    Maybe Prototype-people aren't good for fight-games. They eat people to fill meter.

    QCB+P: Devour. I just picture Mercer or the other guy reaching back out of the screen and literally devouring a random human that flakes away from his tentacle-appendage and he gains a bit of meter. Spam that shit.

    Hidden achievement: Devour 1000 people as Prototype.

    So I've never played a fighting game with any seriousness except Smash. Am going to be playing Dragonball Fighterz, though.

    Is there, like, a youtube series that covers basic techniques for these kinds of fighting games?

    Here is a thread in Gamefaqs: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/211141-dragon-ball-fighterz/75575639

    Something on frame data is also useful, since you're going to hear about frames (whether something is "plus" or "minus") all the time in fighting games.

    first hit on youtube:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gtklnzge00

    Note that video is mostly about Street Fighter, which is heavily reliant on links, and a game like Dragonball is going to favor cancels instead, but the basic fundamental idea is the same.

    You could look at videos of Marvel 3 for tag team games and videos of guilty gear for ASW fighters.

    I haven't seen a ton of tutorials about dbfz, but I bet they're out there

    SNK leaving pachislots entirely was a big move and I'm happy to see them doing well after it. I haven't looked up the investor statement yet, but what was the earnings leader for them?

    Hey @MNC Dover remember when Street Fighter IV was the hotness and there were enough active players here that you attempted to run a league?

    And I was the commissioner?

    Cool, it's the badass adult Gohan and not the pathetic Dragonball Super adult Gohan.

    Those were the days. I can't even think about fighting games anymore, which is sad since they were such a big part of my gaming life. Oh well, all things must end.

    Well, the fighting is real, but it's not a layer any more. It used to be, however. It's more of an ex-layer now.

    Gotenks just reminds me that they should have ended the series with the Cell Saga. But hey, money talks.

    The DLC characters all look significantly better then the base characters. I do not think that this is an accident.

    Even if the Buu saga has a lot if missteps (not committing to Gohan as MC, the kids, Buu’s backstory and power levels) I’m a sucker for that final Kid Buu vs Gokuu fight. Also the Uub chapter. Both the manga and the anime hit me in the feels.

    People say that the effects of the fusion-dance are temporary, but it turned small Trunks and Goten into one character forever.

    Tbh Trunks was more useful fused.
