Video summary

The narrator recounts his experience entering a Dragon Ball FighterZ tournament at CEO, an event that ultimately led him to realize he might be "washed" or obsolete in the current meta. After letting his game skills fade due to the release of new DLC characters and other games, he decided to return to ranked play to regain his footing before competing. Despite the realization that the game's glory days are behind us, with players now facing stiff competition on modern hardware rather than broken consoles, he found the tournament experience enjoyable and filled with good opponents. The video captures his journey from feeling unprepared to engaging in high-stakes matches, highlighting both the excitement of returning to the scene and the harsh reality of having to adapt to a much tougher competitive landscape. Throughout the match footage, the narrator showcases intense gameplay featuring characters like Jiren and Goku Black, demonstrating various mechanics such as command grabs, super dashes, and beam attacks while dealing with the pressure of high-level play.

As the tournament progresses, the narrator reflects on the enduring appeal of Dragon Ball FighterZ, declaring it the best fighting game ever made despite its flaws and the inevitable decline of its competitive scene.

I entered the Dragon Ball Fighters tournament at CEO and it made me realize one thing. I might be washed, man. After so many other games came out, fighters getting what might be its final DLC character. I I don't know. I I just let my game go. And that's really bad because there was never even that much to my bag to begin with, which is why today I've decided to jump back into rank for the first time in a long time to get right and maybe talk about the tournament. I don't know. But man, the tournament was fun. I was facing some good competition, some some nice people. But now I got to I was going to say now I got to deal with a great priest online. It's been a while since my last online fighters match. I'm not going to lie. But I'm excited. I'm hyped. I'm ready to block anything except for double overhead. I blocked the first one, but I started crouching immediately after that. Is this death for my Jiren? No. I'm a spark early. I did this in the tournament, too. [music] Speaking of the tournament, that's I want to just win a scramble. The tournament was a lot of fun. So, it was CEO standard typical Fidian affair. Oh, I'm I'm I got to I got to super dash that. If I don't you you just didn't want to tech. Hey, if you don't want to tech, that's fine. I will be taking all of your health away into a Yamcha level three. You got to guess the mix. What is the mix? I [music] don't even know yet. Oh, I didn't know it. I just didn't want to say it out loud. I Oh, invincible medium. And we don't bite on the on the um air. Okay, that didn't work. Oh, beautiful guard cancel. I'm looking for I'm looking for something here. Super dash. I'll take that. I will definitely take that. Not going to be great. Wow, a delayed heavy. Not ready to guard against it. I wanted to talk a little bit more about the tournament experience, but I don't have the time. This is not going to kill. I think we just go Jiren and we try to go for a command grab. It might be crazy enough to work. Yay! You got to be ready for the mix. I was not doing that in the tournament. That's why I got the place I got. Oh my goodness. But it was really cool just to see the amount of competitors fighters still had. Obviously, I think I'm not going to lie, guys. I know the glory days are behind us because they had us playing on broken PlayStations with one fighter set up. I mean, I still appreciate fighters being there, don't get me wrong, but but man, the glory days are no longer here, man. Do I I I thank you for hitting a button. I thank you for hitting a button. You got to die, though. You have to die. You click a button against my basic Jiren, you're still dying. Now, watch this. You know the rules. TRY SOMETHING. OH, DID I SEE A BUTTON CLICK? Now you're over there. Rush down with the rocks. Try. I'M STILL HITTING IT REGARDLESS. You can't stop me. It might not hit, but the counter doesn't need to be a counter anymore. Take a second one. Key blast up. Key blast up. Super dash beam. I should have I I wanted to do the beam. I don't know why I didn't get it. It would have been so hype. Sit me down. You can't stop me. Oh, I forgot. You can stop me. I always forget about the level one to three. Oh, when you're so low. Damn, so much damage for no reason. Do I go for solar flare here? We'll just block. Watch command grab. Okay, you're an assist. Keep them honest. Keep them honest. Keep them honest, guys. Oh, that's nothing. That's nothing. That's nothing. You know I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there to hit you with the jump medium. Great first game for us. Honestly, I wish if my tournament games went like that, I might have won. Oh, but one thing I did struggle with because I went to that that tournament mostly to play Tokon. Not