This game is quite fun. I might be able to get a picture of how my main and currently only character looks in it.

Proceed with more intricate conversation, folks, and I may join in.

Here's my Majin OC Cloenna. She's a melee-focused fighter with the highest stats being Max Stamina and Basic Attacks.

I play on the Steam version. If anyone wishes to battle or do Parallel Quests with me, look up midnightthegoob (display name: CXF | OptimistNic)

Dude, this game is the best.
I have a level 49 Saiyan, and have other character slots.
PQ?

I'm currently like Level 76 or 77 as of now and the almighty Goku is currently my mentor. : D

I got it on PS3, my 3 closest Skype friends got it on PS4, I don't have a PS4 though. :/

I'm not too far in, got a Level 20 female Saiyan, when I beat the game the first thing I'm making is a Frieza race.

Been playing this on PS4

Honestly if there wasn't a lot of lag on certain moves and Ultimates never had priority over EVERYTHING the combat would be so much better. Melee combos are too easy to avoid UNLESS you can manage to guard break and force Stamina recovery, but usually they have enough Stamina to snap teleport. I guess it's good that you can perform a turnaround attack mid-combo to read people teleporting behind you.
I also hate that when you input an attack when you are facing the opposite direction of your enemy, you go into a hella laggy turnaround animation. Ki blasts are laggy as hell to activate too but do hella hitstun.

I want them to buff the Super Saiyan transformations. The boost to damage is almost completely negligible. (SS1 gets 2% in physical damage and 1% in ki blast damage, SS2 gets 5 and 2 respectively, SV1 gives 1 and 3 and SV2 gives 2 and 5). Meanwhile Kaioken boosts by 10 for all and Kaioken x3 boosts by 15%, Kaioken x20 the same as x3 but infinite use of evasive skills and vanishes. I guess the damage reduction on Super Saiyan is nice and you get a movement boost and super/ultimate spam but still, a tiny boost on damage would be good.

Also apparently female Saiyans got the **** end of the stick and being someone that uses that most, I wish that were not the case.

Bought the game shortly after launch for Xbox One and I love it. I need to get back on playing the story and working on my avatar character. Really fun and one of the best DBZ games to come out in a long time IMO.

Been playing on my PS4 for a couple of weeks now, and I'm having a blast with it. It captures a good chunk of Dragonball Z perfectly and provides a gameplay system that allows for fun and proper gameplay that mimics the excitement that sears out of the anime and manga fights. The character roster is lacking, and the amount of RNG present is terribly disheartening, however. Trying to get the Time Crystal Shards to unlock the Bardock/Broly missions is probably the least fun I've had in a Dragon Ball game, unfortunately. Also, the incredible dominance that Saiyan characters have over every other race is impeccable. The lack of super-transformations for other races is the main root of it all.

 

[LunarWingCloud]

I dunno the only real thing other races are lacking is an ability to spam and if Old Kai ends up giving Potential Unleashed as an Ultimate it's possible that's going to be circumvented, and unlike other races, Saiyans have a pretty crap-tier passive ability, and male Saiyans suck damage-wise on anything that isn't their basic attacks. Meanwhile Namekians have insane stamina recovery and passive health regen, Earthlings have it the easiest with a passive ki regen and also gain ATK boost when at max on top of having the best averages for stats by far.

The only thing that Saiyans really have is the ability to spam but any good player can dodge around the ultimate, jump in and beat their face in and win through attrition since Saiyans are glass cannons.

For real though, Saiyans are not that good at all. XD
