Me: New player, beats story mode, Me: Goes online, ok maybe I'll try one casual match :D Me: Gets hit into an unlimited combo, losses horribly welp ok time to go offline
This was literally me, I did the tutorials and some combo training and when I hit my opponent few times who has like 700+ ranked wins I thought I can do this only to get assblasted by unlimited combo chains which then made me go play Jump Force 🤣🤣🤣
Same smh the same exact thing happened to me. Not only that, I was blocking the entire combo set yet some way either because of network connection (Xbox one) or the lag. I automatically was hit although I holding the block button, I even dodged the overhead and the leg sweep. Yet that one hit turned into a endless combo. Like yeah I had to go play tekken 7 after that, because I was won against the person already. Yet when we did the rematch I was getting obliterated without even taking out one of their characters.
That's me, I gotta start using these tips, playing with thought, and actual strategy instead of panicking, or using one move to much is what I need to work on, glad he made this video! 🙂
Hearing your button taps is wonderful. I can hear how clean your execution is, and its helpful for combo timing. You're so precise, its almost musical. Ignore everyone telling you its annoying or to change a thing. Its good to hear how deliberate your combos are. Audio cues are just as important as muscle memory. People take their ears for granted.
Another notice for any people who do make these mistakes, is to practice each of these corrections one at a time. Clogging your mind with everything at once will slow your gameplay down and make you play worse. If you're bad at using your assists, and you always forget to dragon rush, just use one first, and once that becomes natural the other will also follow.
GreenTeaCake good advice! I like to make List in my head with things I need to improve on and think about what skills may rely on each other. Then I set myself ingame goals like "Punish super dash" and maybe another thing like "block low by default and try to look for overheads". When I manage to 2H one or more super dashes and notice or even block an overhead I consider that game a win for myself, even if I loose it eventually.
Very good point. I'm a noob at fighting games and just got this recently. Watching these tutorials and tips get kind of overwhelming for a noob like me so it's better to just take it one step at a time.
i have a friend that i play this with semi-frequently, and he always rages when i take advantage of these very mistakes. I'm gonna send it to him and hope he starts adapting lol.
Radic The Hedgehog It's alright, we've all been there. Just learn the motion, practice it for a while, and it'll become second nature when you go to do the move in a real match.
Great Video! Very clear explanations of the biggest mistakes that definitely cost new players to lose. & Done so in manner that is not condescending but instead in a way that inspires improvement. Amazing. I for one want players who genuinely enjoy this game to get better at it so maybe they'll pick up some other fighters I play, there's a lot of good ones out there!
General Minded James It angers me when I go on a losing streak but speaking from experience, it helps to watch your match replays and analyze yourself and see what you did/didn’t do and attempt to improve from that. Usually after a few times losing I pick my game up and win
Just wanted to say that today I went online for the second time, went to ranked matchs and I did kept in mind everything you said in this video, and I won all my fights so far. I know it's because I'm going against another new players as well, but honestly, everything you said helped me become a better player (and I can see the difference between how I played the first time and now), so thanks for this!
A thorough video, all in all! One thing I would add to the sparking section is how it can be utilized to continue your combo. Do some sort of combo and before the heavy lands, sparkling blast 'em and they'll be put in a bounce frame allowing you to follow up with a few more hits or even a super/ult! Enjoy your endless training Z-Fighters!
Peoples like myself have been playing fighting games for decades now. Trust me learn some patience, as the old saying goes; "Rome Wasn't built In A Day" it takes ages to level up if you're being serious. Don't expect 1 month to make you suddenly an "elite tournament level" player. Learn from failures and keep on improving. Have somebody like a; friend help you develop by being your partner Vs opponent whenever you play on console. Spend many hours in training mode i.e. lab work and suss out; hitboxes, ranges of normal moves of your characters, special moves of various characters, work on various teams etc etc. Take your time man and you'll develop i'm pretty sure. Anyways wish you all the best man, laters!
I'm starting this game two years later and this vid is still super helpful. I'll take these basics to the training room and work on improving them. Thank you for the effort you put into your content!
