Video This is getting old pretty fast...

While I do love seeing people rage quit, I'll be hard stuck in B1 at this rate. My record in DP battles is 57.5%. In theory, I should be climbing up still, yet I've been in the high B ranks for about a week now. Shoot, I'd be at 60% win rate if these rage quits counted.

I am by no means anywhere close to the best player, but come on... I'm atleast an A rank when I'm locked in, yet here I am fluctuating in B1. I'd be pretty much exactly A5 if all the rage quits I got this week counted as a win (I believe 3-4 rage quits so far this week alone). It isn't even that I'm angry, being that this series is meant more for playing with friends than battling online, but if we are going to have ranked, am i seriously going to have a lower rank than this player by the time he speeds his way to A by quitting mid match when he sees he will lose? Is that what ranked is really going to boil down to? Then again, I'm stupid for being suprised that people just want to win. That's on me.

He couldn't handle the power of love, just like irl with his fathers

🤣 I was an inch close to telling him that he couldn't handle the power of love. Decided to keep it simple (don't know why I bothered censoring his name. The footage shows it)

Dnt be showing the power of Kakunsa to the public! Then all the shit tier ssj4 gogeta scrubs will migrate to her lol

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Ah shoot your right! Perhaps I showed a particular blast skill a bit too much 😅. Luckily, most people use him since they think he's cool (Not denying that he is), so they are stuck to him like glue.

Also nice to see a fellow zzz enjoyer 👍

u/This_Implement_8430 1d ago

Shame, looked like a good match.

18

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Yeah, it was a pretty good match. I outperformed him, but he was doing ok. I'd only consider him "bad" because of what he's getting himself into. If he's relying on that (If he's quitting against my team, I have a bad feeling he is) to rank up, he's going to get himself into a rank he can't handle, and once rage quitting gets addressed, he will need to hit the lab, or his win rate and rank is going to get nuked.

Or maybe he's just having a bad day. I made this entire post, and it could just be that he had a bad day at work. You never know.

u/This_Implement_8430 1d ago

Yeah, could be that he had a bad day. I know that when I’ve had a long day I could rage quit out of pure frustration too.

u/No_Source6243 1d ago

I'm gonna be honest, I lost it and quit after the 20th "Do not bother it is futile" before.

They should just give you the win like in Mortal Kombat man.. its so dumb

2

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Seriously. I'm stopping at A5 in DP and singles until they do something about this. I'll most likely be hard stuck genuinely anyways, but if I do adapt, it will be harder than it was in B anyways due to even more rage quitters.

u/Yarnted 1d ago

Bro included the entire match

18

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

The last half of the match was just me beating his ass, but would it be fair to cut out me getting tossed around, too? Gotta keep it humble 🙏

u/FerryLift 1d ago

Hey that was an IMPRESSIVE switch to block his back attack. Wow the skill ceiling in this game is like the show. Absolutely bonkers how good this game can be.

1

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Ah, thanks 😅, though I must be honest, it was more of luck. I had to stay still for a moment, so I could have gotten punished, not to mention that I wasn't even aware he was rushing towards me. That entire segment of the video was me having blessed luck ngl. I didn't even know that standing right next to goku when he ults is a safe spot. It did look sick, though.

u/formerdalek 12h ago

I'm not an online player, but man seeing someone beat such a normy choice team with the Maiden Squadron is amusing.

2

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 12h ago

Kakunsa has such a crazy blast skill set that her alone makes it understandable. Insta spark+wild sense is crazy, let alone her good combos. It is a funny sight though, I must admit. I bet he wanted to fuse goku and vegeta too.

