Manga/Dragon Ball

I don't know if Toriyama even thinks that far ahead. I guess it depends on where the manga was when this arc was airing on t.v.

Ya know, if DBXV does have over 100 characters in it's roster as estimated, who do you think they'll add? Would fusions be separate characters or reduced to items again? Could characters like Beat, Ozotto, Miira and anyone else from the expanded universe appear to fill up the roster?

Also, if it does have the potential to have 6 player battles, would it be team based or free-for-all?

Honestly, it seems like DIMPS has finally realized the formula for making the perfect Dragon Ball game... cobble together all of the best features of previous Dragon Ball Z games:

• Burst Limit-like graphics
• Budokai Tenkaichi style gameplay
• Battle Of Z team battle mechanics
• Budokai 3 style streamlined story
• Dragon Ball Online character customization(?)

Add all of those features together and you get a damn good Dragon Ball game, which Xenoverse is shaping up to be.

And now that you've said that, the game will bomb.

Yamcha is the best character.

It sure beats 'SAD FOR YOU."

Yamcha > Vegeta but everybody should know this by now.

Too bad he couldn't put his money where his mouth was.

Yeah, Yamcha ended up getting his ass kicked by a freakin mummy and then gave up pathetically. He was already the Joke Character in the original Dragon Ball, but by the time the Z portion of the story started, he just became a failure on every level. And before people say give the old, "all the human characters in Z got treated like shit", I'd like to point out that Fake Ultimate Hero extraordinaire Mr Satan significantly contributed to saving the universe... twice. And he doesn't even know how to use ki and on top of that, got some very significant character development as well. Shit on Mr Satan all you want for taking credit for Cell and Majin Boo defeats but at the end of the day, would the both of them have been defeated if Mr Satan wasn't around to do what needed to be done, albeit at times unwittingly and reluctantly?

Krillin was a human, he was always really out of his depth power-wise, but he always managed to contribute. Yamcha has no excuses.

I've already go into length about how great and under-appreciated of a character Krillin is. He is essentially the anti-Yamcha; nowhere near the strongest but still puts up a damn good fight, never knows when to quit, contributed greatly to the shaping of the plot and ends up getting the greatest example of Earn Your Happy Ending ever in anime by somehow ending up marrying the hottest and strongest chick in the show and on top of that, he get's to life rent free in Kame House for life!

Krillin, you got it made!

How does Android biology work?

When did Krillin put up a damned good fight in Z? He and Piccolo and Tien and Chaotzu all fought Nappa, who wasn't even trying, and were being toyed with.

He would go on to do absolutely nothing on Namek apart from getting his ass kicked easily by the Ginyu's, beign destroyed by Freeza twice and....oh yeah, completely missing his opportunity to kill Freeza because he's a dumbass.

And then in the Cell Saga...hahahahaha. Yeah he sure put up a fight when he stood there and didn't put up a fight when everyone attacked 17 and 18.

And then in teh Buu Saga when he got turned to stone immediately. Good showing.

The only time Krillin put up a good fight was in DB and everyone put up good fights in DB, including Yamcha. He fought God back when fighting God meant something and he impressed our deity.

Krillin would have killed Nappa if Vegeta hadn't warned him at the last second and Krillin also would have also killed Vegeta if it wasn't for Goku telling him not to.

Krillin and Gohan took one some of Frieza's soldiersandwoneasily, saved Vegeta's life from Recoome Erase Gun, actually kicked Goku (Ginyu) ass and one shotted fucking Vegeta albeit so that he could get a Zenkai but still...

In the Cell Arc he didn't much admittedly but did take on Cell in filler.

In the Buu Arc, he beat up some giant Arabian dude and that was pretty much it.

Additionally, he destroyed three Saibamen. He threw the Spirit Bomb at Vegeta; Gohan had to ricochet it, but Krillin was the one that put the ball in play to begin with; hitting Vegeta with the Spirit Bomb required all three to pull off. He was able to distract Second Form Frieza long enough for Dende to heal Gohan.

Even when he dies, Krillin accomplishes things. Yamcha gets blown up by a Saibamen and it changes nothing. Tien and Chiaotzu die fighting Nappa, and Nappa shrugs off their desperation attacks and keeps right on going like nothing happened. Krillin gets blown up by Frieza, and it's the catalyst for Goku transforming into a Super Saiyan and annihilating Frieza.

It wasn't just Krillin there, it was also Piccolo. He took the bullet for Goku and pretty much seemed to be dead as far as Goku knew

Krillin just got waved into the air and went kaboom for some reason. I've never understood what the hell Freeza even did to him.

Telekinesis.

I knew Freeza had TK but how does TK make someone go off like a bomb? TK is just using "mental physical strength" if you understand me. Crushing Krillin's body under that mental weight so it bursts into a gory display of blood and organs would make sense but not what I remember happening.

You instigated the shit-on-Yamcha event, so you get the response you didn't want to hear.

All the humans in Z got treated like shit. Mr. Satan survived because he accidentally made friends with Majin Buu. His only contribution was possible because Vegeta and Goku are, pardon my french, f___ing morons in that arc.

That's not what TK is at all, actually. It's a lot more than just "moving objects with your mind". That's like saying doing math is just writing down numbers.

Making someone explode with TK would just be separating them into little pieces in a sudden manner.

Separating them how? DO you mean on a molecular or atomic level or something? That's a ridiculously complex use of telekinesis that is rarely seen in fiction. When did we ever see that Freeza had such precise telekinesis as to manipulate the very components of a person's body? That's straight up X-Men level shit.

Well, all he did was do the opposite of crushing him. He made him explode, rather than implode.

Besides, he has quite powerful telekinesis. He did pick up a mountain, after all; I think he could blow up Krillin.

There was smoke. Did he just rub Krillin's cells together so fast he made him combust too?

In case you didn't notice, about half of the attacks in this show leave a boatload of smoke.

Actually, the move that Frieza used to kill Krillin is pound for pound the same move that Vegeta used to kill Cui.
