 Oh, he sparks to get a follow-up afterwards. Oh, because Goku's still in- I didn't even notice! Have mercy! How's it going, everybody? Datodoi here with another round of Dragon Ball Fighter's Ranked Matches. Today we're going to be taking a look at two very good characters and how they were affected by the recent patch. Piccolo, in my opinion, was a great character that only got better. He got access to some new corner routes, including this one. You can optimize this a little bit more, obviously. But if you want to skimp out but still get the knockdown, this is a pretty easy combo to do. Bardock got some changes to his old combos, but those can be replaced with new routes like this one here, which you can fit in some more hits, too. But again, this one works all the same, and it's a little better than just going the standard DBFZ bread-and-butter route. With all that said, I still think these characters are easily top five. Bardock, obviously, has a ton of tools, and Piccolo is just an insane character overall. It's hard to get better than these two. All right, but for now we've got to focus on the match. Go ahead, Piccolo, take off that cape. All right, never mind. Skip the K animation. And we have to go ahead and the Bardock immediately. Unfortunate. Wow, that didn't, that didn't hit. All right, he's, all right, let's try it. Too, way too early. Oh, Gale Clawz just to get me off of him. Okay, DP. I kind of saw it, bad reflex. I was like, if the orb is this close, so probably DP or Super Dash, I'm just gonna option select both of them by blocking. I don't want to get hit by either. That said, I am losing 75% for this. We can put him right back into the corner with sliding. No questions asked. Why, why sliding? Why not go all the extra mile, make it a hard knockdown? Oh, he didn't overextend. I was really hoping for it. Okay, come on, Piccolo. On the big screen in the back. Oh, what is he doing? He's jumping like a madman, dude. So small. God, Team Gohan, you absolute menace. Yeah, I'm just saying she catches me. This could be it if he spends all three bars, which he probably should. Yep, that's gonna be exactly he doesn't even have for it. I tried to guard cancel. Oh, it's still not too late. We're still in it, dude. Just get me out. I'm playing such, never mind. I was gonna say such bad offense, but we are still in it. Never mind. I really am playing bad offense. Okay, I'll get off. Wow, no time to recover. Also, Bardock wasn't up yet, so I couldn't call him out for the cheap extra time. It might be time to pop sparking, and now we can still get out. There, that's gonna be enough. Just enough. Never mind. I gotta remember add the Key Blast now. They didn't really change Bardock too much, like I said in the intro, but the stuff he did change is some real muscle memory, see, right there. It's real muscle memory-based nurse. Still roughly the same character, but if you've been playing this guy since release, it is rough. All right, go ahead and take me out there. I really do deserve to lose a character at this point. I think I should have died at least three times. Goodbye, Bardock. Don't worry. He'll come back. He'll do some Bardock things. He's just, he's got a good lie down for now because that was pitiful. Uh, yamchin. Don't level three me, thank you. Okay, easy enough. Can I please see Teen Gohan? Wow, no rest. I'm really trying to get him to- I was going to say that'll do, but didn't really work out. Medium, can he follow it up? Vanishes? That's going to be super easy. Sliding. Wow, why, he's really- I think we should stagger more against this guy because that was wild. Unless he read that and that's the option he decided to go with, but I really don't think so. I really just think he's trying to catch any, anything fake he's going to be mashing to get out of. That could have been so bad. There we go. Once I saw that reflect, I was like, all right, let's hold vanish and get behind this, dude. Okay, I feel like we're in a pretty good space. We haven't used up too much of our level three sparking time, so that's going to be enough for us to get in on Goten. Hold on, hold on. I'm not going to kill him. All right, is he playing? That was, if he- I hope that was legit because that could have been the dirtiest strat of all time. Like, I'm not going to waste too much sparking time. I got to pretend to put down the controller. That could be like a big filth. Never mind. I'm dead. The only- No, I'm so- What do you do that for? I still might be dead. What is he doing? Those aren't overheads anymore. That's so sick. That crossed me up. That crossed me up. I was blocking on that side, but he- I don't even know how to describe what just happened there. All right, that was a pretty sick match. I'll give it a- I really- He can't be too upset that I stopped because realistically, he missed two chances to kill. That's one more than I missed. So that's fair square, my buck. The limbs aren't long enough. Oh no. Oh no, I'm playing really bad. Vanish? How about- How about we take matters back into our own hands and get Yoncha back? That's why, because I'll miss my midi. There we go. All right, let's prove- Let's prove that we still got it. No, we don't. No, we really don't. You gotta go light there. So he caught me. Caught me messing around. Got it. Okay, it's important to- that we keep sliding here. Okay, really going for those reflexes. Can we get it into an area where we can kill? I think so. Who do we want out though? Piccolo, right? You always want to go with Piccolo. That didn't kill. Oh my goodness. My math is off. My combo game. My defense. I didn't think you'd reflect then. Let's- Okay. Easy enough choice. I just want Gotenks to die. Okay. That time we actually did have an assist. Looking back, I probably should have vanished after the light elbow. Just to make sure we got the kill. But