Happy asf to see you on the game again. I think the quick match change will bring a ton of people back . Def check out orange piccolo too that guy is SICKKK
ngl i love the critism and shit u have to say ab the game. cuz me personally im in love with its current state and there aint much i would like to change, but the shit u offer is always both helpful and unbiased and the devs are clearly listening.
Glad you're back, Lotus. I really enjoy your Sparking Zero content! Your gameplay is pretty chill and entertaining at the same time, I also get impressed how you guys can give your thoughts like that while playing against someone. I haven't bought Sparking Zero yet, but I'll give my thoughts based on the videos of the game that I've watched and as a long time Budokai Tenkaichi 3 fan. *Patch and DLC* 4:18 The new patch is really good. Slowly but surely, they're adressing what people were asking to be change/added. The major changes that caught my attention were: - _Grand Slash:_ In Tenkaichi 3, you were never able to repeat a move and reset a combo while the opponent was staggered/recovering from that same move. If you tried, they would just fall and the combo would drop. From what I've seen, no other variations could do this in Sparking Zero, except for Grand Slash, which was weird to begin with. So that's a pretty good change. - _Perception/Super Perception:_ From a lot of videos, people really liked to spam this defensive mechanic and you could hardly punish it. In Tenkaichi 3, it would decrease ki based of how long you held the inputs, but you couldn't do it again that fast and there was enough time to punish it. But now they added a ki consumption for activating it and increased the time to perform the move again. This is going in a great direction, where players now will have to play more carefully and not just mindless spam it. 23:40 -_Super Counter:_ Landing this defensive move successfully in Tenkaichi 3 is a struggle, since it had less of a frame window and also a cooldown if you didn't land it. I think adding a cooldown if you fail to do it is much better than making the timing tigher, specially in a online game. At least this encourages players to not spam it during combos and to actually time it. From videos I've seen, it's still fairly easy to do it in vanish wars. The DLC is also very awesome. The models, the animations, the dialogues...everything! But they really need to add new maps (Red Ribbon Base, at least) and new costumes (Krillin and Android 18 for example) to these DLCs. I thought about them adding Goten and Trunks, however they'd have a real problem coming up with a moveset for them, since they barely fought in the movie. They should've change that punch from Cell Max to his lasers, maybe functioning like an explosion. The punch is very generic to me... *Point of Transforming* 12:1826:16 In the older game, many people say that you get boosts to your stats if you transform instead just selecting the transformed character from the start. I tested a few characters with a lot of transformations in Tenkaichi 3, like Baby Vegeta and Frieza, but the damage, speed and ki charging stay the same in both cases... (correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe this only applies to fusions. I don't know if that changed in Sparking Zero... But I can name a few benefits to start in base. Many transformations grant you full bars of ki. In Tenkaichi 3, this opened up a lot of ways to combo. For example, if you just wasted all your ki on finishing your combo with a blast, you can tranform, regain your ki and do another blast attack. Or you can preserve the ki you gained from the transformation and keep the pressure on the opponent since you won't need to be charging your ki. *Sonic Sway while defending or getting hit* 15:25 From what I've seen, you can get Sonic Sway if you are blocking or timing it correctly when they attack you. If you do Perception before the opponent attacks you, you just hit them away. I don't have a problem with it... If you see you're opponent blocking, don't keep punching, but quickly try to do a Rush Chain Action. But I do have a problem when they are able to do it while they are getting hit (not blocking). This was not possible in Tenkaichi 3... *Having fun playing the game and people stop playing the game* 18:47 It's alright if you need to take a break or just not touch the game again. Better do that than force yourself and not have fun. I always play some other games when Tenkaichi 3 gets infuriating. I think focusing on online/ranked can really take the fun out of it though. Try some Episode Battles, Custom Battles or playing with friends. Personally, I have more fun with offline modes, and now with people creating scenarios, there are many possibilities (good ones and bad ones lol, be careful which ones you play). From what I've seen from _AreCreeps_ , he has found some versions that