Dragon Ball XENOVERSE revolutionizes Dragon Ball fighting games + there is DBO Character Creation

You get two Ultimate Slots, not uses. Ultimates cost 2 bars of Ki, so you can use them as long as you have the resources.

Oh great…well that sucks, hopefully online doesn’t become one huge cheese-off.

You know it will lol.

I’m sure there are things to get around it, though… The teleporting Specials/Ultimates immediately come to mind.

Good but overrated.

Ultimates have some super armor and a melee hitbox during the startup, which uses stamina and can be guard breaked with a charged attack or other guard breaking attacks. Nappa’s Arm Breaker and Cell’s Gravity Impact (frontal barrier special) have guard breaking properties, if the startup is fast enough, you could counter Beam Ultimates this way, as long as you are correctly spaced. During the active frames, I think the Beam Ultimates are invicible, but I need proper testing.
Some Just Guarded Deathballs and similar stuff, although he used a Z-Soul, which enables Auto Just Guard, as long as he has full health.

3 bars.

Nova Shenron, Ice Shenron, Great Ape Baby Vegeta… Looks like they’re coming.

So, create a characters’ hair only turns gold when you go super saiyan. You don’t get a new hairstyle, that’s pretty lame.

Vegeta, Gohan, and Broly are the same way in SSJ. Sometimes the hair lifts up, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s SSJ2 where it’s really supposed to change. They probably didn’t want to design 1-2 extra hairstyles for every Saiyan. It sucks, but whatever.

Yeah but EVERY create a character hair design not changing? That’s just lazy.

Word lol. That’s a detail that’s likely going to annoy me now.

Edit: Btw… Why isn’t this Future Trunks ever in the games? It’s by far the best version.

I think its safe to assume competitive integrity was not on the developer priority but game does seem fun.

It NEVER is… I don’t know why SRK won’t stop their delusions about it lol.

How to avoid deathball:

still doesn’t change the fact, that Ultimate moves combined with Unlimited Ki is stupid, especially Deathball, Planet Buster and alike

I’m gonna enjoy the ragemail I get from trolling with Death Ball spam, Body Switch, Body Injury and Para Para. When is the tournament? I’ll get Xenoverse for free on Tuesday if all goes according to plan, so I’ll grind if need be.

Another garbage DBZ game, seriously who the fuck will play 60$ for this crap? Gameplay is shitty, roster is shitty and apparently there is no training mode.

Hopefully Dimps will make a Budokai 4 in the future, until then fuck off.

Why’s it shitty? You played it?

What’s wrong with the gameplay? all the complaints I see are about the roster and online spam.

That’s what I wanna know… I just hope it’s a legitimate complaint and not more nonsense about it not being competitive.

I have to play devil’s advocate here.

Any and all things can be competitive no matter how its designs. Mechanic imbalance has always been a thing fighters. But that where exploration comes in, those who try to optimize whats been discovered or find counters to it.

Z soul doesn’t sound any worst Infinit desperation in older game when you were low on life. Granted Im aware that ki also play into other mechanics. does having unlimited ki resources make those mechanics strong as well?

True, you can play anything competitively if you really want to. However, it isn’t always viable to do so. Some things just aren’t meant to be played competitively… Some games can only be taken so far. Again, you can try if you want, but knowing full well what it is and complaining anyway makes you look foolish. It’s like trying to eat soup with a fork and then condemning it when it doesn’t hold the liquid. If you want to eat soup, use a spoon.
