First of all, it's good that someone actually knows about Pencak Silat. It's a very rarely heard of martial art, and a very effective one as well. But this game hardly does it justice.
Moving is very sluggish, it takes your player at least a second to move a single step forward making him very vulnerable to ring-outs. Ring-outs are far too difficult to avoid - once being pushed back, it's impossible to fight your way out. And finally the combat itself is nothing more really than hitting the spacebar and moving forward when your opponent is knocked back or winded.
And most importantly where's some authentic Silat moves? Random kicks and punches and just a single elbow strike is not Pencak Silat.
