ThreadYakuza is the greatest video game franchise ever and here's why (lots of 4K screenshots)
The fiancée and I have been running through the series on our Series X and finished 7, 0, Kiwami 1 and started Kiwami 2 last night. Was really happy with how much she got into it (of course Majima is her fave now), she even made a Valentine’s brownie for me with 24 Hour Cinderella lyrics on it.

I'd love to see how Respawn would tackle a Gundam game.

Activision or the EA DICE crew doing a Warzone-esque style would be dope as well (yes I know Battle Operation exists).
They run a bit narrow and took a bit to break in on my left foot (right was perfectly snug), but they’re my go tos now. Had no issues on court with them at all, too. Will probably try to snag another pair once lockdown lifts out here in the UK since I last saw them at my local Nike outlet. Initially grabbed my purple pair in LA last year, but totally worth it for the uniqueness and feel.

My little RaCast for life!
Just Platinumed the game. Man, what a ride. Loved how all the threads just came together and nothing felt “too much.” I generally played a remembrance/destruction until the lock, then would switch accordingly. Wish there was a bit more history on the Sentinel project itself, but there’s more than enough sci-fi shenanigans to indulge myself in.
Also, I appreciate the extra destruction levels. That mode was waaaaay more addicting than expected. Do wish we got more of an SRW-esque cutscene during the attacks like the attack previews, but I’m good.
And would love to see a pseudo-sequel/DLC based on another pod that took a drastically different turn, considering the extra scene alludes to that somewhat. Try remote play on your PC/Tablet/Mobile. Played it like that on my iPad/PS5 for a quarter of my playthrough while my fiancée was on the XSX with the main TV.

ThreadMobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS Maxiboost ON |OT| Wow, Cool Robot
Butt clenching dodges ftw!Once you’re caught in a melee combo, it’s up to your partner to stop them, which is specifically called cutting. This is where comms come into play to let you partner know you need support. Doesn’t always work but a good partner generally has an eye on both enemies.
Another way to get out of combo strings or attacks in general is to have the Extend Burst. When the burst gauge is at least 50%, you can activate your burst and escape while getting attacked. Other bursts allow you to do this, but the gauge has to be at 100%.
As for a melee guide? Well, it’s from Gundam Versus but the principles are pretty much the same.

There are later skills that boost your attacks by a fair amount, but in the earlier missions like that one, it’s better to use a 3000 simply due to their strength. I got S with V2 on that one after another go.

I suppose from a beginner standpoint (which it was made for his friends getting into the game) it would make sense considering Reborns has more obvious tools, but that’s a unit that definitely scales tremendously with the skill of the player.

If you want to add a new track (s) without “deleting” the ones you’ve added, it’s a little tricky. So for example, you had 12 tracks on your USB folder before... simply add another track to that folder so there’s 13 and import. Doing a clean import with just one new file in the folder will undo your previous import. Doing it the previous way will also remember your custom BGM song settings. It’s weird, but that’s what I’ve discovered when having to reupload songs to boost their volumes.
tl;dr To import new tracks without deleting your previous work, add them with your previous batch of songs in the MBONMUSIC folder on your USB import the whole lot. Don’t import just one track by itself. Yeah, like mentioned above, online matches seem to boost it way faster. I’ve 5 starred Haman and Meer already... Sent!

Including all that from Tyrant Rave, I'd argue to focus on supporting versus trying to go front initially.

Aside from a few straight ass suits, a lot are relatively fun to play as regardless of tier considering how well BN have translated their signature moves from the anime/manga into the game.Haha, just jump into the Gundamnation room whenever it comes online. A fair amount of beginners in there. :) Hopefully one of us posts here when it does.If you've preordered, yes. It runs until 8:00PM PDT today.
As for the double weekend... the times are: Friday 8:00PM PDT to Sunday 8:00PM PDT. So 48 hours for pre-orders versus 24 for non-preorders. And yeah, it should recognize you've pre-ordered it and allow you to play for this current session if you do it now. Finally, there's no access to it outside of those times.

