Okay, here we go. Here’s my breakdown of messing around with UFC 400.
So, I was super hyped when I heard about UFC 400. I mean, a milestone event like that? It HAD to be epic, right? I immediately jumped in, ready to grind and dominate. First thing I did was fire up the game and head straight to career mode. Gotta build my own legend, you know?
Character Creation: The Struggle is Real
Let me tell you, the character creation in UFC 4 is a trip. I spent way too long tweaking my fighter’s face. I wanted someone who looked like they could actually throw a punch, not some pretty boy. Spent a good hour messing with sliders, trying to get the right blend of intimidating and, well, not hideous. Finally settled on a dude with a decent jawline and a perpetually angry expression. Perfect!
Training Montage…Kind Of
Next up: training. The training mini-games are… something. Some are alright, like hitting the heavy bag to improve striking power. Others, like the grappling drills, felt kinda clunky at first. I definitely ate a lot of virtual canvas getting my ground game up to par. I mostly just spammed the training sessions to get my stats up quickly. I know, I know, not the most immersive way to play, but I wanted to get to the fights!
My First Fight: Total Noob Move
My first fight was against some random dude in the amateur circuit. I went in way too confident, thinking I was hot stuff after all that training. Big mistake! He rocked me with a jab in the first 10 seconds. I panicked and started swinging wildly. Ended up getting taken down and submitted. Talk about a reality check! I had to go back to the drawing board.
Learning the Ropes (and the Submissions)
After that humbling defeat, I actually started paying attention to the tutorials. Turns out, there’s a lot more to UFC 4 than just button mashing. I learned about stamina management, striking combos, and the intricacies of ground transitions. The biggest game-changer was understanding how to defend submissions. No more getting tapped out like a chump!
Climbing the Ranks (Slowly But Surely)
With my newfound knowledge, I started racking up some wins. It wasn’t always pretty, but I was improving. I found a striking style that worked for me – a mix of jabs, crosses, and the occasional head kick. I also got better at using my footwork to create angles and avoid getting hit. The key was to be patient and pick my shots. Each fight felt different, some guys wanted to brawl, others wanted to grapple. Had to adapt each time.
The Grind is Real, But Worth It
The climb to the UFC was a long one. There were some tough losses along the way, and I definitely had my share of frustrating moments. But the feeling of finally getting that contract offer was amazing. Making my UFC debut was a whole new level of pressure. The opponents were tougher, the stakes were higher, and the crowd was louder. I lost a close decision in my first fight but bounced back with a knockout in my second.
No UFC 400 Title (Yet!)
I haven’t reached UFC 400 in my career yet, still grinding. But I got to say, playing UFC 4 has been a blast. It’s a challenging game, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Building my fighter from the ground up and seeing him progress has been really satisfying. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey and hopefully one day, fighting in the main event of UFC 400.
- Always pay attention to your stamina.
- Learn a variety of strikes and combos.
- Don’t neglect your ground game.
- Be patient and don’t get frustrated.
- Have fun!
That’s my UFC 4 story so far. Still got a ways to go, but I’m enjoying the ride. Maybe I’ll share another update when I finally reach UFC 400. Wish me luck!
