Most likely reason as to why nobody uses it is because Afterimage is usually never in the hands of a player with braincells. The majority of people who used AIS in the beginning (& still even now) use it as a way to make the game play itself for them while they're mashing. Afterimage Strike is suppose to be used strategically; if you get into a position where you've made a misinput or been outplayed, AIS can save you in those situations. You're not suppose to just charge in & mash like most people do, making the most use of Afterimage is by trying to do high-risk-for-high-reward plays or at least still playing a modicum of defense so that by the time AIS is gone you still have enough ki & a good position to continue the fight at a good pace. I'm a Super Vegetto fan regardless. I wish they would've kept his leg fighting style from Tenkaichi 3 but I digress. Nice gameplay. EDIT: I forgot to mention that Super Vegetto has always been strong (comp wise he's weaker now especially since he has 2 beam Supers rather than a target or linear rush), everyone having dropped him since AIS got patched is just proof that every single person who used him only used him for AIS. lmao. I haven't used him during my streams yet because nobody has requested him but you & I do represent that small percentage of players who still use him.
Yeah a lot of people didn’t give much thought how to actually play Super Vegito. And you can tell they all played him because it was really easy to abuse afterimage strike without punishment. I said that before, I asked where all the fans were after the patch 😭😭 he’s still a good character!!
While I agree people got carried by the skill and never actually got good with Vegito, it had zero risks before. Now the risk is losing 3 skill points in one go, which I’m fine with… I won’t be mad if a GOOD Vegito player gets me
It just irks me bro, mfs holding O for their life and they genuinely think they’re good at the game. Like no shit it’s gonna get me considering it’s ALL they do… while I have hope they have some brain cells and change their Strat but they don’t
I realized this after your last video on Super Vegito, and I saw how toxic this could become in the hands of a skilled player. I haven’t used OP characters or AIS much in this game, myself, but this strategy proves that he was only the most used meta character pre-patch because all the no skill players were relying on AIS without using their brains in the slightest.
Yeah, people only used him because there was no punishment for using it badly, now that it’s not so simple, all the “fans” left him out to dry Just like all the Broly “fans” abandoned him too 🤣🤣🤣
Well, it is a good use of the AIS, but the UI Goku could have performed a lot better if he used block/super perception to counter the rolling hammer and the sweep, but he was just blindly spamming super counters. 1 use of the AIS is not enough to kill the opponent, and if he adapts to the playstyle he won't be caught into every attempt of getting his back, so this means he can use his own skills (insta sparking) to output some damage of his own too because he won't get killed by 1 use of AIS. This dude was not only defending poorly against it, but he was also doing very bad on offense as well. When he got his insta sparking off he was blindly trying to lock you in the deflect animation to combo his rush but he does not even notice you are blocking instead of deflecting (props to you). Not a very good player at all, this shows he does not adapt, he just blindly try cheeses. Also props to you for mastering vanishing the teleport rush, it made him seem even more helpless, he could not do anything to stop you.
@@ChristianSedaTalks Well, to play at a high level you have to know at least how the most popular characters work, understanding him and how to play him doesn't mean I main him.
Nah this is OP affff. I reckon Bandai will make it so you can successfully super counter AIS to get super Vegito off of you. Keep up the great content though bro
Vegito is the goat for real I main him from base form and a lot of times I don’t transform and people are scared to rematch which is annoying. Even if they give a good match but you made them work for it they rather decline a set
That’s crazy somebody was doing this on me last night….it’s only truly effective if you don’t vanish the leg sweep or they go for the sweep from behind cuz a low block makes Vegito punishable then you can get defensive against AIS or try and catch a perception on them. It’s definitely a strong strat and it’s even shot pre or post patch matter this is simply the way AIS is designed in this game and if you don’t super counter they basically got free rush chain into step smash attack into another rush chains…. But basically don’t let Vegito get behind you with skill points for AIS lol
The thing is there are many ways to set up the afterimage strike, this video was mainly showing the way to avoid perception being used against it, so that you can just use it freely. I use other ways to activate it in this video and my last Super Vegito video. I don’t think a lot of people will switch to Super Vegito, because it takes more thinking to use it effectively
@ Yea it’s looking like more of a offensive way to use AIS instead of being defensive with it, you make somebody have to super counter you basically got them in a loop till the 10 seconds over
Im the kind of guy who avoids using OP caracters at first, I try to use a regular caracter to see if people wants to use their favorite caracter instead of the most OP
Ngl after watching your last video I picked up SV and this boy carried me from S5 all the way to Z in an evening. Evidently SV with AIS is still extremely busted if you know what you’re doing (like you show in the video), but I think the devs knew this all along which is why they made AIS last only 10 seconds and cancellable via perception (the funny part is that the community thought SV was dead because of this LOL). The AIS patch just makes it so that you actually have to use your brain and maneuver to properly utilize it. Super Vegito is the GOAT 🐐 Also love your content man keep up the great work!
Ayyy that’s good to hear, good stuff!! 🙌🙌🙌 and yeah he is still really good, imagine if it was still 15 seconds 😭😭😭 Yeah well I imagine most people still wouldn’t play him because they’d still rather just use MUI Goku And I appreciate that 🙌🙌🙌 I will
This is something Vegito would do LOL Very evil, especially because AIS is on 2 other decent characters and can be an OK tool for Krillin and Videl. It seems you might have cracked how AIS works.
I fought someone yesterday who would save all his skill points and wait to get behind me and it was basically game over LMAO that skill is busted when you take their back
I’m kind of curious about the recovery of explosive wave, because I imagine afterimage strike will just vanish the explosive wave, so then if the person is still recovering from explosive wave, can I continue my combo? 🤔
BTW be carefull when using Super Counter in knockback chains. It resets it so if you don’t get it early just let them have or try to vanish. If not they can go forever until you have KI advantage.
It's what always happens in any game There is something broken, people abuse it all the time, it gets slightly nerfed and isn't anymore the broken thing it was in the past but still pretty good, people stop using saying that now is completely trash I suppose that is because the people that abused it didn't had hands to play, and when it got nerfed they started to need Hans and brain, so everyone started to repeat that it was trash, and we all know that when all the people say something it has to be true 🤦
@@itskarma7499 tried it and I completely agree. Super vegito is going to return to rank very soon. With 6 stocks of skill points your 4 bar health character is cooked
Honestly for 3 Skill points and 10s. It’s balanced in my opinion There are so many thing you can do to prevent it so if He pulls it off just let him have it.
@@TyroneM30 I used to think we got locked in as well, but it’s actually not the case. They made the second vanish timing really tight, and then the ones after that are a lot easier again It’s weird, I went into training mode and figured it out
Idk what you think you showing, but its only working cause they mashing. Perception can end AIS, if you claim to be so nice that in your hands its cheese then relax n just have fun playing the game n stop looking for cheese. Its why SZ content is lowkey dying cause its all yall doing.

I'll make my reply brief so you don't have to read for too long. Sparking Zero content isn't dying because of people like me (the people who actually try to show a variety of characters in a cool and effective way) It's how unbalanced the game is to the point that everyone literally picks one or two characters out of the whole roster, so content creators can't make good content if they just lose to these few overpowered characters all the time
Infinite backshots technique: Afterimage Strike
Sounds like something kakashi would say
Most likely reason as to why nobody uses it is because Afterimage is usually never in the hands of a player with braincells.
