Has anyone here pre-ordered from simplygames in the UK? If so, is there a guarantee of SSB Goku and Vegeta coming with the pre-orders? I only ask because I just looked at the game page and it has no mention of them anywhere.

It's just j.H at the end. j.2H is also a launcher move and you usually shouldn't use two launcher moves in the same combo.
You can do L > 2M (this is usually a sweep, it will make them airborne for a moment) > M > j.L > j.M > jc > j.L > j.M > j.2H > j.L > j.M > j.H > Super and it works for most of the cast. It didn't work with Piccolo, Beerus and Yamcha as far as I tried, with them you must use some of their special moves or teleport > special for hard knockdown into super.
Hit's 2M is too slow to normally combo into, he has other routes. He has a few regular move > stance > special combos, similar to Johnny from GG. He can also quickly cancel his stances into neutral but I haven't found a way to combo using them, only for mixup.
Yeah, I suppose I should leave Krillin as the tricky one. He has a lot of potential and the most evil auto-combo in the game if all else fails. (Mash M leads into Destructro Disk. Keep mashing to get more disks!) I did read what the secret to getting a Senzu Bean from his rock throw is. It's deceptively simple. Krillin goes Bean, Rock, Rock, Rock, Bean, Rock, Rock, Rock, Bean and then rocks all the way. Unless he wasted a bean, then the pattern loops until they've all been spent.
Well, the tutorial is to learn systems, story mode is to taste characters. I'll figure out the third one from there.
Is playing with a standard pad pretty comfortable for this game? I really hated it in SFV, but I know that's just preference.
Yeah same here. I am probably just going to wait until release at this point and use my GCU.
I wouldn't say Teen Gohan is an easy pickup character to play honestly. He doesn't really have any abusable neutral tools like alot of other easy picks.
Starter friendly characters IMO : Goku, Vegeta, Adult Gohan, Kid Buu, possibly Krillin.
Goku = He doesn't really have any holes in his neutral, amazing assist, great supers, very easy DHC
Vegeta = Amazing damage, amazing assist, has a DP, great supers, very damaging DHC. I think he's one of the best picks on the roster ATM.
Adult Gohan = Good normals, abusable specials after install
Kid Buu = Press buttons
Krillin = Decent zoning tools, but mainly because ALL of his supers hurt like fuck
Edit:
Oh yeah, and Frieza. He's one of the only characters in the game right now who can just throw shit at you fullscreen and you have to eat it

I think j.M can also gatling into j.L for most characters. So you could even do j.L j.M j.L then double jump cancel during air combos.
Yup, but I'm not sure about proration, you may end up with lower damage in the end. It's required for Kid Buu though, because of his unusual j.M.
This game is built with pad in mind for sure, only 4 attack buttons mapped to the face buttons, with the assist buttons and the button combinations that lead to Super Dash and Dragon Rush mapped the shoulder buttons.
Read this as: "Ima light your horses on fire once I dab on you"
I have never liked playing fighting games with gamepad but when it comes to execution, this is the most noob friendly fighting game I have ever played. Every move is executed with QCF or QCB motion, even supers. The only more advanced technique is using HCB or HCF to use assist supers without using main first. Stick is probably better, but pad is perfectly fine.
I made the mistake to check out the steam forums for this game.
I've ordered from them before and only gotten pre-order bonuses when they were advertised on the game's store page on the site. If there is no mention of the extras on the page then I'm afraid you're probably not going to get them.
VERY nice OT here, looks more like Promo material for the game, than something fan made. Great Job!

Ginyu's theme sounds like it wants to be super-hero Captain Falcon or something. In the scheme of the story, this makes no sense. As a surface level "Justice 5! GO!" type thing, it's fantastic.
Once again, this game's music makes me think of SNES and Dreamcast Era games. Cell's theme is making me think of De Role Le on PSO, and that's always good company. I always describe it as a "What Horrors has science wrought?!?!" theme, and that's Cell in a nutshell.
18's sounds like it belongs in a Megaman game, which... this has nothing to do with her, but it's pretty! Like, oddly enough, I think it has more personality than SHE usually does, and I really like 18.

They sound like one of those people who got blown out during the beta. Playing right into the stubborn Xenoverse player stereotype, too.I made the mistake to check out the steam forums for this game.
fuuuuckk....and i talked so much shit about that leak too lol
I wonder how is QCBs on a pad? I always hated doing circular motions on a pad. With my stick it's smooth as butter. I will be using a stick at home but at work stuck with a pad unless I buy a second stick (which I might do). Pads wreck my thumbs too (only in fighting games though go figure)
Man, Trunks' theme is always like the best theme in a DBZ game and this certainly is no exception lol
Oh for fucksake what a complete joke. Thanks for answering my question but I'm really not happy about this.
In your excitement, please don't forget to think about our fellow FighterZ in Japan who for some reason have to wait 6 more days to play this. Keep them in your thoughts.
Was the release date for MHW known when this one's release date was announced cause that would explain it
As I said, I absolutely hate playing fighters on pad and I haven't used it for years. Even though I'm totally unaccustomed to gamepad I was pretty consistent with QCBs, I don't think I ever dropped one. Same goes for half circle motions. The game is very lenient with inputs. Also, I've been playing for a whole day today and I didn't have any pain in fingers, but that's just me.
I was actually wondering about this earlier. So SICK.
