Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Expert Missions Gameplay Trailer Released

Bandai Namco adds more fuel to the Xenoverse 2 fire.

Bandai Namco has released a brand new trailer showcasing the elements involved with Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2’s “Expert Missions.” The trailer gives players an idea of what the tutorial session will be like when they get their hands on the full game.

In the new mode, players will engage in combat with massive enemies. The bosses in these “Expert Missions” will have the unique ability to enlist player characters to fight for their cause. Players are then required to enter the “World of Mind Control” to regain command. Mind control is one of the primary plot devices in the Xenoverse series. Characters both good and evil are constantly having their agency taken by the primary antagonists; this time, the players themselves will be faced with the consequences of this dastardly hypnosis. Check out the trailer below!

Grappler Battle as Wolfkrone Takes On GiefKid in This Exciting Street Fighter V Set

Laura is a grappler match-up that requires a lot of hard reads and mental endurance, as the swings involved in the match-up can be difficult to deal with. Once one character scores a knockdown, it becomes a battle of making the right read to not get stuck in mix-ups for the entirety of the round.

When you pit two of the best of each character up against each other, this rings even further true. So when GiefKid faces off against Wolfkrone in a best of 5 set, the results are a lot of high-level reads and excruciatingly lopsided rounds. Watch both players work their way into proper spacing and score knockdowns to try to finish each off quickly in this high octane set.
