Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team Goalkeeper Attributes and Skills Guide
In Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team, the goalkeeper position holds immense significance. It is understandable that certain players may not possess a deep understanding of the attributes and skills associated with goalkeepers. To address this, let's delve into an analysis that sheds light on the attributes and skills of goalkeepers.
Analysis of Goalkeeper Attributes and Skills
First and foremost, it is important to acknowledge that the following conclusions are based on attribute testing, and any errors can be brought to attention.
The effectiveness of attribute bonuses as stated in the game has always been a subject of debate. If the defensive attribute is the sole factor that matters for goalkeepers, then what purpose do goalkeeper techniques and power serve? Techniques enhance passing and shooting speed, while power increases shooting damage. Does this imply that we should play as fervent soccer players and let the goalkeeper handle the shots?
Certainly not. Through extensive testing, it becomes evident that if you want the goalkeeper to make an impact in the attack, the offensive attribute holds the utmost significance. However, goalkeepers typically possess lower offensive attributes. Furthermore, in terms of skills, the goalkeeper's passive abilities bolster defense, power, speed, and technique, yet there are no offensive skills involved. Consequently, comprehensive testing was conducted to compare the variances in different attributes, resulting in the following conclusions:
Power: Power augments shooting damage, although it is not intended for the goalkeeper to take shots. Therefore, the alternative effect of power is to diminish the power of shots received by the goalkeeper, although the bonus is not as substantial as that provided by defense.
Defense: Covered in the attribute section.
Speed: What purpose does goalkeeper speed serve? Well, it primarily aids in charging forward. Just kidding. In reality, the goalkeeper's passive skills incorporate acceleration. For instance, "Ghost Keeper" increases speed. Speed influences the distance the goalkeeper can dive for the ball and the reaction range to the opponent's ball speed.
Technique: It affects the goalkeeper's ability to catch balls enhanced with skills. For example, if there are 10 balls with 90 technique points in the same area, a goalkeeper with 100 technique points will catch 5 of them, whereas a goalkeeper with 70 technique points will catch 2 of them (assuming speed is not a factor). Do you perceive the difference? Let's also analyze shooting attempts. In the same area, against a goalkeeper with 100 technique points, there are 8 goals with 150 technique points and 5 goals with 80 technique points (actually, with specific positions and angles, an 80 technique point shot could also result in 7-8 goals, but we are comparing the impact of technique here).
Analysis of Individual Goalkeepers
Morisaki from Nankatsu is infamous for conceding easy goals due to his passive skill called "Slow Starter." This skill diminishes his attributes during the first 20 minutes of the game, further weakening his already low capabilities. Although his strongest skill requires his stamina to be below 20% to be effective, most ordinary shots tend to deplete his stamina below that threshold.
When it comes to Wakabayashi from Japan, it's important to note that his base attributes are not inherently low, and he possesses defensive-enhancing skills as well. However, while playing against him in the World Youth Tournament, you might notice that he oddly allows super shots to pass. This can be attributed to his lack of powerful passive skills and technique bonuses, making it difficult for him to save many shots.
Genzo from Italy boasts decent base attributes similar to Wakabayashi, but he lacks two passive skills, which ultimately lowers his overall ability.
Mueller, the goalkeeper from Germany, shines with excellent base attributes and effective passive skills. The only weakness he possesses is his low speed, which explains why many people prefer using him. Mueller's strength lies in his passive skill, which reduces the opponent's shooting power by 50% when his stamina is above 50%. Although this calculation is based on base attributes rather than total values, it remains highly advantageous. While Mueller excels against power shots, his weakness lies in facing technique shots.
Aswan of the United States is regarded as a king in the penalty area. Shooting from within the penalty area causes a decrease in the shooter's attributes while increasing Aswan's attributes. Despite lacking long-range shooting skills, attempting shots from outside the penalty area against him usually proves ineffective.
Ken Wakashimazu from Brazil demonstrates a unique characteristic where his attributes increase with rhythm saves (visible only when the opponent shoots). He is a quintessential advantage goalkeeper. If Wakashimazu holds a lead in the score, his attributes rise significantly, especially his technique, which can surpass 100 with rhythm saves. The more unsuccessful shots the opponent takes, the stronger Wakashimazu becomes. Personally, I favor this goalkeeper because although he may not be formidable initially, he possesses good judgment when it comes to technique shots. However, he is prone to conceding power shots in the penalty area.
Conclusion
In order to excel in Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team, it is crucial for players to thoroughly assess the abilities and advantages possessed by each goalkeeper. Understanding both one's own strengths and weaknesses and those of the goalkeeper is vital when it comes to scoring goals and ultimately winning matches. Fortunately, on the Redfinger Android emulator platform, numerous game guides specifically focused on goalkeepers are readily available. By perusing these guides, players can rapidly enhance their skills and attain victories within a short span of time.
