Are so many grapples seriously missing?

[cloudropis]

Or am I missing something? Because they removed A LOT of standing grapples.

The ones I've noticed all seem to have one thing in common: they are kick/punch combinations, or generally brawling attacks. For example, Running Kick, Hammer and Sickle, Chain of Punches, Arm Wrench Clothesline, Short-Arm Chops and the European Uppercats (!!!) (also, unrelated, the Vertical Reverse STO is missing too).

What the hell? One of the best things about 2k15 were the quick medium-front grapples, especially for brawler characters since it meant seeing a combination of kicks, punches and clotheslines without plodding through some elaborated wristlock or transitional stance like in 2k14. Is everything really removed?

I never played WWE 2K15 so I can't really comment on what's missing. But they reassigned striking grapple moves as strong strikes, some of the moves you mentioned are definitely still in the game just no longer standing grapples D:

for the love of god. there are still quick medium and strong grapples. most moves have been reanimated. hardly nothing has been removed. this isn't 2k14. and this isn't an arcade series.

You are right, most of if not every one of them is now in strong strikes. Thanks!

i'll slow it down for you

 

1. THERE ARE STILL QUICK, MEDIUM, AND STRONG GRAPPLES

2. MOST MOVES HAVE BEEN REANIMATED, HARDLY ANYTHING REMOVED

3. THIS IS NOT 2K14.... WHICH WAS A THQ GAME.

4. THIS ISN'T AN ARCADE SERIES WHICH MEANS TRANS GRAPPLES ARE NOT REQUIRED.

Meet Jeff, he tends to overact to simple questions 

[Steenalizer]

Careful Joey, he might change his username & quit the forum for less than a day again.

[DrJoeyMagnum]

He's done that well over ten times on my watch, although to my knowledge he's only changed his username twice over a leaving the forum tantrum SeeYaSmacktalks and fuckthisforum, the scary thing is the man is in his 30's, you'd think he'd be above that immature nonsense

@Jai, I don't know how but you managed to miss entirely the point of literally everything I said, so you can keep your smarmyness to yourself. Your answer reads like someone put my post into a world scrambler and fed it to Netjester,

Anyway, this is a pretty cool change, I heard on some pre-release info how they were gonna separate grapples from brawling attacks but I never elaborated further on what they meant. This actually doubles the moves available for some move positions.

Jeff your comments don't match up with what he actually said at all XD

Yea, personally I love the change. The moveset layout this year is by far my favourite out of all the WWE games I've played.

[mrblacksheep]

When they restrict certain moves to specific grapples or strikes, it limits what you can do with movesets and it sucks but those moves you mentioned are still in game, just moved.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this change actually give you more available moves overall per moveset? Like I said I love the change, I find everything more easily accessible than I did in past games. But I can see your point, it hasn't really affected me so far based on the movesets I've done but I guess it would be pretty shit for anyone who's more of a brawler than a grappler.

On this note I must say it does really piss me off how certain grapples are limited to strong grapples, some of which I might add aren't even overly spectacular or devastating compared to some of the unrestricted moves. That's an absurd limitation I really don't get >_>
