BudLight Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 I read in one of the fight commentaries that Fighter A is trying to slow down Fighter B with leg kicks. Is this actually the case or is this just a flavor text? If this is the case, how does fighter A slow down fighter B? Reduces his speed, his aggression? A number of moves per minute/round?

Rambo Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Because of that line, most would assume it does, myself included. Not sure if it actually impacts speed over the fight but it definitely reduces a fighters energy and lower energy = lower output, so similar result.

BudLight Posted May 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Ok, so what do body kicks and body punches do? If I remember correctly, body punches and body kicks gas out the opponent, which is the same thing right - lower energy, as you say, lower output? So bottom line, body kicks and leg kicks have same purpose, just the leg kicks are easier to execute and it takes less out of your fighter? Or maybe I am wrong about this?

Rambo Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 body kicks take a lot more out the tank. I can't guarantee you that leg kicks drain opponents energy, tbh. It's an assumption. Not sure if I can recall a fighter landing a leg kick and opponent popping "he's breathing heavily" after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10thPlanetKT Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 I thought leg kicks saps all physicals overtime (Agility/Strength/Speed/Balance/Flexibility) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Its like PunchesAccuracy from lower to higher: Combos, Body Punch, Head PunchEnergy sap from lower to higher: Head punch, body punch, combos?Its the same for kicks. Both body and leg kicks saps energy. Legs have higher base accuracy and lower damage 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10thPlanetKT Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 O wow I didn't know combos drain energy. Learn something everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 O wow I didn't know combos drain energy. Learn something everyday I suppose so, since head shots drains energy as well. But not sure, hence "combo?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakja420 Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Let's think about this from a more realistic standpoint for the game. Also this is just my own opinion Leg kicks and body kicks will both effect your opponent's physicals I believe that body kicks take most effect on someone's Conditioning! While I believe leg kicks will take most effect on someone's Agility , Speed, and Balance. From a realistic standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuzbukit Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 I recall reading that speed (i.e foot movement) would be most affected by Leg kicks, while Agility is mostly upper body evasion (i.e head movement). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticStryder Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 I remember either reading or being told something similar to above as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakja420 Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Now I know for sure that leg kicks will affect a person speed! My fighter InSaen Chai had landed 51 out of 70 leg kicks against his opponent William Stubbs. And it says this in the fight .... "You can see that Stubbs has visibly slowed down as a result of the leg kicks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard telling without confirmation from Mike or whoever programmed the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is just a "Maybe" to what we actually know the leg kicks effect... But if the creator did add some realism to it, I hope that the leg kicks have more effects on other physicals than just the conditioning/energy...

I've definitely seen "he's gassed" from leg kicks landing so I'm pretty sure it just impacts the energy meter... at least the only thing concrete we can prove is that it impacts energy meter anyway.

Was one of the faster ones I've seen. I've seen it with two body shots (with huge damage sliders and KO power), but I don't recall seeing just one body shot apart from maybe a knee. So maybe the leg kick did a fair bit of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 body kicks massive energy sappers, leg kicks minimal energy sappers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuzbukit Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Found where I read about leg kicks affecting speed - though this may have changed since. Leg kicks still seem to affect energy, albeit to a far lesser degree than body kicks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
