UFC 3 update 1.09 Changelog
- Improved AI’s awareness of more complex evasion directions for certain strike scenarios.
- Remove straight stopping power on empty slip strike
- Major lunging to the outside of an overhand will now evade the strike.
- Added ability to block while lunging.
- This basically means straight punches will do hook damage and take advantage of side vulnerability when landed at an angle greater than 45 degrees to your opponent. And hooks that land to the front of the face will do straight damage.
- Added new damage logic to account for large angles created when evading forward moving strikes with lunges.
- Added new pivot lunges. Pivot lunges are special lunges that chain in certain directions off successful head movement to allow you to pivot off and make your opponent stop tracking, giving you another way of creating angles.
- This means side stepping a fwd moving combo will see your opponent go flying by you, allowing you to create angles on your opponent the game never supported before, for a potential counter opportunity or to regain control of the octagon.
- Made it so an attacking fighter will stop tracking their opponent when a side lunge evades a forward moving strike.