like, you know, it's not like I had I was like, "Oh, I'm going to win Tokon." But I went mostly to play Tokon. I was practicing Tokon. It had it it had pretty much just come out. So, like I had just been playing it a lot naturally. When I went to play fighters, tell me how like you know how in other fighting games, if you're a fighters player, you've definitely done this. You like you've tried to vanish before. You're like, "Oh, damn. I'm not in fight." I was trying to do like crossover reflect. What is this M? Oh my god, he actually got inside my head so bad. That was so embarrassing. Oh, that was actually so humiliating, man. Why was Goku Black moving? I didn't know he could move like that. He just He put me in the Goku Black show. [screaming] Oh god. Oh man. Okay. Not good. I I'll say this. This this round, not so good. What was I talking about before? Oh, I was basically just doing toeon mechanics. Uh day one of of the tournament with wasn't the tournament necessarily, but I was just playing warm-ups for fun. Um speaking of which, I'm getting absolutely dominated by this instant transmission. Instant transmission is making me look like I've never played defense before in my life. Another level three just killing my sparking time. It won't kill Krillin. It's just going to kill the only thing important to me right now. Like I haven't seen it before, bro. Why don't you Maybe I should play games without vanish. Maybe I should stick to not hitting banish and tokon. And yet I'd be lying to you right now if I said I didn't think I was going to win this thing. Look at the conversions. We're not going to spend the level one. We don't need it. I'm doing this strictly for knockdown. Strictly for knockdown. What's the mix? He won't spark. He's too proud. Dragon rush. He won't. Wow. [ __ ] I I thought he would. I thought he would go way faster. Of course, he gets a combo. This is not launch Goku Black, guys. This is This is This Goku Black is is different now, man. It's just so much It's so much pressure. The beam just hits like a hardy chunky suit, bro. Like, the more you eat, it just never stops. Level one. Level three. Three. Am I dead? I think I'm dead. I I I'm dead to level one. Yeah, never mind. That health fell. Okay, so look, we [music] might have won game one, guys. Game two looked horrendous. Okay, we cannot be looking like that. I'm going to get right. I'm going to get right. We have to get right. That was a great priest performance. But can you do it twice? Can you look me in the eye and genuinely say that you're going to do it twice? Because I don't think you can. Ah, he's ready for that now. I hit him with it twice. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't try to hit him with the command grab. We spark early. Easy block. Jeez, man. Jeez, man. I'm getting it on. Let's go. Jeez. I didn't actually think I'm doing it. There it is. is nice. Okay, I'm not worried about that. That did not That did not connect. I'm going to be brutally honest, bro. That did not connect. How? How? I swear I blocked that. Okay, it's fine. We lost Jiren, but Goku Black's not in the driver's seat anymore. >> No. And then I somehow get two S whatever I got. >> Ah, that's really bad. Oh, he dropped it. AND THE DOUBLE SUN. OH MY GOD. I'M SERVING it up. DQ special. OH, I'M SERVING. NO, NO, don't drop that. Please don't drop that. No. Anything but a drop there, man. Oh, what the Okay, we escaped. How are you not dead? [laughter] >> You can tell it's not fun in games anymore, huh? You can tell I'm locked in now. We I I decided to kill Gohan instead of Goku Black. Why? I don't know. I mean, I should have killed them both. Okay. Goku Black should have been dead. >> Your feet Let's go. >> Let's go. Let's go. Sit. No. No. No. No. No. No. Not another drop. >> Oh god. Okay, that's fine. We'll take that trade. >> Okay. Nice, guys. This is Fighters. I don't know what to Guys, fighters neutral just feels so good. I know I'm saying that post me getting hit, but I I was having a blast there. It felt so good, man. Fighters is the best fighting game ever made. I'm going to say it. I'm going to say what everybody else in America is afraid to say. It's the best fighting game ever made, bro. You can't You can't replicate it. You can only duplicate it. You got to make Fighters 2 drop the DLC. Somehow drop this. That had to be a drop. Oh my god. I was I was I was totally lying before. He actually paid me back for my drop. Oh my god. He's even more mad than I was. Why? Because he thinks he's better than this. I know I'm not. He thinks he's better than this. I know I'm not. It doesn't hurt me the way it hurts you. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. What the [ __ ] is going on? This is the most whimsical game of fighters I've ever played. How did that catch the destru? Ah, this might be death, guys. Emphasis on might. We're below the sparking line, which I think guarantees we're dead, but if you have enough heart, my bad. I thought we were working with Airbud rules. That is genuinely my bad. Uh, we can still win this pretty easy though. >> Oh [ __ ] >> You blocked that. Okay. Okay, he This guy This guy is scary. This guy is scary, bro. I don't even know what he's thinking half the time. Max the damage. He doesn't He doesn't respect me. I got to build him up in my head. I got to build him up so that he doesn't like me. He's blocked every dragon rush. