Fighting Stances

[Eguzky]

It would be nice if we could unlock more fighting stances, you know?

Like make them either:
1) You fight like your current mentor
and/or
2) When you max out a Mentor, you can slot their fighting style.

I made this suggestion back when Xenoverse 2 came out, too. :\

I'm good. I don't PvP in this game, as I suck at fighting games.

Hell, I still don't get how I can teleport behind the AI and they just 'Derp' and spin and punch/kick before I can throw a punch at the back of their head...and I'm level 77

I have always had the opinion that if we get to choose a fighting style, that it should be between a group of styles made specifically for custom characters. However they would be based around the members of said race if you do like parts of said style (Saiyans would have the option of a style based on Goku, Vegeta, or Bardock as an example).

Eh, I like if we could pick any. I mean, I'd love to unlock Beerus' cocky, lazy fighting style, and I'm a Namekian.

Locking them by race tends to be a problem like with the 'Transformations'.
(IMO, the Namek transformation blows; you become a giant, easy to hit target for 10 seconds. Your attacks are slow and easy to dodge, and you move like molasses)

This is what I was expecting on XV2 but no, this guys at dimp can't even animate a tail, but maybe some day...

i will love to have 18 stance or fighting style for my female saiyan, at this point i will even pay real money for it as a dlc or something like that

partly i agree but some styles must be unique to races like the freeza, majin and namakian races since they all have moves that other races can't really preform.
kinda like there are outfits that are strictly for specific races or genders.

i want for you to just be able to equip a fighting style instead of it being a move you use to give you a buff for like 10 seconds just change how your character actually moves and fights

Well the reason being is that some styles are innately better than others. They can't just let CaCs have the fighting styles of series characters, as it would quickly destroy any idea of balance this game has. Simply put PvP would be full of CaCs based on the top tier characters with the best Supers and Ultimates they could have.

I don't mean a full overhaul.

I mean..You equip 'Lord Beerus' and now your normal punches and kicks are the ones he does.
No stat change. No damage up or down or anything. Your attacks, the base punch and kicks ONLY, look like his punches and kicks.

I wouldn't mind simply having different idle poses if nothing else. That wouldn't be too hard to do, I think.

That's what I'm TALKING ABOUT. Certain characters have VERY good combos, and giving those combos to a CaC (who generally can have higher stats) is a BAD idea. I'm not saying that it'd give a statistical bonus, but their combos give natural advantages. Furthermore if you mean that it's completely cosmetic (like if the Namekians still had their stretchy arms, but looked like they are fighting like Vegeta) then you'd still have a problem and It'd look AWFUL.

That wouldn't be too difficult and it wouldn't have too many downsides if it was just the idles.

So... What about skills... Some are completely broken and some are completely useless, why is it such a big difference if you could use SOME of the other characters combos, they could just not include the once that are really broken for CaCs

That would only lead to people whining and crying about some characters' strings missing. You know, like everything they ever try to do leads to certain amounts of crying.

And given which character strings would be way overpowered on CaCs or would have to be left out due to varying character models, the amount of tears would end up being MASSIVE:

- Goku / Goku SSGSS / Goku Super Saiyan God / Black
- Rosé Goku Black
- Gogeta
- Gogeta SS4
- Cooler Final Form
- (Awoken) Hit
- Vegito & Vegito SSGSS
- Zamasu
- Fused Zamasu
- GT/Future Trunks (all forms and presets)
- Eis Shenron
- Nova Shenron
- Piccolo (all presets)
- Buu (all forms & presets)
- Towa
- Whis
- Vados

Just to name a few chars whose strings would be off-limits...

As I said some will have to be restricted by race you can't really give a stance with stretching arms or a tail to some one that doesn't have those... But as far as OP combo strings they could twick them a bit to make them more balance just for the CaCs whether its less damage or no easy guard brakes or less reach, yes there would be whining but as you said there's always whining but having more stance options even if limited still would be better than not having them at all.
