And here is another character breakdown. This time... Adult Gohan! One of his costumes is Future Gohan (I guess before he lost an arm), and he has Special Beam Cannon as an Ultimate. :3:

I'm sad that there's not a Great Saiyanman outfit with the bandanna and sunglasses.

If it lessens the blow, you can get the bandanna and sunglasses for your CAC. Skip to 1:30, another at 1:36 with the sunglasses up. You can also get the combo of Gohan and Videl as your mentor, and learn all of Saiyaman's moves.

I am okay with all of this.

Is it confirmed that you can only use one of those accessories at a time? So no Halo + hat, for example.

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...

To be fair, that's just asking for clipping issues.

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.

That is literally the only non-accessory beard option, for an earthling at least.

Are there any mustaches? And can that beard be used on a Saiyan? It's not like Saiyans can't have facial hair. There's King Vegeta in Z, and Prince Vegeta in GT...

That's the best I'm gonna get I suppose.

What's the face customization like? Is it just presets? Or stuff like Eyes 1-10, Nose 1-10, etc? Or did they go crazy with it and give us size and shape sliders like Saints Row?

Nappa's just a motherfucker, brutal up close and his evasion move is a big up close aura. Level up but the main strategy is don't let him get close unless you're ready to do big melee attacks. Vegeta's easy, just block his beams, they hit like trucks but when you avoid lasers he's just a normal dude.

Yeah, Nappa keeps knocking off huge chunks of my health leaving me with not enough to deal with Vegeta.

There's a dragon ball podium in the center of the top area of the city, where Trunks wished you into existence in the first place. I haven't gotten any dragonballs myself, but I assume that's where they go

Wait is this actually a good game? I sort of disregarded it immediately after the first few pages of the thread. :confused:

It's made by the team that did the old good 2D budokai games, so the fighting is solid, and the premise basically lets you reenact all your old middle school fanfics.

So I did the dumb thing and bought the game twice; I had my Steam game+season pass preorder, but then my boss wanted to be able to play online with me and my housemates wanted will go do Time Patrol, so I bought the Xbone version too...but now I don't have the preorder bonuses on the console, or the season pass...but I've already made progress on that version, so will I really want to switch over to Steam?

At this point, I just hope someone makes a mod of some kind to unlock everything instantly on the PC version so I can use that for just dicking around and have the Xbone version be my actual "here is where I make progress" version.

So on the Xbone version, I keep getting dumped back to the main menu because "The Xenoverse service is not available", and then when I try to start up again, even if I select Single Lobby, it tries to connect to the server, fails, and dumps me back to the menu again.

The fact that I have to go grind levels to beat one of the earliest fights that is blocking off half the game is stupid as gently caress.

You'll only need a level or two. Nappa hits like a truck, but part of the grinding is just gonna be naturally getting better at the game and learning to dodge/block better.

Oh, and "Go do some PQs for a bit" is gonna be standard procedure for the whole game. Do a Time Patrol, go do some PQs, come do more Time Patrol, then do more PQs, repeat.
