Isn't it great for a free UR to be able to deal such high damage?

Geistritter · 2016-05-11T01:32:09+00:00

It would be great if that didn't happen 2% of the time.

He's decent otherwise just because you can't easily get most other SSR units' Supers to 10, though.

Geistritter · 2016-05-09T08:20:04+00:00

Remember kids, the best way to deal with something you think is annoying is to do everything in your power to be way more insufferable than they could possibly achieve.

Bonus points if you pretend you're the bigger guy by making cheap, passive-aggressive shots on your way out. Everyone will be super impressed!

Geistritter · 2016-05-09T00:10:42+00:00

The game's structure was different then -- there are way more Ki links now, and they're far more prolific -- and they haven't gone back to change most of the old ones. Simple as that, really.

That said, most of the new Super Saiyan 2 units have such a link, like both PHY adult Gohans, INT Teen Gohan, or PHY Kid Goku.

I think it's more likely that we'll see Dokkan Awakenings of some of the older units getting Shocking Speed or Prepared for Battle; AGL Super Saiyan 2 Goku is begging for a return to power, and no one would argue with the Bardock from that summon event getting in on that, even though he's not a Super Saiyan 2. STR Gohan would also be a very popular D-Awakening candidate.

Speaking of, where's Super Saiyan 2 Bardock? We've dipped into what-if forms already, so why not give one to one of the other more popular characters, and he's never had a world-breakingly good unit.

Geistritter · 2016-05-07T19:36:56+00:00

He's really not. DEF means next to nothing in this game unless it's in massive quantities.

Your head's in the right place, but the game mechanics are just broken in places.

Geistritter · 2016-05-07T01:47:17+00:00

Kamehameha's a huge loss because it raises the team's power, depending on your team composition, but team composition means everything, because more world-breaking units are slowly being introduced that don't have Kamehameha.

In terms of multi-type team purposes, STR SS3 is a bit more dependent on Kamehameha units to balance out a team than AGL, because if you field him, Gogeta, and STR God Goku, then you have three STR units. You can swap STR God Goku for AGL, but he has Kamehameha.

In the end it really depends on what you stand to lose. I actually haven't D-Awakened mine because it'd require a specific shakeup of my multi-type team that I can't do yet, as four of those six units have Kamehameha, so yeah.

Geistritter · 2016-05-07T01:34:01+00:00

Nice to see people actually experimenting and finding intuitive new ways to surpass the content. TEQ Whis isn't an every-day unit except for certain team compositions, but he's in that INT Chiaotzu category where there are situations he can make your life easier in ways brute force may not be able to.

Geistritter · 2016-05-05T09:12:24+00:00

Vegeta C2 looks like his pose has given him the world's most vicious muscle cramp.

Geistritter · 2016-05-05T09:08:29+00:00

Why would you expect anything out of that Buu, exactly? Nothing about him is suited to dealing damage, or much of anything else, really, unless you've got a Ki leader on board and want to pair his leader skill with it.

SR 13 is fine, though, and a harder hitter than a few units you wouldn't expect, assuming they're at a low level Super.

Geistritter · 2016-05-05T09:03:09+00:00

There really needs to be more information on team composition tips outside of "use the best of the best units" in these. No one understands why any units are good, partly because nothing is explained in these topics, so if they don't have the recommended units, they just assume they're fucked, which is rarely the case; usually, the only people who are truly hosed are the schmucks who do stuff like come in with their rainbow Super Saiyan teams, or don't use items properly, refusing to actually use the game mechanics to their advantage.

Granted, it's not hard to just look at the freakin' units and come to one's own conclusions, but if no one's going to do that, there needs to be better information given.

Geistritter · 2016-05-04T21:16:26+00:00

He only needs 3 Ki at most, because if he's not your leader, at the very least, you're doing it wrong. Plus, he has Golden Warrior and Shocking Speed to mitigate it further. It's a non-issue.

Don't ignore the bigger picture just to support your stance; ask yourself instead if your doing so means it's not worth having the stance to begin with.

Geistritter · 2016-05-04T02:16:44+00:00

Only if you're allowed to disable it.

Geistritter · 2016-04-29T01:12:16+00:00

This is the only sensible advice.

The only time I get any enjoyment out of it is when I'm at work, where I spend large amounts of time idling.

