Board 8 > Dragon Ball FighterZ open beta zone

(+) Yeah! (+)

Starts at midnight Pacific tonight for digital pre-orders

24 hours later for everyone else

Am I crazy enough to keep my Ultimate Edition pre-order but also pre-order digitally so I can access the beta tonight
---

Waiting the extra day since I went physical. One day wont hurt and I still have Xenoverse 2

Lets get physical
physical
---

And PC users get fked, as usual =/
---

PCs are for nerds
---

Cool nerds
---

No open beta on PC is really lame, but whatever, I can play it on my PS4 when it goes open, I guess.

Super excited to finally see how this game feels!
---

I think deep down I already knew I was going to own this game physically and digitally anyway because this is going to be my fighting game for 2018

Start with it physically first and enjoy all the stuff that comes with the ultimate edition but then down the line when I play another game still have it digitally so I can boot it up whenever
---

I didn't preorder so I guess I have to wait until the day after tomorrow. Dissidia beta is here in the meantime.

open?

Right now?
---

Yep. I found out from a Gamespot article earlier.
---

Does the new beta let you play with friends the first one only match you up with random people and took forever
---

No idea, I just did the basic tutorial. I'm a long way from knowing at all what I'm doing even though I've played Dissidia in the past.
---

Early Open Beta Access downloaded
---

Is it like the thing you said?

Sadly Lord Yamcha is not playable in the beta
---

My goal is to be good enough at this by next MAGfest to compete in the tournament for it.
---

okay finished all the tutorial stuff

now to get my ass handed to me because it's a 3 on 3 fighter and I'll never wrap my head around being able to effectively use assists
---

it refused to put me into a match so I decided to leave the server and join another and now it can't even initialize the network

servers busted
---

shine goofed, never leave the server
---

luckily it's beddy time anyway

good times playing tutorial stuff
---

Goku
Vegeta
Piccolo
Frieza
Android 18
Kuririn

I am bad at this game but this comeback I did made me happy

that guy's beerus was his best of the 3 so to hit him with 2 straight final flashes with meter I had stored was incredible

then getting rid of goku so quickly at the end that almost made it look like I knew what i was doing
---

....no Trunks? What the flying fuck :/

I think you mean no Lord Yamcha
---

I could understand him since he wasnt revealed right away. Trunks was revealed really early though

How did ya'll get access to the Beta for dis?
---

assuming your preordered digitally on PSN/XBONE you need to download the open beta client and also the early open beta access DLC to play today

everyone else can just launch the open beta client starting at 3AM EST tonight
---

I did indeed pre order digitally just a few days ago, but I didn't get the Ultimate Edition or anything.

That still gets me Open Beta access?

did you preorder digitally on PSN itself or via amazon

to my understanding it only works if it was on PSN itself because the early access DLC is located in the launcher for the main game which will already be on your PS4 if you preordered digitally
---

It was on the PS4.

Now I'm considering getting the Ultimate Edition because it apparently has music from the anime that you can play during your battles and I'm all about that. Have they revealed which songs?
---

Mystical Adventure! the opening theme to the Dragon Ball TV series
Ill Give You Romance the ending theme to the Dragon Ball TV series
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA the first opening theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
WE GOTTA POWER the second opening theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
Come Out, Incredible ZENKAI Power! the first ending theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
We Were Angels the second ending theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
Bit by Bit, Youre Charming My Heart the opening theme to the Dragon Ball GT TV series
Prologue & Subtitle episode recap and title card music from Dragon Ball Z
A New Hero is Born background music track from Dragon Ball Z
Solid State Scouter the Bardock TV special insert song from Dragon Ball Z
The Fearsome Ginyu Special Force background music track from Dragon Ball Z

also the anime music pack isn't out until March 1st
---

Ah okay. Not worth it. If they had Ginyu Tokusentai on there I'd have instantly bought it but eh.

This looks like it could be the definitive Dragonball game of our lifetimes, folks.
---

Until Dragon Ball FighterZ Super that lets me fight to Limit-Break x Survivor
---

I'd have paid $200 just for the DLC that allowed me to fight only to Limit-Break x Survivor and deleted all of the other songs
---

I will say this game does lack the complexity you would find in other tag fighters, but it's Dragon Ball so that's kind of to be expected. The most complex you'll get are maybe like....Hit's stance cancels?

everything else blows away any other I've played (and especially MvC: Infinite) so I think overall it's a win for this game.
---

I wonder how deep and complex the game will get as people dig into it. It's awesome how simple it is on the surface and even the mid-tier, but it does need some high-tier complexity to give it longevity.
---

the worrying thing is the xenoverse fanbase basically shunning the game so if the FGC doesn't take to it then there will be problems
---

The FGC will 100% take to it I think, even if it turns out to not be as complex as some of them hope
---

Xenoverse crybabies so upset that they aren't gonna be able to exploit their way to W's in FighterZ so they shunning it. Pathetic.
---

I have watched one SonicFox vid of FighterZ and I'm positive this game will be received well by the FGC.

I can already see 16 being OP
