  1. Empire: Total War

    Do you recommend I pick this game up now or wait for Napolean to come out? I have Medieval 2: Total War which is great because of the calvary and knights etc, and I imagine the battles in this game would be very boring just lining up and shooting each other, so do the battles become boring?

  2. Dawn of MMA Data

    I'm in 1997 already with this. I had one regen named Greg Johnson come in that went 8-0 beating Bas Rutten, Royce Gracie etc on the way there winning the superfight title. He was awesome. So I turned off regeneration and I will probably put it back on in about 2002. Johnson retired after his first loss, a KO against Rutten in the first round. Rutten is a beast. I'm renaming Greg Jackson's Gym to Greg Johnsons Gym in honour of 'The fan-dabi-dozi One'

    This data is immense(Y)

  5. The Milleniverse *WIP*

    This database will be set in January 2000

    Vale tudo, a popular sport in Brazil, is not unlike UFC. Two fighters enter a ring and fight until one quits or is knocked out, sound familiar? Here though, anything goes.

    A vale tudo practitioner, Rorion Gracie immigrated to the USA in the early 1990 to introduce vale tudo to a new market. He met with many boxing promoters and rich men associated with combat sports, but in the end struck a deal with a Las Vegas gym owner named Dana White. White was interested in the idea of fighters from different disciplines and styles fighting at the same time, and put money into the company he said will be ‘the next big sport...this will be bigger than boxing and wrestling combined.’

    Maybe White’s prediction would come true. On 15th November 1993, 8 fighters agreed to fight for the prize of $5,000. These men were not even clear on the rules. ‘The Ultimate Fighting Championship’ was broadcast on Pay-Per-View, White, Gracie and a few other investors looked to make a mint from the event.

    In the first preliminary fight between Karate fighter Gerard Gordeau and Sumo wrestler Teila Tuli, Tuli attempted to use his size advantage to take Gordeau to the ground. Gerard countered the attempt with a knee strike to the face, then a sharp right hand to the temple. Tuli was out cold, but the referee failed to jump in as Gordeau stomped on his head, crushing his skull.

    The event was called off as Tuli was taken to hospital. The fight had given him severe brain damage, and almost killed him. Tuli sued the UFC for an undisclosed fee after not being aware of the rules or how things were going down. He never signed an official contract to fight. It was then ruled that fighting like this would be illegal throughout the USA.

    In 1997, former Greco-Roman wrestler Jeff Blatnick started an official governing body for a sport he named ‘Mixed Martial Arts.’ He developed the unified rules of MMA, which said there could be no ground stomps, no groin strikes or manipulation of pressure points. The courts ruled Blatnick’s sport was legal, and MMA promotions could be ran only if governed by Blatnick’s GAMMA (Governing Association of Mixed Martial Arts).

    Pride FC opened in Japan in October 1997, a month before MMA was legalised in the USA and MMA became governed by GAMMA. The promotion didn’t use GAMMA’s rules and instead decided to stick to some more relaxed rules. It is made up of Japanese fighters, with some older fighters from other countries like Royce Gracie and Randy Couture.

    The WWF, a professional wrestling promotion owned by Vince McMahon was at war with WCW all throughout the 90s. In 1998, the WWF were losing big time, and looked to be bought out by WCW unless funding could be found. McMahon managed to get close friend Donald Trump to join him. They started a new promotion named ‘Noro Worldwide’ that owned WWF. The WWF then started to rise slowly in popularity until mid 1999 when they were firmly in front of WCW. By the time they won the ‘Monday Night Wars’ in October 99, McMahon and Trump were looking to expand their enterprise. The rising popularity of Pride in Japan meant that MMA fans in the USA were begging for a big time MMA promotion. By the end of October, Noro WW had struck a deal with Dana White to bring back to the UFC, with White as president, using GAMMA’s unified rules of MMA.

    UFC signed many great fighters and held an 8 man heavyweight tournament to crown a heavyweight champion. 22 year old Josh Barnett won the tournament, beating Croatian kick boxer Mirko Cro Cop in the finals. A light-heavyweight tournament is scheduled to come in January, with popular Pride FC fighter Chuck Liddell signing on for the tournament.

