GSP is going to be the Sagat of this game, so most of the online matches, unless there’s gonna be open weight, are gonna be fought in Welterweight. I plan on maining Matt Hughes, not that I’m a fan I just like telling people that they just got “Hughes and Abused.” *cue guffaw
Actually, it comes from Boxing.
With 80 characters, I’m not surprised by the lack of moves.
I made a thread awhile ago about how fighting games need to be consolized, this is what I was talking about, fighting game developers should look at UFC 2009 and make more fighting games like it, it fits the consoles and not the arcades
Career mode, stats, create a fighter, RPG elements, realistic physics, no health bar, I can’t wait for the full game to be released, I think it’s going to be revolutionary for the fighting game genre.
Played the demo today…game is too hype. Isn’t Liddell getting canned by the UFC though? He’s been sucking lately.
Oh God, he’s back.
i love this game
How do you dash? In the demo I try pressing L3 and moving hte direction but he won’t run.
Pressing the left thumb stick and moving makes you run, to dash just do a quick flick in a direction. Dashing is great to make a strike whiff and then while the opponent is recovering hit them for a minor counter. Nothing is better than backdashing away from a superman punch and then deliver a flying knee for the KO.
has anyone pre ordered the game yet?
edit: Just to let everyone know if you pre order the game from gamestop you get 2 extra fighters.
I got KO’d by a Liddell overhand right…while holding high guard…
Hell yeah I played the demo and its hella good!! I love it…wish I have a next gen console
lol. just repeatedly fake kicks. lets have a fucking ho down in this bitch.
faking attacks standing takes no stamina but fakes in a grounded situation does?
mashfests are the worst thing in this game. its 2009… there has to be some better way of doing subs than a mashfest.
footwork is useless though. no real reason to back up diagonally, you’ll still get hit. its like they want you to back up straight.
all in all, the games fun, even if it isn’t really well done. when i play, it doesn’t even look like fighting… it looks like some dude dancing throwing out random attacks.
Yeah, the mechanics seem very unpolished to me, hopefully they will improve with future titles.
Shut up already, This and Street fighter-esque games don’t compare. When will you realize that people love 2-D fighters for what they are?
Played the game over the weekend with my brother and my little cousin. Needless to say but we have never had more fun playing a game together. It’s probably because we often watch UFC events together and even went to the recent Strikeforce event here in SJ. What makes it better is that we’re all roughly around the same skill level in the game but with vastly different styles of play.
My Brother: He loves his head kicks, rarely does body shots, and is pretty good on the ground with strong grappling play. He hates submissions.
My Cousin: Crazy striker, he rarely does combos but for some reason his shots always interrupt you. He locks you down and changes levels to throw off your blocking. He loves the superman punch and body kicks. He’ll accidentally go for submissions because he spins the stick like a monster.
Me: I do more combos than them, mixing up leg, body, and head shots. I have a good ground game too, always blocking transitions and getting my own for some good ground n’ pound.
Good thing is I have 3 other cousins that love MMA as well, so we’re gonna have some UFC family fests haha.
One of my biggest grips about the game is the right analog spinning and the button mashing to stuff/get takedowns or attempt/resist submissions. They’re both motions where you have to move your hand from its position on the controller if you want a shot at winning (i.e. using your palm to spin the joystick or using both hands to mash buttons). Also what this leads to is a lot of accidental pushes of the Guide button, which gets pretty annoying.
Lastly, in real life, the full mount usually equals death for the guy that’s on his back, but in the game, it seems to be such an easy position to reverse to a full guard.
All in all, I think it’s a great game, it’s not going to take me away from SFIV, but man is it going to be fun to fight and play as GSP. Can’t handle my riddum!
I’ll realize that when 2D fighting games sell and we get more than one good fighting game a year compared to the 10 good games other genres get a year.
This game is more a sports title than anything else.
Sales don’t mean shit, The fighting game genre is fine as is.
The ring girls look great, nice realistic boobs. Not that I stare at them or anything:looney:. How do you do Shoguns flying knee. I get it to come out by accident sometimes holding LB but Im not sure.
Shogun’s flying knee is done outside of strike range with the left bumper button/L1 and a kick. It either lands on the body or head. What, you don’t stare at them cyber boobies? I lick my TV they are so nice. I’ve tried pausing during Arianny’s but it cuts straight to the match, so don’t do what I did… Obviously Zuffa isn’t big on fan service… Boo this man.
