Timestamps for you lovely people: Neutral 2:38 Defense 5:28 Block Strings 7:40 Combos 9:17 Oki 11:20 Also feel free to ask any and all questions I'd be happy to answer! Oh and "Like" the video if you found it helpful and share
Make videos shorter, ppl don't want or have time for long explanations. It toke you 2 mins to start getting to the point, you will struggle to keep ppls attention if you can't explain yourself in 15 seconds. Even I know you probably have good information, but don't feel like watching it because of its length, and speeding it up because you talk so slowly wont help, due to the fact that this is a fighting game and I actually need to watch the vid troughly. (But I still speed it up to 1.5 and u seems to be talking like a normal at that speed, which is bad!) Anyway good stuff, I also get lots of ppl asking me the same thing just wanted to make sure I was giving them correct advice. (Of course I also learned a few things here and there I won't deny that)
I used to play fifa n cod for years. Switched to fighting games 4 months back for a new challenge. Its hard. But i love studying the game n improving. Mainly sfv n dbfz. And i always feel its best to have the basics right. N love people who follow that approach. So i subscribed. Cheers man.
I love the how you and TGN Anime are actually talking about these type things. They are so extremely important and overlooked. You guys are the reason I'm getting better!! THANK YOU JTAILS 🙏🙏🙏
Very well done. I'm 100% a casual player at best but this not only will help me up my game, but it will help make watching the FGC easier by knowing what's happening.
I know I'm five months late to the video but just wanted to say that this video is extremely useful from a completely new player's POV(I only started yesterday.) Real nice to see you're still in the fighting game scene. I first heard about you from the early Sm4sh tournament scene. Keep it up!
Even though I kinda knew all this, having the info the way you presented it will play back in my head as I'm playing and will help me panic less, thank you.
These points are exactly what people need to get better. U should do a spectate video series on each topic cuz they are all very important and can be expanded on more. Perfect video. I need to work on these points myself
Jtails, just wanted to say how much i really appreciate the style of your video. There's lots of great FrighterZ content out there, but i loved the calm friendly demeanor of this video and how it really feels that you want to share wisdom!
Thank you for making this video, you are the only person who has made a video like this highlighting all the many aspects of this game other than just combo videos, so thanks
Makes me hsppy knowing I dont need these crazy combos to be good. I came from Street Fighter as a Vega main. I only poked and did quick short combos with him and got too top 100 Vega's. This game gets ya excited and its easy to panic but with your vid I think I can get in a better mind set on playing my way and focusing on what Im really good.
Excellent video! These are the aspects I've been struggling with as well. Especially when picking up new characters. Focus on neutral, defense, and oki is a tough concept for new players to grasp and I'm glad you're covering it
You helped me so much with smash ultimate and you also have dbfz content? You’re awesome dude, thanks for all the great videos, your explanations are the best.
As a fighting game player with practically no experience with ASW games, or tag fighting games for that matter, I'm really looking forward to your videos. Thanks for this.
I'm eagerly awaiting the videos on these topics! I've been hitting a wall where my combo game is fine in the practice room but in a match I can't stop getting hit long enough to do anything, or I mess up my blosckstring pressure and get punished.
Keep posting this lvl of quality bro amazing explanation very clear to understand with plenty of examples. Anyone can make tutorials but are they able to explain in a manner where anyone can understand? Hope your channel gets noticed bro, you got this
Hey bro I JUST found your channel and youre instantly gaining another sub. No one i asked (and i asked quite a few people) helped me with the neutral in DBFZ because I came from a 1v1 fighting game like MkX and im brand new the the anime fighter and I was to the point where I wanted to give up because I couldn't understand the key differences and why I was getting my defense blown up.
Hey I recognize you from Smash 4! Good video, I liked the part where you showed how you counter 16's string with deflect, please include more specific practical exemples like this one in your future videos. /Subscribed
I'm just getting into dbfz (I know I'm late!), this video is super helpful. I'll definitely he subbing and checking out your other videos in the series. Thank you for this!