I don't play this game nearly enough to win a match but greatly appreciate your insight! This is a channel worth following even for the most casual fans of Dragon Ball Fighter Z.
even then, you shouldn't use them unless you're guaranteed to kill or it's the last character since they can just be switched out and you'll have lost 3 bars
Your points are spot on. I've been playing through story mode on hard lately (currently half way through arc 3) and it has taught me all the things you have mentioned. Managing your blue life and you opponent, maximising the use of sparking, carefully spending your meter and blocking. With the limited character and HP difference you face in haard mode, without these you won't be able to beat it. if your at this level I strongly recommend playing through the campaign on hard.
Your videos are so helpful.. I picked up the game a few months back and tbh played online once and got murked with out even getting in any hits.. I watched some vids did a bunch of regular and combo practice. In between there i was constantly playing arcade in normal.. now I can get S through most of the normal matches along with actually having lots of fun playing the hard courses.. I'm still learning alot I still don't even have the full confidence to go play online.. so far my best team I play with is starter is Gohan teen , then Goku GT and Gotenks. I feel playing with all the small FighterZ makes it a little harder for the opponent to land hits plus they move way faster. Thanks for your videos please keep them coming.. someone should be smart and start charging for online practice training.. lol I mean ppl pay money to just watch ppl play on twitch why not pay to actually learn how to fight like a badass..
Perhaps the most quality/realistic video for beginners. Most other one's I've seen just say "get better with combos". Sure, that with help, but you're actually teaching fundamentals of the game here. Without this type of knowledge you're never going to get the frame-perfect combos that people keep trying to say are for beginners.
The last one was super helpful, I’m no pro player at all but even after playing the game since release I’ll get excited and press buttons when getting beat up. Didn’t even occur to me to just block. Thanks!
My #1 mistake is not blocking enough/reacting and blocking too late. Its insane how much stuff you can escape out of when you actually start blocking. After watching pro league matches and jmcrofts, I just realized how much they block everything.
Hey, great videos man! Still waiting until you examine mid and high level metas and predicting block strings and when 50/50s are important to detect in corner pressure and calling out techs and how to find competency in advanced stages. Your approach and voicing is great! Since I can't play much currently as a competitor I'm just trying to dig deeper with my viewing ;)
this video is great man thank you. veterans to fighters might think all of this is common sense but to someone like me who hasn't played a fighter since mkx came out it's a perfect tutorial
Me: *dashes into my enemy and backs up when he gets ready to attack* My opponent 2 seconds after the fight: *a player has added a message to one of your groups* - TIMID!
I've become a better fighter from you're videos. I really appreciate what your content contains and over all I enjoy what you put out. Keep up the amazing work mate!
Today i got in a epic winning streak and i ascended from saiyan to supersaiyan and also got a orange square,and then you upload a video...what a beatiful day
Absolute Zero How does that even work? I’m a dark green Namekian but it happened while my brother was playing casual. I thought it was only for ranked matches. What exactly is the process in ranking up? Also add me on PS4: gxdslump
Ricó To get to the next rank e.g Dark Green to Green you have to get 10 wins against a person with the same colour as you so if I was green and I beat someone that was green 10 times I move up but if you lose a game you get set back one , you don't have to get 10 wins in a row just as long as you get 10 at any time you move up.
Ricó Yeah I heard it's anything online , which is kinda dumb since I play casual just to chill out try some new characters and have fun not worrying about messing my rank up or whatever.
Number 7 especially is a good tip I can't tell you how many times I watch people play games and listen to them complain the character is responding wrong as they're actively mashing buttons trying to get the game controls to "work faster" lol
I'm one of those new guys to fighting games like you were talking about and your tips are freally helpful. I just hope I can have the muscle memory to pull of the tips you gave. I find when the game gets hecktic and I'm on the wrong side of a beat down I lose all sense of what I should be doing. I tend to forget just what the combos are and I end up resorting to button mashing in the hopes of regaining some control before the match snowballs into a loss.
Tip 7 Bro is clutch..... playing the arcade this morning and I'm like man why won't my reflect work? So I have to block first before I can deflect/reflect, done!
Jake Bishop yup! I knew that but I would pop up or recover while spamming back and ki blast and when I did that i was still taking damage. But it looks like I need to block first before I can deflect
OK I learned so much form just one video thank you a lot I will sure try it next time I battle. Keep doing videos like this cause I know there is a lot more to learn than just this. 👍🏻
best beginner tutorial so far. all the other tutorials start with learning "bread and butter combos" and other shit like that while im not even properly using all the mechanics. this video helped so much. ehen you said dont mash buttens when getting up it blew my fucking mind even tho its the most basic stuff ever.
