How to clinch?

[Elblackwoodo]

how do I initiate a clinch?
I always get involved in a clinch when I come to close to my enemy... but how do I counter it? or how can I even initiate it?

always gettin' a knee to the face! :C

Been playing on ps4 for a few days now. Here's what I can gather about clinching so far:

It's triggered by enemy proximity and appears to be based off stats. Strength I think.
There is a perk you can unlock (strength tree I think. Need to check that.) that gives you +30% to beat your opponent, which is how I came to the conclusion it's a hidden roll on a stat.
After picking that perk I'm now consistently kneeing dudes in the face while clinching. Fist fights just got alot easier.

I may be wrong so feel free to correct me.

You have to be upclose to the enemies.The stats / perks determine the probability of when a clinch "proccs"

It's apparantly a system to keep chars. from getting too close with blades and clipping through, and so I think that yes, it really only happens when you get real close. Why you see *alot* of clinches during fist fights.

So to initiate one, just get close. Since the 'clinch master' skill is in the Strength tab, I'm guessing it's strength that utilizes it.

Just keep walking into them when in combat. (w key) if you're close enough they'll start the clinch. left/right mouse buttons do different moves.
Unarmed combat its the right mouse button to knee them in the face, left just kicks them away from you.

Get someone up against a wall or corner, and you can clinch-knee them in the face, right mouse punch, clinch knee face, right mouse punchm over and over again lol

When you get to the practice arena with bernard, he'll actually quit the practice session if you beat him badly lol

By right mouse hits you mean the heavier attacks? Are these jabs or swings?
