ESL ONE Malaysia 2022 Interview with MLPDotA and johnxfire – Quote, it’s like marriage

As the dust settles with the conclusion ESL ONE Malaysia 2022, it’s time for the players, the crew, the talent and the rest of us to shuffle back to the non-tournament season; at least until The International 11 qualifiers start anyway. At the event, I had the chance to ask Mike Le Phoenix (MLPDotA, not affiliated with animations about ponies, as he puts it), and John Nathan Fernandez (johnxfire not currently frozen, and also sans sunglasses) a few questions in the time we had. The duo are a pair of Dota 2 caster / analyst, adding their flair to the game as they, like the rest of us, follow through the storylines of any given match.

Left to right: John Nathan Fernandez (johnxfire), Mike Le Phoenix (MLPDotA).
Interview has been edited for clarity.

If you’re a regular viewer of Dota 2 games, more so for the Southeast Asian region, these two faces should need no introduction. The duo would appear practically inseparable for online broadcasts of Dota 2 tournaments – see: Beyond the Summit – and I’ve certainly had many a time tuned in for whichever SEA season was running.  It’s not the first time either of them have been in Malaysia itself, though being at Genting Highlands itself is new. Both found it a fun experience, fortunately being able to enjoy non-foggy days the mountains can be known for.
Even from their brief self-introductions, the camaraderie they have with each other is pretty clear: they’ve been paired up for five years now, with Mike jokingly saying he “regrets it every single day”.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

STARTING OUT
Everyone has to start out somewhere. Mike and John first got acquainted through the now-defunct EchoLeague, an amateur Dota 2 league. “I was casting with somebody else at the time; the analyst I did have – stinkypie – couldn’t cast with me one day. He told me he had a friend he thought could cast with me very well,” Mike reveals, about the first time they casted together.
“I just really liked the chemistry between us, so I said, hey John, let’s go cast together and go all the way, and we kinda did!”
MLPDotA
The EchoLeague landing page mentions John as a former admin for the SEA region, and indeed, he recalls first meeting Mike when setting up lobbies. “I asked him to cast since I was actually playing in that amateur league,” he says. “That same league had a lot of people in it; like Moxxi, and I think Avo was there, so I think some of us, weirdly enough, started around the same area.”
EchoLeague.
At this point, I find it unsurprising that many people who are part of the Dota 2 ecosystem just “imported” themselves over from Dota 1, back when it was a custom map / game mode for Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. “Why” Dota 2 for John was basically it being a game he played a lot and always something he went back to. Similarly with Mike, with almost 20 years since the Allstars days. “It’s kinda like family and I’d have it no other way.”
Since John mentioned having played at EchoLeague, I had to ask if he had any aspirations of going pro. “No, absolutely not,” he answers, almost immediately. “It was made for people with low MMR. It was a fun time, but I never wanted to be a pro, wasn’t good enough.” Mike gleefully offers himself to be a stand-in for any SEA team willing to rely on him to carry, which could certainly be a shake up in the scene. John shoots him down just as quickly, but let it be known, there is an opening.
BEING IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
ESL ONE Malaysia 2022 isn’t Mike’s and John’s first LAN rodeo, having been at the ESL ONE Stockholm Major 2022. However, there were multiple differences this time: they’re on the main stage where they’re before a crowd, as well as being in Southeast Asia. Having missed the opportunities for the previous SEA LAN events, I’m happy there’s somewhere more local, myself.
“It’s not just LANs; coming back to SEA is really exciting as the crowd, as you can probably hear, is one of the best. Always loud, always excited.”
johnxfire
Mike would insist the SEA crowd is the best. “It’s so easy to cast at a LAN because you’re being taken care of, and production is taking care of everything,” he remarks, somewhat cheekily. No more accidental muting or not turning off the right overlay, am I right? “The difference between casting online and at LAN is just night and day. I can see John so we know when to talk, when to be quiet,” he adds.
Speaking of Southeast Asia, I also had to ask about what they thought of the region from when they first started to now. “Back then, the region was struggling quite a bit. Viewership was low, the players didn’t seem to have much confidence in themselves,” says Mike.
“Think about a crowd of OG fans. Those guys will literally win OG the games by how hyped they get. That’s what SEA fans need to do.”
MLPDotA
“I think as time goes on, the SEA teams have started to truly believe that they might be able to win a The International. Personally, I think they can, easily, this year is the one.”
John brings up the time where SEA teams had foreign captains, and that it had helped grow the region – Canadian Jacky Mao, best known as EternaLEnVy, had a stint in FNATIC SEA, for one. He believes the SEA teams have improved a lot, becoming more competitive, but that they will still need to work on that certain “lack of confidence”.
As to who makes their list of “who to watch” in SEA, Mike champions Yopaj as the midlaner to look out for, JaCkky, 23savage, Palos – who was at ESL ONE Malaysia standing in for FNATIC’s Raven, to name a few. “SEA is one of those regions where anyone could become part of a Tier 1 team and pull out a massive victory.”

