Dragon Ball FighterZ Beta Highlight Plays

We all have to admit the connection issues of the Dragon Ball FighterZ beta were problematic among other things, but it didn’t stop players from throwing down and making plays. With some patience, people from around the world were able to finally connect and have some awesome matches. Our first highlight is simply a showcase of perfect countering and domination against all opposition

Bang Camaro puts on an impressive display of reflexes with Piccolo. Despite the opposing Cell player attempting to throw everything and the kitchen sink at him, Piccolo manages to outmaneuver and greet Cell with a swift chop to the back of the head. What’s interesting is that Cell used his level 3 super and Piccolo was still able to defeat it, which may mean it has similar properties against other level 3 supers. It’ll be an interesting move for Piccolo players to utilize once the game comes out for sure. 

This next one is really a funny situation for fans of the series and fighting game players who have been in this situation before. 

This has gotta be the coldest looking situation ive ever seen in a fighting game. Lmao #getkype #dbfz pic.twitter.com/GGs7ZPAP0O

In desperation, the Frieza player shoots a super attack at the Beerus player. The super attack in question is based off of one of the most iconic scenes in Dragon Ball Z history, where Frieza launches one last attack at Goku who spared his life as the Planet Namek begins to unravel. Goku responds with a more powerful ki blast of his own, defeating Frieza (at least for the time being.) Here, Frieza is equally as unlucky, but rather than have his blast defeated, his blast embarrassingly missed as Beerus manages to cross the Frieza player up, causing their beam to go in the completely wrong direction with his vulnerable back turned to Dragon Ball’s God of Destruction. In true Beerus fashion, he responds to Frieza’s desperate last attack with the most fitting of rebuttals: a deadly flick to the forehead.

It’s hard to stomach a momentum shifting super move, completely blown, but Beerus’s quick moves around Frieza reward him with the time and space to check Frieza into oblivion.

Lastly, we come across a pair of Gohan players. Do you ever try to get inside your opponent’s head and mix them up? These two were a little too spot on with that ideal.

It’s one thing to call it a “mirror match” figuratively. It’s another to actually be doing the same exact things as the other player. If early indications of Adult Gohan are correct, we’ll probably be seeing quite a bit of mirror matches with our favorite son for the lifespan of Dragon Ball FighterZ. It’s interesting to see these players throwing out the exact same moves at the exact same timing. Regardless of the ridiculously easy-to-use combo system, having the exact same perfect timing resulting in the series of clashes we see here is amusing to say the least. Great minds think alike, we suppose.

With Dragon Ball FighterZ in our midst, we're certain to see even more great, interesting, and hilarious outplays and mix-ups from around the community. The table has been set and fighting fans are in for a feast of flashy fun.
