Both lore wise and in the game. He’s so crazy and fun to watch. I eventually want to main him, gotta get better at the game fundamentally first though.
SAME AS FUCK! I really want him in a team with Majin Buu, cuz everytime i see both being played, they seem to get more and more nasty!

3) Mids are all negative, some are unsafe but those are rare. 6M (the universal overheads) are 0 on block. after blocking them 4L twice will beat any button.
people seem to frame Trap. I block their 2 mid, press light and get stuffed bby their lights. It's all internet? And about 6m, on hit I am neutral as well?

It's all so very confusing.

This has been EXACTLY my thinking. He was part of my team at launch.. Hit - 21 - Kid Buu, but since then he was replaced by Frieza because I didnt know how to make him work. I replaced 21 with 16 as well, but after a couple days playing 16 I was having more success, but a lot less fun, so I went back to 21. I'm honestly considering swapping Hit back in though.. I'm not ready to play him well, and my success rate is likely going to take a shit but if it dips down too much I can swap 21 for 16 to fill in that gap some.. But then again, I might just learn the team I want, and deal with being terrible for a while, lol.

And yeah, i didnt know anything about him until DBFz and then you guys showed me the episodes he popped up in and I watched them, and since, he's probably my favorite DB character.

I've been watching some of the better Hit's I can find and how they're using him,. and he's used a lot like his anime counterpart honestly.. Short, to the point little combos that do excellent damage.. You confirm, chain some small stuff together and the damage is solid. He isnt about crazy ass combos that last half an hour and look flashy. A lot of his skill looks like proper hit confirms. He's meant to be tricky and hard to pin down of course.. and Ive seen Sonic do some cool shit by dropping an assist (in his case Black's) and using Hit's command dash to bounce onto the other side of the opponent where you get to set up his M stance mix.. It looked like a special kind of hell to try and block. Even simple stuff an air chain into a 2H that spikes them (the grounded hkd where they slide). land and channel his unblockable.. He has some really cool traps and mix stuff. I can absolutely see why Sonic plays him. His assist is nice and simple, but really easy to extend with. I was able to get pretty easy extensions on 21's Knee and Kid's L grab with out the annoying timing of some. Nice coverage in neutral too.

I dunno man.. I am giving real thought to putting him back in the line-up and going back to my original team.. It'll be kind of a shame though, cause Frieza is legit a lot of fucking fun and his mix of pressure and range and zoning into good damage is a lot of fun. Solid assist too.

Shrug. Its nice to be in a situation where you cant go wrong though, lol

Does anybody know if air Ki blast beat 2H if up close?Question mark? Asking for....MYSELF :)
Yes, 2H is only invincible to airborne attacks, not projectiles. It's one of the ways to beat people that just sit and mash 2H hoping for a lucky hit.
This is obviously very character dependent so you'll need to test around it coz the reward might be not worth the risk of eating a 2H.

You're attacking too late or your light doesn't reach and gets stuffed, they can stagger like for example doing 5M into delayed 2M to catch you pressing buttons but they definitely can't do 5M into a 5L frametrap. There are some + moves some characters have but none of them are a medium attack.
Test it out in training, record the dummy doing 5M or 2M into a 5L and you'll see that you can beat the 5L clean.

6M is 0 on block, on hit they can't combo (outside of assists and sparking) but they're plus so don't press buttons here.

Yesterday I hit them and they pressed on me XD. I didn't wanted to combo, but it seemed really weird that they could beat my light clean after taking an elbow to the face. Internet wonders.

I jump tested it. It seemed to be around -2. I tested doing it and then immediately blocking. Lights were blocked every single time. Maybe there's gaps.

@Juggs yep, the game is sort of deep and there's a bunch of tech coming out, but one of the things i noticed about that is all of the cool mechanics don't matter all that much because in a lot of cases (too many in my opinion), super dashing or mashing is just straight up better.

Like... "im gonna use this assist and cover my iad forward and then try a mixup or block string, then call an assist to link a 6M or try to iad back and wiff punish a counter."

"Oh thats neat. I picked goku black and mashed light. I win"
Have to agree with you there there's also the stupidity of auto combos turning the character around if they get crossed up and the they hit you anyway.

Hit's a lot of fun; I'm glad I stuck with him, and I now consider him my best and most fun to play character.

The one thing I will say is that his M stance is kind of a bill. It's good to throw out full screen mostly for the LLL followup, and it can occasionally be thrown out after 236S if you're in your opponent's head. But generally if you cancel block strings into it directly or throw it out midscreen, any followup can and will get stuffed by just about everything. When I started canceling my block strings into 236LL or 236SL, that was a turning point for me that gets a lot of mileage. Meanwhile, his footsies with MH are just beastly.

frieza , black and kid buu will make a good team ?
I'd say so. Realistically Black works absolutely anywhere and with absolutely anyone, and Kids one of the best characters in the game with an absolutely beastly assist. Frieza's assist is good too for the usual extension related reasons but it's also big and flashy and visually busy which is excellent when you're trying to cover pressure and setup mix opportunities. I don't see that team having any trouble shitting on people.

Team would seem flexible in terms of order too, though it seems like Black shines the most when he has a little meter.

HUNNy! We need to play sometime! I wanna how good I fair against you ;) What room you be at the most?
I told you before we can try, but dunno how a US to Dubai connection is gonna hold up. Add my PSN (same tag as here) if you still wanna give it a shot but I'll probably be a flipbook kinda match.

DBFZ ranked experience:


This guy is top 6 on the XB1 ranking leaderboard. I didn’t even play well or do anything crazy, he’s just bad. I really really hope they implement some harsh punishments for ragequitters.

I don’t think he was bad, just u went beast mode lol. But that rage quit lolol salt is real

Yeah, he wasn’t necessarily bad. I just can’t stand the fact that people can RQ for basically free in this game. Like normally I Love ragequitters, but in this game they’re just annoying.

Also, played the #1 ranked player on XB1. He is NOT a ragequitter and is really good. He whooped my ass, 4-1. Glad there’s SOME players who are in the top 10 who are actually legitimately great players.
