I'm surprisingly interested in this game despite last watching dragon ball z when I was a kid. The crazy tournament thing going on right now seems like a lot but having the androids back as good guys is cool.

also I have no idea what the gently caress is anyone talking about ever

Apparently they changed the title screen song. Sounds a lot more DBZ now.

I think that's the last of the trailers, right?

Also, online manual for the open beta. Hope you've been studying your kanji!

I don't think Nappa is a zoning man, his saibamen are more for oki from what we've seen. Frieza and Beerus are really the only two characters we've seen with an emphasis on zoning I think, though some characters have tricky tools/projectiles like Nappa, Piccolo, or Krillin.

The ginyu force kinda looks like they could be useful for zoning but it too seems more like they're for oki rather than being full on dizzy or axel style zoners.

I just want to know who the game's Teddie is, i.e. the one who's not great at combos but excellent at just annoying your enemy to death.

I'm not a fighting-game person but Teddie's baseball bat and rolling ball were constant sources of joy in P4A.

This is useful, thanks. The reflect mechanic seems interesting. Snap-ins only working from Throws/Dragon Rushes seems weird, but as long as everyone can easily combo into it then there shouldn't be any problems.

Non-GG player here with a GG question: Dead angle = Alpha Counter, right? It came up in the smaller mechanic guide and they didn't define it, and looking it up Dead Angles seem a lot like like ACs

Decades and luck. If Beerus had never bothered to come looking for a dream neither Goku or Vegeta would necessarily have been a match for Gold Frieza. And if he hadn't gone rushing to fight them down for his pride, he may still have surpassed them. And even then, he'd have blown up the planet with no reset.

Dead Angles are also very punishable in GG. I'll often stop a pressure string when I'm sure they want to DA out and then just punish, usually puts them in the corner.

Freeza's potential was always bullshitly high due to the way his power escalates all on its own. I think I remember one of the books saying that if he did nothing but sit around eating cheetos and watching Fraiser reruns for 20 years--never once lifting a finger--he'd have been as strong as Perfect Cell. Him putting in actual effort jacks that right the gently caress up.

I imagine if he'd trained for 4 years this arc would have began and ended with him killing both Zen-o's and taking over the multiverse.

So is it safe to assume that there's no more characters to be announced, not counting post release DLC characters?

oh another thought for the dlc: cooler could actually be a legitimate contender. He's got a bunch of fighting related screentime you could base things off of and a transformation that could have interesting gameplay implementations.


also he has eye lasers

The wide speculation is that Android 21 is an unlockable boss character, but otherwise, we seem pretty good on the roster.

They're not showing her because she's gonna have a transformation and turn into a sword or some poo poo I'm guessing and they don't wanna spoil the final fight.

Or maybe I just want the weird disconnect of playing as Nu is a Dragon Ball game.
