ULTIMATE TECHNIQUES
RIGHT UPPERCUT
Level 3—Single Collar Tie, Muay Thai Clinch
This is an easy position to attain and a powerful, Level 3 punch that punishes opponents. Clinch and whale.
RIGHT ROLLING SOBBAT
Level 2—Both Standing, Striking Range
A perfect end to a punch combination or, even better, as a counter body kick to an opponent, this back spin kick is a great technique kick that you can fire while backing up from a charging opponent.
STRONG RIGHT KNEE TO BODY
Level 2—Double Underhook Cage, Offense
If you push your opponent back to the cage, unload on the body with strong knees. Follow with a suplex if you want to take it to the ground or finish it on your feet.
STRENGTHS
- Knockout power
- Aggressive style
- World-class experience
Gilbert “The Hurricane”Yvel is a Muay Thai fighter in the European tradition.
Keep the fight standing and in the clinch to mow through opponents with strong punches and Muay Thai kicks and knees.
Don’t turn matches into grappling battles, as his wrestling and ground grappling attributes fall into the 60s. Yvel is great at multiple ranges on his feet.
Mix it up from kicking range and shoot into the clinch by pressing the Height Modifier trigger to grapple toward your opponent.
Transition to the Muay Thai Clinch and unload heavy strikes to quickly damage your opponent. This is Yvel’s most favorable position in the game.
WEAKNESSES
- Grappling
- Wrestling
This guy is a kickboxer, plain and simple. For a fighter with an overall rating of just 84, he has dangerous kicks that will punish you in the clinch, but he is by no means a wrestler.
Take him down as quickly as possible and fire some ground-and-pound from the top.
Most fighters will have the grappling advantage over him on the ground, so transition to a preferred position and work for a submission.
He does have decent ground striking if he gets in a dominant position. Simply transition out of bad spots and keep the fight on the ground.
