    The DBFZ General: v3 SSGSS Edition (NOT CLICKBAIT)

    So I have some questions. (Brand new to fighting games. Picked up dbfz last week and thats the extent of my time trying to learn a fighting game)

     

    First, I thought you just had to hold back and a button to get out of a combo if they drop part of it but when I played a few matches that wasn’t working. Figure I’m either dumb or there was more too it.

     

    Second, do you have any tips on getting used to the rhythm of moves and transitioning to different inputs you haven’t labbed? For example I can do a basic BnB combo with kid buu (he’s the one I’m having the hardest time with because his moves have weird delays) the combo starts as 2m-5m-jl-m-l-jl-m-2h ect… but in a real match I have to do stuff like air dash forward h overhead to 2m-5m ect… Is there a good way to practice these kinds of changes so I don’t panic when I don’t just get a free setup? I find that I end up mashing so I get stuff like two 2m and miss my 5m opportunity. Same thing happens in some other combos when I have to wing the start, I’ll end up mashing.

     

    Do I just need to keep grinding other combos and as muscle memory improves it will work itself out or is there something I can do to get used to reacting to those changes faster?

    Glad to see ya made it. 

     

    1. You tech by holding a direction and pressing a button. I usually just press Light. Lots of people don't expect you to tech down, I would work on trying to tech in different directions to keep yourself ambiguous. 

     

    2. You just need to practice doing inputs more. One of the most important skills to have in this game is being able to turn a stray hit in neutral into big damage. Practice a lot of instant air dashes into Heavy. Kid Buu's jumping heavy is ideal for this. Eventually you'll just be in the same situation so many times that your hands automatically know what to press without even thinking about it. It just takes time and patience man. Practicing combos over and over again off normals you're not comfortable with will speed that process up a lot though. The more combos you try and learn off different moves, the more you'll understand how things flow together. 

     

    At first it's hard to apply newly learned combos in real matches because you're still focusing on so many different things. Even if you can do a combo like the back of your hand in the lab you're still gonna have tons of matches where you just don't have the mental capacity to worry about everything that's happening on screen AS WELL AS your shiny new combos. 

     

    Just keep playing, keep going back to the lab and practicing stuff you struggle with execution wise. Once it becomes easy to do, play real matches until it's easy to do in a real match too. 👌

    I really enjoy all the charge characters in SFV. I always used to play Bison in every SF, but it's been a ton of fun learning this game with Urien. For all intents and purposes he's become my main in both this and Third Strike. 

     

    So far, I have the most fun with him, Seth, and maybe Guile or something. Guile seems awesome. It's been fun trying everyone out over the last few months. I'm playing this game now in 4 months more than I've ever played it since 2015. I just find it to be such a funner product than when it launched.

    Request whatever you want.  I choose themes based on whether I think they will look good/technical feasibility.

    You said you rotate them out right? Have you considered just keeping every theme made as an option? I'd hate to see this MvC1 theme go.

    Welcome. 

     

    Seeing how we didn't seem to have an avenue for discussion yet.... I went ahead and did the honors. There's the old thread, but it wasn't very organized and hasn't seen a post for 2 years. 

     

    Come here for everything Dragonball FighterZ. Post tech, discuss meta, or just meme around. Sonichuman did his best on the old site to post new content, so I'll do the same here. 

     

    Here's some content to get us started:
