I am absolutely not a fan of the set combos. Sometimes it feels like I don't even have full control of my fighter compared to the previous EA UFC games. It's weird having to press a sequence of buttons to activate my combination and then watch the animation play out. It doesn't feel nearly as smooth as it used to in my opinion.
jaydoode15 fully agree most of the time you want to throw a logic combo that is related to real life and it just does not work because of the set combo's
Its because you are spamming the buttons.I get frustrated and I dont even count how many punches or hooks I throw.I know thats a big mistake and I need to fix it,but hey I only have the game 2-3 days so I think I ll get used to it 😃
The set combos was a really bad idea I think. I mean what is this mortal combat? I get every fighter having their own style like they do in real life, but I mean you should be able to create your own combos (which you can do but if they're not an actual fighters combo it wont be fluid). Having to memorize combos is annoying and very arcade like. They should have just done the combos like UFC 2 (minus the damage multiplyer obviously) where you could create your own combos on the fly, not have to memorize a set list for each fighter. That plus the fact that many of the moves require you to press 3 or 4 buttons at the same time.. i don't know I just think it was a bad call.
It does get confusing especialy with body kicks and hooks along with siganture moves, or fkying knees, they use the block button as an input and it just cancels it sometimes
When you say you should be able to do your own combos, could you give an example? What's a combo you want to throw that the game isn't allowing? I bet there is in fact a way to throw it, assuming it's a legitimate MMA technique. In the rare case that a fighter doesn't throw the combo you want, it's probably because it's contrary to that fighters real life striking style. So just use the fighters who do suit your style. There's a fighter that suits everyone on the game. If you know the sport of MMA, you know the styles of certain fighters, and you'll know if their style suits you in the game.
the fact that ur saying u need to memorize combos means that u don't understand the game and ull never be fluid... you DONT need to remember combos... nate diaz is a boxer, so if i know nate diaz is a boxer, I'm going to throw boxing combinations that work in real life. its not really difficult. if u try something and it doesn't come out right, just remember that it doesn't work. u don't need to sit in practice mode and memorize every combination... thats not how its supposed to be played. stop being silly
besides, nate diaz throwing crazy kicking combos and ufc 2 was stupid as fuck. limiting what the fighters can do is much more realistic and better for a realistic game
“Pulling punches” in ufc 3 is just accidental feinting strikes. It was fully intended to be added into the game to add more diversity and to make it harder to counter. When used it’s actually really effective. Easily one of my favourite game mechanic.
Another thing I noticed about stationary strikes is they're more likely to cause a health event. It seems that you get a little more power by planting your feet before you swing.
Evne Yep! I was kind of blown away when I learned how much more power you can generate when you plant and swivel your hips in with the strike. Since I learned that I've set the record on every arcade punching machine I've seen haha. When you're a heavyweight like me, those punches start entering the "dangerous" territory. My 3rd match I broke a jaw and still feel bad about it.
Evne They're all calibrated differently. I hit the one at the bar by me and it reads 999 with me not swinging as hard as possible. There's one in an arcade that I swung with everything I had and got it up into the 860's. It's not really a scientific way to measure punch power. It just makes you feel like a badass when the machine freaks out for a new record
KingBongHogger yeah, punch power doesn't really mean much to me, I'm a firm believer that a punch that lands is better than the strongest punch any day
I jumped Straight into online matches right after purchasing this game & boy I was in for a shocker. It is a completely different & technical game from UFC 2. After 6 straight losses I decided to hit the gym & master a few fighters & their combos. 😅
Nice man maybe you can start doing videos about combos that work effectively with certain characters. Like a character and their best combo. Just an idea. Keep it up bro
Matthew Reid i did notice people do that. I found counters to it. Sometimes find the range and kick them in the bpdy, or welcome them to hoom range only to uppercut them to space
I love how the combos in this game are like deep hidden secrets and the corner man just tells you good job or take your opponent down. Your corner should see openings and your opponents weaknesses and give you hints live during the fight and especially in between rounds like real life.
