Thread: No more button mashing option!

I love playing online on fn3 but the problem is I also love playing using the total punch control of the analog sticks, and when I come up against someone who doesn't use the sticks and has it switched to another config I basically have no chance because it allows them to throw hard fast punches that are real hard to block and counter. So I would love to see the next game have that option taken away so it remains more realistic and fair when you have an online game!

am looking forward to this one myself - just for the online mode. Hope they get it right. This game was never as much fun playing against the cpu in career mode.

And I hope they bring back the one punch knockout ! Not seen since Knockout Kings 2001.

Not got FN3 but do you not have the options of only playing against someone using analogue rather than buttons ??

I'm on PS3 and online there is a room called analog only but there is never anyone in it.

There is the odd one punch KO in fn3 but they are so few and far between that I'd dare say a lot of people haven't even see them.

Yeah it's rare, it's happened at my house against friends, you have to land a haymaker with perfect timing, when an opponent has a certain amount of health and moves a certain way. It's about the same odds as getting a royal flush.

do you have a xbox 360 killersheep if so let me know and il show you how to do it

I'm sorry rjjtszyu, I hate the 'Total Punch Control'....I'm not one of those guys who presses all the damn buttons at the same time either, I just like being able to throw punches without having to look at the manual every 2 seconds.

same here, i actually set up punches and use strategy, not just randomly tap buttons hoping for the best

thats just it though - it shouldnt be that rare if realistic, it happens quite often.

I once won against my brother on KK2001 with Ray Leonard with my first punch of the fight just 8 seconds in. Class !

And I once got kayoed in finak round with a full bar when my opponent had been down about 3 times and I thought I was on verge of a stoppage - that's realism

you sound like an old man lyle, haha..

total punch control is great in my opinion, just takes some getting used to.

That is exactly what I do!

The parrying and hayemakers are what the button mashers use nonstop. If someone really wanted to make the game better you have to make power punches mean something and if you get caught with one then you are hurt or go down, that simple....you shouldn't have to hit somebody 5 billion times to knock them down and keep them down

Yeah but Lyle they have made it so that if you have 2 players against each other who played it equal amount of time, one using TCP the other using other (button mashing) configs the player who uses TPC has no chance because they can't throw the perfect punch every time whereas the buttons DO deliver it perfect everytime!

That sounds more like a personal problem to me