Air extensions are so easy and amazing to learn, and I felt awesome after picking them up. It really doesn't take much effort. Just press jump right after your light.
Been absolutely livid as of late, wondering why I'm so shit at dbfz. Not a fighting games vet by any means, but I took interest in dbfz because I played marvel vs Capcom a lot when I was younger, and saw the similarities. This video pointed out a few things that will help me a TON. Subbed.
Excellent video explaining the mechanics and giving good instruction. The buttons on screen definitely help visually represent what you are talking about and these seem like very great tips. I really wish I enjoyed fighting games. The animations are beautiful, the models are top notch, there was so much time, effort and love put into the mechanics to make them enjoyable for people who really sink their teeth into these kinds of games. I wish I had the interest to get better and play smarter so I could enjoy them more. I just don't have that competitive nature in me when it comes to fighters, unfortunately for me.
Bro thanks so much for these tip vids unfortunately I lost my PS4 to the pawn shop when I got sick so I've only been able to play fighterz at friends but I've seen the game tourneys and knew there was so much I was missing and without the means to just grind out and learn myself these vids help me recognize what to watch for and improve so I can demolish my friends
Damn, you pointed out a mistake I'm guilty of so thanks for the tips! It's hard to learn from mistakes if you don't know your making them! Very well executed video!
Addressing the hittimg buttons on wake up...I'd really like to see frame data cross the board. Similar to FAT for sfv. Some buttons challenge your opponent if he doesn't know true meaties. I'm still learning here myself with arc sys, and you're helping. Thanks again!
Another handy tip is if you use use transport when using spark.. if you hold the buttons your character wont instantly hit.. allowing you to start a combo.. it only works when sparking though. So you can get behind them and do a special or a combo without hitting them first allowing them to turn around.
Also if you want to get in without Super Dash, you can press forward and Super Dash on the ground and press down back, its akin to a mini wave dash and allows you to bait situations that might get you killed.
6:04 Thank You! 🙏 I was getting brutally murdered 🙌 because I couldn’t figure out how to get out of their combo chain. I was frantically button smashing to try and find a killer instinct combo breaker 🤣
My good sir I must thank you I just got this game a few days ago and I’ve made about most of these mistakes I will try my best to fix these to become a better player. 😁
My issue with managing meter is that if youre playing against someone whose pressure is insane, you almost have to teleport and use one bar and do it frequently.
I think the problem that people have with doing the grab is that they know they need to do the grab to stop their defense, but they're too scared to stop doing pressure long enough to press it via fear of the other player just so happening to hit them during that pause (since you have to wait for such a long time after a combo to press the grab button without it just doing the next hit in a combo.)
It doesn’t help that you literally have no way to combo into it, like if the frames between a forwardM (the overhead medium) and a DR were small enough to link into each other, it would feel like a more rewarding move to use instead of such the risk/reward thing it is now.
I saw this video and thought "These are gonna be mistakes I'll no doubt make when I get the game because I make them in every fighting game even when I try not to." Sure enough. I was correct. Thank you.
Jeffrey Walther Well, don't forget to figure out what the other buttons do too! People jump in fighters and super rush because they don't know how to move back and forth in the field. Don't forget to dash back and forward. Its quick and sneaky. Dashing into a low attack stream can be much better than a Super Rush because now you can use it in a combo to extend it. Not knowing or experiencing this is why you're using it a lot. Its fine! Its totally understandable. I used to jump in fighters a lot because dashing hurt my thumbs. Now I dash so much in games I've worn out dpads. Just takes time!
Also USE replays not only are they very helpful, they can be really funny turning on the buttons pressed layout. And while I do get a kick out of seeing a rainbow of buttons pressed by my opponent , I can see times where I panic mash as well.
I usually do the exact inverse of the 5th mistake. I'm so used to conserving bars in other games that I fail to use it when it's the right opportunity for that. Things like pressing medium+heavy to intercept the opponent's recovery after a combo, and extend the punishment, or using a Heavy version of attack. I always hold out on doing these.
Great video with very useful stuff for us beginners! I would love to see more of these kinds, maybe even separated roughly by skill-tier? Like.. What mistakes do people at slightly higher skill-level tend to do. How about that?
It would be cool, like in the future if you have a summary in the description. Cause i had to go back through the audio to reinforce these tips. They are wise. This game is very good.

