Well I competed in Muay Thai for over a decade in real life, and when I did it was def possible to block elbows🙂
But back to the game:
When someone has you in the clinch and elbows you, you only seem to be able to block it when you move forward. If you move backwards, which is the only way to exit the clinch that I know of, your block wont do anything against the elbows. Also when you break free from the clinch your opponent is able to get one punch or elbow in, which also seems impossible to block.
So clinch spammers can just repeat this until the ref stops the fight from the cut and I have no idea how to stop it.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to deal with this.
