Going back to Fortnite to play as Goku
I didn't think I would go back to Fortnite. The truth is a few years ago I tried to have a go at it, but I didn't really see myself ever winning a game so I quit. You really need to work as a team, have really good skill, and have good gaming gear (graphics cards, monitors etc) to have a chance, so I didn't think it was for me.
However, I saw something on Epic Games which changed my mind. You can play as Goku in Fortnite now? Also fly around in with the cloud (Flying Nimbus) and fire the Kamehameha (fireball thing)? That is just too cool not to try.
However, as I got into the game, I noticed that I still have my old stormtrooper skin. In order to use the Goku skin, you need to go to the shop to buy it with Vbucks. Since I have 0 vbucks, I had to buy vbucks using real money ($30 AUD) to buy the dragon ball pack, which includes Goku and Beerus. If you want Vegeta you would have to spend more money.
Considering that Epic games gives people free games every week, I think spending $30 AUD to support them is more than justified. You want them to continue existing so we can get more free games!
What I didn't expect from this experience was that I got so much better in Battle Royale because of it. In this video, after picking up the Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud from an orange bottle, I saw someone quite far away from me. I was standing behind a tree when I clicked fire with Kamehameha selected, and somehow Kamehameha shot through the tree and elimnated the opposing player.
I then saw another player building a hut (I assume to protect themselves from me). However, because I have the nimbus cloud, I can use it to fly up in the air, and then shoot down with the Kamehameha, again eliminating the enemy.
I transformed into Supersayin (simply by using an emote) and then again used the nimbus to fly behind someone. It is much easier to go around an enemy with the nimbus as you're in the air and travelling much faster than on the ground. Then I eliminated them from behind, which is again very hard to guard against.
Enjoy the video and see some rare sightings of me playing well at this game!