2. Ignoring blue life 1:16

Krystal Myth yeah
Krystal Myth id say it sounds annoying as fuck
I agree. anybody who genuinely likes doing combos loves the shit
I don't know about others, but I love the sound of good arcade buttons. That good, solid, click is just glorious to me.
did u say musical? play big band in skullgirls :D

number 1 tip by me is when you are about to lose because yoru opponent cheats make sur eyou quit out of the game so that you never lose
Moogle Sennin Kid Buu's auto combo.
Ellis Roper thats not cheating.. its in the game
Moogle Sennin it's funny you couldn't see the sarcasm
Ellis Roper
Kid Buu auto conbo ain't broken.
If that is broken, then what is hit?
Ellis Roper block low and punish????
The way they made the c stick tracker so fast intimidates me more than it actually should
DBZF is almost a month out and I still have not improved since then >_>
Peoples like myself have been playing fighting games for decades now. Trust me learn some patience, as the old saying goes; "Rome Wasn't built In A Day" it takes ages to level up if you're being serious. Don't expect 1 month to make you suddenly an "elite tournament level" player.

MGSBigBoss77 do you have a ps4?
Nope!
Honestly get your three characters and get 3 combos for each and 1 string combo after that it’s just mixups , blocking and and counters

Really good video, I’m guilty of like three of these (ESPECIALLY NOT USING ASSISTS). You just earned a new sub. Good luck on your TH-cam career!
Another mistake is level 3 supers. Don't use them unless you know they will hit!
Also don't use them on Sparkling opponents.
even then, you shouldn't use them unless you're guaranteed to kill or it's the last character since they can just be switched out and you'll have lost 3 bars

Been absolutely livid as of late, wondering why I'm so shit at dbfz. Not a fighting games vet by any means, but I took interest in dbfz because I played marvel vs Capcom a lot when I was younger, and saw the similarities. This video pointed out a few things that will help me a TON. Subbed.
What alot of newer people in fighting games in general struggle with is blocking overheads and lows.
Excellent video explaining the mechanics and giving good instruction. The buttons on screen definitely help visually represent what you are talking about and these seem like very great tips.
I really wish I enjoyed fighting games. The animations are beautiful, the models are top notch, there was so much time, effort and love put into the mechanics to make them enjoyable for people who really sink their teeth into these kinds of games. I wish I had the interest to get better and play smarter so I could enjoy them more. I just don't have that competitive nature in me when it comes to fighters, unfortunately for me.
Bro thanks so much for these tip vids unfortunately I lost my PS4 to the pawn shop when I got sick so I've only been able to play fighterz at friends but I've seen the game tourneys and knew there was so much I was missing and without the means to just grind out and learn myself these vids help me recognize what to watch for and improve so I can demolish my friends
Yo low key
That’s some REEEAALLYYY GOOD tips mah boi
Thank you for this video
Damn, you pointed out a mistake I'm guilty of so thanks for the tips! It's hard to learn from mistakes if you don't know your making them! Very well executed video!
Addressing the hittimg buttons on wake up...I'd really like to see frame data cross the board. Similar to FAT for sfv. Some buttons challenge your opponent if he doesn't know true meaties. I'm still learning here myself with arc sys, and you're helping. Thanks again!
Another handy tip is if you use use transport when using spark.. if you hold the buttons your character wont instantly hit.. allowing you to start a combo.. it only works when sparking though. So you can get behind them and do a special or a combo without hitting them first allowing them to turn around.
Honestly, I feel like sometimes meter burning for the fear factor and pressure potential is absolutely a valid option.
Thank you.. This actually helped me alot even if I already knew some of those Tips.
Also if you want to get in without Super Dash, you can press forward and Super Dash on the ground and press down back, its akin to a mini wave dash and allows you to bait situations that might get you killed.
Not gonna lie bro One big thing i could say is that you are a Darn good teacher
6:04 Thank You! 🙏 I was getting brutally murdered 🙌 because I couldn’t figure out how to get out of their combo chain. I was frantically button smashing to try and find a killer instinct combo breaker 🤣
Nice! Thanks for making this. Lots of useful tips here.
You pointed out 2 mistakes that I do and I think I’m pretty good myself. So thanks.
This is brilliant. You just gained a subscriber.
