Well that was a first. Rua charged at me for a take down and missed, so I threw a front kick, and smashed him in the chest and he went flying to the canvas.

I have done the same thing with the flick dodges, either up or down will make them side step and I threw a kick and nailed him in the shoulder, head are when he was shooting. The cool part is each shot seems to not be canned in any kind of way so you can connect with some of the most realistic shots I have seen. Alot more real than fight night rd 3

I forgot you could even flick dodge... damn I need to do the tutorial again.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

I have to say - I'm getting sick of Rua on Expert.

He can submit me in the 2nd round at will because my stamina goes down, yet 10 unblocked power kicks and punches to the face does nothing to him

It's a little annoying.

One thing I gotta say though timmay, I hope they fix the subs versus the computer. But against a human the subs right now are pretty perfect. Against my buddies it can be a hell of a battle on the ground. Certain fighters will be better at spinning the stick to get out (Rua), others will be better at beating their way out (Chuck)

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Yeah, I've only been able to submit Chuck a handful of times in my Expert fights, but I can still do it probably 50% of the time on Advanced (with the rest being a freak loss by Flash KO or a victory by me, normally via KO in mount). I've only submitted Rua once the whole time I've been playing the demo (partly because I never try it), and that was on Beginner via rear naked choke.

I power through Rua on Expert and end up with a KO most of the time, though he'll catch me with surprise submissions occasionally... it's more of a toss-up against Chuck on Expert, but I've been able to KO him from the top a lot recently. Very very tough to submit Chuck on Expert.. seems like you have to absolutely drain him while keeping your stamina very high to have a chance. I got him in the 1st round one time, but normally it comes much later on Expert.

However, I got my friend with submissions 3 times this weekend in early round situations because he was overly aggressive with kicks -- caught his leg, took him down, and I was in mount before you know it, signature triangle-choking my way to victory. I got him that way once, once with the armbar from mount, and once with the triangle choke from rubber guard. Since I've played the game a **** ton since I played him last (he was 4-0 last time getting a KO with Chuck every time), I was able to totally control him when I took the fight to the ground. I went 9-2 against him this time and the two losses were Flash KOs because I was standing with him to give him a fighting chance -- every time I went to the ground it was over within a few minutes unless he was saved by the bell.

It's very satisfying to know that you're better at the game than someone else and beat them convincingly -- unlike NBA 2K9 where you can easily lose to some idiot kid dunking 35 times with LeBron despite you knowing every nuance of the game. Newbies can still catch you with a big shot and win, but I was very methodical and confident -- I'd weather the shots he'd land and then just take him down and go to work.

Same thing, my cousin plays me and while he can hang with the stand up, mainly cause I let him use Chuck for the ease of use. He might get a flash KO by a lucky shot, but he gets over aggressive and I just shoot on him, take him down and just pound him out. Hell I will pound him out from his guard if I choose to do so. Transition blocking is the key, then soften them up with elbows, then they start covering their face, major transition right into full mount and call it game. If by a miracle he is able to transition and roll and I take his back I will just chock him out with a rear naked choke.

Even if he is stupid enough to take me down and I am in guard, I will throw rubber guard and submit him with a triangle.

But one of the things this game really reminds me of is APF. It is easy enough to pick up and play and have a chance to win. But has the depth that you will be learning the game for a LOOOONG time. Truly I feel one of the best sport titles in a very long time.

Last night I did a high kick feint, paused for a second and went to throw another high kick with the other leg and when I did Shogun went for the take down. Knee landed on his forehead and he dropped. One of the cooler animations I've seen.

I've also done the same thing and Shogun would fly backward and defy physics and it looked stupid, hope I don't see that animation often.

The game is sick!! However, I will purchase it later on. Gotta have Fight Night Round 4 first

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

I wish there were more knee buckling KO's.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

I'm convinced that CPU Rua on Expert is psychic.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Just had a KO in the first 3 seconds of the 2nd round. As soon as the bell rang, I ran across and hit Chuck with a flying knee for the KO. Pretty sick

[goh]

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

Today I learned how to use the side back mount. The crowd doesn't much like it though.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

I can pretty much put Chuck into submissions on advanced at will, its all about patience and transition blocking...I'm digging the balance, now I've got to get it going on expert.

Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

**** submissions lol. I just recorded a little video of myself fighting old man Chuck. Sorry about all the button tapping but you'll be alright...
