If you fight a grappler (Coleman,Burnett,Goodridge,Rutten,Rizzo,Jackson,Randleman,Hughes,Kosa ka, Mezger, Ortiz, Miletich, Horn, Ruas, Williams, Shamrock or Tanner) fight using a lot of strikes and get back up to your feet as soon as you can after being took down. If you fight a striker (The fighters not mentioned above), take them down to the ground and mat grapple them. 2) If you control a good grappler, take the opponent down as soon as possible. Basically, the first move you should try is the tackle for the takedown. Especially good when using Coleman, Ruas and Shamrock 3) If you find yourself stuck on the ground with your back to the opponent, don't lose time trying to back punch the opponent. IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU GET OUT OF THAT POSITION ASAP. Each blow your opponent will give you to the back of the head is devastating. 4) On the other hand, if you find yourself on top of an opponent facing the ground, just hit the punch button repeatedly, this is a sure Knock Out. 5) When practicing with Big John, Start with his skill level at the lowest and find all your moves using the move list provided in the Pause Menu. Then practice each of your moves in all position to the point that you doesn't need to look at the list anymore. Then, get his skill level to the middle of the gauge. Now, if you can defeat Big John, you can go in the main mode without worrying 6) You should take one character and always keep it until you beat the game. 7) Fear the Brazilian squad. Ruas and chums are all deadly. Getting into a ground war with them is suicidal. 8) Mark Coleman is very good to take you down. 9) The best all around characters to pick are Marco Ruas, Mark Coleman and Frank Shamrock 10) Don't get into a pattern of doing the same moves over and over again. The opponent will adjust. ------------------------ (X) Move Lists Table Of Contents A)Base Move List (Common to all fighters) B)Tim Lajcik C)Mark Coleman ------------------------ A)Base Move List The following is a list of the moves that all the fighters in the game use.
