What does that even mean? I'll play competitively against other Switch owners. Ain't nothing casual about me in ranked lol.
Of course, and if you are competing and drop a tight combo because of framedrops and probably lose because of it, you'll get mad. I know because I do everytime there's some lag playing online xD
Worse part is that framedrops that happen in the engine are adding now to that online lag.
Okay, what the fuck is up with switch digital releases? Its 9/28 almost 4am PST and the fucking game is still locked?
Picking it up today, I suck at fighters but this one looked really intriguing so I'm giving it a shot.
The digital version is also still not purchasable in the EU eShop. I imagine it will unlock when the shop usually updates, at around 17pm GMT (5 hours from now).
How do you get to play the snes game? I redemed the Dlc Pre order code and i cannot see the game on my switch?
Got the notification that the game is waiting for me in my mailbox. Can't wait for go back home.

I really enjoyed the beta but I know I won't play it enough to justify buying it. :( if it was half the price I would possibly jump on it and take a chance, but not at 60 bucks
Surprised there aren't any reviews yet. One would think that they would be available at least a couple of days before release.
I love Dragon Ball, and have always wanted to get into Fighting Games, but have never been able to. Is this a good place to start, or is it not particularly newbie friendly?
It's very easy to get in to and probably one of the easier ones to start, but like other fighters or maybe even more so than a lot of other fighters, you'll rarely get to do much of anything if you run in to anyone decent while you're still new. If you stick with ranked and if the match making does its job, you'll be fine.
Yeah for sure. Autocombos (essentially button mashing) are very basic tools that do little damage comparatively, but give you the basic fundamentals of a combo, so they're something any kind of player can pull off. FighterZ also has a pretty nice tutorial and a combo trials mode that teach you the basic bread and butter of each character. Online will probably be filled with a lot of new players this close to launch, or you can play the pretty extensive single player modes if that gets too much for you.
There's definitely something for everyone here, hardcore fgc fans and entry level players alike.

So I just got wrecked in my first match online. What's up with the tag button, I was hitting L1 while getting wrecked but my partner never tagged in. It was annoying.
Also this lobby system is confusing, what on earth is a ring battle or arena battle? The only thing I understand is ranked.

Review code in the US only arrived yesterday for most outlets.
You should only be able to tag out of neutral, so you can't do it while being combo'd. Also make sure to hold the button to switch out.
Ring battle is like setting up a room while arena just matches you with whoever iirc
You have to hold the trigger to tag. Tapping it just triggers and assist move/attack. And I don't think it works when you're being hit.
Think of ring battle as setting up your own lobby. You can create a room and specify parameters like how many players, desired skill level (which some folks outright ignore), and even a pass code so only folks you want in can join. Someone can correct me on this, but I think Arena is like the experience of hanging out in the arcade waiting for your chance to play. It just matches you up with the next available player who's also in the Arena.
I want this game, but I know I will never play it once Smash releases. I will eventually buy it though
Where might the the cheapest place to buy this? Amazon... Best Buy?
Yeah one of the reason I wanted them to release it in July or August. Give switch owners more time to enjoy it. Who knows though I may enjoy this more than smash. Will have to see what happens when I actually get smash and start playing on Switch. If anything like smash 3ds then I'm going to have a hard time putting it down.
could've he said that during the demo and not the retail version
Amazon preorders had a $10 credit for a future purchase, that was the best deal unless you still had GCU. It's MSRP otherwise everywhere else.
Yeah this is me, plus I got it on PS4 already and need to play it more there haha.
Yeah... Also I just played some matches on a friend's Switch, and the framedrops were very noticeable, happened on some busy moments like calling assist and doing an special move at the same time.

OK thanks man. I'll figure it out I'm sure. It seems more packed with content then bbtag which is a good thing (though I love bbtag). Ranked is gonna be rough until the double dippers rank up.
Between this and the Kavanaugh nonsense, this is the longest 8-hour work day of my life.
Can anyone confirm if Butoden's score was replaced. I'm assuming it is ala Butoden 2, but ya never know...

Since the game is officially out i'll post this video again. This a great tutorial video on how to extend your combos.
Welp, looks like this Bamco rep was either misinformed or lied
...because Super Butoden absolutely had it's soundtrack changed. Shame, that was the only decent thing about the game, too.

Oh man please tell me it isn't true... :( I was afraid they would change the soundtrack.
I'm gonna cancel my pre-order if so.
EDIT: Pre-order canceled. The only reason I wanted this was because of Super Butouden's music.
That Bamco rep wasn't honest. Not cool, man.
And thanks for the warning, Seven Force.

A little weird that this game is supposedly out (heard about it being locked on the digital store) but there isn't a single review of this out there. This is one of the biggest third party Switch games this Fall and the fact there isn't a single review is strange.
Shit, I forgot to! Is that the only way? Thought you just needed to buy game?
I have zero interest in Super Butoden, so if you don't get a code, you're welcome to it.
I vaguely remember that the supposed preorder bonuses for the game on XB1 and PS4 actually came in the "Day One Edition" physical copies of the game. I'm curious if it'll be the same for Butoden.
Aww. Dang it lol.
Had it preordered but decided to get it later since I wanted to get VC4, which I ended up not even getting as well.
