UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Chuck is way too powerful in this game. Me and my roommate have been playing this game like crazy and we're pretty evenly matched, he might have a slight advantage in skill over me. But anyway 99% of the time whoever's controlling chuck wins.

my roommate just found out if your chuck and you go into the LB clinch you can throw uppercuts that will literally knock you out in like 2 hits.

so not only is he practically unstopable during stand up, if he grabs u in a clinch 2 uppercuts and your out everytime.

Im still loving this game but damn Chuck is way too strong to be only 1 point higher rating that Rua.

Vast if you get him on his back he is not great at shaking Rua off. I been playing my cousin and i let him use Chuck since he has better stand up. All I gotta do is wait till he goes throwing bombs on me and then shoot for the big take down and quickly pass to side control. Then it is GAME OVER!!!! I can transition block from side control all day long drop some elbows and wait till he starts covering up and then jump over the top for the full mount and BOOM Chuck is DONE!!! I suggest working on the transition blocking because Rua is a monster to shake off if you know what you are doing. But you can't stand and bang with Chuck or you WILL go to sleep.

Standing up against Chuck is generally a bad idea.

Just had an awesome bout. Rua (me) mounted Chuck and rocked him. Just as I started to tee off Chuck swept me into his guard. I quickly transitioned to rubberguard and locked in a triangle for the win by sub.

I figured that out three times in a row last night.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

15 fights and i have yet to get a win via submissions are they really that hard to pull off?

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Heh, I was finally submitted for the first time last night by Rua. I still haven't submitted anyone myself. It does seem "that hard" as far as i can tell, but obviously some other dudes are having more success than I am.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Yeah, like I said, my friend who had never played the game before and got just a brief explanation of the controls from me was able to go 4-0, all KOs, because he was using Chuck and would just get lucky landing a big strike when I'd lower my hands or go for a big strike/takedown myself. If I played him again today, I'd try to take him out of the stand-up game by catching his leg or arm for the takedown/clinch and just trying my damndest to avoid getting mounted... in the mount and standing are the only times Chuck will really tag you where iit'll be a flash KO. Wasn't aware of the uppercuts from the clinch, but I'll check that out tonight.

So yeah, I think that strikers will have a general advantage just because there's no such thing as a "flash submission" -- you pretty much always have to be patient and work for any subs that you get, taking the risk of getting KO'd the entire time. IRL, fighters will make stupid mistakes and get caught for a quick sub (rare, but still), but it seems as if the stamina meter or their ratings will win out in the game and they'll just break out unless they're ready to be submitted. We'll see if they tweak that for the retail... but yeah, that is a definite worry of mine... it's cool that unskilled people have a chance, but I could see it being very unrewarding if you learn everything about the game and want to play with a BJJ fighter but keep getting killed by morons swinging for the fences every time and getting lucky.

You make an excellent point about the flash submissions. That would even things out in my mind cuz it happens not as often but it does happen.

Phobia Rua does have an advantage on the ground but its not enough imo. i've full mounted chuck with Rua playing my roommate and instantly he'd get out of it. Its way to easy to get out of a full mount. that should be practically impossible to get out of.

And there were times when i'd mount Chuck and i'd want to go to a full mount and instead I'd back out into side control. that was frustrating, im not sure what i did wrong.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Okay, two fights.

Not that anyone needs me to say it, but, yeah, this is dope as hell.

I completely suck right now, but it's not hard to see how things will be once I know what I'm doing.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

What a great game! I will be playing this non-stop until the next UFC Undisputed comes out, I can't believe how much replay value a demo with 2 fighters has. May 19 can't come soon enough..Usually I don't bother with demo's as I think they are a waste of time but this game I had to try.

My only beef is the massive amounts of punches after a guy is knocked out, while it looks cool and is a lot of fun to do, it just doesn't look good on the sport IMO.
Game of the year contender before it even has come out IMO.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

I can only win using the thai clinch and knees when I use Rua.

I countered his flying knee with a flash KO spinning backfist (elbow actually as that's what hit). I just turned it off after that since I doubt I can top that.
