They said they’ll notify us so it’s coming regardless. They just give us a little time to be cheap for now.
I still believe if you don’t have Vegeta you’re doing it wrong. Any team that doesn’t have Vegeta is basically trying to force a meta that won’t exist without game changes. You’ll win sometimes still if you’re good enough as a player, but you’re leaving the most fundamental tool in the game out of your team when you try to fight the meta with non Vegeta teams. Assists are just too important in these kinda games and Vegeta is the only one that controls neutral and locks down as well as it does. Even if smaller characters can hide around it a little better, it still forces them into shit eventually and still limits the paths they can travel. Plus it’s still easily the best assist to have vs random super dashes and vanishes.
I do like that Sonicfox’s team in theory is probably one of the best things you can do to counter A.Gohan/Vegeta assist meta, but either way GO1 still has Cell, A.Gohan can certainly at least fight small characters and Sonicfox’s team still doesn’t have Vegeta.
If it’s anything like Marvel Infinite/Marvel 3 don’t expect many people to use it. For whatever reason people are just slow to adopt techs like that. It took people like a year after they were discovered to make TAC’s tournament relevant in Marvel 3 and only like one guy used HSD glitch in Infinite (in tournament) before it got patched out. Usually because they’re either too lazy or just assume it’s going to get patched and dont want to bother with the eventually useless muscle memory.
Might see one guy bust it out at NCR, but even that’s a maybe.
Im pretty ambivent to a lot of things in this game but the new dramatic finishers are pretty well done im pleasantly surprised. Although how the fuck are you gonna give broly his own green fireball animation in the finisher… You obviously have the sprite… but then in game all his fireballs are just a green colored freeza orb or 21 fireball. Bizarre laziness. Also since bardock has a what if finisher if you will, does that mean if vegito and zamazu are next we get a what if finisher like final kamehameha actually kills zamazu or???
As for patchs and what not, I just wish they would fundamentally change a lot of shit in the game period. But for character patchs and balances just let people play for awhile people arent even doing optimal stuff yet and people always want everything patched immediately when the game just comes out or this character is to good blah blah. Make every character have a cluster fuck of shit that seems powerful instead of toning down everyone and more so work on fixing just all the fundamentally wrong stuff with the game. All this dry , boring, standardized , contrived feeling to all the characters. A lot of the feel of the game just feels off when every i play people.
Been doing some theory crafting at work. Think yamcha piccolo might have some nice synergy. Not sure who to take to the lab first with Bardock coming tomorrow lol
Anyone US east coast in here? Off work tomorrow so I’m going to have some free time to play
I dont get AVP either, and 17 still doesnt make sense again because they said they were not having anything past the goku black arc way back when. Not that developers dont lie but still. Not sure what else AVP would be referring to though…
On another note thank god vegito is next. Finally the main reason I got the game. I really hope he is fun. Pretty close to making or breaking it for me. If he sucks after he comes out, probably will stop making videos. No real promises for sure.
They only said the game takes place after Goku Black arc IIRC. It was their development cut off point when making characters for the base roster. Now that we’re onto the DLC phase pretty much anything is free game, especially depending how much of Super they knew about in advance.
…with that out of the way, here’s some footage from GO1 using Broly and Bardock. Bardock’s 236M has pretty good potential for high/low oki in the corner on block when paired with an assist (more reason to have Vegeta in the team):
