I'm sorry, but you're doing something wrong then. I've finished basically everything in the game, and never had a problem with vanishing, and it's literally the only defensive move I do other than my ultimates.

How can I be doing something wrong when I'm doing exactly what you suggested to me? Also I've noticed that some of the times I've teleported behind them I'm still hitting the super armour. There must be a smaller radius for an actual behind attack for that to be the case.

I don't know. Do you have a z-soul equipped that affects vanishing/guarding? Literally all you have to do is press X (for PS3, anyway) before you get hit, or one or two hits into a combo.

I have Piccolo's Z-Soul. And I'm playing on PC.

Finally tore myself away from Parallel Quests to bother finishing the main story stuff. I have to say, I found those last three missions pitifully easy and quite underwhelming. I don't know if I was just over-leveled (Level 51 - doubt it) or if it just felt easy because of how tough the PQs are.

Either way, I wanted to post screenshots from the credits for the animation and music department since I don't think we've spoke much about it before. I know we knew Shida did the storyboards but that's it, right?

Masato Mitsuka directed, while Takeo Ide served as the animation director. I may be wrong but it appears as though it was animated by Toei's Philippines branch. They handled some in-between animation work on the Yo! OVA, as well working on Episode of Bardock and Battle of Gods. I assume they're just a subsidiary of Toei that get used for doing all the extra bits and bobs that they don't want to pay their Japanese team to do. Maybe that's why the animation is so poor? On top of Shida's lack of effort, too.

That might be it, then. PC might be set up differently? If that's it, I don't know what to tell you.

It's not. I have no issues vanishing and I'm on PC.

No clue. I just called up a couple of friends who play on PC, and they have no problem with it, and Ajay said above he didn't either. It looks like the problem is on your end.

Oh...wait...vanishing is meant to put you behind the opponent?! I guess I should have read the thread more carefully. I assumed you just had to vanish at the right time to evade a punch and that's how it was intended. I didn't realise you were supposed to get behind them. I just use jump to do that at the right time. Goddamn. That is broken. I mean, I guess it's cool I learnt to evade by jumping but...that's pretty fucked up.

I mean, it's not consistently broken on my end but I assumed I was getting behind through some other means. I wonder if it's frame rate related. Are you running variable of 60fps locked?

You get behind them when you vanish during one of your own combos, or if you vanish at the beginning of one of their's. It's off to the side if you avoid a beam.

Also, though, the cpu will track you and turn even while you vanish, it may just look like you're going to the side.

There is literally a 8 page article on Steam talking about it too... There are people saying that even the CPU has been doing it. So it isn't just me playing bad.

I've locked my fps to 60. Yeah.

You over-leveled. I was at lvl 43 when I beat story mode, and it only took me about 3 retries.

I was referring to your settings, not your skill at the game. Sorry if it came across that way.

Originally, yes. It seemed like you were saying I was the one at fault. But it's fine there are bad players out there, thanks for the apology. I will test this at variable and 30 fps then. But the fact is that it is indeed broken. Even if it is only a small percentage of people experiencing the problem. Still having issues connecting though. It's even worse right now.

[Rozay]

I'm still trying to gather all Dragon Balls for the first time. What's curious is that the first six were no problem, but then the game decided they would never ever give me the seventh one. I have already beat like 15 time patrollers and nothing.

[Gyt Kaliba]

FINALLY beat the freakin' Bardock fight. Even with my points re-distributed, it still took a few tries because Bardock just about refused to NOT DIE.

[Dyno]

But now... You just have to protect him yet again against that ridiculous thing in the next and final scenario.

And remember, when you finished it, pay closely attention on Patrol Trunks and Supreme Kai dialogue... It is awesome.

None of that is nearly as bad as the first Bardock mission. It's just a typical 2 on 1 fight.

[Hitiro]

So setting the framerate to 30 FPS with vysnc on fixes it.

Edit: Nevermind. Thought it fixed it. But it does improve it slightly.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Yeah, I'm not dreading the fight with Broly near as much as I am what that first Bardock mission was. Broly's at least just one (and thankfully a large) target.

And people think that the mass of Freeza soldiers coming in the new movie aren't a threat. Clearly they haven't tried to hold a shitload of them off themselves.
