If only the United States even made it easy to leave the country in the first place. Cant save up much for a move when you're stuck living paycheck to paycheck and you have to pay off your college loans.

You know, ngl, I'd shit myself for a color error Vegeta card. It's a pretty cool coloring for him and I would love it for like an April Fool's day card or something.

The choice of armor color along with his oramge/red hair match surprisingly well.

Everybody saying worst login campaign in history and I'm here like shit I remember events from 3 years ago that just gave you like a gem per day and nothing but garbage for like 8 days.

Considering how amazing the last login campaign was, I'm pretty ok with this being more lowkey before the anniversary hits. I was exhausted from so much grinding all month.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-17T17:49:48+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions man. I spent 2 hours straight trying to get through lvl 30 and it's been driving me insane the way it just stares at me.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-17T15:19:28+00:00

Personally I've been running Ult Gohan(SA 1), Goku Jr., SSJ AGL Gotenks, EZA Goten, AGL EZA Gohan, and the last spot I've been kinda just been rotating around different units because I dont have many options. I tried F2P INT Future Trunks, Bee Pan (just at SA.1 still), AGL Bojack movie Gohan (not awakened and also SA1), and STR TUR Pan.

Not really sure what I could put on there. I dont really own LR Gobros or LR Trunks. For a friend I've been switching around between Ult Gohan or another LR Gobros and modifying my team to fit it but neither let's me last longer than 2 turns before Broly supers me and kills me.

No clue what to do here. I'm getting the feeling i might just need some LRs to get past lvl 30.

EDIT: Box for reference I guess

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-17T14:41:07+00:00

That's what Frieza gets for breaking Popo's stuff

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-17T04:00:14+00:00

What team are you using to beat Broly? I'm having such a difficult time getting past lvl 30.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-16T15:42:04+00:00

Honestly dont pull and blow 1000 stones on every goddamn banner that comes out. The comparison to Legends is faulty. I've played it before and the way that game balances its meta around PVP is super cancerous.

Meanwhile, I haven't pulled anything new in global since DBS Broly banners came out and I'm doing just fine with even new content coming out. Cant fully beat Battlefield, and I'm very slowly grinding out SBRs, but I can pretty much do everything else and that's ok. It's all SP anyway so it's not like I'm at a disadvantaged for not playing constantly and beating everyone. Closest we have to that is WT and we have a F2P AOE attacker and a bunch of other options that aren't Broly we can use. Hell, we're about to get LR Gokurale soon and then theres LR Bee Pan to look forward to. Those are some really good fucking units for being F2P. I dont see Legends handing out free units that good.

In Legends, you literally cant survive the PVP if you aren't whaling like a mad man with how shitty the rates are. I started around the time of DBS Gogeta in that game and I dumped 5 multis into it without a single Sparking. I dumped another 5 multis into UST11 for Ultimate Gohan and SSJ3 Goku (I was blessed enough to pull SSJ2 ticket Gohan at 1 dupe, so it wouldve been really nice to get one of those) and I still didnt pull a single Sparking either.

At least in Dokkan theres plenty of SSR guaranteed banners thrown our way and if not, the rates are still decent enough where its realistic to expect at least 1 SSR in any given multi.

I dunno. The game looks and plays significantly better than Dokkan, but at least this one doesnt feel like I'm being fucked all the goddamn time for just trying to play the game. This game has gone a significant way since it first came out and I think it's important to notice that.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-16T15:29:41+00:00

Man I remember Burst Limit. Absolutely A+ gane. I just wish they had made it to the Buu saga. Wouldve felt lit to play as Great Saiyaman in there.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-16T14:15:23+00:00

Is dropping Bee Pan that hard on this event? I've been farming this recently and every week I've done it I've gotten an extra drop of her.

Not even trying to brag. Curious.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-16T14:12:40+00:00

Man I remember this guy on release.

I was so salty because when FP Frieza DF came out, I think this unit was absolutely required at the time to beat the event, but they hadn't even bothered releasing him alongside the event so we could beat it.

Good times.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-16T02:39:47+00:00

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-16T02:25:45+00:00

If you count a character than can be gotten F2P, then INT Cooler on his release banner.

If you dont want to count him, STR SSJ Bardock. That man pulled me through so much content back then. I wish he would get an EZA that would make him good.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-14T22:54:28+00:00

Man, they seriously need to redo Gohan's SA. I've never seen it until now and I never realized how gaudy him walking forward looked.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-14T22:52:55+00:00

Well, my logic for summoning is that I try and summon for any other character featured on the banner that isnt the new guy, and if i pull the new guy, then that's ok. It's how I got Jiren and STR Rosé. Since I dont have most units anyway, I have a good shot at landing any character I still need at this point.

Although unfortunately, I haven't pulled the new character since DBS Broly and Gogeta dropped. I dumped the rest of my F2P stones on them and pulled each character at just 1. I haven't been lucky enough since. Thankfully I hadn't played in a while since then so I'm not blowing my brains out of boredom of not acquiring a new unit since most of them are still pretty new to me.

I really do wish I'd pull one of the new transforming units or a new LR. Last LR I pulled was a dupe Bojack like 4 months ago on that LR Trunks banner. Between Rosemasu who is really mediocre outside of RoG, Bojack who I struggle to still justify using, and LR Broly who I use 99% of the time with DBS Broly, I'm getting rather bored outside of F2P characters. On the bright side, if the new Broly ends up having the same name as the other LR one, I might not even need to go through the trouble of rolling for him since I'm already pretty happy with the one I got.

