this keeps getting more and more amazing!!!
Now with the Street Fighter V hype, there seems to be less respect/attention towards DBZ fighting games in general.
I think Street Fighter’s influence and culture in how fighting games are designed is oversaturating the market too much, to the
point where people don’t acknowledge nor respect anything that plays totally different (SSB being an exception).
It’s a shame DBZ in fighting communities seems to be treated like an outcast or meme joke, just like Dynasty Warriors games,
no matter what it changes or improves. but it’s not like there are DBZ games exactly like Xenoverse released every year.
even Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is obsolete compared to Xenoverse’s network test build. Experienced more fun, epic battles, and possibilities
in the single day Xenoverse test than the total time playing all the best DBZ fighting games. and that was a beta test. )
but the fighting community as a whole should give Dragon Ball Xenoverse a chance and evaluate it with open minded
perspective of fighting games and gaming in general (just like eventually SRK community and others embrace SSB
as a competitive fighting game now.
Xenoverse has enough depth and authenticity to provide the best of both worlds
(DBZ style open 3D battlefield combat, and wide enough selection of offense and defense options to
give matches enough depth, variety and builds that conventional fighting games can’t match).
And one cool things about this kind of fighting game, it doesn’t force players to fight their controller,
and the learning curve is fair enough for there to be a smaller gap between intermediate and pro players,
instead of those controller-masochist fighting games that overcomplicate their commands,
are too strict with their combo and escape inputs,
and making players that would otherwise be great opponents… handicapped in fights because of the command/input window hurdles.
fighting games should be more of the battle of the minds instead of who’s better doing commands;
who’s better timing their combo/escape inputs. That’s all just a minigame and unnecessary extra hurdle to be able to fight optimally.
Fighting games should not be a controller contest, it should be about the fight itself.
- if a fighting game controls are too demanding to access all the offense and defense options,
then it’s inferior and too player controller skill selective compared to games like Xenoverse,
which has more accessible controls, greater freedom, flexible system that allows a wide range of ways to fight
(as well as build one’s own fighting style) **and fair inputs that empowers all players to be able to fight at their best. **
So as a whole Xenoverse is gonna have a lot more incredible competition since its overall design and gameplay makes it so
just about anyone can be formidable, while still having to earn their victories through skill, reflexes and strategies (and teamwork for the
team battles).
Plus the HUB structure is going to make the community much closer and immersed in the world.
This is really shaping up to be the most revolutionary and forward thinking DBZ fighting game (and fighting game in general) ever.
They know how to innovate things without going off track and without catering to just one type of player (the elitist pros that
are wizards with complex commands and inputs.)
Maybe with Dragon Ball Xenoverse, all fighting game communities will start to take DBZ fighting games seriously
(or at least DBXV fighting games.) but even if Xenoverse doesn’t get popular enough to get to EVO events and the like,
it’s online competition (and private local tournaments) will be among the greatest and most played fighting games of all time.
An important thing for fighting fans to consider, is to not expect Xenoverse to be a Street Fighter, a Tekken, a Budokai, or a Tenkaichi.
Xenoverse is in a league and flavor of its own. If people expect MUGEN DBZ or some 2D DBZ then go play those things, this is not for you.
**Dragon Ball Xenoverse is for those that want a Dragon Ball Xenoverse style fighting game, and willing to adapt to that style of fighting culture. **
