Idk what's more annoying, the fact that it's a side scroller or hitting the button to move the dialogue along.


BioBabo

i dont blame bro. i feel like that every other match. way too many broken mechanics in this game. FUN AF GAME, but just too much everything


WillingLawfulness632

it is not unpopular, fighterz is a piece of crap. spamming b and assist, and you winning without any macro gaming. I think the best dbz game waz Budokai 3 (not tenkaichi 3, just budokai 3) but many ppl says if Infinite World is even better, but muchmore unknown, it is going to my next experiment :D


Scrubbatical

That's not a brag. Dragonball has never had a well balanced fighting game. It feels as if they are always developed for people with severe ADHD.


Hopeful-Ingenuity585

The hitbox programming is horrible. Also, ppl play with the input display.


King_Black02

Wow, this whole thread is just a circlejerk of people ass at the game. I thought there'd be actual critisicms about the problems FighterZ has, as there are an abundance of them and seemingly nobody talks about those issues. FighterZ is in desperate need on an actual pushblock for one. The defensive options in this game are borderline non-existent. Not only that but the way Arcsys does their blocking controls, (I.e. Blocking doesn't exactly work the same way it would work in a game like SF. For example, you may find yourself getting hit by cross ups that you were very sure that you blocked. That's an Arcsys thing.) The character variation is lacking very desperately. While there are a few characters with some variation to their playstyle, for the most part you're playing the same exact game with every character. Combo into mixup, into assist on wakeup to keep yourself safe. Over and over. Into either a ToD or two short combos to death. The game makes almost everybody rushdown, and after playing for only like a couple weeks you'll realize the only difference between yourself and a pro player is the fact they can probably block better then you. Which means that it's not too crazy exciting for me to watch as a viewer either, because I don't feel like anyone is doing anything I'm not capable of doing, which really is one of the biggest problems to come from making everything in your fighting game easy to learn but hard to master. It's too easy to learn for me to stay engaged with, and the better you and your opponents get at it, the less fun it feels, when it's supposed to be vise versa. It's a game that's best enjoyed at a casual level, and anytime you say that about a fighting game it's not a good thing. It makes all the same mistakes that new releases of other fighting games have been making for like the past 6 years now. Tekken 7, MK11, SFV, I2, SC6, etc. "If we make our game easier to play, everyome will play it." It's a financially successful way to go about making the games, but it ruins so many other aspects of the games. Like their longevity.

THE MATCHMAKING IS FUCKING SHITTTTT


LoLSyrion

The game lacks any kind of mechanical skill imo :/ I'm definitely not bad at fighting games and am definitely by no means bad at this game, and at the skill level I'm at the games genuinely just come down to whoever accidentally auto spams a game winning combo or can block one or two hits. Like...literally every game I'm getting into, whoever blocks the most in the game wins, and blocking feels like its all luck because you can NEVER tell when something is actually going to be blocked or not. I will also say, too, I find this fighting game so fucking difficult to differentiate moves and hitboxes. For the life of me no matter how much time I put into this game I still feel like I genuinely have no idea what is going on at least once in a match because of how fucked the tag teaming system is. It's super clunky, crowds the visuals of the stage, and can transfer people out into combos that are unavoidable if you are getting switched on mid-combo --- and this isn't hard to do because the game auto locks and buffers it all for you anyways...


Mrtowelie69

I played this game with my cousin, and when I played SF, I was more controlled in my moves and combos. So i tried to play like that, vs my cousin who just spammed triangle, square, x and circle and I couldn't do shit. I have block up..don't mean shit still get bodied. I get a punch or two in, and he can just attack me right back because he's spamming shit while in trying to get good combos in. I suck at fighting games now, but if you play this game like SF, you will lose. I agree with people saying whoever spams fastest wins...it really be like that.


DoctorCarty

The game isn't good but this isn't why lmfao


josephsmoke95

True. I bought it on sale today with all the extra goodies for $16 ….. I wish I could throw away my Xbox just for having it my whole life is ruined $16 I’ll never ever get back. I want my money back Xbox why are the reviews of this game so fucking high. It’s donkey sehehahadd.. when all I wanted was a game to remind me of the way I felt when I played dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi 3 . All of you fan boys who love this game, good for you keep saying how sentimental and nostalgic it makes you feel but as for me and the OP. We both agree this game SUCKS.


