How do I get Parallel Quest 6?

# ¿ Feb 27, 2015 05:27

cams: Mar 28, 2003

haha okay the amount of grinding required to get certain things, especially mission rewards, is silly. ran mission 5 like 10 times so far to get "giant storm", no luck. in fact, only gotten nappa to spawn once despite completing the mission in under 5 minutes every time.

So, there are all those Z-Attribute things from mentors that say they increase damage of "skill powers associated with (whoever)". Is there any way at all to know which skills are associated with which people?

I presume it's as simple as "use the skills they teach you"

yeah but there are also ones for characters who can't mentor you. for instance, i got ones for jeice and berter that give bonus damage to their powers and skills but i'll be god damned if i know what those are

so, if i were to delete my level 32 dude i've been playing all day, what all would i lose? as i understand it, the ONLY thing tied to each individual character is their level and how you've specced them, but i may be completely wrong.

Once you unlock them hit square on the character select screen to see what their moves are. You can get those moves as loot from the parallel quests

So does this mean that any moves any "costume" of that character can use?

For people worrying about data becoming desynched or whatever from playing in offline mode (to avoid getting disconnected every 10 minutes), you're fine. The stuff you do in offline mode will remain when you reconnect online.

I actually did this and you keep your place in the main story progression and you keep your items and zeni but you start from a low level again, so no do-overs.

Leveling in this game is super fast though, so I think unless you're REALLY high level, it's not a bad idea to just make a new dude if you want to respec/remake.

Anyone got tips for Z-Ranking PQ08?

# ¿ Feb 28, 2015 00:17

cams: Mar 28, 2003

Has anyone compiled a list of all the post-fight bonuses to get higher ranks on quests? Managed to beat PQ08 by doing it alone (points), getting a 20 hit combo (points), 3 throws (points), 3 guard breaks (points), defeating 10 enemies (points), and finishing with at least 80% health (points).

Would make things a lot easier if I knew all the various ways to get points.

Trying to Z-Rank PQ09 is going to be hell. Goku only revives about 1/3 of the time if you hit the bonus objective and it is entirely likely that he kills the AI Vegeta because he has unlimited evasion bursts and will use them over and over (literally, I saw him chain them 3 in a row without moving otherwise).

All this combined with the fact that there are barely enough points to earn to get Z, gonna be loving hell.

New record: Within a 40 seconds period, Goku used his burst 12 times. Vegeta died. This is stupid.

I asked about evaluation criteria in here and got no reply, so I hate you all and I hope you all choke.

In the meantime, I started a list myself that I hope will be helpful to anyone trying to Z-Rank everything like I am. Though, I have to say, the fact that your mentor's mission ranks are saved and are unrepeatable is going to bug the poo poo out of me. I got bad grades with a lot of my mentors

Defeated X enemies (3, 5, 10)
Defeated the last enemy
Defeated last enemy while transformed
Defeated a strong enemy
Hit with X Ki Blasts (20)
Performed X throws (3)
Remaining Health greater than X (80%)
Ally characters' Health greater than X (80%)
Fought by yourself
Cleared within X min. (3)
Did a of X hits or more (20)
Never KO'd (requires team)
Caused the most damage (requires team)
Defeated the most enemies (requires team)
Hit from behind X times (10)
Defeated enemy stronger than you
Attack accuracy X or greater (80%)
Hit with Ultimate Attacks X times (5)
Defeated last enemy with Ultimate Attack
Defeated 3 enemies with Ultimate Attacks

Obviously there are way more, I'm sure, these are just the ones I've seen and recorded.

It's a reward for one of the PQs, but it also becomes available in the item shop once you get far enough in the story (pretty early)

"Females can use Z Assists more frequently"

i have no idea what a z assist is and i beat this game

edit: lol, so when you make a new character, the items on your other character stay equipped to them (have to unequip them before putting them on another character) for some dumbshit reason.

90% of the time, when I hit the "vanish" button, I vanish in place rather than vanishing and reappearing behind them. The tutorial makes no mention of holding a direction or anything else to manipulate this, only says "vanish to go behind them".

