Android 16 was such a compassionate and gentle android that his death pushed Gohan to ascend beyond the limits of Super Saiyan 1 in an unprecedented feat. If that's not incredibly badass to you then I think you should try to become a better person in life.

The devs mentioned that weaker characters will have the better assists so I wholly expect the Pilaf kids to be a three-in-one character with a phenomenal assist ability.

Beerus is incredibly powerful but his assist is "oh i'm not helping you"

I figured out what Beerus's assist will be

I hope if you have Goku and Blue Goku on your team then tagging out is just the model transforming like Kazuya > Devil Kazuya and that's why they have the same outfits.

could just be story stuff though, like Bulma who we've seen in cutscenes already and is clearly not playable

Bulma is one of the greatest support characters of all time and you'd be a fool to write her off so quickly.

It's more I can't think of any Tales character that has that huge combination of 80's hair, hoola hoop earrings, enormous glasses, and, for some reason, opera gloves.

She looks like she escaped from the set of late 80's/early 90's teen sitcom.

I can think of at least one anime from that timeframe that she would into nicely.

This is obvious but they don't even have to make original character designs. I don't think going to the upper 20's is out of the question.

If they want women on the cast they gotta reach a bit deeper, though.

Lunch would be a cool install character but canonically she's sort of outclassed by DBZ power creep. Videl feels like a natural inclusion since she can actually fight. Bulma as a Tron/Sentinel sort of thing would be really good, then you can have the whole Briefs family on one team.

Memory is fuzzy as it's been literal years but didn't Videl only get a single fight in the series and she got beat so hard she was a crying mess by the end of it?

That guy used Majin power to cheat.

Clever Spambot posted:

By rigid i mean just needing to look up what the optimal combo for your character rather than just being able to freeform keep hitting people in a way that logically follows. Rote memorization is the least fun part of fighting games imo and the auto combo sounds like it bandages that a bit but its meaningless if the autocombo is way worse than a normal combo.

Combos usually follow a logical flow of light > medium > heavy > special > super in virtually every game.

Dragonball Super is just weird looking to me. It was super noticeable to me when a clip of Android 17 got posted a few pages back. He hardly even looks like the same character



I dunno man he still tucks his shirt into his mom jeans, that's classic 17.

That's Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta, actually. Good beard Nappa in the background though.

It looks like when Ginyu body swaps you it keeps the player names, i.e. Nappa's name is still Ginyu here and Ginyu's portrait is on the other team. I wonder if that means the swapped Ginyu doesn't have access to the Ginyu Force or something similar, since it's making the distinction between Nappa and Nappa swapped out by Ginyu.

So, order cycling. That's gonna be interesting to say the least.

Captain Ginyu is literally Captain Olimar from Smash Bros, right down to having color-specific pikmin teammates.

If nothing else I think it's a little odd that the cover art does nothing to tell you what kind of game is other than "a game with goku in it," but I don't think the art itself is bad, really.

If people think its one of those fighting games for try hards who play 24/7 they won't buy it.

Beerus and Gotenks are going on my team, and I'll have to figure out who the third Rally Character is in this game. I'm happy.

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.

Blockhouse posted:

I think the worry is more games at high level being about who can get Dragonballs first and whoever gets the wish just can't lose

Just simply run Ginyu and take away their Yamcha and then boom, good luck getting a 70-hit combo with that big galoot.

My hot take is I'm grateful for this game but instead of DLC Waves I'd like Team Red to get a nice long vacation after this mega crunch, and then be able to work on whatever they want again, and if that happens to be Guilty Gear then all the better.

Nappa, 16, Buu, is that the three biggest characters we have so far? Is Majin Buu larger than Ginyu? You can build a good Team Small out of Gotenks, Krillin, Teen Gohan and Kid Buu, I believe fielding a wall of meat is equally viable.

People compare Goku to Superman but really I think he's more analogous to Krypto, Superman's dog.