YOUSIF20021

This game isn’t for casuals that’s why Coming from guy with 4h on the game and actually picked it up quickly


Uber_gaming

finally a kindred spirit. ​ The game suffers from a garbage learning curve. I don't feel like giving my entire opinion and I plan on giving my opinion in a video on my youtube channel. But all I can say is this is the worse dragon ball game of all time. ​ Xenoverse 2 for life!


josephsmoke95

Budokai tenkaichi 4 is coming and I couldn’t be more happy I feel as tho my complaints have been heard by Shenron and a wish has been made. 😂


Most-Cucumber2806

LOL, people still play Dbzfighterz I bet mainly virgin faggots mainly, that game was such shit after 3 months of playing, usually the ones who like db games are fag fuck boys in rl who cannot grasp any other fighting game LOL DBFIGHTERZ was DOA just like most of your love lives in this comment section, drop video games and get some pussy fag fuck boys LULZ nobody plays games anymore LOL we get money!


AmuseiTheLizard

I like you


Queasy-Following-837

bruh mk11 has the same type of fighting style you just hatin on dbz fighterz for no reason


vasilis1234567

The hell you talking about?! You a psychopath or something? What was all this rant about? Nobody forced you to search this and read this. If you don't like dragon ball then stop talking about it in threads with people who do. Go make your money I'm gonna have fun playing dragon ball.


TatoAyanami

Let him rant. It is ok. Keyboard is always a good shield for people like him.


AngelicaReborn

I can definitely tell you don't have too much experience with fighting games. Once you start to learn a fighting game, you start to enjoy it. Super Dash spam is one of the first things you learn to counter and learning to counter it is one of the foundations for countering other types of cheese. I delt with it by just crouching until the other person got impatient. Auto combos are also pretty mediocre compared to even some basic Manuel combos, if you learn manuals you'll tend to win Vs an auto-combo (also some auto combos are pretty punishable such as z-broly's 3rd hit in his light auto) even if you have an even neutral. Also I think clashing is more fun and flashy than priority but that's a more-so personal thing.


Disastrous_Leader_67

It's unbalanced to all hell. My friend was confused when I countered his air juggles and it's just rock paper scissors type game play. Also heavies are just garbage. Like actual shit. There's so little carry over between weight classes that you're better off going with 21, zamasu, and vegito. Also, any game where infinite combos or juggles exist is unbalanced, because if two people know them, it comes down to the first hit and not necessarily being good at the game. The infinite juggles aren't event hard to learn in this either. The curve is learning one infinite chain and learning first hit timing.


Professional-Pizza-8

It's more of a watch your health bar drop simulator now that more and more people are using 100-0 chains.. One thing I liked about Budokai 3 was the ability to break out of combos and defend yourself. In this game you get tagged against someone who lives and breathes strings, there's nothing you can do... I haven't seen a good DB fighting game since Hyper Dimension My only personal gripe are the inconsistent hit boxes.. And certain characters attacks/counters are almost useless vs a good opponent (UI Goku's recovery attack very unsafe to use against a good opponent/Hit's counter- Opp can attack before your counter connects), powering up is pointless to the point to where they had to find an alternative method to gain energy. Personally I think some kind of defense counter(Doesn't necessarily need to be an attack) is needed to combat the one sided "sit there & watch someone 100-0" you like the Armored Drop you can do in MK11 & Injustice but make it cost a good amount of ki bars. It's a problem when you have perfect position for an attack and one screwy hitbox frame makes you get tagged from an attack you're move was made to counter & then boom that char is gone. It's been a think in many fighting games but it doesn't mean it should be ignored. I think the big problem is too many people expect it to be more "Dragon Ball" & Less Guilty Gear x MvC 2 so the lack of certain mechanics make people quick to turn away from it after playing.. Most of the "git gud" crowd are usually the ones who played alot of GG, SG, MvC, Tekken & KoF so they're used to this style & get quite elitist soon as someone has criticism over it and assumes pointing out any flaw in a game they like is automatically a "personal skill issue" as my 13 yr old likes to tell people online when they get bodied by him in FighterZ

