How to deal with afterimage?

[Hide]

Yeah. I see a lot of people spamming that and is instant lose against the dude. Bull$hit

If youre talking about Vegitos Afterimage Strike then the only option is ki blasts and to wait it out.

Be on the defensive and throw ki blasts when you can. Use perception and stuff and let your skill gauge build while not adding to theirs because when they dodge from after image they still get some skill gauge going up and will spam you with after image if you keep attacking them.

Sparking ki spam

Is it possible to combo into melee off a close range ki blast? My friend does this to me often but we haven't specifically tried it with afterimage active.

No. Afterimage counters all physical attacks and beams. You can ki spam into a grab. Grabbing counters afterimage.

You have a chance with instant sparking characters spamming key blasts. If you can't get sparking you're dead. I've never won against vegeto without instant sparking because, well he's Invincible and doesn't let me charge.

If you are backed into a corner by a Afterimage strike try block perceptioning, it will trigger afterimage strike, if they're mashing press the block button as the afterimage disappears to turn around and perception again, that should give you some breathing room for ki blasts to wait out afterimage spammers.

While afterimage is a hassle to deal with, it's already quite expensive with 3 skill points and disappears after 15 seconds (and no, haven't played online for now, so I don't use it myself). But I think and hope they balance it eventually a bit, dunno, maybe they should reduce the duration to 10 seconds, or even 8 (nearly half of now).

Some characters have an explosion wave skill and some even in there combo like Broly they break after image as they are active in a full sphere, also punch and evade also works sometimes

Well, the bad part is that you get skill points too fast in this game, especially in ranked with all the vanish wars and all.

Pb is, each auto-vanish (or any vanish, that's easy to see during vanish wars), builds a ton of skill gauge, so in the end, the 3 bars cost is not a big issue.
