 Dragon Ball Fighters, huh? Man, this game looks like it's gonna be pretty good. Oh, dude, wait a minute. Are they gonna put super characters in this? Dude, I'm going to lose my mind if they put Beerus in here. He's going to be so broken. Oh. Oh. Well, I've put off making this video for long enough. I even delayed the Should You Play series for a couple of weeks because I thought that balance patch was gonna shake Beerus up a little bit, you know? But hey, we all make mistakes. I delay videos sometimes. Arc System Works makes the god of destruction a punching bag. You know, it's just natural. Regardless, though, the time has finally come to take a critical look at Beerus and ask ourselves if he's really worth playing. In order to do that, let's go ahead and shake things up this week and cover the pros of the character first, then go into the cons, and then, of course, finish up by talking about where they belong on a team, as well as suggesting a few of my own. So the pros of Beerus. Because you're playing such an underused character, odds are your opponent probably won't be too familiar with what you're going for. This could help you in offensive setups that might not be entirely real, but they will catch an opponent off that doesn't know what they're doing. Okay, let's see. Are there any other pros that aren't a result of Beerus sucking? Oh. Beerus' combos are some of the most stylish in the game. And I think this is something almost everybody can agree on. Watching Beerus fly around the screen, setting up orbs along the way, and then tactically knocking the opponent into them for huge damage is a lot of fun to watch. And I'll be honest, that's pretty much all the pros I have for Beerus. There is, of course, the fact that by playing Beerus, you become a Beerus player. That means nobody can complain whenever you beat them. I mean, what are they going to do? Admit they lost to a Beerus while playing Bardock, Cell, and Bass Vegeta? Yeah, didn't think so. Now this may be around the time in the video where you start asking yourself, Dato, wouldn't you consider Beerus' pressure in the corner with his orbs of destruction a pro? And to that I would answer, not really no. The reason why I think this way is because every other character in the game has amazing pressure in the corner, a lot even better than Beerus. You see, the overall theme with Beerus is why pick him when you can pick somebody else that does the things he does, but most of the time is even better, and they're also better in other areas of the game as well. Things like having a single hit assist while also being extremely weaker than the other characters that have single hit assist. Oh hey, wait a minute, I forgot to switch over to the cons part of the video. Alright, the cons of Beerus. I can go on for this for a while, but let's just try to speed through it as much as I can. For starters, almost every normal Beerus has really sucks. Alright, well that's kind of a harsh statement. If they don't suck, they at least have very deceptive hitboxes. There are also just some other things that kind of make Beerus unenjoyable to play to a majority of players. Things like the tracking on his down medium and how easily that move is stuffed makes for a very unsatisfying character to play. The strange hitboxes of the moves also add to this strange, unsatisfying way of playing Beerus. Also his auto combo is complete trash. When you have characters like Bardock in this game that have such great auto combos, it really sucks to see that Beerus was given a flick, a clap, and then a bad crossup, which you can easily see and react to with almost any button. Beerus is also just a character that doesn't work well with the systems at place in Dragon Ball Fighters. His orbs going away when he blocks really sucks for him. The fact that you can super dash through them at all times makes it very hard for Beerus to control space, making them just flat out worse than a lot of beams in the game. And that one really sucks for Beerus, because he actually has a reversal with this. Only the thing is it's completely reactable, and if they super dash you get a full punish straight to Beerus' face, so that's never a good thing. This is compared to, of course, other reversals in the game, like that sweet Vegeta knee and Gohan's uppercut. Man, that's how you do a reversal right there. And can we PLEASE talk about Beerus' down heavy moving him backwards? It makes it extremely hard to combo into this thing outside of the corner, and it just feels super unsatisfying, and the hitbox feels super weird as well. I would rather take Krillin's tiny fist of a down heavy over this thing. Every time I play Beerus with some friends, I can almost, just almost forget that he's bottom of the barrel tier, but then I hit that stupid down heavy button and watch Beerus do a handstand to get punished for it. God, I hate that move. But I'll fully admit that might just be a personal thing. Seriously though, that move sucks. So now you've heard the spiel, you know the pros and cons of Beerus, let's go ahead and talk about some teams Beerus goes on, if you want to get that max efficiency. Just play a top tier team and have Beerus on it. That's really all I got for you guys, there's not too many funny teams I can make with Beerus. I would like to recommend though, if you want to see a good list of ways that Arc System Works could improve Beerus, I highly implore you check out Beiruti's video on how to buff Beerus. I'll go ahead and link to that in the description, I think he makes a lot of good points, and also he brings up some things that I absolutely cannot stand about this character. It is before the patch hit, but you'd be surprised how much it still applies to Beerus today. With all that said, if you're the type of person that likes to play low tier characters, and also likes extremely flashy combos, then maybe Beerus actually is the character for you. Other than that though, I really don't feel I can recommend Beerus as a character to any other type of player.