So here I am watching your videos on how to improve when it suddenly strikes me that, not only do I recognize your name, but I got totally destroyed in a match by you recently!! I also play on PC and go by PrinceKasysar93 (in case you might also remember kicking my ass, but I'm sure you wreck peeps left and right on a regular basis lol). It's funny because I'm sitting here feeling encouraged by your videos to keep training, but I never thought I'd be learning from the guy who wiped the floor with me so ruthlessly in game a few nights ago via casual match. Tbh my confidence was totally crushed in that moment, but now I feel both honored and humbled to have been beaten by you...it was quite an eye-opening experience to say the least. Thank you so much for helping out those of us who still have much to learn. Subscribed!
I actually really love this. There are far too many character guides on RUclips that tell you what one or two moves do, then proceed to do combos for 10 minutes straight (...UnderDawg *cough*).
This is great! Though I wonder a lot about 2 things that I also don't see discussed much: *Disparity in character picks-* People are more likely to win without fundamentals using A-Gohan, GBlack, 16, and now Bardock, with a Vegeta assist. *A lack of defensive options-* Deflecting or Tech'ing (on wakeup no less, meaning you've already been hit once) are your only options. How much does that increase in difficulty against the relevant character matchups. I guess you'll be discussing this further anyway but I know these two points are issues (and vids I watch) about what they want to see in the future of DBFZ.
Defensive options would definitely be something I'd love to see. Some type of parry or perfect block maybe. Or at least a better way to circumvent pressure as bigger characters against pressure heavy characters in the corner lol.
There's no meter based defense. I won't pretend I'm a fighting game veternan anything of the sort, but I was under the impression that, at least the games I've tried, most had some sort of meter based defensive options. Yes guard cancel uses meter and is technically a defensive option, but it has no more armor then a normal super dash and can get clipped by an in-progress block string making it very risky. A two meter 100% success rate counter with minor damage and a reset back to neutral, for example, would be outstanding just to deal with some of the ridiculous pressure that can be put on you from block strings and assists. I don't think anyone wants a ridiculous counter to which they can then pull off a free optimal combo or anything, just the OPTION to prevent pressure loops when cornered.
So, I'd back this 100% if you make normal guard cancel's cost half a bar and guaranteed 'guard reversal' cost 1 bar. Either that, or leave it all as is, and increase the amount of bar you gain when you're stuck in a blockstring for a long period of time. I find this is one of the main issues with huge blockstring pressures and meter management. The person on the offensive gets about 2x more bar than you when doing the blockstring. They can do a blockstring that gains 1.5 -2 bars, and use a bar but the defending character gets about 0.8/0.9 of a bar for successfully blocking everything. Another thing I'd also want changing, is deflect STOPPING all advancing normals from...advancing! Deflect Yamcha starting his autocombo successfully? Congrats - his third autocombo hits you anyway! Deflect GokuBlue's autocombo? Congrats - his third overhead hits your jab and beats it! Basically, get rid of some of the janky-ness of defensive options.
AGohan actually needs decent fundamentals from what I've seen, and Goku Black is just all fundamentals. 16 and Broly imo are the only characters who can bring free success because of their ability to bypass the neutral with armor lol
We'll have to agree to disagree there. I find that AGohan has a lot of pressure tools, so much so that not having all-round good fundamentals (on offensive, defensive and in a general gameplan) doesn't matter. He just devolves into rush down until you guess wrong. Lets be honest, he isn't top tier for nothing. If you ever played SFV, you'll probably categorise this as "Braindead" gameplay. Laura and Mika were in that catagory, and I agreed. I mained Laura, and the gameplan was "get in-stay in" so its just a guessing game. That's kind of where I see AGohan and 16. Not so much Broly...because his combo potential is so limited and relies HEAVILY on mostly conditioning a player.