I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out overall. Okay. Okay, Piccolo finally doing the work. Finally getting the work we need done. Now all we have to do is not choke away this 3v1 comeback. DP. Yeah, really looking for fake stuff. What is that? He actually blocked it. Oh no. At least he has to change us out. Yeah, he should change us out. So we won't have to deal with any okies. Remember how I said that? Oh my goodness. He's still- I haven't even hit him yet. Here comes the choke. Big choke. Psych, I ain't letting that happen. Not now, not at- That was supposed to be me. That's a Bardock thing. Okay, okay, you can have it. There we go. Finally keeping him at bay. By the way, I do not know how to do the mid-screen combo. Ah, he's getting too reckless. We still got it in the corner, baby. No questions asked. That's game two in the bag. Okay. So I feel like we worked out a lot of our problems. We're just not going to go for any mid-screen stuff because I- I think they did nerf that. Or at least they made it so much harder because they slowed down the moves. Muscle memory roughness. Wow, caught with the light. Into Gale Claws. Okay. Always keep corner. I couldn't- I didn't backdash far enough. I tried to backdash Keyblast. Didn't work out down tech. Let's go. Let's go get caught. Pop of the donut. All right. Now we're rushing things too much, so we should probably slow it down. Gohan coming. Oh, don't even think about it. That's the normal Bardock agenda. Click X. Guard cancel. I could have caught that. No, Yamcha caught Goku. That was kind of sick, though. The assist were having their own little battle. Oh, he sparks to get a follow-up afterwards. Oh, because Goku's still in- I didn't even notice. Have mercy. Oh, no, please have mercy. Don't do this, bro. Oh, yeah, hate to see. Look at this. He could have killed if I had two health bars. Well, you really forced my hand. He didn't DP. That would have been so smart if he did. But he chose not to, which I will take. Get every bit of damage. We need everything. Oh, my God, he killed Goku. He could have killed- Like, I don't even think that's overstating it. I think Goku, if he had two health bars, would have died. That's how much damage that combo did. Reflect after reflect. And I'm not waiting long enough. There we go. Finally. Finally, we waited. Okay. Two hits. Come on. You got to give me the two. Oh, that was a mistake. Miss Cal. Even though it's raw, I got to take the tag out. Where's the Super Dash? Let's go. Not the Super Dash I wanted, but the move I will take. Okay. I'm glad we actually got the reaction to that. Play it back. No down heavy. That's fine. No down heavy comes out. That's going to be- He has to kill with three bars. No, he can do it with one. For some reason, didn't remember Vanish. In my head, it was Ghost Kamikaze or Donut. There was no- Nothing else. No other move existed. Mmm, your reliance on that move is really getting you. He really relies on reflect a lot. So you can just bait that out. Should be easy peasy. All right, Piccolo. All right, Bardock. Bardock, you could be doing a little more. Ain't going to lie to you. Come on. You can't do that. You can't- I wasn't satisfied with my play at all. All right, we're doing one more. I had to jump into one more. Dude, I was not satisfied at all. That said, this is the literal last one. Oh my god. Damn, Vegeta really caught me there. Trying to block again. This team that he's playing is actually super deadly. I love this team. Goku blue, the rest of the gang backing him up. This is crazy. Got to be won the trade. But no, we're fine. We're fine. We're fine. We're great even. Maybe I should have kept Vegeta out. I'll see if I regret that later. I regret it because he did that. He super dashed right through it, dude. That was a good call. He even died kick. Nice. I could have punished that way better. But at least we got the side switch at least. That was an added bonus to doing what I did. Damn, this does not feel like two frames. Whoa. That could have been a level one. Whoops. I definitely overpaid. Whatever, dude. The service was good. If the service was good, feel free to tip. Oh my god. Let's be Bardock, boys. Look at the range on that LL. You're telling me that's not top five material? Darn it. That was a nice dragon rush. By the way, I've been doing some, I've played a little, some games off camera using Nappa. I was serious when I said I enjoyed that character. Some of you did not think I was serious. I love that character so much now, post-patch. It's ridiculous. Level three? Is it going to be enough to kill Cowken? Pretty strong. Wow. Yeah, that's way more than enough. But yeah, played a little games off camera. I'm close to Rosé. It would probably take another day of off camera stuff. Didn't catch it with the down heavy. Unfortunately, any jumps over so the reflect doesn't go through. Instead, Piccolo started up the old antenna animation. Wow. And punishes the light with a medium. That's going to be super hurtful. Especially when he brings Piccolo back out. I'm going to match. Oh, at least it says six frames now. Oh, big hit. That's, that's huge. Looks like I won't be going back empty-handed after all. I tried charging that up as much as possible. I don't think that wasn't killing in any world. Now the question is, do we switch back out? So we get, I'm going to do it. This is risky. Yeah, it was risky. But we get level three sparking now. I only did that. Oh, Vegeta versus Goku. Name something more iconic, baby. Me not down heavying super dashes. Oh, let's go. Let's go back above. Look, let's go. Can I hit it? How wide it, okay. That's going to be it for today. I definitely played that flawlessly. Jokes aside, though, why did that miss twice? Oh, the new Goku stuff. I'll get it down soon enough. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this, though.
