You can jump cancel moves on hit, but I think you couldn't jump cancel on block at all without Sparking.

I wish there was footage of actual truly good players out there. Right now my biggest concern for the game(besides netcode) is damage ouput seems quite low. That combined with the fact that the amount of health that can be regen'ed after damage is absurdly high compared to most fighting games, and the not-x-factor lets you regen that health at an absurd speed(on top of your team mates regen outside of battle) makes game length way long.

Now that said it could just all be because everyone's bad and nobody is doing anything even remotely optimal but still its a thing that irks me.

Is there a way to take away a foes regenable health?

Sparkling was nuts with the beta with the regen being outheal some supers that didn't do all the damage in one burst and people just started figuring out stuff like it allowing you to jump cancel normals on block, vanish cancels and etc at the end. I think they'll definitely tone it down. I don't think the game will ever have MvC3 damage but even without training mode people were finding 50%+ combos for a couple bars.

So both Gohans have an invincible defensive assist. Which means unless someone else has some weird property that isn't immediately apparent those two just straight up have the best assists hands down.

Gohan's assist was rear end in the beta, the startup wasn't fully invincible I think

Videl is not in the game because she never showed off anything unique that they could use to make her interesting as a fighter.

I don't buy this, they made loving Adult Gohan into a vaguely interesting character. When's Korin

I'm doing pretty good with Krillin/Goku/Vegeta, but I might trade Vegeta out. I'm also liking Kid Buu, and I had some time with 18, but I need to get a better hang of her. Gohan's pretty alright, but I feel like you need to have a good grasp on Potential Unleashed to use him really effectively. Like, I've seen guys build up a bunch of ki and fire off 1-bar Unleashes every time you get near to be untouchable.

Can't you super dash punish that on block?

Also I can't figure out what arena match is. There are stamps for it and it seems "open."

The arena in the middle let you play with other people in the lobby in the last beta.

Boo. I need me a kickass character that drops fireballs over a character on the floor.

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 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.

Holding back stops autocombo normals from coming out, it's a non-issue.

you can airblock grounded normals, except for everyone's grounded 2H which is a hard coded anti air

Also, can someone tell me how you make all the orbs appear around Beerus? I couldn't figure it out.
I'm not discounting the possibility that I just couldn't hit the buttons right, as I only learned how to do a quarter circle two days ago.

Can someone translate this post into English for me so I can learn to get better at the game? I have managed to decipher L, M, and H so far though reading the thread (light/medium/heavy) but the rest is eluding me.

If anyone feels up for it there are plenty of other terms and abbreviations from other posts that I have no idea how to read that could be translated as well.

e: I also know what "fireball" means :thumbsup:

The numbers are directions, look at your numpad. jc means jump cancel, do a jump (usually forward). Multiple letters in a row means you mash on those buttons.

That's about it

That's really weird for a genre where people usually use controllers or sticks

What does 5 mean then? Standing still?

Anime games have some weird rear end inputs so having an universal symbol for every direction cuts down on ambiguity and poo poo you have to write.

5 is neutral, yeah

back+medium > standing still(?)+medium > jump cancel (so just jump forward?) > jump+light+medium > jump+back+heavy

2 is down and you have to do the jump cancel light medium twice, otherwise that's correct.

I heard something about Android 18 getting nerfed in this version of the beta

-It's way harder to use 17 for combo extension so her closed beta bnb doesn't work
-Command grab is slower and the combo you get from it is worse
-17 call cooldown is longer

you get an extra normal move that dramatically improves your combo potential at level 1 and increased damage. in addition its like his only? super lol

im guessing each level has a major property. level 1 being 3L and level 7 being able to reverse beat.

He has the family Kame for 3 bars but that's it.

Skimmed the last couple of pages but don't think I saw this: If I buy Fighterz now (or before its release) I get instant access to unique-movelists Blue Goku and Vegeta, correct? Or have I missed the window and have to unlock them the tedious way?

Pre-ordering now should still give you them right off the bat.

uh no you’ll be able to purchase them later for probably like 5-10 more bucks than if you preorder d like literally all dlc ever, and the Blue ssjs are unlockable in game

Pre-ordering is the same price as buying the game and season pass seperately.
