I feel silly for asking, but how do I instant message someone following the end of a match (I play unranked, mostly)

Probably close to the same answer, is there an easy way to send a friend request, or do I have to write their tag down?

on ps4 you have to remember there screen name since it won't come up in the ppl you played list. Now Xbox 1 it works, just look at the ppl you played from the side bar.

How do I deny a take down and end up in double under hooks? The AI always does it to me. I know L2-back I can end up in side control and L2-down is submission but how do I get double under? Thanks

Don't think I've ever seen that, you talking about sprawl?

How do I deny the back suplex? To do the move it is L2 up... to deny is it R2 up?

R2 and down. If they are going from double under hooks to your back then they have grapple advantage/ momentum advantage ( what ever it is ) into suplex so it's harder to block

Why do people spaz out and move all over the place in the thai clinch? I'm in div 6 and the div 7/8 players always move the thumbstick left and right when in the thai clinch. They seem to do it when they have the plum and even when they're in the plum. Does it give you some kind of grapple advantage or something? I don't get it... and it looks really stupid.

Are they trying the dumb fakes to make transition undeniable?

No, they're just like moving backwards and forwards and pushing. It's weird as hell but a lot of them do it and I don't understand the benefit of it.

Also, I hope in UFC 3 fakes aren't a thing as they're stupid as well. Just turns everything into a guessing game. Eventually you get to the point where people do like 5 fakes before they transition. A lot do the faking to thai and then go for a takedown or vice versa too.

I don't like that. Dude pushes you around and it costs no stamina. I think it should take a fair amount of energy to push someone around.

Big fan of EA Sports combative games so I have a general feel for the UFC 2. Was seeing if anyone that has the game for Xbox One would be down to practice with me. I also like fighting as not so popular fighters to make it more fun. My Xbox name is Kuklinskii so add me if you'd like to to teach me some things and point out my flaws. Appreciate the time!

But why do they do it?

IDK. Maybe the judges like it.

lol. I guess it's a mystery. There's definitely a purpose because it would be annoying to go out of your way doing that stuff while trying to block and transition and everything. I'm wondering if it increases the time you have to block or something.

I think (not 100% sure) it resets the ability to block a transition like a strike does.
So if I have you in MT and I think you are going to transition so I block but you don't transition i can't block your next move untill I strike you or move you.

Does that make sense?

Wow. I didn't even know throwing another strike resets your ability to block a transition. This just opened up a whole other can of worms and element of the game for me lol.

I wish these little things were easier to pick up on. I kinda hope UFC 3 has little things changed so everyone has to learn them again. It'd make for a fun experience. I'm a little worried it's gonna be basically the same game but with an updated roster and a couple new moves. I want the skills from UFC 2 to be transferable to some extent but hopefully it feels fresh. The current grappling system is good but certainly needs work. The faking thing needs to be dealt with. You get to the point where you have to use a ton of fakes to be competitive tho.
