@@Misteranderson123 tbh its not that bad, but skillwise its hard to find and enjoyable fight, sometimea its too easy, too random, or too sweaty, so i just play with friends, and also play a diff game lol
Brother, you are single-handedly saving my DBFZ career XD I cannot wait to get back into the lab and just train and train and train!! Personally, I'm having issues with Blueku's instant transmission attacks. His EX elbow, his kicks, and his command grab. While I can pick up the starting animations, my mind blanks once he disappears XD I've thanked you on a previous video, but I gotta thank you again! I appreciate you for the time and effort it took to make all your informative videos! It's helping me become less frustrated with the game, and myself, and helping me become a better fighting game hobbyist 0_0 On top of all that, it's helping me have fun with my brother! (Who's extremely better than I am, but I refuse to stay down, man!!)
i would also recommend using goku blue's medium grab so that the huge ass green circle isnt what ur reacting to as well as adding in pressure reset points so you don't just block for 3 years and know when to mash
i wouldn't recommend that unless you're training specifically against Goku blue. Evading a command grab wont teach people how to break throws more consistently.
Just letting the CPU at 100 with Ginyu go ham is enough to open me up in less that 10 seconds. Longest I've gone is a full minute. If you set the assists to fast cooldown it brakes the bots offense in so many gross ways. Makes blocking humans seem predictable. That all being said, I still fold to DR way too often.
I've seen this video before, but I thought going back again would be a nice refresher. It does give me a good idea: Anti-meta guides. Any additional tips you could give about winning turns from the big 5 would be so helpful. For example I didn't know until recently you can 2H SS4's 236's
Seeing you block the strings was so rewarding and it's something I want to try in practice when I get the chance. I really want to get good at this game but it just feels like what i practice is thrown out the window once I go into a real fight.
@gravityracergt For me, neutral is a huge pain. I can't do anything to hit my opponents no matter what I try. I really do want to give this game a chance but I found myself getting upset more than I wanted to
Oh wait a thought this was a Dragon Ball Legends video lol that's my fault. FighterZ has been very fun to learn and I try to focus on other things in a match while keeping the BnB stuff in memory. It's actually pretty easy!
I suck at fighting games, absolutely no talent, but I haven't been able to take dbfz off my hands because it's so fun! Finally I have a way to practice blocking! I gotta get 1M BP this week XD, Thanks Acolyte!
I’ve been really wanting something like this, I realized that against semi competent players I wouldn’t be able to do anything, but as soon as I slowed down and tried defending more I noticed I did a lot better. So something like this to practice is nice.
Honestly I thought the aim of the game is to know good combos and mix ups. Not to genuinely learn blocking, but with me knowing this I have a feeling i will be winning games a lot more often. So thank you for this huge tip
My biggest issue isn't so much blocking but tech, I find it extremely hard to deal with up tech and actually up teching on my own. I hold up square and it just doesn't do anything
0:39 I'd say the real purpose of a stagger is more to reset your string. if you think your opponent is mashing you absolutely don't wanna stagger because youre minus. its more useful when your opponent is reacting to the stagger and therefore pressing his button to late. so if you have a read on your opponent staggering you gotta press those buttons.
so staggering is something to be used after you've gotten a read on your opponent. first you want to test the opponent by doing incomplete blockstrings on them and then blocking to see how they respond, do they respect, reflect or mash? If they mash, frametrap; if they reflect, dragon rush; if they respect, do staggers into mixups. right? and obviously as the game on they'll change what they do and you have to adapt to that.
New to this game and sometimes playing with friends locally but they beat my ass by just mashing everything and I get hit all the time xD I hope I can improve my defence with this and keep my anxiety at low lvls
@@MisterAcolyte I know you’re not exactly a controller reviewer but I’ve been trying to decide between the fighting commander and hat new version for the ps4 and 5. Think it’s better or is the fighting commander the one?
@@riastradh I'm a ps4 player. I've had this problem as well so I had my cousin watch me play and he said sometimes when I reacting to a quick low or quick overhead I'll point my stick slightly to far towards the middle instead of bottom left/right. Bear in mind it was so slight I didn't even realise if and I've been playing for years lol. Just make sure your blocking low and not crouching 👍
I’m trying to defend myself against certain characters like broly’s EX grab or super baby’s insane projectile pressure but I do not own these characters. Buying them isn’t an option for me so will I have to just try to find someone who plays these characters?
the best option would be to simulate those situations with other characters! Baby is mostly ki blasts, and dealing with command grabs is the same for all characters!
@@MisterAcolyte alright thanks. I guess Ill try to practice with Z broly but like you said in your video. I’m still trying to get used to specific character animations
you don't have to start out complex! You can start with button,button, overhead - button,button,low - button throw until you get comfortable enough to make more advanced recordings!
@@MisterAcolyte yeah, that's the thing, for some reason can't seem to get any character to be able to do a button-button-overhead without there being a massive gap between them I tried to look it up and all I get are instant airdash overhead tutorials- which I already know how to do- Basically, I can't do the basics apparently- but I can make them do a blockstring on me- yeah I'm doing this out of order I feel
I can't believe it took me 3 months of playing this game to learn I can 6m just by pressing it sooner- 6m comes out faster than even just jumping- I don't have to understand it- it just works I guess
do you mean cross up or 6m? in most instances a 6m cant cross you up. The best option to beat cross ups is to buffer a jump (hit up back quickly then return to blocking) this can get you out of throws and cross ups if your opponent thinks you're going to stay put!
that is when you put a pause in between your buttons! for example doing light, light, wait, light light, or light, light, medium, wait, light light! stuff like that!
None of these terms make sense. It would be a lot more helpful if I could find a video that doesn't have 15 different terms with no explanation as to what any of them mean.
all the terms in this video are very commonly used in the community. If you're brand new to fighting games, I have a video that explains fighting game terms.
wow i was gonna say have fun blocking in 19 frames but then i remembered that rollback is confirmed and then i felt true joy
Yeah just have to wait an eternity and buy a next gen console (unless you’re on pc)