THE LONG WAIT HAS FINALLY ENDED! 😭
BOOM Esports have finally qualified for The International! 🤩
Our win against @TeamLiquid not only prolongs our campaign at the Major, but also secures us a direct TI invite!
SINGAPORE, HERE WE COME! #HungryBeast pic.twitter.com/a85ZrhAQ1p
— BOOM Esports (@boomesportsid) August 10, 2022

John similarly agrees with Mike about BOOM Esports (Yopaj and JaCkky), and also brings up Talon Esports. He points out there’s plenty of potential in the region, but some of these teams didn’t get the “advantage” or at least, the experience, of bringing in foreign talent to help them on their way. “Talon’s inexperience is showing in LANs, and that’s something they desperately need to work on if they want to get to TI. I think our dark horse could be Polaris Esports, if they don’t tilt and get mad at themselves.”
This sentiment should be painfully familiar to those who’ve been following the SEA Dota Pro Circuit. As viewers, we can definitely get extremely frustrated when we see players make “silly mistakes”, which is part and parcel of the game. They’ll need to learn, and we should be there to cheer them on.
FUTURE GROWTH
As ubiquitous the caster duo are, they have worked with others before. “When I cast with someone else, I like to be able to talk to them earlier,” John says, also pointing out Otomo in the vicinity. “Talk for a time, get a feel how we are with each other, and go from there. Communicating, being familiar with someone, helps a lot.”
“Like, you gotta have a chat with them, watch some of their replays, casts, understand how much they like to talk, when they take breaks,” Mike adds. “It can get a little awkward, but I think after game one, you’re usually pretty good. You understand how to work with people, and it’s fun to switch it up.”
John casting with Ares for the SEA DPC Division 1 Summer Tour, FNATIC v Polaris.
I also had to ask about their personal improvements with regards to casting. “In our early days, me and Mike would watch replays, make notes, and talk about what didn’t feel good, what needed to be worked on. It’s just a gradual process,” John says. “It’s a timing thing. For me, personally, I had a lot of anxiety about casting, finding myself being stiff,” Mike admits. “People can tell when you’re not comfortable. There’s no way around the grind; you have to get more games under your belt to be more comfy till it becomes second nature.”
There’s the scene as a whole to think about too, which still has room to grow, needing more people who can bring these storylines to the people. John points out there can only be so many games and tournaments that people can cast for. Aspiring casters themselves could get their start from the increasing number of smaller tournaments that pay, getting the scene to be more ‘newbie’ friendly. Mike likewise notes that the Dota Pro Circuit’s revised length means that there can be events to provide the opportunities, like the Division 1, Division 2 Tours. Much like improving at your delivery, it’s yet more gradual processes to work through.
TO THE FANS
To close off, I asked what they had to say to fans. Mike thanks you guys out there for your support, acknowledging how the stream chat could be toxic when they first started. “They’ve been on Reddit, demanding me show up at LANs, and you know what, we wouldn’t be here without them.”
John likewise extends his thanks, mentioning RD2L Europe’s Tapas, whom he said encouraged him to cast prior to his meeting Mike.
“Stuff like that makes a difference when you’re still starting out, so thank you for your kind words and feedback as well.”
johnxfire