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. [laughter] He wasn't ready for that. He was trying to cheese me with barrier into super. Is that what you were going for? You are disgusting, man. Like I It wouldn't work. It would have worked, too. But I knew it. GG's. That was a great set. [laughter] Look at Goku. I I I've never seen that one, bro. He's hitting the the white guy in the kimono look right now. That was a great first set to start the video off. Now we're moving on to mostly bad, kind of. Okay. I like the name cuz it it you know, that's kind of me, bro. What the I thank you for your sacrifice. And I get one bar off that. I can't believe that didn't work. I can't believe that didn't work. All right. I Something had to work eventually. It was just a matter of time. All right. In the corner, we can [screaming] DP. Okay. Okay. I forgot about DP. Oh, man. You got to you got to defend yourself, though. You're swinging too often. Oh god. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll be taking that. >> Uh I don't know if this kills the burst isn't quite there. Super dash. Oh, dive kick. Oh, Goku. What the [ __ ] Oh, double sun. [laughter] I'm getting a lot of those today. Okay, I don't mind that. I don't mind that at all. I like how this was going to be like I was going to talk about the tournament way more, but low key fighter is just such a good game. Like, who wants to talk right now? Like, I I don't Do you guys want to I should have just exed it. I tried to go for medium. That was that was literally just me. Like, I I knew he wasn't going to react and I was wrong. It's important to Oh, Broly combos almost. Let's go. >> Wow. In the corner, too, man. I can't believe who I am. All right, this plus. Oh, I'm so stupid. I'm so d I should have just level one or or something. I don't I don't know. I I don't know what I should have. Maybe double I should have double back flipped level one. What are you talking about? You did not snag my super dash. The fact that you think you did is making me upset, bro. That was fight. That was a fighter's gift. I'm expecting raw tag immediately. No. Whoa. He locks himself out of raw tag. I'm going to run up and command grab. Okay, never mind. Jabs to the forehead. always be jabbing. All right, now all we have to deal with is base Goku. I'm not really worried about base Goku. Took I'm scared. Okay, it took it took 3 seconds. It took 3 seconds to find fear. I'm still not Shut the [ __ ] up. Never. I'll shut up. I'll I'll shut up. I swear to God I'll shut up. Oh my god. Oh, that's impossible. So this is who I am. >> I was I was going to say just let me have it, bro. You got to just let me have something. Okay, he has level three, which makes him insanely dangerous. I think we go in and just 2M. If we 2M, we win. Um um [ __ ] Why does nothing work against this move? Why does nothing work? And he got a level three. He didn't use it. [screaming] >> I'm getting bullied. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Try it one more time. You should have just do it. You should have just did it again. Should have just did it again, bro. Maybe it would have worked. Now look. Now look. Now you're going to eat the truck disc for breakfast lunch. I didn't even get to throw. I could have thrown like 70 of them. I'll still take it, man. You I I Dude, I feel like he knows I'm fraudulent now. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to snap in base Goku the first dragon rush I get. My very being towers above all. It's all a lie. Oh, well, he's going he's going through something. Hey, go ahead. Try something real quick. My bad. We'll start with this. I do promise though. Actually, no. No. I want to see Goku. Oh, what's up, Goku? That's crazy, Goku. I didn't I didn't know you were I didn't know you went to this school, man. Oh, where are you trying to go? You trying to run? No. You would you would leave me, would you? Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Don't leave. Don't leave. