Oh geez, Freedom Kick has proven to be a more important move in PvP than I ever imagined.
You know how Frieza clan are pretty untouchable when they start dashing around? Freedom Kick's tracking, range and speed says FUCK THAT! and stomps even the smallest, fastest Frieza clan into the ground mid-dash. Effortlessly

Really? Huh... I thought it was later on for some reason.
Is Freedom Kick the move that makes a person fly around wildly, kicking an enemy like a homing missle? Because if so it gets completely shut down by any damage whatsoever.
Indeed it is, and indeed it does. But when people are dashing, they're not dealing damage. At least to the direction I'm coming from
It is, and it does. Rebellion spear is better for catching runners if you know how to use it.

I suppose that's true. Beginning or leaving a dash takes too long to really react to anything.
Anything that autoheals I'd say. Superguard or whatever would also be useful. IIRC there's no melee attack-boosting z-souls, so defense is the best option.
As to specific z-souls... I can't remember any of their names. Sorry.

So, you lot who've had the game for a while, how are you enjoying it? I'm a longtime Dragonball fan, and I'm interested in this game taking things in a different direction. What exactly is the structure like though, and how much does it differ from something like a traditional Tenkaichi game in just being a series of fights?
It does kinda require you to be in same altitude though. Also I like the possibility of the final kick landing, and me ending up right next to the enemy, rather than throw them away with Rebellion Spear.
I like how you can combo Rebellion spear into itself though. While they're flying away you have a lot of options too. It doesn't require you to be in the same altitude, just nearly, you can still adjust it so long as you don't let go of the trigger.
No way, would take the fun out of it.
Only tried one online PQ and it's better than replaying the few that I have now, so I'll just probably do that.
Yep, even had trouble with Nappa/Vegeta at first before I learned you could heal mid-battle.
Game is growing on me though.

Time to display my mentoring incompetence again:
When you give Piccolo the healing capsule he asks for, is he supposed to immediately invite you to a sparring match again? I got disconnected and now can't seem to trigger it.

I think there was supposed to be 12. Seems like it hasn't got a full rollout of content yet.

Alright, thanks. Not sure which it would be in this case, I'll just give him some time.
Two questions for anyone who could help
First , is there an extensive list of advanced combos / vanishing techniques
Secondly, your made character, can you ever change their combat style? or depending on your race are you stuck with that style? Because i've played as some of the earth warriors like yamcha and tien whose basic combos I really liked.

So.... today I had some insanely good RNG.
I went and decided to try and get Super Electric Strike, for example, and the first time I got the Androids revived and got the Ultimate Finish is when I got SES. Amazing.
Then, I went and got Super Vanishing Ball, Vanishing Ball, Super Vegeta 2, and a bunch of other supers/ultimates that I didn't have. I also got a piece of the Yardrat clothes (still want to get the rest) and the regular Big Bang Kamehameha (even though I know the regular super version kinda sucks).
Crazy good luck today all around lol. Barely had to farm a single PQ more than 5 times (save for PQ 38, I think).

Grats! Now you can make more characters!
Mostly to do with the rewards it hands out. More content would warrant more PQs.
Speaking of which, it looks like completing GT's time patrols doesn't reward you with SSJ4 Goku and Super 17. Which is kind of dumb! I know how they're unlocked, but they could of given more incentive behind the DLC instead of "oh, right, here's some story to those unlockables"
No, it's just RNG. Well, the last two balls have a lower drop rate than the other 5.

Is it true only PC got the DLC early?
Anyone on PS4 or X1 can confirm the new stuff isn't there yet?

I'm sick of the RNG. I like the combat but all of these random rewards and random events and conditions ruin the game for me. Absolutely not even going to bother getting my character to level 80. Hell, even grinding to get an AoE ultimate so I can beat the Bardock mission sounds more tedious than it deserves to be.
Think I'm pretty much done. Honestly liked Battle of Z better than this. Felt more polished.

'I am ..Super Vegeta' should be much higher than a 2-star Z-Soul. One of the best in the game for KI centric Saiyans, imo. It only negs Strike Supers, which you shouldn't be using anyway with Ki builds, and makes any SSJ transformation much more powerful. Super Vegeta 2 essentially becomes Super Vegeta 3 -- that combo does a ridiculous amount of damage.
Ahhhhhh~
The description only mentions super saiyan. So, I thought it was only that.
So it DOES work for super vegeta? I was curious of this. Was going to run my own tests, but I think you've saved me the trouble.
But is it stronger than Super Saiyan Bargain Sale? Bargain Sale has better stats.

It does. I'm judging the damage mostly with an eyeball test, and gauging how quickly enemies die, but I just a tested for a duration boost and it increased my SV2 time by about 10 seconds. Not too bad.
I haven't grabbed that one yet, but from what I can gather it gives you a larger duration boost for SSJ/SV but no damage boost.

Does anyone know what the budget for this game was?

If I delete a character, will I lose whatever equipment they're wearing? I'm assuming no, but I'm afraid to try it lol.
no....

Super 17 is unlocked after you wish for "More characters" from Shenron for the 2nd time.

Same. Didn't know why I got a gift from system with a 4-star dragon ball. Interesting that everyone else seems to have gotten one as well.

With the season pass content coming soon I'm getting even more excited for when Jaco is finally playable outside of Japan! Sucks he's being released towards the end of the DLC, but I'm still pump! Can't wait to style!
Yeah, I also got a dragonball. Forgot to mention that.

Man how do you beat Cell :<
I beat his first saga already, but now I'm on his next fight with Trunks and he's always invulnerable like 90% of the fight. In that much time Trunks always dies...

The DLC just gave Mentor Tien one of the best niche Z-souls ever
Not invulnerable. Unstaggerable. That super armor is based on damage and when you deal enough, Cell becomes staggerable for 10-15 seconds. If you can't hammer in the damage to break the armor, level up a bit and come back
