Very informative stuff in there I'm sure a lot of people have no idea about. This level of transparency will ultimately let even the casuals become better players. GPD, since you're implementing this, I hope that "Perfect Swoop meter" is on the way too. That's a game changer there.

Im a player that considers himself good on the ground, and the GA advantage meter interests me. Im SURE there are parts of GA that I dont understand, and within a week of playing with the meter it will clear it up. Then I will never look again I imagine lol

Im hoping this will lead to more people learning the ground game. Im not great standing, I learned ground, and beat most players there quite easily, so in a way Im silly to try and stand, hence not really improving

Hopefully this will mean more of a challenge on the ground, forcing me to up my standup game

GA meter should be in offline only.

I'm of the opinion that if you're looking at the grapple meter you're not looking for the transition tells and will miss a reverse. Adds in another layer to the ground.

I would understand if its not in competitive though, but I don't think its gonna affect is as badly as you're imagining

I think people are more worried about it being used for decisions since you can try and maintain GA. When someone has their back to the cage, they are at a disadvantage. Etc.

If that comes into play in the decisions then yea I can see how that would be an issue :/ i think it will be good for informative purposes though

Some will be able to probably. Watch this video to get an idea.

Any tweaking of the judging criteria in this new patch? Since Octagon control moronicly scores higher than total shots landed, damage and sig strikes...

FYI, thats not they way the devs described it to me a few weeks ago. Damage and effective striking rate higher than octagon control. Now effective striking doesnt necessarily mean more sig strikes than another.

For example, I could land 14/30 and you land 18/70 sig strikes. You may have landed more sig strikes but I was more effective than you based on my striking percentage.

Octagon control and aggression does matter (maybe a little too much) but according to the devs its lower on the totem pole than striking.
