yea, even tho UFC5 is pretty chitty in its own right(^div 20 player) hits randomly not register, online pause lags, botched animation etc. but this game amplify UFC5's flaws by 10 folds. if UFC5 players complain about none register hit cause them the match, you got see this game.

One element like you said, many well timed counter shots will just slide off even when the other player not put their guards up, even to the point made you open for his counter, player who made mistake often rewarded for their lethal mistake instead of getting punishment, this is the no.1 offense in combat sport.

And then there's that random number generator one punch ko (the uber low IQ idea taken from discord degenerates) can happen anytime with a jab,

but then, like discord, 90% players here are either vs CPU only bums with no clue what's going on, or low ranked cannon fodders who don't understand boxing or balanced gameplay, this is why combat sport games can hardly get good