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No limit break. No limit break. I had to I had to talk to him real quick. I had to talk to him. That's all I wanted to do. I just wanted to speak to him. I just wanted to speak to Goku. Anybody else? We can we can talk the old fashioned way. Wow. I actually traded. Yes. Oh, [laughter] I just I feel like Jurro right now. Not Not anymore. But me just spin kicking Cooler away was sick. Oh man, it's it's so good. It's so good. [screaming] I wish somebody could make a game better than this or at least on par with [music] Dragon Ball Fighters. That would be amazing. Sadly, I don't think it's ever going to happen. Oh my god, I'm nuts. I'm actually nuts. I'm nuts. Sit him down. Sit him down. Let's just use some level ones. Keep keep Yamcha in the back. That's the strategy. Make sure you're always keeping some strong assist back there. And now we just dominate. Now we just dominate. I I I can say it, but that doesn't mean it's happening. All right, just like this, we are back. We are back to Jiren frame one. And going back to the tournament, this is pretty much all I was doing. I was always trying to go to Jiren level three and just like instant air dash be I was actually like simple dashing more in the tour. Maybe I should simple dash more online. And I think I think that's going to be it, guys. I think that's going to be all she wrote for Cooler. Beautiful set. Let's go on to the final one. And it looks like we got a rematch. Go ahead, hit me. Thank you. [laughter] And oh, Krillin Rock, I feel like sometimes hits there. I wonder if there's something I can do to make that more consistent. Okay. Oh, nice jabs. Actually, very good. Keeps me keeps me under pressure. Starting to do some cooler stuff. We did see some Broly combos earlier, so things could get out of hand. Oh, actually, hold on. Don't think I forgot about you, man. Paging Mr. Goku. Paging Mr. Goku. I'd like to speak to one Mr. Oh, no. That's Mixie. I mean, that was just pressure. You got to be ready to guard against that. >> Oh, that's just that's just I that's just lovely pressure. And you know, I got to keep him in the I got to keep him guessing. I'm not done with him yet. I like to start it off with the cross up every time. Maybe it'll bite me. Oh, I made my adjustments. I made my adjustments. Actually, I'm good. I'm going to raw tag instantaneously. Nice. Raw tag works out pretty well. But the pressure actually it keeps me jailed. I thought I might be able to get a 2L out there. Instead, I'll be sat down. Actually, I don't want to get hit with a command grab, but I think I'm going to bet it all on an EX counter. >> Yep. Oh no, that's a drop. No, it doesn't matter. We still lived that. We still lived it. Oh my god. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters anymore. Autocombo pose. Evil must perish. Oh no. I'm kind I'm sorry man. I countered your assist. So you have to die. So you have to die. Go ahead. Hit me again. Hit me again. I'll come to you. Oh, and then I just followed that. Evil must die. I got evil. I I got This is the end. Hold on. Can I do it twice in one combo? Oh, I think I'm dead. I think this is it. Yeah. He had no coming back from that one. Let me just Oh, he finally got the anti-beam property off. I will not be doing that again. In fact, I think this is I think this is just two level. Well, not even two. Yeah, that is a lot of destructive disc. Another beautiful game. Can we end it on a final win? Going two again would be very, very nice. I would not say no to that. I would not say no. It's not about what you decide. It's like, can you actually do it? Oh, we had the start. Oh, we had the start. Doesn't matter though. Can he can he? Assist usage is beating mine right now. Oh god, I'm I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. Did that work? Oh, that sucked. I'm I spark here. Okay, I don't mind this. I think I'm just going to level three. I I was thinking about bringing in the rest of the team, but honestly, we'll sit with just the level three. And I'm just going to go He's going to DP actually. Oh, wow. He didn't, but this still works for me. This still works very much. We eat up his spark. Now we can just eat up the time. That was a fail. Beautiful. Beautiful. I don't need the I don't need it. Anything else I don't need. We'll drop the combo. We'll reset it. Come on, Broly. What do you got? Walk on into the counter for me. Doesn't matter if you said no. I'm I'm I'm going to show myself into the door. I'll show myself in. Thank you very much. You got to jump. You got to hit something. I'mma do it again. Hey, how's it going, Broly? Let me punch you one more time. I would never do it a third time. I would do it a third time, actually. Yeah, I deserve that. I deserve that. I I was having fun. I was having fun. Listen, man. I look I thought it would be funny. I thought I'd get the clip and you sat me down. Damn, it is getting pretty low. I'm going to do it again. Oh no. Yeah, back in the day that would have worked though, which is Man, I missed Jiren's old counter. I forgot about Goku. Okay. Okay. We got the hit. Now we have to deal with Goku if we can get through the insane. Oh, he's not doing it. He had seven bars. He had enough to do like start spamming. He didn't want to. He had his time. Now we punish. We just 2m on wake up. No, we dragon rush on wake up. Yes, cuz last time he reflected. I remember that. Oh, he wanted it. He was he was spamming something and because of that he got caught. And that's going to be the 2. Hopefully you enjoyed this video. If you did, let me know down below in the comment section. With that said, I have been Dada and I will see you in the next one. This was really fun.