What I try and do is watch closely at how people play different compared to myself. Ill then try and add some of those techniques to my gameplay little by little and it works somehow. I also like to camp and watch the world burn so do that to.
Thank you for making this video, I've been playing for a while (Used to play the hell out of MvC2, Guilty Gear XX, Blazblue) but I have never been a terribly technical player. I never learned the technical terms for a lot of actions going on the screen other than my options at the point where I was at mid game. I was actually going to look up what "meaty" attacks actually mean because I've been getting my stuff kicked in by pink players in DBF lol. The last fighting game that I played mandatory on fight stick was MvC2 and I still have the pushblock habits ingrained and had been getting completely destroyed during Pressure strings because i was hitting buttons while blocking lol. I know that my neutral game is decent, combo's are alright, defence was trash (better now though) and my Oki is abysmal. I've been in situations that have made me rage really hard that I'm hoping you might be able to help me with if you have a moment to explain the mechanic I would GREATLY appreciate it! I've been playing a lot of Gohan and get caught in his Lvl3 super after a long bnb combo, but what is frustrating is that on wake up (The entire time I'm holding back to block) he throws out a Masenko or a Goku black Kamehameha and no matter what I do... My character doesn't block and it feels like my character just got wiped for no reaosn and it triggers. What is the correct response if you know a beam special is coming *OR if you can predict their attack direction* to be able to block coming up? Block should be active on frame 1, right? Or is that some kind of f****d up frame trap? Like Beam attack that is blocked followed by Vanish if the opponent tries to hit buttons? Thank you so much for any help! Before my method of trying to improve was simply getting my ass beat until I got better, and have always been amazed at how people are able to improve with the training mode, other than just practicing muscle memory for AID's or labing combo strings!
It doesnt matter if you're good at combos if you're always being outplayed and can't get combos going anyway. Like I could have barebones combos that only do 25% but since I can outplay someone and block them consistently or win neutral everytime they'll never win
I happen to have a dark green tile status. I know this is partly cause I am not that good at the game, but there are very few often no people in the server with the same color tile actually playing matches, so most matchups I get take a very long time to que and are often either very easy or too difficult for me. Its hard to improve when you practice against either sitting ducks, or eagles with firearms.
need the nxt episode in the series...im steadily climbing up the ranks but i kno im not optimal & i dnt have any sparking combos..i dnt kno what i should focus on set ups, nooch, combos..#Broly/Vegeta/Cell
It's really simple actually. Get set play for your team, memorize it, land a hit, rinse and repeat. This is exactly what all the top players do get set play and just memorize it and do it
close! Flashygoodness has a similar style to Anamanagucci. but yeah it's from Rivals of Aether which is also on PC, and the song itself is from an original game called Tower of Heaven.
Just for the sake of knowing, it looks like adult gohans down medium has a low priority. My question is does it get beaten by a lot of other down mediums?
No, they would clash if done at the same time. but if another down medium hits it before the hitbox comes out then it loses. if another down medium hits it after this hitbox finishes then you get punished also.
Thats so helpfull I played tekken and was really good there but here I get frustrated loosing against mashers cuz I cant do shit all I did is learning combos and still lose
Bruh fuckin thank you for this video bro ive been all over youtube trying to understand why im so trash and your the only one who is actually able to explain why lmao
Yeha the video is to long, ppl dont like that. I kinda lose interest when I watch a video with 2 digits in the minutes side, and some videoes u just can't use the x1.5 or x2 speed.
Definitely. I use PS4 controller and I swear to God somethings off about it. Sometimes I'm pressing back and I wont block. Im getting a fight stick soon.
I use a quanba fight stick it cost around 70$ to 80$ if i recall correctly i hate the ps4 controller for this game cuz it hurts my hands if i play alot and i feel like i cant do some moves but just so you know some times i feel like i cant dash correctly. But if you want a really good fight stick its gonna cost up to 200$ and im going to confess to yall i use turbo botton. What yall think? Lol
I actually didn't get to make that video, but if you take a look at some of my specific character guides, I go into their usual block strings for them!
