lmao I know right. Some of my favorite replies are: "Just because you can't hit me doesn't mean I'm running. Mash less buttons junior." Or "Dang, bro. How bad are you if you're getting knocked out by somebody running away?" Or my personal favorite "Yep. You looked pretty dumb chasing me and even dumber asleep on the floor.
You can’t hook off anymore which is the main problem for countering pressure fighters. You use to be able to they would throw there 5-6 strike in a row and counter it with a hook because of the stamina advantage. They basically would just spam and would get rocked with 2 hooks. This game however requires you to actually move your head and use creative shots; which may be annoying but is better for fluid and realistic gameplay
who is anyone I’m not sure how realistic it is for them to throw 2-3 5-6 strike combos in a row only landing half of them and they eat 2 - 3 counters each time. Like how many shots can they eat with low stamina ? It’s nuts. You can rock and drop a guy 10 times n not finish them
I love going for those sharp body strikes after they have already taxed their stamina and the clinch knee attacks I love as well. My favorite fighters are slowly but surely becoming the ju ji jitsu specialists.
Ricky long time viewer , if you have an Xbox we have to run a game (currently on a 92 win streak in quick ranked), one thing I wanted to add is too throw knees when people are pressuring in as well as the jab to the straight kick to the body. The reason I emphasize knees is it is an easy way to do significant damage to the body and assist them in losing in stamina and pressure fighters find themselves close and in range.
I feel like they could have just added sway and hook checks to the ground game , rather then take options away. It kind feels like they just took options away from the Postured up position for both fighters, then added hook checks and sways, and called it a new GnP system. It flowed so much better when you could transition freely from the bottom. Grab your opponents head pull him down when you wanted. Transition to half guard, Buck your opponent out of postured up to just full Mount.
@@gavinhaynes9700 its realistic if you can at least attempt it tho, right? the ground game is def not more realistic than 3 was, same with clinch. They literally took steps backwards, and made it even harder to get up or counter if your fighting against guys that just lay in your guard and rabbit punch you. It always took skill but if you were equal in ground skills at least with ur opponent, you could figure something out on 3. On this one u just gotta lay there, and when your on the bottom you cant properly fake a transition 75% of the time, even the quickest flick registers as a full transition attempt on the ground. And its insane you can just attempt sub after sub
This is the first UFC that I will really get into online fights hopefully. I was never much one in earlier games but I'm really looking forward to trying it out at least. Thanks for the help Ricky!
I hate the clinch cheese in this game. Everyone immediately goes to the clinch when they’re getting pressured or in trouble n it always drains your stamina more than theirs its BS.
Im a pressure fighter but not what you think. I throw a good amount a few combos then let them come after me then most likely stun/drop them because they’re trying to get me back then that’s how I get a lot of wins in ranked
If your backed up against the cage you can circle out by blasting 1-2s. I think this is a game flaw but it works like every time and you end up with your opponents back towards the cage
I love the pull counter. Nothing I can think of counters it. You’re out of range they can’t touch you and as they come in with their shot you click them clean
Just a note brotha, Hughes did slam Newton also whilst he was in a standing triangle choke. He slammed him as he went out but got the ko and not a no contest!
I like to go to the body when fighting pressure fighters because they kind of just walk into shots and you can easily drain them by picking at their body
might be better to keep the speed of the ground and pound top attacks but make the blocking a one hold button function. so your dont have to shift left and right. Also allow the fighter on the bottom to strike back. Slowing the attacks down may make them feel too unrealistic again.
Is there a way to make sure your liver hook is working? Every now and then my bodyshots randomly become a takedown attempt. They are the same button combo, so what am I missing here?? someone help me out pls
The spin body kick and the side body kick are good for managing distance against pressure fighters don’t spam them tho I’ve missed a few times and payed for it
Yo Ricky, love the videos. Two quick questions on the ground game. 1 how do you just stand up from any top position? I've had a few people able to freely stand up and are not acceptable to denials. I can't figure it out. Usually I posture up then stand up. 2 if you are postured up throwing punched how do you transition to a new position without being broke down first?
you have to hold rb and then you can only do it sometimes because the option only pops up sometimes, and no one knows what determines whether it will let you or not. So much lil garbage like that in this game
I beat a div. 17 player earlier and im only in div 6. He dominated me but he got greedy and jumped on me after a knock down and i took him right away in the armbar😂🤣💪🏽 just need to keep calm even when it seems you gonna loose the fight. It's over once the ref calls not before 😁💪🏽
All three the higher the skill the faster you will gain progress of the submission or escape low health and stamina makes it harder to escape or finish the opponent
I think they get caught up in this "we have to have something new to announce for the game, so the advertising looks good." But don't really think about the players that have dedicated their time and already love the game.
@@RickyJSports they need to revert to the old system with a little of the new system mixed in when it comes to the ground and pound with grapple advantage meter. Not to mention it being so over powered so many times I've beaten someone for the whole fight to get taken down postured up and tko'd from clunky ass ground n pound.
Are you sure i'm awesome, Ricky? Cause i rarely win online, and when I do, it's usually against someone's kid sister or even one time this guy let his blind dog take me on for the rematch, and i barely won the decision :/ I didn't agree with the decision either tbh :/ Dog kinda got robbed by the blind judges. Is that irony? 🤔🤔 I don't even know fml :/
Really disappointed in UFC 4… like wtf?! You had how many years from UFC 3 and the game is worse all around. Even the graphics are worse IMO. I can see if it was an every year game like Madden but EA dropped the ball on this. It plays like a beta
I agree Greg. It's a step down from ufc 3 and you can't really so much in the game other than ranked. Oh well. Maybe in a year we will see a better product
@@RickyJSports I just turned level 4 online… I’ve won a few fights and understand there is a huge learning curve. I almost don’t feel this game is worth putting the time in. I wish I wouldn’t have sold UFC 3… would love to play that now.
The best part of pressure fighters is when they message me after saying “all you do is run”
Lol classic

