Okay, folks, let’s talk about my experience with UFC 4 and how I found the best fighting style that worked for me.
I started this game like most people, I guess. Just picking a style that looked cool and jumping right in. I tried a few different ones, like a boxer, a kickboxer, and even that wrestler guy. Each one had its own feel, you know? Like, the boxer was all about those hands, quick jabs and hooks, while the wrestler was all about takedowns and ground control. I spent hours with each style, trying to get a feel for the moves, the timing, and all that.

But then, I hit a wall. I was getting my butt kicked online. It felt like no matter what style I picked, there was always someone who had an answer for it. The boxers were getting taken down by wrestlers, the kickboxers couldn’t handle the brawlers, and so on. It was a mess!
So, I started looking around, reading what other players were saying. You know how it is, forums, chats, videos – I checked them all. And that’s when I stumbled upon this “virtuoso” archetype.
- I started to experiment with it.
- I focused on learning all the different moves and combos.
- I practiced mixing up my strikes and takedowns, keeping my opponents guessing.
At first, it was tough. This style isn’t about being super strong in one area, but being okay at everything. It took a lot of practice to get the hang of switching between striking, clinching, and grappling. I lost a lot of fights in the beginning, no lie.
But I kept at it. I watched replays of my matches, trying to see where I messed up. I practiced specific moves over and over again in the training mode. Slowly but surely, I started to see improvement. I was winning more fights, and even when I lost, I felt like I was putting up a better fight.
The thing about the “virtuoso” style is that it makes you unpredictable. You can throw a punch, shoot for a takedown, or go for a submission, all in the same round. It keeps your opponent on their toes, and that’s a huge advantage.
My Results
After weeks of grinding, I finally felt like I had a good grasp of the “virtuoso” style. I was winning way more than I was losing, and I was having a lot more fun with the game. I even managed to climb up the ranks in the online mode, which was something I never thought I’d do.

So, that’s my story. It took time, effort, and a lot of getting punched in the face, but I eventually found a fighting style that works for me in UFC 4. It’s not just about picking a style that looks cool, it’s about finding one that fits your playstyle and being willing to put in the work to master it.
