so you want to play dragon ball fighterz but you don't want to get your ass
handed to you every single time you go online by guys you can do stuff like
this
well no pun intended but you're in good hands because in this guide I will be
showing you everything you need to know to play this game properly as a beginner
in 2020 and even up to intermediate level from controls to learning how to
do your first impressive combo when to punish and even how to create near
impossible to block mix ups and crossovers but before that hit that
subscribe button right now with your notifications on because we are running
a new Nintendo switch giveaway with a free game exclusive to followers
of my channel where one lucky dragon will face fan will be walking away with
a console in August so get it done now because it could easily be you but let's
get right into part 1 the controls
I'll keep it brief and say there are light attacks medium attacks and heavy
attacks on ps4 light square medium is triangle and heavy is circle and on xbox
light is X medium is y and heavy is B we'll get into when is best to use each
of these later in the video well the next key button is - super -
super - is r2 on ps4 and right trigger on Xbox so simply it's a homing attack
that flies from anyone on the screen but it's very punishable so it needs to be
done at the right time so now you know those basic buns let's go straight into
combos
so I'm gonna make this super easy for you to understand but this is also the
most difficult part to execute in this game there are in built Auto combos
which I'm sure you know all about where you literally just press the light
button over and over and you'll get a combo however to be good at this game in
any way you need to absolutely scrap and never use that often instead you need to
learn this combo which is a bread and bar combo that pretty much every single
character in the game can perform this may seem very difficult but trust me if
you've practiced this exact sequence of buns and get this down in your muscle
memory everything else in the game moving forward will be a cakewalk and
you will easily be Knights and of people in those first early 4 to 5 ranks for
certain so to begin with you just need to press lights light followed by down
medium followed by standing bystanding we mean just let go up down get this
down and when you do you'll notice that after doing this sequence of funds the
opponent is very briefly in the end this is where you then press up for a K
diagonal but once you press it immediately follow up with light light
followed by down heavy this may seem daunting but generally just treat each
of the funds in this whole sequence as just a bunch of press in a combination
you've memorized so altogether you press light light down medium standing medium
up forward light light down heavy get that down after some practice and next
move on to the continuation you will notice that after that down heavy your
opponent is hit up into the air this is your cue to them super - to
catch them with it being or - on ps4 or right trigger on Xbox once you catch up
to them a new combo starts and it begins with light light down heavy once more
this will again hit the opponent into the air or you will notice this time you
cannot super - to them this time in order to finish this combo off you press
that down heavy you need to immediately press up light light light
the up is used to quickly jump to catch the rising opponent and the light light
light Auto combo smashes the opponent to the ground this same media up is why I
struggled with for a while initially and will take some time to practice so don't
worry if it's difficult but the trick is to once again just picture this sequence
of funds as just a normal combination of buttons to press
meaning treat the two forces one and the combo sequence will go as light like
down heavy up light light light press them one after the other without
trying to do any sort of timing or anything complex now put the entire
combo together and you have one impressive and significantly more
damaging combo than the auto combo that looks like this
the beauty of this combo is that you can start from pretty much anything as long
as you've got that down medium into standing media trunks for example as a
long reaching down medium that allows me to get into my combo from a great
distance the next thing to do which will make this really dangerous is that after
the final light light light it will hit the opponent down into what is known as
a sliding knockdown while in a sliding knockdown this is your opportunity to do
either a level one or level 3 super the command for your level 1 super will
almost always be cool circle forward r1 on ps4 or cool circle forward or be on
Xbox level 3 supers will be a quarter circle back r2 on Pierce wall or a core
circle back right trigger on Xbox additionally when you perform a level 1
super if you have enough are you can also press each of your assistants to
bring them to do their level 1 also for added damage this is also helpful for
switching in another character as whichever sister you call in last you
will now be on the battlefield as sis bonds are l1 and l2 on ps4 and LB and
left trigger on Xbox one tip is that again if you have enough meter you can
do your level one and call in a level three from your sister by holding back
as you press their assist bar now that you have this the next essential move to
learn is the instant air dash
this move is something you won't see many beginners do so if you get this
down you will own literally all of them and it's quite simple all it is is
pressing up forward and quickly double tapping for so fast that you move just
above your opponent when you do this you can press heavy to do an open this
instant air dash overhead will then allow you to go straight into the combo
we practiced earlier for massive damage you can also do this consistently as
pressure in the corner where many beginner players fail to expect it
overhead and it can also be mixed up with a Down medium as in order to block
an overhead the opponent must stand to block what's also great is that
sometimes your overhead will miss but it will end up with you being on the other
side of your opponent leading to an unexpected cross up where you can start
your combo again as they block on the wrong side now let's talk about super
dashes
really and truly super dashes are not really to be used that much outside the
context of a combo the only other time to use it are to close space after
knocking down an opponent or if you believe it will be completely unexpected
the reason for this is that super dashes can be punished by any reasonable player
by simply pressing down heavy just before it hits so for this reason it's
best to just bait out an opponent - super - through use of key blasts or
spaces because when you do land at down heavy you can combo straight from this
by pressing Super - followed by the light medium up forward light medium
followed by any of your special moves which you can find in the character
movement usually will be some form of corsica forward or core circle back
light medium or heavy usually it's best to go for the heavy variants as it will
lead to a sliding knock down and thus opportunity to again use the level 1 or
level 3 super next we'll talk about block streams this is slightly more
advanced but still very doable with a little practice and all I'll tell you is
that I block string is pretty much just a combination of moves pressed while on
the ground while the opponent is blocking plays uninterruptible and we'll
leave you safe after its use the bread-and-butter one which will work
with the majority of characters is as follows and is similar to the buttons
pressed in that only a combo I truly press light light followed by down
medium followed by standing medium followed by standing heavy followed by
down heavy followed by quarter circle lights or core circle key block it will
vary from character to character which corsica movie use and what works best by
experiment as using this block string will be a useful tool to attempt a combo
safely without being punished and in the lower ranks many people will try to
interrupt and get caught as a result leading to a full combo and a heck of a
lot damage
finally we'll talk about dragon rushes in this game dragon rushes are basically
grabs but they are harder to react to and break the most needing almost
perfect reaction or pressing the dragon rush button at the same time to break it
the dragon rush button is our one on ps4 and RB on xbox
they are best used on an opponent who is turtling and attempting to block too
much or good you just throw it in the middle of a string you think they are
respecting you too much you could do your block string finish of an assist to
waste some time all go into your long block string only feeds it into rock
with a dragon rush while you wait just one idea of many so keep playing and
experimenting to learn more and that is it for today's video
that is everything in my opinion you could possibly need to know to start
playing this game like a boss and stop beating everybody without me making an
hour-long video on the whole subject practice everything here especially the
combos and instant air - and there is no doubt you will be winning the majority
of your matches in the beginning but don't fear if this video does well I
will definitely create even more detailed guides for you but before you
