What Ifs?

[SuperSwine]

Am I missing something or are the What Ifs these custom battles?
They dont really appear to be what I expected it to be.

I dont see any of the freedom to create any story from it, to be honest, it doesn't even seem to reach Parallel Quest level of different.
It's just a predetermined set of set ups.

Am I not creative enough to make full use of it? Maybe I need to finish the episodes to have more freedom?

Honestly not trying to flame or ♥♥♥♥, I just wanna understand.

For reference, this is literally my 1st contact with the game. This includes everything, I havent watched a single bit of content (leak or otherwise) until I opened the game for myself.

Custom battles are just that, you can make stories up and you do get more options I’m pretty sure as you get further into the game

What ifs are things you can do in episode battles, the saiyan saga has two large what if paths for example that drastically changes the story

the what ifs are the alternate routes you can do in the story mode. the custom battles are exactly that custom battles people can setup and upload for others to play. In order to unlock what ifs you gotta meat certain criteria in the story You can see the different routes if you look at the map for each character. There is the main red lines which is the "canon" route and all the blue dot ones are alternate ones some are slight char changes for the fights some lead to whole new story outcomes

Generally the "What if" episodes tend to be harder then the normal route. A good example of a "What if" route is if you can beat Raditz before a certain time has elapsed. If you can this will unlock an alternate story route for the saiyan arc that results in a different ending from the original

the what ifs are in the episodes implemented, you have mission where you can choose, then you go the alternative way down till it ends, you go back to the decision mission and persue with the Lore accurate Timeline