were showcased of the game that had a lot of scratched mechanics that resemble more of what Tenkaichi 3 was and really emphasized movement. I think Sparking Zero was rushed to launch at the same time as Dragon Ball Daima, and because of that they couldn't polish it that well... The hype was real for this game, and a lot of people stopped playing after encountering many problems that came with it. I also appreciate the patches the team is doing, but I agree with you that it will be hard for everybody to come back to play it. *Z Burst Dash* 26:36 In Tenkaichi 3, the cost of Z Burst Dash was always 2 bars of ki, but since flying in the game was already fast and didn't consume ki, it was justifiable to cost that much (rarely people used it too) For Sparking Zero, to approach your enemy without consuming ki is too slow, and the player will probably zone you out with ki blasts. If you want to approach them quickly, you need to spend ki and when you get to them, you are at a disadvantage. The best option was to use Z Burst Dash, but since the patch, it's a lot riskier. Having Z Burst Dash 1 bar of ki would be better at a gameplay point of view (it became a lot more defensive and people just stand a each side of the map charging their ki now) But my guess is they did that for people to use High Speed Rush more ( Hold R2+X , no directional inputs) which was made faster in that other patch from December.
A Staple of Dragonball that looks cool and usually has the benefit of increasing your strength. Some games make them have different movesets as characters, most noted in this series which even gives you a HP bar for some characters. "gosh guys, I just dont understand why anyone would transform mid battle?" -Lotus. I love you man, but this gotta be one of your densest moments lol
Transformations only give you the hp bar you would have gotten if you started with it. There is no benefit to not starting transformed(nor should there be) other than wanting to watch the animation.
@@Anegornot true at all. First form frieza regens an entire bar of health on each transformation. Beast Gohan also gets full ki back instantly plus the health regen
Also for dp battles if you want a full team you have to transform mid match. If you choose beast Gohan transformed off rip it’s 10dp. Base form is only 4dp. So it’s a 4dp character that can transform into a 10dp character. That’s insane. You have no clue what you’re talking about😂
Start out in Ultimate Gohan that way when you transform you get full ki and can immediately go into a Rush or Beam Super. Example: Knock your opp high up in the air, boost your Rush, deal damage, Transform, then either rush or beam. Plus if you're in Sparking, you can chain the Rush back to back. OR chain the rush into your Ult.
Also, I start out in base myself personally. That Superman like intro plus the transformation cutscenes are straight 🔥🔥🔥. I'm even warming up to the new Piccolo.
At this point, im not entirely sure what more they could address with patches. Theres definitely a few things, like counter grabs being as free as sunlight, but at this point what major problems are still facing the game? What more can they do?
I'm not gonna lie I still think there's a ton more they could do. The game has improves significantly, but that doesn't mean we should settle. Things have gotten a lot better but I want to keep pushing them to make it the best possible version of itself and set a better standard for anime games because I want better for all of us. We deserve better. There's no reason the game couldn't have been in this state at release and other games should be AT LEAST this good moving forward. As for things they could still do? - Shouldn't be able to tech throws if you get grabbed during perception - Pausing the menu in training mode between matches should pause matchmaking - I honestly think they should revert the Z Burst Dash change cus I think that was a bad one. The extra ki cost was unnecessary and strengthened the lame/run away stall playstyle - Add Ki Sickness - More stages - Costumes for DLC characters The list goes on. Some minor, some more important, but I think they did a great job with the last two patches. I'd have to play more before I can really remember or acknowledge everything, but I do agree they hit on a lot of the most important things the game needed imo.
yyeeaaa that is kinda crazy, the purpose of sonic sway is when you can predict the timing of an attack and counter it. imagine if Goku never analyzed his opponent when he fights and never countered at all he be losing so much more. if anything it makes the most sense to sway when blocking cuz thats the most cannon way they've analyzed their opponent in a fight.
nice video man beast Gohan VA is amazing, you're right about doing what you like because it's either you farm one game and burnout or have fun doing content I think the latter is always better.
