(End Of Credits)

It is now my turn to welcome you to this FAQ ! I will try my best to
guide you throughout this very difficult, yet very intense and
refreshing game that is Ultimate Fighting Championship for the
Playstation game console. The game was released by Crave
Entertainment in October 2000, without too much hype. It got a slow
start on the shelves but I heard the sales for this game went up
during the Christmas commercial boost. From my personal experience, I
can say that this game did sell well during the holidays. Only one
copy was left after I picked mine up. Enough talking, let's now get
to the thick of things !

------------------------

(III) – Game Screen Description

All game screens in Ultimate Fighting Championship have the same
meters and timer on them.

At the top of the screen: The names of both competitors with a life
gauge underneath both of them. The Player 1 controlled character
starts on the left of the Octagon and his life gauge is the one in
the upper left corner. Your opponent's gauge is in the upper right
corner and your foe starts the match at the right of the screen.

At the bottom right corner of the screen: The time left in the
current round. This can be changed in the Options for Exhibition
Matches but for matches in the Tournament and Road to the
championship modes, it is set to three 5 minutes round, which is also
the default setting for the Exhibition Mode unless you change it.

Pause Menu: Reached by pressing Start during gameplay. Options self
explainatory.

------------------------

(IV) – The Rules of The UFC

Traditionally, the UFC have played by this very simple set of rules:

No bitting
No eye gouging
No low blowing (They never enforce this one…)

In the game, you cannot attempt for any of the above illegal moves,
so no matter what, you will never be disqualified.

There are three ways to achieve victory:

A) By Knockout: Opponent's life bar is empty and THE LAST BIT OF LIFE
IS TAKEN AWAY BY A STRAIGHT, PUNCH TO THE FACE. Any blocked strike
that takes out the opponent's last bit of life left in the bar will
cause the opponent to regain a little health. This is the hard way to
win matches. Usually, the match never lasts long enough to reach a
point where one of the fighters is near of being knocked out.

B) By Submission: You put and COMPLETE a submission hold on the
opponent. No matter how much health is left in the opponent's bar, if
you can completely lock a submission hold on, it's an automatic tap
out. Make sure the opponent doesn't reverse your hold and puts you in
something even more devastating. This is the relatively easiest way
to win, but it's also the cheap way the computer will use to beat
you. Also, some fighters are very good grapplers and will evade most
of your holds. More on that later.

C) By the Judges Decision: When the three 5 minutes rounds are
finished and a winner still haven't been decided, it's down to the
judges to rule it out. They can give a win to either side or declare
it a draw. They will decide the winner based on the fighter that
scored the most points during the match. I never reached the end of a
match decided by a the judges' decision, so I doesn't know how are
the points awarded. But if it mirrors the real life UFC system, it is
a 3 judges, 10 points system (Similar to boxing). The fighter that
showed more aggresivity and that took the initiative in the fight
gets more points.

A draw have a different signification depending on which mode you are
playing in. In the UFC Tournament mode, a draw eliminates both you
and your opponent and so counts as a loss. In Road To The
Championship mode, a draw counts as a succesful title defense. In a
Multi-Player tournament, a draw causes a Do-Over. In Exhibition mode
a draw is just a draw and counts as a moral win or a moral lost,
depending on how big your ego is.

------------------------

(V) The Game Modes

From the title screen, Press the Start button to display the main
menu. Using the UP and Down buttons, select a mode and hit the X
Button to confirm your choice.

A) UFC TOURNAMENT MODE – This mode is the first part of your quest
for UFC superiority. This is an 8 man tournament. But before being
entered in the Final 8, you must win a qualification match. If you
win, you receive your pass to the tournament itself. This is under
single elimination rules, so one lost and you are out of the running.
Winning this mode allows you to use the winning character in the Road
to the championship Mode.

B) ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP MODE – In this mode you must defend your
UFC Tournament championship against up to 18 opponents in a non
tournament, singles match basis. This mode can only be played using
fighters that have won the UFC Tournament. Each time that you win
this mode using a different UFC fighter, you will unlock point to
improve your created fighters.

