I'm not like other posters
As much as I love my Frieza dude I feel like I probably hosed up by going Strike. Super Vegeta Ki builds just seem objectively better in every way :smith:

Also getting Strike supers and ults is a pain in the rear end. I do 90 percent of my work with Meteor Crash and basic attacks and have since forever.

Edit: The sword moves are Human/Saiyan only? God drat it.

Sorry guys, I just got Super Vegeta on my first SSJ Vegeta spawn.

It was my 7th time doing the mission to get him to spawn but still feels good. Now to redo it again because I didn't Z-Rank it :V

First time Super Vegeta bro. :hf: vv You too.
But I cant for the life of me get my 7th dragonball to drop, so I guess it's sorta balanced out.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
I really, really wish that, if you weren't a sayian, the tail wouldn't come with the armor. Sayian armor looks so good, but it looks odd being a namekian with a tail.

Also, I haven't been able to get into the game for a while: it's stuck on the connecting to server screen. Anyone else have that problem?

No it's just very slow to budge. Go into a mission and spam their super along side 2 copies of them. I had Krilling max himself out doing that.

By the way how do you consistently spawn the dragon ball dropper on mission 2?

The more I play the more I think specializing in strike supers is objectively inferior to ki supers. The only real advantage I see in strikes over ki is that there are some neat utility options in strike, like the stamina stealing one, the guard break one, and... That is all that comes to mind.

There's no need to specialize in either though? I do both and it seems to both confuse and destroy everyone i have fought online. They're all like "Whew, i finally got away from his combos. time to*Weekend to the face* HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!"

Okay a few hours into this game and I'm still really confused. How exactly do Masters work? I had Piccolo as my first one, the switched to Krillin and he gave me Distructo Disc really quickly after Piccolo wouldn't give me any moves besides that (admittedly useful) Evil wave thing.

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
If anyone is on the Dragon Ball hunt- try the mission "Return of the Ginyu Force". A Time Patroller spawns at the other end of the Capsule Corp yard from where you start. You can see them from the spot the mission starts you at. If you don't see them, just Retry until you do. Kill them and look for Key Items. Good luck. Just got my first 7 and I'm trying to figure out what I want.. I don't really gently caress with the other characters except to put them as helpers, but there's no other way to unlock these GT clowns..

Yeah but you can absolutely combo into ki blasts as well. Unless there are multi-skill combos with strikes I am unaware of.

So this game is surprisingly great, except for one bit, which is that my long-ago knowledge of Dragonball fights seems to contain a lot of smashing people into the ground and then lasering them in the face while they're there. Except regular ki blasts don't do poo poo when you do that, presumably because stand up/prone has some kind of frames on it, but are there any abilities that get around that when you ground someone?

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
You get a bunch of strike buffs working together if you're a human, kaoken x3, and keep the ki meter full. So at least there's major damage incentive for going melee.

Firstborn posted:

I just want to say... if you are a Ki Dude, and you aren't using Big Bang Attack, what the gently caress are you doing?

Big Bang Attack does damage during the start-up pose, then full damage of the actual attack after. It is the best ki attack I've found to combo into from strings. Go get it...


How in the gently caress do you make Vegeta go Super in that mission to get the attack? I've beaten it with Hercule at over 90% health, I've hung around to make sure Vegeta says the thing about Hercule being weak, I've done everything I can think of. I've done it at least a dozen times today trying to get Big Bang and gave up. I loved using it on SSJ4 Vegeta whenever I was messing around with him.



ON THAT NOTE- I wished for more characters, which gives you SSJ4 Gogeta, and for some loving reason I can't actually CONTROL him. He's grayed out. I can choose him as an ally though.

We'd have to set it up outside of the game but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. Maybe give the game a little longer to mature so more people have lv80 characters?

Just wait a little longer before you use your ki blasts or use something like kamehameha and charge it up before you let it go. Maybe it'll miss at first but it hits several times in succession, should still hit them a lot. I guess it takes some practice?

Knocking people and then hitting them with a galeck gun as they get back up is like the best part of this game. (Although it sucks when an ally teleports in and knocks your target out of the way right as you're striking)

The best is when 2 or more people kamehameha the same target. They get stunned in place so you all hit all the more times.

Cell gives you a few Strikes, as does Hercule. Cell gives you the "All Clear", which is a cool green swipe punch that nullifies Ki attacks and does damage. Some strike moves let you cancel the animation, do them while blocking, and they combo very naturally into any string which extends them very well. You can stop short of the very last move in a string and do a Strike where your favorite Blast might have start-up that won't combo. That being said I think even a Strike dude should bring a Ki Blast with him.

Sorry New Leaf, the game apologized to me by giving me Big Bang on the first run, so I didn't have any time to try to discern what the gently caress was going on. Just kind of played it as I usually would and it happened.


Also, there is Saiyan Armor without tails, or you can cover the tail up with certain pants.

Whenever I see a bro charge a beam, I also charge a beam to get sweet team-up attacks. Then my jack off crystal glows.
