I realized that I played with my CAC 100% of the time in XV1. While the additional characters are cool, it's whatever.

The story characters will apparently be better balanced in Xenoverse 2

That, combined with story characters having entirely unique normal moveset, might mean that some of them are straight competitive. They were already pretty fun variety.

Heck, I played a lot of PvP in XV1 with Nappa and had pretty decent success, no small thanks to strength of his normals.

Preordered.

It's interesting to see that they actually invested in a prerendered cutscene with Hit. I hope they include the tournament stage/nameless planet as a location.

 

[KHlover]

And there it is. Awesome.

Spoiler

Now if only the figure makers would get off their ass :/

 

[Havel]

All Dragonball characters look the same lol. He's basically purple Freiza in a coat

It's because Toriyama can't draw anymore. He used to be able to come up with varied and interesting designs, but now they are all just bland and samey. Especially the eyes.

And it pains me to say that.

 

[Anung]

Nice one. Hit is dope as hell.

 

[OldMan]

Holy shit.

His time leap move was insane and only pushed Goku to get stronger and vice versa

 

[Ran rp]

His fight vs Goku was animated much better. Toei's animation can be inconsistent though.

Undeniable charm.

I hope he's voiced by Travis Willingham.

The eyes are more of trademark style.

Looks like SHADOW-PIERRE will be as brutal as ever in Xenoverse 2

Nice to see what the game looks like in the hands of a really skilled player. I heard Turles was good but this is some crazy hyper-aggression.

Anyone going to play on Xbox 1? I need friends

I haven't been following Xenoverse 2 that much, what is the story going to be like? I liked the combat system in Xenoverse 1 but the rest of the game felt really off, like the story had insane difficulty spikes and I didn't want to do all these other little grindy missions.

Story is new and not much has been revealed.

The gameplay in XV2 is greatly improved judging from reviews of the open Beta.

The gameplay in XV1 had difficulty spikes because instead of A.I. they just gave the CPU super armor or infinite ki. This supposedly has been fixed in XV2.

Also the grind has been removed from the side missions.

There's a slightly longer cinematic. link

I present to you Frost...with the exact same personality to boot

I don't know if it counts for anything, but manga Frost wasn't evil. He was just a lazy cheating dickwad.

His basic combo incudes teleport punches? That seems pretty fitting for Hit and a good way to do the Time Leap. I want to see what he has for a dodge move, though. Hopefully it's just him not being there and reappearing behind the opponent or something. No animation, just suddenly punched in the back of the head.

Oh, that looks good. They really captured his style.

That's what I found understandable but a little sad. I actually loved doing missions amongst over-powered CaCs as Krillin/Tien/Yamcha etc.
The only problem I find with the fighting system is that melee attacks have zero depth. Then again, I don't know if Budokai really went any further than guard-cancelling either.

Edit: The customisation system in those games were rad though. I loved the decision on whether to stack Super Saiyan forms at the expense of taking slots for other attacks/buffs.

While they showed it in the reveal trailer, I hope the World Tournament stage isn't suppose to be a stand-in for the Universe 6 arena, especially if they ever attempt to do the story for that saga.

 

[Nordicus]

Hit's style looks cool but kinda lacking in how Time Leap is captured except for that special at the end of video.

 

[Fj0823]

Id really like an animation were we only see the player get punched, but with Hit not moving.

That would've been perfect.
