“Can people stop pressuring me with pressure fighters? I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO COUNTER YOU”
Bro come on this game is catered towards pressure fighting to the point defensive playstyles are punished. Connor Mcgregor can go 3 rounds throwing constantly like he's nate diaz 😂
Would you rather everyone play defensively? How's that more fun?
Yeah actually, it’s more fun to set up strikes and fight strategically than spamming an unrealistic amount of strikes at someone’s block
I won this fight and usually win against these types of players. Just gets really boring since most players tend to swarm to one style or another en masse. It was clinch spamming a while ago and now it’s this.
Don't bother explaining yourself to these guys, they usually the ones who play by the meta religiously and think it's skill. I know what u mean, had a Connor player go a full 3 rounds spamming every combo without any stamina loss

Cody garbrandt and McGregor are the best for guard breaking haha, McGregor can smash through blocks in 5 or so hits and Cody can smash through blocks in 7 or so hits
Straight up bro got minced by a Connor player who did this😂
Against high cardio characters man, there is one thing that will fuck these guys. If you take them down they are erratic asf, learn some denies and use Calculated Ground n Pound. If you can get better at submissions, if you are facing a player that doesn't really throw in combinations which is the only time headmovement is really effective unfortunately and he's just hoping to land, most of the time their sub defense is garbage lol and with their erratic movement you can chip down their stamina.
Why spam 1-2s then. You have just as many strikes 😂
You have to keep throwing semi-preemptive teeps and straights to keep them from entering the phone booth willy-nilly.
I’m with the notion that this happens too much and also this game sucks. Head movement is useless as most characters, very few are OP enough to actually slip a strike and land a counter that matters before getting hit anyway. Also clinching just gets you dropped with uppercuts just to side step into a takedown and pray you can wrestle fuck
Mix it up body shots just be careful of the uppercuts and mix up kicks to the head and body when he's backing up
Straight up lol non stop like they’re literally smoking meth

I find it weird that people want their guard to be like an elden ring greatshield. Even in fighting games guard breaks exist and/or have chip damage.
Guard breaking is fine and should exist in fighting games. But in this UFC game in particular, the stamina punishment/drain for constantly attacking is just not there -- especially for high cardio characters.
To put this in perspective with Elden Ring PvP, it's as if there are some classes/builds whose stamina drain from attack is much slower than your stamina drain from blocking. In other words, they can attack all day long without really taking a break, while you are left unable to wield your greatshield after maybe five to six hard strikes.
The response to this is typically "just move your head"! But the problem is, against high-cardio characters, moving your head requires basically the same amount of stamina as them striking relentlessly, and if you move your head the wrong way or your opponent goes to the body, you're done.
I get that the game is trying to encourage action and aggressive play -- but the current design just reward almost reckless aggressive play instead of calculated aggression. It also doesn't help playstyle variety when everyone just tries to play meta by picking a high-cardio fighter and jab-jab, then throw wild random combos in hopes that something lands. If it doesn't land, oh well, stamina recovers anyway immediately. Just rinse and repeat.
If you use head movement and you actually slip the strike, it INCREASES the stamina drain of your opponent. So I’m unsure what you mean.
Would you like your diaper changed?
Move your head. Take them down. Clinch. Stop being a fuckin baby.
"Move your head" in a game that has the worst input lag
Buy better internet
I have 10 ms on every other online game i play. UFC4 the only one where the input lag is strong like that
I still can see my opponents strikes and move my head in the game. It's not all about watching, it's predicting.
I won. In case you didn’t notice. It just gets REALLY BORING. It went from knee elbow to clinch spam to now this.
Play something else.
He’s complaining about winning. Aint that something
All people do on this sub is complain about EVERYTHING. Like God damn do something else then
It’s MMA not boxing. Stop trying to block every shot and people wont block break
Problem solved
Or you could get better at the game and counter them for being overly aggressive. But that’d require effort instead of just complaining
I won by pulling their constant round shots and wobbling them in case you didn’t notice. The comment is more about players swarming to this play style - much like the knee or clinch spamming or yore that seems to have fallen out of vogue lately.
It takes way more skill to break block someone than knee-elbow or clinch spam
I welcome that all day since it’s not a completely unbalanced mechanic like knees,elbows, or clinch