Only thing I think about the criticism is that even when they make improvements to the game there is always more that people will want changed. The reason I think no game is ever at its best is because now that they can update games the more and longer people play it it will be more that they will ask for to be added or changed. They wouldn’t know to make all these changes they have made before millions of people put hundreds of hours into the game in the first week let alone through the first 4 months . I love the game and have since the release but maybe my view is different because I’m still with less than 50 hours played but I consume a lot of content like your videos and others so I’m seeing things that are complaints but I have not experienced them myself. For example I don’t play ranked because I’m stuck at B5 I just can’t get out so the things people do or did in high ranks I just haven’t seen. This is long winded but overall I think the game is still fun and I think so many people burnt them self out trying to get to Z in the first week
I agree with the thing about sonic swaying while getting hit should be changed. If I've already landed some hits on you and you're staggering from that, why would it make sense that all of a sudden you "understand it now" and can just start weaving my shit? The blocking one does seem annoying, but at least it makes more sense because you're at least guarding against the hits, so you see them coming and can now see a pattern enough that you can go from guarding to outright dodging and counterattacking. I've lost track of the times I get a hit or two off on a friend then he just gets to weave my shit, but the same won't happen for me
When it comes to transforming I think your stats increase upon transformation but there are also certain perks like Ultimate Gohan SH has a warp skill that you can land then transform into Beast Gohan get full ki and use the Beast Kick to rack up damage and gain a health bar so there is some strategy depending on the character
from watching content creators I always see them say that being negative even if it's criticism is not good for algorithm it makes people don't wanna watch or something compared to being positive. like I remember a content creator on shorts and TikTok who answers questions about like America since hes an immigrant there it's mostly positive content like how good life there compared to 3rd world, one of the questions was why he doesn't encounter the crazy dangerous stuff we see about US his answer was that he does encounter these things he just doesn't make shorts/TikTok's about it because less people return to watch someone complaining idk if it's true idm watching you just talk about anime or games or manga, I guess it's people who would only watch you play specific games they dont wanna hear you criticize the thing they are excited about
I think the problem with people seeing your criticism as overly negative was simply due to the time it was happening at the game just came out everyone was heavy on the no balancing train without really understanding what that meant and then there was that terrible sparking zero review that came out a bit before the game did I think it fostered an environment where people didn’t want to criticize the game but it was something that was necessary for the game’s survival and someone had to be the one to start that conversation unfortunately that also meant getting a lot of ire and i think some of that resentment still lives in people despite the fact that the game is all the better for the changes that were made
In my opinion u should be able to get sonic sways while blocking cus when your enemy is attacking while blocking there’s times when ur just stuck there to the point where if they attack you again you gonna get hit 😭,that sonic sway allows u to get them away from you.
It's wild that people can love a thing so much that they can't see the flaws in it. I like some stuff that is ass ... but I know it's ass.. like Black Widow in Rivals 😂
personally I feel like a lot of people who hate on you for “complaining or having gripes” is 1 most people were abusing the mechs that made the game broken and 2 people who enjoy the game face value with all the negative and positive still enjoy the game for what it is and keep their negative opinions to themselves so seeing a content creator have so many opinions seems like whining to them
He would have the extra bar if he started in beast to begin with. All he did was waste skill counters. Transforming mid fight offers nothing In single battle. Just looks cool.
