I just got SS Vegeta’s Special 01 lobby avatar on login. Didn’t know you could get them besides blue. Any others out there and know how they’re unlocked?
Is it a z-union thing?

I will say, when the connections are good...it's amazing tho >_<

I haven't played ranked in months. (I stopped at SSJ2) but I'm now hovering around the 460k mark and still climbing. The new patch is fantastic. I have so many things I need to tighten up in my gameplay, but it's nice to see it coming together.

Trunks, Begeta, and Goku Black are a nice tandem. I just need to get better with Begeta's options when he is in. I am still not 100% comfortable with him yet. I also need to tighten up my assists for pressure. I've been exposed a couple times because my pressure was fake.

Does anyone here use a six button fight pad like the Hori FC for this game? Trying to finally get into it again and wanted some insight into what layouts others might be fucking with.

Hori pad is fine but not on PS4. You need a controller with a touchpad for this game or give up on shortcuts for Super Dash or Dragon Rush.

Hori FC has a toggle to turn the left trigger and bumper (L1 & L2) into the analog stick clicks (L3 & R3) and you can assign those as buttons so you won’t lose any shortcuts. My only issue is figuring out what buttons I want where lol.

Still. DBFZ all of those - L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3 - by defaul have already assigned funcion - (R3, L3 - records and plays dummy in training mode). You can't assign all without touchpad.

I use a Hori FC pro and tbh I don't really mess with the layout, it's fine as is (for me). Only thing that can be a bit irritating is resetting position in practice mode but otherwise meh.

Hit Demon, got my square updated too. Nice to see progress after a long lay off.

But man, I had to shut the game off last night. I was up 2-0 in a set and lost 2-3. Guy just started going ham with bardock and vegito auto combos. I know their's are in particular very strong and I had to adjust/learn to deal but it tipped me over the edge haha

Bardock auto combo triggers me like little else lol, I swear it ignores frame traps somehow. Also confirms off literally any stray touch too, makes it hella powerful online where confirming can be harder with the connection issues....

Speaking of Vegito, I’ve been using basegeeta, vegito, ssj Vegeta for the last few days and on paper the team doesn’t really scream synergy but has been really working for me...prob cuz I’m a vegeta player at heart so I’m automatically more comfortable....

I actually had this same issue for a while and it is kinda character dependent. Most characters can IAD jLL and it covers all recovery options but for some characters their jL has too shitty of a hitbox to cover up tech. I usually do sjH for those characters. But most of it is timing so go to practice, turn on light attack as the ai's counter attack, set their ground tech to up, and practice the timing for your oki.
 
Summer Jam right around the corner and I really regret using Ginyu so much in place of Piccolo on my team. I see so much potential in that character but just don't have the practice time.

I think im going to go in with Krillin, Piccolo, and Yamchad.