My good sir I must thank you I just got this game a few days ago and I’ve made about most of these mistakes I will try my best to fix these to become a better player. 😁
My issue with managing meter is that if youre playing against someone whose pressure is insane, you almost have to teleport and use one bar and do it frequently.
I need to stop teleporting behind people mid combo. It wastes a bar and just ends the combo
Thank you, I Subscribed you helped me realize some big mistakes i make. I will work on them ASAP.
That last tip is going to save me a lot of frustration
Thanks, I knew that me dashing too much is a bad thing and you supported my theory
Knew most of these but blocking on wake up is a rly good tip thank u
I think the problem that people have with doing the grab is that they know they need to do the grab to stop their defense, but they're too scared to stop doing pressure long enough to press it via fear of the other player just so happening to hit them during that pause (since you have to wait for such a long time after a combo to press the grab button without it just doing the next hit in a combo.)
suprqt agreed. It's super easy to see coming too seeing as you can't Instant air dash into it either.
It doesn’t help that you literally have no way to combo into it, like if the frames between a forwardM (the overhead medium) and a DR were small enough to link into each other, it would feel like a more rewarding move to use instead of such the risk/reward thing it is now.
Jordan Harris you can combo into it while in the air if you heavy > vanish > rush/grab after the wall bounce.
Revengers Z Thats in the air and thats not for breaking defence.
Do the grab during assist pressure to keep it relatively safe
I’m a begginer and I never use super dash lol
Using super dash and getting used to be closed in and aggressive with your opponent probably is probably the next step after learning the basics
U probably super dash and I'm just guessing of the way you type.
Beginner*
Me: su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su su "SUPER DASH*
Then it doesn't apply to you
My mistake is comparing my 12 hours to a pros 500+ and then thinking I’m never going to get anywhere and feeling like I’m never going to get anywhere
Thanks for this I haven’t been doing well in the game and it’s nice to see and be told things I’m doing wrong
Bruh, I can't even switch due to how many to deaths I've had.
I just randomly discovered you and your videos ! That's definitely a subscribe :)
Hey thank you bro I pointed out 4 of my mistakes , now I know what to do to not make that mistake again
Good vid. Keep it up dude I've subbed
Just started playing DBZ. Super helpful video. Thanks :)
I just bought this game today amazing tips dude I'm happy I subscribed to you 😀
I saw this video and thought "These are gonna be mistakes I'll no doubt make when I get the game because I make them in every fighting game even when I try not to." Sure enough. I was correct. Thank you.
Last one is me, thanks ! I always thought 'Come on I'l mash light and interrupt the guy !"
Thanks for the help, I've had fighterz for a few months now and I recognize alot of mistakes I'm making even though I dont play pfp
I tell myself not to super rush before I get into a match, and then in the match I freak out and start super rushing like a mad man.
Jeffrey Walther Well, don't forget to figure out what the other buttons do too! People jump in fighters and super rush because they don't know how to move back and forth in the field. Don't forget to dash back and forward. Its quick and sneaky. Dashing into a low attack stream can be much better than a Super Rush because now you can use it in a combo to extend it. Not knowing or experiencing this is why you're using it a lot. Its fine! Its totally understandable. I used to jump in fighters a lot because dashing hurt my thumbs. Now I dash so much in games I've worn out dpads. Just takes time!
Also USE replays not only are they very helpful, they can be really funny turning on the buttons pressed layout. And while I do get a kick out of seeing a rainbow of buttons pressed by my opponent , I can see times where I panic mash as well.
Whenever I play my friend he always uses sparking to recover for one character and he always dash then I punish it
I usually do the exact inverse of the 5th mistake. I'm so used to conserving bars in other games that I fail to use it when it's the right opportunity for that. Things like pressing medium+heavy to intercept the opponent's recovery after a combo, and extend the punishment, or using a Heavy version of attack. I always hold out on doing these.
I just got to pink today but I still have a lot to learn for sure, thanks for the tips.
Well I don't have to worry about making those mistakes..... because my ass is already dead at the word "go"
Great video with very useful stuff for us beginners! I would love to see more of these kinds, maybe even separated roughly by skill-tier? Like.. What mistakes do people at slightly higher skill-level tend to do. How about that?
It would be cool, like in the future if you have a summary in the description. Cause i had to go back through the audio to reinforce these tips. They are wise. This game is very good.