@ well I know that but I was thinking about the benefits of it being dp battle(edit) I know he’s running singles but he asked about the benefits and that’s the benefit
One thing that should still be changed is vanish wars not being up to who has the most ki. If you timed it correctly with 0 ki in BT3, the vanish still happens but with no attack afterwards. Every character in the game should also do a bit less damage so one time with priority and an ult isn’t just an instant W and super counters should be even harder. Think it should be one frame less. Make them just as common as someone doing an electric in tekken😂
I dont know if "pausing while matchmaking" is a thing. Most online Multip games have it to where when you're queued up you're waiting to join a match. If you have to "pause" it to take care of certain scenarios. It's probably best to just un ready then, if you're complaint is "the put you into matches too quickly"
Complaining about getting into matches too quickly would be extremely stupid lol. I really wish you guys didn't throw that word around so loosely. That's not even close to what I was trying to say. Also every game that I PERSONALLY play has a pause feature for queue.
7:15 I really want to know how these peoples' brains work. How does saying you don't like something or just overall giving criticism automatically mean you're "whining and complaining". I swear you're the only youtuber I hear about this happening to.
I mean I would say it becomes, for a lack of a better term, "whining" when the criticism outnumbers the praise. That's just how I look at it. Edit: Oh also tone. I've seen this said about Lotus since the early DBFZ days, but the way he voices he criticisms is what a lot of people perceive as harsh, so it makes it seem more like hate then normal
I truly think that they are pushing the limits of the purpose of dlc. What i mean by that is I feel like this whole dlc pack should have been in the game to begin with but instead they charge you 70 dollars for the game and then turn around 3 months later and charge you like 23 or 24 dollars including tax for 11 new characters which there is multiple of the same characters like piccolo and dragon ball daima should be the first dlc honestly but no its a whole new dlc on top of this one so with the game and this dlc we stand at like 95 dollars and then the daima dlc will prolly be another 20 or more so thats 115 dollars like thats a hell of a lot of money they are just milking us for our money and giving us less quality games over all and fixing them as they put out dlc and what not just so they can make more money and do less work over all its getting to be to damn mych
These updates should have been at launch honestly cuzz really when I grinded to Z rank it was prob the most miserable experience ever just like the seereax I’m never touching rank ever again even if the game does improve more
12:55 you been gone for a while while huh😭just about everyone can double super from the sparking state Edit: also (donno if you noticed) your opponent usually has more ki than you because you’re burst dashing to them. That takes a much larger chunk of ki now
I dont consider it complaining unless a person is complaining about ridiculous things. I think the one disappointment about the current game is no new maps and them with the audacity to bring 1 costume to the game lol
Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Christ When they were promoting sparking zero they said there was going to be three types of characters, power and speed. Beast Gohan is a speed type character so find a character whose balance who can counter him.
Thats brazy man lol. But yeah I feel though you speak constructive on the game. Bc its one thing to overly hate and overly love. Theres always a middle. like the content.
Regardless of whether or not I personally agree with your criticism- of this or any other game- I still think that your thoughts are almost always well thought out and usually made in good faith. Which is more than I can say for some of the fuckin' haters in the comments.
Don’t listen to the haters. Your criticism has helped the game become better. Please help the Devs see this because they do listen. In singles, give every character 4 bars of health like fusion. (Edit: 1 initially said 3 bars like base Goku, but 4 would be better considering the damage some characters do in one ultimate). In DP, give characters health based on their DP: 1-2 DP characters get two bars of health (think videl) 3-4 DP characters get two and a half bars health (think Krillian) 5-6 get 3 bars of health (think base goku) 7-8 DP get 3 and a half bars 9-10 get the full 4 bars. Also, remove health increases for transformation (you can keep the ki increase where applicable). This would incentivize choosing pre-transformed characters and fusioning mid match. For example, there is little reason to pick SS3 goku over base goku; this mechanic would give you a reason. Conversely, there would be a risk to picking a low DP base Gohan with the intent to transform into a high DP because you don't get health back. Character are already unbalanced in Stats. There is no reason for the current arbitrary health system (why does Nappa have higher health that SS4 Goku?) Stats are tied to DP value, I believe. Each level of DP has a max total stat points that's divided among the categories. So simply adjusting a "defense stat" would in turn increase another stat or change that characters DP value. Health, however, seems independent of DP stat (eg. Recoome vs Krillian vs Kid Gohan). Therefore, health would be much easier to adjust per character. It would not require an entire rework of the Stats or DP value. Also, this would make those low DP characters less of a problem because they have lower health. Recoome and Roshi with 2 and a half bars of health wouldn't be as much of an issue as they are now. Maybe the meta won't change, but it would be much more manageable and encourage more diversity. TLDR; In singles, character should have the same amount of health. In DP, characters should have health value tied to their DP value.
