Current Events > Dragon Ball FighterZ seems.....deceptively simple

(+) Yeah! (+)

Command lists a page long?

Inputs virtually the same for every character's specials?

As someone who is enthusiastic about fighters but get my ass absolutely handed in most of them, is this one of those "easy to play hard to master" type games, or is there a boatload of mechanics hidden away somewhere that will cause someone to feed me my own ass later down the line?

Your first Arc System Works fighter, eh? That's cute.

Surely fighting game complexity should not be measured by inconsistent input mapping

Games really simple and accessible so its not complex like blazblue central fiction, tekken 7 etc. Sadly theres no zoners in this game so its a lot rush down. Just expect auto combos to be used for your combos to extend damage.
Yea everyones movelist are short but each character got their own combo routes once you learn them. This game has some decent depth like sparking blast combos, dhc to do more combos. Only issue with this game is auto combos on whiff is dumb and tracks, superdash being an issue, and your put in a long blockstun a lot so your only options to get out when defending is reflect, vanish, guard cancel or waste ur sparking while blocking.

This game improved a lot compared to how it was at launch aside from the horrible season 2 where its flooded with nothing but gt gokus

It's BECAUSE I played a lot of Blazblue and Persona 4 Arena that I'm suspicious lol

It's a sore topic to bring up to the FGC, usually leading to a "git gud" or four

Either way I like it. It's like Marvel minus the high blood pressure

Yeah nothing quite like having 250 different moves your character can execute.

And then having to learn all these for the entire cast if you want to have a chance beating someone decent.

Considering ASW's history with doing just that in Blazblue I was relieved

This is a good thing though don't get me wrong; I always hated joining most fighting games late because I'd be Astral Finished before my 5th match lol

I miss Blazblue sometimes


There are only 2 sane girls in this entire line up and I bet no one would be able to pick them out on the first guess

Celica and Makoto

Supposedly the latest patch made it seem less horribly samey. It's been nothing but the same few easy optimal combo strings and engagements.

Celica is not sane in the slightest but you're right on Makoto, at least when her friends aren't in danger.

Aside from her background she's one of the most stable characters in the series lol

I can't possibly see anyone else on that list who is sane. Hopefully you're not meaning Tsubaki lol

Mai and Noel are kinda sane

---

Noel literally has a super-powered evil (at first) side, she goes into a sort of trance when she summons dual wield guns that only she can use, and has raging insecurity about her chest. She's hardly sane lol

---

She comes to terms with her mu self, she lost the trance by chronophantasma and chest or lack of thereof aside she's pretty sane, through I guess you won't be able to bed her unless you're Ragna,tho.
