Considering dropping freiza. Need to find an assist that works similarly to his.

What does ginyu's assist do? Just played a dude with a ginyu anchor and it was ridonkykong.

It's like Yamchas but it launches you away instead of leaving you standing. It's okay. Nappa's assist is just a better version of Frieza's imo.

Yeah. Nappas does more damage too. I guess i'd have to learn nappa. Gotta see if nappas assist works the same timing wise and if it works for command grab hkd reset

Well frame data definitely isn’t as important in this game, to be fair. So many things that are negative can be covered by assists or special/2H/superdash canceled into.

Just test stuff in the lab. Be thankful you have a good training mode. I come from a game that didn’t even have one let alone have frame data available, lol. The dark ages!

what ? frame data are very important in this game imo. i keep finding plus strings that i though were just safe

I just found out everyone can do a fast fall, not like gohans of course, but still faster than normal. Air back dash then down. Any one play with this for combo extension possibilities?

can someone school me... the "frame data" is fucking savage in this game, two characters do the same thing and its drastically different..... pushback, assist, and auto combo makes everything ambiguous and hard to read.... like does frame data even fucking matter or you just gotta be lucky like fml I'm not a fighting game noob but wtf.... HELP!!!!!

SonicFox HAS to be an Android. He is absolutely ridiculous at this game, he just won NLBC again and didn’t lose a single game. Obviously not surprised he won, although HOW dominant he is definitely is a little surprising based on how long the game has been out.

Anyslut, it’s super fun playing on the PS4 as a white square and having less than 10 ranked games played. I’ve purposely been trying to fight yellow and orange squares and bodying them. They leave after one match, and send me messages like “no way you’re a new player, what an ass”, or “nice smurf account nerd”... hahaha!

I swear I’m not good at this game yet. But these plebs stroke my ego and it feels so good.

Frame data only gets you so far in any game. You need to check out YouTube for tutorials.

Here's a Reddit thread that'll get you started on the mechanics of the game.

From there you will find the answers you seek if you look through the comments.

Why dropping Frieza? Just curious.

I'm actually dropping 21 probably.. picking up 16 instead.

This is slightly random, but Kid Buu isn't as bad as people are making him out to be. I watch people holding his M's when they are punishable and I just shake my head. Yeah, there's a mindgame to the punish, but it's NOTHING like Cell (as a for instance).

The scumbag in me wants to pick Cell, Black and either Vegeta, 18 or Kid or AGohan or something and just rolling my controller around on the floor and pull wins.

I'm not whinging about balance or anything, I feel like as we progress the meta and tech of the game things will settle and in 6 weeks or so we'll have a better understanding of what's genuinely STRONG vs weak vs easy.. it's just a shame to see so much lack of creativity in such a creative and interesting game.. everyone just jumps.on the FotM character/team dick and screams how they are just SO FUN TO PLAY OMG.. until some new bullshit shows up at tournament, then it turns out they secretly always wanted to play whatever that happened to be BECAUSE ITS SO FUN TO PLAY. Etc.

I'm nothing special here, running Frieza, 16 (was 21) and Kid Buu. I'm certainly not breaking new ground.

We're all from Earthrealm. If not, cool pic brah.
I think I'm gunna shuffle Kid Buu out because the main tech I wanted him for feels quite impractical

Looking like I'm going to settle on

Beerus / Frieza / Piccolo

I have faith in Piccolo anchor

After watching Grover’s vegeta last night, gonna stick with him. Vegeta can do some sick stuff I had clue he could do. Grover’s combos are actually ridiculous. Too bad his neutral isn’t as good, he got bopped by SF, eventhough some of the games were close.

Boy I sure love not being able to play with any friends without running an Olympian gauntlet. :rolleyes:

Also, what's the story behind reflect? I believe I read -40 on whiff somewhere but can you cancel a successful reflect into any normals or specials?

Do Cell. I was hesitant to play him but I started playing him yesterday and he’s real fun.

He's too slow. Playing him as zoning works but that's not really my thing, plus it doesnt work all that great in this game with SD blowing up everything on reaction.

Kid buu's mediums are NOT punishable. Its minus but not punishable. If he cancels with anything or uses any assist, you lose. If he doesnt, you arent punishing, you're making him block. You are forced to risk that or just hold it or reflect from half a screen away. He's so small that his sd pushes him outside of any range on block, so its not plus but it may as well be. You cant dash over his mediums from any range because it eill just advance him forward and you cant hit him anyway.

Hes just as bad as people say. Only thing that makes goku black better is that he gets to do exactly this with lights.

So I’ve noticed there’s not really point and anchors in the traditional sense, imo. It’s more like 3 point characters that complement each other. You don’t necessarily need a Vegeta for his assist like most people have. Just use 3 characters that can all do fine on their own, but also benefit from the help of assists.

RIGHT!? And THATS what ppl fail to realize! So stuck on teams, they're not even optimal with their each character individually. Once u learn the three you want to use, THEN you start to figure out combos, extenstions, team confirms, etc for your team.

Uncle JBeezY's is coming along RIGHTEOUS! Nappa and Vegeta are a perfect pairing, but found good way to confirm with Kid Buu with BOTH assists.

Combos in this game take you far, BUT learning your character inside and out first will give you a better understanding on how to play the neutral for you to open up your opponent to do those combos. I just looooove how everything is starting to gell! ;)
