I just went through the ballache of setting up a US PSN account and buying psn cards because the game and season pass cost basically the same as just the loving game on the UK store.

Will you get it earlier, though? I think UK gets it the 27th, same as PC.

I don't know this one. Some rumors are saying 9:00 PM the day before? The game is like 10gb. I think you can already pre-load it on Xbone.

1 accessory at a time, because some of them have stat bonuses. They didn't want people getting crazy stat bonuses by equipping everything at once.

That's a shame...I wish you could have one that would give you the stat bonus and then a couple more cosmetic-only slots...

Yea you know if that was the case half of us would make CAPE HAT MAN THE MAN WITH TEN CAPES AND TWENTY HATS and make the devs cry.

Also I don't know if this final, burning, question has been answered yet.

Is it possible to make a female saiyan with Nappa's voice? Come on, don't let me down, I can already make a bearded midget monkey lady.

Not if things occupying the same physical space were disallowed. I mean, its just disappointing that you can't toss a scouter on someone who has a halo, or give the cool insect wings to a guy wearing Gero's hat.

DLC characters' moves are kinda surprising. GT Goku has a costume with Kid Goku's moves + Super Saiyan, GT Trunks is just a costume for regular Trunks but has the Para Para Boogie, Pan has a rather neat "dodge + beam" attack as well as the Para Para Boogie, and Nova Shenron has an ultimate that looks to be really drat cool and seems fairly strong.

Size affects speed? Oh boy, I see where this is going.

Here's my prediction: within a month you will see more-or-less clone armies of the tiniest possible characters of a given race, all with basically identical moves that have been painstakingly researched and declared the best.

Despite that, I'm still tempted to get it somehow.

Not only height, but weight/buffness. There's definitely optimal ways to build a character for what your intentions are between the broad strokes of "ki control" and "punch a dude", but I don't see anyone making MLG no-scope Destructo Disc builds for quite a while if it ever becomes a thing in the first.

There's a bonus and a malus for everything that isn't average weight & height.

E: It's a little easier to make tier lists for Supers and Ultimates. I can see there being some stagnation in how people load their character in order to achieve/copy a certain thing they saw.

This is the first season pass I've ever bought (Although that is possibly because I was buying cross region to save money and realised the season pass bundle was only £5 more than buying the base game on my home region)

Also first psn pre order.

Style-wise, I really like the look of the Saiyan Saga Spirit Bomb, Bardock's Ultimate, and I like the vanish + karate chop.

Karate Chop is at 2:25, and the Spirit Bomb is right after.
Bardock's is at 00:51. I also really like the look of Nappa's Volcano Explosion two-finger thing and Final Flash.

I kind of like the generic looking ones, too, though. If they are obscure enough, I can pretend they are my character's. :anime:

For the life of me I can't understand Dimps' obsession with the Para Para Brothers, but if this culminates in their outfits being unlockable costumes I am so okay with it. Between the GT stigma and the ridiculous pink bra looking things, its the perfect griefing outfit.

The Para Para brothers are one of the very few memorable things about GT is what it boils down to I think.

Also they shoulda made DLC Pan have access to Super Saiyan. The tears from certain grognardy parts of the fandom would have been great.

Was that Trunks using Kamehameha?? I always thought of GT Trunks as the lamest one and that just cements it.

I think Steam is your only option. I want to say it's an exclusive for now. Scroll all the way down and it has a Steam logo, not some PC logo.

Rumour is that the 2nd DLC will be Revival of F content. I hope it's true. :ohdear:

I really don't want anyone to succumb to Goon hyperbole, so I think it'd be healthy to talk about the stuff I don't like / stuff that is dumb:

- If you want to make Batman, Zack Morris, Naruto, or Sad Keanu Reeves... it'll be very difficult. The items are very Dragonball, so this isn't like Mass Effect or Skyrim or something where you can make your dude look like Ned Stark or play the game as Rocky Balboa with down syndrome.

- The fighting mechanics aren't as deep or from a pedigree as established as a Capcom fighter, or Tekken, or anything like that. There is depth to it, there is strategy, but don't expect this game at EVO 2014.

- The roster has straight-up questionable characters missing. Android 16, 19, Gero, and a bunch of movie villains.

- Cell and Freeza can't transform in battle. 1/2/3 Freeza & Imperfect/Semi-Perfect Cell forms aren't even selectable. You can't progress from SSJ1 -> 2 -> 3. Characters have 1 SSJ form on their Ultimate list, and transform directly into that one.

- There are some clothing items (identified as "iconic outfits") that you can't color.

- SSJ hair for CACs doesn't change. It just turns gold.

- Saiyan tails are attached to Saiyan armor.

I just don't want anyone to be disappointed. DBZ fans will be thrilled, for sure. I have been forthcoming with anything I do know, and haven't lied or embellished about anything. Bamco is not paying me or anything.

PC has better graphics, and the possibility of mod support down the road. I'm not sure what the community of PS3 will be like.. but I suspect it'll be a younger crowd. Just a hunch.

No matter how removed I am from my DBZ obsessed childhood the nostalgia for this poo poo is so intense I can't help but need this game. Any word on if it's going to be 60fps/1080p on PS4? That would be a nice bonus and look really great for the effects.

I am an old dumb human, so I can't tell just by looking at it, but it's pretty. Some sources say last gen is capped at 30 fps.


E: Someone said it was confirmed at 60 fps for PC. Trying to find an article.
E2: Apparently it was said on the Bandaigames stream. I don't know why it's not confirmed anywhere. Sorry. :(
