activate Pride Mode (LV2)
Activating SSJ Blue Mode changes a few things for Vegeta, gameplay-wise.
- At activation, you will see two bars: The top one is an automatically refilling Blue Step Cancel bar.
- The bottom bar one is your conventional Finisher Level bar. This bar is, in SSJ Vegeta's case, filled by forward momentum. The faster you're traveling forward, the faster it fills up. When you retreat, it drains again. If you get knocked down, it also drains a solid chunk. In short, acting like an aggressor rewards you.
- Gain access to the Blue Step Cancel. You can cancel Specials into it. Every time you use Blue Step Cancel in a combo it won't recharge until the combo ends.
- Final Impact's True Impacts fill your Pride bar, and the last impact activates "Pride Up" if done True.
- Gain access to a short hops (tap UB/U/UF) and Super hops (press down, then tap UB/U/UF).
- Gain access to SSJ Blue Evolved Mode (detailed below).
- Taunting makes you "Pride Up", this will make Vegeta passively gain Finisher until he's hit (blocking doesn't count).
- Zetto Counters become faster.
- Elite Assault costs LV2 instead of LV3 but takes you out of the mode if you fail to connect with it.
- Gain Finishers for Elite Assault depending on the level of the SSJ Blue Bar. These are detailed in the Supers section.
activate SSJ Blue Evolved Mode (LV2)
Activating SSJ Blue Evolved Mode has Vegeta turning over a new leaf! Again! This changes a few things, gameplay-wise.
- First off, you'll have to be at least on Level 1 of SSJ Blue Mode before you can go into this Evolved one.
- At activation, your Pride bar is converted into the SSJ Blue Evolved Bar. It automatically drains from whatever point it was filled before activation into Evolved. So the farther the bar was filled, the longer the SSJ Blue Evolved Mode will last. When the bar is drained, the Mode ends and Vegeta is dizzied.
- While in this mode, your Power Bar automatically fills up unless you're comboing the opponent.
- Retain the Blue Step Cancel, though you'll notice that the bar for it is now gone. So no more buffer/overheat limitation.
- Gain 'ghost impact'; all of Vegeta's basic attacks, dashes and specials now cause an additional impact/explosion upon hitting the enemy.
- Elite Assault retains the reduced cost of LV2 instead of LV3.
- If the opponent is not KO'd before the Blue Evolved Mode ends, Vegeta will be left powerless and dizzied.