Much appreciated to Mike and John for answering my questions! We’re a couple months off to The International 11, so perhaps we’ll see them on the stage there as well? At least, I’d hope so. I’m sure we’ll see more of them as the regional qualifiers loom on the horizon, with more caster curses in the future as well. Let’s hope this time doesn’t power that up to Kyle’s level.
See you next time!

Steam Deck Specs And More: What You Need To Know About Valve’s Portable PC

This morning Valve announced the Steam Deck, revealing information like its specs in an interview with IGN. The device is like a handheld console similar to the Switch, but will run PC games from your Steam library.

The console is set to launch in December 2021, and you can make reservations via The Steam Deck website. The initial wave will only release in the US, Canada, EU and UK, however, so the rest of us will have to wait until 2022 for more the handheld to become available here

One impressive thing to note is that unlike the NVIDIA Shield or Steam’s Steam Link service, the Steam Deck won’t be streaming games from your PC. Instead, the console will run your games on the device itself, meaning you won’t have to worry about things like latency. Its specs are also on par with the PS4 and Xbox One, running at 720p, so you reportedly won’t have to worry about performance issues with most games.

Price (MYR, converted)
1676 (64GB) 2222(256GB), 2726 (512GB)

According to Valve, the Steam Deck will basically be a PC, being able to run anything a PC can. 16GB Ram already puts it at a pretty luxurious stature, while IGN described it as being able to play games like Doom Eternal and Death Stranding with no issues. With the console’s custom OS you’re able to even run Xbox Game Pass, giving the console a large library of games to play on the go.
Naturally, its price will definitely give some people pause. The lowest-end model, the 64GB one, is roughly the price of a Nintendo Switch in Malaysia when converted 1:1, while the 512GB model is closer to the price of a PS5.
PC Gaming In The Palm Of Your Hand
Naturally, as a result of running one of the largest PC gaming platforms, there’s certain options that they just had to include with the Steam deck. these include mod support for the Steam Workshop, as well as customizable settings letting you run your games for performance or visuals to maximize the use of the Steam Deck specs.
Valve have mentioned the handheld has a 5-6 hour battery life if you’re only running your games at 30fps, though expect it to be closer to 4 hours on a regular play session.
Steam Deck Vs Nintendo Switch
Naturally, it’s easy to compare the Steam Deck to the premier handheld console, the Nintendo Switch. Valve seems to have been paying attention to criticisms of the Switch, with the Steam Deck having multiple wishlist Switch features like a built-in microphone and a working browser.
As mentioned earlier, the customizable options also means you’ll be able to run your games at higher frame rates like you would on PC, so having the 60fps version of most games is definitely a plus point for the console.
According to IGN’s interview a dock is also planned for the Deck, letting you even plug the Deck into a bigger display, making it the successor to the Steambox, Valve’s previous attempt at making a PC console. No release date or other features were teased about this dock, such as whether or not it would include the Switch OLED’s built-in Ethernet port.
The Deck also offers a more bizarre control scheme, with D-pad buttons next to its analog sticks rather than below or above them, like every other console. It also has track pads, which you can use for when analog sticks just don’t feel precise enough. We don’t know more about it yet, but apparently they’ll work well with the console’s gyro sensors, meaning you won’t have to worry about losing too much accuracy if you play an FPS on this thing.

Fans are Making Comparisons of the New Knight Pokemon with Megaman

After the newest trailer about the Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet games, a glimpse of the mysterious knight-looking Pokemon was shown and Pokemon fans were quick to make the comparison between the two with Megaman.

