Did you find this video helpful? let me know if you want more tip videos like this one!

[@WitnessesSay]

I love how characters not in base game are somehow more common a sight than super saiyan goku online. You’d really think it’d be different.

[@Toji-KO]

Yeahh ssj goku and vegeta are kinda of like the Ken and Ryu of the game I guess, they can be a bit plain and basic compare to the other characters

[@lmao2302]

They have no swag at all in most of their animations.

[@stuff400]

I used to play this on the reg I got to supreme Kai. I'm ashamed that I have to google these videos years after I stopped playing..

[@Toji-KO]

Lol don’t worry! That’s exactly how I got back into the game after I put it down for years!

[@kingvonafterdark]

its tuff playin against 21 gogeta and broly while my team is base goku, base vegeta and krillin

[@Toji-KO]

It do be like that but your team is definitely equipped to take them down! Base vegeta can be really hard to deal with especially!

@@Toji-KO bro i was playing my friend in a casual match and I hit him with galick gun (lv 1 super) 6 times in a row. I didn't even press any other buttons just galick gun and I won. Funniest shit ever

[@ripst1kz]

Honestly I’m a noob but I made it up to android and I’ve noticed that most people in the lower ranks super dash a lot so 2H really helps

[@Toji-KO]

Yes super dashing tends to be a habit for many players across all ranks so being able to counter it can be super helpful! Good job on getting to android rank!

[@shxrplol]

Thank you so much for the universal bnb combo, I was able to learn it either way I started yesterday, thank you so much and for the other tips, also how you so low on subs, you’re so good man

[@Toji-KO]

Thank you man, appreciate it!! Hope you continue to enjoy the game and I’m sure you’ll be ranking up in no time! 🎉

[@shxrplol]

@@Toji-KO for sure man! Also just a little bit of a question, I was wondering if you had any tips on maybe things like movement and how you move during a match against someone, also sadly I can’t really wake up due to not really having PS Plus, but when I get my new PC, I’m probably gonna switch there so I can get cool skin mods and stuff. Anyways sorry for the late response and hope to see you upload more.

[@ar7hur06]

I'm trying to get good at FighterZ since 3 years ago, and I never seem to get any better at it for some reason. Sometimes I block high and my character jumps, sometimes my character doesn't block at all, blue combos land on my but I was mashing square so I should've teched, I can't seem to tech dragon rushes even though I mash really hard, my combos miss a lot, and I seem to be doing everything right, but it never works. Sometimes simply just staying at the corner and crouching can leave completely without any ideas of what to do. It's frustrating and I feel like I'm going in circles. What should I do at this point? Give up? I like FighterZ, but I never seem to understand how this game works...and how some people mash everytime and it works for them and how I mash and it never works. If anyone reads this...please help.

[@patriotpenguin3892]

With the first set of issues like accidentally jumping or teaching not working your controller could be the problem if not it’s your thumb placement. Make sure you use the dpad if it’s comfortable as it’s more consistent and make sure your thumb is in the MIDDLE of your dpad not on the ends of the buttons. Hope this helps 😁

[@Essa_Jotaro]

3:36 ❤ wise choice

[@Toji-KO]

Only the cultured agree !

[@SvukkiKano]

Yooo ive watched lotus for about 3 years now and he as well is the reason i went from watching him pull of trunks 1v3s to buying the game and pulling off the same. The flips is what got me man 💀 i love trunks combos

[@Toji-KO]

Yeahh exactly man! Trunks is so fun to play!

[@Dig_Duke_SFM]

I loved this video and the future ones. I recommended my friend who's new to the game, i couched him the basics of what i knew, but im terrible at explaining things. Your videos from what ive seen, are very useful. I subbed, hope your channels takes off and congrats on the recent 400! ❤️

[@Toji-KO]

Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate it a lot bro ❤️ glad you’re enjoying the video and I’ll be sure to post more just like this too keep helping you guys out!

Is… is that a good thing?

[@Thememedrag0n]

GHOST NAPPA!!!

