UFC 4 - Defending Transitions, Momentum and Reversals

[@Zyaf]

I like the new momentum transition from sprawl to back side. It encourages more activity on the ground rather than just baby punching the body. Very nice video.

[@pharo2682]

yes exactly now all they need to do in my opinion is what martial mind has been advocating for is not making the stamina dump from getting denied so drastic because it promotes fighters to just sit there waiting to block a transition for advantage

[@RickyJSports]

Great video brother. Your voice is made for the broadcast booth!

[@DmartGaming]

Thanks Ricky!

[@jacksonmcgrady4036]

Just magically posture down for absolutely no reason. Once someone postures up, you just hold block and pray the game pulls him down while you get beat on.

[@acgamingandentertainment958]

Hahahahaha

[@madsteer1235]

The only part of the ground game I can’t seem to get ahold of is reversals. I read how to do em and when I do it, it doesn’t work out lol. I then get wrecked lol

[@conquistador2348]

Broo same, since UFC 2 I haven’t been able to be good at reversals on ground game, when I’m top game they reverse like crazy. Hopefully one day I’ll understand:

[@DrkEmperor]

Thank you Dmart. I have been having issues trying to get off the ground everytime I get put on the ground I would stay there the whole round. Now I understand the concept a little. Good job bro on explaining how this works.

[@daveshadenuff187]

Keep doing videos for EA UFC 4!!!Your great at explaining the game and very easy to understand with what to do.

[@playername6824]

Sup bro I have you friended on ps4

[@jordapex7508]

It is to hard to defend takedowns on this game aswell

[@walterrosales8025]

Short and precise! I’m subbing!!

[@SlickSkiMask]

You need to do one for takedown reversals into submissions. I've been in practice for HOURSSSSSSSSSS and was only able to pull one off twice. Practice mode is missing so much you can't learn much because there is not frame highlighting like game like Tekken. Also anyone reading this. Go to practice and fight Barbosa on skill grappling and tell me how to stop this single leg among other unstoppable takedowns he does even when you pre-deny him. I had Khabib and got out grappled.

[@ELPelonCabron]

Awesome video bro 👊😎

[@DontCome2LA]

This videos are amazing straight to the point thank you so much

[@Paul_Hardy]

Helpful video. I always wondered how to do reversals as I can never seem to pull them off. Now I realise that I can't pull them off because it's about precision timing and I'm old and slow, which is fine because at least I know why I can't do them.

[@lt_quackaloo7543]

Hey dmart I'm loving these videos, is it okay if you can have a look at the CAFs and go to the hometown and find out if Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is an option for where you come from? I would really appreciate it 😊

[@lt_quackaloo7543]

@Bo Mal Patriote DEFFO!! I would love to be able to put my CAF as Welsh and not English for a change lmao

[@carlthomas2647]

Lt_Quackaloo I've used New South Wales, Australia in UFC 3!

[@Aydanio4Real]

Carl Thomas thats australia not wales

[@vincentcamachio5369]

you should've explained this shit in ufc 3.. you made it so clear for the upcoming game and its the same with minor changes

[@jordapex7508]

Can you do a video on clinch work I don’t know to get out half the time and sometimes I feel stuck and can’t defend the knees

[@adamk6299]

Some of the ground and pound is beyond robotic particularly from full guard.

[@gizzyuk710]

The ground game is where i struggle the most i always find myself at a disadvantage been watching some of videos on it hopefully it helps me.

[@yuh8627]

How do you conuter the momuntum transition??? Pls answer

[@milinpatel714]

Wish they made it so you flick in OPPOSITE direction of opponent movement... it's more intuititive

[@davidpettersson2630]

good video, its so hard to resist when they make a move on the ground

[@mrm2746]

Hey dmart what's the counter momentum transition when they go from full gaurd to back sitting?

[@zanedickson2725]

None of these controls are on ufc 4 i downloaded for xbox 1.. just submission left on the analog, get up pushing up, and ground and pound push right..that's it.

[@jasonpicciani1352]

you have to change your grappling to legacy in setting

[@kingkryson3812]

I don't understand the momentum transition. If i fill up the fullguard transition won't he perform it right away? How i supposed to push the right stick to the right after filling up ? Do i have to fake once its filled up or something?

[@thedominer-ew5vj]

Can you show off career mode with a jiu-jitsu archetype it would be a good series

[@DmartGaming]

I like that.

