[@RickyJSports]

Incredible video. The amount of detail you put into these tutorials are mind blowing. Can't wait to learn and get better. Thanks Champ!

Thank you! If you could share it to your community wall audience as well, that'd be appreciated!

Ufc4 I'm legit happy for the man thT he got a ton and I mean A TON OF fresh ufc5 co ntent he finna be cooking up! Romey rome for president and Ricky j for vice president! Rome and Ricky era😅 double RR baby! No homo

[@Stoic-Waziri]

Guys you can just do the EA subscription for £3.99 and play the trial. I started playing about an hour ago and it feels a different from ufc4 I must say...

[@boss7229]

Yall can't be serious lol if you played UFC 4 then you can play UFC 5, y'all are dumb. 😂 I can't with y'all

[@Sleep-ht9xu]

The amount of detail gone into this video is crazy really good tutorial coming from someone who’s played a fair amount of ufc4 I understood pretty much everything you said great job Romero looking forward to more! 🙌🏻😁

[@Gamingistherapyforme]

Your level of detail and the way you think really shows why you’re the best at these games. Now I’m ready to try and climb them leaderboards next week

[@Danny93Robbo]

Probably the best tutorial I've ever seen for any game

[@kefwerff]

Nice video bro, i will be looking out for your tutorials. Subbed!

[@RomeroXVII]

Thank you!

[@Titus213-xc7pi]

It's gonna be a wild ride! I'm super ready and extremely happy Monday after 12pm its on like donkey Kong 😆

[@jasonl526]

Thank you for this tutorial please do a series of tutorials as they are so informative even for a guy like me who has being playing since ufc 1 .

[@armandocool97]

Lol like if the game is completely different from UFC 4. Striking gameplay is the exact same besides the dumb change to uppercut and overhand inputs.

[@RomeroXVII]

At the core it follows the same principles. However the fact that depending on the move levels for your counters will increase the likelihood for cut damage/busted nose/doctor stoppages is exactly the same as 4, which increases the chance for outright koes and lessens the chance for people to survive the way they did, is definitely different from 4 and makes your fighter pick matter a lot more.

[@theclipper795]

Dude haven’t you heard the people have been calling this ufc 4.5 for a reason, new sub & damage system….. it’s a expensive update my dude

[@RomeroXVII]

@theclipper795 And when the next game drops, then people will start saying 5.5, then 6.5, and etc etc. Buy the game whenever you feel the need to/the best financially, I rarely buy games on release unless it's on sale/get a deal.

[@Mauvaiseodeur]

I have not tested the EA UFC 5 Beta yet so i can't judge but i have confidence on Romero's thoughts and expertise 🤝 Sorry for Bad english language.

[@AceeTheChosen]

⁠@@RomeroXVII you really trying to push the agenda huh

[@xNinjamodx]

Romero with some positivity . I fw it. All the hate for the game is getting annoying, especially when ufc 5 is just objectively better than ufc 4

[@qjdykzdrhdfh]

Oh that is so true. It’s just funny to me how the same people that used to complain for example about the spinning elbow spam now complain about new, more sophisticated control system which was specifically designed to nerf this

[@NoFaceCobain]

It might be better but that doesn't mean it's at the quality it should be

[@7heplague236]

The patches helped a LOT, feels so much better now

[@gabriel-ij7dx]

romero is just a legend for this type of videos, i really appreciate your efforts

[@lvn4x]

This is my first UFC and I am STRUGGLING 😂 Countershots are so hard for me to get the timing of. This game is incredibly vast and complex. It’ll feel so awesome when I’m able to win online by a method other than pure luck!

[@RomeroXVII]

Love the journey! ❤️

[@daveshadenuff187]

Great counter striking guide Vol 1!!!! Very helpful as always Romero.I am now just getting to see this,but it was really good man 👊👊👊👊

[@RomeroXVII]

Thank you!

[@lucasjay1000]

Cool your showing sidesteps. I use them so much in 4 and feel like barely anyone does.

[@rickrocket8338]

Lot harder to counter now especially against jab and straight spammers basically no stamina penalty now and it seems jabs do a lot more damage. I’m not really feeling the striking on this at all.

Came here to see how to counter hook-spamming bums in online career.

[@boybleach5873]

Are the idles new. Like the animations when they are standing still. Or did Aldo used to do that before with his hands shuffling?

[@RomeroXVII]

New idles for a couple of fighters yup!

[@leon_is_alive7590]

I haven't seen a tutorial yet on how to do the stepping jab/cross?? Am I missing something I can't find how to do this strike, not to be confused with the running /dashing jab /cross. This animation is completely different. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

[@MikiKwiatkowski]

Bro how you react that fast to shots that opponents throws lol...

[@k45207]

Amazing video thank you!

