Here is the much awaited fifth Q&A session with John Edwards. In this installment, he addresses your questions on combat. Click on the post title to read his responses and thank you for your patience.

Any unlockables that we can get?
While I can’t reveal specifics, yes, we do provide unlockable content.

Any sharing created fighters with friends?
While you can utilize your CAF generated fighters to compete with your friends, we do not currently support sharing your CAF fighters.

Trophies and achievements for PS3/Xbox 360?
Definitely!

Combat

Flying arm bars in the game?
Yep!

How many ways can a fight be stopped?  After a serious punishment, can you just collapse from a light punch?
Fights can be ended through knockouts, by tapping out due to submission or by TKO through an accumulation of damage. Much like a real UFC bout, any time a fighter is unable to defend himself, the fight will be stopped.

Only strikes of a certain power level can cause a knockout. For instance, a jab, no matter how cleanly landed, is generally not enough to knock out an opponent, but it definitely contributes to the cumulative damage that a fighter is able ot absorb and can set up a hook or head kick to end the fight in a brutal fashion.

Will there be special fighting styles for specific fighters, Silva?
Not complete fighting styles per se, but specific fighters will definitely have supplemental strikes, submissions, slams, transitions or counters that are unique to them. Anderson Silva, for example, has the unique ability to catch a punch and immediately pull an opponent into his Muay Thai clinch!