Steve Regal they can even throw shot even without stamina lmao but at the end it's bad stamina management and you can caught them round 3
@@steveregal6321 not since the patch it is one to two now. At most 3-4
@Mixedhero facts.
Been waiting for this thx man I always have trouble with pressure fighters
Yeah especially when theyre max holloway spamming and losing zero stamina
That countdown at the START of the video with the upcoming tips is something I've wanted on so, SO many videos on TH-cam. Love it!
I love going for those sharp body strikes after they have already taxed their stamina and the clinch knee attacks I love as well. My favorite fighters are slowly but surely becoming the ju ji jitsu specialists.
Yo... That side step opened up my game so much! Its like I went from amature to pro with the flick of a stock ;) Thanky Ricky J, great tips 👍
Thx man. I appreciate your message
Honestly this was the most supportive helpful video for ufc4
thanks man my pleasure now go get em champ!!

@@RickyJSports Thank you sir
Grabbing someones head and pulling it down whenever u want isnt realistic tho , more balanced now i feel

You can also shoot for a double leg TD and hit block as soon as you grab them and either come up top with punches or go for a takedown.

How is your career going?
Helpful vids man. Like your positive energy/vibe!

all you can do is when you see a guy pull, you immediately pull as well
Pressure fighters who spam clinch though......... I just get off the game
Lol
Just deny the clinch, move your head. Counter.
@@HonzaZalabak how do you deny the clinch?
@@Eric-mb1do head movement or footwork
@Mixedhero no. I just dont find problem with clinches. I have different issues with the game
Just a note brotha, Hughes did slam Newton also whilst he was in a standing triangle choke. He slammed him as he went out but got the ko and not a no contest!
I can’t do this shit. People can just throw punch after punch without losing stamina. I can’t get a chance to do anything.

