How come there are no threads about Androids??? [Archive]

Androids ruled BT3! they couldn't get stunned, their ki was charging fast, 17 and 18 had an easily spammed and very useful barrier. They dealt good damage, and had really strong Super Attacks. (18's was an unblockable double discs, and 17 had a double energy blast which was one of the fastest super attack to cast in the game).

This thread is dedicated to the players who like androids, and who are wondering what will happened to them in RB...

First question: Are there still any barrier for androids in RB?

The problem with Androids like you said . . is that they are mainly just a massive spam fest. A very easy spam fest in fact for poor players who don't know how to play tenkaichi and are easily beaten and then D/C half the time.

Speaking of androids, I REALLY hope accel dance looks good this time, even though future gohan isn't in. They could just have the goku gi as an alternate costume for adult gohan, and let you turn super saiyan in it, next best thing..

I really liked using androids 19 and 20 because I could regain health and make them lose ki by grabbing or using my ultimate attack. Then they couldn't fire any ki or blasts at me or I would just get energy. It was a nice change of pace to play like that and not just power up the whole time....now if they'd just make those 2 not suck quite so bad melee-wise and give them better looking b2 attacks.

Never really liked 18 or 17, 16 is okay, and 13 is my favorite. It'll be interesting to see what they do with them though.

I HATEd the androids b/c they COULDNT power up.

Id rather hit the charge button than wait around for their ki to fill up.

I will say, I'm am SERIOUSLY going to miss Super 17.

I imagine he'll show up in the sequel, and I hope they finally bring in his signature attack, the Flash Bomb.

It's obvious that U never played against someone who plays androids.

(when I say plays, i mean really "plays". not a casual player who just plays androids sometimes).

It will be my pleasure to be the one to make you quit now whats your PSN and the rest is just a matter of time and by time I mean the game releasing and you get the beating of your life and by the info I've gathered most who don't like them are energy wasters :D

I forgot about cell since he's a android he is my favorite. Hell fighter is second. I just wish they would make a cap that allows a android to power up.

I like androids. They force the player to be a LOT more aggressive.

The autoki is a great thing for the following reasons

1) You don't need to waste time sitting around charging ki, it does it automatically while you fight

2) Fighting melee makes them raise their ki faster, so the auto ki both causes, and profits from, more aggressive fighters, who need to melee more.

i love the ki charge - - - - they do it in the comic and the manga so why not do it in the game. Its realistic (pertaining to the DBZ reality not actual reality)

17 and 18 had an easily spammed and very useful barrier.

Correction, 17 had a good barrier, 18's had lots of wind-down lag and couldn't be spammed continuously unless, properly timed (and if you had been storing blast stocks). However, it left her open for an incredible amount of time IIRC and she was even still in lag when the barrier was only barely visible. By the time they were out of stun, she was still lagging a bit, it's not until the opponent has a chance to close in on her does the wind-down end. Depending on what the opponent did, decided whether she did it again or not.

17's had less wind-down if I recall, at least, not as much as 18. IMO, both of theirs were inferior to SSJ Future Gohan's though or Tapion's.

Regardless, I hope the barriers were given the proper treatment since there are no blast stocks in this game, they better take a good amount of Ki away.

I disagree.

It makes them unique & is a balancing factor for them regaining Ki. If you don't like that, don't use it. There's plenty of people who like that idea (myself included) as it makes fighting them a lot more... difficult than any other character simply because you need to change up strategies. Not only that, but, it encourages the people who use the Androids to do close range combat to gain Ki and then combo into their blast moves/rushes like everyone else.

Making them like everyone else just makes them unattractive, believe me, nobody will play them if they charge like everyone else... there would be no reason to, especially if their move pool sucks (which it has in the past, the only GOOD reason to play them is for that unique Ki charging difference).

I like playing as the androids in tenkaichi 3! Android 17, Perfect Cell and Super 17 was one of my best chars.

Very disappointed that Super 17 isn't in raging blast though.

QTF - Quoting the Failure

I can understand mbauman122 having the typo, since he didn't know what it meant, but then you even explained it and still got it wrong.:p

As for Androids, I'm with whoever was on the first page saying they liked 19 and 20. While the others (not including Cell, he works like a standard fighter.) are fun to use occasionally, 19 and 20 are just more fun in my opinion, and their ki absorption adds yet another, and mostly required, defensive ability to play around with. I always liked barraging my opponents with ki blasts, only to have them fire a B2 at me that they are sure will hit, only to have it absorbed so I'm more than able to retaliate with my own B2.

Agreed. My friend got to the point where he refused to play if I picked one of them lol.

I think my favorite thing about using them was if you did a grab or got your ultimate in on them, they would lose their max power mode. So instead of running away when someone got into max power, i just tried to evade them quickly and do a grab. Super 17 was fun too, but he couldnt steal life energy.

They need to make it so that they can absorb ALL energy attacks though, I dont think it worked on ultimates.

It worked with all beam/blast ultimates.

Ki absorbing would be a really useless ability in RB. I wouldn't balance the fact that you can't charge ki since in RB a few combo hit are enough almost to full a ki bar.

I guess they would give other abilities.

11-04-2009, 06:49 PM

If they could absorb anything, they would have the ultimate defense against spammers... they could deflect, teleport, move out of the way, block, AND absorb?! That would be too insane, I'm sorry, too imbalanced for two characters...
Yeah, the characters who can't gather ANY ki at all unless they punch you or you're stupid enough to fire energy at them don't need anything to help them out.

It's not imbalanced, you still have to be ready for the attack and set to absorb it. It's no different than EVERY character in the game having the ability to deflect ultimates if they are ready for it. You act like all those options makes it any different, you can only do one at once you know. If you're stupid enough to fire waste your ultimate on one of these androids with that specific ability when they are fully ready to absorb it, you deserve to have it absorbed.

I hope you already don't like Cell, b/c now you're gonna see a lot of him, and hate him more.

Other than that, Androids have their pros and cons, can't say they were bad to use, you just have to excel at using one, I mean one's like 16,17, and 18.

And which androids are useless? The absorption models, or the one's like 17 (infinite energy models)?

Super 17's my favorite (Hell's Storm FTW), I like using #13, #19 and Gero. My only issue with Gero and #19 is that their melee sucks, they're really slow, but it's more of an issue with Gero. In BT3 there was a very easy way to get rid of the no ki gain withougt grab drawback for #19 and Gero. First give them Essence of Sight so rush rapid movement (which was the only real reason you needed ki) uses no ki, and if you give them active heart, so they gain ki from melee attacks.
