here's a huge tip that has led me to be undefeated since i figured it out: most people playing onlilne with this game are TERRIBLE on the ground. i mean non junkies, that is. cuz we put the time in for the league and what not. basically, i just pick the best wrestler in the class, or just the best GNPer in the class. then i take fools down, stuff transitions, pass to mount. pound. i have unbelievable top control, i've got this rhythm with the punching plus grapple blocking that allows me to stay in the mount, haven't been bucked off once. my one loss was against brock lesnar on a lucky flash ko 10 sec. in.

See this is where I'm still having trouble. The advice osubuckeye gave about grapple blocking works most of the time. But, when it doesn't work, I cannot keep people from passing almost instantly to mount. Once they are there, I might as well just give up and not even try to get out cause it's only happened 1 time for me. If it weren't for my defensive grappling, I would be a beast. I don't even bother with wrestlers anymore, cause I actually have more success on the ground with BJJ guys. It's way easier for me to use rubber guard to sweep.

even cheaper: just host a match and always be GSP. and then do the takedown GNP. i haven't once failed to get an opponent to the ground. i always discount that lesnar KO. never happened.

I've beat a couple GSP's today as Hendo, then again they were stupid GSP's who liked to do head kick after head kick... I took one guy down 14 times and literally beat him until he had no stamina left.
Just kept taking him down, slamming him then letting him back up
Slams are awesome for wrestlers by the way.
Johnny419 said:
how did you beat GSP as Hendo?????
Click to expand...
Takedown, slam, counter transition mixed in with a few punches, let up, repeat.
Did that 13-14 times (said I had 14 takedowns by the end, I don't think I had slams every time though) then stuffed 3-4 transitions and submitted GSP.
(still took me into the second round before I won)

Well, see I don't want to be a cheap fighter. I would honestly have a losing record, but know that I have more skill and well roundedness than just get the best wrestler and use TDs and pound people out everytime. I hate using wrestlers, too. I'd much rather use BJJ guys instead.

Oh snap, I'm losing my mind. I guess basically 8 straight hours of playing will do that though
I'm thinking of Hughes, not Hendo. Same strategy.

i'm not being cheap. i've only used GSP once. i've just gotten really good at timing strikes to get the TD. i just had absurd success the one time i used GSP, because that's his game. GNP ko at 45 sec.
my advice, goodcat, since we both have rashad in the league, is to use rashad's top control. he's got a bit of a weak chin in this game. i haven't had that much success standing and banging with him, because (keep in mind that i'm on PSN, now) despite being hooked up to an ethernet cable, there's still a TINY bit of lag, probably the other person's fault, so it's hard to time counters, and that's how i strike in this game. im pumped that they gave rashad the right head kick. for my money, he's the best LHW in this game, he's got so much more power than Lyoto and AS.

Yeah, Rashad is faster, stronger, and has better cardio than AS at LHW. I just prefer to use kickboxers/muay thai strikers and BJJ guys rather than boxers and wrestlers. I'm not saying I wish I hadn't picked Rashad yet, but depending on how well I do with him either online or in the league I may end up regretting it. I really only picked him cause he was the highest rated.
BTW, I wasn't trying to call you cheap, so please don't take it like that. I was talking about the guys I play online that do nothing but use the best wrestlers in each division and immediately go for a TD and spam transitions to get to mount.
Watch your health meter. I didn't have mine on for 3 days (I thought it was cheap) but then I played my friend online and beat me 7 out 8 times. I asked him how and he said he has his meter on, could see me gassing and then took me down and subbed me every time.
