It's kind of annoying that it pops up constantly and the game implies consequences if you don't do more dragon ball fetch quests. I did nail's first mission and ignored him since, I feel pretty good about it.

I'm seriously grappling with how to design my next Freezaman I want them to be suitably different from Brisk, who would look atrocious if he ever used the Golden Form power up. I'd honestly have just made a Sayian, but then they had to be assholes and give me a really kickass new mouth plate for Freeza people to use, so of course I have to use the drat thing. I'm trying to plan around two different color schemes, and I KNOW it's going to end up with me going to get the goddamn dragon balls in the end to make it work. really wish you could change the color of Freezaman armor outside of character creation.

Burkion posted:I'm seriously grappling with how to design my next Freezaman At the very least once you have spare character slots, a poor man's solution to testing will be to make throwaway characters for the express purposes of checking out colors results (Or even in Xeno 1, if it's xeno 1 parts) before burning that cosmetics wish on Brisk's eternal rival. On that note, while I'm eyeballing Shaker for my eventual successor to Tray, you've got me thinking of naming a Freiza Nestea (But I'd hate it, because I like Brisk more as a beverage  )

Do enemies later in the game still do nothing but ultimate spam? It was always suuuuuuuuper fun when 2 or 3 enemies would unload one ultimate after the other the entire match, forcing you to respond in kind.

So is anyone else finding that Z ranking missions seems to be a roulette. I'm not that far into the story because I was hammering away at all the training poo poo and gettin' skills. But seriously gently caress that dual great ape mission where you fight Nappa AND Vegeta at the same time. My camera spent 99% of the time in my CaC's anus. I still managed to take no damage, fired of a poo poo load of ki blasts and supers and throws and still only A ranked. I guess I missed an ultimate finish or something.

Yamcha can execute them perfectly but when I try to perform the same task on him, he dodges out early. The Advanced Knoem Em Down mission can die in a fire. I knock him away, follow up, punch him, knock him away, circle dash around behind him and he doesn't have enough momentum for me to smash him again.

I had a hard time with this to. I got the smash and follow up down but the smash after that would just gently caress up the input and start firing ki blasts if he was too far away. I just mashed it until complete. Took like 10 minutes.

I'm not sure about the late late game bosses, but boss fights in general seem to be pretty tough. The first example being the final fight of the Frieza saga. He will use ultimates without spamming, but he also combo locks, stamina breaks and generally kicks your rear end with a variety of different moves.

I have the feeling those assorted frame perfect multi input combo missions were only trained with a single race, gender, size, and level. Further increasing the usual bullshit these kinds of training missions have where things you can even manage to do normally just cancel because "oh you HIT them sure, but it doesn't count because gently caress you". theSpokeyDokey posted:Hope there is a Blue Hurricane then, cause that is the only way that poo poo is gonna happen. Maybe I missed the time attack bonus. If there is you can be drat sure they tweaked it so it doesn't work on Apes so hot anymore. From all the beta footage I've seen, all the work on Apes has skimped on their hitboxes being iffy or how a lot of On Contact trigger attacks just plain don't register on them. But seem to have still put effort into making sure they don't take quite as much damage as you'd expect from other stuff.

I'm absolutely okay with being outclassed, so that sounds like a definite improvement, at least wherever you're at in the story. My main problem with Xenoverse was, especially in PQs like Super Saiyan bargain sale, you'd either get stunlocked by ultimates, or have to actively engage in an ultimates battle. I got through it, but I felt dirty having to use perfect kame over and over.

My encounter with every boss basically boiled down to: "Kick them repeatedly until they go flying, teleport in front of them, using a super move that hits, repeat." Culminating with Beerus's beam that stamina-breaks because you can almost infinitely combo that into itself.

Well, with the change in how Super Saiyan form works (it no longer gives infinite Ki), I imagine that kind of bullshit is less prevalent but  Enemies getting free, permanent Super Saiyan was such a terrible design decision in 1.

Well, looks like they found their replacement crutch for the god of destruction no longer having super armor  I can imagine that move being real popular with players, if it breaks stamina it probably works great even on a strike build.EDIT: Speaking of stamina breaks. Do they just wholesale remove all your stamina, or does having a bunch of stamina bars actually matter? Considering you have to wait for your bars to fill back up, it can give the impression more stamina is possibly detrimental unless you use something that relies on lots of bars (Kaioken... probably gonna have a rough time with stamina break lasers around).

Super Vanishing Ball is better against the apes than Blue Hurricane. Hurricane doesn't have that c-c-c-combo breaker stun lock to knockout that it did in XV1. OTOH, Super Vanishing Ball will get like 22 hits, break stamina, and do a hefty chunk of damage. Also, my character is strictly melee so that tells you how much they nerfed Blue Hurricane. negromancer fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Oct 26, 2016 |

Also unless they have fixed it since the beta, having more stamina bars makes it take longer to recover from a break so its a detriment past like 5 bars.

Clever Spambot posted:Also unless they have fixed it since the beta, having more stamina bars makes it take longer to recover from a break so its a detriment past like 5 bars.  Yeah that's about what I expected. Though it's filed under "Disappointed they didn't improve that", more than anything, since I am still exited for the game and the stuff they DID improve  Though that does sound kinda rough for Namekians wanting to take advantage of their stamina powered transform, or taking that claim "Nameks have high stamina generation!" at face value. It wouldn't have been quite so bad if there were just normal stamina break moves only, and NPCs actually followed all the rules. Being able to see their bars doesn't mean they aren't getting a leg up, after all. gfsincere posted:Super Vanishing Ball is better against the apes than Blue Hurricane.

Also, my character is strictly melee so that tells you how much they nerfed Blue Hurricane. I love the style of Strike Supers. But I can hardly ever bring myself to go all in with Strike Super Stat despite constantly using some because of stuff like this, alongside their generally short ranged nature making them often wildly impractical to impossible to use for many of them. (Mach kick was quite the letdown. Though I wonder if Xeno 2's hitbox changes mean I won't simply have all my ki attacks harmlessly wiff through their ragdolling body when I try to use the cancel into second move trick) Throw in great apes being a much bigger personal risk up close, and Expert Ape having a huge damage AoE every time their stamina comes back up... yeah. But while basic melee builds are more practical due to their in built ability to always combo with itself... Investing 100 in basic combos is just too boring for me to want, even when I'm getting my rear end handed to me by said builds. (My favorite characters were a less than optimal 50/50/50 mix build. and a 50/100 Basic/Ki guy who still used some strike supers, on that note). On a lighter note, in theory no more super armor means Strike Supers can be used more offensively rather than not wanting to risk using them without getting punched in the dick by an unflinching enemy. And if the feel of using them is more practical due to that, hopefully that means I'll be able to more activly enjoy a Strike Supers first and foremost build this time around. It was always the awkwardness of following up, or how many moves just plain didn't trigger against super armor or giant apes. More than damage potential, that always bugged me. After all. So if I can trust busting out a bigger variety of Strike moves without them just aiming at a 45 degree angle upwards while the enemy I was hitting plummets downwards, that would be great.

Man I'm glad they made the Namek stuff way more bearable. No stupid 'forced to play as Ginyu and protect people made of glass' mission, the whole 'fight Frieza like four times in a row as more people join in' is much faster without super armor and with damage carrying over and all. I hope this means the other annoying bits got carved out too.
