Fighter cut from UFC 2009 because of ... his hair?

Do you just like to throw the word "mediocre" for any game that isn't your style? IMO Undisputed has been the closest to doing UFC any justice. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of intricate controls for almost every given situation.

THQ apologizes for not making quarter circle forward, to do fireballs.

Haha yeah Im like 3-0 online with Fedor! Some guy online was like, "how did you unlock Fedor?" I said I made him lmao! Did you see the Couture, Jon Jones, Bas Rutten, Randleman, Shamrock and Carwin? Great creations but it takes time so I'm making 1 everyday. I wish Joystiq would let us post html or url pics.

"Why doesn't anyone complain that they had to remove the southpaw stance as well for the same reason?"

Great point. I've heard that is going to be fixed via patch but I don't really believe it. It's a shame but until my friend pointed out to me that Silva was fighting orthodox I didn't even notice. I know and I'll turn in my MMA geek card at the door. To me that is a really big deal and a much larger issue than the Guida thing.

I'm curious as to why Couture was omitted from the final roster. Maybe he was one of the few UFC fighters that wasn't required to sign away his likeness.

Now that Machida is LHW champion I wonder if they are going to patch in a pee drinking mini game.

Haha yeah, I read about that this weekend. They could patch that into Career mode right alongside sparring.

My guess for Couture was that they couldn't sign him when he left UFC for that year, decided not to put him in the game, then by the time he came back it was too late to add him in. Although they are adding Bader and Escudero in, so who knows, I could be 100% wrong on the time part. Could be the likeness issue then.

uR m0m!!1!

Or ring girl Arianny Celeste. It's one of the two.

Just some chick. She isn't anyone special in the organization. Well, she is probably special but in a different kind of way.

That's Arianny Celeste. A UFC Ring Girl. She's Mexican BTW. Soooooooo hot! Want to touch the hiney!

Logan is plain as fuck BTW. Not even in Logan/Ariannys league.

She's also a quarter Phillipino as she stated in her Maxim shoot vid so thats why she has that asian look.

I have 2 issues with the game. Quitting in ranked and the fact that someone can keep you in the mount postion over and over and over again without getting tired of blocking you when you try to transition.

There are players out there that only try to do this and thats stupid as hell. I'm like why are you even playing if your just going to do the same move? Yesterday I had someone quit on me on a player match right when I beat him. I sent him a message asking him why would he quit in A PLAYER MATCH?!! lmao! I love everything else about it. I love when someone is commited to mixing it up and the fight goes everywhere. Awesome stuff!

I think that was just for cloth not hair. The cloth does look really great though.

maybe they could make this guy wear a bandana in the game? ahahahah.

Kos' hair is just a little frizzy on top, Clay's flops around in front of his face. His hair would have to move to be in the game and if you punched his hair it would register a hit.

I guess it all depends on the engine and the priority of those effects to the designers. There are some games that do hair simulations really well so it's not like the consoles can't handle them. But, if you are looking for super realistic hair that is pretty much independent of each straind then you are going to be waiting for a while. I also can't wait for the true next big breakthrough in physics simulations. The graphics are getting there and eventually there will be a breakthrough in hair, skin, grass, sand etc etc.

I just don't think it's a big priority especially if the scope of the game is so large that other things take precedent. The game Flower had some really nice physics with the grass and stuff.

I did computer animation in college and just to model, animate and render that stuff out was very difficult so I could't imagine a rig that could handle that type of simulation in real time in game. But, I don't know much about game design other than a few characters and levels we created in college. My forte was more of compositing and video editing. Now I sell real estate ... go figure.

hahaha. You would take one swing at the guy and wake up 5 minutes later wondering what the hell happened, nursing a broken jaw.

Nice comment though, asshat. Give the man the respect he deserves.

Christ, it was a joke. You know nothing about me "asshat." Get over yourself.

I'm just going to play Devils Advocate here. I know you think THQ sucks but lets look at the games you mentioned.

UFC Undisputed 85 metacritic average
Saints Row 1 has an 81 metacritic average
Saints Row 2 has an 82 metacritic average
Smackdown vs Raw 2009 has an 79 metacritic average
Legends of Wrestlemania has a 71 metacritic average

So, from that list all of their are above average except for one which is just below average. Sometimes perception is far worse than reality. Now, I haven't played the wrestling games so I cant speak about their quality but the other three games are quite good.