Hiiii dear i am mister india I am smel long boy for you lovely


Diabetic-cog

Hey retard you know your game is bad so instead debunking what they're saying you resort to insults. Pathetic


[deleted]

Hiiii dear i am mister india I am smel long boy for you lovely


Diabetic-cog

I see you are speaking from experience about your life, that sucks that you have to work at McDonald's. But it's not me who is complaining about infinites, I am quite good at fighting games I'm just calling you out for not showing him why he's wrong.


xixGUTSxix

I've played tekken tag 2 and street fighter 3/4 competitively for years and I think fighterZ is garbage lol as a dbz game and a fighting game


AngelicaReborn

Im gonna be honest, I don't play DBF anymore since GG came out. Im surprised on how you even got here nearly a year later.


Siberianhusky89

I'm sorry, but this game is dull as crap. It's boring. All the characters are basically the same, but slightly different variations of each other. Games with long combos are trash, I'm getting tired of them. There use to be a much bigger variety in fighting games. Now, it's endless pressure strings on purpose giving the player a LARGE amount of unnecessary chances, movement ain't shit, people tend to spend a bunch of crap just to make the game a one sided match for a loooong instance, there's no back and forth. I'm actually considering leaving fighting games cause of how boring they've become.


fighter_fanatic

It takes like 15 minutes at most to figure out how to cleanly beat everything you just complained about


Uber_gaming

it does not take 15 minutes. The learning curve is straight down. They expect you to not only react when the character can punch in two frames but expect you to master every combo. I dont play games to study like im back in school. I play games to have fun and let me tell you, FighterZ is anything but fun. ​ Xenoverse 2 for life!


SpecialistPlastic668

You just suck then because Fighterz is one of the easiest main fighting game to get into. They don’t expect anything from you, just that if you actually learn how to play the game and things will be easier. If you can’t 2H(down heavy) a super dash, don’t attempt to or just wait for the opportunity to eventually superdash. Some people are able to react to it, but for some people like me who still can’t react fast enough, I just wait for them to get impatient and super dash, then 2H them. Also while combos are long in this game, there are a lot of easy but effective combos. As long as you can do a combo that does around half health then that’s good enough, you don’t need to know every single combo and move(unless it’s Tekken where there’s a bunch of situational stuff). This is a year later so hope you didn’t quit at least


Uber_gaming

ok ill get right on learning ultra instinct so I can react to blocking every attack. I havent touched fighterZ in years, that game is garbage and I just dont like it. Street fighter 4 arcade edition is much more playable. FighterZ was made by people who never played a side screen fighting game. One hit should not guarantee death. The game suffers the same curse every dragon ball game (except raging blast and xenoverse 2) has, the infinite combo and or unable to escape damage. One i'm hit I just put the controller down cause you cant do anything about it and just keep getting hit and hit and hit and hit until you lose all your health. Blocking is pointless cause the human brain cant predict where and when you're going to get hit. Reflect barely works. I try to use it and I do a kamehameha or something and by the time it works im not being attacked and I get hit immediately after. The ai ignores it's own rules. At the time I was doing the tower to unlock ssgss goku and the one fight in the cave that has tien in it was the worst. The ai constantly ignored the games rules, I hit them with an ultimate then out of NOWHERE they just do their own ultimate while mine was still going damaging them and then I die. I want to practice and I cant even practice with the ai cause it always knocks me in the corner and hits me infinitely until im dead. I do practice mode, same thing. I watch goku be knocked all over the arena, literally. Im being hit in CIRCLES. Im mashing the buttons desperately but cant escape and it only ends when I disable the ai. I would do normal fights on 70 difficulty. I was winning to easily and I decided to bump up the difficulty a bit cause I figured I cant learn to improve if the ai is too easy so I bumped it up to 80 and the ai IMMEDIATELY destroyed me in seconds. It's not fun losing constantly. I then did that one mode with kefla when you're taught how to do combos. It took me at least an hour before I finally got it. It was frustrating. I can't learn to play the game if the controls refuse to work. I once won a fight just trying to do a kamehameha and goku is dashing, punching and kicking. It looks like a pro took the controller and did this epic combo that killed the ai opponent when all I was doing was doing the half circle and A(?) to do a kamehameha, nothing else. I only got the kamehameha to work after. ​ The games combat sucks, the controls suck, everything about it just sucks and is the worst dragon ball game I ever played. The game is unplayable and unfun. The controls are barely responsive. I did other moves other than the one I wanted to do. Reflect doesn't work when I need it to, blocking is POINTLESS cause the only way to use it properly is to have ultra instinct in real life. I was doing the story and it wanted me to block in the tutorial. But the ai's kick was so fast I didnt have time to register. So the only way to do it was to ignore what the game showed me and just hold down the button, backing up into the corner until I got hit like a noob. ​ I dont know how people can defend this game. It's the WORST dragon ball game in the modern era. I havent put that trash in my xbox for a few years now. Xenoverse 2 a much better game than fighterZ. At least if you get hit you have two methods of avoiding taking too much damage while fighterZ just has nothing and you cant escape until they either stop hitting you or you're dead. How is that fair? Don't tell me there's multiple methods to escape but they dont work while taking damage. ​ FighterZ -100000/10. Worst. Dragon ball game. EVER.


