To play devil ' s advocate I can imagine in a street setting , getting to the clinch would be easier because of obstacles walls , other people , tables , curbs , etc . Buakaw obviously trains several days a week for the clinch , but maybe not as many defending wrestling or judo takedowns . A purple belt may train wrestling or judo takedowns several days a week depending on their background . Buakaw may be a world class competitor but there is value in consistent training and muscle memory . On the ground , Buakaw spends probably 0 days a week grappling , whereas the purple belt spends 25 . <| sep |> Well , as they say , is never too late , specially in the case of this wonderful series with all its up and down , make yourself at home Reading your post makes me feel more confident for this game , I preordered even without having the console yet that will have to wait two weeks more , but this is the kind of passion that this franchise cause in me . Sometimes I ' m pretty hard on this series , as a lot o people out there , because we always want the next installment be larger than life , and your post makes me realize that is not about FF XV being the ultimate FF , is about enjoy a wonderful and fun journey . If it is good for a first timer I ' m pretty sure will be good enough for me . Apologies for my english if something sounds weird .