I usually use the 'pulling punches' to lure a reaction out of the AI (i don't play online), and it works super well for ranged boxing. Do it at a regular outside range and move back, the opponent either attempts spinning backfists or other fast strikes to counter your own strike, but miss because you didn't commit to the punch or kick, and that's great to keep your opponent open to counter-counter strikes if you will. I love fighting guys like Israel Adesanya or Leon Edwards like that, because it becomes a glorious technical strike-fest that's a lot of fun.
My problem with knowing your fighters combos is, I just can't be arsed learning the combos of every fighter I use, I'd forget which fighter to which combo, so I do try and use like universal combos I guess you'd call them.
20 Times Man United it can be pretty bad but trying mixing In a lot faints to draw out their counters and then strike, and also mix in some leg kicks as they do more damage if someone is using head movement, at the very least it'll make them not use head movement as much. Had a Yoel Romero player today who was spamming head movement leave once he realized his legs were fucked from all the spamming.
I love UFC 3, but I’ve neeeever been much of a combination guy in any game. I’ve always been more of a brawler. Just going in and throwing whatever I can. Not much for remembering combinations.
yall fucking insane, ufc 2 striking doesnt even feel like, the animations are unreal and the striking controls are weird as fuck. ufc 3 is the best mma game.
Spoony Pizzas um no hes saying your fucked in the head and cant take the time to learn the controlls and play the game properly. what do you expect to press to cancel a strike block is the quickest way and suprize you cant block in thr middle of a strike effectively just like real life and every other video game. These are probably the best controls a game like this can have so sit the fuck down and get good.
Spoony Pizzas not sure man a prefer ufc2 to this game played it for ages when it came out at least 6 months ive played ufc 3 for a month and i get bored of it so easily
Southside McConaughey His face is good enough but his body doesn't look right. Ngannou doesn't look at all like himself, imo. I don't think Lee or Garbrandt are that bad, but TJ Dillashaw also needs a fix
Dude, i literally just started to play this game, had like 8-9 matches, lost all of them gassing out every time, missing and just going crazy, getting knocked out every time, lasted 2.5 rounds max..watched this video and won the first fight trying your advice.. great work man 🤘
I just started playing had lost 4 in a row, decided to check out to see if any tips. I’ve won 6 in a row by knockout since watching your video. Thank you very much!
Every tip you have shown is everything I am struggling with haha. And that all is habits from ufc 2. Well mine any ways. Thank you for the tips Martial
Really disappointed in the movement and striking in this game. Too much delay when you enter buttons. This is a step back. Still gonna play it because of the roster improvements but kinda bummed
This helped me so much thank you!! Could you please give tips for people that throw hundreds of significant strikes. Im not talking spam. People that do it in a smart way. Head body hooks and uppercuts. Someone just did this to me with Mark hunt and lost no stamina even though hes only throwing power shots
Its called a faint. To get your op to react Pulling means extending all the way without power, boxers use this to load the 3rd of 4th punch with power and save energy
The only thing about stationary kicks are that they put you in a dangerous spot to get countered by a skilled player. It is faster like he said but timing is always key
nice video, man.. i really liked the using stationary strikes part- it helped my game a lot and now im beating all my friends because of that tip :) and almost all your videos are dope.. maybe if you could try Mirko Cro cop-he has pretty nice leg kicks from close range.. cheers from croatia
Good stuff, marital! I have a suggestion for a future video...can we see your hands on the controller side by side with the game? I m curious to see if you play the game with 2 fingers on the L and R triggers and just how relaxed your hands are when you are closing distance or getting outa the way
All I'm seeing is people complaining about the striking system, it's one of the best and most complicated striking systems there is. People be trying to play this like mortal kombat, try and have a basic understanding of the fight game first and don't expect to be amazing straight away.
I had no clue stationary striking was a thing until now which is 2 years later. I know it’s a thing in all of the fight nights because I’ve played almost everyone but I had no clue stationary striking was a thing in ufc 3. Thanks for mentioning that I had no clue.
