    I would play the shit out of a Dragon Ball/DBZ RPG that had some level of interaction with the moves, like mashing buttons to power up a Kamehameha or timing an instant transmission.

    Wasn't the GBA Tenkaichi games like this?

    No clue, xenoverse is the first dbz game I've played in years. I'd have to check it out.

    Anyway there is actually already a good DBZ RPG, it's on DS, it's called Attack of the Saiyans

    It's a real fucking shame that it apparently never got any sequels, as it only goes through the end of the Saiyan Saga and even hints at the Frieza Saga in the end of the game

    one of my favorite parts about that game is that your tutorialparty, the weakass characters who train you to play the game

    are tien, yamcha, and krillin

    I really like how Gohan has garbage-ass starting stats

    But he has the highest stat growth of any character, so eventually he's the strongest character in the game

    I think this game is trying to tell me I've played too much because Goku refuses to drop instant transmission from this PQ


    but when I did it co-op with Bluedude yesterday he got it first try

    seconds that could be spent smooching your ki blasting face

    ok well that was supposed to say smooshing, autocorrect really went in a different direction

    Instant Transmission is pretty baller against Ki Ultimate spammers

    Every character I have has a preset with it just in case

    yeah it's not something I want to have on every build but I definitely want to have it around for those moments when it would be crazy useful

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    You can buy Instant Transmission from the skill shop after progressing through the game if I'm not entirely mistaken

  • IblisIblis Registered User regular
    I think you can just buy instant-transmission at the skill shop. At least eventually.

    Maybe worth pointing out that you can also buy skills like Super Saiyan 2 there

  • T4CTT4CT BAFTA-NOMINATED NAFTA-APPROVEDRegistered User regular
    Yeah I've definitely seen SS2 and stuff like that there but I've never seen Instant Transmission

    maybe it's because I haven't actually beat the final story mission yet

  • T4CTT4CT BAFTA-NOMINATED NAFTA-APPROVEDRegistered User regular
    Also I wish I could communicate the sheer glee I feel when I get my ass kicked in this game

    it's a hard thing to describe but @Speed Racer has gotten to hear it too many times now

    Fuck this PQ that you get from Kid Trunks

    I'm literally at the point where I one-shot every group up to the end, and then Goku and Gohan just spam their ultimate kamehameha so much that it kills me DURING my ult

    Yeah, fucking welcome to hell. It took Final Flash for me to get through it. Start it just before one of them ends their bullshit.

    Make sure you bring Maximum Charge so you can go into every fight with full ki already.

    And just get lucky about when they choose to kamehameha you.

    I have three suggestions for that PQ
    1) If you go online you can do that one with other players, just search quest #47 and there's probably a few people trying to tackle it.
    2) Train harder.
    3) The DLC has added a very interesting Z-Soul,
    If you finish training under Tien and then spar with him after, you get a Z-Soul that straight up nullifies every single attack with "Kamehameha" in the name. It's amazing.

    It's called "Haaaaaaaaaaaah!!" and yes, I counted those A's. Official description:
    [Master] Tien's Z-Soul. All moves named 'Kamehameha' passes through, and become null.

    I assure you it does exactly that, and the AI has no idea what's happening or how to deal. I almost started to feel bad for poor Gohan. "I'm shooting someone with the Kamehameha, why isn't he taking damage from it? It's the Kamehameha, it has one goddamn job!

    I haven't completed the story, and it's in the shop. Costs 18000.

    you can't secretly buy Kaioken 20x too, can you

  • T4CTT4CT BAFTA-NOMINATED NAFTA-APPROVEDRegistered User regular
    I know we talked about it before when we talked about Tien being a master but man the I just hit the part in the show where he beats Cell down using the triangle blast so 18 can escape and it's sweet

  • DocshiftyDocshifty Registered User regular
    The best part is how he's like "I am so gonna die SO YOU BETTER MAKE THIS FUCKING WORTH IT!"

    Unfortunately not but it is ABSOLUTELY worth grinding for

    Kaioken x20 might be the best technique in the game for rando online PVP

    Alright so I beat the game and immediately made a namekian (and tried to make him look like a Kai, with moderate success)

    I haaaaaaaaaate how their basic attacks feel!!!! Maybe it's the stretchy limbs thing but they just feel incredibly slow and cumbersome

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    Okay that might actually be worth paying money for the DLC just to get that Z-Soul

    Also, the best "custom character" I've seen so far is a white majin made to look like Android 19

    Dragonballs drop from time patrollers which sometimes appear during PQs - if you beat one and get the message "received key item", it is a Dragonball

    A good place to farm them is the PQ named "Let's Train", if there's no time patroller in the first area or they don't drop a Dragonball, just restart

    The Namekian Y/Heavy attacks are pretty fast, and feel more like a "normal" combo than their light strings

    Kaioken x20 Namekian is dabest because you can out-flashstep your opponent's stamina, then they cannot run from your light combos

    This game is really good though!

    I don't have much time to play games these days, and what time I do have is usually eaten away by FFXIV and it's awful grind.

    I have barely touched FFXIV since grabbing this.
