Could you jump cancel at the end, before you do the miracle punch-die die missile barrage, to squeeze in another L M or something?

I am getting so sick of mashers. They'll do the charge and I block and they are pushed back but can instantly start hitting again? Like if I am Vegeta and he uses black, his reach always wins out.
Fucking infuriating.
Fucking infuriating.
I'm starting to wonder if it's worth the effort trying to master really long combos compared to autocombos/simpler ones and just learning when to time supermoves. For example, looking at damage values shows that pulling off a big combo with a level 3 finish only does about 300 more damage than just doing the level 3 on its own. Sure it's more damage but is it worth the effort and possible error rather than just learning when to do a level 3 for guaranteed high damage.
Don't forget about the Ki you're building in the process.
Yeah true but then an autocombo with a super finish could do that too? I'm just wondering if learning and perfecting really long combos have enough benefits to warrant the effort.
I'm starting with simple, almost universal combos right now... I haven't checked, but I think I do a lot more damage than mashing out the autocombos.
Doing a level 3 by itself is really hard to do, and 9 times out of 10 you'll be punished for it.
For example, if I'm playing Ginyu, and you throw a level 3 out at me, I can just do body change, which will make me invincible, and guarantee the swap.
If you want to land a level 3, you can usually just do like a 2 hit combo then into the level 3. It's not as damaging, but it's safer.
It depends on the character I think. For example Majin Buu's autocombos are pretty butt compared to what some of his manual combos can get you.
Trunks is so much god damn fun. That level 3 is so satisfying every time.
Been messing around with 18 a bunch too and she's great. She just looks fantastic when fighting alongside 17, and it's always fun when every now and again you just see someone melt when he comes out.

It's pretty tight and the tech buffer to get the miracle punch into missle barrage isnt too forgiving so I had to take a lot of other hits out to make sure the barrage connected right. I'm going to keep messing with them to optimize them as much as i can though.
Thank you!
I made another combo that only needs 3 bars at the end and builds 1 bar for 6444 Damage with no assists.

I'm going to make Team Dunk work somehow.
Been putting people to sleep with 16. Love him.
Another nice one, keep em coming. I didn't know ex tornado kick was so versatile. Any ideas for how I can combo off of Tien or Fat Buu assist? I usually throw it out to corner pressure after a blockstring but only have basic air-dash j.M into magic series stuff.
Finally, Kotaku has put out an article calling out this game's super annoying lobby and match making system!
https://kotaku.com/dragon-ball-fighterz-lobby-system-is-a-huge-hassle-1822516386
I still can't believe they launched this game without a way to invite a friend to a match!!!!!! How did this happen?? Thankfully, Bandai Namco have already responded...

Sounds like they are going to fix it.
Doesn't surprise me
ArcSys has no experience with a playerbase this big. Even though it is weird for them to step back from GG/Blazblue systems that had friend lobbies and such
I would say Bamco should have noticed and warned them, but they aren't great with online systems either
Their problem was that they waited way too long to hold an open beta and get feedback

My Street Fighter brain tells me that after you block a heavy attack, you should be able to retaliate with a light attack at the very least, but that's clearly not the case here. I still find it very hard to see where openings are.
Is the offline lobby not actually offline?
Is the offline lobby not actually offline?
it tries to auto connect online
but it is supposed to put you in an offline lobby after it fails like 3 times to connect
Sometimes I get the option of choosing to go to the offline lobby from the start. Other times I get put straight into an auto lobby.
i also never really cared about Dragon Ball before this game and i'm enjoying this game so much.
who else should i use on a Team with Krillin and Android 18?
Someone who can lock down the opponent so you can setup with Krillin or Android 18. Try Kid Buu.
I do 18/Krillin/Adult Gohan, but that's just me. Any character that can work well by themselves and have good use of meter is okay for that position, assuming you're putting them behind 18 and Krillin.
The onboard console recording features this generation are one of the best things to happen to the genre, imo. So much tech available at a moment's notice.
If you block a heavy attack, and they follow it up with a super dash, 2H will beat that everytime. Also, block strings take a while to actually finish, specially if they use assists. I also come from Street Fighter and it's taking me a while to get used to block strings here, but I've been improving.
Unless I'm mistaken, a delayed 5M (with certain characters) can beat a super dash, meaning that you can jump cancel and get a full combo. A combo started with 2H has a lot of damage scaling, so having alternatives that lead to a more damaging punish are really good.

How are they gonna setup tournaments with FighterZ if you have to do the story mode to unlock 21 on every system it will be played on?
Goku and Vegeta Blue are also a problem.

It's really predictable, and you eat a full combo on block unless you vanish yourself out of there. Raw 2H seems only good for punishing full-screen super dashes, otherwise I think anti-air assist or something like that is far better as a safe anti-super-dash option if your opponent is only super-dashing from close range like they should. Or just play Kid Buu lol.
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing this. Such a cool combo. I'm going to still continue using this character because like his fighting style too much to give him up.
I seriously need to learn to incorporate reflect into my game more. Remembering to do it mid blockstring is tough though
There's more vids than ever, but they're more disorganized than ever and it's harder to find actual useful information.
Nappa's 2H beats super dashes just fine though?
At least for 21, you get an unlock for buying the season pass. The Blue characters will be annoying though. Could probably farm with a turbo controller or something.
Definitely true too. It's harder to actually consolidate everything, especially with forums like Srk or Dustloop falling by the wayside in favor of Discord/Twitter/YT, etc.
Yea man but if you want a double assist, corner only, 7 bar, sparking combo then twitters gotcha covered.
Things to do today in DBFZ
- Test cancelling out of Piccolo's air chop ending special with half circle into other character supers to see if I can extend his combos via cancels into other people's supers and if so how far can I extend them
- Test out various assists to lock down folks in block so that I can use Piccolo's grabby arm ki button for a guaranteed grab and see which assist jives best with him as a partner for DHC and other stuff
- Look for assists that place attacks above folks for Kid Buu to maximize his low pressure tools and test for general ways to trap people via assist into his stuff. Potentially Ginyu/Nappa summons as well
- Look for longwinded assists to pair with Beerus to force opponents after a knockdown to have to block long enough to get my 6 orbs out...assists besides Kid Buu in case there are options besides team Sonic Fox for this.
- practice jump cancel combos as lmm X lmm X super dash into dealers choice of heavies and vanish extensions is universal.
- work on timing 2H vs random super dashers because its completely air immune and beats every single air attack in the game making it one boss as fuck reversal. Note to self...this makes Yamcha's insanely huge hitbox launcher even better.
- play some Kid Buu + Adult Gohan for DHC synergy to setup safe level ups for A. Gohan.
Luckily it seems that Burning Meter is a good tool for going through Tweets.
Also here's some Nappa silliness.

Yeah this is what made me enjoy him so much in the beta . If I got the dunk knockdown or any good lockdown via any means In a corner I could suffocate them with Saibamen pressure from then on out. His combos are simple but his big game is just pressure once he gets started. What got me a rage quit once was I tried to pressure once like that and they made it out and the next time I put em in the blender I just hit R1 once they started blocking and rushed their shit down free by breaking their guard. Once folks get better at timing counters for a pushblock though Nappa wont be as good at this stuff.
Currently I have Goku Black on point and U Gohan as anchor.
Anybody have advice about which character I should choose to complete my team? Is Vegeta Blue a good choice?
