Delayed Gameplay / Excessive Stamina Consumption / No Impact / Pillow Hands.
I've been playing this game since beta pretty consistently, and I’ve only had a few sessions (about 5-6) with completely smooth gameplay, and every time I have one of these legendary sessions I play the game as much as possible because smooth gameplay is incredibly rare, now let me explain what a regular session is like. I load up the game and I play 1 or 2 games, with a small (but still annoying) delay that’s about 1/3 of a second, and then on about the third game the delay shoots up to a whole second. If you don’t understand how bad this is then you haven’t play the game, because this gives a level 1 hook spammer the opportunity to beat a technical maxed out level 99 because the timing is so off. This is my main issue with the game right now, and it should be fixed as soon as possible.
I like to play the game very technically aggressive with kickboxers (like Israel Adesanya) with a large amount of teeps, body roundhouses, and leg kicks, however when I play in this style I can constantly land these kicks clean and significantly out strike my opponent, but by the next round my character (who is supposed to be a trained kickboxer) is gassed from kicking, and the opponent (who took 80 strikes to the body) has a slight dent in his body health and more stamina. A fix for this can be more damages to body strikes, or more stamina efficiency overall.
This one should be pretty simple, it feels like the impact of the shots is gone. I could’ve sworn that the shots had a lot more impact in them from the sound that they make, and the vibrations in the controller. Around 3 months ago I noticed that the strikes started to feel less meaningful because of the change/bug. This should be a pretty simple fix.
I was a little hesitant about this one because I couldn’t decide if it was just terrible luck or if was a genuine glitch, but I could be playing as Ilia Topuria and land 100 strikes to the head and not get a single rock, but my opponent could be playing as Bryce Mitchell and land a single straight and rock me back to back to back. I’m not sure about this one but it would be nice if it was looked into.
