Any DBZ fans? They're making a Marvel v Capcom style fighting game

[Mook]

So I guess the demo has been making the rounds with "professional" fighting gamers and they're all loving it.

Game looks sick as fuck. Ignore the overly excited commentary, and watch in 1080.

The Best Moments From Evo's Dragon Ball FighterZ Tournament

 

[Fish]

I must be immune since Ive been watching a lot more fighting game tournaments, but they did have a few sessions at EVO this weekend. Yes, the game looks hype as fuck. It might be a better MvC than MvC is.

The last moment is a huge comback in DBF in this vid.

Then here is just some highlights from EVO.

Also, why you put "professionals" in quotes? The guy that one SF5 at EVO just won 70K for one tournament, and places in lots of them. The second place guy is only 18 and won 150K at Eleague earlier this year. These guys make more money than we do playing games. I actually ran into a pro online and got fucking bodied. This is what they do every day.

 

[Mook]

Because most don't know that there is big money in gaming now.

 

[Fish]

True that. People still mock the fact that the EVO top 8 was on ESPN 2 on Sunday night.

 

[Mook]

Game drops in January. Even tho I'll have no one to play it with and I will get absolutely wrecked online, I think I'm getting it.

[Mook]

Oh cool. Well, I guess our friendship will survive until January then.

 

[Fish]

Will also purchases.

Ehh. I do love me some Marvel vs Capcom, but after playing Budokai 1-3, as well as a few others, I don't see the appeal of a 2.5D DBZ fighting game. I've only played a little bit but Xenoverse 2 is pretty fun and the story is great I think. It's a 3D DBZ fighting game, where you can create your own character and play in different timelines. I think it includes Super Saiyan Blue and the DB Super transformations, haven't gotten that far but I saw some in a trailer I think or some DLC

 

[Mook]

Game comes out this month. Beta mid month. [MENTION=377]Shibby50[/MENTION], you still plan on getting this if its not total shit?

 

[Fish]

I thought people were already playing beta? Its getting good reviews from the pros who have played.

Apparently someone posted a tweet about how this game should rank people by manga/show continuity. Which would leave everyone playing nothing but Blue Goku and Blue Vegeta. So Im making it a goal to learn Yamcha and Krillin and collect those rage quits.

 

[Mook]

I think some pros got a chance to test and apparently some Packers players got to test it but the actual beta starts mid month.

 

[Shibby50]

Yeah I’m sure I’ll end up with it

 

[Mook]

Even if it's just got a good campaign, I'll be happy.

 

[Mook]

Bump for beta this weekend. Gonna try it out Sunday. I think it comes with an online mode and an offline practice mode.

 

[Fish]

How does one acquire said beta?

 

[Mook]

Open beta starting Sunday. Digital pre-orders start Saturday.

 

[Fish]

Ok. I wasnt sure if there was a code you had to get from somewhere, or if you had to preorder to be able to access it.

 

[Mook]

No sir.

 

[Mook]

welp, huge disappointment. the servers are completely fucked and there is no practice mode so you can only play the game pvp, which isnt happening. was really pumped to try this today. bandai said they will extend the beta if they cant fix the servers in a reasonable time.

could have swore there was gonna be a practice mode..thats what i really wanted to try, not getting smoked by some kid online to start

Yep, I downloaded it this morning and the servers were fried.

 

[Smokinhot]

This is what I got

 

[Mook]

Ya, servers are fucked. Also, I hope its just the beta version, but you gotta jump through like 100 hoops to even get the game going. Then you gotta choose regions, servers, etc. Its gotta just be set up that way to stress test.

 

[Mook]

Anyone get this to work?