I need help defending against get locked during local/lan tournaments into a continuous barrage of attacks. I don’t know when to block and awaken. Then I just get bodied!!! Help! Please and Thank you.
Yeah I have the same problem , I cant get to pink . Im stuck at yellow and orange , after I get to orange I always rank down back to yellow :/ But well its my first tag or anime fighter ( I only played 1 vs 1 fighters )
Ok, so I haven’t finished the video, but I just want to say, I don’t play any form of ranked, as I don’t have Xbox gold. I just want to be able to do 2 things, one, I want to be able to beat level 100 enemies, and 2, I want to be able to unlock ssgss goku and vegeta, without dying by gotenks in the first round.
What are some good teams with Adult Gohan? (and who should be point etc) Also: is it really not viable to put together a team of characters you just want to play?
I mean you could do whatever you want, but there is a certain flow to the game that just kind of makes sense and is objectively effective. characters with little to no synergy, you're always going to be climbing an uphill battle on that. A Gohan could be point or anchor, not really a mid though. A Gohan is one of those characters that can suit any team but he works especially well with beam assists and vegeta.
They also have the same amount of time to wait they are just better at spacing the timing so it feels like a lot more pressure. You need to develop longer block strings. email me for lessons if interested JtailsTV@gmail.com
hey please check out a lot of my other DBFZ videos! I have a lot of info in all of them especially about movement :) Here are Android 16 ones: ruclips.net/video/sX0xdUdOv88/видео.html ruclips.net/video/-l-7870cUTo/видео.html
Exactly why In win against my Friends who are great if they get a hit in but they simply can't. Because I block everything. And Tech their dragon rushes.
Thanks for this awsome video Jtails. One question, how do you recognize if there a gap in block string? If I mashing reflect in block strings, will it act as an option select if there a gap or opponent stagger their button? I'm still not very familiar with all the block strings of each character.
People are so inclined to think that combos are the most important goddamn thing in every fighter. Guys. Timing. Spacing. Judgement. Strategy. These matter more than memorizing a bunch of one-frame links. Master that only after learning those. Go win some player matches in mortal kombat with only the uppercut, leg sweep, specials, and x-ray, and you'll understand.
fireflocs valid point but fighterz and mortal kombat are/have different fighting styles. I play both, totally different mindset for each. You still have a good point to your statement, but I just wanted to point out that; FighterZ and Mortal Kombat play differently.
It's been hard for me coming from tekken 7 to learn the movement of dragon ball fighterz. I keep getting rushed with those damn combos sometimes not getting a chance to even attack
I didn't even know what Neutral was before this video.... I've been doing that all this time? ... I just called it "wild west staredown".... And here I thought my name for it was original and good.... :c
To be honest the combo’s are hard and every match i never got the chance to move or hit Because the oppenent are to fast knows whats its about to do and that’s a down fall for me
You are the first person to ever helpfully explain Neutral.
Thanks man I've done it a lot with smash and it's tough sometimes to transfer my thoughts over to other people. Glad it has been so helpful.

Hi Jtails great video almost as good as your Smash 4 vids..almost ;) Keep your content coming its the best!
Make videos shorter, ppl don't want or have time for long explanations. It toke you 2 mins to start getting to the point, you will struggle to keep ppls attention if you can't explain yourself in 15 seconds.
Even I know you probably have good information, but don't feel like watching it because of its length, and speeding it up because you talk so slowly wont help, due to the fact that this is a fighting game and I actually need to watch the vid troughly.

I love the Tower of Heaven music, It's a nice throwback from your older uploads.
Swedish Monk it’s 15 minutes. How low is your attention span
Your absolutely right so many players try to do their 60 hits combos at all times, but when you know how to avoid that they have nothing left.
Cloud805 in a nutshell
I used to play fifa n cod for years. Switched to fighting games 4 months back for a new challenge.