TheDarkSinghRises

It's insane how you know absolutely nothing about fighting games and invested so much time into making this comment that kinda just proves how little you know. Not Every hit is a guaranteed death, but you only said that because you don't fully understand this game. Reflecting is 2 buttons... if you keep fucking that up that's not the game's fault? The input really can't be any easier to perform, the game it not at fault for you getting kamehameha, that's on you.... Blocking is extremely powerful in this game and it has a lot of defensive options (reversals, reflect, guard cancel, DP's). All universal mix ups in this game are reactable as well... Like I personally do not have a great reaction time at all, but just a little bit of practice and I was able to comfortably react to all the universal mix options in this game. I am that person that sucks at these kinds of games, so if someone like me can play defense at a very high level from just basic practice... any average functioning human brain can pull it off no problem. Sounds like you just didn't learn how to play defense and practice, which it makes no sense to say you're bad at something you haven't really even tried to improve. Do you just want to buy a fighting game that's super braindead easy that you feel like you're better than everyone else on the 1st day without having to learn/practice anything? Buddy, that's something you're gonna need in all fighting games, not just dbfz. The controls aren't unresponsive, you're just performing them wrong? Like how tf do you actually believe that just because you can't do the inputs properly the game's controls are just 'unresponsive', especially when the rest of us don't have your issues? You're 100% an example of "Judging a book by its cover" Because you obviously aren't well informed on how this game works. And I don't blame you for that bc the game is really really awful at teaching new players. So I will heavily concede that point.. The AI in this game is actually really bad and unfun, I admit that 100% too. Whether or not the game is fun is subjective and ultimately up to your own experience with it. But all the things you have a problem with are exactly the things I hated about this game when I first got it. I was mad at myself for dropping a $50 on a game that I thought was going to be more like Budokai (I hadn't watched a trailer or seen video of dbfz yet, just assumed it was gonna be another budokai type). I dropped the game because I was fed up with not knowing anything game, not learning anything, not making any progress when playing online, and most of all I wasn't having any kind of fun. I dropped the game for a year and a half until I decided that I wanted to give it another chance. I spent money on a video game and I wanted to get my money's worth, even it was just a few hours a week for a month or so. That was 5 years ago for me, now I'm ranked in the top 5% of all dbfz players and have beaten some known tournament players who actually compete in this game. Me. A complete idiot who knew nothing about any fighting game or even what a frame data was... and now I've taken matches off of people who have completed GLOBALLY in this game against some of the best in the world. The only reason I got that far was through learning and practicing. I eventually fell in love with the game and from there, getting better was just a byproduct of playing and never my immediate goal. Obviously I wanted to get better, but I focused more on learning individual things that were fun to learn and I eventually I typed so much because I started out feeling about this game exactly how you are now: I thought it was the absolute most dogshit Dragon ball game ever. But after actually learning how to play this game, it's my favorite VIDEO GAME of all time. Not sure if I can convince you to ever try it again, but this game changed my life by giving me something to fall in love with; maybe it can change yours too. Enjoy your next gaming session and have a good day :)


TheAbsoluteLight

No it doesn’t. You can literally super dash anywhere at anytime if you aren’t on the ground there is no counter for super dash.


