We are getting the online modes (battle, trading techniques), only the Raids aren't completely confirmed, although considering how we have to recruit Zamasu and Fused Zamasu, the raids probably are there too.

 

[KelpPlankton]

The confirmation of the online stuff is really great to see. And coming monday for the US, too! Very excited to dive back into the game with this new content, this is probably my favorite Dragonball game now.

Last thing I remember doing in Fusions was trying to recruit Beerus. It took like 4 separate days and I still didn't end up with him.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

Man, this fucking game still isn't out in Australia yet...

 

[Samurai Penguin]

Out here in Australia this friday. Same day as Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition

 

[LinkSlayer64]

Monday!? YES!!! ALSO I finally found this OT! This is one RPG I have been unable to put down at all.

It hasn't been mentioned there, but if they're including everything else, the update also should be including a new area where it's easy to find rare characters. Although it apparently has a daily limitation of uses.

Did they ever add swords back into the North American version yet?

The only chance this has of happening is the patch releasing tomorrow, but I don't think it's likely.

The sticks thing is super weird because there's powers that are just straight up "shoot people with a real-world gun" that characters like Hercule get.

On a related note, the Majin Hercule fusion (Buu + Hercule) using a real-world gun to 'beam struggle' with things like spirit bombs or special beam cannons, is hilarious.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

They nerfed Mach Move fuuuu

 

[NeonZ]

There are some tweaks to some movesets. Most of them seem to have been done to allow some fusions to use unique fusion attacks now - for example, Goku (Turtle gi) now can use Ultra Spirit Bomb, which means that his fusion with Broly now has access to Gigantic Spirit Bomb.

Vegeta (Saiyan Saga) now can use the God-like Big Bang Attack, which gives the Yamcha/Vegeta fusion the Big Bang Spirit Ball.

Also, full movesets for all avatar types listed bellow, including gender exclusive attacks.

I chose to be an Alien but they seem as though they have the worst moveset, God dammit.

 

[SolicitorPirate]

Aliens seem laughably slow. Even as a speed type, Trunks gets like 3 turns before I do. Is there any way to fix this, or am I screwing myself over by playing an Alien?

 

[NeonZ]

Yeah, aliens have the slowest base speed (Aliens < Saiyans < Humans < Namekians < Offworlders). Aliens do have the strongest melee though, and melee attacks are generally the most damaging ones. Later on, there are some characters with the skill "First Striker" that allows them to act before characters without that skill, and you can always fuse with them.

 

[bumpkin]

I wish they'd put out a demo on the eShop (in the US). I was a huge DBZ fan back in the day and the trailers have me intrigued.

The game's worth picking up if you're even vaguely interested in it. It's a lot of fun. And if you've got a discount through Amazon or Best Buy it's only like $20ish

 

[Rizzi]

Played a few hours since it finally released here a few days ago. Pretty solid. I seem to have out-levelled the story by a fair margin though.

 

[Lagamorph]

Enjoying the game so far, but sadly the European version is also censored like the US version after all

 

[Lagamorph]

Ok, really not liking the Zenkai attacks to recruit people system.
The ultra gauge takes waaaay to long to fill up. Especially considering the game makes it really easy to get massively overpowered very early on and oneshot peolle, so you're left with no choice but to charge ki endlessly while the opponent attacks you and very slowly fills the gauge.

Even worse, if you get a Zenkai attack that KOs multiple opponents to try and save time, you still only get to recruit one of them.

Keep a character with an attack that heals or give stat boosts to multiple characters at once - although I guess if you're still in the beginning of the game you won't have anything like that. Those healing/boost attacks with multiple targets fill the gauge very quickly.

Finally got a streetpass fusion to happen!

Arale + SSJ Blue Vegito

she's the strongest

 

[SkywardBeam]

Any tipps how to make my Alien CaC a bit faster? I knew they are the slowest race when I chose my character, but their customization options were just too good for me to ignore them (you can basically create a blue Radditz, how cool is that?!). So I went with speed type to at least get the fastest Alien possible, but that unfortunately is still extremely slow. I'm not that far into the story (3rd floor of the world, still can't fuse characters), so I was hoping that there are at least characters who can boost an ally's speed. But no luck so far :/
It's certainly not a deal breaker as the fights aren't really hard and my CaC packs quite a punch, it's just kinda frustrating when every other character gets two or even three possibilities to attack before my CaC gets even one :/

I love this system but it's super annoying that we can't just fuse anyone like this and use them in game at will.

