Hi @KidShowtime1867,
I agree, there is no mechanic to counter hipcheck spammers, however, I'm quite successful to avoid them as you said, but I don't understand why devs think, that was a good idea to give players ability to press one button to make a hipcheck. In my opinion, that was a big mistake, because hipcheck is very powerful tool. In previous years, game balance was guaranteed, because the way how to pull it out properly was much more difficult and you could even trip someone if you made a mistake. Now, everyone is just spamming X in every possible situation and players are quite successful without any skills. I like your idea about reverse-hit mechanic to be more of a 'hit resistance' mechanic, so it would be possible to use reverse hitting against hipcheck spammers as well. That would be great, I think. Thank you.
@Ampereturn One button hip checks aren't necessarily an issue. Being able to change your trajectory and flip people over with no momentum or bulk are. If you are standing in front of a player and crouch, they are going to shove through or you're going to be called for "clipping".
Hip checks require timing and momentum to connect with your target with enough force to create an impact.
The physics are simply wrong how they are applied. If a hip check from the front was called as a clipping penalty and a hip check that maybe grazed a player from behind had no effect, a one button move wouldn't be an issue.
The controls don't change that (though they do make it more accessible and less risky).
