>most popular martial art in the world right now, and one of the most popular sport>still no proper fighting games based on it (ignoring casual EA stuff)
>>742461331Street fighter 2, nigga. They all have different fighting styles.
>>742461442Mixed Martial Arts as it's actual own martial art, not MULTIPLE MARTIAL ARTS like what it was in the 90s
>>742461331>most popular martial artCorrect me if I am wrong, but MMA itself is not a martial art system but a combat sport.
>>742461639It started as a sport but it pretty much evolved into it's own thing. Nowadays, new fighters can learn MMA on it's own, instead of starting from somewhere else
>>742461331Tekken is the closest in terms of how the flow works compared to MMA fighting but obviously fantasy as fuck.>>742461578Nobody goes to MMA class to practice MMA, they go to MMA classes for pros to practice Muay Thai/BJJ fucking idiot, lmao. for someone who thinks they know anything about martial arts you really know nothing.
>>742461742>it pretty much evolved into it's own thingMMA has its own techniques? I thought it just borrow from other martial arts, that's why it's called mixed martial art.
>>742461331
>>742461639It was originally about different martial arts competing to prove which was the best. It got figured out and morphed into becoming its own thing, which is basically a combination of Muay Thai and Jiujitsu.
>>742462209it has zero unique techniques no formalization of anything other than rules, it was mainly dominated early on by BJJ due to only fighting against rigged fights vs fighters who didn't know what they were doing and they got ass blasted by the Pride's FC's (yakuza ran ´front biz/fighter recruitment scene back in a day) own Gracie Hunter. They got so mad when they refused to go and wrestle on the ground and instead leg kicked the guy hard enough. MMA is bunch of playfighting fraudsters who nullified anything slightly advantageous for fighters that's okay in other sports that has striking and made it castrated (even some forms of Karate allow more striking than MMA.)
EA mma was great, ea ufc is slop.
>>742461331It kills me that spamming headkick works in every UFC game, you can win any of them on the highest difficulty just keeping your distance and spamming headkick
>>742462483that's just how shit works if your shit lands you win if you don't get taken to the ground head kicks generally KO people IRL too but are really hard to land in an actual fight, like 27% ish chance you can even hope to land it.
