so i had some concerns early in beta, ultimately i gave the beta a shot and played like 15+ hours each day lol. i had fun but i do still have some concerns, ultimately i dominated pretty heavily and just based on that i guess i'll keep playing. i've never played anime games before but honestly i won a lot lol.
it's just now letting me post beta clips so i thought i'd post this, i don't see any nappa footage anywhere and i messed with him for a few hours one of the days. it's pretty funny so i thought it might be interesting to post:
also just me dunking somebody for good measure:
again i'm not an anime player but it seemed pretty simple. it was definitely fun, but i do still have concerns. we'll see i guess.
however i don't have concerns about a lot of other stuff i was curious about beforehand. i think the overall mechanics are interesting and should allow for depth, i think the lack of individual character depth is not that relevant.
i do think there was a pretty big balance difference between the beta characters in terms of normals. krillin actually is sort of ridiculous, but his normals seemed so bad to me that he wasn't really usable. his level 1 super damage is completely insane tho when you spend more meter on it. look at this:
still you just pick gohan tho lol. i never really put time into 18 and i think she's probably good. cell was very very good because of all around normals, utility and of course his assist. goku was also good because he wasn't laking in any big area and his assist was super versatile and had lots of applications. gohan just because he kills everyone if you pick him.
i think projectiles that can't be super dashed thru will be a big difference maker between characters. characters that don't have it better have something to compensate, which i think most characters probably will have but who knows. as much as i have every intention of maining nappa 100%, i'm pretty sure his "projectile" can be super dashed and that would mean he probably sucks because he'll rely too much on assists. if it sounds like i'm jumping too far ahead as the game isn't even out yet, it's because i am absolutely doing that and i'm already campaigning for nappa buffs. day 1 patch if not sooner.