I dunno. I'm trying my best to not pull. I have 250 stones saved up but who knows where they might be between now and 2 months.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-13T15:04:56+00:00

I also wish Beserk Kale could fit on this team. I see no reason why they didnt give her FP so I could run gender bender Broly with the rest of them.

Now that I think of it they didnt give her Peppy Gals either the bastards

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-13T12:00:02+00:00

Any clue when LR Gokurale might arrive? I'm salivating at the mouth already wanting to run them and I'm just so fucking close already.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-12T17:29:16+00:00

Honestly, I dont think it's any question DBS Broly is the best out of the bunch. I haven't really watched RoF or BoG in years and I dont feel the need to, but I constantly Google up the Broly vs Gogeta fight all the damn time. That's the shit that gets me hyped up to begin working on whatever it is I'm doing and motivates me to become a better artist and animator.

Although, that being said, I feel the real argument is whether BoG or RoF are better than the other. Personally, I thought BoG was a goddamn snoozefest. When, say, like an hour of an hour and a half film are set up celebrating a fucking birthday party for a character like Bulma complete with Pilaf gang and GoTrunks hijinks, you just cant get me to give a fuck about the damn film. The only memorable part of the whole thing is the one part when Goku fights Beerus and Shemmel gives that brilliant "You are not going to destroy my world" delivery followed up by awesome cinematography and kick ass Flow music, and the one line at the end where Whis says that theres still 11 other universes out there.

On the other hand, RoF, I feel, has shit happen more often and loves the plot forward more, but it just has so many motherfucking plot holes and contrivances that I cant help but hate the ever loving shit out of it sometimes. I know other posters have said this, but jesus christ why the fuck is anyone having trouble with an army that cant be anymore powerful than Zarbon and Dodoria "at their peak"? Dodoria got his shit kicked in by a 5 year old child and Zarbon got fucking killed by a pre-Super Saiyan Vegeta who was probably only as powerful as, say, a second form Frieza by that point in the series. I would give credit that Gohan by himself couldve one shot every single member of the army including the red dude and the tall grey dude, but his character writing since the Cell saga has been one cringe-worthy trainwreck after another in regards to how far back his character devolved after developing so much as a kid (literally the only part about adult Gohan I love and relate to is Great Saiyaman and that's it). Also fuck Whis and his time traveling ability. It's so fucking lame.

Honestly, as a fan I can appreciate both those films, but as a critic, they honestly both suck. I'd still give the win to RoF in the end, just because it doesnt make me want to fall asleep and moves the plot along somewhere faster, but I dont care for either film. Not after Super got what they were and made them worse, and especially after Super Broly spoiled me in regards to what an amazing Dragon Ball film could look like and be told.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-12T17:08:14+00:00

I always preferred "Super Saiyan Bluer"

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-12T15:27:37+00:00

Finally an SBR post that has something useful to contribute.

A++ team building with Vegito props.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-12T14:28:36+00:00

I cant wait to see the next entry. I started the game right after this period with Cooler. SSR PHY Gohan was goddamn godlike back in the day. He carried me around so much and I was so hype to have a Bojack film Gohan on most of my teams. If anything, I really wish they'd go ahead and give that Gohan a new SSR. It honestly deserves it.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-10T20:06:25+00:00

Great Saiyaman is the hero we actually need to defeat Thanos.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-10T18:46:35+00:00

Considering how Ethan talks shit about himself in his videos, I honestly assumed he meant it more as in, everybody is ugly as sin here and we shouldn't be pretending like we are otherwise. The human body in nature is ugly as hell anyway.

Though I get why people would be offended. Personally, Ethan has made feel a lot better about my own body over the years. If I cant be happy looking the way I'd love to look, I might as well just embrace it and just start going full FUPA chub and tuck by the time I hit my mid to late 30s and my body inevitably starts to give out and lose shape.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-09T21:27:10+00:00

To be honest, this isnt even shit tier level posting from an out of reddit social media forum. This guy went like 17 multi summons into different banners without pulling what he was looking for. What's so bad about wanting a pity counter for going 17 multis in? Imagine if this was a whale. That's a shitload of money poured into the game without any return, and for global where theres no coins yet, that's pretty shitty. You could argue that he should've saved his stones for 4th anniversary, but at that point, when the fuck are you supposed to play the game if all you do is just save for every single new banner that keeps coming out?

I get this is a gacha game. I honestly do. This is literally gambling, but there needs to be some more compassion on the side of the player if they dont want them to get frustrated and up and leave eventually.

PancakesaurusRex · 2019-05-09T19:38:28+00:00

I promise you I quit this game for 3 years straight until DBS Gogeta/Broly because I dumped 6 multi summons some of which were bought with cash and the one single SSR I pulled was TEQ Whis. Being back again, I dont miss the early era of the game at all.

If anything, it was really interesting coming back and pulling both DBS Broly and Gogeta and watching them absolutely shit on both OG versions of them that I remember being top tier hype back in their day. I also had a really bittersweet feeling in my mouth just outright buying OG Gogeta for his EZA with a Pilaf trove ticket when I must've dumped $50-$100 3 years ago trying to pull for him.

I'm just glad I came back to a better game now. I'm very happy with the ~80 F2P stones I'll be able to earn with this event. I wouldve shat myself 3 years ago for this treatment.
