Escaping Pressure In Dragonball FighterZ Using The Z Change and Reflect | Beginners Guide 

DotoDoya can you put the buttons. To do this in the description

I almost never use the guard cancel lolz, that's gonna change now. Thanks for the video.

Ikr he sounds like dead inside

@@cezzy_1496 no he sounds normal and in his new videos he's so fucking loud holy shit

Thats a good place to start!

Thats the reason why i suck at these games. I never block. Im working on it. That and remembering combos. Im still trying to find a team to fully commit to. So many fun characters too. At least im getting better at juggling and doing the quarter circle motions (it was hell and back getting the hang of that).

Don't focus on winning. Focus on improving.

The Hori fighting Commander pad is great for fighting games. Any trouble you have with quarter circles will be gone :)

Mega_Manley i am trust me. I already know i wont be beating anyone online.

I also like to do this from time to time!

Not a bad idea, I haven’t even thought about that.

You could also make the ai perform a specific combo and find the window to reflect it. This is good to do when your praticing pressure to know if you have a hit confirm or not.

I can't play online because I use linux (switching back to windows soon so I can play online) and for my training I put it as a 1v3 in favor of the AI. It helped me for a while, but at a certain point you learn all you can from playing the AIs. They make mistakes that no human player would make, and they seem to have an affinity for just taking hits and not blocking. But even so, I do recommend using the AI. If your new, start at a low level, and then gradually raise it until you can comfortably beat lvl 100 AI. Once you've learned our first basic combo, train with those same AI until you've found ways to get in and use it. That, of course, will really only get you so far, so if you want to get even better, play Online a bit. Three or four matches should be enough to learn what your lacking. Take me for example. I'm good enough at pressure and blocking, but I have a trash corner game, and in my first few matches I found I over-relied on superdash to zero in on an opponent, so I broke those habits by trying not to superdash as filler against bots (I learned all this from just quick 30-40 second matches where the connection timed out due to me using Linux, so full matches should really help you improve!) The only real qualm I have with the AI is just that they don't play like people, and it conditions you to play a certain way with habits that can be hard to break. Just know that no matter how good you seem, there's always room for improvement. That's all I really got for any fellow beginners. Hope to see you guys on the battlefield!

Thanks! I'm glad these videos are helping people out!

Yeah it is super useful!

Dragonball super is a ton of fun to watch!

Great game to pick! Besides DBZ the game is very solid mechanically, has unique and fun features, and has developer support. The player base right now leaves a lot to be desired but I think that will change with tournament videos attracting more people.

Same to you!

No problem!

Yeah it just takes some time!

Same here dude.

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for watching for so long and I hope you have fun at the tournament. You can learn a lot there if you keep your eyes out for good matches. I'll try to learn some cool combos and bring those guides

No problem!

I'll keep this topic in mind for a video!

Strange I'm finding matches alright, glad you're enjoying the videos!

Thanks and best of luck with the next couple of matches!

Knowing when to Raw Tag comes with experience, Just keep note on the times it works and the times u get rekt, Also try to develop the ability to gauge what skill ur opponent is by seeing what tricks he employs and what he falls for, It's different to reading a particular move but more like reading what type of player he is and what u can get away with. For example if he's eating every mix up and not reflecting anything a few greedy raw tags might work, but if he's doing frame perfect option selects play it safe

Yeah that can definitely happen, but with some practice it gets easier to time!

I’m in the same boat, especially if I’m in a laggy game.

You should try not have the habit of holding a direction when you don't need to, especially forward One reason is I bet that you do a lot of accidental over head when u wanted m punch. But it will also help execution if ur thumb is neutral on the d pad

Damn my bad! In my opinion they should of just called this the z-change way cooler of a name!

I would really like to do that, I'll need some more time with her as I haven't really given her a ton of time in training!

she seems pretty tricky as she doesn't seem to act like most characters combo wise! i look forward to the video :).

You just have to kind of try your fastest attack and see what works. I would recommend throwing out 2 light attacks and if you get hit you know that wasnt safe for next time!

DotoDoya thank you

forward + medium!

Normally you cant change out when your getting hit, it offers you a chance to blow up your opponents offensive effort for a bar!

DotoDoya oh alright, thank you very much! Btw, not directly related, but I found a neat little set up with Beerus. It's three down special, and a teleport. You can combo into it, I'm not really good enough to find an amazing combo with it, but it's a set up I going messing with him.

DoonDryh watch the video from 1:10 to 1:13.

If you have any favorites you should just learn those!

DarKcS2 no, but if they drop the combo it counters high and low so it's safe if they press a lot of buttons. But good players might just stop attacking and wait for you to whiff the reflect, then punish with their combo

I don't know what system your playing on but if its pc it may be something with your settings, if your on console just make sure to match with yellow bars and above only

DotoDoya Im playing on pc and I tested caual and there isn't that problem, it's only in ranked.

That is your threat level, it shows how good you are basically. Here is a link to bandais tweet: twitter.com/BandaiNamcoUS/status/959640513669349378

I thought it had to do with your online rank! Threat levels make is sound so much cooler. Lol

Len Knee i thought the same thing hahaha

You just press forward and the tag button of the character you want after blocking a hit

DotoDoya thanks

Very good point!

That is exactly how someone turned the tables against me and won tonight

If your getting pressured in the corner level 3 supers are effective as well

Tim Tuggle Someone got to comeback because you did it or because someone did it to you? Also noteworthy that "using aggressively" does not mean "spamming"

Mirikajikaari they did it to me. Aggressively, spamming, either way I fell for it lol

yes!

So there's literally nothing that will get through a reflect?

If dragon rush is that grab thing then no, you can't reflect it. You can reflect beam supers. I find it too dangerous as every super except for krillins have very little chip damage anyways.

Yeah I could've sworn I've tried to reflect a grab(dragon rush) before and it just went through...

sorry! I showed how to do the z-change, but the reflect is just back + the special button

Try making them play your game! Slow the pace down and force them to come to you!

steam has a 2 hour refund period so you should be good to at least try it!

ps4*

It should be one of the triggers, I don't play on ps4 so I dont know for sure sorry!

By default it’s left trigger

You can always go to local events! People on the dragonball fighterz subreddit can even help you find events near you!

very true, you have to be safe with it!
