Yo can we talk about the game's music? ArcSys fucking killed it man. Like every track is fresh, exciting, and oddly catchy.

I am patiently awaiting for some guitar tabs to surface so I can learn some of these hype ass riffs.
World tournament arena and West city have godlike music. Tbh I couldn’t tell you about the other music because I’ve really only listened to these tracks in matches/training.

OK ok.. Im learning a little more about the autocombo system.. I see why they're required now. i didnt realize the act to re-align you sometimes and that they can be used in custom combos - after a fashion.

Allright, I was wrong.
It's alright man. You sound like someone who didn't play the beta or drown in footage before release. I was too. In fact, everybody I know was like FU AUTOCOMBOS until like match 20 or so, then it starts to click. It's necessary and its better.

It's a little bullshit sometimes, but there's bullshit hit comfirms in every game now. Mashing crouching light into "whatever" on hit is like a staple of modern fighting games.

If you really want to play the "old" way, use somebody like Cell or 16 or Ginyu who doesn't have a strong mash combo game.
 
Hmm depends what the problem is. Maybe work on the timing of cancelling one move into another. This was the major input difference for me coming from primarily dial-a-string games. Basically don’t press the next button until around the time the previous move activates (maybe shortly after). You’ll get the timing with a little work :)
Thanks bud will keep trying when i get chance to play :( guted i cant get on it

Honestly, you can mash through almost ANYTHING in this game and yeah, at times, it raises my salt levels. But then i realize there's always way to adapt instead of out mashing another opponent. I'm still learning as i go ;)

How do you guys feel about Frieza in your team? Im gonna try him out with my Kid Buu and Vegeta

I run Cell/Freiza/Tien (for his assist still getting the hang of him)

Freiza zoning becomes even scarier when you have beam assist and can get full conversions from projectiles he also kind of serves as a battery for me if cell dies then I can kind of play lame and build meter with Freiza I had him as anchor but didn't feel his assist was good enough hence why I have Tien anchor now

Also this team has crazy synergy with their DHC

Again, mashing out of set ups using auto combo doesn't matter: The fact that it was auto combo that beat you is irrelevant. Your set up, your pressure, your mind game, whatever it was, it was beaten by buttons. Doesn't matter if those buttons are LLL or LM2MH, it's a tactic in DBFZ and people should adjust and plan around it.

NRS games have something similar. Just because it's not always the same button on repeat doesn't mean it's not the same principle. You press a series of buttons and the animations play out. No timing required for the short combo strings, just mash away.

I don't get the hate personally.
 
Whitch characters would you guys recomend learning for a noob easyer combos ect... sory if this has been asked

It's the same thing when people complain about getting beat by random stuff. Like, if a dude didn't know you were plus and hit his D1 to knock you out of a thing, that's not his fault. It's your fault for not expecting anything to come at you. If people played games the way they were "supposed to" the top tiers would never lose.

Frankly, I welcome our autocombo overlords. My total scrub of a friend actually enjoyed playing me because he could compete. If this will bring in more people to the FGC, who cares?

Yeah, it's like Marvel vs. Capcom where everyone has universal combos. There are plenty of unique things you can do, but everyone has a light, medium, heavy, rush, light medium heavy combo (as an example, there are significantly better ones).

Also, the specials are all literally QCF or QCB motions. So you don't NEED to keep flipping open the move list to know what somebody does, you can just experiment using that.

Autocombos my friend, don't be afraid to use them. Use them to help you understand how to space yourself and work up from there. The Combo Trials will tell you what's being done in an autocombo, so when you are ready to start working up, go from there

I've been using him in mine. Call it my third team with Frieza/A21/Cell. He's super good with his assists and on point and Cell as well as A21 compliment him so well. It's team synergy at it's finest especially since 21 needs help to extend combo's off assists more so on that team. Freiza is a beast.

Have you seen the double absorb combo stuff for her? Solo, no assist combos with two move steal built in. Good damage too.
Double absorb combo's are just too sweet:D. Using solar flare and Vegita's rapid fire in combos along with her seeker ball in between vanish or to use it on DR wen they're stuck blocking... She's a bad bitch on the screen. Even when you don't want the absorbed moves her ball is so quick and huge that it's super good to convert off of.

My only gripe on her is her lvl 1 which doesn't auto correct on the screen after you want to use it after 2h because she goes to the middle to lower half of the screen. Wasted lvl 1 and good optimal dmg left on a air recovering opponent...

Not good.

The auto combo complaint has never made sense to me. If you’re losing to someone only using auto combos, you’re probably not good enough for it to really matter anyways.
I can see the point, like in Killer Instinct someone trying to get good with the combo system may be easily beaten by someone using auto combos. That said, this game integrated auto combos so well that I think it's not a fair criticism. On the contrary, I think it makes the game easier to learn and understand.

It will matter less as people get better.. but right now people are getting way too much mileage out of it.

"If you're getting hit why does it matter if its auto or not."

Well, in anime fighters, execution typically matters. You can close your eyes and mash with zero risk of a drop. I wonder if any of the people who think they arent dumb ever played a game like GG. Its not automatic that people are going to hit every link in a game like that once you get opened up. Combine that with zero defensive bursts... its just dumb.

Like i said it will matter less as time goes on, but no.... they arent necessary. At all.

Funny story. I was getting bodied trying to actually play, so i started looking at my phone and just mashing light while i waited for the match to end. I killed two of the dudes characters without even looking at the tv. I dont care how bad the guy was. Thats fucking dumb.

Its not nearly as bad as the utility of superdash though.. this game has a bunch of realiy cool anime style game mechanics... that they've invalidated with other noob friendly stuff.

Hey lets have an air recovery where you can recover if your opponent messes up their combo and your hitstun resets.... but also lol nevermind auto combo.

Lets have air dashes and super jumps and iad and a bunch of cool movement options... but also lol superdash tracks everything and beats all of them
