Basic go to strategies

This is for starting players who will be facing a very few types of styles.. What should be the basic strategy to fight them to simply negate their strengths and give yourself best chances to win. Common types I've found are as follows...

 

strong boxing and Muay Thai poor wrestling and BJJ.

 

strong boxing and wrestling poor Muay Thai and BJJ

 

strong Muay Thai and wrestling poor boxing and BJJ

 

strong wresting and BJJ poor boxing and Muay Thai

 

and the last is mediocre everything.

 

Thanks!

You should gameplan based on your strengths and weaknesses first, and react to opponents second.

 

Looking at just your opponents primaries won't tell you much. You can guess what the rest of their build looks like. But the more important info is how they fight, and for that you need to scout their previous fights. You can't just assume that a wrestling/BJJ guy is going to spam takedowns, or a MT/wrestling guy to be clinch rapist.

I get that one should study their opponent's fight history and to work to your own fighters strengths. However, there are basic ideas how to deal with each particular style.

 

Certainly most managers will make their fighters fight Where their fighter is strongest. Assuming that their fighters secondaries and physicals align with their primaries and their previous fights align with basic fight theories.. What are the ideas to negate your opponents strengths to ensure your fighters success.

 

Obviously the way to handle a pure ground fighter would be to keep it standing. A pure stand up fighter would be to take it to the b ground. Is there any working theories to deal with each particular style or not?

These two examples are only obvious tactics when two opposite style fighters clash. There is no point in trying to take down a pure stand up opponent, unless your fighter has a clear adventage on the ground (or a disadvantage on the feet). Those stand up fighters also usually have high takedown defense, defensive grappling and escapes, to go along with their stand up skills. The same logic applies to all match ups.

 

Also, these kind of match ups you talk about, usually only happen with very young (ID, creation date) fighters, who haven't had the time to round out. Once they get older, the one trick specialists are gone. If you stick around here for the long run, you'll eventually notice that those young fighter fights are like minor league pre-season games, they don't matter (but that doesn't mean they can't be entertaining too), and they only slightly resemble what the fight engine is like at it's best (with fighters at or close to their skill cap).

 

For new people who come to play this game, the best advice are always; get a mentor and / or read the guides on the forums. You'll learn what are the biggest slider and build blunders, and you'll learn to avoid them. After that, I'd encourage them to experiment with different sliders and builds out for them selves. Learning by doing is the way to go.

First of all, I like to have a high wrestling skill so that I can take advantage of my opponents weaknesses. An elite boxer is useless if you can easily take him down, and a BJJ black belt can't submit you without getting you to the floor. Basically, in the early game it's hard to beat a clinch rapist with high wrestling and takedown defense. Strike the grapplers from range and clinch the strikers and hold them against the cage. High defenses are the key, though; you have to have striking defense, takedown defense and clinchwork, and defensive grappling is nice for a security blanket.

Oh, and get a mentor, and make sure you get one that is active and responds to you. This game is almost impossible to learn without a mentor and a week of free time to read the forums.
