So I watched that video about the parrying, but I’m a bit confused. The guy made it sound like you can parry while you are being hit/in hit stun.
Nah, during hitstun, the only options available are Escape Moves and Escape Vanish. Escape Moves from the Network Test all seem to have true invicibility frames.
Also from my testing it seems, that Yamcha is invicible during the active frames of his Ki-Blast Thrust, but the startup of this move is meh, so I need to test, how to use this move at all…
So what’s the price or drawbacks to using Escape Moves/Vanish?
Vanish: 2 bars of Guard Energy, has some recovery frames
Escape Move: 3 bars of Guard Energy
I also think I mentioned it in my breakdown, which you can read here, in case you didn’t read it yet: http://monkeydvegetto.tumblr.com/post/99483429399/dragonball-xenoverse-fighting-mechanics-v2-0
You’re using the left side of your brain too much, try using the right side.
Oh, I forgot, there is some LOCAL 1vs1 multiplayer footage, if some of you guys were sceptical:
^^^ What’s up with the camera? Aside from that video, every other one I’ve seen lead me to believe the camera was Tenkaichi style(a plus for me).
Offline 1vs1 multiplayer. It doesn’t use splitscreen, uses Naruto Storm games camera instead.
It uses Tenkaichi Camera, if you play alone on one console, though.

I think the game could use a little more “fluidity” and adjustments to make this happen, the beta gave me a very “stiff” feel quite like MK9. Yes it’s a beta, but I’m giving my feedback, as a public beta it is intended to help the final product.
Glad we’ve seen some GT characters, they fit well in the games and they all look pretty dope.
In my opinion, the network test gameplay didn’t feel very stiff (no wear near MK9 stiff), it could use some melee lock on polishing to its accuracy and tracking, but other than that it’s very responsive and flexible. I like the feel entirely better than Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (or any other DBZ game for that matter)
Anyways some GREAT NEWS

Europe 2/13/15
Steam 2/17/15**
Those Golden and Crystal armors are so gorgeous!! Preordering asap.
As for the rants going on about GT Vegeta being preorder DLC, unless you’re outside a 1st world country,
well, deal with it.
I’d pay for an Android race DLC.
So genuine thoughts on the SSJ4 Vegeta pre-order bonus? I’m not too bothered myself, pre-orders don’t cost me a penny more, I just have to notify my store I want them to hold a copy back.
I think it’s less about the fact that it’s a pre-order bonus and more of a “limited” amount of SSJ4 Vegeta’s, he isn’t going to be a universal character in the full release, which is a shame. Would have made sense to have Gogeta or someone other than Vegeta as the pre-order bonus, take into consideration that SSJ4 Goku is going to be in the full retail copy of the game. It doesn’t make much sense to take one of the partnership away at all.
I’m just hoping SSJ Bardock is going to be in the game, my favourite character since I got into DBZ and I’ve never had a good DBZ game where I can play as SSJ Bardock. Had to make do with RB2’s base form Bardock to play against people online. Anybody have news if SSJ Bardock is actually going to make an appearance in it?
EDIT**
I’m probably going to pick this up on Steam as well, I imagine they’ll be a solid 60fps for it…hopefully. Wonder if the pre-order bonus will continue to stand over on the PC side of things? I’d prefer it if I could use my old 360 controller. Not a fan of the Dualshock on the PS4 too much honestly. Anyway, I really hope they make it a good port, Street Fighter is an excellent PC port and runs amazingly so DIMPS can probably pull it off.
no word on SSJ Bardock, but since SSJ is a common Skill among the sayian elite, they could give Bardock Super Sayian as a standard skill.
I think they are prioritizing Vegito, SSj4 Goku, Beerus and SSG Goku first. And two of those are confirmed.
Found a new vid
With the NA release being same day as Steam, they still got at least 2 months worth of polishing to go.
The final version will be better than what people currently play. With 500 players per city, wonder how much of
them will be visible. Some think at least the next gen and PC consoles can display more at once than the new
the PS3 network test showed. The network test I think displayed around 10 players in the Toki Toki city at once, maybe
the PS4/X1/PC versions will display 20 or more at once. MMORPGs like FFXIV ARR on PC/PS4 could display dozens at the sametime,
maybe hundreds. Xenoverse city is a smaller space and smaller population than mmorpgs, but still displaying 500 high quality custom players
at the sametime would be kinda extreme on the hardware, so I would guess you can probably see 20-30 players at a time in the full version
(not expecting a huge number, but it would be impressive if it could display up to 100 players at once) The full city is going to be divided
into 3+ sectors, so that will alleviate some of the processing.

