Its a risk. EA seems to be turning a blind eye to this stuff but most of the people who have been streaming or posting videos are either established websites or Gamechangers. EA still has the right to pull the video or ban someone if they choose.

Ya I played a couple guys last night. They only blocked high. I was using Wonder boy. So I kept blasting him with body kicks knees and leg kicks. I actually felt like I was spamming a tad. I kept waiting for him to block low but he never did. I mean what do you expect me to do if you completely don't adjust or defend it.

I'm so in love with this game that it's not even funny. I just finished fighting a Condit online and I was absolutely destroying this guy on the feet. However, he managed to backpedal his way out of several stun states, so we went to the third. In that round he must have just lost hope or something. His entire offense consisted of nothing but consecutive flying knees and spinning kicks. It was hilarious. I ended up finishing him off with a flying knee of my own.

I've yet to encounter any styles or situations online that I haven't been able to overcome. I've played a ton of games to this point, so that's a very good thing. I'm going to wear the beta out by the time the 4th rolls around. My only real issues are things that have already been mentioned in the thread. I'd like to see more finish the fight animations and have them fix the issue where you sometimes don't immediately attack a stunned opponent on the ground. I'm sure they'll get those things together, though. This game is in really good shape at this point.

Yea, the leg kicks are a little overpowered. I haven't been tko'd from leg kicks yet, but I've been knocked down from only a few successful leg kicks way too much online. I'm pretty good at checking them now though. I just think it takes too few to damage your leg and out you in a stun state or make you fall...

All that is well and good, but I still haven't quite figured out blocking transitions. I feel like I'm timing them right, but it's not working out. Back to the dojo, I suppose.

This is how i feel too. I think they need to widen the window for blocking transitions. It's almost to the point where you have to guess which side they're going because there's not enough time to see and react (unless the person's stamina is really low).

Because of this, it just turns into a transition fest on the ground, back and forth, especially between mount and half guard.

This too, most of the time when someone gets stunned, they're just able to backpedal away, i've seen a couple animations where my fighter goes into attack mode right away and the person isn't able to backpedal away, but it needs to happen pretty much every time a person is stunned.

Also, when someone gets knockdown, the attacker should automatically jump on the fighter, at least if you're pressing a strike button, because too many times after a knockdown, the person on the attack is just swinging at empty air while the guy is on the ground.

I don't have a problem with leg kicks at the moment. I've stopped two guys with them so far; one of them just a minute ago. In the fight I just had, the guy was was so worried about his head that I just kept mixing it up and chopping away at his legs while he tried to recover. Eventually 'ol GSP couldn't take anymore. I'm glad that you actually have to worry about checking kicks. I've been in situations where my legs were getting ate up and I either protected them more by checking, or I took the fight to the clinch or ground to give them a break from the punishment. I've yet to be stopped by them.

I don't know about the transitions. I'm having issues, but I'm going against guys that are denying my stuff at a decent clip. I feel like I'm doing something wrong right now. The ground on the last game was pretty basic, so maybe I just have to get new habits. I'll just have to wait and see if I figure it out.

As far as improvements, I thought about one more thing while I was playing. Why doesn't this game have replays like Fight Night? In those games you could view clips from different angles and it was a very nice feature. I think a system like that in this game would be especially nice. I'm not sure how much work goes into putting something like that together, but I'd really like to see that.

So is the clinch broken? There seems to be no way to block any knees or even get out. O_o
