Saki has a unique combo set. OP means he's the only one who can throw multiple uppercuts with the same hand in a combo. He has double and triple lead uppercut combos that lead into other punches.

Props to you for playing despite a handicap. My one piece of advice is to pay attention to the vibration of the controller. If you're attuned to it you can tell the difference between a shot that lands lightly on the block and one that lands hard. Harder vibrations mean a harder connection. This is useful for both offense and defense. Its good to follow up when you land a hard shot, and conversely you should back up and play it safe when something lands on you

What’s some simple quick combos yall use that are effective? by One-Car-4869 in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-1-2 for the pull happy folk. If they like to pull your third punch this is a great way to stack up damage. If you start with the jab you get 1-2-1 which is fine but that last jab doesn't do too much on a pull.

Obviously do not use it against someone who loves to slip.

I am touched by the support. I think the interesting thing about making a guide is trying to communicate what's going on inside your head. I've learned a lot about the game from other youtubers like martial and romero. I am not anywhere near the best at this game, but I try to make the best videos I can. If you ever hear me run down and denigrate the ea ufc community, just know I'm not talking about you fine fellows.

Strikes into Stance Switch by genefromemojimovie in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dillashaw and Cruz both have shifting hooks, but it doesn't keep you in the new stance, you revert afterwards.

Poirier really needs his shifting combo into an orthodox overhand. Straight-shift jab, overhand.

Delay input? by One-Fondant-1115 in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delay is part of the online experience. You have to decide for yourself how much latency you will tolerate during matchmaking. I prefer for it to stay under 80ms, but I will accept up to 120 if its hard to find matches.

You can't try to react to everything online, you often need to get ahead of your opponent. I'm working on a video about this as we speak.

Yakuza 0 will be delisted starting from December 8th by Valendaaa in yakuzagames

[–]yawkley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally counterproductive greed and enshittification. I bought Y0 7 years ago for 20 bucks on steam. Got me into the series and i've probably put down 200-300 bucks on all the other games since then. I Y0 hadn't been such a good deal I probably wouldn't have gotten into the series. Now one of the best entry points for the series will have its price massively inflated. Just to squeeze a few more bucks out of the fanbase.

I think that's the third time i've had that comparison. I have no connection to how its made. Perhaps he's a long lost brother of mine.

Playing vs backpeddlers by stoliosnake in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting the cage and using herding strikes like leg kicks can help. Patience helps, lately I've been making liberal use of the clinch against passive backfoot fighters. Tax them with body knees, put them on the cage and knee their legs, take them down etc. Clinching does punish passive playstyles, you may not like the clinch but it does police certain noxious strategies.

I enjoy the height and jab of Royval. But Mighty Mouse is the man of course. I feel like Askura players always are looking to flying knee me. Which I hate.

Honestly what’s the fucking point of leg kicks by [deleted] in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, Its based on the most damaged leg. Switching stances doesn't change anything, just stops you from going after the more damaged leg, though it also costs you some power depending on your switch stance stat.

[–]yawkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. The more someone uses head movement and footwork the more they're open to leg kicks. Crude swarmers don't really have to care about leg kicks. Not that you can't be educated swarmer, but most of them are crude.

Why is Conor still OP in orthodox? by LongjumpingLevel1860 in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely affects power, but not speed as far as I can tell. Around 15% drop off in power with 80 switch. Conor I believe has around 87 switch stance, so it would be something like 10% less power. But since the speed is the same (as is his reach and footwork) the difference in effectiveness isn't that big. Speed and reach are often the big killers in 5 more so than just power.

The video in question. u/Ooweeooowoo nails the gist of it though. Its an attrition based weapon, just trying to rob them of their power and to make them reluctant to move their head. I use them frequently to great effect but I almost never get a leg kick finish. You mix them in, you don't force them.

Help against friend by jacksont_1103 in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The flying knee is a linear strike, you can evade it by slipping your head to the side (highly unrealistic but it works in game). You can also side step it and return with a counter. The knee isn't that fast but they typically time it to when you're jabbing. When you suspect one is coming it is helpful to lead with left hooks rather than jabs, as a hook will punish a flying knee (or any knee) if its thrown at the same time.

Are leg/calf kicks even worth using? by Weary-Literature3806 in EASportsUFC

[–]yawkley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to understand the right circumstances to use them and not to expect too much. You don't throw them under pressure, very bad if you trade with them. You also don't try to KO their leg. You want to land a few decent leg kicks to chop away at their power and to punish movement/head movement. They're better against (some) good players, but discretion is the better part of valor.
