EA Sports UFC 2 Community Impressions

[Millennium]

Alright guys. Place nice.

And stop reporting each other back and forth. We know what's going on. Just keep chatter about the game, and not each other.

If you throw a right hook when they throw a left jab, it will allow the hook to interrupt. GPD told us about this the day of, or after the last patch. I think it was added as a counter to jab spam.

That doesn't make any sense. There's no point in throwing a jab with the knowledge that a hook thrown at the same time will not be interrupted by its natural counter.

Why didn't they just drastically reduce the speed of jabs thrown after 2, plus drastically reduce the impact successive jabs will have?

but how is that different than swaying right and then throwing the hook. it makes it seem kind of pointless because its slower. or is there more damage? does it register as a counter or dodge in the game (for perks etc)? wait are you saying that a hook counts as a counter to a jab so it interrupts but there is also bonus/perk damage since its a counter now?

There is certainly a reason to throw a jab. Its the fastest strike in the game and because of that, the best tool to use to stifle your opponents with the new strike interuptions is the jab.

If your opponents catches on to that and starts throwing hooks or overhands over the top(like real life) switch it up and lead with the straight instead.

I'm not talking about it being a counter as in "countering your opponent". More like rock, paper, scissors. There is a counter to each one. I think it is just a strike cancelling hook meant to be a "counter" to jab spam.

I'm sorry, but I find it ridiculous that a jab thrown at the same time as a hook is always going to lose (according to Fish).
