Do Only Idiots Use Emperor's Death Beam?

[RCBlazer]

I swear, some people are so bad at this game, the only 2 things they EVER do is Ultimate Charge and Emperor's Death Beam. If this was the extent of Ranked Match players I would be top of the Leaderboard easily. Do they not have any other attack equipped?

For second I thought you meant in context of EM/raids.

No, this is the case even in PQs. PQ 101, trying to protect Goku and Vegeta? While I am fending off both of the enemies by myself, my teammate is doing nothing but Ultimate Charge, then uses Emperor's Death Beam on MY target, leaving the other one free to KO one of the two escorts. It's all he does!

For PQs the only fault would be his target priority. Normally it's easier with high damage supers/ults.
Hell, I spam Super Vanishing Ball for quick clears.

Maybe it's just one weird rando.

I forgot to mention. He will use it even if the opponent has 5% of their life left, and any light combo or Super Attack would have finished them off faster.

Honestly if you have the option to do so and it involves a random.... just kick them. I sympathize with you on this... it's not an efficient strategy and can interfere with what you're doing, but 4 years of experience tells me that less experienced players go for high damage ultimates and do not understand the ki vs damage efficacy right away. They may spend a good deal of time playing that way until they realize it's not that effective

To be fair I've only ever seen players spam that move in raid battles.

If the fight ends and you win, does it matter if you could have done it a little faster?

I think it's similar to the same reason people often pick UI Goku. They think it's a win button.
Auto dodge and bonus damage? How can i loose?
EDB throws all my ki, locks them in place, and does tons of damage? Why do anything else?

Then there's the people that pick the villainous mode character in PVP because of the charge skill and they don't realize that it's really easy to bypass and they have no limit break.

I don't get it, personally (it seems boring to me to just charge, EDB, repeat - same reason why I don't tolerate doing doing raids for very long), but when you're not really interesting in putting effort into the game, you just kind of get stuck in a beginner's mentality. I guess. It's easy, beginner friendly, and effective for what it does. If someone weren't skilled enough to, say, beat a PQ mission any other way (and not interesting in experimentation or... well... trying), I can see why someone would resort to this tactic. That said, I tend to agree.

probably young kids. young kids 100% do things like only charge up to use the ultimate.

As far as raids are concerned, sometimes I just feel lazy and don't want to think during my grind to 50/100k damage dealt. They're boring content, really.

For PQs and EMs, though, I agree. People are kind of brainless and don't realize that not only is EDB/Ultimate Charge inefficient and sometimes not workable, it's also not fun. I -guess- you can take two Zamasus into 122 with you and spam EDB, but it's really faster, easier, and more entertaining to play it solo and fight the enemies one by one.

I use Super Genkidama/Double Kienzan and Warp Kamehameha for Raid/Expert et PQ and ppl said : "Why u use that big ♥♥♥ ?" Maybe because i loves my abilities ?

[KaleShibata]

I amuse myself on my human female by using the hero's flute/ soul combo to support blasters on my team + Focus Flash/ Super destructo disc for aiding in either lockdown or stamina break punishing. its a lot more fun that way for me and technecally with 4-5 casts of super destructo disc i almost don't need my ultimates anymore.

[iamcorn]

There are players that think spamming Ults is how you do PQ's.

They then complain when they get stamina broken while spamming ults in PQ's.

this is why I PQ solo lol

This is about what I do as well after getting my 100k minimum. I have my namekian with the flute/soul combo, a human male set up with the Hmm Hmm soul that I use. It honestly is much more fun for me than just spamming whatever super or ult that has the best DPS for that particular enemy.

Especially important for expert missions where healing items are unavailable and usually what I do whenever I help in a group with more than one other human player (other than myself).
