DBFZ is just sick as fuck.

I own SFV on PS4, so I know what lag truly is like. My only comparison was to the betas and how there was tons of downtime with servers pooping the bed, but yeah, I guess as someone who's played shit like GW2/FFXIV/Destiny at launch amongst others, I should know those type of server issues typically iron out.
I guess I'm just kind of jaded at release of games lately and expect them all to be hot garbage, really. That's more me being negative than anything. My b.
Yeah I got to play a bunch of matches earlier. Once this finally got running proper, I experienced next to no lag. Netcode is fantastic, game is fun as fuck. I doubt I'll play a ton right away, lots of time in practice mode gonna be needed.
Sucks that the beta was the same weekend as the Distant Worlds concert at Carnegie Hall in NYC lol. Didn't get a chance to play it, but how's Frieza holding up? From most of the streams I caught nobody really made use of his golden form.
From what I saw 99% of people were just using the starter team, didn't see any real tech from any other characters.
This game is just everything I needed in my life. The wait for the full release is gonna be unbearable.

Seems like the consensus from Pro players is that this is the easiest to play fighting game in existence (I mean, Dive Kick existed, but whatever). Which kinda seems to be the point, but I'll guess we'll see if zero execution barrier will have an effect on it's hype levels.
I won't lie that I'm a fan of the idea, I don't really have the time to invest in most fighting games these days (outside of Tekken, since the bulk of execution difficulty in that game has been committed to muscle memory for a decade+) so low execution barrier means easier to learn characters and jump into games.
I could do IAD in my sleep back in the day, but can’t seem to get to work in this game. What are stick users doing to land this consistently?
No ps4 so not in beta, but uf, f doesn't work like in gg?
My stick is PS3, so it wouldn't work during the beta. I was able to IAD with normal controller, using the normal GG input for it. Definitely harder on controller doing it for me, since I kind of just "flick" it with stick.
Came across a video regarding Majin Android 21 as a character:
That’s just dirty. This game has transcended.
Kid Buu is absolutely absurd with his rushdown, has a crazy good lockdown assist for corner mixup pressure, can level 3 off of a full screen hit effortlessly, has filthy hitboxes in the neutral game... Its like they played him Budokai Tenkaichi for 3 nights straight and thought to make him even goddamn better.
I love it.
Edit: Number 21 is gonna drop a lot of first nuts for little boys if she keeps using chocolate beam to turn people into fucking cupcakes. She's got the goddamn Tayoken as well? Savage.
She can absorb a character and take 1 random move from them and use it as her own.

Toriyama's design for Android 21's transformed state. It notes that she looks like a majin and fat Buu calls her "friend". She also turns people into food with her "Hungry Beam" and uses the techniques of absorbed opponents.
Interesting they went the majin route for an android and not replicate what Cell did.
