I do, invested at least 50 in health on my Ki super spamming sayian chick. Gotta have some health or even a level one character could push your poo poo in.

As a Kaioken Striker, I'm investing the gently caress out of Stamina.

I really wish weight didn't have such an effect - I'm not normally one to try and min-max this kind of game but a 33% cut to half of my modes of fighting hurts a lot, and basically makes respeccing a thin/heavy character feel kind of fruitless...

Yeah, I could just roll another character, but that's not the point.

Doesn't seem to be. Pretty disappointing, since it would have been a good default clothing option for Saiyans, so they wouldn't just share their base outfit with Humans.

If you are a Super Saiyan, Ki is your bloodline, and you should usually always focus on killing your enemy over having a ton of health as they don't scale favorably for survival.

If you only have access to Kaioken, Stamina is your lifeline.

There's strategy to not invest in it, because some skills/race bonuses require a full bar. Definitely don't invest Stamina as a Ki super saiyan because if and when you run out of ki, your stamina needs to fully refill.

The glass cannon builds exist because with the correct skills and z souls you have more than enough health even at minimal investment to beat the hardest PQs in the game.

I mean, it's a terrible idea in PvP, but then so are tonnes of things, see: Kaioken.

You don't need your stamina refilled to go Super Saiyan. You only need 3 bars of Ki.

This is a gamefaqs post where someone categorized supers and ultimates by color. I kind of love it. It's so you can make a character that only uses one color of ki attacks.

That's great because I've been doing that with my ladybuu and her purple charge aura. Can't use anything that's not purple or pinkish enough to pass for purple.

Luckily, this allows me access to Ultra Fighting Bomber, so it works well.

At least it's better then Budokai 3 or half the DBZ games that just called everything a kamehameha.

I remember one of the buu's tossed a vanishing ball and it was called "teleporting kamehameha"

Wasn't this called Vanishing Kamehameha and actually involved him teleporting like, behind the person or something and using a Kamehameha? Or maybe he threw the ball, then teleported into the sky and blasted a Kamehameha at the ball while the opponent was trying to hold it back?

I feel like it was his Ultimate.

Blue Hurricane is seriously awesome but I still get hosed in the PQ kid Trunks gives you from the overworld even though I used it to beat Super Saiyan Bargain Sale. Echoing what was said earlier - if a Saiyan asks you a favor, run the gently caress away.

Also still having issues with Bardock, even with Blue Hurricane. I haven't picked up Taunt yet, has anyone tried it? Does it take aggro off Bardock in any meaningful way?

I want to unlock Bardock so I can take him and Krillin on missions together. It'll be strait-up awesome.

Not quite. Goku's own Warp Kamehameha is indeed that, he charges a Kamehameha, teleports behind the enemy then shoots it at close-distance. In the Budokai series, though, Kid Buu's finishing move is also named Warp Kamehameha but it has literally no warping, he starts by shooting a Super Vanishing Ball, and while the opponent is trying to hold it back, he follows it with a gigantic Kamehameha that swallows both the SVB and the opponent. I suspect that it's an error in the game and it wasn't meant to have that name, since it makes little sense.

Too bad he never got to actually lance a tyrant with that move. Bardock was space Yamcha, same as Radditz.

Though I guess he concievably could have invaded worlds that incidentally had tyrants he could have killed.

His moves are all stupidly named. I think the ki attack I'm trying to get is called like Riot Javelin or something. Tyrant Lancer is just a cool move where you move forward a little bit, and shoot a one-handed blue beam that knocks back. The beam travels fast and it looks cool but the start-up kind of sucks. I also don't see the point of an attack that moves you forward, but knocks the opponent back - it'd be better if it didn't so you can move into melee range.

I think his melee "I'm charging at you and my body is the projectile" is the best of those sorts.
