Blackman Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Can strikers actually escape from an attempted takedown from the clinch instead of just blocking? I know it used to be in 3, but I haven't seen it much in 4. Or maybe I just forgot it happened as I haven't played in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Again, it just seems weird that people can just "stumble" into a clinch and yet achieve a controlling position. I guess it depends on skill, but I still think it's too big a bonus for someone who is essentially out of gas (yet often immediately scores a takedown).

I'm not sure , you talk about people who fail the takedown, and the defender take the clinch ? I have alot of failed takedown (and no clinch attempt after) but, 70% of the time, it's the attacker who fail the takedown, but take the clinch and go for a judo throw or something like that, a bit.. unrealistic. (It was realistic in 2005-2006, not anymore, the takedown defense with the cage behind has greatly improved) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManUnderMask Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Has anyone gotten someone to do a soccer kick or throw a knee to the head of a grounded opponent? I have all of those on and I've only seen a few guys even bother with stomps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all of those on and I've only seen a few guys even bother with stomps. Never. It happened in WMMA3 pretty frequently in my games. Wanderlei even used to go for "flying stomps". I'd love to see the frequency of all stomps, soccer kicks, and grounded knees increased in WMMA4. JGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if that wasn't clear. But never mind, it seems skill is somehow taken into account when initiating the clinch. It's not an automatic dominant position.

Razor Sharp Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I've played WMMA4 for about a week now, and the contract system is good, but for some reason, I never really minded the WMMA3 contract system. I kinda liked it, actually, so I found it weird that I managed to play 200 hours on steam before finding out that the contract system was actually disliked. On a different note, does anyone know the rate in which relationships involving two different (or same) genders? Like Pamela O'Neill and Anthony LeToussier dating? Also, have you ever had same sex relationships in your game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 There's very little to no gay people in the default database. There's some in O+ but no relationships seem to develop organically. At least not in my games (with relationship on very high). In TEW, it actually matters if there's weddings etc. Here, they just won't fight each other (if same sex). So it's a cosmetic thing, really. The only relationships developing in-game are friends/rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Sharp Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Funny thing about relationships in this game, no relationships were ever made in my game of WMMA3, while in my WMMA4 game, it always seems like people piss each other off a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 These last few years I've been experiencing an unrealistic number of leglock attempts. Seems like leglock skill is improving with all fighters so they'll occasionally go for them. It's true that in reality there's more leglock attempts then you'd think (they just don't work, just like in the game it's rare they actually succeed), but sometimes they just spam them over and over you'd think they're just stalling.
