Zap zap or wap wap?

Post by ChronoTwigger » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:35 pm

Just a question.
Did you like the most energy attacks or hand to hand clashes?
At a given point in DBZ we all know energy attacks were all the thing, with occasional random flurries of punches.
I think Super tried to convey a superiority of hand to hand (while the scenes are very short).
Let's discuss this.
I learned english listening to songs. So I don't know anything about. The day you had to learn play piano by just listening .mp3, you'll understand.

It doesn't Matter which techniques they use as long as the choreography is good, which super dosen't have most of the times..

I think they've tried to do good choreographies, but in fact those scenes doesn't last enough.
For example, Goku meet Zamasu. Zamasu was introduced as a combat genius. He does one aikido very nice move and then... stop.
So far the only real good fights I could count are Vegeta Blue vs Black final clash, and Goku vs Monaka Beerus. The latter, while silly in the premise, it's nice and varied.

Now don't take me too seriously, but I think that if this below could be done in a 2d videogame, what exactly stop for DB to convey a similar power feel?

My point was all about kind of fight, not quality, as all we know DBS is 10 year late in that field.
