What?

Since super dash is no longer a requirement I will continue to demand they put in Hercule. Instead of a ki blast he has a gun.

The gun does ki blast damage because everyone's too strong for bullets to be anything more than an annoyance

Couple nice touches with Roshi. He can lose his glasses partway through the fight and he doesn't fly like other characters but propels himself by firing a ki blast behind him.

Tons of balance changes coming this patch as well. No nerfs to UI goku but it looks like nearly everyone gets buffs. Except zamasu and Goku Black, who can suck it apparently.

I wonder if Videl will actually be playable now. They've buffed almost every aspect of her kit at this point.

I guess it really depends on the changes they made to her spot dodge. If she can actually dodge and then punish things now she might be pretty decent but otherwise she's still probably the bottomest of bottom tiers. Not having reflect and not having pushblock just gives her so many problems

Oh cool, this thread is back! I've not had a chance to play Baby yet but he looks like pretty fun; for now though I'm content to farm easy wins from people still getting to grips with him as I do every time a new character is released.

Speaking of which, is anyone still playing Roshi? I swear I'm the only guy that mains him and I still have a ton of players who have no idea how to react to his moveset. His AA attack is such a great cheapshot and no-one ever seems to see it coming-- nothing I love more than punishing errant jumpers by zapping them three times in a row then throwing his little teleport chop move into the mix as soon as they wise up and start turtling. Is he considered a low-tier character or is it just a case of the playerbase's fixation on only ever picking the characters with the highest power levels in the show? Swear to god I'm sick to death of playing against UI/Vegito/Broly hell teams and wish I could get a bit more opponent variety in ranked matches. That's why I love new character weeks so much

Roshi is extremely good high tier (UI, TGohan, ZBroly, etc(, he just happens to also be the hardest character in the game to play. Iirc both the US and Japanese national champions played him Mid (his B assist is sick2nasty

Also vegito is so mediocre

Basic tips video from SA's own rooflemonger:
https://youtu.be/mWGaG1xJ4kc

Id suggest exploring his channel and others like jmcrofts / knowkami / etc. The theory of the game has changed in the 3 years since release so do take old videos with a grain of salt


The first thing I tell newbies is just being able to do a basic rear end auto combo such as:

LLL -> SD -> LL jc LLL -> SKD Level 1 super

Thats about as simple as it gets and involves pressing two buttons total. If you can do that and slowly expand your repertoire its super easy to rank up to Demon. TBQH you can get all the way to like super saiyan god without actually knowing how to play the game


Wrt yamcha - hes an extremely strong high tier anchor with two of the best assists (A/B) in the game, but his buttons and combo structures are slightly more advanced than your average goku. He doesn't have a smash air extender like most of the cast and his buttons don't gatling quite as easily. Just try pressing ki blast at people with him as its extremely strong

Tao Pai Pai

Lord Slug
Garlic Jr.
Android 13 (Super 13 as a special)
Tapion (With Hildegarn stand-like special attacks)

I still think Raditz is a lame pick but at this point there's been enough characters released that it wouldn't feel like a letdown or a wasted slot if they were to announce him. It'd be cool to have an OG Saiyan team and a DF with Baseku/Piccolo as well.

Most of the rest of the movie villains are pretty underwhelming but they have some cool moves and it'd be a nice bit of variety from the onslaught of saiyans we have at the moment. Garlic Jr, Android 13 and Tapion could all be a lot of fun.

My picks would be:

Pan
Top
King Piccolo
Imperfect Cell
2nd form Frieza
Ribrianne

Really though I'd rather wait for a sequel instead of getting more dlc at this point; With the roster starting to get pretty bloated I think it'd be smarter to start over again soon and take things back to square one, redesign the main cast and rebalance things in a fundamental way than can be done with just a patch. Instead of more Goku's give me a reimagined Trunks with his Super moveset, a Tien with the 6 arm technique or a Basegeta with an Oozaru lvl 3 etc- throw in some Super characters, a bunch more dramatic finishes and a few extra stages on top of that and you've easily got enough fresh material for a sequel.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
A sequel needs to have more characters from classic Dragon Ball.

I understand all the perfectly legitimate reasons they went away from that in DBFZ, but Roshi alone shows that they can do that power scale and aesthetic approach well, and it'd be a wonderful change of pace in visuals compared to the rest.

Give me Launch and Yajirobe as fighters.

Agreed, I'd love to have a proper Kid Goku with a DB movset. Give him the rock-paper-scissors move with a bunch of varients, the feet kamehameha, a great ape lvl 3 and have him use nimbus for his super-dash. Tonnes of dramatic finish potential too!
