sorry if this is a noob question but could someone explain or link me to an explanation about which position is which? like half-guard and open-guard, and north-south, etc.?

I really love the demo but I don't really know what I'm doing on the ground.

thanks.

As far as the game is concerned, the best way I've found is to pause when you're in an unfamiliar position and go into the action list. Sometimes it won't be updated immediately, but if you've been in a given position for 1-2 seconds, it should show that position's moves. Anyway, the 2nd row (I think) shows the name of position that you're in and then you move the LS to cycle between strikes, transitions, submissions, taunts, etc.

That's how I learned the ones that I wasn't familiar with, since I'm not a huge MMA fan who already knows all this stuff.

I'll try that. thanks.

Open guard = a person on top of you in between your legs and your legs are spread apart

Closed guard = a person on top of you in between your legs and your legs are wrapped around them closed.

Half guard = the same as above, only thing is you only got your legs wrapped around one of their legs.

That's the one area I hope they adjust slightly for the retail -- seems like there's no way to submit someone unless their stamina is shot, and even then, it's tough. I wish they accounted for the "surprise factor" of submissions -- like if you nail someone with a flying armbar out of nowhere, that should be harder to break than the obvious rear naked choke when you have their back, etc... submissions that come out of counters should be very tough to break.

Been tapping out Chuck on advanced consistently in the 1st round by just letting him wear himself out from trying to get me off him on the ground

Whenever I try to stay on top (even while keeping busy) the referee stands us up. I'm on beginner, not sure if that matters.

[Gotmadskillzson]

Yeah get off beginner. Totally different game and much better game on higher level.

What is the best way to set up the Thai clinch? I can't seem to get it going even when Liddell is covering up.
