Lately I have been having difficulty figuring why my strikers are struggling to land strikes against grapplers. Some of these grapplers my fighters are facing still have low striking primaries. Any tips? I'm thinking I am not mixing up the striking enough. So it's leaving my strikers too predictable.

In this game, I haven't seen any TKO by body shot or leg kicks. Which in real life does happen. So it is just a "Maybe" to what we actually know the leg kicks effect... But if the creator did add some realism to it, I hope that the leg kicks have more effects on other physicals than just the conditioning/energy...

Now I know for sure that leg kicks will affect a person speed! My fighter InSaen Chai had landed 51 out of 70 leg kicks against his opponent William Stubbs. And it says this in the fight .... "You can see that Stubbs has visibly slowed down as a result of the leg kicks"

Let's think about this from a more realistic standpoint for the game. Also this is just my own opinion Leg kicks and body kicks will both effect your opponent's physicals I believe that body kicks take most effect on someone's Conditioning! While I believe leg kicks will take most effect on someone's Agility , Speed, and Balance. From a realistic standpoint.

I was first able to notice it once my fighter got (11) Remarkable at Kicks, and (6) Competent at Flexibility! He is also a (13) Exceptional at Muay Thai so that may also play a factor.

Matvey Elin vs Vito Romero 205LB Championship fight officially confirmed! 🔥🔥🔥 Vito Romero - "As always, I am looking for the finish! And I want that belt! I had a title fight at 185LB awhile ago in a different organization but fell short. At 205LB, I feel really good! I don't have to cut much weight so I can eat a lot more! #AndNew or #AndStill? Let's find out in 3 weeks!"

Exactly. But I'm not saying a fighter can't tap you out from a difficult position. -For example the (14) wrestler, blue belt vs (1) wrestler, black belt. -How it relates depends on what position you are on the ground. Let's say the (14) wrestler gets a takedown and ends up in the guard so the black belt is in his guard bottom. The black belt would be more likely to go for submissions and be more likely to finish. -Now let's say the (14) wrestler gets into side control, so now he has a more dominant position. The black belt may go for submissions but he will be making submissions from a difficult position, and not as likely to finish.

HFC 43 also features, Vinyl Tintley vs Khamzat Chimaev. That fight is going to be 🔥🔥🔥! Both of these men are former title challengers and looking to make a statement showing that they are still contenders of HFC.

Regarding the (14) Sensational Wrestler, Blue Belt vs (1) Useless Wrestler, Black Belt... I'd say, transition into dominant positions and control! While trying to work a little offense too. But still be worried about the Black Belt if you give him any opportunities to go for submissions. Example: If your fighter can get to the mount and control from there, I think he should be fine. But if you stay in the Black Belts guard, or he happens to take your back. I'd definitely be worried. Your worried about the Black belts submissions, so try to take those away from him or make him only try submissions from difficult positions

Vito Romero - "My fight against Jack Daniels is going to be crazy! I'm looking to finish him! Everyone watching, grab your drinks and snacks before the fight!"

Strength, Cardio, and Flexibility(Yoga) are physicals you can work on without a coach/trainer. Strength will also help speed, Flexibility will also help balance, agility. I start my new fighters with (1) strength and (2) conditioning, so they can focus on those physicals without a coach. So that my other fighters who are working on other physicals, have the coach to themselves or less fighters per coach session. Many gyms can get expensive, and a new fighter who doesn't have money will be able to stay in Cozad for only $50 and focus on Conditioning, Strength, Flexibility before moving into a better gym with better training and coaches. I own the gym, Shinobi Martial Arts & Ninjutsu located in Los Angeles.

Speaking of aggressive/counter..... Lets say you set it at 50%, if you throw 15 strikes then 10 of those moves will be aggressive and 5 will be counters. Now lets say your set at 50% aggressive/counter and your opponent is set at 100% aggressive. Yes you will counter more than your opponent, but this does not mean it will make you a counter fighter. So yes, you do need to lean it towards the counter side if you want to counter more often. Just being less aggressive than your opponent doesn't make you counter more. Example: If your set at 90% aggressive and your opponent is at set at 100% aggressive. That fight is going to be a brawl, you are both looking to make a move first. But since you will be leaving 10% for counters, you will counter at some point. But you won't counter as often compared to if you had your sliders balanced at 50%. My point is, yes you do need to lean towards the counter side if you would like to counter more often.

-If you are fighting a really aggressive wrestler, you either need to be more aggressive than your opponent or counter at a high rate! If the aggressive wrestler has a big wrestling advantage, I recommend you should be more aggressive rather than counter! He is looking to take you down on the first move(s), so you should be looking to finish him in the first move(s)! Aggression: 70%+ Or Counter: 70%+ __________________________________ -If you are fighting a counter wrestler, you need to have a more balanced approach between aggression and counter. Don't be overly aggressive, don't overly counter as you wont be active as much. If the counter wrestler has a big wrestling advantage, I recommend that you lean towards the aggressive side! Not overly aggressive! The counter wrestler is waiting for you to make the first move(s), being overly aggressive may allow him to counter with takedowns more effectively! You should still look to make the first move(s) as the striker, but also looking to counter the counter! Aggression: 65% or Lower Or Counter: 65% or Lower __________________________________ From my experience, between a striker vs grappler.. whoever makes the first move (s) and scores them successfully, it going to start off with an advantage! My point is, if you are the striker with a huge advantage in the stand up. Make the first move(s)! You are worried about your fighter being taken down, make your opponent worried about getting KO/TKO'D! THIS INFORMATION IS NOT GOING TO GUARANTEE YOU A WIN, BUT IT SHOULD HELP YOU GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO SET YOUR SLIDERS AGAINST DIFFERENT TYPES OF WRESTLERS!

My opinion on this situation..... No guarantees! Just from my experience so far. -If you are more aggressive, you are making the first move(s). *Strength: You are making the first move(s), with your striking advantage you could KO/TKO your opponent quick! *Weakness: You may be more vulnerable to counter takedowns, especially if you are overly aggressive and don't land effective shots. -If you are more of a counter fighter, you are allowing your opponent to make the first move(s). *Strength: You are more focused on defending the takedown, with your striking advantage you can KO/TKO your opponent quick as long as you can keep defending/counter this takedowns. *Weakness: You are allowing your opponent to make the first move(s), if you fail to defend and counter those takedowns, then your at a disadvantage. Do you want to try and finish your opponent quick {maybe on the first move(s)} but the risk is you might be allowing more counter takedowns? Or Do you want to try and focus on being more defensive on those takedowns, but the risk is you might be allowing your opponent to make the first move(s)? Which may allow them to score on the very first takedown! I would like to note, it all depends on your fighter's skills and how you properly set your fight tactics. For example: -Fighting against a very aggressive wrestler, you'll either want to be more aggressive or counter big! -Fighting against a counter wrestler, you shouldn't be overly aggressive or overly countering. Instead, balance it so that you are being aggressive and countering. (Doesn't necessarily have to be 50/50)
