[@EnbyVess]

@@truesdale7388I mean, yeah, it’s good as a flavor thing, it’s moreso that in a game where staying on your opponent to pressure them, activating a relatively slow charge that holds you still isn’t that great, especially when options that beat charge like beams can lead to combos. Which is fine, I think the games where you charge each time you knock your opponent away get tedious. The buff to make it deflect ki blasts was good, made it a decent way to build meter at a range if you read your opponent.

[@MetaGamingDojo]

the clash mechanic is f***ing awesome.

[@MulkeyBlueQuartet]

True haha I think people main problem with it is how it feels "random" and "scrambly", which is exactly why I love it lol

[@all-starsilver1835]

It's also one of these mechanics that isn't super common or played around in the meta, so the annoyance factor is lessened Playing against another Jam and clashing ryuujins in neutral is still one of the funniest things I've done in Guilty Gear

[@bobross4616]

Yeah, he wanted a longer list. 95% love clashes. It just looks to cool. And its not really unfair, its pretty straight forward, if yours is quicker or Red Gogeta's, you just win the clash. But you gotta mash quick too.

[@kenja0685]

Under no circumstance would I ever want a priority system where a button just autoloses to another when they would overlap on the same frame. ESPECIALLY in a situation you are trying to abare out of potentially degenerate pressure. Clash mechanic is by far the better alternative.

[@all-starsilver1835]

im curious, why is it bad to you? for me i think its pretty alright

[@whitehairedbadass3475]

​@@nyantheburrito839Air guard cancel? You usually just do it on accident, you're usually not being mixed while you're still in the air, and people usually recover in time to block it. Almost always a guaranteed punish because of how jailing with air normals works. I've never seen someone do it on purpose.

Block breaker in mkx, literally the worst use of your super meter in any fighting game in my opinion, you spend so much for quite literally nothing

[@stridertakahashi4120]

I'd definitely put my vote in for autocombo on whiff. Its gotten SLIGHTLY better with rollback but i still have daily nightmares about opponents facerolling the light button in delay netcode and not being able to fight back because the lag felt like trying to throw a punch in your dreams.

[@astilla4729]

For me the 2 worsts mechanics are Limit Break and Level 1 into Level 3 while in limit break. Having your health bar deleted by any stupid hit (and we know how many stupid things are in this game that are hard to avoid) just deletes your character with little effort. We already had sparking being really good in a last stand, we didn’t need another damage buff, AND NOT EVEN NEAR something like level 1 into level 3 Before you at least needed a good combo and level 3 into mix to start the comeback. Now you can kill out of a super dash or any hit basically. I want the people to be able to do a comeback while thinking and outsmarting the other player with skill, not just a random power up the game gave you bc you were losing.

[@DoeJiinShii]

I gotta say tho, Thank you Cloud! I am tired of people talking about buff this and nerf that, the games mechanisms are dated and needs to be polished. THANK YOU.

[@DemonKing4733]

I'm not a fan of the level 5 mechanic mainly cause it's only for certain characters. I feel like it should be on almost all the characters, with the exceptions being krillin, godcha, etc.

[@cloud805er]

But you can ki charge in combos for meter and use it against ki blast heavy characters.

[@ezekieledwards7092]

honestly I hate limit breaking power especially level 1 into level 3 for free.

[@Lord_Hyozan]

If you're saying ki charge is worse, you dont know what you're talking about lol. Ki charges recovery isnt nearly as bad as it used to be and you get meter from it AND you block ki blasts. while air guard cancel has literally no up sides besides doing it during a few characters air specials.

[@themidgarbadass2517]

I can’t believe I popped off at this video. I knew it was AGC the second I booted this video. I’ve never seen a more pointless mechanic. I literally just want to call an assist before I get staircased but if I hold forward just a TINY bit then I just have to say goodbye to my next character

[@cloud805er]

might have been the only one who guessed correctly. nice!

[@disposableincome]

Air guard cancel should GIVE a bar for the balls it takes to try it. They put it in the game because of season 2 snap meta but they killed snap AND added it in the same patch right?

[@durma6924]

Clashes are the most P2W mechanic in dbfz despite being far from the worst. And you used exhibit A of why this is true: The red ape Trunks gettting smoked by just about everyone in a clash is partially the reason why I don't fw FighterZ anymore

[@DoeJiinShii]

I feel you on the clash but this game lowkey got a horrid system. I loved Clashes in games like Clash Of Ninja cuz it’s a lot less about the numbers and more so “Oh fuck, our fists are cooking!”

[@Ethan-pr3rz]

I hate raw tag personally. At least let me happy birthday the retreating character if my moves are still hitting their model. Then if I’m goated I can actually 2H instead of just whiffing my button.

[@sir_wffles]

I don't know if I'm crazy but isn't there a mechanic that makes you unable to raw tag after block stun for a seemingly arbitrary amount of time? Like there's just a big X on that specific character assist. Probably a side product of making people unable to instantly call assists after a block string (which fair enough) but dang does it feel terrible expecting a raw tag and instead standing there looking stupid and getting hit.

