DragonBall X: The Next Gen

This article, DragonBall X: The Next Gen, is the property of Ijordan04.

Dragon Ball X is both a fighting game and a installment in the Mortal Kombat series. It was developed for current-gen consoles by NetherRealm Studios and by High Voltage Software for Wii U, Nintendo Switch, New Nintendo 2DS XL, Android, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Gameplay

Dragon Ball X features new and returning gameplay elements. For the first time in the series, players are able to choose from multiple variations of each character (3 by default), which changes how that character plays. For example: in Vegetas "SSB" variation, he can change his hair color to blue and use it in kombat, but if his "SSJ" variation is selected instead, he gets the ability to go super saiyan from multiple directions to attack the opponent. Variations is perhaps the biggest new gameplay addition in the game. The game will also features X-Ray moves introduced in MKX. The press release promised "all new gameplay" featuring "a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online game where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. This was of course in reference to Tournament of Power Mode, a new online mode in which the player is allowed to choose between the eleven available factions, consisting of Team Universe 2, Team Universe 3, Team Universe 4, Team Universe 6, Team Universe 7, Team Universe 9, Team Universe 10, Team Universe 11

The game also introduces the "Stamina Meter". The stamina meter is located below the characters' health bars. The stamina meter has two bars which are used when the player does certain things (however, not all actions use a whole bar of the stamina meter). Dashing, for an example, uses stamina. Running from some of the past Mortal Kombat games also makes a return, and drains the stamina meter. Interactables from NetherRealm Studio's games, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and were also in MKX and will be in DBX. One block of stamina is used if the characters use an interactable and they will gain all of their stamina back by not doing any actions that use stamina for a few seconds.

The "Super Meter" from Mortal Kombat X also makes a return in DBX. Just like in Injustice 2, the player can gain up to three blocks of super meter, by either taking damage, or by doing special moves. One block of the super meter can be used to "Enhance" special moves. Enhancing special moves may increase the damage of the attack, do additional hits, add special properties and so on. By using two bars of super meter, the character can preform a "Breaker". Breakers allow interruption of an opponent's combo, pushing them away. Using all three bars of super meter allows the use of the "X-Ray" attack mentioned above. X-Rays are super moves that do multiple hits and big damage if they land (for more information, read: X-Ray).

Like all past games in the NetherRealm series, Dragon Ball X uses 4 buttons for attacks; Back Punch, Front Punch, Back Kick, and Front Kick. Every character has combos that they can do by pressing a certain button sequence (a list of combos and other types of attacks can be found under the "Movelist" while paused in-game). Players can extend their combos even more by juggling their opponent while they are in the air.