[@thedominer-ew5vj]

@@DmartGaming i think alot of people will like it because every1 has been doin strikers so you should be the only 1 showing off the new grappling system before the release

[@joeward96]

How do you deny a backside reversal. I swear it's not left or right anymore cau they reverse me everytime . When I let go of RT it gives me the option to back into side saddle. Do you see the backside animation n quickly just hold RS in the side saddle direction to stop it now cause this has me soooooo baffled. I'm holding rt so they catch me out everytime even when I let go get the full circle of side saddle they still reverse . Frustrating

[@TheCommercialBreakk]

Arrows don’t pop up on my screen

[@johnnyk2238]

Hey bro my grappling controls are completly different for some reason what grappling control setting do you have yours on??

[@letsmathsdebate2959]

You have to change it to legacy mode

[@sirjam34]

Can you do more on reversals

[@leebloketube]

Do I have to wait or can I pre deny a transition on the ground? I mainly just want to prevent my opponent from posturing up.

[@1990drewbe420]

I’m wondering if you can transition using RB while on the bottom of a postured up opponent with a grapple stamina advantage. Would be huge for ground and pound defense which was OP in the closed beta

[@thertypopper6991]

Can you block advanced transitions ?

[@rakinchowdhury194]

Hey your voice should be in a EA UFC 4 trailer

[@rizkyarieframadhan4893]

Is side control pound still op?

[@rizkyarieframadhan4893]

Still witing game like Martial Mind Said? And is there sitting fence grapple?

[@charliecole7360]

Do you use the left analog to transition and deny in this one

[@user-vr6oh1me5x]

When I’m playing my freind at my house I can’t see where he’s going so I can’t defend how can I stop this ?

[@xXenjoi53Xx]

There are certain animations that will play depending on which way the other fighter will transition. The most basic way to describe it is if for example: you're in top mount and the other fighter wants to move to half guard, they will push you either left or right. Whichever way they push you is which way you need to defend, so if they push you to the left hold the right trigger and push left on the right stick. This will defend the transition if pressed at the right time. Every ground transition from all positions will play a specific animation depending on the direction they go, so you will need to learn the animations in order to time your denies correctly. It's a bit tricky considering how many animations there are so it will take some time to learn. I hope this helped.

[@Scorpio1025]

How do you get the “defend” prompt to show up on the hud when it’s time to defend the transition?

[@davidegan7791]

Ye it doesn’t show for me

[@rapidfire223]

it doesnt show on online fights or on legendary diffiulty. supposed to see the opponent's animation to determine direction.

[@finnishmetalfreak]

Holding RT/R2

[@pololavish5774]

@@rapidfire223 well it needs to show for online fights . it's stupid that it's not there. Hope they add it next update. Im tired of these boxers having advantage on that shit

[@Undertakerfan700]

Lol so basically the ufc 3 ground game

[@jordapex7508]

When some is postured you ground and pounding me sometimes I can’t do anything because i don’t have the grapple hud why is that. And what’s best to do when they posture up

[@jakobnovak9025]

Hold r2 and move your head to duck the punches, the hud will then popup again after few seconds

[@thomo7651]

How the fuck do you get put mount if the guy keeps canceling the transitions. You obvs just have to admit defeat then eh ?

[@omgitsmatt3mdm117]

1:15. RB Or RT??? I thought it’s RT

[@thall3936]

It feels like the people who made ufc never wanted anyone to grapple literally played for 2 year still don’t get it no one actually explains it I’m great at most games but this shit is just shit

[@raheemrecess]

Learned nothing

[@masoneggers6806]

moar

[@killuazoldyck6852]

Playing the trial rn and it’s fucking shit. This game is terrible it’s fucking terrible

[@CityVsTheWorld]

Easy answer wait for ufc 5 cause both ufc 3 and 4 are shit and ground

[@jacksonmcgrady4036]

Ufc 3 grappling was bad but this is just trash. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HATES THE NEW CHANGES? Yes they added some cool new cosmetic features BUT they removed key things that I LOVED about 2 and 3. For example, I can’t even pick the weight class in ranked. Your fight history has way less information. Don’t even get me started about the God AWFUL controls. I REALLY want to like this game... I swear I do and I’m not just hating but this is absolutely TRASH.

[@pololavish5774]

They need to make a create a fighter game mode where you play against other create fighters. I don't know why EA has stupid templates for it on rank

[@ao1461]

Game so ass lmao
