RITC: Team East discussion

[DakkoN]

How about hitting someone while they are getting up off their back? In the UFC it's a penalty but in the game you can freely hit them and it'll knock them straight back to the ground.

Which, getting up off the ground happens sort of fast, and there's a bit of delay in a kick to the ground, so kicks while they are getting up happens on accident in the game sometimes.

Maybe have it where if you accidently hit someone while they are getting up and it causes them to fly back on their back again, have it be required that you back up and let them stand up after that.

I played alot last night as Chuck just to get more used to the stand up. What I noticed is something you are talking about here. Rua kept laying on his back. I kept chopping at his legs. After 5 or 6 kicks the ref would stand us up. Just like in the UFC you can hit them any time they are trying to get up without the stoppage from the ref.

So I think it should be like this in the game. There are counters to it. With Rua you can hold RB+RS and it will go into a rolling knee bar, which even if blocked will result in both being on the ground.

I think the correct way is to just protect yourself. If you get up on yor own when they are right on top you. Be ready to protect yourself. The smart move is to allow the ref to stand you up. Then continue the fight.

I am interested in the special moves though

I think hes confused on the UFC rules, you cant kick or knee a person on the ground in the head, body and lega are fair game.

btw, cant wait to see pappy's reaction week one, when we go to touch gloves and i ko him with a super man punch hehehe =)

JK of course (i will ko him tho)

My main point is lets just see how it goes without saying "you are allowed 3 superman punches per round"

I agree on gamey tactics being looked down upon - but let's just play the game first before creating a bunch of house rules. I had one buddy spam superman punches on me and it was an easy kill, my other buddy just kept backing off and tried to counter-hit me and it was a good fight.

Let's not fix a problem before there actually is one. That's all. How dumb would it be if people started getting reported for throwing 4 superman punches and lost by 'special move rule'. lol

One last thing about the superman punch: I'm unsure on a few things about the game such as this -

does the kickboxer have a harder highkick by default than muay thai?
If he does not, the superman punch is an essential weapon because it's really the only thing seperating him from the muay thai fighter, but on the other hand a thai fighter has the knee and thai plum... see what I'm getting at here?
handicapping a kickboxer w/ his move like this would lead to other rules too - like how abount only mounting an opponent once per round, or only performing one sweep (reversal) per round. We can watch UFC dvd's if we're after exact replica style matches.

In closing, let's just see how it goes and assume everyone on OS will play in a decent way w/o using 'exlpoits' or spamming.

Of course, I am not in the East, but this is where most of the discussion is taking place. Before we starting putting all these rules in place, how about we see it how it goes for a week or two? Then, if there are multiple complaints, look into some rule changes or just kick the person out who is causing the problems.

I think the more rules you have in place, the less fun this league is going to be.

[boxboy99]

I would assume difficulty level affects how much movements such as a superman punch cost. ie more on the higher levels than then lower levels. I wonder if online you can change the difficulty level?

[Stumbleweed]

I'm with Dookie -- I really don't think that we need to worry aobut people overusing things like the Superman Punch considering the group of people we have... If there is a problem with it, it seems best to address it with that person first and then decide if a rule is warranted. Placing an arbitrary cap on a specific move isn't something that I would support, even if I support the spirit of it...

I think Allbthere route will be the best one. We don't know all the ins and outs of the game yet so lets just stick to playing it in a realistic fashion.

If anything comes up that seems like a problem across the board and everyone is in agreement that it is a issue then you will create a rule for it.

As of now lets just have a touch gloves before the fight and then like they say "Lets Get it On"
