Official UFC Undisputed '09 Thread: They Call him Punches in Bunches

Just started playing against Rua for the first time on Expert.

Maybe I need to pratice more but I just threw up in my mouth a little bit with the excessive defending of all his takedown attempts and his great ground n pounding. It took so much work to get off of my back and I could barely stand up and fight for all of his grabbing.

I doubt we'll see ground expertise online but I can already see my vastly preferring FN4 :\.

One well timed knee to the mouth puts a quick end to that nuisance.

EDIT: Come to think of it I think my first opponent will be Bader simply so I can KO that fucker when he tries to shoot.

Dear THQ & Jakks,

If your game doesn't sell well, don't be discouraged. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be socially sensible for me to buy the game until about a month after the release date. However, you should know that I think you've made a really great game, which you owe us after you really SmackDown. I no longer feel the need to apologise. I'll buy it when I buy it.
I think the game is going to sell pretty well. With the positive word of mouth, the high-scoring reviews, and a demo that delivered, I think the game shouldn't have any trouble selling over 1 million and potentially even close to 2 million.

I feel that the UFC license will replace the WWE license as THQ's ultimate cornerstone, as the WWE games have been selling less and less over the years (which isn't surprising since the quality of the games themselves has been getting more redundant over the years as well), and the popularity of the WWE has been declining with the general public (in comparison to when THQ first acquired the WWE license).
 
The game is going to sell well. We have done quit a bit of pre orders at gamestop, and have had tons of people talking about it. Alot are put off because the previous ones sucked, but i have told everyone how awesome the demo is, and encouraged everyone to go try the demo

I've kind of been getting into MMA as of late, but still know very little about the sport (looking forward to the game, though). What is the current prominence of these fighting spectator events these days, anyway? Meaning, what does a UFC PPV sell compared to a WWE PPV or a big boxing match?

This video provides a nice overview of the 2008 buyrate numbers for UFC, WWE, and PPV boxing:

And for 2009, the UFC's buyrate numbers are up compared to 2008, while the WWE's buyrate numbers for 2009 are down so far compared to last year.

It's funny, I hadn't seen yesterdays so I watched the first couple of minutes of "strategize" and realized I've played so much of the demo that I'm not learning shit lol. Oh and Page has a badass uppercut I guess is exclusive to boxers. That's going to be useful in close encounters.

Let me find you the video with boxings signature its a fake body shot duck and a meannnnnnnnnn hook. Its amazing.


Also IGN guide is up

Dude the contrast is so awesome, someone is playing a game that's not even out yet on the first color TV monitor ever made :lol That is an awesome video, it actually looks like if timed right it would make it under a head kick and counter which would be sick, thanks for sharing. Also, it looks like they changed Kongo's torso color to white and gave it to Cro cop, he's huge!
 
Yea I laughed pretty hard that a guy is playing on a tv made 15-20 years ago. I mean you can get a serious upgrade to that for like 100 bucks :lol

leaked sponsers list?

http://mmapayout.com/2009/03/ufc-2009-undisputed-sponsor-list-revealed/

Hey Mister THQ,
do you know if the gamestop disc ( with the bonus chars )for preordered in the US is going to be the same disc given to us for perordering up in canada?

and if it isn't...I still am looking for someone to help me obtain said disc :)

As far as I know it isnt a disc its a carboard paper with a code in it similar to the Live 24 hour trials.

Still trying to decide what fighter to learn first......GSP, Brock or Penn

No need to learn Brock, just buy his custom controller that comes out the same day as the game!

With those stats Brock is bound to be the Ken and Ryu of Undisputed online.

Yea im gonna hit up ranked right away and just take people to the ground, test them really hard. Even the nubbiest player can catch you on the stand up.
 
So, what's the GAF organization/league going to be like then? Which platform are the majority getting it for, and are we going to limit to to specific weight?
 
Can someone quickly detail to to feint in this game? I've seen videos of it but I can't seem to find the lesson on the tutorial.

FYI, my mom-n-pop is expecting the game in tomorrow, so hit up your go-to sources tomorrow afternoon.
 
This just in:

Chuck loves when guys chase him.

FAKE EDIT-REAL CONTENT:

You just hit/hold block as soon as the move starts to come out. I don't know how effective it would be against players, except maybe the best of the best, but it really fucks with the CP. Example: Chuck likes to back step head kicks and counter with a superman... a lot. I feint a head kick and it makes Chuck back step, sometimes he'll back step and go right into the superman punch too. Meanwhile I've got plenty of time to counter or take him down or whatever. Just practice feinting a bit, it's definitely useful against the CP.

I was planning on using Brock if I got this game..I don't want to be THAT guy.

Well if you're not spamming LB (or L1) + punch everytime you won't be that guy. Even in Street Fighter you can tell who knows how to use Ken and who sucks balls.

Awesome, been waiting to try it. We will see how it stacks up, loved the UFC demo!

IMO the UFC demo is better, but I have yet to play it with the 360 sticks which I imagine will make a huge difference. PS3 sticks are too squishy and loose.
 
Finally got to try out the demo on Friday and have been playing it off and on. As as a middle of the road UFC fan I was amazed at how they captured the mannerisms of Chuck. Haven't seen Rua much but oh well. I need to go back through the tutorial or something because I can't get it onto the ground very easily and that's where it's the most fun for me.

The UFC demo is better, but I'm not sure how the overall games will compare. The career mode seems pretty awesome in Fight Night Round 4, plus dude I can scan my FACE in (ha) the career mode looks significantly deeper than the UFC one but we will see I suppose.

Yeah that's actually a feature I enjoy in the Tiger Woods games. It's pretty accurate too.

We need someone to step up and set it up.

might want to wait and see what the lag is like, didn't smackdown have horrible lag?

Won't be good for those of us in other countries like myself or Fusebox

Will check those out now, I think gamepro had the first online review with a 5/5 Fantastic reviews so far. The lowest being an 8.0 from game informer.

ROFL

20 second flash KO of Liddel on advanced difficulty


I had a similar experience on expert (just played on that difficulty for a laugh), Rua came straight at me with a flying knee to the head, backed up and did the same again knocking me out. :lol
