Dragon Ball FighterZ

You sure?

I used @Sasuke99I method, and although I can’t assure its thank to this method or not, I’m getting matches, but not instantly

I’m super noob at this game yet (training room please!!!), but basic auto combos and a little understanding about fg basics carries you pretty far away. Until now I only lost a single match, game is super fun, and I’m eager to test stuff in the lab prior jumping online

Here is the last set I played today

Just got back from hiking in Malaysia. Looks like I was right to not get excited for the beta :sweat_smile:

It’s pretty frustrating though that the X1 version is STILL basically non-functional. That is incredibly bs :unamused_face:

Honestly that sounds awesome and I would miss a beta for that too

It appears is not the only one. A friend of mine hasn’t found a single match in hours in his PS4.

I’m all about getting the game, but I’m probably going to wait until knowing that the game’s online is good enough

It’s bit better than last time, though. The game runs great despite the delay-based netcode. Playing this game feels very good.

Yup same thing here for us on our PS4

Everyone is canceling my matches :frowning:

Are they players that have 5 bar connections? That’s happening to me as well and I think that’s a bug.

Yup. Always 5 bars

I had two of my matches. Lost big time! but it was fun/

Xbox One servers are down along with Halo 5 and GoW 4.

Well boys. Am cancelling my pre order. This beta seems worse than the alpha and during my matches and trials I haven’t had fun tbh. It’s like playing KI but just with auto combos on. The game seems to reward just doing auto combos and doing random stuff. I don’t know man. I wanted something a bit slower and calculated.

Monster Hunter World here I come.

Well I think the premise of auto combos in KI and auto combos in this game have the same strengths and weaknesses. While auto combos are easier to do the more optimal and harder combos that can be done will net you more damage over time.

Wanna try out Dissidia? That beta’s still gonna be up for a while. It’s really fun if only pretty different from a traditional fighter.

But yeah, I don’t think I’m gonna be buying this game either. This beta was gonna be my deciding factor and I just don’t have enough reason to care anymore. I’m more excited Blazblue Tag AND it’s DLC anyway. Couldn’t get a single match the entire time I played so I couldn’t really test out the things that I wanted to. If this is what the beta’s like weeks away from release, I can only imagine what the final product will be like.

Yeah, not going to happen in an ArSys game, which are all fast paced

There’s nothing wrong wanting a more slow paced game, but you don’t have to play the beta to know that this game is not going to be one.

Still, although I understand your impressions about the game (rewards autocombos and random stuff), I don’t agree. They work NOW, since nobody had the chance to lab it properly, but we are already seeing some specialists who are capable to do awesome long-damaging combos which doesn’t follow the auto combos pattern.

Also, there are definitely some mind games in this game which only takes surface when you are used to the mechanics. Rb wins Rt (forgot the names, ā€œgrabā€ vs ā€œpersecutionā€ kinda moves, respectively), rb loses to fireballs, fireballs wins to rt… we are not used to this and there are some complex rules here.

What I do really like is that DBZF is super friendly to new players, but is deeper than it looks and has room to some great stuff from the specialists. Day 1 fights are going to be super different than two months later.

Still, I’m not preordering until I know for sure that you can actually play online. Which means that I’m probably going to buy the game two weeks after launch.

And speaking about the game…

IMO with the beta impressions I have, adult Gohan may be the best character right now. Fight me xD

Adult Gohan is the best character so far imo. He synergizes really well with Frieza from what I can see. Using assists well is also going to be key form what I’ve seen. It’s not always possible to react to super dashes so just doing down heavy into assist seems really good. Here is an example in this match http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Sasuke%2099I/video/42400162
Mainly at 1:05 I was using projectiles as Frieza and used Gohan’s assist incase they super dashed at me.

This fight is the prime example about what I was saying:

Your opponent here was mostly only using autocombos and ā€œyoloā€ RT(chasing) attacks, while you were using much more complex combos, a good strategy for zoning, synergy supers(Frieza combo → aerial super → Gohan’s upgrade super → Gohan extends the combo), and so.

Even when your opponent could adapt, like, a single one bar super would have beaten both Frieza’s zoning and Gohan’s assist, yet he never tried. And if you see your opponent doing this, then you try with another approach, not opening yourself to raw supers, which deals decent damage, as opposed as they do mid combos, where they scale pretty hard.

Right now we only have a few characters avaible, imagine the juice we may get once we get all.

Looks like the beta is getting extended while they work out the kinks:
