Dragon Ball fighterz switch out on Friday! (Update: Out Now)
- Thread starter Twinguistics
- Start date
Geeze, did I hit a nerve?
I was specifically talking about people that are double dipping. Which is what I said.
Because if you're only buying it on Switch, you can play with a stick or Pro Controller.
But if you're double dipping, that means you're playing it on the go because that's what the Switch offers over the platform you already bought it for. If that's the case, then they're playing with the JoyCon, which is terrible for fighting games. If you're just playing casually, who cares? But if you're double dipping, that means you're serious enough about the game that playing on JoyCon would be very frustrating.
Unless people are bringing their sticks to a hotel with their Switch or something on trips, I simply do not understand double dipping on this.
Not going to happen. That requires a lot of extra work on arcsys's end. Not even NRS does crossplay because of how much more overhead there is. Correct me if I'm wrong, Capcom with SFV is the only fighting game to ever allow crossplay.
You could bring your Pro and use it in tabletop mode, on a plane, in a hotel, etc. I know someone who traveled to BBTag tournaments and had the Switch version on hand to practice with in his hotel room. Etc, etc.
Also, this game doesn't feel bad with the joycons at all. It's definitely the best feeling out of all the fighting games not called ARMS on Switch. I was able to pull off all my combos with zero effort in the beta.
There's Killer Instinct as well.
I'm not sure if it's really that it takes much more work considering most cross-play titles in existence right now are indie games. I think Japanese devs just aren't really clued in on the idea.
Well, personally, I have a joycon with a D-Pad modded on to it, so I'm fine on that front. Kind of a hard sell for double dippers otherwise though, yeah.
You have to build your own backend to handle all the match making etc and not offload it to PSN/Steam etc, that's not a trivial thing to add. Indie games might have it easier since they don't have to have rigorous matchmaking conditions.
Not a nerve. It's an obnoxious question though. I don't understand anyone who would want to spend $100 on a joystick but it's that it brings joy to the people who find enjoyment in it... so I avoid pontificating about something it would be dumb to pontificate about.
I am not sure I want to buy a literal stress inducer as I have the PS4 version already and its multiplayer options are still severely lacking.
What's this one going to do, magically introduce new and better ways to play online?
I ended up playing no casual at all because that's where the demo-gods seemed to hang out for easy wins against folk like me.
Excuse me while I put my other hat on.
I was enjoying learning my new stick and even won a few ranked matches with-without it because I rightfully was put in the cellar with other folk.
I am seriously considering annoying people in the OT to try the 8bitdo SFC30 pad with this. It'll need configuration first but it's doable.

This isn't even a response to what I said.
I'm perfectly willing to be told by someone why they are double-dipping so it makes sense to me.
Seven Force said they have a D-Pad modded JoyCon, which makes perfect sense to me.
Holding off til Black Friday/Cyber Monday to see if I can get the FighterZ bundle on a sale.
Still undecided if I want to get it on the Switch or PS4 though.

It may not be trivial but if they really want to support the game in the long run it will be inevitable since the vocal demand for it will only rise in the future.
Really excited to play. I have it downloaded last night.
What time do games usually unlock? Hope it unlocks during my lunch break.
Edit: Also, does a usb a to c adapter work with the switch and controllers? I have the pokken controller but I don't have the hori usb port stand.

No thank you, I don't want to play against wifi warriors. I'll be playing Fighterz online on Switch almost exclusively with friends, I'm fine with cross play with Switch in pretty much every genre but fighting games.
My pre-ordered copy on Amazon just shipped! I can't wait to play Fighterz! My Friday's gonna be taken over by the game...
There is a Fighterz pass and it's $35. Base game is $60 and Fighterz edition (base + pass) is $95, i think.
No it isnt lol. Sounds like you what you don't understand is that you have an opinion
This is exactly what I do, so it'd be nice not having to carry around a monitor anymore, plus in many cases during tournaments, open setups aren't always available since they're occupied by actual tourney matches. It'd be great to be able to warm-up on the side even if it is the tiny ass Switch screen.
No, what I mean is, can I buy the base game now and then purchase the FighterZ pass separately at a later date?
I'm not seeing the listing for the pass separately. Only with the bundles.
That's only because the game hasn't released yet. You can definitely purchase the dlc without buying the bundle lol. It would be very weird for them to limit something like that to a bundle.
You can buy the FighterZ Pass separately. It'll likely be put on the eShop tomorrow.
I see. Haven't checked on the switch eshop but on the nintendo website, I can see the separate Fighterz pass. Which means you can buy it separately.
I played PS4 version casually and my button mashing friends detroyed me because I was trying to defend myself. Is it possible to play with a defensive style in this game?
I would really like to give this another try on Switch lol. Game looks superb

Found an ebay page with the final box:

Nothing to worry about.... nothing!
There were a few framerate drops in the beta, so keep that in mind.
Defensive options pretty much don't exist in this game. If you're not on the offensive you're in a bad position, and you're going to have to be really good to successfully defend against a good offense.
Quad dipper. Game is worth it, voting with my paper. Hoping, yeah still bitter, marvel and capcom give it another go-round but that isn't likely to happen soon. So dbfz is my bread and butter, least till smash ultimate.
I remember spotting some really weird, random hitching occasionally. Might've been framepacing issues. Hopefully that's been ironed out.
There would likely be options to turn off crossplay. Just like there is with SFV.
Also I very much doubt most console users out there actually use ethernet, regardless.
My game shipped and I still haven't gotten the Super Butoden code... anyone get theirs from any site yet?
Thanks for the reply. I think im gonna buy it anyway. Its good fun even If I lose more than I win lol
Not like this game is super complex, dont even think the game has DPs. Plus you have multiple control options on switch, think you're over thinking it.
Since people have been asking how's performance in handheld/undocked mode, I grabbed some handheld footage:

Live in the EU, downloading now! Man the dlc is expensive. Think I'll grab some of the extra characters later .
What we really need to know is if the 1v1 and 2v2 can be played online or not.
I love this thumbnail haha.
If you're in NA it'll probably be up in 9.5 hours or so.

I'm weak, didn't want to triple dip for full price but handheld DBFz is too good to pass on

Very basic dumb question: if I do a super and have enough meter will it automatically do a level 3 instead of a level 1?
This. BBTAG is a much better choice if looking for an Arc tag fighter with proper defensive options, though matches also go by much faster in that as a result of the higher damage and being 2v2.
The M autocombo always ends with a Lv. 1 super even if you have enough meter for a Lv. 3.
Does the Switch version has all the DLC available?
Especially Super 17?
I have the regular version + season pass on steam but rarely played it due to time constraints. Thinking of double dip for portability.
