I love throwing knees in the new MT clinch!

[8and9]

I CANNOT beat Rashad on Experienced. The fight starts with us both throwing kicks/punches but he he will take me down every time. Out of a clinch and standing up. Then it takes me FOREVER to get back up. I usually spend majority of the 1st round on my back, then he KO'd in the 2nd. Very frustrating.

Best advice I can give for clinch is to pause the game and see which motions bring you to which positions so you can better avoid the strong spots certain fighters have... and if you're not comfortable working out of the clinch, once you get in an advantageous position, click the left stick in to disengage and go back to pure stand-up.

here's what i don't get (I'll pause like you said though)

lets say I had MT plum and the opponent transitions until he has double underhooks, then I transition maybe until I have double underhooks - at this point If I'm Rua, and I do a transition, I'm pretty sure that means I will attempt a takedown. I would like to try to transition from double underhooks to the plum though. I'm also unsure if I can transition block manually from the clinch and if the reason it seems so difficult is because I'm being transition countered from the clinch?

playing on advanced I've lit some people up, but against rampage it's useless it seems - I"m not sure if he's just transition spamming or if he's countering (clinch sweep).

I'm really getting a good hold of everything else and able to win on advanced now - I still stand behind thinking it's ridiculous that you can't 1-2 though,...if that was there and the controls were as responsive as last year it would be a legendary game.

Got my *** kicked repeatedly last night after getting this demo... weirdly won my first fight as Shogun against Machida on Experienced but then didn't have any luck after that, mostly getting KTFO'd in Round 1 or 2 by Rampage/Evans and their quick strikes.

I didn't even know about the new posturing system, I noticed that LS seemed to do some new stuff, but didn't know that was actually the best way to posture, I was still trying to just minor transition like last year and kept giving up the advantageous position. Good to know about the feints too, I was just flicking LS and stepping out ofthe way, but Rashad especially was just murdering me with the feints and counters.

Definitely need some practice, they changed the game a lot. I'm gonna lab the **** out of this demo and hopefully will be in decent fighting shape by the time it releases so I don't get embarrassed by you dudes. I haven't played my 360 in about 4 months in any regular fashion...

I like the ground game a lot compared to 09. I don't see reversals being as easy to pull off as they were last year and I also see the person on bottom being able to effectively defend himself and get a standup easier than you could in 09.

Standup felt smooth to me. Question: How do you dis-engage in a clinch? I locked Rashad in one with Rampage but couldn't figure out how to let go.

Going to lab some more later as I only played twice on beginner, but so far, really like what I see.

I know what you mean about transitioning to the plumb from the clinch. I did a couple times last night, but then couldn't after that.

It's weird seeing everyone talk about how they changed a lot cause I played this after not playing 2009 for 6 months and it felt like the same game to me.

[Moshood]

HOW THE ****** do you beat Machida?

I'm on advanced and I swear this MFer blocks and ducks every punch, reverses all my transitions and eventually knocks me out. What's the best tactic against him somebody please tell me?