During the trailer, there wasn’t much information about the duo Pokemon other than the fact that one was blades for hands while the other than turn its hand into a cannon. It was until later that we got more information about the two from the official Pokemon website where the blue one is called Ceruledge while the yellow one is named Armoured.

The reveal of Ceruledge and Armoured was met with excitement and hype within the Pokemon  community where fans were loving the cool and unique concepts that has never been seen in any previous Pokemon games. The enthusiasms were backed up with mountains of fanart which have admittedly filled up my personal Twitter feed.

Other Pokemon Fans were also quick to jump on the meme bandwagon where they compared the two knight Pokemon to the different forms that Megaman has, particularly the one where he has the Mega Buster arm cannon and the Cyber Sword. Some fans were also creative enough to edit the two Pokemon into various of edits of the Megaman games:

I'm getting beaten to the punch on these Pokemon memes.

This isn’t the first time where fans had compared the new Pokemon from Scarlet and Violet where previously, the games version exclusive legendaries Koraidon and Miraidon were compared to Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s bikes.
For those who are unfamiliar with the two new Pokemon, here’s some brief information about what we know of:
Armoured
Armarouge’s set of armor belonged to a distinguished warrior, and is the source of the energy used for its Psychic-type moves. It also uses the psychic capabilities of this armor to control the fire energy within its body and unleash attacks.
Armarouge believes in a fair fight and will challenge an opponent head-on no matter how much stronger that opponent is. It specializes in using its sturdy armor to bolster its defenses and take down enemies with its high firepower.
Ceruledge
Ceruledge dons an old set of armor steeped in grudges and wields blades made of fire and ghost energy. In battle, these blades transform into great swords to increase Ceruledge’s power. Cuts from these great swords leave wounds from which life energy will flow.
Ceruledge prefers close-quarters combat and isn’t above using tactics such as sneak attacks and surprise attacks to win a battle. It uses its quick movements to capitalize on its opponent’s blind spots, then closes the distance to slash its opponent with its large blades.

Discovery Tour: Viking Age Review – The True Guide to Valhalla

Discovery Tour: Viking Age plunges players into a unique interactive experience. Within this recreated version of Scandinavia, players will learn about the history, traditions, and famous characters of the Viking era that spans from the 9th to the 11th century.

It serves as a companion piece to Assassin’s Creed Vahalla and the third game in Ubisoft’s Discovery Tour, focusing more on the historical aspect of Assassin’s Creed as opposed to the assassin aspect. If you’ve bought ACV, you will actually be able to get this game for free as DLC. It will also be released as a separate game on its own on PC.

This time we go to the ancient nordic world of Vikings, from Norway to England, players will step into the shoes of Viking and Anglo-Saxon characters of the time from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (ACV) and live their big and small stories. During their memorable adventure, they will interact with the world and its inhabitants, while discovering many details and anecdotes about the time period.
Exempt of violence and adapted to all audiences, Discovery Tour: Viking Age has been developed in close collaboration with historians, archeologists, and teachers, who have helped make it a fun and efficient tool for all who want to know more about the influence and legacy of the Vikings.

Living the Viking Life

Discovery Tour: Viking Age leverages all the educational aspects by putting narrative at the core of the experience. Players step into the shoes of 9th-century northern European peoples – a couple of Norse merchants, a young monk, and King Aelfred of Wessex – to live their stories from their perspective. While moving from one objective to the next (indicated by green beacons like in the base game while learning experiences are yellow/gold), players are exposed to tailored historical content that tells them more about the traditions and cultures of the Viking Age.
Discovery Tour: Viking Age makes the most of the video-gaming medium by offering an interactive experience where players are actors rather than spectators. The Viking Age is all about interacting with the world and its inhabitants. Those expecting the combat of Assassins Creed will be disappointed as those not featured here, but that’s not really the point of the game. Think of it more like an old point-and-click adventure game but now in 3D with top-notch visuals.
The content of the Discovery Tour focuses on 8 categories that together give a global understanding of the Viking Age:

War & Politics
Daily Life
Religion & Magic
Myths & Legends
Science
Law & Justice
Art & Culture
Trade & Economy

For instance, while players help Brother Ealric find a cure for a fellow monk’s illness, they discover interesting facts about monastic life and the medicine of the time!