Happy asf to see you on the game again. I think the quick match change will bring a ton of people back . Def check out orange piccolo too that guy is SICKKK
The benefit to transforming is that it's awesome
Exactly
Full ki too
Fair enough!
@@LotusAsakurau also get some health back and a full ki
ngl i love the critism and shit u have to say ab the game. cuz me personally im in love with its current state and there aint much i would like to change, but the shit u offer is always both helpful and unbiased and the devs are clearly listening.
I usually like transforming mid battle because it looks so good lmao
The matches were you get so into the battle you forget to transform>>>😂😂

I thought about them adding Goten and Trunks, however they'd have a real problem coming up with a moveset for them, since they barely fought in the movie.

15:25 From what I've seen, you can get Sonic Sway if you are blocking or timing it correctly when they attack you. If you do Perception before the opponent attacks you, you just hit them away. I don't have a problem with it... If you see you're opponent blocking, don't keep punching, but quickly try to do a Rush Chain Action.
But I do have a problem when they are able to do it while they are getting hit (not blocking). This was not possible in Tenkaichi 3...

Yea there is no reason to start untransformed in single battle nor should there be

Bro, your enemy tranforms midmatch because it's fun! There's a lot of us that play this as a DB simulator first and foremost.
@17:12 that's exactly how I feel about Gaypex Legends lol.
nice video man beast Gohan VA is amazing, you're right about doing what you like because it's either you farm one game and burnout or have fun doing content I think the latter is always better.
Only thing I think about the criticism is that even when they make improvements to the game there is always more that people will want changed.

They wouldn’t know to make all these changes they have made before millions of people put hundreds of hours into the game in the first week let alone through the first 4 months . I love the game and have since the release but maybe my view is different because I’m still with less than 50 hours played but I consume a lot of content like your videos and others so I’m seeing things that are complaints but I have not experienced them myself. For example I don’t play ranked because I’m stuck at B5 I just can’t get out so the things people do or did in high ranks I just haven’t seen. This is long winded but overall I think the game is still fun and I think so many people burnt them self out trying to get to Z in the first week

I definitely think there’s a stat increase
i’ve been waiting for this let’s go
Transforming into beast gives full Ki
from watching content creators I always see them say that being negative even if it's criticism is not good for algorithm it makes people don't wanna watch or something compared to being positive.
like I remember a content creator on shorts and TikTok who answers questions about like America since hes an immigrant there it's mostly positive content like how good life there compared to 3rd world, one of the questions was why he doesn't encounter the crazy dangerous stuff we see about US his answer was that he does encounter these things he just doesn't make shorts/TikTok's about it because less people return to watch someone complaining
idk if it's true idm watching you just talk about anime or games or manga, I guess it's people who would only watch you play specific games they dont wanna hear you criticize the thing they are excited about
Good games bro definitely want some more games from you I like watching it
I think the problem with people seeing your criticism as overly negative was simply due to the time it was happening at the game just came out everyone was heavy on the no balancing train without really understanding what that meant and then there was that terrible sparking zero review that came out a bit before the game did
I think it fostered an environment where people didn’t want to criticize the game but it was something that was necessary for the game’s survival and someone had to be the one to start that conversation unfortunately that also meant getting a lot of ire and i think some of that resentment still lives in people despite the fact that the game is all the better for the changes that were made
In my opinion u should be able to get sonic sways while blocking cus when your enemy is attacking while blocking there’s times when ur just stuck there to the point where if they attack you again you gonna get hit 😭,that sonic sway allows u to get them away from you.