[@cloud805er]

yeah theres a cool down period to raw tag after getting hit or blocking just as theres a cool down period to call assist after blocking or getting hit. some players use the red X to punish a raw tag but then at the high level players use the red X to fake a raw tag and trick their opponent.

[@EnbyVess]

First video of yours I’ve watched in a good while, love the hair. Looks good on you!

[@PacificAsgard]

im throwing my guess at worst mechanic being empty vanish on spark (i'll watch till the end) Edit: okay i was wrong but ngl you right. I can't even think of who uses that mechanic in the game

[@PaleNightingale]

I hate the clash system. It's too complicated and ridiculously rare. It's not frequent enough to be worth labbing almost, but if you don't you'll be lost when it randomly happens.

[@y-huss]

MANY ppl use 6M as offense and its 0 on block, so if you block it, learning to effectively clash when you both press 5L is super important.

[@Gravxes]

@@y-hussas soon as I see you use 6M once I stopped respecting your offense entirely simply because that is their offense in most cases and once they see their 6M is not working they either scramble or wait full screen and wait for their assist to return but a decent or good player will simply start using it more sparingly and I got to adapt appropriately which is rare on DBFZ to find a genuinely good player at times who isn’t cheesing or has a horrible connection🤷‍♂️

[@nironagendram9501]

Lol but its so dragon ball lol

[@terrakage4462]

Not really, just have to have a good reaction time. It is demanding but possible. Some of the sickest clips I have is because of an unexpected clash when or lose.

[@YamiMaho__]

I'm confused?? Like I can't think of the last time I clashed or had that. It's been a long freaking time. More than anything we trade hits and both of us get hit back so idk

[@disposableincome]

You trade when you have like one character hitting high and one hitting low, but if they're both the same priority and area you get a trade.

[@gathewoo]

Before I watch I'm going to predict the WORST is Super dash since it lets you cross full screen very quickly and do some other funky things like it randomly turning Edit: I was wrong. well played cloudman

[@sir_wffles]

Truuuuu. Honestly I can put up with the full screen charge at you cus there's counterplay like 2H antiair or just jab them out of it, and I think it's what makes Fighterz Unique and less zoning heavy. But the JANK, the JANK WTF

[@bluejay7058]

@@sir_wffles I think this is the most well rounded take. It's probably necessary given the tools we have, but the jank makes it SO infuriating because entire situations can be lost off of "oh superdash felt like whiffing/crossing up/going to the top of the screen."

[@blacxice]

The worst mechanic is gogeta ss4 auto combo nerf it!!!!!

[@SoloGamer42]

For me the worst mechanic in Dragon Ball Z is the sparking mechanic. I understand if utilized correctly it's a great mechanic and I often use it to finish a combo that wouldn't kill otherwise but will with spark, however I often find people just use it with one character and end up just mashing whatever buttons work to get that first hit in. Or end up rushing in spamming Auto combos all the time. And the sad thing is even at medium or high level people still will do the strategy. It's so annoying to have to stop everything I'm doing and wait for them to rush me and 2h them. The second mechanic that I probably hate would be the auto combo and I just hate that because some characters have obnoxiously irritating to punish Auto combos. And even after 6000 hours I never expect the person to do another Auto combo right after failing and getting punished doing one😅

[@SoloGamer42]

Probably my favorite mechanic though is the changes to the Ki blast mechanic. A lot of the new combo mechanics added in the final update really did had a lot of cool new combo routes and stuff like that.

[@SoloGamer42]

I still hate C assist if used improperly but I can't say that I hate it as a mechanic anymore as much as I used to. I mostly get frustrated when people just have three of them and constantly spam them forcing you to change your play style. I think the reason everyone hates them is they're relatively hard to deal with in delay, but I myself have learned that online they make combos a lot easier to perform and what are my tournament friends always has at least two of them in his team if he's doing an online tournament. And some of the combos you can do with them are stupid and fun. And finally if a person isn't good at fighting games but likes to play the game they are a good way for them to learn combos and get around some of the harder mechanics, and some players just flat out use these assists so well😊

[@astilla4729]

Sparking is good, but now it’s kinda braindead with the super dash cancels and the special into special thing It always had been something super strong, and i like it a lot since it’s kinda like transforming or having an install that severely affects how the game is played But you can still get read on or bait it, or force it, or get hit and that makes the opponent make a different combo to stall the timer, I think sparking gives A LOT of good interactions, moments and cool things to the table. Is it kinda braindead now? Yes, and pretty wack sometimes, but still kinda hype and not a lot of ppl is doing actual special into special combos from what I’m seeing.

Dbfz is just a mashy mess with meta only being fusions and a couple other characters for literal years is kinda wild

[@MulkeyBlueQuartet]

To be fair, there is great gameplay of dbdz out there, and most of the characters in the game are really well designed at this point (except Bardock and kid buu imo) and the main disparities are in how homogeneous the game used to be and is slowly creeping away from. If this game has the same philosophy as season one and 2, the meta would be much worse and playing other characters besides top tiers would be pointless. At least in this version, creating a team is more about your personal taste and not the power level of the characters in the patch.
