Tien can get a full combo for no bar midscreen after the second hit of volleyball fist using Gotenks assist, but it's a tight link. Tien's Dodon Ray compliments Gotenks pressure real well because Gotenks 2H converts real easily off it. Galactic Doughnut also allows Tien to convert meterlessly full screen off of telekinesis, but you probably won't ever land that so who cares.

What's the timing for Gotenks assist+volleyball combo? i knew if you did volleyball first hit+call Gotenks assist together that you can combo off of it but that's about it.

Well yeah it's not a kamehameha but dondonpa is still a beam, it's why I have Tien as anchor, assist is buff af.

What do you mean you can't land telekenisis at all? After a hard knockdown (j.H after smash or 236M) you can land and do telekenisis immediately and it'll be guaranteed outside of lvl3 and vanishes.
If they block it you get guaranteed pressure and if it hits you get a combo from anywhere on screen.

Also, dodonpa+call Gotenks assist can convert into super dash from fullscreen for a combo meterless, you can do SD LL2H j LL2H 236M for a hard knockdown.

Midscreen with Piccolo I do 2M5M JC (why do you superjump?) LML2H SD LML2H JC LL(2 hits) 214L/H

Corner I do 2M5M JC MH2H SD MH2H JC LLL214M

Pretty sure the midscreen combo works on all characters.
The corner combo might drop on small characters but it should work if you do 2M5M JC M(2hits)2H etc..

Makes it more consistent from my lab time, against small characters the second L or the 2H can drop but if you SJ it works every time.

I swear...I said this before but Goku Black is the Dante in DBFZ. In other words, HE'S ON EVERYBODY'S FUCKING TEAM!!! I'm like the ONLY one that doesn't play him on a team! And btw i dont know WTF they're doing with this so-called "maintenance" but the game is getting worst online. Now when i face ppl w/ 4-bar connection or higher, i still get shit lag at certain moments and its gets BAD! I never had that happen with 4 bar or better before all these updates.

What the hell is going on !?Question mark?!

Goku Black is the new edgelord mascot since Majin Vegeta debuted over 15+ years ago now. He's also potentially the strongest character in the game, and on top of that is incredibly easy to play, and on top of that has a playstyle many people find really fun with teleports, mobility, and tools for everything. So yeah. Teams without him are gonna be a rarity. Unfortunately.

Goku Black is a great character all around. Good assist, good point or anchor, and as you said, has a versatile playstyle and is easy to use. He’s definitely going to be on a lot of teams, which means you should have plenty of MU exp vs him.

I’m more worried about good Ginyu’s, Majin Buu’s, Teen Gohan’s, etc. MU exp vs a great character >> little to none vs an average character (I don’t think any character is bad or even really low tier in this game)

For the time I’m getting with the game, I think I’m slowly learning every single day I play. It’s been a VERY long time where I actually like a new fighting game enough to actually grind and level up and have fun doing it.

Not sure if I will be able to afford EVO this year unfortunately, going on TWO vacations in April. It’s not like I’ll be good enough to compete with the big dogs anyway. But I definitely wanna go to some locals and travel to at leastt one major (aside from Final Round), this year.

Yeah, I play against jon nitti and he uses an all Goku Team. It’s a really solid team actually. SSB Goku and Goku Black, IN MY OPINION, are both top 5 characters. Regular SS Goku is good too, definitely a solid team.

 

[TamedLizard]

I shamefully admit I'm about to replace SS Goku with Black v.v

Beerus, SS Goku, A. Gohan was the team. But maaaaaan Black serves the exact same purpose as SS Goku does on the team (beam backup for Beerus' fallable zoning) but Black also offers the perk of extra range on normals.

Was choosing between everyone with a beam assist yesterday and black made the most sense by far. Kind of a shame, but I’m not going to hinder my first team with sentimentality. No additional sentimentality anyways, as it already chose my first 2 chars.

I’ll create some casual fun teams later, but my main squad needs as much fire as it can get first.

