The game is often called one of the best fighting games this generation, it has a strong community behind it despite being (not anymore I guess) a poverty game. These factors lead the game to grow enough to get to EVO.Forgot to follow up on this. How the heck we got overthrown by UNIST??!? These dudes just came out of the forests hard. Game does seem to be pretty legit though all kidding aside. I bought it a few months ago on sale
Prediction is that it starts at CEO like last year. But there's nothing concrete about it since the announcement in late January. Only hurting the competitive scene of the game by taking this long...So, uh... didn't they say there would be a second World Tour for DBFZ?
I'm on for at least an hour or so every night. Post something in here about it and I'll definitely show up to get my ass kicked!We should try to get a Party Mode lobby going again soon. If we can manage to get 6 of us interested and online at the same time.
That was fun, especially setting to random.
Nice write up.Here's a little write-up for the pools based on what I know/players I recognize for combo breaker since it's slow at work. my knowledge isn't encyclopedic and mainly based on personal experience/viewing, so def biased. basically listed ppl I think might make it out of the pool, and wrote a blurb.
B1: Doza, FSLink, Kudaytaa, T-Wong (?)
This pool has our own FSLink so keep an eye on it; an incredibly solid player who has placed well in previous events. Kudaytaa is imo a favorite to emerge from this pool. Doza is known for being an early adopter of blue goku, and has some notoriety based on this, also a veteran of other anime games.
B2: Rath, SonicFox
I don't know too much about this pool. SonicFox should be guaranteed, but hasn't been focusing on dbz (does this matter tho). Rath has placed before, and also dropped a18 from his team so I don't know what he plays now. I have played Stealthyman a bunch of times, watch him if you want to see a krillin/frieza team.
B3: Dacidbro, Looke, Tachikawa
Looke is a solid player from Canada, I've played him a couple of times; the people's champ. Tachikawa should be a lock for this pool. I recognize a bunch of people in this pool, but I think I listed the most likely to make it out. Hex is a lab monster, Angelic used to play Mvc3 (havent seen his dbfz), keep an eye out should be good matches.
C1: DracoPisces, Hook
Largely unfamiliar again. Last time I played Draco he was running all Goku. I think he made it really far in the Worlds last chance bracket, don't remember. He's very very good, and not afraid to go wild. Hook should be a lock. In general in the dark for this pool, but I think draco and hook make it out free?
C2: Artwaltz, Fruit(?), Chris G
I listed Fruit because I think I recognize the name, but not sure...Artwaltz is considered the best in Canada by many, and Chris G is Chris G, just won a tournament recently + teen gohan is top tier now.
C3: Knowkami, ZomBmu
Knowkami is a beast, likely top 8. ZomBmu is solid and has placed before, havent seen him much recently. Some more names I recognize like Sacktap, but I lack knowledge on them. Dismantlex I've seen in online tourneys, plays 18 last I saw (I'm listing all a18 stuff lol)
D1: Apologyman, PivotAce
Those two should make it out afaik. Apologyman is a fun player to watch, places well constantly. PivotAce is a blue vegeta player who also has been doing well. This might be his last tournament. Jmcrofts is in this pool, he's a content creator who plays krillin.
D2: Frank lotion, LazyMattman, N'ego
I listed frank lotion because of the name, great name. This pool is interesting as only LazyMattman really stands out as a person I feel confident about leaving the pool. There's more names in here like tuboware (commentator) and vato (does a lot of tods on twitter), but it's hard to say who else is making it out. N'ego is a solid canadian player.
D3: GO1
I only know GO1 (likely to win tournament) and ibukunle here.
E1: Des!, SubatomicSabers, stl_lotus
Des is one of the best Canadian players. Subatomic is good enough to make top 8. Lotus is very solid as well.
E2: AlukardNY, BeyodToxin, Cloud805, superkamiguru (kami99)
Alukard has been putting in work and plays Frieza. Toxin has mainly been playing MK, used to play 18 wonder if he still does. Kami is a top canadian player, keep an eye on him. Can place very high imo, won GOML last week. Cloud805 consistently gets 9th place in dbz. The story of this pool is underdog Alukard trying to claw his way out, too bad it apparently won't be streamed but NY is cheering for him.
E3: Fashow, Zeroq, Yohosie, Globo
No one here really sticks out to me as a certainty to leave the pool.
H1: 2tall, Jayto, Lord Knight
2tall is a solid NY player. Jayto is a solid a18 player who is sponsored by hitbox, one of the few who will step up to bat for current a18 (just to get it out there, I think she is solidly rated on most tier lists but a lot of ppl interpret her placing as her being bad, which I don't agree with). Lord Knight has been putting in a lot of work, think he will be nicely prepared for this pool.
H2: dmon, dogura, sage
dmon is another top canadian player, canada is pretty good at this game tbh. dogura is likely top 8. sage is also vey good, you can tell I am losing steam by now, just as I will be when I watch hours of combo breaker this weekend.
H3: dekillsage, xylophone
I think those two are a lock to make it out of pools. dekillsage likely top 8, but I mean...xylo could too, another top canadian player.
H4: SQ, supernoon, coolkid93
ok, I'm done, again my knowledge is incomplete so I might be missing some killers in there.
Damn no Kazunoko. Hopefully ChrisG does well, Teen Gohan baby!!
Yeah his Tien is pretty dope. Shame about Yamcha being the best glue in the game, him n Goku I guess.Yeah Chris's team of Teen Gohan, Yamcha and Tien have fucking fantastic chemistry. Good to see him go back to TG and Tien da shotgun.
dude I hope you work for Bandai Namco/FGC. If not they need to hire you. But I reckon they cant afford youCombo Breaker pools starting here: https://www.twitch.tv/funkyp