It’s mechanically less complicated than Versus without the boost dive and strikers, but it’s faster and the arenas are nowhere near as big.Streaming only. And when it streams from the PS4, you’ll only get one track (the Crossbone one). Blame music licensing. All of us recording are using capture cards of the sort.

ThreadMy wish of using the Switch Pro Controller on the PS4 has come true
Randomly found this page when looking for better controller solutions as my Dualshock 4s have seen their fair share of work over the years. They’ve felt relatively sluggish when playing Gundam EXVS Maxiboost ON over the weekend and I didn’t really want to get a new one with the PS5 so close as well.
As I’ve been using a Magic-NS (Switch) and that’s worked wonderfully with my Wii U Pro Controller for Switch and PC with no issues at all, I didn’t realize there was a PS4 version as well. So it’s been great to discover there’s now a Magic-S Pro that works for both the PS4 and Switch as a better all-in-one solution! ^^

Whether or not that applies to US/EU as well is another story...

Yarp, the EXVS franchise is basically the sequel series of the Seed VS series, but with obvious improvements.
If I remember correctly, the Gundam VS line goes...They share the same core mechanics, but MBON is faster and doesn't have more inputs like the Strikers or Boost Dive. The series is a fighting game by design, so I can understand why it might feel clunky if you were expecting something like other TPS games out there.

Yeah, closed beta rotated like 3 songs similar to the Gundam Versus one way back. As for vocals, well... you can grab them if you get either the JP or SEA versions... and even more tracks with the Premium Sound Edition.
As for Lupus Rex, it and the Montero and Zaku Amazing are being back ported to MBON, similar to how a bunch of DLC units got backported from OG Maxiboost to Full Boost back in the PS3 days. I can only assume we'll start seeing more units like that come over and possibly some Versus suits as well. Too much of a money maker, especially since COVID ganked the JP arcades for a bit with EXVS always raking in that cash.

Learning how to Gundam can be rather exhaustive, so please check out the following videos below on the mechanics and systems!
If you played Gundam Versus, here's some of the changes between that game and MBON. It's also a good primer on the MBON's systems. ^^
If it's anything like Gundam Versus, you'll be able to use your PS3 arcade sticks as well. :)
Like previous versions, you can import songs to create custom soundtracks! Simply create a folder called MBONMUSIC on a USB drive and import all your mp4s there. Once done, connect your USB drive to the PS4, fire up MBON and in options, you'll be able to set your tracks accordingly!
As for those who are importing the JP/SEA versions of the Premium Sound Edition, here's the following track list courtesy of Google Translate:

You’ll be fine. There’s no universal boost dives or universal strikers (among other changes), but they’re mechanically the same. Versus is just an offshoot of EXVS anyway.
ThreadGundam EXVS Maxi Boost ON coming to PS4 worldwide on July 30, closed network test signups now!
Quatre WZ is a lower stat version of Heero's. One cost tier lower, less ammo, less boost, less health, different EX attack, different attack strengths for some attacks, etc. I think the MBON version still doesn't have the charge shot the 3k version has as well. Gotta play him slightly closer than Heero WZ because of the lack of ammo, at least I did anyway.

Ugh, got to the final boss with Gunner. Got past the gate and was not ready for the shenanigans waiting for me.

It’s not so much the 3rd boss you encounter, but the boss in zone 3-0, the fourth boss you have to defeat. It’s a bit confusing initially because of the way the levels are numbered.

LR EZAmasu (Goku) gets his SA bumped to 25 and makes his leader skill into 100% HP/DEF/ATK for Time Travelers.

And for people who are wondering about all this copying or these "games" will never match up to the actual ones, from a creative standpoint, it's always fun seeing how far you can get with something creative like Dreams/LBP/etc. Of course, you need to keep your expectations in check whether or not you're creating or playing, but doing something like this without having to fire up your PC is still pretty cool.

ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Yeah, it's because they got the Hit dokkanfest later with the updated Uni 6 event as well prior to SSJ Goku.Nah they did not. They showed up on the Tanabata celebration banner, which should probably be our Thanksgiving/Black Friday banner.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Good luck to those that go for them. I might do one or two since they seem pretty dope and would boost an already solid Androids team I have on tap so far.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Correct, but if they still end up being the main main feature like the JP banner, don't expect them to show up on the list for now. Maybe we'll get lucky and have another new LR by then to push them out.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Don't forget Krillin and 18 are now available with the new Virtual Dokkan Clash as the 120% Androids/Cell Saga and Sibling's Bond category leaders respectively.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Yeaaaaaaaah SBR all clear!
Thank you friend Trunks/Mai and AGL Mai for being so damn clutch with the dodges and stun lock.
Time to do USS/Ginyu 10 more times. XD
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Cool deal, glad it worked out! Tbh, I completely forgot what my actual rotations were, but defo had the AGLs in the main rotation with Janemba on the final stretch against STR Gohan while praying to Kami I can hide Broly as much as possible.
At the very least, Vegeta was in one main and Janemba on the other. Cell, Broly and Goku generally floated depending on the situation.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Yeah, if I don't get the right rotation on start, I just quit and try again.
And here are the teams I used to beat said SBRs in case anyone needs a little help with team comps.
Androids:
Full Power:
Pure Saiyans:
Movie Bosses:
Ginyu Force (kinda obvious):
Transformation Boost:
Giant Form:
Super Saiyan 3:
Universe Survival Saga:
Notes:
- SSB Evo Vegeta carries like a mothefucker in loads of categories.
- Broly is a good substitute for a lot of cats if you don't have said leader.
- Obvious one, but If you have EZA Janemba or EZA SSJ3 Vegeta, use them where applicable.
I wanna say USS, Androids or Transformation Boost (after getting AGL Gohan) were the "easiest" ones, especially in USS with the 17 and LR Freku synergy wiping out dudes so fast. Just gotta figure out what to do with Future now since most of my dudes are PHY and STR Black just eats them up in the final round.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Woop. All SBR missions finished. Don’t think this is the optimal Seekers team (probably need to replace Ginyu/Yamcha with Goku & Krillin, but at the very least pretty fun.
Edit: This team is pretty dope.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Doh, Cell's banner still evades me after the extra 50 stones. Just ended up getting another dupe Broly to rainbow him and a finally a new STR Frieza from way back when, so it isn't a total bust. I suppose I can also wait to use my red coins on Cell later... or GoBros... or SSJ4 Vegeta...
Also have one more SBR left, Future Saga. Giant form took sooooooooooooo long, especially without Metal Cooler. But man aside from Tapion handling business, Lord Slug and Ribrianne carried like crazy. But at least I now have another LR in Goku/Bulma instead of getting Cell... ;__; xD
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Ah damn, I've got over 400 red coins now. Hoarding past 500 until LR SSJ4 Vegeta shows up in the shop... or I could get INT Black now... >.>
And damn, Japan already got 1st place app rewards of 30 stones. I can only imagine it won't be too long for GLB to get theirs (thanks France). Also, firing up my JP account, dudes got transforming Trunks and Zamasu instead of Geets and Buu. Nice.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Danke! Yeah I got jack shit old ass dupes across the board until that second run through of the super banner. The next multi after Gohan got needed dupes for transforming Goku and Vegeta and MVP 17. Best 450 stones dropped in a long ass time. I should have enough for another run through of Cell’s banner after the EZAs come in hopefully since I’d like at least INT Black and Buu for the SBRs.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Loads of dupes from the 300m summon, but did get a dupe LR Gohan and a new Future Gohan leader. Maybe it’s a sign to pull on Gohan’s banner. XD
Also got through 3 of the new SBRs so far (Androids, Pure Saiyans, Movie Bosses). Lawd are they hard.
ThreadDragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle |OT| Gacha, Head Gacha
Dropped about 600 stones saved and earned from the EZA and missions. Ended up getting 2 LR Gokus, finally got Turles x2 and dupes of LR Gogeta/Vegito and everyone else on the banner except for LR Vegeta. Not too worried about getting him since I’m sure I’ll have enough red coins by the time he ends up on the shop, assuming I don’t pull him with whatever extra stones comes down the line soon.