Its hard. But i love studying the game n improving. Mainly sfv n dbfz. And i always feel its best to have the basics right. N love people who follow that approach. So i subscribed. Cheers man.

This video is so underrated you deserve more views keep it up, other videos didn’t help me as much as yours thank you!
Thank you so much! You are helpful and organized, I also believe that auto mixups are important to have in your back pocket
Not all though, I’m pretty sure some characters don’t have a low attack in the auto combo so you can just block low
Love this video my dude, new to fighting games and this is the best game so far for my anime that ive loved since a kid. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDS
You helped me so much with smash ultimate and you also have dbfz content? You’re awesome dude, thanks for all the great videos, your explanations are the best.

Really good video. I like the out of the box thinking for us, and so helpful. Look forward to these videos as they come out
Amazing video. Cant wait for the rest of the series.
This was damn helpful. Keep up the good work my dude!
Awesome to hear! Will do
Thank you for this video mate. Great tips. Will definitely help me up my game. Keep em coming :)
Nice vídeo man! I was looking for content like this to improve. Keep uploading these kind of videos please! cheers
This is me, gna use this vid as a *bible* and improve my game. Thanks for this!
New subscriber, I enjoy your videos to help me get better to whoop my friend.
This is great! Though I wonder a lot about 2 things that I also don't see discussed much:
*Disparity in character picks-*
People are more likely to win without fundamentals using A-Gohan, GBlack, 16, and now Bardock, with a Vegeta assist.
*A lack of defensive options-*
Deflecting or Tech'ing (on wakeup no less, meaning you've already been hit once) are your only options. How much does that increase in difficulty against the relevant character matchups.
I guess you'll be discussing this further anyway but I know these two points are issues (and vids I watch) about what they want to see in the future of DBFZ.
Defensive options would definitely be something I'd love to see. Some type of parry or perfect block maybe. Or at least a better way to circumvent pressure as bigger characters against pressure heavy characters in the corner lol.
There's no meter based defense. I won't pretend I'm a fighting game veternan anything of the sort, but I was under the impression that, at least the games I've tried, most had some sort of meter based defensive options. Yes guard cancel uses meter and is technically a defensive option, but it has no more armor then a normal super dash and can get clipped by an in-progress block string making it very risky.

I don't think anyone wants a ridiculous counter to which they can then pull off a free optimal combo or anything, just the OPTION to prevent pressure loops when cornered.
So, I'd back this 100% if you make normal guard cancel's cost half a bar and guaranteed 'guard reversal' cost 1 bar. Either that, or leave it all as is, and increase the amount of bar you gain when you're stuck in a blockstring for a long period of time.
I find this is one of the main issues with huge blockstring pressures and meter management. The person on the offensive gets about 2x more bar than you when doing the blockstring. They can do a blockstring that gains 1.5 -2 bars, and use a bar but the defending character gets about 0.8/0.9 of a bar for successfully blocking everything.
Another thing I'd also want changing, is deflect STOPPING all advancing normals from...advancing!
Deflect Yamcha starting his autocombo successfully? Congrats - his third autocombo hits you anyway!
Deflect GokuBlue's autocombo? Congrats - his third overhead hits your jab and beats it!
Basically, get rid of some of the janky-ness of defensive options.
AGohan actually needs decent fundamentals from what I've seen, and Goku Black is just all fundamentals.
16 and Broly imo are the only characters who can bring free success because of their ability to bypass the neutral with armor lol

Thank you so much!
Long time no see, Nice vids Jules, wish I could play with you sometimes but our schedules don't match 😭, I'll catch your sub streams one of these days
Thanks for these tips, really informative
I love this game. So much potential
Or just play bardock with lag. You'll win everytime!