Kind of a shame that the game kind of devolves into spamming ki supers towards the "endgame" since every boss just blocks poo poo they should absolutely not be able to block while you have a huge delay for your own blocks. Going toe to toe making strike specials and doing normal combos feel like a waste of time. Maybe I need to get kaioken x20 since I'm a filthy Namek? Every win condition in PQs are tied to speed and since only ki specials put a dent in the energy of enemies, I find that it's the only thing allowing me to be fast enough. Am I wrong in this?

It's garbage and makes me think the only thing viable is SSJ2 ki special spam. I don't care though, I'll try to play my way and look as badass as possible while doing so.

The AI in this game absolutely does not have the restrictions of a player. All AI can block forever without running out of stamina, they can spam evasion ultras forever, they can spam REGULAR ultras forever (once you beat the game and try and do Kid Trunks' PQ this will be extra hilarious). The AI in this game is absolutely unfair so yeah.

Really though if it wasn't this game would be comically easy, just dash into XXXXX-teleport combo, fire Ki Ultra when they're on the ground so it hits them when they wake up, gg.

Z-Assists are when your mentor shows up to help you with your ultimate attack(Mentors only help with the ultimate they gave you, so vegeta-final flash, piccolo-special beam cannon, etc).

do you have to have them along on the mission? cause i trained with piccolo first and i've been using special beam cannon forever and not a single time have i seen this happen

Anyone found really good skills for doing a pure basic melee build? Super Drain (the only stamina drain I have right now), Fighting Pose E (atk boost), and Final Pose (evasion with atk boost) are all I really have right now that help the build.

It really bums me out that Super Saiyan isn't really useful for this build since male Saiyans get a bonus to basic atk damage.

Also, how does Dancing Parapara work? It seems like people were saying it does a stun if you time it right but I have not been able to do that.

So what's this method for infinite Super Saiyan? This is something my beautiful Saiyan princess would appreciate.

from gamefaqs

"Frieza 1st Form Z-soul (I'll never Forgive You ,Scum!)+super attack(Holstein shock) +Ult Transformation skill(ss1.ss2 etc..)+Energy battle item. Start by using your super to lower all your health let the cpu kill you then. use energy battle item and transform and have fun staying super saiyan."

Is there even a reason to get z-ranks or is it just completionism?

higher rank means you got more points which means you got more xp

also people think that higher rank = better chance of getting drops

I'm confused by how you're supposed to get 7 Dragon Balls as the 'secret mission' on PQ08. I defeat Guldo and then as soon as I deliver 3 the mission ends. Hell only 3 show up on my dragon radar. I destroyed some houses as well and nothing. Even if I could find the others I'm still confused on how you're supposed to deliver 7 when delivering 3 ends the scenario and you can only carry 2 at a time.

the extra part of that pq is triggered by killing goldo before gathering all the dragon balls. all of the extra parts of pq's only have a chance of triggering, they won't always happen. keep doing it. forever.

Gameplay, cac and everything is so so good but I honestly don't remember a game that has made me want to break my controller as often as this one does.

Random Freiza grunts being playable is the dumbest poo poo over actual characters.

My other big complaint besides literally everything being RNG in quests is the sever lack of music. It's so quiet.

nobody's gonna pay dlc money for random frieza grunts.

my biggest complaint about this game just like almost every game i play ever is the lack of documented mechanical information on what exactly is going on. the biggest and simplest one that INFURIATES me is the loving hex readout of your stats rather than numbers ANYWHERE. "hey, let me see if my cac has more ki blast power than ssj4 vegeta! well, let me just hold a trading card on my monitor to indicate where my ki blast is for my cac..."

The more I play the more I think specializing in strike supers is objectively inferior to ki supers. The only real advantage I see in strikes over ki is that there are some neat utility options in strike, like the stamina stealing one, the guard break one, and... That is all that comes to mind.

Yeah but you can absolutely combo into ki blasts as well. Unless there are multi-skill combos with strikes I am unaware of.