Can you please make tutorial about how to hit with legs faster? Because many times happend to me that when i want to hit with leg is not taking command immediately, let s say i hit jab and hook and i want fast body kick with leg, and my fighter just don t land he is standing. GREAT WORK MM, BIG HELLO FROM EUROPE :)
Great video man very well put together and informative I just picked this up and its my first go at an mma game and it was a light bulb moment on a couple of the things you mentioned. Appreciate it.
Bruh.. I’ll always be landing devastating strikes like a dominant legged head head kick followed by a left then right over hand then a upper cut and I’ll land that 3 times then one little jab knocks me out.. I think it’s my stamina but idk..
Fighters don’t back out of a punch because they’re scared it’s a tactic to make the opponent guard up or suddenly drop tactic or stance to prepare themselves for an incoming kick/takedown/grapple that will never come leaving them open for another move. For example a lot of fighters shoot in for a takedown allowing the opponent to drop guard to there head ready to protect there waist but infact & then leave themselves open for there opponent to catch them with a head strike. You’ll see Lyoto & silver are some of the best at this tactic
its all about head movement, big combos after starting with a side step. alternate body and head. and ALWAYS end with a kick to the body or legs. the lunge body strike is a great first punch as well. you can cover lots of distance and they are hard to stop. the jab is also your friend. and COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER
Lol it’s very hard to do stationary strikes imo because everyone just bumrushes and I have no time to do anything, also as a player who just got the game I don’t know how I’m ever going to get as good as I did in ufc 2 since everyone is a god now
Definitely needed this. Ive been losing against the AI on normal almost every match when I use to be good at ufc 2. And by the comments Im glad I like the ufc games for the satisfaction of knocking people out instead of the controls
I play career mode off line the majority of the time. The thing I Hate most about UFC3 is that the skills are scrambled, advanced submission moves found in the kick boxing gym advance wrestling moves found amongst kickboxing and jiu Jitsu gyms. There is no organization whatsoever. It is very difficult to put together the kind o fighter you want. Injuries, training schedules and obligations outside the octagon interfere enough without having search for one specific move in a gym where it shouldn’t even be taught. I get there should be some crossover but it should be on a basic level moves should be taught at the gym designated to teach the move. To me this is the part of the game which seems to be thrown together like at the last minute.
I love this game and the selection of modes are cool and it's relatively easy to become a champ online but not so easy to defend your title witch is good and realistic in actual ufc 👍 good vid btw
Pulling punches is just a generic term for not following through on a punch, so if your intent is really to hit them and you hesitate and block that's not a feint, it's pulling a punch.
My only issues is learning a fighter's combos like it's a mortal kombat game. I feel like I should be able to do any combos I want like jab straight low kick, body hook uppercut, jab side step straight low kicks etc...
Can you please make a video about countering people that are constantly comming in on you and land a lot. This is my biggest issue yet that i can't counter these people.
when people do that to me ill try to block their shots and rotate until their stamina is decently low then throw a few jabs and the second they back off and create space throw a mean hook combo and it usually stuns them. taking advantage of aggresive players stamina is the best way to counter imo.
Kinda hard to change the point of striking, 'cause played too much time in UFC 2. But, it's also interesting and more realistic than in the previous game. But yeah, need to check all the ingame manuals and do more practice. But thanks, it seems helpful to me.
It’s not a mistake as you are saying “pulling your punches” it’s meant to be put in the game to be used to faint strikes as a tool fighters use all the time. It’s supposed to be used to throw your opponent off. The point is to cancel to keep your opponent on your toes it isn’t “not committing to your strike” as you are saying. It’s fainting a punch. Done all the time in real fights an good to see it implemented in the game as a tool
I like how it's much harder to strike and grapple in ufc3. The move you show we're slower but I believe more powerful as well. NO more fucking spammers.
