Well I am starting to get the hang of it, obviously a lot to learn still.
My biggest frustrations other then subs, is when I work hard to get to full mount, I have like 5% success rate posturing up without the cpu kicking me off or whatever. Especially against machida and shogun. This is on expert btw.
As few others have mentioned, the clinch game is too hard for me on expert, like I can't really pull off the clinch and knee someone like I could with shogun on experienced or advanced. So I try to stay away from clinch except when they try to take me down. Although I need to try to go for the slams more often in the clinch so I will be working on that.
I didn't really like the how the sway works on it's own, but I love the counter striking. I also like catching leg kicks and then leg sweep them to take them down.
I JUST learned how to posture up yesterday night, since I've been playing all night. So I am happy for that, since It was getting bs, since I kept getting stand up as I didn't know how to posture up and gnp.
Btw, it was nice to find this forum since I've been looking to find a place to talk about the demo since the community forum is down.

here's a tip for clinch on expert. Use shogun for example. Do it to machida or rashad, not rampage because he can transition spam your block and transfer from plum defense to plum offence (as can shogun but it doesn't work against rampage). ...OK so initiate single collar tie and immediately do a minor transition to get plum and then IMMEDIATELY push away on the right stick to block transitions...I also push the left stick towards especially near the cage. wait for the mto attempt a transition and as soon as you've blocked it, immediately LB knee and then return to transition blocking again. Sometimes you can get 2 knee's off, sometimes you get taken down though too.
My problem with the clinch system is there seems to be ZERO auto-transition blocking which means positions are being switched too often and too easily (unless you're in rampage's MT clinch).
A thought on ratings: you see the action list and look at all the character's level 3 stuff. It's all big bombs and headkicks - everyone's jab's and straights are level 1...they've added an un-needed incentive to live with lb being held down. I'm kind of getting back into the game though and can win often on expert. I just don't really enjoy fighting rampage, and still strongly disagree with the change in jab's straights from last year.
