Alright, so I wanted to get good at UFC 4, specifically how to slam. I mean, who doesn’t love a good body slam? It’s like one of the coolest things you can do in the game, right? Plus, I figured it could really change how a match goes if I could master it. I saw some folks online talking about different types of slams, from those classic body slams to some fancy suplexes.
So, I started digging around, trying to find out how to actually do these slams. I found some tips that were kinda helpful. They said you gotta hold down R2 and L2 when your opponent tries to take you down. It’s like blocking a low kick, which I’m pretty okay at, but this was different. While you’re holding those buttons, they can still move their left stick up or down to drive for the takedown, and you gotta match their direction with your own left stick, all while still holding R2 and L2. It sounded way harder than it looked.
- First try: I jumped into a match and waited for the takedown attempt. When it came, I hit R2 and L2, but I messed up the left stick part. Got taken down, obviously.
- Second try: This time, I remembered the left stick, but I was too slow. Still got taken down. Felt like I had two left hands, you know?
- Getting the hang of it: After a few more tries, I started to get a feel for the timing. It’s all about reacting quickly and getting that left stick in the right direction. I managed to block a couple of takedown attempts, but no slams yet.
- Figuring it out: Then it hit me, I needed to be more aggressive. I started using this Teep kick to keep my distance and mess up their rhythm. It’s not directly related to slamming, but it helps to set things up.
- Practice, practice, practice: I spent hours just practicing. Blocking takedowns, doing those kicks, and trying to get those slams.
It took a while, but I finally started landing some slams. It felt awesome! It’s not just about holding a couple of buttons; you gotta anticipate your opponent’s moves and be ready to counter. Also, I learned that having a good sprawl is super important. And timing your knees can really mess them up. I also noticed that using the Teep kick to keep them at a distance helps a lot. It’s all about keeping them guessing and disrupting their game.
I’m still no expert, but I’m definitely getting better. It’s all about practice and learning from each match. And honestly, it’s pretty satisfying when you finally pull off a slam. It’s like all that effort finally paid off, you know?