Nice video.. Please bro can you do another video about the submission and fighting on the ground.. It s so complicated, i watched many videos and i really don t know maybe i miss something. Btw i have ps4
You're a great teacher of this game. Very articulate. Straight & to the point. Thank you for the work & effort you put into helping your fellow gamers. 👊🏼👏🏻👏🏻
This game is fun af once you finally figure out wtf you're doing lmao. I saw the game had three stars on Xbox Live, but it was free with EA Play, so I thought I'd give it a go. And damn... it was a nightmare trying to figure out everything. Idk why the devs didn't include actual tutorials... But yeah. Once you figure it all out; super fun.
the problem is they dont do in depth tutorials and expect ppl to know what their intentions were
Exactly, I found a button called Tutorials, but all that did was show me a video, I'd rather have a tutorial in the pratice mode while I play
They literally put out a video with every tuner explaining what they changed
@@NectarineAttack Nah cmon. It's actually a fairly complicated fighting system. They should have made a comprehensive play along tutorial
@Joey Dymarcik Sure, but for the ones that do it would have still been nice.
@Joey Dymarcik no u
It’s more realistic than 2. But from a video game stance the striking system is very frustrating.
Humble Pie agreed
Agree. It's very absurd.
Disagreed. How is it frustrating? I think it's excellent.
I agree, it can be pretty frustrating sometimes. All anyone does is spam body shots, or upppercuts
Austin Hickerson manage your distance and strictly use jabs and straights if thats the case learn your openent and try to predict body shots
0 Tony Fergusons were hurt in the making of this video tutorial
I am absolutely not a fan of the set combos. Sometimes it feels like I don't even have full control of my fighter compared to the previous EA UFC games. It's weird having to press a sequence of buttons to activate my combination and then watch the animation play out. It doesn't feel nearly as smooth as it used to in my opinion.
Makes it more skill based, in my opinion
jaydoode15 fully agree most of the time you want to throw a logic combo that is related to real life and it just does not work because of the set combo's
Luc Manders maybe those fighters don't usually throw those kombos
Luc Manders bullshit.
more like Tekken
Does anyone else have the problem that the fighter throws too many strikes and keeps throwing after you’ve stopped pressing?
Graeme Inglis I get that often.
Graeme Inglis all the time.
The game cues inputs so only put in what you want / know is safe
Jack Miller yh, I've started getting used to it now. A little street fighter with the way it works, but it's getting easier.
Its because you are spamming the buttons.I get frustrated and I dont even count how many punches or hooks I throw.I know thats a big mistake and I need to fix it,but hey I only have the game 2-3 days so I think I ll get used to it 😃

Jayelin Jordan aha
for sure if you know how to use it you can really catch your opponent
I was about to make a comment glad I didn't have to lmao
I abuse it while I’m throwing combos really good for landing question mark kicks too
Another thing I noticed about stationary strikes is they're more likely to cause a health event. It seems that you get a little more power by planting your feet before you swing.
KingBongHogger it's realistic like that. In boxing they teach you to plant your feet before swinging. It lets the kinetic chain be more solid
Evne Yep! I was kind of blown away when I learned how much more power you can generate when you plant and swivel your hips in with the strike. Since I learned that I've set the record on every arcade punching machine I've seen haha. When you're a heavyweight like me, those punches start entering the "dangerous" territory. My 3rd match I broke a jaw and still feel bad about it.
KingBongHogger yeah. I went from punching about a 600-700 on those machines to 900 plus every time with the technique.
Evne They're all calibrated differently. I hit the one at the bar by me and it reads 999 with me not swinging as hard as possible.

toribash30 He did one with Jorge Masvidal. Sure gonna come more
Matthew Reid i did notice people do that. I found counters to it. Sometimes find the range and kick them in the bpdy, or welcome them to hoom range only to uppercut them to space
YES. Do a Dominick Cruz video
Thanks for this, as I'm still learning the game this is helpful.
I love how the combos in this game are like deep hidden secrets and the corner man just tells you good job or take your opponent down. Your corner should see openings and your opponents weaknesses and give you hints live during the fight and especially in between rounds like real life.

CTTV write em down
Same with mortal kombat) write them down and choose your favorite fighter
Write them down 😆😆😆 no thanks buddy
CTTV 🤷🏽♂️
Double V I wrote many of them down and I don't even look at the paper.
Head movement is crazy on ranked. Everyone just spams head movement to try and get a counter.