I respect the shit out of what you just said. You only were exactly what you said. On topic, informative, and optimistic. There was literally NO FUCKING REASON for anyone to take a shred of negativity with anything you said and they just decided to attempt to be dicks anyway.
Fuck em’
Man, I do hope SSJ Bardock makes it into the final release, it’d be a dream come true for me finally!
Update on the SSJ4 Vegeta situation, at least for the American side of things. (I’m British myself, so this has no jurisdiction over me) They’ll be a “Day One” edition that comes with both the exclusive Saiyan Armour and SSJ4 Vegeta. So I guess that could quell some of the negative feedback from fans I suppose?
Never knew Affinity was getting hate for spreading word about Xenoverse, it’s the internet and shit happens. Ignore the negative feedback, I appreciate the effort you’re putting in for this. Even though you said the same for BoZ and we all know how that went…hah. Still, Xenoverse looks like an actual fighting game and not some weird MOBA/DBZ mix and match. Meh, what a badly delivered concept that was in the end, could have worked.
Making a double post, but I thought I would explain the recent happenings pertaining to all things Xenoverse.
I have no reference links to back-up what I’m saying, but these things as of now are confirmed, I’m sure Affinity will deliver with screenshots in due time. But for now searching these things for yourself on Google if you don’t believe them are your best bet.
UPDATE 1
- A new DBZ movie in early 2015, Fukkatsu no F/Frieza Reborn or something along those lines. This could be added to Xenoverse as a DLC in the later part of the year hopefully. I’ve never seen DIMPS work on DLC before though, so maybe not.
UPDATE 2
- Great apes have been confirmed for Xenoverse! As of now I believe they are only being shown as boss characters, but I believe some of the wording in the announcement makes it seem as though they will be an available transformation? I’m unsure, and I’m trying not to work myself up just to let myself down, but it would be REALLY cool to have playable Apes once again!
UPDATE 3
- BoG characters have all practically been confirmed, including everyone but SSJG Goku. Whis and Bills have both been officially confirmed for the game.
UPDATE 4
- Some “Day 1” DLC bonuses have also been mentioned, including a downloabable character named “Jaco” who I believe is from Toriyama’s new manga? As well as Master Roshi’s attire for your created character!
That’s all I have so far, there’s probably more I have missed.
Still waiting for my SSJ Bardock announcement…don’t let me down DIMPS!
Thanks for the updates, here are some visual confirmations.
Beerus and Whis
combos
I’m still not gonna confirm if created Sayians can go SSJ2 and SSJ3 until they visually confirm it. There
are some translations that say they confirmed it, but like GT rumors, it’s better to wait for the official reveals.
Thought you’d gone and left the SRK forums for a second!
I’ve been hearing rumours about the SSJ2/SSJ3 custom character transformations. I doubt we’ll see all three transformations for our created characters at all really…it would be really nice, but wouldn’t that make the Saiyan race easily the first choice for almost everybody? If anything it leaves the Majin and Namekian classes lacking in available transformations. The Frieza/Ice Imp race will most likely at the least have 2 transformations I would imagine, or else that race is going to be crappy. And people have also been questioning whether Apes are going to be an available transformation, or just giant characters in general in the versus modes.
I just want SSJ Bardock to be a confirmed addition already, I feel as though he’s not going to be included in the final version at this rate.
