Not a fighting game guy, but I think I might actually give this a spin.
Pretty sure I missed the actual beta, but I got do drop into some practice rounds. Funny thing was, it seemed to pick "random" teams, but it was the same "random" teams in the same order vs. another "random team" every time from boot (my first match was ALWAYS me having 18, Beerus, and Cell vs Piccolo, Nappa, and 16. Second Match was ALWAYS Kid Buu, Krillin, and Nappa vs Piccolo, Beerus, and Cell. Third match I always started with Kid Buu, but I don't remember anymore). Also, in spite of being in the lineup, any side that had Beerus was actually down a man, since he never swapped in if he was on my team or even showed up if he was an opponent, giving me a two round victory instead of three. Thought that was kinda weird, but chalked it up to him being some sort of closed beta exclusive for preorder folks or somesuch. I dunno. Still seemed cool. 18 seems interesting being the package deal with 17. I wonder if any other characters have a similar dynamic... or if 17 is a "skin" for 18 like those twins in Street Fighter 3(? i think) |

18 and Vegeta are def on my main team. Last day for XBL beta and I finally a good string of matches. Doing manual combos is gonna be the way to go but there's a lot the tutorial wasn't open about.

We only heard generic stage themes in the beta, but I'm checking out the character specific themes on youtube, and god damn there's some good shit here. They're long too. Takes a while for them to loop.

lol Hit has smooth jazz for some reason. Still good though.
very few duds here. Most are between good and great. Goku and Vegeta ironically are two of the least interesting. Just kinda generic metal tracks. |

Light attack auto combos have animations that are unique to them. So while manual combos are still the way to go, I'm still gonna have to use an auto combo from time to time. For the sake of style.

I think the auto combos should have a damage reduction otherwise there isnt much reason to not use them

Manuals are good to a point, but are the most basic amount of damage. Even the Medium Attack path that leads to super is actually the lowest damaging path to super. You can certainly just block correctly and auto your way past the vast majority of players (especially with the influx of casuals and Xenoverse/Tenkaichi players who the autos are designed for). But at some point you gotta start experimenting with mixing up the auto combo paths. And from thete throw in more manual inputs. I can tell you in the beta I was already shutting people down who only had auto combos to offer, by only marginally varying my paths. Now imagine legions getting time in training mode. There's already clips of training mode stuff that make this look like a different game. There are reasons not to do rest on autos forever. |

For instance, even after the launcher of the light auto path do a manual light > medium > heavy instead of finishing with mashing light. Not only do you get more damage, the spike (an attack that smashes the opponent back down) is now a hard knockdown for whatever super or wake up shenanigans you wanna do.

I havent had my hand on the game (well i literally have it in my hand right now) but if you can start in a light and chain up then yeah that totally makes sense. I thought you were locked in. Hopefully ill get to play tonight amd get some first hand thoughts

Also if you hold back while jabbing and button (like light just to fish for a punish) you won't initiate the auto sequence.
Also the KI attack button is treated as a NORMAL attack, with all the accompanying mechanics. |

Story is alright so far. Highlight is all the different character interactions. Found some decent manuals while playing through. Also getting the hang of extending combos with the tagging. Only thing I'm still a bit clueless on is when to use assists, but that will come in time. Just working on combos for now.

Gonna be a lot of this, I guess.
That's the second guy who raged on me within that hour. I wouldn't care that people quit except I'm not sure if that affects my completion record. Anyway right now Goku Black is a lock and both Vegeta's work for me. |

I really doubt that was a rage quit. People are reporting drops all over the place.

Re: Rep message:
It doesn't have to be, it just has to beat him. I did the first time and he bailed in the second match. I'd be happy to try and impress you in a match, tho. |

I do not understand how you screw up something so simple as a private match.

15 fucking dollars for the anime music pass. Christ.
Adding that the music in the game already is maybe the best fighting game soundtrack since street fighter 2, that shit is a hard pass for me. Too bad. Would have liked solid state scouter for bardock fights. |

I dunno, it's not the characters I'd choose if I made a list of DLC. Vegito and Cooler are the only 'DLC' type standouts.
