when are they gonna fix transition denial cheese by adding forced ref stand ups?
Title. Just got held down for literally 20 odd minutes after beating the shit out of a dude for every second we were standing. He didn’t try to ground and pound, barely shot for subs, and mostly just laid on top of me.
How has this not been fixed yet. It’s boring, and most of all pathetic. You know who you are.
I think the easiest fix would be if you deny 5 transitions in a row with no other inputs, or 15 seconds pass by and the only inputs you’ve made are transition denials, then you’re forced to stand back up. Even that’s a bit gracious considering the bottom guy loses stamina while this happens.
You need to advance position either through submission positions or ground and pound. If you’re throwing some pitter patter shots from side control or crucifix, you’re not playing the game. And this happens all the time IRL anyways.
