In my final hours of playing DDD, it became increasingly apparent to men, anyways.

Playable characters have really cool looking, flashy moves, but even the most basic ones have a massive cooldown, because the animations are so elaborate.

Meanwhile enemies seem to have ridiculously fast, anime style attacks, with no tells. This makes strategy into more of a meta game, where you guard before ANYTHING happens in anticipation of an attack.

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but it's my only major complaint about the game, and I personally want more control of my characters. As is, I don't feel responsible when my character dies. It's almost always at the hand of some ridiculously fast move that happens during the lag time of another move, so I can't do anything about it.

In DDD specifically

 

I got hit after using thunder dive (Or whatever it's called) during the Ansem fight. That in itself isn't a big deal, but then Ansem immediately used his charging move, and kept turning on a dime, to hit me during my getting hit animation, until I eventually died

 

To me, this is bad game design. Why should I die simply because I can't control my character?

Okay.

I guess saying that it takes too long was an uneducated comment.

I have better moves than Balloon and Balloonga.

I don't really understand what it does so I feel like it doesn't do much.

Maybe I don't like it because I used it so much in the demo and for some reason didn't like it then either.

I want to answer properly but I can't. Sorry.

 

I think I'll go equip it now and see what I think and let you know =)

 

Try it during a boss. That's where I found it most effective. It'll do a fair amount of damage, but because it homes, you don't need to but yourself in the line of fire.

Alright, cheers.

 

 

Okay Balloonga is pretty cool, and good.
