NEW UI Goku GAMEPLAY! Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

[@BenJaiK]

I noticed how UI Goku's portrait on his health bar shows him with his full outfit undamaged. Finally we can play as UI Goku in a game without the outfit already pre-damaged.

[@supersaiyanfox9190]

Maybe that could indicate this being a transformation and not its own character.

[@superrequin2980]

@@supersaiyanfox9190 Tbh I'm not sure since he only had 1 transformation counter, so either he's his own character or else you can't go back to Base when you're in UI Sign

​@@supersaiyanfox9190wouldn't say so, the whole fight ui goku only had 1 transformation stock, which definitely means it isn't base form goku and definitely means its mui instead, if it was 2 transformation stocks then it'd be base and mui but thats not the case

[@ZeChADPK]

Can't wait to be disappointed This is more of a xenoverse than a tenkaichi The hit boxes are huge so it often looks like you hurt your opponent by hitting the air next to him, lot of particules clouding how readable the action should be and all the shit appearing on the screen every time you press a button pretty much I can tell already it still won't be as good as bt3

[@EternalStorm796]

you can see that this just a replay at the bottom of the screen if you pause just as the hud appears. So there wouldn't be a skill command list on a replay.

[@zoggere4226]

there is a bp system so if someones using gogeta blue, they probably spend like 8/10 points and their team is severly limited, if they allocate points correctly mr satan, tien, yajirobe, scouter vegeta, early goku will be fighting gogeta blue and maybe like first form freeza to balance it out.

[@sentaiz1329]

The only time balancing matters is in competitive ranked modes. In casual no one is going to pick the best character in the game over and over and over again. Their going to play whats fun to them. So I wouldn't worry to much about balance unless they add a ranked mode. And I'm sure they will end up tweaking damage numbers from some moves if they are out of control or if a character as like some weird buggy infinite combo that takes no skill to pull off.

[@wille-two-time5590]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@blazeknight2629]

They already said that there was a ranked mode but they also said that it was balanced that each person had a team cost and that some characters would be higher costing than others

The one thing that I feel shouldn't apply in a ranked match is when weaker characters cannot stagger stronger ones. It's cool when playing with friends or AI, but having that be a thing could completely axe all the canonically weaker characters. Other than that what can balance it is how many characters you get to choose based on power, like that one mode in BT3. So maybe if you pick Gogeta you only have space for like a Mr. Satan, but if you pick weaker characters you can fill up to a 5 character team.

Unclear if this was a cpu vs cpu battle. The way it looks seems like another online battle since "player 3" and "player 1", and reason it could say player 3 is maybe they accidentally unplugged the 2nd player controller and third controller didnt register as 2nd player which commonly happens

[@sir_will_iam]

The lack of balance is part of the Tenkaichi series' charm. It's a dragon ball game first and a fighting game second. It doesn't make sense to complain that the game is unbalanced because you couldn't defeat Super Broly as Videl. If that's what you're looking for, play DBFZ. I fear that trying to balance out the roster of this game will strip it of everything that makes it the beloved DBZ simulator it is.

[@bensupermario]

When they say “we are balancing the characters according to the anime” they just mean their stats. That doesn’t mean they can’t balance all these other erroneous variables in combat. You’re taking the statement “we aren’t balancing the characters” too generally I think. BP, ki, blast stocks, they all will contribute to how they’ll balance the characters and teams. They just mean Gogetas stats will always be higher than Hercule’s. They said they’re finding other ways to balance the system, so you’re not just gonna see the same characters every match. On top of the BP system requiring you needing weaker characters to have a full team, they’ll be balancing these other attributes. I’m sure we’ll have team variety.

[@NinjaKIngAce]

BT3 on the Wii had online. It wasn't good, but it was there. And yeah, based on the one match I played, most people are going to play the strongest characters, but that's part of the fun.

[@slymeseazon]

To be fair in terms of online balance, each character has a number next to them that’s higher based on how broken they are to limit people from running fully broken teams, just like in Tenkaichi 3. For example DBS Broly costs 8 points out of 10

[@UnStorm]

2 things I think are of note, it is pretty much confirmed that UI sign and UI are not part of Goku (Super). When Goku's Skill Count raises to 2, his transformation count stays at 1. Meaning he cannot go back to base and only has UI as an available transformation, compared to Goku Black who is already at his max transformation and has a transformation count meaning he can go back to base. Second thing, the move he did against Rosé at the end *may* not be the ultimate, due to it lacking the little visual flair of the screen being shadowed except for the eyes that is present in other ultimates from this game. This might be a stretch however.

⁠@@righteousone5119That could be the case, I’m assuming both MUI and UI is for the character “Goku (Super)” since it says on the website and when he’s revealed on the character trailer that the character name is “Goku (Super)” and the transformation name is Ultra Instinct so it’d be confusing to have two characters named “Goku (Super)”, a lot of characters can’t transform from certain transformations, for example you can go to super saiyan blue from base but you can’t go into super saiyan or super saiyan god from blue so maybe you can go from base to UI or MUI but base is the only transformation available from those two forms

[@blazeknight2629]

Whoever has the smallest hit box and best number values during a given period of times wins and thats super boring. Id rather characters in the anime that are strong remain strong, at least that's accurate and somewhat engaging. Theres no reason Z Frieza or Demon Piccolo should be stronger than Beerus 🤣

[@xvoidxhunter2129]

The thing is balancing is a fickle and Endless process, once you start bowing to the community to start nerfing shit the community will spend the games life cycle CONSTANTLY complaining and the devs will respond by CONSTANTLY tweaking it rather than adding stuff people care about. Look at TCS, Fortnite, DBD, Apex, CoD etc... Its not necessarily bad for those games, since they pride themselves being that way on purpose and being a different experience on a week by week basis, but FighterZ proved that the community (for fighting games at least) dont wanna have to study every set of patch notes and learn all the in game values just to figure out why their favorite character is trash all of a sudden: Only the Meta Slaves and Sweats care about that. The community by in large care instead about content and exploits/bugfixes mainly. Thats why Xv2 and BT3 is still alive and games like FighterZ arent so much. Despite the fact all 3 of them are db games with a strong modding community working on them in the background. There will ALWAYS be a meta character that people who sweat are gonna pick, that's just it; even BT3 had that cause everyone picks SS2 Teen Gohan, SS4 Gogeta, and Perfect Cell. Fighting games are never truely balanced as far as Meta is concerned, the strongest will always be picked and the Meta is whatever is strongest, changing who that character is fixes none of that... If Xv2 starting Nerfing Awoken Hit and Blue KK Goku, it'll just lean more towards Custom Jiren and Restrained Broly, then MUI Goku and Male Earthlings etc etc, so on and so forth. At that point you're just catering to the people who dont go outside and play online matches all day, the people who have forced themselves to see Gogeta Blue and UI Goku 24/7 instead of taking breaks and changing games when they get pissed off and instead hop on forums, Reddit, and comment sections to bitch at the devs about literally any and every character in the game and why they are "Too OP plz nerf". The solution is to not care so much, stop sweating about patch notes and balancing and just play the game for FUN. Instead of complaining you run into too many Blue Gogetas maybe ask yourself if you're playing online too much and need a break. Ik for me personally im not gonna be playing online much aside from fighting my friends, the last thing imma wanna do is play online against randoms