Just picked up a brand new controller too, so I've got no excuse if things start going bad for me lol
Same as on here. Just friend requested someone whom I'm assuming was you.
Yeah, got a good laugh out of that one. I don't pretend to be good (I drop combos left and right and have no synergy between my characters) but it. Never ceases to amaze me how fragile some of these people can be when even the littlest thing starts going wrong for their team.Damn I can't believe that second dude had the balls to RQ when he played Bardock the way he did.

Oh, yeah look at that. Same name, but with a capital L and C. Wonderful, I'll worry about that later then lolPretty sure you friend requested the wrong person lol ill send you one
My mission to rely less on Hit to win every match has finally started to bear fruit!
There's just something about a good solid jab that connects from half way across the screen that no amount of flashy combos or useful assists will ever be able to replace for me...

You in the discord? I'm crazy stupid rusty and free but I'd be downGood to see World Tour news coming soon. Doubtful we'll get Janembababa by E3, huh?
Also, up for any matches if anyone is available on PS4
Don't know why they didn't attach more information to such a good trailer... Anyway, I'm happy this is finally happening but I'm not expecting much improvement due to how they handled this so far. Waiting all these months, finally confirming with only a month to the first event. We shall see...
Sorry for the delay on the character usage list, haven't had the time.

FFUUUUU you posted at 7pm. I think I was still sparring with fslink at that time
What they need to improve?
Yep!! That was good funGood to catch you and play again. I'd just been grinding to get my Platinum (which I finally got woo) Fun playing as always
For starters a point system. It sucks having to win a tournament full of killers or an insane marathon qualifier to qualify. They need to reward consistency, which also creates interesting storylines in regards to secondary players.
Thank you for the in-depth, concise look at all this.It's a Goku World(game)!More than a month and a half of tournaments and something is certain, if you're not playing a Goku, you're doing something wrong and there's a lot of them to pick from.
Kid Goku is the most successful DLC character in such a short period of time.
A bunch of characters made it's debut, only Mr. Boo remains as an unused character.
On the Rise:
All the Goku's - SSJ Goku has cemented it's place as the most used character tying up with Bardock, Kid Goku came out and exploded, SSB Goku has shown up at a decent rate and even Base Goku popped up a couple of times.
Broly and Goku Black - The first is starting to show up once in a while at an increasing rate. The second suffers from region/area preference, some players still value the character.
Tenshinhan and Teen Gohan: Both stay steady like last time.
Trunks - He sneaks in but he's showing up enough to deserve a mention.
On the Low:
Cell, SSJ Vegeta and Gotenks - Former top tiers struggling to appear, SSJ Vegeta still shines here and there but I shoved him here due to his previous importance.
Piccolo - It's consideration as a high tier doesn't translate into appearances. Basically if Hook or Apology Man aren't in a tournament, the character is a rarity.
Bardock - Don't get me wrong the character is still ridiculously used. But it let SSJ Goku catch up and I sense Kid Goku might replace him for some players.
