BJJ Ground Transition not working!?

[Eom85]

I am trying to learn my UT Fighter moves, but came across a move that I can't seem to pull off:

BJJ TRANSITION (Level1) - Full Guard Posture Up to side control transition

Neither in training or fights do I ever get the option in Posture up to go into side control. Not with L1 or L2 or anything.

Is this a bug?

That is a set up move. Many of the special transitions are. You need a onsiderable stamin advantage agaisnt the opponent, fo rthe move to become available. It's just the regular pass to HG, which gets upgraded to a pass to SC.

Ah okay, thanks! I also realised that some moves become available in the split second the opponent tries a certain transition.

Is there any type of tutorial where this is mentioned or explained!? Are there other things to "know" about the ground game?

[Solid_Altair]

There are plenty. I hope someone can refer you to a tutorial for the special moves.

If you play for a while, you will probably get used to a bunch of them. Some things are indeed very contextual. The Jacaré pass, for instance, requires that you're FG postured, a stamina advantage, that the opponent tries a feet on hips transition an dthat you pass to the side towards the cage.
