This game is pretty addicting.
Since I don’t really follow the techniques of Jiu-Jitsu, Muay-Thai, etc, my ground game lacks 
I have had a ton of luck with my predicting skills. Gotta love free takedowns on scrubs that high kick all day.
Also, how do you get to mount? And what can you do from north south while you are on top?
Gotta get that strat guide mang!
I’ll be using number pad for directional notation.
Getting to mount:
-Open Guard(offense), 236 to Half Guard, 236 to Side Control, 1236 to Mount Down, 1236 to Mount
-Open Guard(offense), 1236 to Side Control, 1236 to Mount Down, 1236 to Mount
Options from North/South(offense):
-236 to Side Control
-1236 to Mount Down
-Click left stick to stand up to striking range
-Click right stick for Far Side Kimura
-Brazilian Jiujitsu Lv3 can Left Bumper/L2+Right Stick for a North/South Choke
let’s start a list of ppl who D/C also. on PS3 a guy named captainamerica72 DC’ed after I easily submitted him with Mir in Round 1. I agree Puff, I’ve been catching ppl’s high kicks into a takedown or clinch a lot. No matter how much I do that, they persist with high kick BS. I’ve realized ppl who do not understand the ground game tend to get GnP’ed a LOT
I haven’t played online yet(nothing but Career Mode so far) but from everything I’m hearing, I’m pretty sure I won’t be playing random ppl at all. I’ll be sending out some friend requests to ppl in this thread on XBL.
EDIT: Oh yeah, does character weight actually mean anything? I just saw a match where Lesnar was scooped up off the ground and slammed by Cain Velasquez. IMO the strength stat and opponent’s weight should be calculated when it comes to certain throws.
EDIT2: Do you guys play with visible stamina?
EDIT5: Nice match.

Once you make a character in the Fighter Creation mode(not career), is there a way to to get more points to add to your stats other then what you start with? My friend made a character and when he went to tweak his fighter’s stats, we both noticed he seemed to have extra points, more then my CAF.
Is this game worth it to get? Or does it just appease the people who generally like Smackdown and whatnot?
Yes, you should get it. While we all have our gripes about the game (ridiculous menus, no option to turn off autosave, etc.). It’s still a great effort by THQ and you’ll get your money’s worth. From what I’m hearing it’s nothing like Smackdown, but more like Fight Night.
UFC 98 Spoiler Warning
Did anybody see the fight last night? Man I wish they made Lyoto have some crazy karate kicks in the game and a crazy good speed. Such an ugly knockout, I cringe everytime I see it.
Whoa whoa, Smackdown? Hell no, this is absolutely nothing like that at all. I wouldn’t touch a wrestling game with a 100 yard stick, but this game is becoming one hell of an addicting fighter. I for one was not disappointed with my purchase one bit.
rubber guard is great b/c you can transition to triangle choke or guillotine from the guard.
Well i tested the demo, and it’s nothing like fight night at all.
I didn’t enjoy it one bit. Animations are choppy, it’s about the same graphical level as fight night round 3 (a ps2 game!), and the game isn’t as fast paced as i expected.
I’ll pass on this game and get fight night round 4.
I’d suggest you try the demo before eventually buying it FlyMike.
Ah ok thanks peeps.
I didnt want something where the match is over in 3 seconds(really) like a past UFC I played, nor did I want matches to last 2 1/2 hours because we throw 4 punches and get tired and have to keep pressing a button to get “un-tired” like the last Smackdown I played.
Fight Night is pretty tedious to me. I dont know whether I want to drop fresh cash on this just yet. I should probably play the demo again or send one of my friends/cousins out and let them be the fool. But stupid menus and annoyingly placed autosaves are turnoffs of mine.
We’ll see.
Oh, how is Create-a-Fighter in someone’s opinion?
We should get a SRK UFC league going on haha.
He beat the breaks off Evans…that was just down right brutal.
just got the game, having troubles with the submissions right now, I’ll get it down. And that does sound badass an srk ufc league.
I’d be down with an SRK league too :wgrin:
I second that notion. Let’s get an SRK Fight Club you know? Meet on certain nights and go at it.
I concur this statement.:hitit: In a fighting sense of course.
wow, sick idea. Getting a league going would be great
it says that depending on your fighting styles, some skills get up to a 15% bonus. ex: muay thai and wrestling +to standing kicks, clinch strikes(MT) and +to takedowns, and ground grapple(wrestling)
edit: SRK FIGHT LEAGUE!!! ill demolish all of you guys though 
I’m down for a league. Do you guys play with visible stamina?
If you get counter hit by a strong high attack from an opponent with a high strength stat and your character has a low Standing Strikes/Kicks Defense, maybe.
Stamina recovers automatically.