 

[BurdaA]

Well that makes sense, cuz nobody even gave this brotha any pointers when asked first.....

My bad, keep seeing vids with requests for advice and they’re a bit long (don’t have much free time, and like to lab/play). I’ll take a look if you like and offer any opinions for what their worth
Edit - can you link it? This thread has a devastating number of pages....

FYI – everyone else uploading fights, nice stuff... (Juggs, you’re looking stronk!) others have already covered off the most of my thoughts. I remember thinking “why isn’t this person using assists?” a while back, but can’t remember who they were, very helpful I know. But maybe, just maybe, you know who you are... in which case, you’re welcome.

 

[God Confirm]

Piccolo is an absolute beast on the field with meter and an assist up, but man his assist seems so gimmicky. Anyone seen anything legit for it yet?

 

[ProudDisciple]

Only real Piccolo that Ive seen at a high level is BrkrDv’s

@freerf245 has a great Piccolo as well.

Yeah I'm not even caught up on Super at all so there's really no sentimentality there for Black. I just like the way he plays and having one meh 2H is enough lol. He may be jack of all trades top tier edge lord senpai, but you gotta admit his play and supers are hype af.

All in all though, I told myself pre-release that as long as one of the Gohans clicked, I'd be happy. There are only like 3 characters from DB universe that I don't like and none of them are in the game....yet. So team building could have went any way after I found my Gohan.

Tbh I didn’t really mean sentimental in that way, I really like black both in super and fighterz, it’s more the “everyone uses black so I shouldn’t cuz I’m hip” thing.

@Juggs Ill have to start playing on XB to try and get some games in with you and @freerf245

Well I play on both consoles, but I mainly play on XB1 because I prefer the controller.

You mean his assist when using other team members? I used it for some sweet corner oki with Nappa/Vegeta. Find it quite hard to test how gimmicky setups are in this game tho. Getting there, but the lab could use an overhaul tbh.

Posted already in Nappa thread, hope it’s ok to embed here too:

Justin Wong plays an all Goku team and pretty much beat Punk's ass. 3 Beam assist = Aids

Yep. I mean, it's one thing to get beat by another goku black and a gohan team... or a goku black and kid buu team.. but at least there's a million of them so eventually people will know how to beat it. I just need to learn to brush off reacting correctly to those teams and losing anyway because of delay frames I guess.

It's another thing all together to play people with teams you aren't all that familiar with and realize that those obscure ones are potentially just as good as the billion goku black teams.

I agree. There dont seem to be many bad characters if any. It's just a bit harder to use some of the ones you see less. Right now the game is new. So there's a reason why you see a ton of people using the easily usable characters.

All I know is that I’m never dropping Goku Black. Well, never is a strong word. As long as they don’t nerf him into the ground, which he doesn’t deserve to be, he’s just too fun and too good not to use for me. Same with A.Gohan. A.Gohan is super fun and is at least not AS played as Goku’s and Vegeta’s.

Yep. Vegeta is everywhere just because of that assist. I've also seen an increase in the amount of adult gohans i see too.

Regarding the meaty lights and sparking light followups just randomly hitting through block, i was curious if you noticed this happening at other times too.

Against any ssb or a gohan, it happens when they do hkd into 5H. Its like a free unblockable reset.

Im on at odd times and typically post in this thread or in a status when Im available to play. Anytime that Ive posted no one has responded so I must have bad luck.

 

[TrulyAmiracle]

my name ingame is Yammini, my psn is Yamminiw... can be maybe a dc but I rarely got dced lately so idk

I have it set to show PSNs not in-game tags, mainly because of ragequitters as they keep switching their name once they see that people caught on to their BS and refuse matches with them.
either way this was from like the first few days of release.
I found it funny coz i was typing a message during Gotenks' super on PSN saying "connection wasnt the best but GG, big fan of your green arrow" and then the quit happened so I took a picture and posted it here instead.
