I would be shocked if you can't. They wouldn't ask people to spend $35 or not get any DLC characters at all, that's a recipe for the DLC to sell very very badly.



You're not wrong. But it's also pretty much the single most iconic thing 17 has ever done, so skipping it would be weird.
I'm the opposite, Namco didn't let you buy characters seperate in any other fighting game I believe at least not Ninja Storm 4.

Anyone else have trouble getting their controller to work on PC? I'm trying to use a wired PS3 controller. I've tried setting up x360ce in both the directory and in the win64 folder, didn't work. Tried it after setting up the controller in Steam's big picture mode, doesn't work. I was able to use it this way with Dark Souls III and other games, but only my keyboard is being recognized for this.

I guess maybe it's time to get a new controller.

It's a $35 season pass. Expecting every player to pay $95 or be saddled with a small roster is...risky, to say the least. I can't imagine they'd be that stupid, especially for a game as important as this. They need it to do well, and pissing off the entire community by asking THAT MUCH for it isn't exactly a recipe for long-term success.

Final Form is more unique appearance wise but Meta is more unique move wise

If they can do some interesting things with 17's barriers, I think he'll be worth it. At bare minimum, he needs the barrier punch from the ToP. I'm not sure they could even get away with including him as DLC without that move.



Adult Goku used the Power Pole once, during the Dead Zone movie. That's about it.

Oh ye, man those fight scenes were rad

You know damn well that not only is it not DB Goku, but that there will be no Power Pole lol



But like, how you gonna say that nothing from the ToP was gonna get in, but that the Barrier Punch that we saw a few weeks ago absolutely has to be a part of his moveset :P



Who cares about strength, I'm just tired of seeing them lol

I honestly forgot what Cooler can do. All I know is that I remember playing as Meta Cooler a lot. They'll probably use the OG one though...
OG Cooler doesn't have that many moves.

Death beam, Eye beam and his Super Nova.

That's it.

I'm like 30 and 4 between the beta and the full release.

I still don't feel like I'm any good at the game though as ridiculous as that might sound.

They sometimes give him Salza's energy blade as a special move in fighting games as well. But yeah, all of his moves are ripped off from other characters.

Yea he is just kind of a Frieza clone, a...well...cool one, but he is similar to Frieza.

I'll be in my study mourning:

I realllly wanna make Ginyu work. He is so fun.

Anyone know the deal with Recoome? Sometimes he does a kick, sometimes he does the eraser gun, and sometimes ge does that bomber move that literally takes like 10 seconds. I can't seem to tell what triggers which.

You hold X for the Recoome charging explosion move.

Other than that I have no idea how you summon specific Ginyu Force attacks lol, I'll be working on him a lot tomorrow.

Each member has two moves, you dictate which ones you use by either pressing special, or QCF special.

Recoome has three, you can get the explosion by doing QCF special and holding it.

Considering how relatively expensive buying individual characters for fighting games can be on other franchises that have that kind of business practice, I bet if they end up selling them individually (which I don't think they're gonna do) it will end up being a lesser deal than just getting them all, unless you're after that one character. 35 bucks for eight new characters plus a music pack dlc is not a bad deal at all for future content down the line.

Also, rather have this 'small' roster that has unique play styles mostly all around, than having 150 filled with a lot of boring copies and reskins.

I think you're right, it will probably cost more to buy all eight characters a la carte than it would be to get them all at once in the season pass. That's a pretty common practice with DLC nonsense to begin with, and I fully expect them to do that here as well. I don't like it, but it's a good (and time-proven) way to subtly manipulate people into spending all at once when they might otherwise hold off.

But speaking personally, I refuse to pay that much money for just a couple of characters and some vocal music I don't want to listen to. If they're gonna ask for more than half the price of the retail game, I expect new modes. New single player content. A new story mode arc. Something. They can't just staple a couple of characters to the roster and say that's worth $35, in my opinion. Not when the base game cost $60.

Well I'm enjoying the story so far. At least half done with the first arc and using it at a testing grounds for the characters to see who I like. Did a few ranked matches and got bodied. Also went through all the training so I knew wtf I was doing. On thing would be I wish each character had more special attacks. But it's fun and flashy and I'm getting better and learning what combos nicely.

yeah, they all use this weird lobby shit

thankfully they cranked up the number of lobbies quite a bit this evening, but they got a lot of work to do
That's so supremely disappointing. Why would they arbitrarily limit the pool of players you'd be able to fight against...ugh. What's wrong with standard ass matchmaking!?

I mean, I can agree with that, but when you put it into the context of the current market (for instance, Injustice 2's fighter packs are 20 dollars for 3 fucking characters and a bunch of skins), it's really not ludicrous of a price. Hell, it's on the cheaper side of things as it stands.

So there actually is standard matchmaking, if you go to a lobby(any lobby, any region), go to the world tournament section and queue up for either a Casual Match or Ranked match. It'll match you with players around the world, not just the people in the lobby.

Thank you! That's a huge relief. There's connection filters there I'm assuming?

Yes! You can choose to accept any connect, <red connections, <Yellow Connections, <Green Connections, or <Blue connections(Perfect connections.)

There's also choosing between skill levels and what not..honestly I blasted the lobby system earlier today, but when I found out I could just join ANY lobby and do normal matchmaking, it was alot better. I still wish there was just a menu button you could press though to be queued up without the lobby.

At least I didn't get an L for that.

You would think ragequitting would be less prevalent as you climb higher in ranks, but it seems to be getting more common. I just had 5 in a row, all players with yellow colors and at least Frieza rank. So, you know, be ready for that plug if you're bodying someone and they don't like it. >_> I did make a dude named Yamcha, who didn't actually play Yamcha, quit out while being wolf fang fisted to death which was pretty cute I'm not going to lie.