might be better to keep the speed of the ground and pound top attacks but make the blocking a one hold button function. so your dont have to shift left and right. Also allow the fighter on the bottom to strike back.
Slowing the attacks down may make them feel too unrealistic again.
One of the videos I've been looking for is how to deal with high level counter punchers. I always get smashed by them.
Best way beat a good counter puncher is take them down and gnp
Is there a way to make sure your liver hook is working? Every now and then my bodyshots randomly become a takedown attempt. They are the same button combo, so what am I missing here?? someone help me out pls
Tap for body hook, hold for takedown
@@gavinhaynes9700 thanks dog. I figured that I just wasn't used to tapping and always held the buttons down routinely.
U can also do different strikes holding it rather than tapping in certain button combinations
thanks for these tips n pointers!!!
Cant circle away in the 3rd rd
Great Videos Dude,right on!!!
We need elbows and hammerfistin postures up guard
Watching these kinds of videos is so weird for me because I feel like I'm pretty good because I rarely lose on hard but like, I'm actually garbage
Awesome explanations Ricky J. You’re always fun to watch.
I was sold at the countdown entrance haha
I love u man thx!!
Slow motion replays are gold!
Thx randy ooooooh yeah!
Yessss I need this people who cos tbh combo me without letting me counter kill me all the time.
These tips turned me into the pressure fighter
Im a pressure fighter but i dont got ufc 4 yet wonder how it changed i will be the same there too😉
how do you dump people when you catch their leg?
The spin body kick and the side body kick are good for managing distance against pressure fighters don’t spam them tho I’ve missed a few times and payed for it
yea the side kicks are just too risk imo, they miss too much. Front kicks def safer
What's lead uppercut command on xbox for pushing strategy?
Love the slow mo

question. Why do ppl spam l1 constantly while on the ground? whats the benefit?
Idk
Ricky what about the guy who clinches the whole game so hard to stop that
Like how you got right into the video
How is the size of the mini-game submission bar generated? (stamina, health, skill?)
All three the higher the skill the faster you will gain progress of the submission or escape low health and stamina makes it harder to escape or finish the opponent
When they do a roundhouse liver kick + jabs and straights combos with Volk or Max is so infuriating
First time watching and your intro is FUCKING SICK
Wow thx Zoink. Don't think this is weird but I love you brother
So basicly it's panic wrestle and abuse the broken cheesey submissions? Lol this game blows. Ufc 3 👌
I think they get caught up in this "we have to have something new to announce for the game, so the advertising looks good." But don't really think about the players that have dedicated their time and already love the game.
How do I get that body lock takedown animation?
I hold l2 and l1 and triangle or square
They need to patch this again asap. The posted up ground and pound is so cheesy and so is the clinch.
I agree 100%
Such a blatant spam, I can't believe EA are so dumb as to let this slip through the net
Let’s get ricky big enough to quit his day job
Lol this will always be just a hobby. Once you do this for money it isnt fun anymore. You get what I am saying?
Ricky J Sports i can already tell this man has a well paying job u seem like the type of guy that did extremely well in school and got a good job
@@ykh7450 thanks brother i appreciate that.. i have two degrees! this is just a hobby that allows me to talk non-sense on the mic lol
hey man do you practice any MMA, always wondered this
I am a blue stripe in taekwondo and I wrestled in high school. Mixed in with some street fights lol
Hey pressure fighters just expect this and you'll still be able to pressure them lol
So Ricky how’s the gameplay been with bugs, glitches etc?
My biggest concern is the gp and the clinch
@@RickyJSports they need to revert to the old system with a little of the new system mixed in when it comes to the ground and pound with grapple advantage meter.

Man the biggest problem in this game is when mfs spam shit regardless of what it is and the game lags and you cant do shit about it.
I agree the spam is bad
Any Xbox Tournaments?
Cardio is endless
They need to fix kicking in ufc4
Zhang and Rose have the same body type in this game
they need to update Rose and make her slimmer, her arms are too muscular
i agree that would be great if they did man
So basically just mix up the game
Can you do the Teen Wolf???
Sure lol soon
If someone clinchs you for real its going to tax your stamina, thats how u grind thm down n make thm wilt
7:30 😂😂😂
Subs are op 😩
mah rick you can only do 5 rounds when youre like division 16 and up
oh really? thats good to know thanks for the heads up
