Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Yeah, the transition defense is key on the ground... I went through the tutorials and that helped me a lot with that. I can keep Chuck on the ground most of the time, but he'll sometimes get full mount position and nail me with a single hammerfist and I'm done... I gotta get better at noticing when he's trying to transition.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Maybe.

I suck at the ground right now. I get get into decent positions to get some damage, but he gets up really easily. Everytime he tries to kick me off or reverse he does it successfully, so I don't get much done on the ground.

Once you hit the ground do what i mentioned a few posts up (post 262) about blocking transitions. It is really easy once you learn what you doing. The first 2 days with the game Chuck would kick me off like i was a 7 year old. Not at all anymore. I can keep him on the mat all 3 rounds if I choose to. For the most part atleast, he still can get up. But i make it extremely hard for him.

Well sweeps are done when YOU are trying to pass. Another words if you are trying to pass and he (the cpu) does the perfect "flick the right stick" it will sweep into a dominate position. I think minor transitions have a lower chance of getting sweeped if I am not mistaken. But yea I figure out ground defense and it truly is not hard, you just can't be hammering away, trying to pass, trying to block all at once. You have to pick your posion.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Yeah, I've been trying so very hard to submit Chuck, so I'm probably trying to transition too often. I need to go through the tutorials again tonight, as I'm forgetting about some of the things I learned such as the sweeps and the throws from clinch.

For those who have beaten the CPU via submission (either Chuck or Shogun), what difficulty was it on? I could probably go own someone on easy, but at the higher levels, it just seems impossible to submit them.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

I really need to focus on my ground game. I've managed to get a few wins on advanced, but being able to control my opponent when I bring him down would definitely make things a bit easier. It's like I work for the takedown and the cpu either gets right back up or reverses it right away.

Experienced and it was difficult.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Okay, I'll try on that level and see what I can do. It seems all but impossible on advanced. I've been so close plenty of times with leg locks, but Chuck fights his way out.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Finally beat chuck twice in a row with Rua on advanced (second hardest level?). Took a lot of clinching and taking him to the ground in the first rounds. Then I would get him in the clinch and hit him with knees to the head and He would finally get rocked. Then i just stand over him and beat the crap out him for the TKO.

Fun game, I have noticed that trying to submit chuck is a bad idea, whenever I do he seems to reverse it right into full mount and its over at that point.

Same here. I got a damn mini blister on my thumb from getting Chuck to tap in the triangle lol

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

So would you say that the key was beating him up really well first, or hitting the buttons fast? I tried submitting him midway through the 3rd after beating his face to a pulp, working leg and body kicks, etc. and he still escaped. I've been frantically mashing all of the face buttons to set the submissions -- does the RS work better or something?

I tend to rotate the stick, but I'm not sure if either is better/more efficient.

When I'm on top of Chuck, I tend to throw a couple kidney shots or blows to his face before making a transition. It sets you up nice because he'll usually begin to block and that opens up the opportuity for a transition.

Another thing I like to do with Rua is the standing Muay Thai clinch and use the whip to throw some knees to his face...its actuall pretty effective. I'm still trying to figure out if I can do a takedown with Rua from this position because it states something about non wrestlers not being a ble to do throws or brute throws or something...man, this game is deep.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

I just preordered yesterday and got the demo, pretty fun with the short time I had with it. I only played 3 matches, but I could never get it to go to the ground, I also didn't pay attention to the controls and was just punching and kicking.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

How do you do the whip from the Muay Thai clinch again? I kept trying to do that last night but it wasn't working... I think I forgot or got confused on the command... lots of them are very similar.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

You have to hold the LB and flick the RS towards the opponent. From there you can press the RS up, down, left, or right and press the kick button at the same time to throw a wicked knee.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Ahhh, thanks... I thought it was RS but it didn't seem to be doing anything. Probably a timing issue.