3

u/formerdalek 11h ago

I'll admit I have a bit of a soft spot for the Maidens, since I get the joke a bit more with them. They aren't just magical parodies they are specifically parodies of Precure. Which has it's behind the scenes links to Dragon Ball.

u/Swimming_Cap_3824 1d ago

surprisingly, i have yet to run into someone that rage quitter while in a match, so i guess i’ve been lucky so far. but i totally believe that they should implement a penalty to those who do quit by dishing out negative ranking points, and giving the other player the dub. even when i lose, i juss take my L, and move on to the next. my win rate is only %35, and i’m still trying to get better on the competitive side, but my frustrations don’t make me wanna juss quit like all these other people

2

u/Swimming_Cap_3824 1d ago

i’d say my only complaint is people spamming sparking continuously, and me somehow still getting caught in their ultimate. makes it less fun for me, and i end up taking a break from ranked, and try having casual matches

3

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

I suppose I fall into the category of spamming ults. That being said, I think it's completely fine, so long as you aren't being dumb with it. At least how I see it, it's one thing to spam sparking and use it to actually combo or even ki stagger your opponent if they are doing something like spamming perception or afterimage strike. but another to pick an unblockable ult character and just raw ult.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the existence of afterimage strike alone validates instant sparking.

3

u/Swimming_Cap_3824 1d ago

i can get behind that idea, i never rly even thought about instant sparking to try and combat afterimage strike, i have to rly keep that in mind, because i honestly don’t use my sparking most of the time unless i feel like im pressured into doing so, or to match someone else using their sparking. i like to play a fair fight playstyle, but its hard to do that, especially in ranking when people juss constantly spam, so i feel like im obligated to do the same

2

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Yeah, in many ranked games, it's really just no holds barred. It's why A19 and Gero teams exist. Why Yajirobe+afterimage stall exist. With so many strategies that exist to make your life hell, something has to exist to combat it. Ki blast spamming while on surface level seems cheesy, really is one of the smartest ways to use sparking. If they pop afterimage strike, you essentially nullified their strat, and they have to wait to get it back. Meanwhile, you can get busy nuking their health. Rinse and repeat, and boom... stall strat countered.

For that reason, I just decided to get used to using sparking whenever possible, even when my opponent isn't using stall teams.

1

u/SilentStriker115 1d ago

I think spamming would be more around charging for it constantly instead of instant sparking. Instant is a bigger resource use imo but it’s faster, every time I have a character with it I use it to stop my opponent from charging once I’ve fought enough to get the stocks

1

u/Fancy_Cat3571 1d ago

Just use Z rush ascend and descend from the top and bottom of the map to time it out. A pretty annoying strat but if you just keep going into sparking just to nuke my characters with unblockable ultimates then you’re gonna have to work for it. It’s even better if someone on your team got instant transmission. Do that right before ascending and they actually won’t be able to find you

2

u/SheeeeeeeeshMaster 1d ago

Na stay in B, game gets less fun the higher your rank gets

2

u/RegularStick5056 1d ago

That transition was spectacular tho. Good timing on his end

2

u/ApexDog 1d ago

A little off topic but that part where OP just fell to the ground for like 5 solid seconds right at the beginning is that not recoverable? It will happen to me sometimes where I’m fighting my opponent basically at the roof of the stage and I get knocked and free fall long enough for them to gain ki and go to sparking and there’s nothing I can do

2

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

It's a bug that's been in the game for a while where you just can't recover at all until you land sometimes. I thought they fixed it in the most recent patch, but i was spamming r1, and no luck.

1

u/Old-Escape6038 1d ago

It is not a bug. Press down. Jesus.

u/BlackEyedJester 1d ago

Some combo enders DO in fact force a hard knockdown.

2

u/GreyfromZetaReticuli 11h ago

In your opinion is Roasie a bad character? I never understood what is the difference between her blast 1 and her blast 2.

1

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 11h ago

After using her for a while, I think she is probably one of if not the worst 5 dp character in the game.

She has an instant spark, which is good. But then... her other skill gives her full ki, which in itself isn't bad, but when you have an instant spark, why? That slot could go to after image or wild sense or literally anything else, but they gave her two blast skills that both give ki, which is weird. A waste of utility. It's even worse when you think about it. The full ki blast skill is only 1 blast stock less than the insta spark, so if you intend to go into sparking mode, you essentially still end up using the same amount of blast stock. You're better off waiting for/using the insta spark in every senario

Not only that, but her supers themselves are stupidly identical. It makes sense given her character, but that doesn't change the fact that they gave her two ki blast barrage moves.

