Learn how to improve your skills in UFC 4

Back to Tips & Tricks Hub

How to Transition

With Grapple Assist on, select any of the Goals in the Grapple HUD with ^LS^ to attempt them or move to a position that has that goal available. With Hybrid or Legacy Grapple HUD enabled, select a transition available on the Grapple HUD with ^RS^. You can also hold ^LB^ to view advanced Transitions or ^LT^ for Submissions. Hybrid or Legacy Grapple HUD are recommended in Online play.

Inputs:

Grapple Assist: ^LS^ or Legacy Grapple: ^RS^

Building Transition Grapple Advantage

Building Grapple Advantage while on top of your opponent occurs by landing small strikes with ^X^ or ^Y^ and by denying your opponent from Transitioning with ^RT^+^LSALL^ or ^RSALL^. Grapple Advantage will allow your fighter to transition quickly making it difficult for your opponent to defend the transition.

Inputs:

Strikes: ^X^ or ^Y^\nDefend Transitions: ^RT^+^RS^ or ^LS^

Momentum Transitions

Momentum Transitions are specific transitions which combine with one another when used in sequential order. They are transitions that when used, will transition as fast as possible allowing your fighter use a transition as if you had full Grapple Advantage. An example of Momentum Transition is when your opponent puts you into their Rubber Guard, your fighter will have a fast transition to Stacked Guard. There are over 40 different combinations of Momentum Transitions to find.

Stamina Awareness

Stamina awareness is crucial when you are on top of your opponent. Low Stamina on the ground can lead to your fighter getting submitted or swept into a bad position. High Stamina allows your fighter to react quickly and transition as quick as possible if Grapple Advantage is high.