I don't have lag which makes that harder
you've made a subscriber out of me man. Thank you so much
Excellent video man keep up the good work 🙂
Got my sub
Same
Good stuff jtails...😎✏✏

The next one coming out is actually going to be about defense due to popular demand. I'm trying to get it out this weekend!
need the nxt episode in the series...im steadily climbing up the ranks but i kno im not optimal & i dnt have any sparking combos..i dnt kno what i should focus on set ups, nooch, combos..#Broly/Vegeta/Cell
Awesome video
thank you!!
This video is great i can't wait to be done with this semester to finally sit down and train by the way whats the soundtrack you use in this video
"You're gonna get blown up, you're gonna get opened up, you're gonna eat a full combo."
Subscribed keep it up my boi
Thank you so much! I appreciate that :)
It's really simple actually.
Get set play for your team, memorize it, land a hit, rinse and repeat.
This is exactly what all the top players do get set play and just memorize it and do it
Thanks I needed this vid
hi can you please make a video on how to train Blocking using training mode? appreciate u still great videos
Love the video but what is the song in the background???
I just hate the special attacks button its too complicated and difficult for me to do it
What’s that song in the background? I wanna say it’s from the Scott Pilgrim game? Maybe Mega Man?
myevili no. Its from Rivals Of Aether it’s on Steam and i think Xbox1. The game itself is like Smash bros ( Meele) . Highly recommended.
close! Flashygoodness has a similar style to Anamanagucci. but yeah it's from Rivals of Aether which is also on PC, and the song itself is from an original game called Tower of Heaven.
Just for the sake of knowing, it looks like adult gohans down medium has a low priority. My question is does it get beaten by a lot of other down mediums?
No, they would clash if done at the same time. but if another down medium hits it before the hitbox comes out then it loses. if another down medium hits it after this hitbox finishes then you get punished also.
Hey jtails, are u gonna try to get into the summit of power? I think you can get a lot better and learn a lot there
Great video! Are you still planning to make more?
yes one will be uploaded today!
Whats the background music?
Thats so helpfull I played tekken and was really good there but here I get frustrated loosing against mashers cuz I cant do shit all I did is learning combos and still lose
How do i punish SD? I feel like thats my weak point noobs will rush me i block then try to attack and get punished
crouching Heavy is a good and easy way to punish it. or just block and then reset back to neutral.
Thx
Try doing this using yamcha, piccolo, t.gohan
you definitely can same as with the characters I'm using. Just using them to exaggerate the points.
Awesome video but 4S in this game is called Reflect, with R instead of D although I also think it should be called Deflect lol
You actually dont need to reflect 16 236S or 214S, its not a blockstring, you can mash L at the startup of it.
Pretty impressive
Bruh fuckin thank you for this video bro ive been all over youtube trying to understand why im so trash and your the only one who is actually able to explain why lmao
Thank you for the comment! I try to explain a lot of the games I play in this way. I try to put myself in the shoes of brand new players :)
Thank you again bro i will be tuning in to learn more from you !!!
Subscribed !!
Thank you!
+Jtails No, thank 👉YOU👈 ^^
good video I didn't watch it but yeah good shit
LOL
Does anyone?
You sounded like Aris there for a sec
LOL
Yeha the video is to long, ppl dont like that. I kinda lose interest when I watch a video with 2 digits in the minutes side, and some videoes u just can't use the x1.5 or x2 speed.
Super helpful awesome video 👍
Thank you! I'll be going deeper on all these topics in the coming days.
Should I get a fightstick if I can't make the correct inputs on pad?
It's up to your preference, whichever you like more.I got a fightstick simply because I like the look of them.I say if your intrested go for it!
Definitely. I use PS4 controller and I swear to God somethings off about it. Sometimes I'm pressing back and I wont block. Im getting a fight stick soon.
