This game is just dissapointing

[Code: Xer0]

was super excited to finally get this game and its just been awful
the buttons are way to clunky or they just don't work
1v1s in ranked of casual is just down to if you picked the objectively better character and then land a sparking move, you can literally be beating them until the final bar of health and then they get sparking off and you're just dead,
ranked is just the same characters over and over like ui goku who has a move that just teleports to you and remove a health bar and a half because you pressed the dodge button
episode mode is just tedious sometimes but not all the time
theres already cheaters,most characters are able to spam wide range two moves like caulifia so it just makes pvp unfun
this game is just annoyingly disappointing but it is still fun

i dont remember budokai being this bad mechanically,
maybe im just complaining
it still feels great to beat sweats with ssj3 goku at least
maybe i just need to get better or avoid pvp for a little bit too see if anything gets balanced whether or not it will i dunno maybe the magic of the game is that this is just how theyre canonically speaking
the game has only just come out officially so probably best not to be too harsh (i would like better controls though)

edit: after thinking a little bit my complaints about the characters themselves are subjective really and probably just a learning curve ill eventually get over

but my complaints about the games mechanics not working half the time i still objectively stand by being beaten because buttons simply don't work is really annoying

I was also disappointed and refunded, I want to repurchase as I love DB but feel like it would just be a waste of money. I'll buy again at a cheaper price point but there doesn't seem enough to do, seems it was made to focus on PvP.

From a PvP perspective im also disappointed. I wish they just made a balanced mode for ranked. Scale the DP greater than 5 characters down and scale the less than 5 up and make it its own ranked queue. It's not fun trying to play my favorite characters and having a huge handicap because its not UI Goku, Jiren, or a fusion. I picked GoD Toppo once and was getting absolutely slapped by an Android 18 player but I won in the end anyways cause the sheer difference in stats was too much. That kinda stuff is cool for PvE but has no place in PvP.

it's ass backwards that Ranked takes character stats into account lmao

yeah its definitely an odd choice, considering ranked is supposed to be skilled based you woulda thought theyd leave casual with open stats but not ranked as well

which i guess you could say just dont get hit but when gogeta 4 gets 3 blue bars from me beating him and then all of a sudden he just the 3 blue bar move that gives overpowered increased stats puts me into an inescapable combo that does 1 and half bar of health and then sparking moves the rest of the 3 bars away its just demoralising
all i wanna do is dragon punch people with ssj3 :(

Yes, it always was. Maybe you were very young and your perception was altered by age. But Budokai was never a "competitive" game, just casual fights to have a laugh with your friends.

This is because the system works differently in sparking zero. Every character has their strengths and weaknesses. If you know these and have a reasonable understanding of the mechanics, you can defeat anyone. I have already defeated countless UI Goku and Gogetas with Yajirobi and have been beaten by Muten Roshi myself because the opponent was simply better. It didn't help that my Jiren was supposed to be much stronger.

The only person who can't do well is Hercule but everyone else is a possibility. I've even beat people with videl, characters are the way supposed to be.
