Why you're never allowed to feint a fighters upper body and step out of the way at the same time in fighting games is beyond me

No replay mode?
Really?
What a shame.

Remember, it's a Beta (unless you're bummed it's not in that limited mode)?

Also from the parts I was watching he was playing in practice mode, not quick match or anything.

You're basing this off of a Beta?

Pretty happy with what I saw and given the circumstances (taking it easy on their host, Rampage, and still learning the ropes themselves).

Ground game looks amazing. Would look even better when we learn the game and don't need the Grapple Assist HUD anymore. The transitions from ground to standing clinch back to ground are so smooth. Scrambles are now possible!

I like the stopping power that they added. No more walking through flying knees and head kicks like a Terminator.
Hard to see how improved the stamina system was considering they had graphics obscuring the stamina bar and they were playing Rampage's style to entertain the viewers (i.e. swing for the fences non-stop). This also gave us a lot of opportunities to see the new KO physics which looked exceptional.

It does appear that most people will make heavy use of head movement like Anderson Silva. One thing I wondered when watching the video was why no one was throwing that leg kick when their opponent was going matrix. Seemed like an obvious punishment.

Basing what? I enjoyed the first one, this looks comparable with slight improvements. I'd give it a whirl.
