Just saw the video of Chris G 3-0ing Tatsu in GFs at DragonBrawl and my goodness, he is an absolute monster at this game

He's one of the very few players I've seen who I reckon could take out Fox in tourney

I tend to do the same a little. Lab for a really long time. Watch vids or read posts or study resources. Go online. Lose then rinse and repeat.

I try to always challenge myself against stronger people. Even if I lose 100 matches I still try to make sure those 100 matches aren't free and I do my damn best to make him or her work hard for it.

I've actually started watching my footage to see where I went wrong. I'm always down to play whoever but I honestly prefer to play those that are better than me.

With that 2H you'll probably slice the whole damn kitchen, Edgelord Rosé.


I'm patiently waiting for DLC at this point and hoping one of them (Not Bardock or any Goku) has a sick assist so I can anchor them on my team instead of Tien. The whole life drain is rubbing me the wrong way lately when you have multiple characters that can enhance their level 3 supers without giving up 50% of their health.
He's in my top 2 favorite DB characters but man I feel he's one of the few characters where they missed the mark with implementing all his moves and he had SO many, mainly coz his moveset is based on DBZ/Super where he does fuckin nothing.
That being said they still managed to make him pretty unique but I wish he had more of his original DB moves instead of LoltribeamIkillmyself..

Also I lost my orange square coz I was playing with my secondary team against some friends and now even after winning like 20 ranked matches in a row against yellow and higher squares I'm still yellow :(
MAAAAAAN I feel you! Been bounced to yellow too. Its really hard now to find higher level players now and trying new teams/characters online is basically a mop session....so im just sticking to casuals for now.

Im looking for a new team that meshes well with Frieza. I think hes my new love :)

They are. I used to go to tournaments a loooonnnnnggggg time ago lol. Back in the late 90's early 2000's it was beyond fun. Lil meet ups nothing like today's standard. Anyways You learn a lot in person and there's nothing like getting cheers and props in person even if you lose. You go to have fun. Meet people. Play games all day or afternoon. Settle beefs and scores and get recked by not checking your ego at the door. Fun times.

I wouldn't worry about top players either. Remember. They all started out the exact same way as you. We all learn at a different pace or different ways. Taking your own time to master a difficult move 1000 times or labbing difficult match ups & punishing the opponent a clutch situation without so much as a single thought is far better than pulling off flashy or something else that you would see a pro player do.

Like I tell my daughter.

Crawl. Walk. Then run.

Really good points, thanks for sharing your experience. My time passed before it really even started. Opportunity isn't there for me due to my circumstances. I'll still enjoy the game to the best of my ability, learn and grow with those I have the opportunity to play with online and through this forum.

It's all so very confusing.
Wow. Just.. wow.

I cycled Black in last night for some matches instead of Buu.. was running him point just for kicksies.

Jesus

I know nothing about him beyond the usual basic shit that works on every character and a few minor things I've seen from watching him on every team ever forever and always never not.. it's sad that I had more success with him than my Kid just doing some basic shit. He's huge fun though and just mega strong.

Now I'm not saying he's so amazingly powerful compared to Kid or anything silly like that, just that he's so fundamentally solid it's crazy. Kid feels hit and miss for me, I'll get rolling and steamroll or I'll end up cold and fighting for that momentum, where-as Black felt at home snowballing out of control, or playing from behind, playing fast or slow. Super super fun character.

Dunno if he's replacing Kid exactly because I won't not play Kid, but he mmiigghhtt end up cycling back and forth occasionally. I could replace 21 with Black but I'm finally starting to open up a little with 21 and get her assist extensions down and it's ssuuppeerrr satisfying. Hit has literally become my best character, and all my training partners say he scares them the most, and again, just really getting to grips with his potential.

Fucking love this game.

See, this is why we're gaming brothas cuz WE ARE THE SAME!! U know i rocked Kid Buu since the beginning but ive been feeling the exact way. Kid Buu either murders or gets murdered right at the beginning. His health is super weak, so only 3 bad guesses can kill him right off the bat. Ive been sticking with Black for the exact same reasons you stated. He has all the perfect tools to control any situation, and his combos are strong as fuck!

My "issue" with Kid is just that I'm not great on him, he has this really fast and frenetic pace and you have to confirm into shit super quick and effectively and that's something I'm not great at. I also have a bad habit of going full idiot and forgetting to think on Kid, so I need to level myself up as a player. Black is just enticing because he's just so damn good, everywhere and has such insane synergy.

Kids assist is great but I've had real trouble using it effectively, which again is purely my fault.

Im going to keep plugging away on him for sure, but Black is just so strong in such a fundamental way.

Kid's assist is tricky to pull off becuz his timing is super delayed from other assist. And with the controller structure, it doesn't make it easy to do so even I don't know how to use it effectively, yet. But as of now, looking at Frieza and guess who else i found out looking to master him.....Foxy Grampa.....figures....

Frieza is really good, he can do a lot of work. His 2H isnt as good as it's made out to be, but he has some nice shit, and decent damage if you spend the bar. Hes billed as a zoner but I'm not entirely sure that's right, he feels more mid-rangy to me. There isn't really zoning in this game in the first place, the structure doesn't allow it, unless you're just out-classing your opponent, but then you can win any way you want.

Frieza felt very heavily read based and I don't usually like characters like that myself.


Found the edit function.

@JBeezYBabY Not to nit-pick, but Kid doesn't have low health.. everyone is equal at 10k according to everything I've read.

That's kind of the challenge tho. He's not really a zoner like an NRS character, but he does have the most effective zoning tools out of all the characters in this game to keep you at bay. Been learning on how to implement all his moves to control the match because a simple Super Dash can go thru some of his moves. THATS when the heavy reads come into play. This character is a complete mind game, but once you lock them down maaaaan does it feel good :)

All too easy...
Broly with those IGAU Bane proportions, gimme gimme.

Also, Frieza is rape idk how randos downplay him. His only perceivable weakness to me is he cant AA directly above his head. Other than that he has the nuetral, damage, mobility, safe confirms... really everything you would need, plus stuff no one else has like an extra comeback mechanic with golden frieza mode and extra ways to spend meter. Easily one of the best characters in the game imo and one of the best anchors if not the best.

Who the hell said Frieza was bad? He's extremely good.

I think Broly will be hella unique in some special way that no other character can do. Maybe go up to lvl 8 meter? Maaaaybe more armor than 16? Maaaaaybe 3 lvl 3 supers? I feel its gonna be something that EVERYBODY is gonna want to have on their team.
