Hopefully black is at least a little auto there in terms of gameplay. But thats one of the worrisome things about the game. As it is now if we are being honest and “fair” if you will when we theorize these characters that we havnt played, and we try to make them fun in our mind. Well we have to hold back dont we? Lets remember that blue goku and vegeta were labeled as complicated characters when they were announced… that they would be hard to handle unless you were a expert right? So as much as we might like to have some more out there characters in terms of gameplay stuff, just how different anyone is going to be is a little hard to imagine.
I mean say for someone like black what if he had a different stance even for his little sword hand thing. Maybe a command, he lights up his hand, then he gets some new normals and all his punch normals now have this little purple sword beam on them. But even that… think about it… are they even going to get THAT complicated with the game? Sure it might be a fun thing to do, but I think in terms of being a nerd, and nerding about the game and fantasizing about what could be is a little hard at this stage from what weve seen. Because its hard to know what is actually “fair” to assume in the grand scheme of things. Hell honestly I think you cuold even do a similar thing for vegito if you wanted… all his normals are kicks, but if you use a super, he brings out the laser beam spirit sword, and all his normals are him slicing the shit out of you, and he has a couple different special moves. Circle slash he does in games, maybe a ninja dash slash from the games, and spirit stab. But again… easy to make something up to make these characters complicated, but at the end of the day… is it fair to even assume from what weve seen? or is it just getting our hopes up?
I mean honestly black if I was being ‘fair’ to the standard of the game weve seen. Id assume he is going to be pretty “normal”. Maybe a misc attack with a sword hand, a special move rekka with his beam sword, beam sword slash super, fireball super whatever… Maybe a zamasu as a assit move like tien or16 is using but other than that. What would they really do for him? And do for him in a sense that is “fair” in the grand scope of the game if you get what im saying… I think maybe one potential gameplay gimmick that might be kinda fun is he has the whole idea lure of everytime he gets beat he gets stronger blah blah… maybe the less life he has, the stronger he is? Might tie into the lure and make it a little more fun to say…
Hell I mean a character like beerus actually, people are so horny about I want my characters that have unique mechanics whine whine blah blah… but… what unique mechanic does beerus have in a fighting game? None that I can think of, we already have moves that can instantly kill you, so scratch that for him being unique. At the end of the day just gotta make them just a little bit different, but not to much that it becomes unfair to the grand scheme of the game it seems like.
Guess will see in a little over a month eh? I mean at this rate again for this beta coming up, im still not even entirely convinced we are going to get much more than the builds they are putting out now for the most part character wise. I mean if we actually got a beta with more than 16 characters at this point id be pretty shocked with how stingy they are being.