Man it's nice not seeing Lotus crash out on the perception spamming bs you'd see before the patch
7:30 the fact you can "vent" while beating this 🥷🏽is crazy😂😂😂you got back into the game real quick
Hello
Good Video Bro
Transforming into beast restores your health and gives you full ki. That’s why people choose base
It's wild that people can love a thing so much that they can't see the flaws in it. I like some stuff that is ass ... but I know it's ass.. like Black Widow in Rivals 😂
"FIRST DUBSKI ON DA BOARD" new fav
Lotus always has some of the most fye thumbnails whenever I checkout a video 🔥🔥🔥
I do my best
personally I feel like a lot of people who hate on you for “complaining or having gripes” is 1 most people were abusing the mechs that made the game broken and 2 people who enjoy the game face value with all the negative and positive still enjoy the game for what it is and keep their negative opinions to themselves so seeing a content creator have so many opinions seems like whining to them
Damn he got like a bar of health back tho honestly 12:20
He would have the extra bar if he started in beast to begin with. All he did was waste skill counters. Transforming mid fight offers nothing In single battle. Just looks cool.
@ well I know that but I was thinking about the benefits of it being dp battle(edit) I know he’s running singles but he asked about the benefits and that’s the benefit
It also regen whole ki bar so you can chain 2 specials@@Anegor
Hopefully you continue to play if you feel up to it 😊
Also Beast Gohan can do his rush super (if you don’t boost it) then the ultimate to follow up
One thing that should still be changed is vanish wars not being up to who has the most ki. If you timed it correctly with 0 ki in BT3, the vanish still happens but with no attack afterwards. Every character in the game should also do a bit less damage so one time with priority and an ult isn’t just an instant W and super counters should be even harder. Think it should be one frame less. Make them just as common as someone doing an electric in tekken😂
big fan broski
I dont know if "pausing while matchmaking" is a thing. Most online Multip games have it to where when you're queued up you're waiting to join a match. If you have to "pause" it to take care of certain scenarios. It's probably best to just un ready then, if you're complaint is "the put you into matches too quickly"
Complaining about getting into matches too quickly would be extremely stupid lol. I really wish you guys didn't throw that word around so loosely. That's not even close to what I was trying to say. Also every game that I PERSONALLY play has a pause feature for queue.
Yo Lotus, have you seen stuff for the FLCL Reanimated project?
I love just using base gohan and slowly transforming until i reach beast
Alright lets see what the rant runtime is with this game 😂
Bruh they need to make an arcade mode like they did in BT3
Didn’t know I liked this guy cause he never post gameplay. lol. Sick bid
Yo lotus can you please stream on TH-cam again please 🙏🏾 😅😭
I will!
7:15 I really want to know how these peoples' brains work. How does saying you don't like something or just overall giving criticism automatically mean you're "whining and complaining". I swear you're the only youtuber I hear about this happening to.
Its most communities at this point and quite sad to see
I mean I would say it becomes, for a lack of a better term, "whining" when the criticism outnumbers the praise. That's just how I look at it.
Edit: Oh also tone. I've seen this said about Lotus since the early DBFZ days, but the way he voices he criticisms is what a lot of people perceive as harsh, so it makes it seem more like hate then normal
I truly think that they are pushing the limits of the purpose of dlc. What i mean by that is I feel like this whole dlc pack should have been in the game to begin with but instead they charge you 70 dollars for the game and then turn around 3 months later and charge you like 23 or 24 dollars including tax for 11 new characters which there is multiple of the same characters like piccolo and dragon ball daima should be the first dlc honestly but no its a whole new dlc on top of this one so with the game and this dlc we stand at like 95 dollars and then the daima dlc will prolly be another 20 or more so thats 115 dollars like thats a hell of a lot of money they are just milking us for our money and giving us less quality games over all and fixing them as they put out dlc and what not just so they can make more money and do less work over all its getting to be to damn mych
These updates should have been at launch honestly cuzz really when I grinded to Z rank it was prob the most miserable experience ever just like the seereax I’m never touching rank ever again even if the game does improve more
12:55 you been gone for a while while huh😭just about everyone can double super from the sparking state
Edit: also (donno if you noticed) your opponent usually has more ki than you because you’re burst dashing to them. That takes a much larger chunk of ki now
How does recovery work in this game? The more hits or more damage taken = faster recovery? Is it a timing thing? Last hit dependent?
