Yup pretty spot on. The best players (pressuring styles like Uni, Swiss, GOAT, Jamie, etc or players that fight well off the backfoot like Ed and Advaita) tend to pressure successfully with footsies as well, not only trying to draw out your strikes/defensive maneuvers with feints and footwork *but also making it a point to force you to try and exchange when your short term stamina is LOWER than theirs, which will greatly increase their probability of rocking/dropping you during an exchange*

Martial: “heres a video on how to fix your striking” Me: *watches* Also me: *Starts rushing like Wanderli Silva*

I know this is an old video but I wanted to show my gratitude for its existence. After I watched this video, I practiced footsies, going in and out with my jab and noticed that my opponents would just stand in front of me allowing me to tee off. My striking has improved a lot and I just went on a three-fight streak in online ranked. Thanks for the advice.

You the best striker I seen in this game

Since ur so good at footwork, a Cruz showcase is super necessary

also footies is the same in 2d fighting games (street fighter, mk, etc). it is you moving in and out to be in range to land and to not get hit / countered

I love the usual fighters showcases but videos like this or the last one about striking mistakes from last week are soo good

Thank you so much for this it’s crazy how much a little change can bring huge results

Never ever thought about foot work before now that I’m doing it my god significant improvement in my games thanks bro hella good tips

I'm loving these bro, keep em coming. Appreciate it man

There’s times where I’m running into space that isn’t there and I feel like certain movements in this game are just broken, I’m peaking at div 15 because people literally just use space and you can never get close because the game literally doesn’t allow it and even if you do combos come out at Mach 3 speeds, I’ll slip a straight and throw my straight just for the other player to hit me with a punch anyway because their character is unfazed by anything you throw, sometimes it’s like fighting a brick of rubber you can be up by 50 punches and still not get a significant strike regardless of landing

Great video man. I've definitely had head aches against the pressure fighters. This definitely helps

Yesss, i need this, thank you Martial.

I'm loving these tutorials, keep em coming!

I commented on a recent video asking for help the other day and this video gets recommended now, this is a blessing. I've rewatched it twice and took it into the game and I've only noticed a difference in the fights. Thank you

You're right...I've been putting more focus on movement and distance since I've watched this and it's been working...movement first....striking second

Hi Martial, really enjoying the videos, they really help me improve, thanks a lot 👍

I think a lot of people wince when they hear pressure because they think of max spammers and the like. But you can apply pressure without going balls to the walls and constantly throwing strikes. Get your opponents respect and fight at your pace, not theirs.

Thanks for the advice martial...I do footwork alot and it works but now I know what I need to add to make it better

This video has helped me so much . I started winning and ranking up quick . Thanks a million for this video martial .. maybe something on the ground game would be cool

I'm definitely bout to do this more, God content martial 🔥

Could you make a video where you break down a fight where YOU were beat in a non cheesy way? Anytime I watch your videos I feel like its not possible to beat you, but obviously sometimes people get the better of you so Id love to see that

Learned a lot of good tips watching these videos💪🏽💯

Appreciate the effort brother Always a banger

Love these vids man. Keep it up!

Yow martial thanks for this tips.. i see alot of players fight like that. They wait till you hit, then they hit yo with some straight or jab. Today i met somebody he did only straight when i want to hit. .. weird style. My footwork was 90 but your advice made it 100 thanks my man

Great 👌 tips man!!! This is a topic I haven't seen any UFC 4 content creator make yet.Something different and that is what makes this channel great!!! Keep up the great content also!!! 👊👊👊

love these videos, helps much. Thank you!

Awesome title, awesome video. Very informative thank you my duuude

dope that you have two videos based on this topic, personally i’m watching this one before the other so i can see why my striking sucks before i see the tips to make me better lmfao

If they spam, go for the body if they run go for the legs and if they head hunt with punches lunges and head movement counters and if they throw kicks just stay far enough but close enough so when they miss their head kick you fire on right back if you time it it’ll land as they set back up after spinning out

Thanks Martial for the tips that really help me !😊

Nice job and video , excellnt advices for new ones like myself .

