Infinite air combos

[Xiepher]

Why is there not a way to break the air combos? Seems kinda busted to be able to get trapped into a 300+ hit four stage air combo that litterally breaks the characters. The least they can do is give us a meter break (consume one meter to stop a combo) EVERY single other fighter has this and it is somthing that Fighterz DESPERATLY needs.

Marvel vs Capcom, which this game is based on, does not have a combo breaker either. https://twitter.com/Fowztasia/status/957893510300127232 Combos seem to be capped, however.

this is just not true at all

anyways, one meter bar to break out of any combo would be absolutely absurd. i would say maybe itd be fair if it took like 7 bars, or used up your spark ♥♥♥♥. really, though, i think the game is fine and doesnt need any more mechanics. combos can get pretty crazy and last over 10 seconds (even though theyre soft capped by a few mechanics), but its never been a huge deal to me, ive played anime fighters for a long time and i value their existence because theyre fun to do

as always, tho, the best combo breaker is getting good and not getting in combos in the first place

The typical "git gud scrub" line is really getting old. I am truly wanting to learn. Cell, Gohan and Trunks, as well as some 18 are what I am having issue with. The infitine combos are absurd that you can do with them. Do you have constructive advice or are you just here to "noob" bash?

you didnt ask for advice, youre demanding that this game have a combo breaker

i wasnt memeing. genuinely, if you improve, you wont get comboed as often. there isnt a whole lot of general advice i can give you for that without knowing exactly what you do in a match

if youre looking to improve, join a DBFZ discord

There are no infnite combos in this game as far as I'm aware. It's even impossibe as some others have said. You just don't know how to block and defend so you keep getting hit.

[Xiepher]

Fair point, but how do you defend in air once you have been lifted? To my knowledge there is no such blocks? Does this game come down to whoever can get the combo in first? Thats how it seems

[Jaded Alyx]

There are no infinite air combos. You are probably getting hit by CONSECUTIVE combos because you didn't block or air recover in time. The tutorial teaches you how to do this.

[『 Malv 』]

If the combo counter is red, you cannot get out. If it turns blue you could have escaped at some point by holding light attack to recover.

[Xiepher]

So then the question is how do you stop character tag combos? Those seem impossible to stop once you have already been hit once. Its entirely possible I dont understand the game, however their tutorials are complete ASS. I have a job and a life, I cannont spend 100+ hours in practice mode just to get better

You can't block while you're being combo'd. And it doesn't come down to who combos first. Did you not notice that there are 3 characters? Even if 1 combo kills a character(which I'm not sure if that can actually happen, but if it does it would probably require the full team and a lot of meter so it would be rare) you still have 2 other characters.

I'm not sure what you're asking. If you want a way to stop combos, it does not exist.

100 hours in training mode is a lot, but you can learn a lot from 30 or so hours in it.

This may sound a bit condescending but why should I have to spend 30+ hours in training mode just to play a game? Should there not be a space for those who have spent 30+ hours or 100+ hours to play while the people who just want to try to play the game can go have fun without getting combo locked and forced to DC for the sake of rage?

I understand that to be top tier it takes commitement and practice but from what I've seen and read on this discussion group the vast majority of the playerbase has already left because this game is damn near inacessible past a certain threshold online without devoting every waking moment to it.

Needing to spend time training in order to compete isn't specific to just this fighter. In fact, this is one of those most newbie friendly fighting games to come out in a while. And for the record, just a friendly warning. If you disconnect mid-match, the other guy does not even get his win, and eventually your name will turn purple. With a purple name people will know you D/C and might not even initiate a game with you.

That's a fair question. You don't necessarily need training mode for anything. You can theoretically learn everything in real matches. But doing so is a more time consuming and painful way to go about doing that. You can also read about tech and watch helpful videos from people who have already done the work so you don't have to try to figure stuff out in matches, but it still doesn't replace the fact that you still have to learn certain things through trial and error. Do you want to lose matches because of errors? Or would you rather get your game on point in training mode and make less mistakes in real matches? That's up to you. It's just about which avenue causes less stress and makes the game more enjoyable.

It's a fighting game. They are hard. The vast majority of the playerbase are casuals who won't stick around in any fighting game. The game isn't inaccessible at all, it just takes a certain mindset. And it does require a time investment to get better, but it's nowhere near what you think it is. You tell me how much time you have to invest in this game a week and I'll tell you if your expectations are unrealistic.

Being very honest that purple name stuff is not even proven, there are so many theories around that but ZERO proof. I have heard everything from purple name to different colored icons. In honesty there is no proof.

I do agree that it takes time for skill to come but it shouldnt have to be mindless practice mode.