20 Times Man United it can be pretty bad but trying mixing In a lot faints to draw out their counters and then strike, and also mix in some leg kicks as they do more damage if someone is using head movement, at the very least it'll make them not use head movement as much. Had a Yoel Romero player today who was spamming head movement leave once he realized his legs were fucked from all the spamming.
Leg kick the fuck out of them. Got quite some success by going for a lead leg kick and following up with 1 or 2 punches.
20 Times Man United ya and in online fight people just spam hooks and straights can’t even get the head movement
If they are just moving their head left and right throw a timed head kick or hooks it will land
Thats real fighting my friend. Go te the body or legs. Go for overhand or head kicks
Nothing worse than a hook spammer
PlayStation Player Until you run out of stamina
Yea my cousin but I learned how to fight him now I always
@Daniel Seibert yea until you sidestep into the hook
I love UFC 3, but I’ve neeeever been much of a combination guy in any game. I’ve always been more of a brawler. Just going in and throwing whatever I can. Not much for remembering combinations.
Its easy to say, but in the practice against a fighter he is in Action , its not so easy to do!
Am I the only one who preferred the striking in UFC 2?
Daragh Dalton ufc 2 striking was much better not even close
Hell no you not I love UFC 2 striking
Im still playing ufc 2. Give ufc 3 a chance but still not like it. I loved ufc 1 day one Ufc 2 day one. Ufc 3 still not like it.
I prefer 2 it is enjoyable
yall fucking insane, ufc 2 striking doesnt even feel like, the animations are unreal and the striking controls are weird as fuck. ufc 3 is the best mma game.
this video is sponsored by "That is slow. That is Faster"
Basically what you're saying is EA have fucked the controls... why is block the same as the strike feint...
Spoony Pizzas um no hes saying your fucked in the head and cant take the time to learn the controlls and play the game properly. what do you expect to press to cancel a strike block is the quickest way and suprize you cant block in thr middle of a strike effectively just like real life and every other video game. These are probably the best controls a game like this can have so sit the fuck down and get good.
You know what I thought whilst you wrote that.....What a fucking knob LMFAO
Spoony Pizzas exactly man its because you're about to countered so your initial reaction is to block
Danny Boy Yup, why though...
Spoony Pizzas not sure man a prefer ufc2 to this game played it for ages when it came out at least 6 months ive played ufc 3 for a month and i get bored of it so easily
Fighter request: Darren Till
Corey1987 They need to give him better kombos and speed. He doesn't feel right. I wish they would fix his kharacter model too
ASAPSnackz his model isn't bad. Garbrandt, ngannou, kevin lee have some horrid player models
Southside McConaughey His face is good enough but his body doesn't look right. Ngannou doesn't look at all like himself, imo. I don't think Lee or Garbrandt are that bad, but TJ Dillashaw also needs a fix
I laugh at the start at every round I hope they keep that 😂
Darren till is only good in the first round on this game!
This came up on my recommendation, and you went really in depth with this. I can’t wait for you to do this with ufc 4
The best combo is Mike Tyson ear chomp-spit. Then shove the opponents back during break.
Dude, i literally just started to play this game, had like 8-9 matches, lost all of them gassing out every time, missing and just going crazy, getting knocked out every time, lasted 2.5 rounds max..watched this video and won the first fight trying your advice.. great work man 🤘
I just started playing had lost 4 in a row, decided to check out to see if any tips. I’ve won 6 in a row by knockout since watching your video. Thank you very much!

Really disappointed in the movement and striking in this game. Too much delay when you enter buttons. This is a step back. Still gonna play it because of the roster improvements but
kinda bummed
This helped me so much thank you!! Could you please give tips for people that throw hundreds of significant strikes. Im not talking spam. People that do it in a smart way. Head body hooks and uppercuts. Someone just did this to me with Mark hunt and lost no stamina even though hes only throwing power shots
There are some front kicks if thrown too close will do a body knee. Nice when playing ultimate team, kind of adds another move without using a slot.
“Right... THERE! RIGHT THERE!! HE MOVED!!!”
