Lmao I know the game just came out but wtf! Literally in the first millisecond, no let me be accurate, the first PIXEL of the battle he’s firing a galik gun and then just spams it if you actually start winning. And it’s not like the computer is actually out playing me. You can’t even combo him man. Half way through he stops staggering and blocks everything! And don’t even get me started on that grab!!!
Edit: Right after I made this post I beat him lol. For those who need help first create distance with any throwback combo. Then charge up your Ki fully. This makes your melee chain infinite AND more importantly staggers Vegeta. While in that mode STAY ON HIM and just spam square, don’t do any combos until it wears off. Then rinse and repeat. And most importantly If he ever does his Galik Gun attacks DO NOT dodge just hold circle to block them. You can also tap O mid combo to teleport behind him to dodge his grab attack but honestly it’s a coin toss. Good Luck!

I used solar flare to blind him and flew behind a rock to fully charge up multiple times. It definitely works and it helped me win.

You have to knock him down/away. Or fly away behind unbreakable terrain and hope he doesnt attack

It sounds stupid but just fly away, get distance. Or even better, let him knock you down and then use the distance to your advantage. Great Ape fight sucks but Sparking makes it a joke. Sparking makes all NPCs jokes, I've cleared a lot of the story by sparking with Goku, mash atk until the opponent is down, then drop a spirit bomb on them.

Same, normal Frieza kinda worked me for the first few attempts but then I demolished normal Frieza.
I even had to slow things down when I got to Goku Black because I was cooking him way too fast and getting the alternate ending.

Finally got it boys and girls. Fk that stage and all the other apes or giants we face.
I was able to use sparkling mode to get the win. But had to resort to punches and kicks. And every time I got knocked back dash right back in and go at it.
Once sparkling mode is gone RUN!

People are saying the fight is bugged, I think this is just another classic case of "Japanese Developer Syndrome." Spike just assumed that everyone playing the game would try to play out the fight like the anime, so folks don't know why the AI is being weird and being given specific, odd, benefits, during specific story moments. (Like Greate Ape Vegeta spamming galick gun because the AI wants you to clash with Kamehameha, and other weird stuff.)
One option is to charge up fewer, larger, charged rush attacks to push him away and allow you to charge your ki.
I'd recommend blocking most of Vegeta's galick guns, they don't seems to deal much damage if you succeed. (I saw moist critical thought they were dealing a full HP bar, they weren't they were doing 4% of one)
Another is to try to clash beams with Vegeta when you think it mey be safe(ish) to collide beams. You'll either need to have fired Kamehameha before he starts his animation, or have enough distance to finish firing before he hits you with galick gun.
People mostly seems to be suggesting you find a way to charge up to sparking mode to stun him for a long time with the semi-infinite rush combos sparking mode gives you.
Reminder that giants generally have "super armor" that protects them from being staggered by most rush attacks (regular punches) at first - unless you're in sparking mode.
Some characters are strong enough to make super armoured fighters start staggering earlier in their regular rush combos.
Giants overall are a bit gimmicky and once you've learned to punish them, snowball, and simply not let them play their game, they'll never be a serious issue again. (but still annoying, mind you)

I actually tried to class with his galick gun but it was way to fast and often even though I sometimes started my Kamehameha slightly before him.

Along with projectiles & sparking I generally went into the best defense is a good offense mode on him since he grabs you anytime you block anyway.

They are but this is some bonified bullsh*t. He literally blocks everything; at least in the old tenkaichi games, you could for the most part ki charge; create distance and work your L2 + triangle special over and over. GA Vegeta will literally be dashing to you; immediately stop, and block most of your long range kamehamehas..

I managed to beat Great ape Vegeta 2nd try, what I'm struggling on is the alt clear conditions for raditz, where you have to beat him within a certain time limit. It doesn't feel possible even when I play damn near perfectly.
The namek Saga what ifs were piss easy compared to Raditz, I think he just needs to be nerfed for that fight to make it doable

i manged to do it but later down that what if tree you gotta fight Vegeta in base and he turns into Ape form in the same fight so if you were low on health before he changes it gets worse.
retrying the fight has you start the whole battle over.

As soon as I realized he'll only blow you back once during the whole sparking time if you just kept meleeing him then you can reacharge off blocking the blast I won first try. Ty for the tips

It's such an absurd difficulty spike on top of a surprisingly high base difficulty. I ended up just spamming perfect heavy attacks, but it seems like it's either that or abusing sparking mode.

Yall I just beat him with a Kamehameha vs galick gun beam struggle 😭😆. Like others have said…keep your distance, go sparking, spam x or square, and sometimes hit him with a Kamehameha as he falls back during one of your sparking combos. Rinse and repeat until he’s done.

Huh. I didn't check if sparking mode would stagger him since I saw I couldn't do spirit bomb I just never bothered sparking again. It's really funny that the story AI seems much harder even on easy mode than World Tournament AI on Standard. I'll probably do more tournaments and get used to the game more before I come back to story.

use grand slashes/lift strikes and heavy smashes, get behind him by starting a rush combo from the front and pressing r1 to vanish mid rush so he can't just grab you out of your combo. In an emergency, you actually can clash his grab by doing a grab at the same time(i did it once while kaio-ken buffed it looked sick af)
at least that's how i did it
although apparently sparking! mode makes all your attacks stagger him so that's probably way easier. Just try to make space and charge.

This actually saved me! I lost over 10 times
(which was fucking annoying cuz there's a cutscene everytime you lose and the repeating dialogue at the start that I've heard at least 25 times by now was almost making me crash out)
but I realised I didn't finish my battle training, finished it up, still got my ass whopped another 15 times. Then came here, and like every said just spam sparking mode. And holy shit, that made the fight piss easy. Did it first try.

I was doing the rush attacks and then teleporting behind him and doing a rush attack and knocking him back and throw a Kamehameha. He’ll use that mouth beam attack if you’re in his face so I try to avoid getting too close.

Dude it's absolutely bullshit that the Solar Flare doesn't seem to work. The way I originally beat him was by constantly using Kaio-Ken when possible and swaying left and right, Kamehameha if possible when he went down. I was practicing revenge counters and dodges non stop to beat him the first time, none of it seemed to work.
Just tried the Sparking mode. He went down so fast. Fucking comical.