For instance, when Thorsteinn, the Viking merchant, needs to get a longboat to cross the sea, players will follow him along with the different steps of creating such a vessel: choosing the designs for the hull and the mast, preparing the wood for use and even selecting their favorite prow.
By completing those tasks. Players progressively learn about the importance of seafaring for Vikings all while being immersed in scenes of daily life and progressing in the story.
Every bit of historical information that players discover in the game is accessible from the Codex menu which works as a database and can be opened at any moment.

Not only that, Discovery Tour: Viking Age also includes 25 Behind-The-Scenes stations (represented by a blue waypoint), all narrated by Shaun Hasting, the Assassin’s Creed’s Present Day character and historian. They provide information and anecdotes about key development elements for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Assassin’s Creed and video-game fans will have the opportunity to learn about the production process of Valhalla and discover interesting facts and anecdotes about the video game-making process, including the creation of Eivor, the design of the in-game sounds, or the way the color palettes for the different regions were chosen.
Not just Eivor this time, everyone can be used

Over the course of their adventure, players embody four different characters, each with their own personality, desires, and background stories. First is Thorsteinn and Gunnhilda, merchants in a timeline that shares how to migrate to Norway so no spoilers here, a monk named Brother Ealric, and Aelfred, the King of Wessex who plays a huge role in the main ACV game.
The main content of Discovery Tour: Viking Age is divided into 8 quests that together form a global story following the endeavors of the playable characters across several decades. The quests take place in 4 different worlds: Norway, England, and the mythological realms of Jotunheim and Asgard.  The quests can be played in any order and each of them focuses on several key historical events, developed in collaboration with specialists and reviewed by historians.
While five of the quests tell a Viking saga focusing on the adventures of Thorsteinn and Gunnhilda, the other three are built like Anglo-Saxon chronicles seen from the perspective of Ealric and Aelfred.

Last but not least, players will progressively unlock a wide variety of Assassin’s Creed characters that they can use to explore the world of Discovery Tour: Viking Age freely, outside of the narrative quests. Some of those characters, such as Thor or Eivor, are directly linked to the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla universe while others – Layla Hassan or Shaun Hastings for instance – are taken from the global Assassin’s Creed franchise.
Extra: We know that Eivor is the only one who’s capable of running through city streets, climbing up buildings, and calling on Synin to give you a bird’s eye view of your surroundings. Don’t worry, all the characters here can do that so you won’t have any traversal issues.
A True Guide Through Valhalla

For me, what’s really special about Discovery Tour: Viking Age is how all this information is presented to the player. The voice actors for each tour guide maintain their personality and charm from Valhalla’s story where the narration during each guided tour is also expertly done as if it were from a professional documentary.
Discovery Tour: Viking Age manages to capture the size and depth of ACV into a full-blown learning experience. At the same time, the game can appeal to a wide demographic, which means you don’t have to play or be an avid fan of Assassin’s Creed. When viewed as an entertaining virtual tour, Discovery Tour: Viking Age is perhaps one of the finest educational tools available and it can even be incorporated in schools or museums.
The attention to detail, the connections to ancient literature and art history, as well as the explanation of the cultural findings help create an immersive learning experience.
As a hardcore AC fan, it provided me with an incredibly surreal experience. To walk the mountains and villages of Norway and to wander to the streets of historical England – which I have spent 100+ hours playing – provided so much more context to the game than I could have ever imagined possible.
After walking the streets and seeing people interact with one another, I was able to gain a better perspective of the history and the development process which enriched the way that I think about this game. Back to playing ACV, I guess.

Asphalt 9: Legends Soft Launched On iOS!