Solid quote for solid tips
Its called a faint. To get your op to react Pulling means extending all the way without power, boxers use this to load the 3rd of 4th punch with power and save energy
how about constantly walking back and forth UFC 2 style not measuring distance, I keep jabbing people online 24/7 cuz they don't understand range lmao
AxaFin same bro, agree 100%
Hilarious
AxaFin it's difficult for new players because it still feels like we on skates my g 😂😂😂
You fought scrubs.
Is it still online?
the amount of ppl i been knockin out senseless using these tips is incredible really changed my stand up
The only thing about stationary kicks are that they put you in a dangerous spot to get countered by a skilled player. It is faster like he said but timing is always key
Ufc3 pride mode dlc plz
Fighter request: Jimmy Rivera
Seriously appreciate explanations. Been a rough transition from ufc 2. Would certainly appreciate the combos also
you can feint with pulling punches which is a strategic move to throw off timing or bait a counter
actually did help. i dont throw enough stationary strikes. made a bad habit of throwing moving strikes and was wondering why they were SO SLOWWWWW
nice video, man.. i really liked the using stationary strikes part- it helped my game a lot and now im beating all my friends because of that tip :) and almost all your videos are
dope.. maybe if you could try Mirko Cro cop-he has pretty nice leg kicks from close range.. cheers from croatia

CPU or online, my strikes always come slower than my opponents, even if sometimes fight stationary to get faster combos. Can anyone help?
This helped a lot especially the stationary strikes I had a band tendency to just move all the the time when striking. Thanks 👍

This was super helpful...I realized most of these after hours in the training lab but you gave a great list of things i still need to work on.
Thanks heaps for this, any chance you could work on a grappling/ground defence video for beginners? Struggled to beat Michael Chiesa in career mode 😂
Great video man very well put together and informative I just picked this up and its my first go at an mma game and it was a light bulb moment on a couple of the things you mentioned. Appreciate it.

Yes. Its your stamina
love this martial! need more helpful videos like this for this game, new game takes some getting used to
they need to have you voice the tutorials in UFC 4!!!
You always make quality videos, thanks for the tips!
You said don’t pull punches but if you pull your punches for feints it can be very effective once you learn when to do it
Plz make a video on common combos every fighter has, and every player should know.
Fighters don’t back out of a punch because they’re scared it’s a tactic to make the opponent guard up or suddenly drop tactic or stance to prepare themselves for an incoming kick/takedown/grapple that will never come leaving them open for another move. For example a lot of fighters shoot in for a takedown allowing the opponent to drop guard to there head ready to protect there waist but infact & then leave themselves open for there opponent to catch them with a head strike. You’ll see Lyoto & silver are some of the best at this tactic
its all about head movement, big combos after starting with a side step. alternate body and head. and ALWAYS end with a kick to the body or legs. the lunge body strike is a great first punch as well. you can cover lots of distance and they are hard to stop. the jab is also your friend. and COUNTER COUNTER COUNTER
Thanks, I knew some of these and some that I didn’t
Lol it’s very hard to do stationary strikes imo because everyone just bumrushes and I have no time to do anything, also as a player who just got the game I don’t know how I’m ever going to get as good as I did in ufc 2 since everyone is a god now
Very helpful. Keep up the great content my dude!
Excellent tutorial
Can’t wait until you do a video like this for UFC 4 though
Definitely needed this. Ive been losing against the AI on normal almost every match when I use to be good at ufc 2. And by the comments Im glad I like the ufc games for the satisfaction of knocking people out instead of the controls
pull your shots? its called fainting, if done perfectly you can shift peoples heads into a better place so you can set up for a more powerful strike
I play career mode off line the majority of the time. The thing I Hate most about UFC3 is that the skills are scrambled, advanced submission moves found in the kick boxing gym advance wrestling moves found amongst kickboxing and jiu Jitsu gyms. There is no organization whatsoever. It is very difficult to put together the kind o fighter you want. Injuries, training schedules and obligations outside the octagon interfere enough without having search for one specific move in a gym where it shouldn’t even be taught. I get there should be some crossover but it should be on a basic level moves should be taught at the gym designated to teach the move. To me this is the part of the game which seems to be thrown together like at the last minute.
