  1. Enter random crying about how only few players online win by being great players while most are just exploiding weaknesses in the game engin.

    I know the feeling. That's why I am gonna sell it.

    Curious to know, what exactly are these weaknesses?

  2. With the roster run through trophy, do you have to WIN as each character, or just complete a match as each character?

    Also am I correct in thinking that Heath Herring is the guy who got lost in the desert and died?

    I've found that the achievement has to be glitched as well. I went through the whole roster not to long ago, even making sure I used the Classic Fight guys in exhibition, no one in the game progress statistic had 0, and it still didn't unlock. Then while playing, it randomly unlocked after I had a match using Forrest Griffin a couple days later, who was like the second most used guy in my game progress, and I've used in exhibition plenty of times. So something's wrong with it.

    But to answer the question, you don't have to win, just complete the match.

  3. I know, but it's very boring. And I mean like after 15 seconds or so in the clinch, it just breaks with no ref involvement, and say after five mount-to-sit-to-mount cycles, your guy breaks out of the sitting position or something. Kinda like with American football, you get you're chances, it's up to you to make use of them.

    You could always just reverse it. Transition before your opponents able to or hold the right stick, stopping him from going back to mount before you transition out. Or catch him in a submission if you are stuck in the mount. There's quite a few ways to avoid just sitting in the same position for 20 seconds.

    I got this today and that is one big problem I am having. How do you actually reverse it? Or turn it into a submission of your own? Nothing seems to work for me. Any help would be great :)

    Holding the right stick, either right or left will prevent your opponent from doing transitions. So if you're in seated position and a guy is trying to turn you into mount, holding the stick will stop (and with most human players, if you stop them 2 or 3 times, they'll then try to punch, that's when you do your own transition and you'll turn around into an an advantageous position. If you suck at the ground game, this is the time where you should click the LS as much as you can and try to get it standing lol) As for a reversal, same thing, but you just have to flick (not hold) the right stick at the correct time.

    To catch a submission, click in the Right stick. From the mount, have to time it when they punch at you so you grab their arm for an armbar. It's helpful to brush up on the different moves in tutorial, as different styles have a few different moves. With BJJ you can do a triangle, or a jumping armbar from standing position (which catches a lot of people off guard), whereas with a wrestler you've got a few slams in your arsenal.

    So I'd suggest for people having problems just go through the 'action list' and learn the moves unique to each style. Most of the commands are the same throughout all the styles, but there are a few that are helpful.

  5. Who's everyone's favourite fighter? I ask this because I'm shocked how awesome Mir is and how much I love to play as him. The guy is just fantastic overall and in terms of total package, I think he's the best I've played with thus far.

    Also, the stamina bar is shit, we can all agree on that (N)

    Diego. By far. Guy is a beast as he's a very versatile fighter. Good standup, good submission, awesome ground and pound, good strength for the wrestling slams. So no matter how the fight goes, you're well prepared. 100% of my online fights have been with him, and I'm like 25-4. And even more then that, since I've run into about 5-6 people who quit when they lost.

  6. Not a matter of spinning it fast, if its midway through the second round your stamina is really low anyways and your more easily submitted, despite the fact that your opponent has had no offense the entire fight.

    Seriously 9 times out of 10 the fight goes like this:

    Opponent runs at you, take him down

    Assault with punches from the mount, transition to side control

    In side control, abuse opponent with punches till they start bleeding

    This goes on for usually 2 minutes until they finally manage to get you up or the round ends

    Stand up again, opponent uses the same kick or punch over and over, block it, take them down again

    More punches, opponent grabs arm for kimura, break the hold.

    More punches, opponent grabs arm for kimura, you tap out.

    Repeat for every fight.

    Its just really annoying that your opponent who has absolutely no offense the entire game can slap on a kimura cause you've burned through your stamina beating the piss out of him.

    Also annoying:

    My opponents for every fight?

    Heavyweight: Brock Lesnar

    Light Heavyweight: Anderson Silva

    Middleweight: Anderson Silva

    Welterweight: GSP

    Lightweight: BJ Penn

    Thats pretty much a guarantee. I've seen Cro Cop and Mir used once, thats it though. Hence why I'm not at all upset about my losses to Fitzy, who was Machida and Joe Lauzon, because Fitzy isn't a fucking loser.

    Oh sir, I will gladly take you out with Diego. (Y) Ha, but really GT is ZhaneStyles for anyone up for a match.

    I've been killing people as Diego, had an 11 win streak ended earlier sadly. Have done well against pretty much everyone, I think I'm like 13-3 now, but people who know how to use BJ Penn well are trouble. That damn Jiu-jitsu, Penn has this one transition reversal that will always end with him with him behind you and on top, had to waste stamina getting out of it.

    But just like real life, get caught in Diego's ground and pound, and chances are the fight isn't going much longer.

  7. this game is fucking addicting. i got it last night at midnight... stopped playing at 10am this morning. wont be surprised if i do something close to the same thing tonight.

    i am a little peeved that theres no title matches in exhibition. yes, i know they are just exhibition fights... but i would like to be able to have title changes between real fighters rather than just in career mode as a created fighter :(

    I'm not sure, as I haven't tried it yet, but doesn't the game automatically recognize 5 round matches as title matches? All the 5 round matches I've had, including the ones online end with Dana putting the belt around the winner's waist in the final cutscene. And Bruce Buffer calling it a title match.

  8. Shame too. Hopefully they get the guy to fly SOMETIME during this seasons remaining episodes. It's been two seasons or so since the super breath, and before that was 2 seasons since his last power. I'm hoping the lil snarky comment made in this weeks episode means flying is soon to come, unless it is just like Chloe and Clark always making lil references at the Superman name and whatnot but nothing ever coming of it.

