Like aholbert said, I've got to wonder how they play. I know when the game drops we'll be seeing "ZOMG My guy is gassing in the 1st round, whyyyyyyyy?" posts because people are just throwing bomb after bomb and missing. Also, if one of the people playing the game sucks, then you're likely to get a finish, you know?

I am willing to bet that it's slanted more towards finishes than decisions though, because they want the game to be fun for everyone. Look at how much everyone's bashing Machida for being boring and taking fights to decisions....they didn't want the game to become that either. Tough line to walk.

This just doesnt worry me. For example, weve probably seen 4-5 videos of people playing this game. What have we seen in every video? Nobody tries or even attempts to block. Shoot, I think I've only seen one guy attempt a takedown. Why? Because its easy to pick up the game, mash the buttons and throw punches and kicks. Once people learn how to block, takedown and defend submissions, I think you will see more decisions.

Didn't they originally announce that they would release a new version every year?


If thats the case, then I could handle fights rarely going to a decision if thats really the case. I'm sure we will have alot of problems with the 09 version that will be cleared up in time for 2010. Decisions or not, I'm pretty sure this game will keep me busy all the way up to the next release.
