You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!

If you just replaced that with someone screaming it would be accurate.

If you're on Steam go into offline mode so you can still play. I haven't been able to login all morning except for a brief moment before I got kicked out, so I've just been grinding in offline.

Anyone have any tips or good combos. I've seen a few people mention Piccolo's Evil Blast thingy but I never get the timing right. Actually I think my biggest problem is timing when people can be hit again after you knock them into the ground. I want to immediately follow that up with a blast attack but it seems like they're invulnerable until they stand back up and I can't quite get the timing right on when to launch the attack.

Trying to Z-Rank PQ09 is going to be hell. Goku only revives about 1/3 of the time if you hit the bonus objective and it is entirely likely that he kills the AI Vegeta because he has unlimited evasion bursts and will use them over and over (literally, I saw him chain them 3 in a row without moving otherwise).

All this combined with the fact that there are barely enough points to earn to get Z, gonna be loving hell.
New record: Within a 40 seconds period, Goku used his burst 12 times. Vegeta died. This is stupid.

Play online or use SSJ4 Vegeta and do a charged ultimate. Takes about 1/4 of his lifebar.

Sorry if this has been asked: Can you have multiple mentors or switch after selecting one? I didn't pick Krillin and now he's gone and Piccolo is here. Also am I still in the tutorial or something? AI players were just added after finishing the Vegeta saga, and I can select online matches in the quest thing but no one's showing up in my world and vice/versa.

You can switch at any time. Any progress you have if not fully completed when you switch masters you will keep as well. The entire saiyan saga counts as the tutorial, once its complete exit game and go back in, and you can choose SP lobby or Multi lobby.

Theoretically you can choose single player lobby or multiplayer lobby. Right now you can play neither.

Vacation Delete is a pretty great ultimate attack. It's fast moving, has some tracking and the explosion leaves the target stunned for a few seconds so you can easily follow up with a fully charged kamehameha for a 30 hit combo if you have 4 ki bars.

I bought this game and want to like it, but I'm having some weirdass issues.

During the intro sequence, and with my female majin CaC, I can't combo. Everyone seems to get knocked back out of reach of my follow up attacks so I can never land more than a hit or two at a time.

Also pre-rendered cutscene video tends to run at half speed compared to the audio, and my character runs around at about half speed on the hub compared to others.

What's the deal with this? I've changed all the settings but nothing seems to help. It seems to be performance based, but I'm running an Nvidia 8400 with 5 gigs of ram and a decent processor. Is that not enough, or is something else wrong that I should be looking into? It's really cutting into my enjoyment of the game. :shrug:

It really is fantastic. It's like the only ultimate I've found that isn't kinda garbo so far (Weekend is too hard to hit with and Full Power Energy Volley does not do nearly enough damage for its ki cost).

I asked about evaluation criteria in here and got no reply, so I hate you all and I hope you all choke.

In the meantime, I started a list myself that I hope will be helpful to anyone trying to Z-Rank everything like I am. Though, I have to say, the fact that your mentor's mission ranks are saved and are unrepeatable is going to bug the poo poo out of me. I got bad grades with a lot of my mentors :(

My understanding its tied to just their basic ki blasts, so hitting dude with a single ki blast should stun them.

Final Flash is the first Ki Ultimate I've gotten on my dude that made me really appreciate the points I sunk into Blast. Holy gently caress does It hit hard. Giant Storm is also really awesome.

once you do the final quest for your mentor, if you talk with them again you can repeat them. Also, the "clear within (time) changes based on the mission. I know little Gohan's quest to defeat Frieza's is 2 minutes. which is also the same as the extra fight requirements.

Evil Canadian posted:

It's this, instead of spamming a poo poo ton of ki blasts, you fire one pretty slowly. But if they don't have invincibility they get stunned until they're damaged or a few seconds. It's not quite enough time to land an ult, but you can do a charged super. I abused this to get through harder story missions.

16 minutes to take out I don't know how many Buu, and I did it. On the first try.

I would like to thank Cell for training me in murdering things, Jeice for his Space Australian Attack, and the Special Beam Cannon for being wonderful.

Yep, this. Friezas can only fire 1 ki ball at a time, but it homes and stuns on hit. It's actually ridiculously powerful.

I'm on what looks like the final part of the Piccolo mentorship. His bar seems to be completely filled, yet he has no new missions or things for me to do. Is there anything else I have to do? I just beat the Frieza section of story mode if that makes a difference.

Did you get anything as a reward? I love this game but I'm really getting sick of spending 15 minutes fighting Trunks and Vegeta at the same time, and THEN Goku and Gohan at the same time only to be rewarded absolutely nothing.

Did anyone seem to hit some kind of wall around level 36? I can't beat the story mission where I fight a million buus and I seem to be unable to beat anyone in the parallel quests from the cell saga (particularly the one where you fight the heroes at the cell games. When vegeta and trunks show up I'm hosed).

I literally just finished this mission at level 35. I ended up using 4 healing items... Medium, Large, Z and a Large regen one. Also in the Mixing NPC there is a Z-soul from Kami that increases your stats and heals you over time when you use a 'Reinforcement skill' which I found out is any skill that gives you a buff. I use Racoom's kick which is a pretty solid attack that gives you a damage buff.
