Mooncutter Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 If you standup from top in someones guard, it says "Standup". I interpert that as being different than an escape, which by definition is from the bottom, right? So you don't need the escape skill to standup from top position, as I interpret it. Is this correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyRose Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 So you don't need the escape skill to standup from top position, as I interpret it. Is this correct? Very good question, but I don't think that's the case. If you're a BJJ guy who wants to pull guard, you have the option to not allow your opponent to stand up even if he's on top. They need a skill to do it, and Escapes is probably it. Still would be nice to know exactly what's what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 They are one and the same. This. The slider option for Stand Up utilizes primarily the escape skill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularJohn Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 this might be good for the game which is geared towards stand up already, but it's kinda weird. I have never seen someone have trouble standing up from top position in real fights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen someone have trouble standing up from top position in real fights. If you're engaged on the ground and in your opponents guard, not standing over your opponent, it's not easy to just stand up. Not hard to transition into a body triangle to keep your opponent from standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If standup didn't use the escape skill as much. Of course it would be less effective, but still a legitimate strategy in using less points. In real life, standing up is very easy from top position, unless you're in someone's guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hard to transition into a body triangle to keep your opponent from standing. but any half decent fighter will be able to create enough space and get up if he wants. even Mark Hunt was able to throw some ground and pound on Werdum then stand up when he felt like. anyway, this is a non issue in the game.
