FUCKING BULLSHIT!! The randomness of this game is really starting to piss me off. Whats the point of sparring, getting better equipment, and matching up styles if u just get fucked over royally?
http://mmarmy.com/showfight.php?fight=1872607. I fought one of my best ground guys against some chump with only wresting and brawling in a lower org to get him back on his feet and not only did he lose, he got submitted! he got submitted by someone with one fucking star BJJ. WTF. Fuck this site, whats the point if its totally random and doesnt take into account that a guy is at a crazy skill mismatch. Fuck this place.
Huh?
You didn't "match up styles" well at all.
Your fighter's power-locks in at best average with one of the key stats (strength) being below 2*. His fighter had decent GnP stats with pretty much all the standard primary and secondary skills at over 2*.
PL/GnP is a fairly even matchup (I couldn't honestly tell you at this point who has the advantage) where it generally comes down to who has the better built fighter. He did. You lost. Your fighter had also previously lost to a GnP fighter with similar stats (again by submission) as well as beaten GnP fighters. The fight could have gone either way, and it went against you.
Your fighter has a pretty poor PL build, which explains his limited success, not the "Randomness" of the game. You picked a bad fight for your guy and didn't luck out.
I would once again repeat the MMArmy Mantra:
"If at first you don't suceed, the game must be broken".
BTW, about the "1* JJ submissions"
Butterbean has 6 submission wins. BJ Penn has 5. Who has the better JJ skills?
Mark Coleman has 8 submission wins. Werdum has 5. Who has the better JJ skills?
Submissions (especially gaining them) do not begin and end with JJ.
