Blue Goku & Vegeta footage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv1vh0HcA80

There's a new dragon ball mechanic that hasn't yet been explained and isn't demonstrated in the video, but it seems you earn them by doing combos with hits in multiples of ten? (10-hit gets ball #1, 20-hit gets ball #2, etc)

In the footage here it seems like they increased the damage all around, is it a new build? You can see them burning 3 meter to take off 75 percent health from full. Is it a new build with different scaling, or is it my imagination?

If you've played and lost with Krillin at any point you need to collect all 7 balls and wish him back to life before you can select him again.

Huh that's an interesting point. It could be kinda cool if the calculus of what combo you choose to do depends on whether or not you want to risk your opponent reaching whatever the reward for the dragon balls is.

Looks mostly the same to me but that DHC combo did do a ton of damage. It's three supers done raw into each other though, so maybe the damage scaling is based on move count (not hit count) or maybe there's less scaling on DHCs or supers now specifically.


Also does SSGSS Vegita have a command grab off his homing dash :stare:
E: Oh it looks like some sort of EX move actually, just has the same appearance as a homing dash. That actually sounds super scary to use versus people trying to chicken block.

Oh nice you can also air dash cancel universal overheads while in Sparking so good luck blocking literally anything, good grief.

When they mentioned that Tri-Beam does a lot of damage but drains your health, I immediately thought that that probably means Tien won't be used that often, but hot drat the first hit of Neo Tri-Beam did like 1/3 of Krillin's health! Then he did it again and fired two extra times to kill Krillin and it brought Tien down to ~half health. Could be a hell of a finisher.

I think so, and it makes sense given he's the melee combat guy in a roster of laser gods. I really hope he's viable.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Tien is neo-cable? or reverse phoenix? Save your bars for him and he brings the ToD on whatever sucker he hits since neo tribeam lets you burn everything you got.

Makes sense, Tien has always been the best :smug:

I am so excited for Gotenks' dumb moves to be like...useful in a game like this. Similar to how Yamcha will be a usable character in this, and looks like he'll play like Wolverine.

I think a lot of it is that they really hosed with him visually. Costuming is a huge aspect of character recognition, especially in animated stuff. 17 was recognizable because of the bandanna, the contrasting colors, the fact that he dressed and looked like a teenager but had this scary air about him.

The new costume has muted colors, this kind of off-green blah shirt, no more bandanna. He looks super generic.

Time passes and people put on new clothes. Since the androids dont't age it's kind of the only thing you can do to show off that time has passed.

They are kinda already doing this for Android 18, but I wouldn't mind Captain Ginyu as a character, functioning like Capcom's Captain Commando where each special move set is a different member

Tien loving owns. Perhaps this game is where he will finally get his due since he got hosed over like a drat jabroni in db super.

He def has the position of anchor of the team, save up all your bar for Tien and have him delete someone with neo tri-beam.

So...


All the damage we've seen of neo tri beam is raw super damage. If you're comboing into it, I'm sure it won't be nearly as insane. Though it looks like it may be fast enough to do it on reaction to some things?

Also it's a pretty bad tradeoff to do much more than one, as each one costs larger chunks of your lifebar and deals less damage, AND costs another meter on top of that. Also it's not Blue life either.

I guess the important question is if he can kill himself using it or if it just leaves him at 0 HP.
