"DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Thread

[chaospunishment]

You can tell they made Super Saiyan God's model first and then just stretched him out to make normal Goku. His arms go right through his shirt

[dbboxkaifan]

How come Namco Bandai hasn't fixed the 999,999,999 hack yet? Is it that easy to get all cards and 999?

[Thanos]

Uhh, okay. After reaching an understanding of how the mechanics work and doing some coop online... wow. That's all I can say. This is the best DBZ game I've played since Sparking! METEOR. Seriously, give this a chance. Watch LordMoonstone's videos. Find a character you like. Play some online. You won't regret it.

Once you find a character you like, learn their strategy, and find your role in a coop match, this game really shines.

So I just unlocked all the characters except Super Saiyan Bardock who for some reason is placed right next to Imperfect Cell despite that making no sense and... I didn't get the trophy. Seriously don't understand why. Kind of infuriating. But I did own some people online with Super Vegetto. 15 KOs and 4 KOd. It was pretty great. The Spirit Sword move is a bit OP since it guard breaks a person when you use it, but I like it anyways. Anyone see any Super Vegetto players online? I feel like I'm the only one on PS3. Hahaha.

The character missing next to Imperfect Cell is Cell Jr, not SSJ Bardock. You have to S rank that World Tournament mission to unlock him, which can easily be done so by equipping Energy Absorbing System B(gotten from the premium card store) and having all your partners be Jeice.

When the battle starts, command your party to go all out and attack(by pressing Up on the directional pad) so they stick around in the middle of the stage throughout most of the match, and while they're busy, spam your L1+O beam attacks. One of them may or may not ring out once or twice, but with this method, you'll probably wind up beating all the enemies and earn enough special points to earn that S rank before the time runs out.

How many enemies are in the World Tournament mission? I don't want to go through 100. Seriously don't even want to do that. But thanks for letting me know it was Cell Jr.

A lot, but not like the Saibamen and Freeza Soldier missions where it takes forever. This can be completed in 3-4 minutes. With the method described above, you'll cheese through it quickly.

The PS3 version makes me sad a lot less people use headsets on it so the coop is not as fun as on 360. However I have Vegetto and SSJ Bardock on PS3

The game is worth buying but not at full price, you know, with the right price this'd been a success not only amongst fans but everyone.

Is the 360 version as laggy as PS3's?

I've been playing the demo on my PS3 and most of the time I end up with laggy matches which annoy me because if I wanted to quit due to their shitty connection that'd be reported to my profile.

I agree; I got it on Vita with the PS+ sale (it ended up being around $32 or so I think).

Really? Almost every server I've seen my friend play on(I'm getting this for my report card grades) had headsets. Many I'm just lucky but on the demo everyone had head-sets.

[kazamino]

I rarely ever see anyone on ANYTHING on the PS3 with headsets... so I don't care much about that if I'm not leading a squad. However on the other end of the spectrum, I get nothing BUT foulmouthed children on Xbox LIve and I get headaches fast trying to lead unruly children. I've had some lag problems on XBL, my connection is usually good but the minute we see someone with a redline in lobby everyone bails...

I've had less lag playing on 360 than PS3. Both my consoles are connected to the modem by cable so its not a wireless problem. There is a good 1 second delay whenever I play it on PS3 even playing with people in the same country.

Anyway I've jumped back into the 360 version now so I just gotta hope Namco Bandai change their mind about the DLC.

[dbboxkaifan]

If any of you want a Kanzenshuu battle on PS3's demo I'd be up for it but please no lag.

It's a shame the price is unreasonable or else I'd buy the full version to play it online.

[ShadowDude112]

I really haven't been a fan of this character select screen. With all these characters, it would be better to show all of them, scrolling shouldn't have been how it was done. Does anyone else think that this wasn't the best way to have a character select screen?

[Li'l Lemmy]

After spending a few days playing the hell out of this game, I can honestly say that it's the most fun I've had with a DragonBall game since the PS2.

I definitely have more to say, it's just... hnn. Tired. Played eight hours straight today. Zzz...

Ok, which cards can I equip a character to make this entire game "easy mode"? I've been stuck on the same missions for 3 days.

Give your main character your best cards and add three support characters, depending on the missions. Give the AI cards too, if you don't have many of them, either grind for some in other missions or only upgrade the stats that matter (which are in this case health, special, energy, possibly speed). It shouldn't be much of an problem though, since multiple copies of the same character share the same cards, which means you won't need too many.

18, Jeice and Whis are good support characters, so is Fat Buu. Maybe remove a support character and add an interference character if you think three is overkill. You should be a melee or ki blast character for the damage.

As for skill or item cards, I don't know much about that, I'd try the ones that increase your abilities without too risky requirements (like low health) or give you an extra (relevant) slot. You could also try a fruit of the tree of might or a Sensu Bean for your item slot. I like the Master Shen cards too for a ki blast character, since they' mostly stay in the air and fire energy attacks, more often safe from harm than a melee character. Skill and item cards don't work on the AI, except for the ones that increase the EXP given after a battle. You might want to equip those to improve the AI faster while playing.

[Dicrypter]

Hello every one,
I have a question, i have joined in a on line mission 60 and we get the S rank but i don't unlock ss god why that happened?
Can you guys help me out?

[dbboxkaifan]

Just came from a 1v1 match and that was tons of fun it's a shame that the mode is locked to online only so when the servers get shutdown it's over, plus, the game having average to negative reviews won't help it for a sequel.

Eight hours? Whoa that's impressive.