    A Hawaiian promotion named ICON Sport expanded from boxing to MMA in the millennium. No fighters have been signed, and the company are still looking for backers, but it is a good sign that MMA is gaining popularity.

    More will be written for the backstories of Pride, and the full results of UFC 2: The Comeback, but at the moment it's all a work in progress and I can change anything that's unrealistic or unpopular with you guys. I am editing the TapOrSnap database for this, and I have started work but not done much yet. I expect I will have a most of it done in a fortnight from now. Anyone who wants to help me out with stats would be greatly appreciated. Thoughts? (Y)

  10. UFC Fantasy League

    For starters, the point system is if nothing else easy to follow and depending on how many people sign up for this, the number of fighters on each team will be determined forthwith. There are only two things I'm asking for if you sign up: create a collective team name and team color that'll be easy to identify and differentiate from everyone else.

    With that said, rules for the league are as follows:

    - You are given a total of five transactions for the remainder of the year (meaning a trade with another person will amount to one transaction, adding/dropping a fighter will amount as another, etc.).

    - Draft order will be based on whomever signs up first, second, third, etc. (since I have intentions on taking part in this, I'll be an elixir and wait a few turns).

    - Number of fighters per team will be cinched on how many people sign up.

    - This is solely a UFC fantasy league, not a microcosm of Zuffa or any other headway and/or fringe MMA organizations such as Strikeforce, Affliction, Dream, Sengoku, BFC, MFC, etc.

    - Those who sign up are required to pick a team name and color to differentiate entities.

    - A thread for every UFC card (PPV, Fight Night or TUF Finale) will be created.

    - An official standings and leaderboard thread will be established - along with said transactions (trades, adding/dropping fighters, etc.) will be posted in the draft thread.

    - Sign ups will be void after five days.

    - In the official draft thread, you are given a maximum of 12 hours to make your pick. Anyone that exceeds that time will pass up their selection onto the next user drafting.

    Point System

    If your fighter competes on a card: +1 Point

    If your fighter competes in a title fight: +3 Points

    If your fighter wins in a title fight: +5 Points

    If your fighter wins by (T)KO or submission: +4 Points

    If your fighter wins by any form of decision: +2 Points

    If your fighter finishes their fight in the first round: +4 Points

    If your fighter finishes their fight in the second round: +3 Points

    If your fighter finishes their fight in the third round: +2 Points

    If your fighter finishes their fight in the fourth round: +2 Points

    If your fighter finishes their fight in the fifth round: +2 Points

    If your fighter loses: -3 Points

    I shamlessly just stole that idea from somewhere, I can't remember where I'm tired. So, who's in?

    I don't know what just happened, but somehow I beat burnsy08 by mounting him.... :mellow:

    Punches without reply?

    Didn't even punch him, just mounted him and it cut to the celebration. I figured it was a connection error so we are trying again.

  24. UFC 2009: Undisputed

    in Coin Op Arcade

    OK, I've tried the entry level wrestling camp twice and the same thing happens each time. After a takedown, I try and get back up and get blocked. We roll over so he's on top of me (!). I try and transition out, but get blocked and we end up with him basically sat behind me, but holding me to stop me getting up. We then roll back and repeat OVER AND OVER and waste the five minutes doing that.

    Is their a way I can stop him doing that when I try and transition out, and/or how do I get out of the seated position?

    I suck at the wrestling camp even more than the Kick-Boxing camp.

    Though I did FINALLY get my first submission, after one and a half rounds of ONLY punching Drew McFedries in the chest and kicking his legs he finally tapped to my fourth/fifth submission attempt, with me playing as Anderson Silva. I do find it curious that I've been tapped inside a minute before with minimal targetting of the chest and limbs, and no previous submission attempts and yet this took 3/4 attempts. but heh, I finally got a Submission!

    Submissions have almost nothing to do with limb damage. The reason you get submitted fast is because you use up your stamina fast. Don't use too many head kicks/superman punches as these drain stamina fast.