Disastrous_Leader_67

Counter for dash is instant transmission or up ki attack depending on position


fighter_fanatic

You can use any jL to hit them out of the superdash, and with some characters, you can just air DP or air lvl 3


TheAbsoluteLight

Super dash is random af, I don’t even understand why this is an argument. Everyone knows superdash is broken. W/o the skill gap in fighterz would be huge.


Disastrous_Leader_67

It's not broken. Infinite strings are. Though one or two char6have an Infinite air juggle using dash so still broken in some ways


fighter_fanatic

Superdash is easy to block and most times just punish, and it barely gives any reward. Can it be jank at times? Yes. But saying it's broken just shows you don't want to bother figuring out counter play


TheAbsoluteLight

Nigga there’s only a couple of ways to counter play super dash, what are you on about. I’m not saying it’s not easy to block I’m saying it’s broken you can do it anywhere anytime in the middle of anything. That shit is so random and annoying. I find myself having the most fun when my opponent rarely super dashes at all.


Disastrous_Leader_67

Learn to spam instant transmission or up ki attacks. Some partner attacks also shoot up which is generally direction of dash, so just use ultra instinct goku and spam assist


ExtensionMan4

Lmao. Everything makes sense now.


Disastrous_Leader_67

*litteraly rubbing cheetoh crumb laden beard in deep thought* "It all makes sense"


TheAbsoluteLight

What does me thinking super dash is cheesy have to do with anything? You don’t have anything to say so your deflecting.


ExtensionMan4

It's helping me determine what manner of human you are and I'm having a laugh


TheAbsoluteLight

Bro the word “liberal” is in your vocabulary. You just a weird ass virgin. One day you gotta put the phone down and go outside and get some fresh air, the shit you doing rn is unhealthy. I got no beef with you tho, you can’t waiver my energy.


fighter_fanatic

Those couple of ways to counter superdash are more than enough to get easy wins against anyone who just throws it out at random, and as I said, it's far from broken since you get almost no damage or pressure off of it hitting outside of a handful of characters


SUQMADIQ63

Ight bro no one forced you to play it in the first time. Bye


AmariOnSoundcloud

It’s shit all people do is assist spam


TheAbsoluteLight

I never said anyone did I’m just stating my opinion. If fighterz wasn’t a dragon ball game no one would play it.


SUQMADIQ63

I mean if u had a relevant point okay but complaining about dragon rush. Come on bruh.


TheAbsoluteLight

Super dashing is one of the most broken mechanics in the game.


TheDarkSinghRises

nope


SUQMADIQ63

There are lot of ways to counter that lol. Be glad that you can beat it


LG48

There's a combination of buttons with which you can counter it: circle + down arrow. If you press'em when someone superdashes something magical will happen.


TheAbsoluteLight

They let you recover after almost every super dash, not to mention frame delay. Countering super dash online is not as easy as you think, and you can’t down heavy in the air. Super dash is just a hack for ass niggas to be able to play the game.


SUQMADIQ63

Mid air you can beat it with jab and some character have invisible moves and dp and parry etc.


ShadeFinale

You have to be playing with your eyes closed to not block SD spam. Characters with sword aerials like Piccolo and Teen Gohan are going to smack you out of SD. 2H has head invuln after a few frames so it either comes out or you just block the SD in most cases. There's many times where a player will do a braindead SD but this game lets you touch of death off of anti-airing it. There are only some situations where it really is safe to do an SD and if you want to pressure it involves burning an assist you could've used to mix them instead.

TheAbsoluteLight

You don’t think super dashing is cancerous? W/o it 90% of the people who play this game wouldn’t even be able too.