ThreadCartoon Network bringing back ThunderCats for new animated series
All things considered, it's not that bad since SU has loads of DB references anyway and I'm pretty used to SD DB from all the different games and manga.
By the time I got in, like 30% of the stock was gone, but they were refilling things like apparel and whatnot. I was primarily after the exclusive stuff and since it was one London item per person (like you couldn’t get two London Pikachu’s, not one out of the entire lineup) there wasn’t too much worry for those disappearing. But if you’re looking for a Wailord, you best be one of the first groups in line. They were all gone when I got in with loads of people still asking.
Anyway, here’s my six item haul.
Really like the quality on the shirt and the tote bag. Fiancée digs it, so mission accomplished. ^^
It wasn’t too bad so I just assumed it’d fly by once it opened. Nope!
In and out in 15 minutes, due to waiting at the register. Smash and grab and snaps done with a vengeance. XDPeople in front just taking waaaay too long. It was nuts.
Absolutely underestimated how long we’d have to wait, even getting in early as well too. They really need to implement a time limit for in store.
If I knew I had to wait this long just by coming at 7, I would’ve gone home already.
Yeah I’ve been to the Tokyo and New York one and just wanted to grab some exclusive stuff for my fiancée since I won’t be back in London for a bit. I’m dying here.
Outside of the limitations of the control scheme, I'm really happy with the gameplay loop, specifically the combo system, T track versions and extra challenges (like bomb # goombas, etc). I mentioned it before, but I really hope they implement them into the main series because it's nice having that extra layer.
ThreadHungarian Musician sues almost everyone, claims the X-Men TAS theme was ripped off from his score.

Hell yeah. I still remember the first time I saw this as they were playing snippets of that intro in the credits after awhile and was like... “when did it become all anime?!?!?” Little did I realize it was the JP opening until ages later on YouTube.
Pretty much echoing all the reasons why you'd have one (active lifestyle, good for work/social notifications, a bit more hands off the phone). I've had a series 1 & 2 and the Apple Watch has been amazingly convenient. Again, it isn't a must have, but I really don't see myself letting it go any time soon. Plus using it for contactless payments all the time is the best.

Worth it when I was single and absolutely worth it with my fiancée. Gas, chicken, milk, eggs, rice, electronics, glasses/contacts, etc. Haha we just did this with ours earlier in the week. Just by itself makes a solid broth
Oh of course. But they'll more than likely be available in the general pool even after this banner versus being specifically featured like Pauline was (hell, she might show up in the general pool as well after this, thus diluting the overall pull percentage, blah blah blah). That's just the coin you gotta flip with these gacha games.
What's been really nice is that there's no true stamina barrier, so you can just keep playing over and over. Hope the trick versions of tracks and combo system show up in a future Mario Kart.
Also, feel free to add me: 4514 1562 8217 ^^
Depends really. Just getting Pauline is already a win from this banner. With it ending pretty soon, I'd suggest to use your rubies for the next one since there will be more than likely have a bigger focus on the new banner character for extra points in the next cup.
ThreadAnyone else annoyed when people insist on using untranslated titles (manga, anime, games) when an official translated name exists?

Just started it this weekend and at least it’s better than New Gundam Breaker!
It’s been pretty fun for what it is, so far, a low-end gacha Gundam Breaker. As long as you keep those expectations in check, then it’s enjoyable. Also seeing all those GB3 assets being reused as well is funny.
Here’s my gunpla so far, GN Bearguy Divider.
Just taking advantage of the big assault coin boost with the divider parts for the current event and farming as much as possible until I finish the story.
