Mister Jack Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 The game is finally out, so here's a thread to discuss everything from story to characters to strategies or just to ask for tips. For starters, here is a link to a very good article for beginners, both to the game and the genre itself. Basic combos in this game are fairly universal. There are combos which take character specific moves into account of course, but if you learn a few universals you'll be off to a very good start.

CorgiShinobi Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Tomorrow should be the day, or at least I hope. I'm going to go through the Story Mode first and get Android 21. I know I'm going to main Adult Gohan, but the other two are up for grabs depending on if I can get the hang of Android 18 and Android 21 or not. Hit is supposedly one of the fastest characters, and from what I've seen he's more about fewer, but powerful, moves. Goku Black from what I hear is a bit of an easier character with good damage. And then there's Yamcha that is quickly becoming meta from the looks of things. Ironically, Beerus isn't getting picked as much because his tech demands too much time.

Mister Jack Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm hoping Beerus gets a little buff because he's my favorite Dragon Ball character and I want to play him, but he's just got too much startup as he is right now on almost everything.

CorgiShinobi Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I have no clue what my local UPS warehouse's malfunction is. It has been at their facility for the whole weekend, but instead of it being delivered early today, they deliver it to USPS so that USPS can deliver it to me tomorrow.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 The "deliver to USPS for end-point delivery" is specific type of shipping option, so the shipper must have selected that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I've had it happen, but not for Amazon Two-Day Shipping. It's typically UPS Ground, but this time it's UPS SurePost, which does USPS as the final delivery carrier. You're tearing me apart, Amazon!

CorgiShinobi Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Got the game and played through some hours of Story Mode. It's really easy right now, so I'm hoping it ramps up. I played some Casual Matches and most players kicked my butt. Considering I was playing way late into the night, I was only getting matched up with the dedicated players who's Player Card is decked out with their wins and stats. I was able to complete all of Yamcha's combos and 8/10 of Adult Gohan's combos. The split second timing you need is almost beyond me, but I definitely want to main Yamcha.

Mister Jack Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Story mode gets harder in the second half, though how much harder I can't really say. I didn't struggle with it much, but I've played a ton of Arcsys fighters for hundreds of hours so I can't say if you'll have the same experience. I did notice a definite increase in the difficulty compared to the earlier stages, though. I didn't really grind EXP with the optional fights, so part of that difficulty is probably because I was taking on enemies 10-20 levels higher than my team. I don't recall ever actually team wiping at any point, though. In other news, dataminers have uncovered possible future content for the game. Lobby avatars have been found in the code for Broly, Bardock, Goku and Vegeta from the Saiyan Saga, Vegito, Fused Zamasu, Cooler, and Android 17. While this isn't a guarantee they're the DLC characters, I'd say it's a strong possibility. In addition, they found three new potential modes called Z Union, Z League, and Raid Battle. Given that the Kame House and West City areas in the hub currently have no function, I'm thinking it's safe to assume these modes are legit.

CorgiShinobi Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 So for me, Story Mode didn't get challenging until the last two maps of the Android Arc. At least, the AI was getting a lot more aggressive with Assists and combos. I will say, I did get Adult Gohan knocked out before the final boss battle, so I'm glad I had Yamcha in reserve. He was only two levels below my Android 18 and Android 21, so I'm glad I had worked on him. That final boss was something in the end. I had the clock run out and I'm glad I had the higher health. I thank having Health Regen equipped to get me to survive one of her crazy ass combos. Now it's time to play as Android 21! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 If anyone would like to watch, I did some Ranked Matches last night. I honestly got lucky half the time, but the other times I felt stupid for getting beat. I do believe I'm improving by fighting real people. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 If you'd like another match I did later that night. If you only have time for a single round, skip to the last one where I go out with style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
