A little observation of mine of KTFO

[Hamza305]

Hi guys. This is my first ever thread so please excuse me if any errors are detected or anything like that.

My UFC 2010 KTFO Trophy Theory/Observation

YouTube - UFC Undisputed 2010: Wanderlei Silva vs. Chris Leben [Kay. Tee. Eff. Oh!]

After watching the above video, I compared that method to the method I hade gotten my KTFO trophy. (I had it long ago but I couldn't post my theory because i had never signed onto this site). Anyways, i noticed a lot of things between the above video and the way I did it in which IMO have to done to obtain the KTFO Trophy. In short what I did was GSP VS Koscheck, 3 Rounds, Experienced Difficulty. Here is my theory-

1)The opponent has to be attended by the doctors whilst the result/decision of the match is being announced at the endA no-brainer this. Countless threads saying the opponent must be attended to by doctors to obtain the trophy and it's true, this must happen at the end of the match

2)Stuff all takedowns
Believe it or not, a flash KO technically occurs in a toe 2 toe battle with one fighter getting caught clean without ever knowing they were hit. You can't attempt a takedown to take the fight to the ground otherwise your chances of getting the trophy are lowered (you'll end up dealing damage on the ground instead of standing up). If you watch the video, Leben stuffs ALL 3 of Silva's takedowns and during my match, Koscheck attempted a takedown which i ended up stuffing and that was the only ever attempt of one in the fight. So try not to attempt a takedown, keep the fight standing.

3) Don't bob and weave
Another surprise one. You might think bobbing and weaving creates a window for counter punching your opponent into a flash KO but the game fails to recognise that. Instead, what i did was either simply block Koschecks punches or take them (not wise to take them :P). The video above supports my blocking method as Silva doesn't bob and weave to counter-punch into a KO win; he blocks.

4) Alternate strikes
Switch up your striking throughout the fight. If you keep targeting the head or body TOO much, your opponent will get rocked and there goes your KTFO Trophy out of the window. Hit the body the follow up with 2-3 shots the head and vice versa.

5) Don't always trust the Beginner Difficulty
Now, some people might have got the trophy on Bignner, but IMO i wouldn't recommend playing on this because the CPU tends to become a human punching bag. Since he'll be virtually throwing no strikes at all, you won't have a chance to counter back so you'll basically end up rocking him. I had mine on Experienced and Koscheck was throwing more strikes at me than the amount of eggs Nick Griffin got pelted with.

6) Hit back with power shots
Another no-brainer basically since a jab isn't flash KO anyone (well it can really, in reality, besides the point lol). The video above finishes with Silva landing a sweet hook to Leben to drop him; i ended my match with a killer right hand spinning back fist to Koschecks jaw, with him dropping like a bag of dog s***. However, pepper you opponent with the occasional jabs throught the match to slightly weaken his face in order to set up towards the big finish.

7) Unlocks after a certain period/Luck
In essence, the Trophy is all luck however, i do think these pointers help increase your chances in getting it quicker rather than waiting in the wings of the time hoping it pops up. I might be wrong but there is a little probability that the Trophy will only unlock after you've played the game for a number of hours - i got mine after playing the game for 22 hrs and 22 mins. Key thing though - be patient.

So, there you go,my first ever thread. Hope you enjoyed it and I greatly hope that this little observation of mine can assist those who don't have the Trophy in getting it sooner rather than later. PM me if y'all need any extra assistance. I'll try to update the method ASAP if I find another variable affecting the Trophy.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Thanks for all the info!

I tried to do this yesterday, because I read various posts that they had gotten it (on Xbox 360, though) on the Tryout Gym with Brock Lesnar vs. Eddie Sanchez (Beginner difficulty). I tried this a dozen times, even with the elbow tactic but it just didn't work. Usually I rocked him, even when I just waited sometime so I didn't hit him too much. But I actually K.O.'d him several times without rocking him, on the first round, even under 2 mins and EVEN with a elbow counter (okay, I'm not sure was it a counter but an elbow for sure). NOTHING!

I hate this trophy...

[Zetberg]

I got mine:

- On beginner Difficulty
- With my opponent up at the winner decision

So yeah. I got really lucky with this trophy as I made another account to figure out a reliable way to get it. I still don't have it on my other account xD. Anyway, I hope this observation will help a lot of players.

Also, I wonder how some people who have gotten the trophy, K.O.'d their opponent with just two elbow strikes. I have never ended a fight in under 10 seconds, and with just 2 punches... WTF?

[Hamza305]

Thanks guys for the input so far. I'll try to make more useful posts

Great guide man! Will help many people. One thing I did was counter with the same fist he used, if you get me. He throws a right you throw a right etc.

Got the trophy today after the new patch (1.35, was it?)!! I went to Exhibition with Brock vs. Eddie, on Tryout gym (with random referee, that turned out to be Mario Yamasaki) with Beginner difficulty.

I tried a couple of times, carefully not to rock the opponent, but I only K.O.'d him twice without rocking him and he was already bleeding way too much back then (his stamina was under the half of full stamina), so no trophy. Then I was just doing my routine, running at him and doing elbows, when it hit me. HE FELL DOWN WITH 4 STRIKES and then I realized it was really a K.O. I was like WTF.

So what happened there was that I quess Eddie was about to get rocked but the screen didin't turn gray because he already fell down K.O.'d. I quess that's the "Flash K.O.", because I indeed saw a "flash" or something. At first I thought he just got rocked but he didn't stand up and the screen stayed normal. 5 second K.O. and the trophy popped! And in the cutscene, Eddie was lying on the ground while I was announced as winner (so this is truly confirmed, it has to be this way). But I quess he always stays down when you get the Flash K.O.

I don't think it's glitched. I mean, I never got a Flash K.O. (the screen is about to turn gray but it doesn't and the guy gets K.O.'d) before when I was going for the trophy. It may be glitched that way that a Flash K.O. doesn't occur that easily even if you meet the requirements. But when you get the Flash K.O., you'll surely get the trophy.

What I did to win this guy - it was like my 5th or 6th try after the patch - I just run at him with Brock, hit a one right-handed strike (I quess with L1 holded + ) and after that I did 3 elbows with the right hand. They all hit him and on the 3rd elbow he was about to hit me, but my elbow counter-hit him and K.O.'d him.


There's my story, lol. I'm so happy to finally get this trophy. Maybe the patch made a Flash K.O. occur more often?
