Granblue Fantasy: Versus VS. Dragon Ball FighterZ

[ななみ]

which one is better?

[Nezgot]

I personally don't like team-based fighters much, so I'm biased. But I prefer GBVS.

DBZ was just an assist spam game. I much prefer this.

there two compeltely different styles of fighting games though...

It's like trying to compare SFV with Fighting EX Layer.

Uh wut?

SF and FEXL are VERY easy comparisons to make. they are both 1v1 fighters, who have ALSO had cross over games together e.g Street Fighter EX 1 and 2 EX. What are you on about?

imo granblue, i felt empty when playing dbfz

[KiKoGoTsKiLL]

DBFZ is fun but sometimes I feel the games with teams and assists not is the kind of game for me, I prefer Granblue tbh

[Deathwish]

Love DBFZ, but I am playing this more since it's easier to learn (1 character as opposed to 3 at once)

I was thinking to try DBFZ but I changed my mind when I was introduced to Granblue. This is a much better game and I prefer those characters over screamo anime band of same hair style orange wearing pallet swaps from an over exaggerated anime which I don't like to begin with.

Also if Granblue ever introduces its own tag team mode later I'm sure it will be handled better, especially if its 2v2 cause I could team up with a buddy, discus strategies and combos and go head to head with other duos.
Hey this game is half way their actually because we can already cooperate in the RPG mode.

Seriously, Tag Team when?

They both have trash netcode, so that's a tie in that area lol

I'm not sure about that. I had some pretty good net code going on Granblue actually. No frame drops or delays. The only thing I have a problem with is the connection display not being accurate to my opponents connection.

How are you going to tell me that my opponent has poor connection yet I go in and the connection is just fine?

1v1 fighting game and a team-based fighting game? They're two different things cut from the same cloth (the fighting game genre). Since I started my FG journey with the very first MvC, I'm kinda biased towards FighterZ. That feeling when you pull an 80% combo or even a ToD is just so satisfying, and that's kind of something that would be hard to pull without assists as combo extenders. Though I also enjoy the more simple approach to GBVS. I'm a fan of Guilty Gear games as well, so 1v1 also goes up my alley.

This is the case with FighterZ too, in my experience. I've lost count of how many times I've met an opponent who was shown to have bad connection, but the frames rarely drop below five.

Dbfz puts emphasis on super long combos and assist usage, every character is fairly similar and there aren't real archetypes. Personally i think it get's repetitive really early considering there isn't much creativity in combos and most of the times is better to do the usual optimized stuff over and over. The neutral is also lacking. Gbv is more neutral based, it has way less characters but each one is more distinctive and with more depth, but it's indubitably slower, maybe too much for some people. Depends on what you are looking for in a fighting game. Dbfz is a worse marvel, gbv is a better street fighter but with less content atm

[DJukor]

DBFZ is like MVC3.
This game is more like a hybrid of Various Street Figthers and King of FIgthers.

If you're a beginner playing against beginners than yes, if you know what you're doing then no.

Nah, they don't. Netcode is great on both. I have DBFZ on Steam and GFVS on PS4. Never had an issue with connections or any delays, both games are thriving community wise so that's saying something too.




Anyway, to answer the OP...
I haven't played DBFZ much but I feel like GBVS is the better game. The characters feel more unique and the game isn't so fast but more technical. You can tell right off the bat that DBFZ is the ultra-simplified fighting game.

DBFZ doesn't feel spammy at all but the characters DO feel less separated (as in less unique). I have 4 different versions of Goku lol Here's a realistic reference: I'd say if Blazblue Cross Tag was ASW's MvC2, then DBFZ is ASW's MvC Infinite. That's not a bad thing.

I also like the art style of GBVS better, the more muted color pallette and how characters interact with each other in battle, just seems like it has some small things that kick the gane a notch up.

Before the trolls come and ask: "Why are you commenting on a thread from March? Don't necro" I'll just say, because I can? Because I wanted to share my opinion on it? And then I'll ask why do you have the right to question what I do on the Internet?

All that being said, GBVS feels more satisfying, the dialogues actually mean something in cut-scenes and in battle, the 1v1 's feel more personal, the rpg mode is great and online is still thriving.

I vote GFVS