Asphalt 9: Legends is coming to Android! Finally! Ever since Gameloft released Asphalt 8: Airborne back in August 2013 (wow that’s long), we’ve been wondering what ever happened to the series. To be fair, Gameloft did release Asphalt Street Storm which focuses on multiplayer drag racing; but to be honest, we love to perform stunts and bump players to crash and burn (muahaha).

Just like the previous of the series, Asphalt 9: Legends will have players in control of which lanes to go, Nitro ignition and stunts. However players can still steer the car a little by tapping either side of the screen but will have no worries on pressing the gas pedal. The car will turn on its own during a corners and players can tap on the bottom left icon to perform a drift.

For those who didn’t know, Asphalt 9: Legends has already been soft-launched in the Philippines but only for the iOS. Sadly, Android wasn’t included in the soft-launch along with other countries as well but good news is, the game is and will be coming to Android soon!

Identity V X Danganronpa crossover confirmed

Out of nowhere, NetEase announced a collaboration event between its smartphone survival horror game Identity V and Danganronpa. Yes, that Danganronpa. Unfortunately the accompanying teaser trailer gives very little away as to what we can expect.

However, given this is a rather significant announcement, we do expect more details down the line. If it is anything like the previous Persona 5 event, then expect a new map that borrows the aesthetics from Danganronpa, with playable characters from the series as well. Of course, as to who is featured remains to be seen, so there’s something to look forward to.

As a refresher, Identity V is a Dead by Daylight alike mobile game where players can choose to be a Hunter or one of the 4 Survivors. Born with absolute power, Hunter is tasked to seek and kill all the Survivors, while the Survivors will need to work together to find and decipher hidden mechanisms to escape the area.
Be sure to drop by the official website for more information and download links. The Danganronpa collaboration has been long sought after by fans, so it will be interesting if they are able to top their previous attempt with Persona. Given the reception to the latter, we are confident this will deliver as well.

Kid Buu To Appear In Dragon Ball The Breakers Says Producer Ryosuke Hara In Interview

Dragon Ball The Breakers is developer Dimps’ upcoming asymmetrical action game and we got the opportunity to talk with the game’s producer – Ryosuke Hara in an interview, where we asked about some questions regarding the game.

Note: The Interview has been edited for clarity.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

The Breakdown of Dragon Ball The Breakers
How did Dragon Ball The Breakers come about? The asymmetric action game genre is new for the Dragon Ball franchise.
Up until now there had been a lot like Dragon Ball games which mostly consist of games that are mainly for battles or experiencing Dragon Ball history. And for now, we are looking to improve on an experience that still hasn’t been explored in Dragon Ball. Characters such as Bulma and Oolong are also part of Dragon Ball.

Continuing from that, we usually know in Dragon Ball that the battle destroys the city, those kinds of things look really cool, right? But how does it look from the perspective of a normal civilian or like someone who lives in the Dragon Ball world as a normal person? Just like us, that part is what we want to convey in this game. That’s why we also consider the genre which is popular now to implement it in games, which is what we wanted to convey to the players.
Normal people who live in their own world usually have a power level of 5, right for this game. This game is for those who are only at the power level of 5, to experience the difference in power level between, you know, the Raiders and also the player’s side.
That’s like the first thing that came up with at the start of the development.

Asymmetrical games typically feature five-character players but Dragon Ball has seven. What was the intention to have so many characters in this player pool?
Dragon Ball The Breakers is a game about super powered people versus normal people. So, we wanted more players on the normal people’s side, to make it more balanced in the sense of the context itself. And as you know, there are also seven Dragon Balls.
With that in mind, we wanted it to have a specific meaning for it, like seven people, seven Dragon Balls. That’s what we’re aiming for with the number of players and the Raiders. It’s just corresponding to the Dragon Ball element.

From the trailers we understand that the survivors are being hunted by the Raiders in each match. But is there an overarching plot of the game? Do each of the Raiders and Survivors have their own backstory?
In the end we showed a prologue for the story but for the moment we will not elaborate further regarding the information for this place.  There will be more seasons as well as more upcoming updates and we might be showing more information.