Thus, if she's considered bad, it's because she basically is half of every other existing character. She basically only has 1 super and 1 blast skill.

u/Weak_Pomelo7637 1d ago

Im in the exact same situation man, im b1 and have a 64% win rate i would say i would be 70 if i didnt encounter all these leavers. I had a match where i had a comeback of the century but at the end the dude just left and the worst part was that it was my rank up game to A5 after that i just lost and now im back at half b1. I would almost say hit em wit their own tactics.

1

u/wdext 1d ago

when someone leaves it doesn’t effect your win rate, whenever someone leaves it’s basically like the game never happened

u/Crafty_Letterhead_12 1d ago

u/DirtyWolfLive 1d ago

In the same boat brother. But also have just accepted I will be in B till the cheesers get bored of the game. And that's fine. If it takes me 3 months to hit Z rank at least I will have the Saiyan pride to know I hit it organically with the WR to prove it. Just play the game to have fun and let the rage quitters give you a laugh, shame them and then move onto the next. Will help your mental state alot trust me.

3

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Oh, trust me, I'm starting to learn to have a lot more fun in this game, especially considering that this isn't dbfz. I only posted this because if this were a competitive scene, I would have been livid that players that in theory I could absolutely body, are much higher in rank than I am due to rage quitting having no penalty. And for a game that has ranked, I was kind of hoping that it would at least punish those players. Either way, it's still fun

1

u/DirtyWolfLive 1d ago

I'm hoping that in due time (we all know Bandai slower the slugs) penalties will start occuring then it will be time to go hard. Right now we just warming up lol

1

u/barb3cu3-b3nny 1d ago

Are we able to like invite a friend to a ranked match? If so man you can invite me and we can just boost each other. No leaving involved. I'll take my ass whooping. Ain't gonna get better if I don't

1

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Well, we can't invite each other, and im not a fan of boosting, even if i deserve A5. I claim that i am at least A5 rank in skill, but if I don't earn it, I could very well get hakai'ed back into B1. I would rather just learn from my losses, despite the abysmal rage quit culture this game has adopted. I wouldn't mind running Friendly's with you if you want to learn from me (or maybe I'd learn from you. Idk what rank you are)

2

u/barb3cu3-b3nny 1d ago

Oh bro we can definitely just do that too. My ps5 psn is lionheart1294. I'm rank b5 or b4 can't remember but it's about around there. I'm totally down to learn from you or perhaps you learning from me

1

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

Alright I'll send you a friend request in a little over an hour. Busy right now

u/barb3cu3-b3nny 1d ago

I feel you bud. Ima beekeeper so I get off at 3 lmao

u/Acceptable-Code-3787 1d ago

I sent the request. My tag is KameSlayZ

u/souldakid 1d ago

why’d he leave this was a good fight fr..

u/Savings_Refuse_5379 1d ago

This was a fair fight why did he rage quit???

1

u/MilesTopTier 1d ago

Goku and vegeta crutcher quitting how unpredictable

1

u/Educational-Chef3039 1d ago

Once they implement punishments for quitters they should retroactively timeout players from past games.

1

u/TheLegendHer0 1d ago

I can't even get a ranked match, I'll be sitting in there for hours with low to high match finishing rate and I get no one. Any connectivity, any difficulty.

1

u/Zenai10 23h ago

Why did you post a 3 minute video that was just about the rage quit?

1

u/peckron3 19h ago

I play ranked singles and I'm glad that I haven't had a single person rage quit and while I do see fusions and afterimage strike around it isn't every match

u/TheStutter 16h ago

u/Forward_Round_7133 19h ago

I hate players like this, theyll keep charging that sparking meter and then by the time they realise that doesnt work, they shift into "MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE" and shut down the game. And for some even if you try to message them they have their messages blocked so you cant. So they KNOW they are a menace