It makes an insane difference in this game when your opponent doesn't fall for the cheap stuff, nice vid aco

Yo I didn't even appreciate the full potential of the fighterz lab before I watched this vid. Tyvm for explaining so expertly and concisely
No problem! Glad I could help!
Very helpful training mode settings. Thank you!
thanks a lot aco! I think ive said it on stream but im the weakest when it comes to defense/mix blocking, thanks a bunch!!!
I suck at fighting games, absolutely no talent, but I haven't been able to take dbfz off my hands because it's so fun! Finally I have a way to practice blocking! I gotta get 1M BP this week XD, Thanks Acolyte!
aaay no problem! glad I could! And just be sure to stick with it and practice from time to time! you might be surprised by the results!
Loved this video easy to understand i never really understood how to simulate combat situations in training mode.
awesome! Glad it helped!
Thanks bro! This video is very helpful and enjoyable to watch
I appreciate it!
probably the best video a beginner can come across, thanks dude
no problem! Glad I could help!

I'm glad I could help! And yes its pretty funny how you can get into a match in this game and say "wait a minute, this guy is blocking!?"
Yo Aco! Great Video man, Helped my defense alot. By the way, When do you stop recording when your setting it up?
glad to hear it! I usually stop the recording as soon as I finish the last input i want!
Honestly I thought the aim of the game is to know good combos and mix ups. Not to genuinely learn blocking, but with me knowing this I have a feeling i will be winning games a lot more often. So thank you for this huge tip
New fighting players usually do but blocking is op
As only a sayian rank it’s funny trying to sit there and block. Until fusions beat my challenge, I give it like 2 sec before I do so
Goated tutorial🫡
thank you I will take this into account
Thx a lot! I needed that
no problem! Glad it helped!
me who literally just got the game and is late to the party: well... i'ma have to figure this out lol
aaay! welcome! I'd recommend starting with my guide on neutral! I feel that one has the most important info for new players!
@@MisterAcolyte One of my buddies taught me the neutral and bnb combo so I'm workin on that atm my guy
My biggest issue isn't so much blocking but tech, I find it extremely hard to deal with up tech and actually up teching on my own. I hold up square and it just doesn't do anything
thats weird . if you hold square or X it should tech as soon as the game lets you

Leave it to majinacolyte to actually give good advice, been lookin for a decent vid on defense
Thank you for the video
no problem! glad to help!
2:35 when I go to this screen it doesn’t let me select the “playback amount for slot” options
you have to record something first. If there's no recording, then it wont let you toggle the number!
@@MisterAcolyteI assumed it was like MK1 where you have to press play back in order to start the recording but now I found out it’s R3 🤦♂️👍
Damn best video ever 😂 I was waiting for a friend to help me practice on D😂😂😂
I use my assist as ground cover a ton. I have a bad habit on not wanting to block to practice and get good at a certain wake up
New to this game and sometimes playing with friends locally but they beat my ass by just mashing everything and I get hit all the time xD I hope I can improve my defence with this and keep my anxiety at low lvls
if they just mash autocombo then keep in mind that theres a gap, and that u can reflect the overhead to reset back to neutral
Good video! When's Zamasu guide though?
Thanks bro 💯
FighterZ training mode hits different.
Wish there was a way to test why I get hit with lows when I’m holding down back. I need a fighting commander the ps4 dpad is killing me
lol could also be a lag thing but yeah, a reliable controller goes a long way!

How do i set the recordings to no delays in between slots?
record method should be set to quick!

That moment when you're so bad you can't even set up offensive options because you can't do them-
you don't have to start out complex! You can start with button,button, overhead - button,button,low - button throw until you get comfortable enough to make more advanced recordings!

@@yeahmaybe1177 it's because 6m counts as a button. So as long as you haven't pressed heavy, you can always go into it from any button you want!
Tysm majin sensei
no problem!
When i try to play the recording the training dummy doesn't move
hmmm make sure your recording setting are set to quick! otherwise you might not have actually recorded anything!
I have a problem identifying crossup of a 6m
do you mean cross up or 6m? in most instances a 6m cant cross you up. The best option to beat cross ups is to buffer a jump (hit up back quickly then return to blocking) this can get you out of throws and cross ups if your opponent thinks you're going to stay put!
"They say a good offence is a good defence" NO, they do not! You got it backwards.😅😅😅
whoops!
what is a stagger?
that is when you put a pause in between your buttons! for example doing light, light, wait, light light, or light, light, medium, wait, light light! stuff like that!
so why quick record?
nvm i figured out why

Wow
ofc a dbz game is all about the training
Or you could just uninstall the game and you'll never get mixed again
