Tapping? That is kind of the opposite of the strong melee charge attacks :wtc:

Ok, I am for some reason just completely, 100% unable to ever connect to Multi Lobby on PS4. It will try then say the servers are down. I know there's a ton of server issues right now, are there any tricks to kind of making this work?

If it's anything like the PC version, the servers have been hosed since launch, and there's not really a trick to connecting or not.

Meteor Crash is hilarious when paired with super saiyan. I transform, smack them with a paralyze from Vacation Cancel, then a hilarious high speed rear end whupping ensues until SSJ wears off.

Best part is? They can't break out if it without blowing at least two whole bars of stamina. And I can just do it again with no way for them to get out since most people don't spec too heavily into stamina.. :getin:

Is anyone able to connect to this? Since last night I haven't been able to progress past the character select screen.

The servers crashed some time this morning. Not sure if they've been back up since then but I kind of doubt it. Given the huge number of people buying this game i'm guessing something melted on their end.

As a side note, the Steam forums have a ton of people calling this the worst game ever because they can't play in MP at the moment. I mean, jesus. It's like none of them have ever seen a MMO launch before. This is fairly tame by comparison to the bullshit that usually goes on there.

Just a note, but this sure as poo poo does not work in PVP once you get past the trash tier of players. You'll get comboed all over the arena since most skills require you to stand still for awhile. Even ultimates aren't exempt from this. Every hit you take while casting an ultimate removes some of your stamina. Lose too much and it's a guard break and you're knocked out of the skill. Then you're really hosed.

Granted, it works well early on in PVE at least. Starting around the cell games the NPC's start blocking like assholes though. So keep that in mind.


Edit: Hell, really good players can do that knockback teleport attack and cancel out of it to start up an infinite combo. There's no counter to that if you're a ki spammer. Plus, when you're in a knockback state you take damage as if your guard is broken. The cancellation puts you next to the player if timed right but doesn't start the next knockback. So with a bit of skill you can just chain combos forever and the other guy is hosed until he uses a breakout skill.

There's all sorts of neat tricks like that i'm noticing as I do PVP. It's amazing what you can pull off with a bit of skill or luck.

This is me. Even though I'm early on and things could change my favorite thing about this game is that if something is feeling a little too rough you can just grind slightly easier PQs until you level up and slide the difficulty around. The gameplay is so enjoyable that I did that first tien/yamcha/krillin fight like 30 times just for fun and sunglasses.

What's the definitive answer on how to distribute attributes? I've been keeping them mostly even and favoring whatever I've been using lately with an extra couple points.

I'm having an issue beating that one mission where you have to protect Vegeta and beat Krillin/Gohan, then Goku. Or rather, I can beat it, but I get wrecked by secret Kaioken Goku. He seems to spam his evasive move and wreck everyone. If I play too aggressively, I die, if I play at all cautiously, Vegeta gets wrecked. Any tips?

from gamefaqs

"Frieza 1st Form Z-soul (I'll never Forgive You ,Scum!)+super attack(Holstein shock) +Ult Transformation skill(ss1.ss2 etc..)+Energy battle item. Start by using your super to lower all your health let the cpu kill you then. use energy battle item and transform and have fun staying super saiyan."

Psycho "something" from Gulda is god drat amazing. You freeze any close by enemies in front of you, run halfway across the stage, then unfreeze your enemies. All while invulnerable.

So you literally just waltz out of Goku's Kamehameha not giving a poo poo.


As for ki spammers, my frieza will not give a poo poo and will combo you filthy sayajins to death. That or death beam you while you charge at me if you're a weak namekian or human. Majins are too slow to even notice they are about to get a surprise Weekend

Kill him as quickly as possible, with long range special attacks. If you take too long Vegeta will end up eating 500 evasive explosions and die like a moron.

higher rank means you got more points which means you got more xp

also people think that higher rank = better chance of getting drops

I'm confused by how you're supposed to get 7 Dragon Balls as the 'secret mission' on PQ08. I defeat Guldo and then as soon as I deliver 3 the mission ends. Hell only 3 show up on my dragon radar. I destroyed some houses as well and nothing. Even if I could find the others I'm still confused on how you're supposed to deliver 7 when delivering 3 ends the scenario and you can only carry 2 at a time.

I'm kind of feeling like it's not a huge increase in chance of drops though so I wouldn't worry about it if you're trying to farm a specific drop.