I use a quanba fight stick it cost around 70$ to 80$ if i recall correctly i hate the ps4 controller for this game cuz it hurts my hands if i play alot and i feel like i cant do some moves but just so you know some times i feel like i cant dash correctly. But if you want a really good fight stick its gonna cost up to 200$ and im going to confess to yall i use turbo botton. What yall think? Lol
what is this background music ???
nicrules77 It’s from Rivals of Aether
Jtails do you have a block string episode for dbfz
I actually didn't get to make that video, but if you take a look at some of my specific character guides, I go into their usual block strings for them!
I'm gonna need the song from the start of the vid
I need help defending against get locked during local/lan tournaments into a continuous barrage of attacks. I don’t know when to block and awaken. Then I just get bodied!!! Help! Please and Thank you.
You got it man, I might just focus on the blocking aspect first then since this is what everyone wants to hear about.
got it, ill stay tuned man Thank you!
Rivals of aether playing in the background.
Very helpful
Yeah I have the same problem , I cant get to pink . Im stuck at yellow and orange , after I get to orange I always rank down back to yellow :/ But well its my first tag or anime fighter ( I only played 1 vs 1 fighters )
Ok, so I haven’t finished the video, but I just want to say, I don’t play any form of ranked, as I don’t have Xbox gold. I just want to be able to do 2 things, one, I want to be able to beat level 100 enemies, and 2, I want to be able to unlock ssgss goku and vegeta, without dying by gotenks in the first round.
What are some good teams with Adult Gohan? (and who should be point etc) Also: is it really not viable to put together a team of characters you just want to play?
I mean you could do whatever you want, but there is a certain flow to the game that just kind of makes sense and is objectively effective. characters with little to no synergy, you're always going to be climbing an uphill battle on that.
A Gohan could be point or anchor, not really a mid though. A Gohan is one of those characters that can suit any team but he works especially well with beam assists and vegeta.
Robert11 I use adult/teen gohan, cell then vegeta
Why does every opponent have nearly infinite z assist but I have to wait 10 seconds between each one
They also have the same amount of time to wait they are just better at spacing the timing so it feels like a lot more pressure. You need to develop longer block strings. email me for lessons if interested JtailsTV@gmail.com
Jtails I’m ok I’ll work on it myself but I’m just trash lol
hey how to you controle 16? thxs allot in a new player indeed :X
hey please check out a lot of my other DBFZ videos! I have a lot of info in all of them especially about movement :)
Here are Android 16 ones:

will you be doing a full cell character guide anytime soon?
Mike b go watch some go1/sonic fox vids. Pretty much the same if you are looking more towards combo porential.
Exactly why In win against my Friends who are great if they get a hit in but they simply can't. Because I block everything. And Tech their dragon rushes.
Thanks for this awsome video Jtails. One question, how do you recognize if there a gap in block string? If I mashing reflect in block strings, will it act as an option select if there a gap or opponent stagger their button? I'm still not very familiar with all the block strings of each character.
Fitri Zainol wow this is actually a good question
Thx for this video
People are so inclined to think that combos are the most important goddamn thing in every fighter.
Guys. Timing. Spacing. Judgement. Strategy. These matter more than memorizing a bunch of one-frame links. Master that only after learning those. Go win some player matches in mortal kombat with only the uppercut, leg sweep, specials, and x-ray, and you'll understand.
fireflocs valid point but fighterz and mortal kombat are/have different fighting styles. I play both, totally different mindset for each. You still have a good point to your statement, but I just wanted to point out that; FighterZ and Mortal Kombat play differently.
It's been hard for me coming from tekken 7 to learn the movement of dragon ball fighterz. I keep getting rushed with those damn combos sometimes not getting a chance to even attack
I didn't even know what Neutral was before this video.... I've been doing that all this time? ...
I just called it "wild west staredown".... And here I thought my name for it was original and good.... :c
I suck royal ass at fighting games, but I'm enjoying this one. I suppose practice makes perfect?
To be honest the combo’s are hard and every match i never got the chance to move or hit
Because the oppenent are to fast knows whats its about to do and that’s a down fall for me
Oh that RoA bgm though
Hey I'm glad you noticed! :p
