The game is unbalanced.
I bought the game because I was happy to finally be able to play one of my childhood games in online mode.
I hoped that with the addition of ranked mode the characters would be a little more balanced, especially in solo battles, but that wasn't the case.

It is undeniable that the classics UI Goku, Jiren, Vegito etc have a clear advantage over all the others
Partly due to the fact that some can enter sparking mode almost instantly
Partly due to the fact that the Afterimage Strike is too strong especially if combined with a fairly fast character and with consistent damage

I managed to climb the ranked mode battle after battle, and the further I went the more identical characters I met, at a certain point from rank A onwards I only met the classic 3 characters
It should be noted that even in PD Battles you see the same teams from a certain rank onwards

Unfortunately it's not fun, it's not fun to be forced to play defensively for 15 seconds, have a 5 second damage window and then repeat until one of the two players goes down
There are many problems, such as the vanish battles that at a certain point occupy the entire duration of the match

I'm just a random player, but I think I'm not the only one who wants a rebalancing of characters and some game mechanics
Furthermore, I was also a bit disappointed by the fact that the first game balance patch was on just one character! And they still didn't get it right!

Unfortunately I predict that in a few weeks there will only be a few players left, but the wrong choices are not mine or ours, simply I, like many, have placed our trust in a project that is turning out to be a game like all the others, with only the "Dragon Ball" brand in it.

Raynn, I am in a similar spot here. Im still rank B, but I've encountered a lot of "broken" characters. I just feel that the guilt is on the people who play ranked. I would like everyone to use normal characters, then maybe fuse them, or transform them. But thats what I want, and people don't really care xD
thats the point to be unbalanced as devs have said so character that are op gonna be unbalanced so yea the strong character are as they are strong and over powered op in the show are how they are in the game its meant to be accurate to the anime if u came thinking this is gonna be balanced game thats played at evo well its not

This game is very fun as it is now. We dont want balanes as ranked is only one not important mode. You dont like it? Play something else.

This game was never made to be a popular fighting game.
It was made for Budokai fans. I don't know if you remember what "sessions" of that were like, but sure remember the Uni' common room and those knuckle heads playing it. Tried to get into it, but they'd just cheese tf outta me with all their nonsense when try playing as my fav characters. Do remember them having time of their lives some nights playing it though lol

It was unbalanced af back then, and it was designed for local play coop with a couple buddies for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggs. This game retains that spirit, for better or worse.

I’ve got your point guys, but i think that if the spirit of the game was to be like the previous budokai, why the hell they needed to put a ranked mode then?
And by the way, telling someone to “play something else” is not a valid reply lol

The idea of the game is some characters are just better then others. There's even a point based system for one of the modes, with stronger characters worth more points and ideally making it so their can be a lot more variety then 1v1 matches realistically could. Granted, you might still see a lot of the same characters, but its at least hypothetically viable to avoid them. If people don't, that is their decision.

characters are pretty balanced if you know what you're doing
its made for people with deep issues, such as the one who reach A1/S with some weirdos strategy's and even avoid fighting with combo contents, instead they would spam cyborg x2/3 or five stupid Sabaiman? i even saw sabai/cell JR team spamming kamehameha until u decide to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ leave?
once u take down any character with df abilities and 12k damage kamehameha from a pitty cell jr? they are no one, i saw some A1 enabling some feature in tournament at last second so people would not realize they are playing against someone who altered any rules before it started. u fall then, and u loose while it was nearly announced "No defeat if out"?

I also saw the same A1 posting their content on youtube thinking there would be a df who sub to suchs gameplays.

I feel like they put in the ranked mode so that players of similar skill would be paired up with each other. But unfortunately people just want to aim to be the very best. Honestly I think the biggest problem is that being set against faceless randoms is just not that fun or satisfying.

This type of game is a lot more entertaining when your playing with people you can speak to. Whether it be a friend group or a Discord server of like minded individuals.

the vanish battles are a particular sticking point for me. either shrink the window to perform them progressively until it's frame perfect or have some sort of neutral breakaway after the tenth or so, feels like fighting the obnoxious Budokai AI that pitches a fit if it's ever hit
