First impressions of Dragon Ball FighterZ Story Mode

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream was focused on the story mode of Dragon Ball FighterZ, and the first thing I have to point out is that the tutorial fights are ridiculous with how they are repeated constantly. Like why? Shouldn't there be more battles instead of running the gauntlet of seeing things I've already done over and over again?And of course there is the fact it has a 'game board' style approach similar to Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 which I haven't played in close to 20 year.. and I thought that was a neat call back. Then there is the difficulty or lack their of against the A,I. in normal fights, it's not really proving much of a challenge with how quickly I start out of the gate. In fact the loading screens are lasting longer than the fights in most cases.

Still all those complaints aside, I do have to say the story itself is rather good and whoever wrote it certainly played into the memes a bit with how much of an idiot Goku can be. Found a few 'special event' dialogs where rather humorous takes on things are presented, and the one where Goku is justifying why Yamcha should train with him because the later is not married had me shocked.Then there is Android 21 and... hot damn I see why she was everyone's favorite addition to the Dragon Ball lore from this game. Great design on all fronts in terms of both her lab coat and majin forms.  

So we didn't finish the first story arc tonight even after nearly 5 hours because I am doing every single fight, rotating characters to try and level everyone up equally, except Goku who I'm using in every fight. I know there is an easier way to level him up but to do that one needs to have the Zenii to get the Capsuls to get the Hercule Coins to nab the boost to level 100.

Also took a shot at getting an S Rank on Snake Way (the 3 fight arcade run), and got S ranks on the first two fights... but a C rank on the 3rd, which dropped the final grade to an A... so close. Maybe next time.

For the raid we dropped in on BestiBunni was they were playing Magic The Gathering over at twitch.tv/bestibunni! 

So let me get this right, once again Major League Baseball dropped the ball when it came to rain in the forecast, and now the Yankees and Guardians have to play game five of their series this afternoon, then then winner has to go to Houston on Wednesday. This really screws both teams over.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Intermediate Combo #1, Difficult Challenge Combo #1 and Biceps Shape Focus Combo for 34 minutes.

Finished the Resident Evil commissioned short story and picked up one for what seems like will be a renouncing commission request based around some of the recent returns to the WWE Roster. Hey, it's extra cash for games and stuff while leaving my work earnings for savings and bills.

What's green, fuzzy, and would hurt if it fell on you out of a tree? A pool table.

A communist joke isn't funny unless everyone gets it.

For tonight's stream we are playing Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed as it launches today, and that should be a lot of fun. 

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