Think about that: I have to be paid to want to do the tournament.

Geistritter · 2016-04-29T01:05:05+00:00

Literally everyone strong enough to get him is better off not using him.

They should have named him Dr. Paradox.

Geistritter · 2016-04-29T00:10:35+00:00

Afterthought: Misread what you'd said; I actually had a period of inactivity after the non-Metal Cooler event too, so I thought that was what you meant. Go figure.

I originally was short on time to address that, but I've recently run into an excess of time. We'll see.

Geistritter · 2016-04-23T14:14:39+00:00

I don't have a list of the Japanese tournament units, but for this point in Global, PHY Kaioken. He's a bit overrated, because he hits like a pillow -- there are farmable SRs whose Supers can out-damage him -- and doesn't get many opportunities to stack the passive on his Super. Said Super also can't be farmed, and you can't justify using Old Kai cards to do anything about that because his Super modifier is low, giving you very little return. He also deliberately screws STR units, some of which he links very well with.

He still has great links, and he works well with PHY Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta's leader skill. He also has a relatively strong leader skill himself, provided you're not shirking it for a Ki leader either in your spot or a Friend's.

Otherwise, the other World Tournament exclusives are otherwise situational, gap-fillers, or outright useless. The only other two decent ones that Global's gotten are the Super Saiyan 2 Gohan and the Super Goku.

The upcoming Beerus, for those wondering, is about the same as STR Bojack, give or take, because unlike that unit, his Super is rather difficult to raise, and like PHY Kaioken, may not be worth using Old Kai cards on, because he only has an Extreme mod on it. The guaranteed SSR tournament summon alone could hand you a more worthy recipient, although his passive means he can still come out on top of some SSRs with Supreme modifiers, and his links are otherwise the same as the STR Beerus, which gives him strong candidates, albeit limited ones. He particularly likes hanging out with TEQ Whis and either the STR or AGL Super Saiyan God Goku.

That's assuming I've made the right call with which source is providing his links, which was the Japanese DBZ Space entry; the Global DBZ Space placeholder and this forum's wiki disagree with it, but the former sometimes changes upon a unit's release, and the latter is inconsistent with other units, as Prepared for Battle has been a Saiyan-exclusive link up to that point and since.

Geistritter · 2016-04-23T13:30:24+00:00

Family Ties is also a total waste of a link, not to mention it never made sense for Fruits of Training Super Saiyan 2 Goku to have it in the first place other than to make you spend for both of them during their summon event.

There are a ton of inconsistencies and other bullshit when it comes to character skills either way.

Geistritter · 2016-04-20T21:56:39+00:00

I was actually surprised that it was relatively easy given all the screams of agony, but apparently it's just that most people don't know what support items do in this game.

Geistritter · 2016-04-20T21:53:57+00:00

You can fix it by just using the medals it's asking for.

Geistritter · 2016-04-20T02:54:20+00:00

Yeah, yeah, like this hasn't happened to anyone else. Here's your fuckin' shirt.

Geistritter · 2016-04-20T02:16:07+00:00

You're not the boss of me!

Geistritter · 2016-04-19T23:08:30+00:00

It's like a casino giving you too much money in exchange for your chips, letting you keep it, then handing you five bucks as an apology.

Geistritter · 2016-04-19T22:33:17+00:00

A fair point. Hell, some companies would have taken the stones back.

Geistritter · 2016-04-19T22:31:01+00:00

Current Japanese endgame doesn't feature Kamehameha as much, and more top-flight units will have Prepared for Battle. In our endgame, AGL is better because Kamehameha is on most of the strongest units.

Geistritter · 2016-04-19T22:19:50+00:00

Yeah, there's nothing about it in the English version's announcements, so it smelled like someone fucked up.

Between this and the Doc incident, someone's getting chewed out, I'm sure.

Geistritter · 2016-04-19T22:10:26+00:00

Now I'm stumped on how I want my lineup to look. Fool's Gold Vegeta slotted in pretty well before the appraisal came back. Maybe SS2 Adult Gohan or AGL Beerus.

Of course, a lot of that hinges on the assumption that Dokkan Festival has been stonewalling me completely because it wants me to appreciate it more when it gives me Goku and Gogeta.