Do vids on the best combos for certain styles like must Thai, boxing, etc. Maybe even the best combos with certain fighters also
The first one is feinting. It's used to trick your opponent and throw right after.
Great tips keep those types of tutorials coming 😊
Good video man, pulling shots was a problem I had
Thanks for the tips! I will def use this especially in career mode : )
I use the Lb kick with McGregor to close on purpose sometimes so it hits the body
So much help, thanks Henry!
Thank you so much for the hidden hints please do a video of how to parry and catch legs kicks
I love this game and the selection of modes are cool and it's relatively easy to become a champ online but not so easy to defend your title witch is good and realistic in actual ufc 👍 good vid btw
Yeah the put “pulling strikes” in the game on purpose, it’s called feinting, which can open up an opponent
Pulling punches is just a generic term for not following through on a punch, so if your intent is really to hit them and you hesitate and block that's not a feint, it's pulling a punch.
Thanks for the tips I generally dont have a lot of time to play and i want to get better so this helps alot!!! Thanks again!!!
Another awesome extremely helpful vid from u my guy! 👊🏻
My only issues is learning a fighter's combos like it's a mortal kombat game. I feel like I should be able to do any combos I want like jab straight low kick, body hook uppercut, jab side step straight low kicks etc...
thanks bro about to go into a title fight against robbie lawler in career mode
As someone who played EA UFC 1 and not 2. This striking system is excellent and fluid
Thx bro. Kinda knew some of these but very helpful
A good combo for me is jab feint, jab, rear hook (all coming forward)
i always pull my punches its a habit iv got into need to get out of it now
Ive noticed strikes moving forward doing damage. Makes sense for them to be slower
Can you please make a video about countering people that are constantly comming in on you and land a lot. This is my biggest issue yet that i can't counter these people.
stand still instead of backing up works for me because the head movement is more effective while in place
monkeycaboose thanks for the tip i will try 💪
when people do that to me ill try to block their shots and rotate until their stamina is decently low then throw a few jabs and the second they back off and create space throw a mean hook combo and it usually stuns them. taking advantage of aggresive players stamina is the best way to counter imo.
I like throwng a cross while backing then a hook to hook going forward.
That would also be called "faking a strike" not pulling a strike. It's a very effective technique to create other openings.
Kinda hard to change the point of striking, 'cause played too much time in UFC 2. But, it's also interesting and more realistic than in the previous game. But yeah, need to check all the ingame manuals and do more practice. But thanks, it seems helpful to me.
It’s not a mistake as you are saying “pulling your punches” it’s meant to be put in the game to be used to faint strikes as a tool fighters use all the time. It’s supposed to be used to throw your opponent off. The point is to cancel to keep your opponent on your toes it isn’t “not committing to your strike” as you are saying. It’s fainting a punch. Done all the time in real fights an good to see it implemented in the game as a tool
I like how it's much harder to strike and grapple in ufc3. The move you show we're slower but I believe more powerful as well.
NO more fucking spammers.
Nice video.. Please bro can you do another video about the submission and fighting on the ground.. It s so complicated, i watched many videos and i really don t know maybe i miss something. Btw i have ps4
Thanks bruh I asked about this yesterday
Thank you for making me open my eyes to the world
Bro... They're called faints and skilled fighters use them to get a reaction from their opponent.
*feint
You're a great teacher of this game. Very articulate. Straight & to the point. Thank you for the work & effort you put into helping your fellow gamers. 👊🏼👏🏻👏🏻
This game is fun af once you finally figure out wtf you're doing lmao. I saw the game had three stars on Xbox Live, but it was free with EA Play, so I thought I'd give it a go. And damn... it was a nightmare trying to figure out everything. Idk why the devs didn't include actual tutorials... But yeah. Once you figure it all out; super fun.
first thing i did was change camera to classic, and never looked back
Funnt thing is that pulling punches is a noob mistake IRL too.
