Matt Hughes has it.
I suppose anyone with high Wrestling mastery has potential to execute this move. However, it's not a basic takedown. I hit this move by accident. There could be a lot of things needing to go right in order for this happen.

I stand corrected. Matt Hughes has the move in the takedown section, not as part of wrestling package section.
From my testing, at the very least, the opponent needs to have very low stamina when you initiate the move. It is also a power takedown which is easier to counter. I believe the penalty for this one is a sprawl bottom.

Note there may be one more requirement on the opponent side. When testing, the opponent didn't attempt to block the takedown at all.

Tim Means body type is all wrong. Hes extremely lanky in real life. I tried using him. Feels so slow. I just starting playing tonite. But the game doesn't feel near as bad as some streams made it look. U can keep a realistic pace if you want. I definitely see an improvement in AI behaviour. Lombard was frickin ridiculous to fight on the harder setting.

How are you fighting A.I. opponents OTHER than the ghost Created Fighters in Ultimate Team? You can actually do one on one matches with A.I. controlled real world roster fighters? In the mean time I'll check, as its probably something simple that I'm overlooking.

I believe it's timing-based/contextual. I was able to do this now 3 times with Matt in the last 10 mins just spamming the power singles/doubles and experimenting with the results in practice mode. Twice when the AI missed with a high kick and I timed my power takedown just right (foot at the peak of the kick), I did the power single to full mount. Then once when the AI missed with a hook and again I timed it right, I did the double to full mount. Now I'm not sure if those were just regular high kicks and hooks that the AI missed with, or maybe they were modified strikes and when countered properly we get the takedowns to mount? Would be easier to experiment with if I had a 2nd controller, but I don't.

Maybe GPD or aholbert can chime in. Also to note, the AI didn't have any damage and was at near full stamina still at this point. (although having low stamina would of course make it harder for him to defend/deny the takedown)

Stamina plays a role but its more timing and context. With that said, you shouldnt be able to initiate this move at the higher levels.

I love online gaming.

So I was fighting this guy with Rick Story and he was using Neil Magny. He was using Magny's length pretty well so I decided to take it to the ground. I'm just hanging in half guard and side control and just lay and praying on the guy. I have top control for 3 minutes of each round.

He isnt on his mic but with about 10 seconds left in the third, he gets frustrated and says "Yo you a bitch *****". LOL. I just laughed. This is the third time in 2 days I've been called a bitch for controlling people on the ground.

I wouldn't mind if the clinch defense was given maybe a fraction of second longer to be executed. I admit that maybe I just suck but it seems a little easy to get people in the clinch in my very humble opinion

I'm having a really hard time with parrying strikes. Anyone have any tips they are willing to share?

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Beta Available, Post Your Impressions Here

How do you defend the spammed knees in the clinch? You can't transition quickly enough and I hold either the right number or trigger and it won't block. Suggestions?

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Beta Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Getting some ground practice in against Aholbert and a buddy of mine online has been very helpful. I was able to hold a guy down for a whole round. .

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Beta Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Just won a spilt decision against another Lawler. He was bombing away, but I was judicious about when I threw strikes. I landed 101/186 to his 119/324. He had one round where he was on top a lot, but didn't really hit me with ****, so I'm glad the judges didn't reward that. Baby Jay does it again!

I deleted UFC 1 off the hard drive when I woke up. Had to give it it's proper burial.

You gotta block it once, then transition right away, the transition circle things fills up a lot quicker after a block.

Also you block knees to the head with R2 for some reason.

I don't have the beta, but after checking out the ea forums, a lot of people were having the same issue. From the sounds of it people were mistaken on which button to push to block when in the clinch.
