Alright, so check it – I was messing around with Dragon Ball FighterZ the other day, trying to pull off those crazy dramatic finishes. You know, the ones that look straight out of the anime? Yeah, those.
First thing I did was jump into training mode. Figured that’s the best place to get the hang of things without getting my butt kicked online. I picked Goku (SSJ) and Frieza, classic rivalry, right? I set the stage to Planet Namek, cuz that’s where the magic happens, usually.
I spent like, a solid hour just trying to figure out the right conditions. Like, does the health bar HAVE to be at a sliver? Does it matter WHICH character I’m using for the final blow? It was driving me nuts!
Then, I started searching online. Saw some stuff about needing a specific stage, specific characters, and specific attacks. The common one I saw was the Goku vs Frieza on Planet Namek, ending with a heavy attack.
So, I went back in. Beat up Frieza until he was almost dead. Then, I made sure I was in the right area of the stage (apparently that matters too?!). I charged up my heavy attack and BAM! Nothing. Just a regular KO. Grrr…
I kept at it. Tweaked my position, messed with the timing, even tried different heavy attacks. Still nothing! I was starting to think these dramatic finishes were just myths or something.
Then I saw a comment online about needing to be close to a certain object on the stage for it to trigger. It was super vague, but I was desperate. So, I started positioning myself near different parts of the crumbling Planet Namek. Finally, I stood near a big rock formation, did the heavy attack and… BOOM! Dramatic Finish! Goku went Super Saiyan and blasted Frieza into oblivion. It was glorious!
I tried it a few more times to make sure I wasn’t just lucky. Turns out, the rock formation was key. It’s like a sweet spot that triggers the animation.
After that, I messed around with other character combinations. Found out that some dramatic finishes are way harder to pull off than others. Some require specific final moves, some only work on certain stages, it’s a whole thing.
- Goku vs. Frieza: Planet Namek, finish with a heavy attack near a specific object.
- Gohan vs. Cell: Cell Games Arena, needs specific conditions.
- Bardock vs. Frieza: I haven’t figured this one out 100% yet, some say standing heavy.
It was a pain, but honestly, seeing those dramatic finishes is so satisfying. Makes all the frustration worth it. Now I just gotta figure out how to consistently pull them off in an actual match!
