    Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

    Hmm, so apparently my Dazzle Platinum can't broadcast live on Justin.tv, so I tried getting a webcam. Can someone watch this (I'll play for at least an hour) and just let me know if it's halfway decent quality? I use my PC through my TV also, so I can't watch the stream at the same time to check it out.

    I'll be using Rua and trying to submit Chuck in various ways on Advanced.

    Here we go:

      Yeah I just watched your fight. Man, I really thought you almost had him submitted at the end of the first round there. I've never seen his face so cut up either! Quality is halfway decent haha.

        Nice sub on Chuck. Too bad I'll have to beat your ***.

            Cool, glad you guys got to check it out... I think I'm gonna take the webcam back though and go another route -- I didn't know the Dazzle I got couldn't handle streaming, so that's a bummer. Maybe I'll spring for a Hava HD or something. Or find a cheap Red Dazzle, since those apparently work.

            Haha, got his *** twice with the North-South choke... I like that move a lot. I got him a lot early and then had a serious dry spell... my "shine" hand got tired I guess, I kept screwing up the rotations hah. That's what happens after 3 hours of playing I guess. I was starting to get pissed off because they came so easily at first and then I kept knocking him out by accident or he'd get out of the sub. Got some nasty MT clinch KOs to punish him for refusing to submit.

              From a guy that knows nothing about MMA and has heard of about 4 of the fighters in the game...if the game is as good as the demo (and i cant think it wont exceed it) this is a must buy.

              I cant think i have played a more organic game in a while. Every fight is totally different. I dont know anything about MMA strategy or what have the moves are but am learning. Last night i dropped Chuck with a flying knee after he left himself wide open. When the replay came up, i saw exactly WHY it happened; nothing cheesy.

              I needed a good strategy fighting game (it was going to be FNR4) but i cant imagine it'll hold up to this. There are soooo many moves and counters that it could take you weeks to klearn them.

              Hats off (based on the demo) to what could be a HUGE sleeper hit!

                I wonder how much of an effect the ratings will have on the ground game in the full version. Right now I'm totally sure Lidell is the better fighter in the demo because of his standing strikes. Once you learn the ground game, he and Rua are pretty much even. I have yet to play a human opponent who is as skilled with the ground game as I am though.

                But the CPU right now, at least in this match up, is way too easy.

                  Re: UFC 2009 Undisputed Demo Impressions

                  Yeah, that's about what it looks like when I get Rua on the ground too haha... His signature transition from half-guard gets a lot of burn from me, as do the slams. Once Rua's on his back in mount, it's SO over. Can't wait to GnP with Dan Henderson...

                  EDIT: Sweet, I found a refurb Dazzle DVC 100 on eBay for $26 with free shipping... it's a Buy It Now, so there are more in case any of you guys wanted to capture/broadcast your fights as well. I won't link to it, but just search for Dazzle DVC 100 and you'll see them. The webcam was $15 more -- screw that.

                    Check out the split decision loss I just had against Chuck. I thought I was controlling the fight on the ground, but apparently two judges didn't see it that way. I was surpised to see such a lopsided card.

                      If I'm in full guard, I like to do his slam that results in posturing all the way up. I'll usually get one punch in before Rua tries to kick me off, but since that's all he can really do, I just wait for it and reverse it and end up in side control. It's pretty simple from there.

                      I can't wait to play with a judoka because they apparently have a sweep that takes them from full guard on the bottom to side control on the top.

                      My only complaint with the ground game is with half-guard. When in half-guard, I can't use the LB strikes (hammer fists, elbows) that I could in full guard, which is odd because half-guard is a better striking position. As it is, if I want to drop elbows with Rua, I've gotta stay in full guard, and anyone can just kick you off with a major transition there. Maybe it's a balance issue, but regardless, it's kinda annoying.

                        Just ordered the Dazzle. You'll have to let me know what I need to hook it up.

                          I don't understand how it's even possible to have scores like that.

                            Well, if the third judge was Ninja Rua, he might try and help his brother win by massaging each round a point in Shogun's favor, so instead of 10-8, 10-9, 10-9 like the other judges, he had 10-9, 9-10, 9-10. Instead of 30-26, it's 28-29.
