I've played maybe 50 fights at this point and the majority of people are only focused on blocking high which leaves them wide open for leg kicks.

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.

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

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

After playing all weekend, I love it and need March to hurry. But, here are the things I'd like to see addressed (may have already been since it's a beta):
- The finish animations on TKO's are weird and glitchy, I'm guessing that's for sure going to be fixed.
- Blocking transitions on the ground is very difficult. Maybe I just don't get that part of the ground game yet, but I feel like you literally have to guess what the other person is doing or just hold the block button (R2) and just wait. Only change I'm not a big fan of so far.
- I love that when you back away from your opponent or vice versa, the fighters have some default animations, but I dislike that some are taunts. If I'm Gunnar Nelson, he shouldn't automatically start doing the "bring it on" animation on his own. That's what the taunt button is far. Now, shaking his arms out, fixing his glove, or whipping the blood/sweat off his face, those are cool to see.
- Finally, the rolling spin kick HAS to go. No one in the UFC does it and it's a terrible spam move. It sucks when you accidentally do it because you're still learning the movesets and Erick Silva does some 360, Breakdance Kick. It destroys the realism of the game and if we can't edit fighter moves in the real version, I wish they'd replace the kick with something fancy, but a bit more realistic.
Those 4 small things are about the only gripes I have with the Beta. And that's a good thing because none of those are game-breakers.

Once you get that down, you should be able to build up a lot of GA. That will make your Break request execute much faster.

I feel stupid right now but what is GA? I am aware of blocking with R2 but it was just wasn't happening for me I guess.
Thank you!
Definitely agree about blocking transitions (both while on bottom and top). It could get easier as time goes on, but as of now, the times I've been in ground battles, it's just a ton of transitions. Sometimes I think for sure i'm holding the stick in the correct position, but I still can't deny. Instead of battling through 1 or 2 positions for extended periods, you get 2 guys scrambling nonstop.
Also, sometimes, R2 doesn't block knees in the clinch. There was a fight where I was holding R2 but still got knocked down with 1 knee. And this happened 4 times in a row...luckily my character (The Donger) survived. Must be something I'm missing...could be related to stamina / damage??
Finally, I'm liking the damage strikes do, I actually hope they don't tone it down. I like being able to stop the fight early in the 1st if I'm legitimately landing hard shots that aren't defended. Didn't people complain that in the first game guys just walked through strikes?

Which way do you deny the mount getup? I can see it coming, but it seems neither left or right deny it.

So uh, this happened last night, what is going on? Did i have a bad acid flashback to Nam?
more of "Blue Man"; no idea how this guy was edited like this but he was a force.

Why are takedowns not being credited in fight statistics? the past 3-4 fights I've had about 4-5 takedowns in each and I get credited for none of them. Regardless if it was single or double leg takedowns. That's pretty game breaking
