Pressure in this game is way more similar to BB than GG so the closest you'll probably get is dropping a lockdown assist on their wakeup.

I'm very unfamiliar with BB. Anything like Skullgirls? I had quick look back at that over the holiday and remembered how fun Valentine/Parsoul pressure was.

While DBFZ is a 3v3 fighters like Skullgirls, it isn't really like Skullgirls. Similar to how Skullgirls isn't really like Marvel despite both being 3v3 games. DBFZ is really its own thing.

The closest thing to Valentine is that every character has "Dragon Rush", which is a move where they quickly fly across screen (though not as fast as Valentine, and the move automatically homes to your opponent). Beerus has orbs that, I believe, you can set around the stage so if your opponent runs into them they get hurt. Which is sort of like Parasoul's bubbles?

The best way to explain the game is that it plays just like Dragon Ball Z. Imagine the most direct way to translate the show's feel into a 2D fighter, and you have Dragon Ball FighterZ.

I think Vegeta' assist is when he is up in the air dropping a bunch of projectiles? Either way lots of characters can do this when you control them.

You want Krillin. He can shoot ki blasts straight downward, throw rocks at an arc, and has a super where he shoots a bunch of ki blasts downward. He also has mad oki setups using afterimages, assists optional.

i got like 240k bp and i cant play anymore too exhausted. i fought a guy who's shockingly good and started taking a couple characters off him. he beat nakkiel on stream a few times so he seems p legit and i leanred some sick nappa combos off him. theres some really good mixups if you just get a hard kd and do air dash / fall i saw off some other guy. dude would smash me with vegeta and iad mixups straight out of gg lol

reflect doesnt seem to do anything to lows, its super powerful. lows also beat any sort of 4S in a string.

dragon rush is super weird, if you mash i think you get out of it somehow? and also its reasonably fast up close because there's no travel distance. it still seems bad.

With the amount of blue life you can regenerate snapback seems really important.

Also is Nakkiel still playing Gohan on point? I didn't see him streaming yesterdya.

DBFZ is the first FG in ages that doesn't have classic throws...I can't even think of the last. It was probably some SNES crap. It's a weird design decision

they're not a big deal and ppl whining about them are just looking for an excuse to blame why they're bad on something other than themselves.

Dragon rush has a green flash during startup that's a tell and you can tech with any attack button. You can combo into it for snapbacks and extensions, though. It seems too early to decide if it's real or not, but free snaps are bananas.

Yeah, I'm surprised they don't cost something, especially with how fast blue life seems to regenerate.

This type of auto combo is completely fine. People who complain about them don't understand them.

I think it's because the dragon rush startup is kinda slow and they probably didn't want another mechanic that ate into a meter.

Autocombos are balanced. You actually need to land a normal to do them and anyone who can do that is probably already able to do the magic series for more damage. They'd be a problem if you could yolo super dash into autocombo into team hyper combo with 2 buttons

Looking forward to digging into this tonight if matchmaking is working now. Hopefully, it remains fixed?

Hard to get an impression from how it really plays without training mode and any ability to get matches. It feels weirdly clunky running through the tutorials to me, but I think that's just that new game feel.

I do hope there's a way to turn off auto combos in the full game however, it's annoying to double tap a button and potentially mess up your combo due to the extra input starting an auto combo.

I don't see the big deal about the autocombo feature. I mean in MVC3 if you get chained into a combo then it's usually from the first hit anyway, all this game does is take away the need to move your thumb to other buttons sometimes. Doesn't matter because this still has Guilty Gear-esque tech too with the transmissionport, burst, reflects, etc so simplifying a few very basic combos is nice for beginners.

I posted about this before, but I thought I saw a video where someone could combo into Dragon rush, which I hope would be for most characters. And if that's not the case...then that's also pretty troublesome imo.

As for meter, idk if that's rally a good reason, but it's extremely hard to tell when the game is unreleased and we don't know anything about how proper play/meter management will look like.

Tbh I don't really feel like I'm going to enjoy the mechanics of this game. I typically don't enjoy arcsys designs/mechanics, and there's several of them in here that make me wary from what I've read/seen. I'm gonna give the game an honest try when it comes out still, but I don't think we should head down the road of avoiding criticism of this game, cause maybe some people will just not like the game. FYI I also hate mvci so this isn't some dumb capcom-anime tribal poo poo or w/e

What a world we live in where a DRAGONBALL Z game is going to get worldwide acclaim and recognition from the biggest fighting game tournaments on the planet, and some of the fanbase still wants to be pissbabies.