Will there be at least, a campaign mode or a short story or some element of a story that will kind of help players understand the world before they go into matches?
There are currently no plans on that. Basically, it’ll be the same in the Closed Network test, which offers a kind of story in a sense but more information will be revealed later.

Why is the game called Dragon Ball: The Breakers? Is there any specific reason behind this?
So basically, just from the name it is resembles power level 5 people, normal civilians who are facing a great threat from the Raiders. And within that hopeless situation, to be able to break out from that is what we’re aiming for people to understand. So that’s what Breakers mean, people who will break this hopeless situation and save themselves.

What was the inspiration for the aesthetics of the game?
So, for this title, rather than focusing on the battles and stuff, we hope to make it more enjoyable in a sense for you to play with a lot of people. So, we are focusing on the gameplay and maximizing experience to the design and feel and look of the game.

Is there a moment in the Dragon Ball series that inspired Dragon Ball: The Breakers?
For me (Hara) personally, it is the event where the first form of Cell attacks the town. I mean, if you have seen the Dragon Ball series, you will definitely know. It was a very traumatic experience for me because I was young when I first watched it. It shows the difference between normal people and Super powered people in Dragon Ball and that is what inspired Breakers.

Break Through or Break Down
The gameplay is quite dynamic and both the Raiders and Survivors each with different objectives. Can you tell us what other special abilities that each Raiders has in their final forms as opposed to the first form?
Regarding to Cell in his first form. At first, he won’t have a lot of fighting power but it’s really fast to go to the second form after capturing Survivors. He can search for Survivors which makes it easier for him to keep going and going compared to the other Raiders. After achieving the final form or Perfect Form, he can use a very strong Kamehameha that can easily dispose of Survivors. So, while the first form has low fighting capabilities, in his Perfect Form, it is very strong.
While for Frieza starting from the first form, he can already fly and also has a higher Fighting Power compared to Cell. But starting from the Second Form, just like the anime and the manga, he doesn’t have his own scouter. So, you have to start using him more strategically through Zarbon and Dodoria.
He has a more strategic approach compared to Cell and after reaching the Final Form itself, Frieza can use the same skill that he used to destroy Planet Namek. So compared to Perfect Form Cell, who mostly aims in a straight line, the skill “This Planet Will Die”, is an Area of Effect (AOE)  attack which can deal a lot of damage to the Survivors in one shot.

Is there anything that the Survivors can use like special abilities for them to help defend against the Raiders?
We will give an example for three Survivors. For the moment, we will talk about Oolong. So, firstly, he has two abilities. The first one is “complete transformation”, so it’s kind of a luck-based skill where you can change to an item that is also on the map. But this is not like the object is something close to you from any part of the map so it will be random.
Maybe you want to hide in the house but when you transform and change to something that’s not supposed to be in the house. And while it’s kind of like luck-based ability, it’s a very interesting skill to use in this game. The other one is a Missile transformation which gives the player an ability to fly. Normally Survivors cannot fly from within their own power but like this gives them an advantage.
Next, we have Bulma with her two skills. The first one is a Bike and compared to the normal vehicle that you can use around the map, this one is faster and has a faster boost which gives her an advantage for movement. And the second one is Charming Pose which is a really good skill because she can stop the Raiders for just a bit. And also, you know it’s a really good pose, please look forward to it.
Lastly would be the Farmer, which we will be showing at the Tokyo Game Show. He has one special skill which is to dig and dig. You can sometimes find items through digging and compared to the other skills of the characters, it has a very short cooldown time. So, you can keep on the digging to find more items. Although, you won’t always find an item below, but you can keep doing it and keep trying to get an item to gain an advantage.