[@SpicyT3000]

I have been having trouble landing after slipping punches. I always pull counter on people who throw a jab rear hook combo. My person takes way too long to throw my counter hook and I either get hit or they block it. Is there like a timing window or something I’m missing lol makes head movement not seem worth the risk for me when I can’t even get a successful counter after successful head movement

[@RomeroXVII]

You are likely holding block.

[@Gamingistherapyforme]

These kind of videos make me more excited to play ufc 5. The game is a disappointment from everything I’ve seen but at least the KZbinrs are putting in the work to make us gamers a little motivated to play lol

[@StrainNoMore]

Yo I got a question bro. I noticed in imuhboxers gameplay, that bruce buffer doesn't introduce the fighters properly. This was a problem in the beta too, he didn't announce their height, weight, "fighting out of" etc. Wondering if this will be fixed by launch? Also the ref or cutman doesn't check them before going into the octagon either. Don't know if they removed it, hopefully you can pass it along so they can fix it! Also I asked Martial but I don't think he saw my comment, can you confirm if we will have access to a "performance mode" for full 60 fps including walkouts and cutscenes? Since UFC 4 had this I'm hoping UFC 5 does as well. I appreciate the content bro

[@RomeroXVII]

If you have a 60 FPS 4K capable monitor then the game will run on it. I will pass on the rest!

[@MikePlacer]

You can counter with throwing certain strikes like justin head kick when he leans alot gets you off the center line from front kicks

[@rhyzap]

played this over a friends house on Xbox, I was pressing/flicking Right stick and it done nothing, Y was going for a clinch instead of a punch and B for a takedown instead of a kick, seems like all I need to do is just spam X to do all randomised punches, is there any different button layouts? I think I was on assisted for the ground game but couldnt find anything for the stand up, im so use to ufc3 layout

[@Chavanun555]

I never do this. I just do normal blcoking and side step to change angles😅😅😅

[@electro_chemistry]

Even though the overall gameplay isn't that different, i won't get past Div 2-3 in Ranked with way more losses than wins.... in UFC 4 i always moved around 10-12. Maybe only the top players moved over? 😅

[@bigheadass8906]

Counter striking this year is at an all time bad, barely responsive feels like I’m playing on 20 fps

[@aShamelessHigh]

Havent played since ufc 3, but im here cause of martial. Hes always shoutin you out hes a real one

[@TDOGONYT]

[@RomeroXVII]

Consistent with the way I like to make my videos. Thank you!

[@btuhalfbreed]

👍🏻

[@samuelpowell8443]

I’m not sure what it’s called but how do you do the animation where you “hop” out the way of body/leg kicks.

[@Toxic_wesker]

What about elbows. Is it worth doing a pull counter then elbowing

[@BLVCKSHXXP]

Is prime aldo alter ego in the game? Like how he looked in the 1st ea ufc game?

[@RomeroXVII]

🤔🤔🤔

[@BLVCKSHXXP]

@@RomeroXVII lol they better. As an Aldo fan I was disappointed they didn't add that version in the legends update in 4

[@SJC9726]

So with the block counter (i cant get it to work anyway) but when you face the ai they can basically block counter everything from front kicks to body shots and they usually counter with lunging straights. Could you include this in part 2? Feel like itd be mega op online

[@theallfather5745]

Exactly ai is shit on this game

[@martinto138]

Did they fix the unblockable hooks from cage clinch release?

[@knoccie_]

I’ll flick the stick but never get the chance to throw a strike before they throw a strike or block. No idea what I’m doing wrong but it’s ruining the experience for me.

[@SlCKNESS_]

Make sure you're not holding block while doing the movement and you're also not holding other directions. Counters are slower out of movement with block and moves in general are the fastest when your feet are planted (not moving).

[@knoccie_]

@@SlCKNESS_ Just did all that in the record striking feature and it’s so inconsistent for me. 4/10 times the hook comes back fast enough to land before the block. I don’t get it because when I practiced with a single jab and hook I could return every time. So it’s something to do with blocking then pulling back then hooking that’s an issue for me. I know for a fact I wasn’t holding any other buttons

[@jessehill1627]

You a cheat code🔥

[@shavit1025]

[@algoodie7761]

Ok so what did they change with counters besides check hook ? Same animations. I mean the same animations. Sways side step counters, bro everything was old news. There’s just to much copy and paste with a polish.

[@jasonbridge646]

Any one else can’t use overhand it just throws hook

[@SlCKNESS_]

It's L1/LB + hold square/x or triangle/Y. Don't just press it once.

[@dustinwhitaker8225]

Dude just make a vid of countering the hook spammers that dont care just spam head hooks till win

[@RomeroXVII]

I mean in this video it tells you what to do when someone throws a hook. At that point it is on you. I can make a video on it separately but ultimately it will come down to you actively doing so.