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

Two video guides that showed me some techniques I hadn't thought of prior were a video by NovaZayn about Advanced Pressure, and a short by Mister Acolyte called "how to improve your pressure". Both channels are really good,

[@XyLo2517]

This video is a giant troll lmao. I did get a laugh out of it so it’s not useless. Nice work

[@Toji-KO]

I mean what else were you expecting from a beginners guide

[@XyLo2517]

@ definitely was not expecting “pick unique characters” in a beginners guide. More so expected “pick x selection of characters because they have low skill ceilings and are best suited for beginners”

[@Toji-KO]

@XyLo2517 in a game like dbfz where all the characters play almost identical to each other on a basic level, picking characters with low skill ceilings isn’t a great option in my opinion. If you want to then fine but playing lesser played characters that have unique gimmicks that people don’t always know how to play around is going to be a cheat code for beginners to rank up while also learning characters with higher skill ceilings - so when they do get the basics down they can transition to the advanced stuff more easily

[@XyLo2517]

@ gimmicks are the absolute worst for beginners. Cheat codes also don’t really help people get better either. Not every character plays nearly identical. There’s lots of nuance in neutral and advantage state. A good beginner character would be something like ssj goku, bluku, trunks, ssj vegeta, or base vegeta. A lot of these characters have great neutral and have the easy to learn universal bnb. What makes these characters especially beginner friendly is they have a move that side switches on its own or an immediate overheard, so it can provide easy mix for beginners. Ssj vegeta also has probably the easiest 50/50 in the corner for beginners. A beginner absolutely wouldn’t know the first thing to do with nappa as his neutral is atrocious

[@Toji-KO]

@XyLo2517 @XyLo2517 gimmicks aren’t the worst at all 😂 you’re telling me that a beginner wouldn’t be able to implement something like 18’s +2 ki blast? And yeah 100% agree with your breakdown of your beginner characters but my point is that they’re extremely common and at higher ranks, it’s likely that more people will know how to deal with their pressure. A beginner isn’t going to know the first thing to do with ANY character, the point is about learning what will push you through the ranks quickest.

[@Micha-Hil]

why do you only have 150 subscribers this is an awesome guide

[@the10creative-blinis46]

I just started the game and I want to know how to get close to do the bread and butter combo

[@aldynsoto8245]

So when I start my bnb combos I usually do 2 lights before. I find it hard to start off with a 2m. Any tips?

[@Toji-KO]

Starting with two lights is fine however it just results in slightly less damage. What exactly is it that you find hard about starting with a 2M ?

[@aldynsoto8245]

@@Toji-KO just getting close and becuz doing the lights are faster so I’m guaranteed a combo if it lands but I can never seem to hit 2m’s on time

[@Toji-KO]

So it seems like actually doing the combo isn’t the problem but instead you want to focus on getting close and then opening up your opponent. In that case you need to improve and practice on your ‘neutral’ to get close and practice character specific block strings to open up your opponent once you’re in. Remember though, it’s not the end of the world if you don’t land a 2M, a basic combo is much better than no combo at all! 👍🏽

[@Escapist_t]

I can only use that bnb combo as the description says in the corner? Should i change the combo when im in the middle of the map?

[@Toji-KO]

As far as I’m aware you don’t need to change it, should work both in the corner and mid map

[@Tochiuchiha094]

Tip n°4 is facts tho since the new patch everybody playing yasha’s team literally everybody….

[@kodestaaa]

What is J in the combo

[@Toji-KO]

[@Goku_The-God]

I’ve had this game since it came out got the day one addition played it a couple times I realized I’ve had 56 rank matches and 11 wins when I re downloaded and I only have 2 hrs into the game

[@Toji-KO]

Amazing! Keep practicing bro! And keep and eye out for more guide videos in the future, they’re on the way!

[@noww446]

This video made me realize that fighting games are just not for me no matter how much time I put into it and try to like it it's just too much information for me to process I don't know how anyone gets good at these types of games but more power to them

[@Toji-KO]

You got this bro! Don’t overthink it, just learn one thing at a time and abuse that one thing in all of your matches until it becomes second nature!

[@Saul_goodman98]

Is kid goku uncommon or common?