Anyone know the song that’s playing in the background during matches?
Yo lotus great vid love the content.
Would love to see you try out dragonball fusion world digital
I actually did try it out when it release, but I never made content on it. The game just didn't stick for me. I appreciate the support though!
most ppl just wanna see u play the game, majority dont care what u have to say about it and its pretty sad but real.
About time!!!!
I dont consider it complaining unless a person is complaining about ridiculous things. I think the one disappointment about the current game is no new maps and them with the audacity to bring 1 costume to the game lol
Jesus Jesus Jesus
Jesus Christ
When they were promoting sparking zero they said there was going to be three types of characters, power and speed. Beast Gohan is a speed type character so find a character whose balance who can counter him.
Thats brazy man lol. But yeah I feel though you speak constructive on the game. Bc its one thing to overly hate and overly love. Theres always a middle. like the content.
Boosting the video
Regardless of whether or not I personally agree with your criticism- of this or any other game- I still think that your thoughts are almost always well thought out and usually made in good faith.
Which is more than I can say for some of the fuckin' haters in the comments.
ay I really appreciate that lol
😈 !!!
Blast volley moves are still ass. No pausing queue. But I do agree that the game is in a better place
Peakkkkkk🎉❤
🤣🤣🤣
I can’t get into this game till they add true combos and make super counter cost like a bar and a half of ki. I’m tired of the constant combo escapes.
imma keep it a buck this game made me hate this character
Don’t listen to the haters. Your criticism has helped the game become better. Please help the Devs see this because they do listen.
In singles, give every character 4 bars of health like fusion. (Edit: 1 initially said 3 bars like base Goku, but 4 would be better considering the damage some characters do in one ultimate).
In DP, give characters health based on their DP:
1-2 DP characters get two bars of health (think videl)
3-4 DP characters get two and a half bars health (think Krillian)
5-6 get 3 bars of health (think base goku)
7-8 DP get 3 and a half bars
9-10 get the full 4 bars.
Also, remove health increases for transformation (you can keep the ki increase where applicable).
This would incentivize choosing pre-transformed characters and fusioning mid match. For example, there is little reason to pick SS3 goku over base goku; this mechanic would give you a reason.
Conversely, there would be a risk to picking a low DP base Gohan with the intent to transform into a high DP because you don't get health back.
Character are already unbalanced in Stats. There is no reason for the current arbitrary health system (why does Nappa have higher health that SS4 Goku?) Stats are tied to DP value, I believe. Each level of DP has a max total stat points that's divided among the categories. So simply adjusting a
"defense stat" would in turn increase another stat or change that characters DP value. Health, however, seems independent of DP stat (eg. Recoome vs Krillian vs Kid Gohan). Therefore, health would be much easier to adjust per character. It would not require an entire rework of the Stats or DP value.
Also, this would make those low DP characters less of a problem because they have lower health. Recoome and Roshi with 2 and a half bars of health wouldn't be as much of an issue as they are now. Maybe the meta won't change, but it would be much more manageable and encourage more diversity.
TLDR; In singles, character should have the same amount of health. In DP, characters should have health value tied to their DP value.
Yea you lost me at remove health increases for transformations, didn't even bother reading the rest of it
Nah, I've seen 5 of them do far. And I've wooped all of them. Not impressed.
First
nope it was me bud
