I'm really into this retarded concept for a game. DBZ game devs fully embracing bullshit 'uh yea my character was made when Future Trunks wanted a best friend to fight time demons with so he wished on the dragon balls for the coolest fighter ever to be bros with him but then the time demons got mad so they made Cell and Buu and everyone else into super strong extra evil versions because my character was too strong for the normal versions...'

I have 3 important questions though.

1) Can I make a midget Saiyan?

2) Does Frieza race include being able to make Captain Ginyu?

3) Is the mentor system that deep or is it basically a spec choice? Like, if wanna bro out with Hercule is it just a thing where every few levels he says 'here's my special dick punch' or is there like, training and poo poo that is different for them? I like that this game is 'deep' enough to make poo poo like a female Saiyan handle differently than a male Buu so I hope that weird level of detail is a common thread.

1) Sold, gonna make the angriest munchkin.

2) God drat it when will a game let me be Captain Ginyu's Secret Brother?

3) Oh that's cool, I dig the ideas of mentors as progression.

Yea I'll probably get this then, fanfic simulator with a genuinely neat looking fighting system, perfect.

Fuckin sold then. This is legitimately an informative thread, I heard next to nothing about this game aside from general 'haha it's fanfic made real' jokes and some basic 'yea a DBZ game where I make my own hero sounds cool' but this is the first source of actual information I've seen that wasn't just videos of a dude scrolling through armor selections.

Tails unfortunately are just part of the armor, so if you use the Saiyan Armor, you get a tail. It's unfortunate, but there it is.

Is the great monkey transformation a move we can get?

Yea I'd be super into it if next year they just did like SF4 does and release what amounts to an upgraded version of this game with a better roster and junk.

Plus it'd also mean cheaper buying for those of us with the game on our account already, win win I'd think.

But of course I'm a nerd on the internet not the CFO of Namco Bandai so hosed if I know.

Yea I've never like, felt 'hype' for a DBZ game. I've played plenty of DBZ games and thought 'this is a good game' and had fun, but I've never done some poo poo like preorder a loving dragon ball game.

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.

Z Souls and their effects.
I will add to the OP after work. Enjoy!


All Supers & Ultimates viewed from menu.
It's worth watching just to see the special effects of them and how they differ from others.
Some can be charged by holding the button, charged while moving, have short stat buffs, can be cancelled to another attack during the animation, used while guarding...

So what exactly are Z Souls again? This game has a lot of customization poo poo to keep up with.

Also kinda skipping around there I saw

"Gohan's Z Soul, has a chance to activate when battle begins. Recharge allies' ki with great jokes"

Wonderful.

In the "lore" of the game, it's because you're all Buu's children. He created his own female based on one of Mr. Satan's porno mags.

This is truly the best game.

I love that the teams writing for DBZ stuff give zero fucks anymore. I mean that 100% too, not some lovely backhanded 'oh it's nice to not care anymore' thing, I love that they sat down and said 'ok, for this online game we should make Majins playable' 'cool, but we should probably have both guys and girls right, like everyone else?' 'Hm, how does that happen though' 'I dunno, Buu found a porno and made a lady Majin based on that?' 'YA DID IT AGAIN, JERRY!'

Watched Battle of the Gods last night. Super Saiyan God is hella lame looking compared to SS4 so I'm glad they're including GT in this. It was a pretty cool movie, though I'm getting tired of nobody but Goku being able to do jack poo poo.

Battle of the Gods was great because almost everyone involved but Goku and Beerus fully acknowledged how stupid a name Super Saiyan God is, like these two were having a serious moment and everyone around them was all 'that's a real dumb name for a form, yo' and saying he looks the same and all that.

Battle of the Gods literally spent more time in a birthday party and discussing a bingo game and its ramifications than it did on the battle of the gods, so it was the best DBZ movie ever.

Well yea, androids in general are fuckin lame, but of the lame androids he was the only good one.

Like, the only one that ever had any more than a couple episodes about them was the one who wished to be human so she could gently caress a midget, that's the bar we're working with here.

Pretty sure the Candy Beam is classified as an Evasive Move... it's probably from a parallel quest.

Obviously it's the same game no matter what but do the different races have much difference in, say, side quests, intro, etc? Like, will my ~game experience~ when I make a Saiyan be different than one when I make a Majin or does it come down to how the characters themselves play?

Aaah that's fine then, I thought for some reason all the characters had to go through storymode on their own or something. Don't really care if it's the same if the only run that matters is the the first you finish.

I'm loving the game but I hate the Ginyu saga, playing as Captain Ginyu is rear end and then the 'get your body back' mission is beating my rear end.

Good thing Vagetia is my bro and taught me his faster Kamehameha move, it helps me keep that rear end in a top hat Ginyu/Goku back away from me.