[@Toji-KO]

I feel like he’s fairly uncommon now days and he can also be a pretty tricky character, at most ranks people don’t know how to deal with a good kid goku player in my opinion

[@roberttanner7041]

I can't find the combo code u put out here for the trick

[@Toji-KO]

Do you mean for the bnb combo?

[@N.A.Kisgood]

what is J?

[@Toji-KO]

Jump!

[@yeeyaboi5563]

Universal anti air my beloved

[@IceAlias]

Do you have advice for mastering the bnb. I know the combo but it's not consistent because normal I can't get down the double jump after modair 2h. Also normally as an alternative I use specials to make up for that if that's viable at all. Last thing my current team is point vegito, mid ui goku, and anchor frieza with all a assist if you have any advice for that

[@Toji-KO]

Using specials to make up for the bnb combo will usually not be more beneficial than using the bnb however it can be viable until you learn it, try to buffer your inputs if you’re missing the jump, for example while your 2H is landing already have your fingers pressing jump and then L instantly after each other. Your team is pretty good even tho frieza isn’t that strong, personally I would put frieza as point with vegito mid and ui goku anchor, learn the mix ups and block strings and you should be good!

[@IceAlias]

@@Toji-KO thanks for the advice. I figured frieza should be anchor because of golden

[@IceAlias]

@@Toji-KO ok ngl I just saw a zamasu video and I'm thinking of replacing froeza with him, same team?

[@Toji-KO]

Zamasu would work pretty well, he’s fairly hard to learn though so best of luck!

[@givemesubsplz5698]

@@IceAlias Zamasu isn't easy to learn but once you get used to him. He is really op. Frieza is also a weird character to use. I started using Vegito SSGSS and his combos were so strange at first but once you get used to using certain characters, you will improve.

[@romansrevengethethirdstrik8086]

Not the biggest fan of you recommending some of the most obtuse and hard to learn characters for beginners at the start of the game, especially the ones with powerful and complex advantage states new players will have major trouble using.

[@Toji-KO]

I understand your point however learning no one character is going to give any player a huge boost long term. My main point was that by learning unique, lesser played characters you’re going to give yourself a huge advantage at beginner ranks against opponents who won’t have played against these characters often. Ofc some of these characters have difficult combos to learn however the combos aren’t always essential to their play style. Android 18 for example is extremely easy to learn however she has a more advanced loop combo but, at the same time she also offers a few gimmicks and crazy knockdown pressure that beginner opponents might not necessarily know how to deal with! Hope I’ve managed to get my point across a bit clearer haha!

[@romansrevengethethirdstrik8086]

@@Toji-KO It might help if people playing at lower levels is trying to be playing around the opponent and their unqiue tools as opposed to gogeta blue 2Ming their way to insane pressure. Kid Buu's crazy mix and Captain Ginyu's setplay doesnt really matter if you lose neutral and get slammed in the corner and mixed to death by fusions

[@Toji-KO]

You’ve just answered your own question there bro, if losing neutral is the problem then it’s not necessarily down to the characters you pick (sure some have better neutral than others) but the fundamentals of neutral apply to all the characters!

[@BraydenRogers-wo7ff]

My dbfz team is literally vegito vegeta base and goddamn bardock

[@DaBlackFrieza]

I’m hard stuck Majin rank and can’t figure out how to continue.

[@Toji-KO]

What team do you play and what are you finding most challenging?

[@DaBlackFrieza]

I play a team of Goku Black A assist, Adult Gohan C assist, and Blue Goku B assist. I know the game isn’t all about combos and can do quite a bit except rejump combos those are way too hard to do, but is frame data super important? Because I don’t know anything about frame data.

[@Toji-KO]

Sounds like a pretty good team! And yes frame data is super important! Like I mentioned in the video it dictates when you’re safely able to continue/start attacking your opponent or whether you need to block. An example for your team is goku blacks 2S ki blast. It’s +5 on block (I think) and this means if your enemy presses any button after blocking the 2S they’re going to get hit. At majin rank I wouldn’t expect many players to know about this so they’ll often fall for the trap. Android 18 also has a similar 2S and she carried me through the ranks lol. Bit of a ramble but yes, highly suggest learning frame data !
