Thank God Unlock Potential didn't just become another version of Super Saiyan. And I agree with KentalSSJ6. Get good if you wanna use Unlocked Potential efficiently in battle, instead of relying on spamming.

Right, its pathetic because it doesnt allow players to abuse a spamming issue. Get good.
And? If they wanted to fix the issue with spam then they should have had NO KI DRAIN at all for this form.

I third this. They should have made SSJ forms like this in the first place. :/

So is SSJ still spam though?

So anyone know the stats for unlocked potential? I'm probably still gonna ditch saiyans since humans can automatically refill ki, and Might as well is great for getting ki quickly.

Well SSJ1-2 were about a 2-3% increase while Kaio-Ken X20 was about a 10% increase.

Given Potential doesn't give free supers and ults and drains Ki about half as slow as SSJ1, Id wager a 5-6% increase.

Might As Well actually got nerfed. From what I tested it no longer has increase Stamina regen so it's possible they also hit its ki regen buff as well. If they did...well there's always other options.

I am severly pissed right now! I just purchased DLC Pack 3 on the PS Store and it won't download! It just loads for two seconds and stops.

Can someone please tell me what I can do? I'm on PS3. If this can't be fixed, then that means I wasted $9.99, and someone at Dimps is getting their neck snapped!

So, since the Unlock Potential that custom characters use isn't spammable ki supers and such, what does it do other than raise stats? Cause, it honestly sounds like Saiyans still have an advantage over the other races.

Oh saiyans are anything but holding an advantage. In PVE all saiyans have is Super Saiyan to make it go by faster. In PVP Super Saiyan basically is a liability against any good player. Saiyans also have awful stats. Humans are essentially better saiyans with greater stats except basic attack.

I am actually a little peeved that Unlock Potential doesn't allow you to spam like SSJ. However I can accept that. What I can't accept is the fact that it's still basically no better than using Kaioken. If anything I feel UP should've had the boost, but doesn't drain Ki, and halves the cost of all Ult attacks. Since Unlock Potential isn't an actual transformation, it's just the persons true ability being brought out. Halving the cost of Ultimates while using it would make it more worth while. Doesn't allow us to spam, but does give people the chance to avoid being sucked into being defenseless once your ki is drained out.

Well that's a major buzz kill. I wanted to is spam. I'm sorry but a game that allows me to reach level 85 with 80 level punch and still struggle with CPU's is wrong. Honestly unless I'm spamming a death ball building a melee character is fruitless. Now folks will say "learn how to play" but what is their to learn?

I've never found a limitless combo with cac's or mastered the Instantaneous Mmovement. All I wanna do is spam and beat all the Master quests. But no! Well now that I ranted how come none of my Z ranks fill up Old Kaioshin's meter? I've completed all other Masters without a hitch so why must I suffer now? (I'm 85 level)

I just played around with the new DLC a bit. SSGSS Goku's new Kamehameha Super and Ulitmate, are hella cheap. And Vegeta's Super Galick Gun... sucks. That charge time is crazy. Freeza's ground on fire blasty thing, and his Death Beam Ult... crazy cheap too; easy to dodge, hard to escape.

Well, I seem to be making progress after my save data was corrupted by god knows what. Been power leveling the DLC quests to hit at least level 90 for pack 3 and Old Kai's training.

Male Saiyans hold the advantage in Basic Attack and are good for builds utilizing buffs since they make them last longer. Female Saiyans were screwed before this DLC came out. Even with Super Vegeta 2 Female Earthlings would outdamage Female Saiyans, and the same goes for male Earthlings with Strike builds regardless of using Super Saiyan 2. They also have the lowest Basic Attack and Health and their abilities suck (better ki regen and stamina regen don't beat Earthling's auto-regen and Namekians have faster Stamina regen; better chance at Z-Assists still makes you the RNG's bitch and limits your Ultimate choices further). Dimps/Bandai must of hated the idea and DLC 3 is just rubbing more salt on the wound. The nerf of "Might As Well..." and "Super Saiyan Bargain Sale" makes things worse.

So I contacted Playstation's customer service on the DLC Pack 3 issue earlier and their response was "please contact us again later after the store completes it's update if you are still having the issue". Now, after the store finished updating, it's now moves on to "we got problems, try again later".

The PS3's DLC problems with this game are getting a little ridiculous.

I don't think buffs for male saiyans mean much when I'd rather just have better overall stats. Female saiyans are definitely in a worst spot though. I still think strike moves are just a lot more ineffective than ki moves. Especially ultimates where strike supers blow and ki supers are great.

Wait Might as well was nerfed...but I liked my extra speed, ki regen, and stamina gain....awww....

So I'm hearing about Evil Whirlwind and Perfect Kamehameha losing their invincibility frames. Makes me sad.

Not that any of it matters to me, given that the PC playerbase is dying.