    Yea, they said before the series started, two things you would never see is Clark in the outfit and Clark flying.

    Granted we saw "Kal-el" fly, but they played that off as something different.

  9. I'm so sick of GTA IV having the words and icons being cut off on the right side of the screen. When a mission is loading, I can only see half (if that) of the title, and I can barely see how much cash I have, or the weapons.

    I've fucked around with my TV and the 360 settings, setting them both to 1080i, and nothing changes. I'm starting to get pissed.

    Might be a stupid question, but do you actually have an HD cable? Either a VGA/HDMI cable, as I believe that's the only way to actually fully edit the display settings. If you're using the regular RGB component cables on an HDTV, you're not going to be able to adjust the aspect ratio, a message will even pop up telling you that if you try.

    At least that was the problem I had before I bought a VGA cable.

  10. The YouTube comments would suggest that it works on 360 too.

    I did it earlier, on 360. Try to do it closer towards the middle of the gate, so your guy goes through the hole. Don't know how much that helps but it took me a few tries earlier too, and it worked better when I was in the middle.

    Not to much out there, but you can go down to the area where you do party play mode. (Which I didn't find out until I had like 30 secs left)

  11. Well so much for the patch, it freezes every time I go to Examine Property, it freezes when I get a yellow thing with a question mark in it for up on the D-pad, and it froze trying to go to Old Town. <_<

    If you have space, install it to your hard drive and that will eliminate all freezing.

  12. Just scored my 1000th achievement, for creating a custom guitar on GH World Tour. Ellis let me know I was on 999 the other day.

    In regards to the last few posts above, he said achievement, not achievement points.

    But in following with the trend...I'm closing in on 25k! (With 811 achievements)

  13. A few remixes/acoustics of some of the songs, and a new song as well here.

    Love the America's Suitehearts remix. Both of them actually. And Patrick's voice sounds really good on the acoustic version of What a Catch.

  14. Tiffany Blews is by far my favorite after the first night of listening. May change once I hear more, but I doubt it.

    Other standouts:

    The (Shipped) Gold Standard

    20 Dollar Nosebleed

    And the 3 prereleased tracks, even though I've listened to them to death still hold up well America's Suitehearts, What a Catch, and Headfirst Slide

    I have to agree though, definitely enjoy the album, even though still, 80% of the lyrics make no damn sense and you really have to think about them. (And probably come to the wrong conclusion)

    edit- Wish some of the mixtape tracks had made it in though. Specifically Lake Effect Kid.

  15. Well we got our match done, and it looks like Utopia has been conquered. :crying:

    I thought I had the match won for a moment, had hit the boot earlier in the match, and then got him with the elbow, and then BAM out of nowhere kip up...Sweet chin music...and I'm out. HBK won.

  16. I dunno what other people think, but i really really dislike the new storyline mode, only for select players, and you have to play it in the way they give you, if you lose you have to do it again, really silly.

    And is it me but do the games seem to get easier, i'm playing in legend mode, yet i get like no competition anymore.

    Well you don't HAVE to beat on the computer. I never get complaining about the difficulty...just try not reversing everything the computer does in a match. Or try turning all the computer sliders all the way up, and yours all the way down and see how fun it is...

  17. Me and Johnny tried to do our match tonight, but had problems connecting. Whether we tried going through private invite, or finding each other in a room, we kept getting 'game session no longer available' message, so I don't know what we should try...

  18. 32. But, for most CAWs, yes. You can get away with passable and great CAWs for most people, but let's say a guy like... old school Shawn Michaels, Liger, etc. etc., guys with more complex attires and it's a challenge. I dunno if you care about that sort of stuff, though.

    Speaking of CAWs, weeeee.

    Seeing the first pic in thumbnail form, I thought that was supposed to be Jimmy Jacobs at first glance.

  19. Only CAW I've created so far is myself. I don't feel like having to take all my CAWs through career mode just to make them any sort of threat to the regular roster. I likely won't create any until the planned patch comes out that just lets you assign attribute points as you see fit provided you've completed the career mode once. Hopefully it'll allow you to assign abilities as well, as I can't stand having to spend ages battering people with weapons just to get the Object ability, or leaping off the turnbuckle to get Outside Dives, while making sure I don't fight anyone with Possum Pin, in case I accidentaly unlock that for my CAW. Hopefully this patch will be released around Christmas with the DLC.

    Plus, I don't want to create any WWE guys like I usually do, as they'll likely just be available as DLC at some point in the future.

    It seriously irritates me that they took out the standing Sweet Chin Music. I've rejigged HBK's moveset, but he still can't hit his finisher out of nowhere, which is sort of the point of the SCM anyway. I mean, at least you can alter Orton's moveset to get the regular RKO if you want it, but no such luck for HBK.

    Just give him Karate Kick 1.

    Which is a SCM he's had in the previous games, it's a running move I believe. Just set it as a signature if that's a problem.

  20. EWBetter than U-topia? (Y)

    But no really, just finished my match with Joe and MVP came out on top. Synapsis? Well it ended up outside pretty quickly at the beginning of the match, where MVP used the barricade, and then attempted to use the steps (But that was reversed). A couple back and forth moves in the ring, but I was able to get a finisher and signature. Hit the player's boot, then MVP's ballin elbow...of course that didn't put HHH out. Finished it with the standing player's boot in the ring a lil bit after.

    Twas a good match, I got the hang of the reversals way too late in the match. MVP was getting a ton of them and it costs me. Pretty good match though. First time I didn't play with a total cheeser.

    Yea, I'm usually not that good at reversing online, but there was minimal lag in that match. Took a few tries to get started, but once it did, it ran like I was playing solo on my console and so the reversal timing wasn't screwed up, which as you noted worked in my favor.