Thanks Martial I'll definitely try this out

I think anybody who has played other fighting games can pick this up this class fairly easily. Footsies is a fundamental concept in pretty much every fighting game, and being able to take advantage of spacing and play mind games with your opponent is something that is universal, despite the execution being different between fighting games. Well said.

Wow this actually helped a lot, thanks man

Always preaching the smartest stuff💯 things that people don't pick up on

The things that really get to me are the clinch against the corners of the cage and knee/elbow spammers

Keep in mind to always have high stamina, both when you defend and when you advance. Wait, deny, counter. You only get tapped if you have low stamina.

Yo loving these

I have been here for a year. I know this is a striking channel But i refuse to watch other ufc channels lol. All ive learned is from this channel I kick all my friends asses now an it FEELS GOOD. u taught me how to be successful on my feet an how to stay on my feet an how to make others hate it every second of the fight So thx Martial

I notice I don’t use any mid kicks, and that’s been pretty detrimental for me being a ranged sniping kind of counterhitter

Yeah I was mainly a striker but I started getting destroyed by people that understand head movement way better than I do so I just wrestle mainly now but I gotta get better striking now

Yo Martial can you make a video like this but for blocking takedowns. I watch your videos for so long and you are even doing some blocking animations I've never seen before

You have great insight this is a gamechanger

This was such a good video please make more videos like this👍👍👍

This is something I really needed. 👍

this helped alot with striking and saving stamina

This works in fight night round 4. This is what i would do to get people. Read their movements. Get them to miss.

It's about time you made another striking tutorial

Man bro you’re giving out the recipes fr, whenever I tell someone this they don’t listen and just say I’m running 😂😂

Don't spam transitions, be unpredictable with the timing of your transitions and strikes, use fake transitions to set up real ones, use strikes to set up transitions. Once I take someone down I usually pause a second and see if they I'm try to transition so I'm ready to block it. I used to suck at the ground but got good at it by just taking people down a lot lol.

Can you do a video on takedowns because I’m div 15 but I have trouble taking someone down that knows how to defend them it would really help my game just a suggestion I would appreciate it 🙏

So as the ufc game get further players get better can u do another tutorial on better fighting and blocking I suck at that

thanks for the tip my guy👍

Bro honestly idk if it's just me or my game but I can't do this I tried and I still can't win. Nothing I do work. I try throwing just a 3 strike combo and it won't work. Idk what I'm doing wrong

Bruh me and my cousin living together and both got into ufc 4 heavily like we 1v1 after work and the footsy style is what we adapted 4th day of grinding this game. Just looking for new play styles to whoop his ass.

Dam worked so good thanks

This is great but remember guys, plant your feet when you’re throwing. Try not to throw while moving. Reason being strikes are quicker and stronger when standing still.

I still haven’t figured out how to make my head movement better 😭

Do you have your camera on something specific cause my camera goes in and out of focuato much

martial my footwork is good but people still somehow just throw random strikes and get gnp stoppages what can i do to try and counter box someone who is just t-ing off i need help cause i use my head movement and people still get damage on me even tho im blocking how can i deal with them not just spamming combos at me cause i use ur cross like you said but it dosnt work

Could you make a video on conserving stamina

Mine just is a guy throwing hook hook hook hook hook hook and then I’m knocked out. they just keep moving forward and spamming the hooks and I can’t do anything with it. As soon as I throw a strike I get knocked down.

Im just glad that these striking footsie monsters usually don’t know how to grapple xD

I bought a really nice tv about a month ago. I started playing ufc 4 online today and after about 20 straight losses i threw my controller across the room, barely missing my tv. On the positive side i got my first win not long after. I love and hate this game.

I wish they would make it a little more realistic blocking wise..Dustin doesn't block like everyone else he uses his elbows and more or hisshoulder to block..for those that don't know what I mean go watch a fight of his

Yoo fantastic explanation

Okay but as a noob how do I do anything when the other person is just coming straight forward all the time throwing 150 punches a round lol if I’m not blocking/dodging I’m getting smoked and my guard eventually gets drained and get smoked anyways

This man is a genius

Did this and the first match I gassed him out I made him miss that much that one hook to the body made him gas out

Professor martial in the building.

My striking is good but I know nothing when it comes to grappling when the fight hits the ground im done I need a tutorial on that !
