Better based on what? We’ve never played, 90% of my matches are against people better than me so that I can try to improve. Im down to play whoever is willing to give me games.
Like overall lol. I also like playing ppl either higher level than me or around the same thats why i asked.

About the response I was expecting lol. That sucks. Man, such a hype character but my main team is already set in stone so idk if I want to put in that work for a character I'm not competing with.

Thanks for the info though. His 2L is also laughably bad but at least it hits low I guess. 2M isn't totally helpless either though so at least there's that and 236M.
Ya if you're going to play TG, you're going to have to main him. Pocket TG won't work well

It's all so very confusing.
Lol this is what happens when you main A.Gohan since release and then take T.Gohan into the lab for 30 minutes.



No idea if either is optimal. Doubt it, but was just having some fun for a few.

These are really solid. The only issue is that TG very frequently has to burn assists to get in and get his pressure going, and a lot of time you end up left without either for a bit, or possibly just one - which makes that midscreen legs combo pretty nice if you didn't burn Vegeta assist to get started.

Very nice though and a solid option depending on spacing, or if you don't want to bomb loop for corner carry (or like me are just getting tired of how finnicky that fucking combo is and looking for alternatives)

Started messing with block pressure in corner with bardock

236 M is nasty paired with an assist
He can go overhead, jc ki and another over head or just land and low poke or grab.

Without an assist he can vanish from his 236 M almost instantly keeping the turn

Add 236 S and things just get way more savage


Still playing with it, putting it out there so more can explore it

Goodnight sweet prince. May angels sing thee to thy stubby arm and legged rest.. in thy tiny, tiny coffin.

As you voyage into the last sea, where we all must sail someday, may all your assists be Beams. May all your crosses be up. May all your lows be empty and may all your rushes go un-teched.

In the next life, may your arms extend further than your nipples, and your legs further than your own chin.

Netcode... so... bad...
Oddly enough, the connection has actually gotten better since the last update. I hardly experience any stupid lag like i used to. I mean, there's still disconnects from rooms here & there but its not as much as before. Giving me hope that this game is actually getting better. Give it some time, cuz its actually improving faster than Tekken did :)

Only a matter of time before people start complaining about bardock.. because seriously, fxxk bardock. Mr "i always have priority and all of my moves are plus, but also good luck because i can hit through block eventually."

I am so sick of getting hit by mids while i am holding back, and whatever move that is where he does like that hand chop or whatever hits you if you are behind him too? Fxxk that. And wtf is his recovery and range on 2H? It's better than goku blacks. He hit me from almost half screen, and if you make him wiff, he can just do it again anyway.

The biggest problem with this game is how block randomly doesnt work, and i found out that it isnt just an online problem.

Even in training when i am labbing counters to beam vanish, sometimes the beam will just hit me while im blocking. What?

Several times in offline casuals, im blocking, beam or assist just ignores it and hits me. Or the predictable run forward and low with a.gohan or run forward and 5H with other people. Even if you see it and crouch block, you'll get hit sometimes for no reason.

When you are in the air blocking air to airs, if the attacker is higher than you, their attacks will start registering as overheads eventhough you cannot block high or low in the air.

Blocking is so fxxed in this game and it would be nice if it wasnt so random considering the 5 minute block strings.

Wat? Is this even an offline problem?

And thanks for the labbing. Now I know why I couldn't block, even thought I could. Not only in online with @ShArp , but offline with my buddy. Hope they fix this before the next tournies out there.

I mean, i dont know about the blocking situation cuz i know when i get fucked up from blocking is because i try to push buttons in between or the lag fucks up the inputs. It could possibly just be an online issue.

Bardock tho....im starting to see how dirty this asshole can be lol. I got fucked up royally by a very good one last night and his setups were NASTY! He Bardock got me in the corner, hit me with an air 236M which made me bounce and he caught me with a dragon rush. Like WTF!?! I dont think there was anyway i could have gotten out of that! But yeah, Bardock is plus on ALOOOOOOOOOT of shit, especially his spinwheel punch, even on block. Ridic...

The block issue is about the random openings against the even blocking people. Everyone blocks, but for some weird reason they're being opened out of the blue. And this problem happens to all of us trying to block this mass of blockstring pressure.

I mean... i said it happens even in training and offline casuals... so no... its not an online issue. Ive been hit with beams while i am straight up walking backwards because im holding back. Blocking is FXXCKED.

Yeah.. people's complaint about certain characters is how you are forced into defending mixups after knockdowns... yeah... what characters don't do that?

I would LOOOOVE to see video of this to back up your claim. This could be used to show the devs.

The game is very sensitive to movement. So if you’re ever so slightly holding up back or go from back to up back, you’ll chicken block

I suppose it is possible that its this, since chicken block will get you hit because of the jump start up, but i wouldnt notice since i would get hit on the first frame of jumping.

Maybe i am slightly pressing up while im walking backwards? I wouldnt think so but maybe.

Also chicken blocking doesnt apply to being hit with sweeps and lows while crouch blocking, or getting randomly opened up by unblockable air to airs.

Was gunna check when I get home, as pretty sure I tested these for someone... (possibly you?). Thought that was the case tho, thanks for sparing me the double check :)
Yea i jump tested all his moves as soon as i was able to get my hands on him. Bardock does have a lot of safe moves. The one that probably got people thinking he is plus on everything is probably his 236L. That move is only ever so slightly negative, almost neutral on block. Against short limb characters bardock seems able to keep his turn more or less cuz of this.
