Matt Hughes with rubber guard threw me off a bit.

I've always assumed when I first read about the HUD that there would be no cons to it. Also I have yet to play against a human so I can't quite visualize what you mean. Thanks!

If you're watching the HUD then you're not watching your opponent's moves so you can't block/reverse, which will put you at a huge disadvantage.

I like the new blocking system. I already blocked this way on the first one, I just had to get used to the button change.

Alot of things go into this system and its not as simple as just pushing a direction and letting the bar fill up. Stamina matters. Who you are using and their grappling ratings matters. What perks that player has matters. Grappling advantage matters. Also simple things like reading something takes longer than knowing something comes into play.

For example, If I'm on top in side control and I know that if I press left that puts me in full mount, I am going to transition faster because I dont need to wait for the Hud to tell me what direction to go in. By the time the person on bottom has read the hud and started their transition, I'm halfway done with my transition to full mount.

Who you are using matters too. For example, I loved using Kelvin Gastellum on the ground. He has good grappling stats and perks like Force of Nature and Ground and Pound that make him viable to grind someone on the ground. I'm less successful at the ground with guys like Thiago Alves because their stats arent as good.

Stamina matter too. While I have big issues with the lack of permanent stamina loss on the ground, I've noticed that if you have higher stamina, your bar will fill up quicker.

This is another great point.

I have so many issues with the movesets. This is one of the bigger things I'm discussing with the devs. I'm also worried that it will be a much bigger issue given the size of the roster

Ah gotcha! Def makes sense and I understand it better now, thanks!

Btw, how do you do feints, fake/cancel strikes?

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out! Hold R1+R2 then whatever strike button.