C) CREATE FIGHTER MODE – This is where you can create your own
fighter. More on this section later.

D) Multiplayer Tournament – Same as UFC Tournament mode but for up to
8 human controlled players at a time. Also, the winner of this
tournament DOES NOT get access to the Road to the championship mode.
If you have enough friends and 2 multitaps adapters, this might be
the most interesting mode.

E) Exhibition Match – One or Two Player mode, 2 fighters, one match,
and that's all. Also, the time options and number of rounds can be
edited in this mode.

F) Big John's Training – This mode lets you train with UFC Referee
Big John McCarthy. All commands that you input are displayed on the
screen and you can access your character's move list from the Pause
Menu. Also from the Pause Menu, you can order Big John to get in a
certain position to practice specific moves. After you select your
fighter, you can edit Big John's skill level. If you want Big John to
just stand there and take the pain you deliver without firing back,
take the Skill Level indicator all the way to the left. The more you
take the Skill Level to the right, the more aggressive will be Big
John.

------------------------

(VI) The Option Mode

This is accessed from the main menu.


Under Game Options:

A) Match Configuration – Sets the number of rounds for the Exhibition
Matches

B) Minutes – Adjusts the amount of time each round will last in
Exhibition Matches

(IX) Game Tips & Strategies

1) Take your opponents off their element. If you fight a grappler
(Coleman,Burnett,Goodridge,Rutten,Rizzo,Jackson,Randleman,Hughes,Kosa
ka, Mezger, Ortiz, Miletich, Horn, Ruas, Williams, Shamrock or
Tanner) fight using a lot of strikes and get back up to your feet as
soon as you can after being took down. If you fight a striker (The
fighters not mentioned above), take them down to the ground and mat
grapple them.

2) If you control a good grappler, take the opponent down as soon as
possible. Basically, the first move you should try is the tackle for
the takedown. Especially good when using Coleman, Ruas and Shamrock

3) If you find yourself stuck on the ground with your back to the
opponent, don't lose time trying to back punch the opponent. IT IS
MANDATORY THAT YOU GET OUT OF THAT POSITION ASAP. Each blow your
opponent will give you to the back of the head is devastating.

4) On the other hand, if you find yourself on top of an opponent
facing the ground, just hit the punch button repeatedly, this is a
sure Knock Out.

5) When practicing with Big John, Start with his skill level at the
lowest and find all your moves using the move list provided in the
Pause Menu. Then practice each of your moves in all position to the
point that you doesn't need to look at the list anymore. Then, get
his skill level to the middle of the gauge. Now, if you can defeat
Big John, you can go in the main mode without worrying

6) You should take one character and always keep it until you beat
the game.

7) Fear the Brazilian squad. Ruas and chums are all deadly. Getting
into a ground war with them is suicidal.

8) Mark Coleman is very good to take you down.

9) The best all around characters to pick are Marco Ruas, Mark
Coleman and Frank Shamrock

10) Don't get into a pattern of doing the same moves over and over
again. The opponent will adjust.

(XII) Frequently Asked Questions

Here, I will put answers to questions that have been asked to me by
E-Mail. If I doesn't know the answer, then I will ask to anybody who
knows the answer to let me know. I will give full credits to people
who give me informations.


Q : In training mode, I notice that every fighter's move list has a
grab-chokehold when the opponent is groggy, but how do I get my
opponent groggy? I thought it was when I hit him on the head and he
falls on his butt, but when I try to do the chokehold then, it
didn't work and I only got an ordinary tackle. Can you explain this?

A : No. I never was able to pull out a groggy move. Anybody that
knows should mail me !
-----
Q: Why is it that sometimes when I block a submission hold, my
character rolls on top of his opponent and sometimes he doesn't ?

A : It depends on who you are fighting as and what is the hold you
tried to block. There's also a little luck involved.
-----
Q: Are there any real fighters as hidden
characters? (eg Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie)

A : No. Sadly.