God damn, that looks amazing lol.

Are streetpass fusions special or is this possible via EX fusion?

 

[KelpPlankton]

Unfortunately this isn't doable via EX fusion. EX fusions (except for with the CaC) are pre-set combos with custom models and movesets. Streetpass lets you just mash together whoever you want and it kind of scrambles model bits and colors together for you from the two characters involved.

It's unfortunately a huge pain in the butt to get a Streetpass fusion done if you want a specific combo of characters, and even if you're just kind of looking for anything at all it can take forever since not a lot of people own this game even in areas where you can get lots of Streetpasses.

I got lucky after trying to get one since launch back in november. finally happened.

There are techniques to boost ally's speed, and alien cac itself can get a self speed boost. There are also some characters you can fuse with that come with a skill that boosts speed or to attack first (First Striker for the later, can't remember what's the name of the speed boosting one).

 

[Nightbird]

This Game is way more fun than i thought it would be.

I have a hard time deciding if i like this or Budokai Tenkaichi 3 more haha

 

[McGruber21]

This game absolutely surprised me. It's my favorite Dragonball game since the original Budokai on PS2/GC. I love the animation, the open worlds, the amount of characters, the battle mechanics are awesome too. I really hope there is a sequel for 3DS or Switch. If you are a Dragonball fan this is a must buy

 

[Lagamorph]

Ok, can someone please explain how the fuck recruitment actually works?

I just spent over an hour grinding battles on the 7th floor to get G rank rifts in order to get Beerus and Whis to appear. Finally got them to appear, both had stars indicating they could be recruited. Took out Beerus with a Zenkai attack, he didn't get scouted. Took out Whis with another Zenkai attack, he didn't get scouted either.

This has happened on multiple characters to me now. I lost SSJ Broly like this as well. Had a star, took him out with Zenkai, no recruitment. I thought it was because he bounced off other players, but Whis and Beerus didn't. Beerus was a ring out, Whis wasn't, so it doesn't seem dependant on any of those.
The recruitment through Zenkai attacks is a bad enough system as it is without throwing random failures into it, especially when you have to endlessly fight the same scrubs over and over and over just to make timeholes appear.

 

[NeonZ]

The higher the damage you cause with the Zenkai attack, the higher are the chances of recruitment. That's explained in the game's tips section. For G ranking enemies, it's usually recommended to go with very strong attacks with a character of their opposite type - SSJ (the player and generic character skill, not the characters from the show) also is very useful for that. If they block, there's basically no chance of success.

You can make unique characters appear fairly easily by going into the Ziku-kan Radar area (Streetpass control pannel in the ship) and opening portals with black stars + the symbol of the type of character you want.

 

[BakedTanooki]

I just discovered that there is a steelbook version, exclusive to spain.
Would love to own it, but wonder if it's playable in english.
I 99% assume yes, because they usually make just one version for Europe, but does anybody here know for sure?

Edit:

Just bought it anyway, because there was only one left, at that nice price.
Guess I just have to learn spanish, if there is no English on the cartridge

Edit 2:

Ah, back box art mentions english subtitles. Very good.

 

[Samurai Penguin]

I managed to finally show this game to my nephew yesterday, who is a huge DB nut. He asked if i could buy him a copy.

I first went to Base.com where I got it for like $35 Aust, but they were sold out. I have since checked everywhere I can think of that sell the PAL region (EBGames, JBhifi, Ozgameshop, Mighty Ape, etc) and NO ONE has it available. It has sold out everywhere.

 

[BakedTanooki]

Yeah it's sold out everywhere here in the EU, even online.

Got my copy from a Spanish Shop on eBay.
Was 45€ + shipping.
It's coming with a steelbook, which was exclusive there.

He got one left.

[ryushe]

Hey, so the game's on sale for $14.99 on the US eShop until June 20th.

http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/dragon-ball-fusions-3ds

Honestly not sure about the other regions though.

Anyway, played it for about an hour and man, I'm not sure what I expected, but I'm constantly surprised at how much fun the game is. The battle system especially since it has a mix of marbles, Grandia's turn order mechanic and Fire Emblems weapon triangle (which is just rock, paper, scissors). Highly recommend if you're a Dragon Ball fan.