How is the balance in the game given the range of characters that are available to play? How was the balanced set during the development?
Asymmetrical action games are susceptible to having one side being too strong while the other is too weak, and we don’t want to happen for Dragon Ball The Breakers.
We have been thinking a lot regarding this game. So, as we have said earlier, the most important aspect of it is the part where super power versus normal people. So, in order to keep the very big difference between the superpower and normal people, we have two points that are very important.
The first one is to keep the data that we have from the Closed Network Test and Beta Test. We will analyze the number of wins, the number of skills Raiders used, and we will change those kinds of things if needed. Anything between the connection of the Raiders and Survivors.
And the second one, that is most important for us, is the opinion of the player themselves, like the feedback that we receive. Those kinds of things are really important information for us.

Being a game that is so highly dependent on multiplayer. Do you think that fans playing the game solo will find it as enjoyable compared to those who play with their friends?
First of all, we don’t condone the usage of voice chat while playing this game. So, it’s better to use the in-game functions for communication between players.
Within the game itself, there are stamps and chats. Those kinds of built-in communication tools can be used by every player whether you’re playing the game solo or  playing with your friends. Initially, it might be hard to use. However, when you’re starting to get used to it, it’ll be more fun for everyone who plays the game. So, there should be no big difference between how you play, whether it be solo or with your friends.

Is there any feedback that the development team actually put in from users after the closed network to improve the game?
We received a lot of feedback from the closed network test. Since the game is launching soon, it’s quite difficult to do it at launch. So, we are looking forward to implementing these updates around the coming seasons. Other than that, determining whether the Raider’s skill are too strong and balancing that will also be looked at after the launch of the game itself.
So, we hope for more voices and more opinions in order for us to make the game better.

The Raider’s Power Levels, What Does It Say?
What were the considerations made when designing Frieza to not make him too overpowered? This question also applies to all other Raiders in general.
So, for Raiders, they have their own specialty within the game such as Cell who has evolutions, and he has a specific search skill which makes him more like an all-rounder character. Well, like Frieza, the key to using his skill will be the point of his usage, and he’s more like a technical Raider in a sense.
So, with the difference between Raiders in mind, like for Frieza, as an example, how he uses his skill, like summoning Zarbon and Dodoria, will be the key in usage of his character.
Well, on the other hand, the skill is there but the usage itself for the character might be quite difficult for some players itself. So, depending on how you play the game and what your playstyle is, which characters might be easier to use and which might be harder to use, that’s how we balance the game itself.

We’ve seen Cell and Frieza in the trailers. Can we look forward to the next Raider announcement during the Tokyo Game Show?
Other than previously showing Cell and Frieza, we will be showing Kid Buu. We will also have another skin for the Survivor side which is the very famous Farmer – the guy with the power level of 5.

Who is your favorite Raider?
My favourite raider would be Cell, the one who gave me a lot of trouble when I was a kid. The monster-like first form of Cell compared to Perfect Form Cell. It’s like the first time he saw it, he was just like a monster. And now, I look back at it, there’s a lot of things to like about Cell and that is my favorite Raider.

Wishing Upon the Dragon Balls
Would there be a chance that we get to see Dragon Ball Super characters being added into the game in the future?
Dragon Ball The Breakers has a connection with Xenoverse, just like our other titles. So, we cannot go into the details around if Dragon Ball Super characters will be coming or not. However, you can expect there might be something coming.

Are there any plans to include characters from the old Dragon Ball movie such as Bulla or an older version of Broly?
So as we have stated earlier, since this game has a connection with Xenoverse, it doesn’t close any chances of characters that appear in that game to be in this game. So, there’s always a chance a character from Xenoverse will appear.

Do you have any plans for next gen consoles and graphic improvements?
At the moment for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, it’s not considered yet. But of course, depending on the player’s reaction, and what the request is, we might consider it in the future.

Would the studio consider implementing any cross-play in the future, on different platforms?
So, at the moment we are not considering any cross-play between consoles and for now we are concentrating on making a better connection between matchmaking first.

We would like to thank Ryosuke Hara for answering our questions in this interview about Dragon Ball The Breakers. The game is planned to be released on 14th October 2022 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox series X & S, and PC via Steam
