This game truly baffles me when a warrior is knocked to the ground. How many times have I seen a glad getting his ass kicked to the ground, then he unleashes 300-500 point bombs from the ground, when all he could manage standing was 200.
Physically this is completely BULLSHIT!!!! first of all the number one thing working against you is gravity. if you are swing a 2 handed weapon overhead the weapon never has a chance to make its downward portion of the arc because you are hitting a target above you, so momentum is never a factor. The other factor is every human being that has ever walked the fucking Earth strongest part of their body is their legs. Now you don't have your legs to generate any power. And last leverage on the ground when you swing from the ground you lose leverage which shortens your swing arc, your body torque, and forward momentum. Maybe because these 9 foot tall guys in the arena are taller than us on there knees they still have the leverage advantage, I don't know.
An opponent on the ground in reality would be making short quick defense movements to try to get his attacker away from them so that they gain regain there footing. But in the end this is a game. My gripe session for the day.
