Anyone got any tips on grappling? I'm playing on the third difficulty (Advanced, I think), and ironically I have the most success with Shogun. Standing. I get beat more than I win with Liddell, simply because Shogun shoots me (which I can rarely evade), takes me down, and ground and pounds me. He seems to get to full mount ridiculously easily. I've only been submitted once (and never managed to submit the computer), but he'll kill me on the ground.
As Shogun myself, my success comes from slowly chipping away at Liddell. I have more success that way simply because he doesn't try to get on the ground. Here I manage to win what I'd probably say is a slighy majority of the matches. Only. Even as him I rarely do very well taking him down (the few times I actually manage to), but at least I'm rarely in any danger of taking a pounding on the ground.
I jumped straight to Advanced from Beginner (skipping Experienced), and on Beginner I used to be able to ground and pound (though still never managed to submit the computer, and me and my cousin submitting eachother is an extreme rarity). I realize this is just the demo, I haven't played it that much and I'm playing on the second highest difficulty and still managing to hold my own, but it's just so frustrating. I think I might have to run by the grappling tutorial a few mores times (as opposed to the half time I've done it).
Conclusion: I want this game.
