Master Spinning Backfists & Kicks in EA Sports UFC 5 Like a Pro!

In the realm of mixed martial arts video games, EA Sports UFC 5 stands alone as the ultimate choice for fans, offering them an opportunity to experience the octagon alongside their favorite fighters. Since its launch, the game has consistently received updates, making it a great time for newcomers to dive in now that EA Sports UFC 5 has been incorporated into EA Play. Subscribers of Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play can jump right into the action without any additional fees, engaging in both singleplayer and multiplayer modes.

If you’ve developed a knack for fighting, it would be wise to refine your striking techniques further. The striking system in EA Sports UFC 5 offers a rich, fluid experience that adapts based on the fighters you select. Flashy moves like spinning backfists and kicks can catch your opponents off guard in the thick of the fight. While these moves can inflict significant damage, they also make your character susceptible to counters if used incorrectly or in awkward positions. Dive into this guide to grasp the fundamentals of spinning backfists and other spinning strikes in EA Sports UFC 5.

How to Spin

The initial move in executing any type of spinning attack involves creating the spin first. You have the freedom to initiate this spin at any point during combat. Performing the spin alone, without following it with a strike, serves as a deception tactic to keep your opponent off-balance. Press the button combinations provided below to execute your spin.

  • PS5 – Rear Spin: X + O, Lead Spin: L1 + X + O
  • Xbox – Rear Spin: A + B, Lead Spin: LB + A + B

In simpler terms, when executing a rear spin, your fighter rotates on their back foot, delivering the strike using their stronger side. Conversely, during a lead spin, they twist in the opposite direction, resulting in a strike from their front hand or leg.

How to Throw Spinning Backfists & Kicks

After you’ve started making your fighter spin, quickly press another button to execute a strike. Immediately after initiating a spin move with your character, press a face button for an attack. The moves may vary depending on the fighter you are currently controlling. Keep in mind that a wrestler won’t typically perform jumping spinning kicks.

  • PS5: Spinning Backfist – X + O + Triangle, Spinning Back Kick – X + O + O
  • Xbox: Spinning Backfist – A + B + Y, Spinning Back Kick – A + B + B

As I dive into the world of EA Sports UFC 5, let me experiment with different buttons to unleash various attacks. Pressing those shoulder buttons will bring on jumping strikes and whirling body attacks for a more dynamic gameplay!
