Yeah, I'm kinda leaning toward PC solely for the longevity of it being available long after I pack up my PS4, but then again hackers and crappy community size by comparison, but also then again the potential for sweet, sweet mods so I can finally fulfill my dream of playing as Bubbles in a video game.

My tentative main is gonna be 18 and Kid Buu, and I'll have to get a feel for who I want as my third. Maybe Black or Beerus.

Any of the new footage confirm if you can choose your assist now or if assists just changed?

There was an interview linked earlier in the thread, each character just has one assist move, so they must have just changed at some point in development.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.


This character select is aesthetically infuriating. Obviously they left spots for the DLC + Blue Goku & Vegeta but they're REALLY blatant about it. Plus the character order makes zero sense.

Even leaving the weird spacing it should be something like

Krillin - Tien - Yamcha - Teen Gohan - Goku // Vegeta - Trunks - Gotenks - Piccolo - Adult Gohan
Buu - Black - Frieza - Cell - Buu
Hit - Beerus - 18 // 16 - Ginyu - Nappa

poorly arranged character select screens bug the gently caress out of me

Eh... I guess looking at it vertically yeah that makes sense. It still looks bad though. 16, 18, and Hit being on that side doesn't help. Like I know they were all on the side opposite Goku at various points but still.

Fat Buu and 18 are both good guys now, Hit might as well be too. Weird placement.

This Max guy sounds so excited for the game now, but wasn't he lukewarm about it when he played the beta and MvC:I was just out? Or did I just imagine that?

Yamcha's shiteating grin in his victory pose was great.

Should've switched Trunks and Adult Gohan's place in the roster so Piccolo would truly be surrounded by his kids. :3:

I'm not sure about disliking DBFZ, but I know Max was probably very enthusiastic about MvC:I when it came out as he was a huge fan of MVC3 and it's what got his youtube/streaming career off the ground. So I can see him being very optimistic about MvC:I around its release for personal and professional reasons.

Also the beta was several months ago and was an older build. It's not odd that a person's opinion would change with new information.

Max liked the beta. His big worry was "all these characters so far kinda play the exact same without much setting them apart. I hope that changes."

Which has now transformed into the understandable "god I hope this dragonball mechanic doesn't ruin the competitive life of the game."

This, he's a insanely popular lower effort streamer. Comes across as a friendly guy who's into what he likes though so can't fault him there.

For people with platform concerns, the core group of goon FG players usually leans PC when the option is available, and if a game doesn't suck you can usually find matches for it in Discord for a good long while.

His main concern over the Dragon Ball mechanic is whether it'll make matches go on too long, but I'd have to think that'd be something you could turn off for comp play.

Endorph

The dragon ball mechanic really seems too hard to execute on to ruin the competitive life of the game. It's on the same level as like, Danger Time from Xrd.

That too, we still don't know exactly what triggers the Dragon Balls, but it doesn't seem like something that's easy to do.

You unlock the ball corresponding to the tens place of a combo you finish, then when they're all out you press a command first to make a wish.

I can't remember where I saw this but it was something like the 10s digit of your combo will give you that ball if it's not already taken, but that could have been made up.
