I just put the hands to this Lawler guy with Kenny Robertson or whatever his name is lol. This beta is too much, man.

Ahobert, if you see me on later just throw me an invite. I'm trying to bang out here.

Eh. Play the game man. I can tell you for a fact that dudes aren't throwing nearly amount of punches per round that they did last year.

I watched his stream last night. His body spam is hilarious. In regards to the ground game. I don't have the Beta but I've read GPD breakdown 4 times already. Essentially if you secure a takedown quick knees to the body or quick little punches to the body will now get you a grappling advantage. I think alot of ppl are diving into the ground with no practice or idea of how to gain an advantage.

Tweedy's stream isnt a great example of what people will see. 1) He is one of the best players at the game. 2)He doesnt seem to play with a wide range of fighters and those tactics are only good with certain fighters. For example, constant pressure worked against me when someone used Alves but the same guy tried that with Ryan LaFlare and I starched him. 3) This is just my opinion but his goal is to win at all costs so some of his tactics may be questionable but its not really spamming if you can do things to stop the spam....the issue is most people arent good enough to avoid it right now.

The ground game is nice, I think with practice it could be pretty fun. Right now, having to look at the grapple assist, it doesn't allow me to react quickly enough to block transitions consistently. The striking seems to have more power (able to KO with straight punches, etc.), and the physics based KOs are awesome looking, although sometimes when you're throwing strikes at each other the fighters look like rubber, flopping around a bit too much. Blocking using both high / low is pretty tough, if you're trying to gauge your opponent and react accordingly, rather than just holding one of the buttons.

Also, the weird thing where my fighter will switch stances coming out of takedown defense or standing up is still there...

Overall, the beta is already a huge improvement over the first game.

Exactly. They are only looking for subs and relying on the HUD too much.
