Sudden upsurge in glitchers?

Has anyone noticed more game glitchers since the patch was announced? i just ragequit twice and quite frankly am offended again by the crap you have to put up with online, i feel like joining the queue of people waiting for the patch

So anyone else seen what i seem to be seeing? like a desperate bid to rank up before they cant run and haymaker over and over and spin spin spin, bah, ragethread

Yep ive noticed.
There are quite a few of them that have made it onto the heavyweight OWC top 100 ranks.
the pattern is to gluefoot and punchspam casual users but when they start to lose they disconnect either resulting in
the match not registering in your win/loss record, or in some cases you get the loss.

There is also a HUGE amount of lag switchers (which is retarded because I can still counter and jab through lag, it actually helps me see their punches and react quicker smh) , who are noob, and they end up losing for doing that disconnect.

im used to the usual crap you find but either my ranking up has me facing these fools or im just getting some bouts with people who have waaaay too much fight time on their hands, no jobs etc, one guy was literally just countering, almost any punch was countered so only about 20 punches thrown in round one, i just quit due to boredom in round 2, i managed to counter him like crazy a bit when he finally started attacking but wasnt in the mood for such a boring fight

AH yeah the counter-puncher is usually aslo someone who can run away pretty good as well.
I usually just try to get ahead of them on the scorecard with jabs then when they realize they are down they will sit at the other end of the ring and not move OR, they will be forced to come after you and fight. When they come after you is your time to unload on them, if you blow it though its gonna be a long fight..

to some degree youre gonna have to expect people with annoying styles.
its just sad though when its costing you 20 min per game and you cant use your skill because someone is lag quitting, or glitching

Regardless of anypatches for this game, I'm serioulsy considering not playing online anymore. There are so many people on there using all the exploits to the max. Counter spammers, gluefeet glitchers ,spinners, laggers, you name it, it's all there giving me a headache. It starts getting ridiculous when someone counters almost every punch you throw including the jab. And I'm picking my shots, not throwing wild. Hell , you get countered even if you don't throw the punch. What is that sh!@# !? I'm gonna stick to offine for now, it's more fun anyway. Maybe for the heck of it I'll play a few matches online one day if I get the urge.

Stopped reading at the bolded text. It was the first complaint you went to and the most rediculous of all of them.

You can't spam counters. YOU CANNOT SPAM COUNTERS.

If your opponent is landing counter after counter, it's because you are throwing punch after punch in a easily read-able pattern allowing them to counter you over and over. On top of that, just because you are paused from the counter window doesn't mean you can't block. I've avoided multiple counters in a row before, it's not impossible.

Stop complaining about your lack of skill.

This upcoming patch will fix 90% of the real issues, but if the opponent landing counters is a real issue for you, then you are playing the wrong game and watching the wrong sport.

Now if they will just adjust the jab and clinch I think this game would be nearly perfect.

That statement through me off too. The only way to counter spam..if that's even possible is if your opponent keeps throwing allowing you to counter....two to tango I guess

Yeah, dude is probably a punch spammer himself. Best way to counter a spammer is to "counter spam" as he calls it. Make them think twice before throwing 50 punches in a row.

He doesn't seem to grasp the concept of skill and talent, and the fact that he may just not be that skilled.

Hey modernautomatic, maybe next time you should read the rest of the story before you make judgements on my play in this game . I'm sure your just the type of player that over abuses the counter in this game. If you knew how read the rest of what I had to say you would have read that people still counter regardless if there is a punch thrown. I don't go in there throwing wild like your presumed. Instead I try to find openings , but when almost 95 percent of what I throw is countered , including the jab, then it's just ridiculous. You can rarely hit your opponent with a jab because of the step counters. It becomes nothing but a counterfest. And he was just waiting around trying pull counters. You got people who spin their way to pull counters as well which is ridiculous.

I think thats what a counter puncher does.

I think we get what you are trying to say its just more fun to pick on ya cause you said "Counter spam" and literally you cant force a counter, but you can apparently annoy and frustrate people by landing a lot of them.

Pretty much. And when they counter you when you don't even throw a punch it gets more frustrating.

As far as there being more glitchers now than before the patch, all that happens is guys who use exploits just move from one exploit to another. Patch the spam, and the spin becomes more prominant.... ETC ETC...

As far as counter spam- Guys like Paingametime were counter spammers, just constant back stepping..... Guys who spin could be considered counter spammers too....

There is such a thing as counter spamming......

Uh...what?

How can there be a counter when there's no punch? What are they countering, your intentions? The very word implies that it's a response to an attack.

And how often are you really running into people that counter 95% of your punches?? I've played a lot of the people on the top 100 and only seen maybe 4-5 who could actually counter well and not just be good at the glue foot-perfect block-spam exploits.
