Manga/Dragon Ball

The various super modes of Dragon Ball games that are dumber than they are super. Collectively I call them Idiot Mode because it's always a different name for the same useless shit.

Yeah, I gotta second that.

Raging Blast 2's version is particularly annoying because it's activated by hitting Block immediately after powering up to full; something that is very easy to do by reflex because of the Full Power animation's brief stunlock leaving the player vulnerable to attack.

Too many instances of wanting to use an Ultimate have resulted in Full Power - Shit! Block! - Idiot Mode, and then you lose the ability to use Supers and Ultimates in exchange for being able to do a lot of damage if you can pull off a Mortal Kombat 3 Brutality button-input that really only ever works for the AI.

This person has made an extensive post on how Xenoverse works.

It's surprising how deep the combat system is!

'nother random question: Krillin's daughter, Marron... does she have powers and just doesn't use them, or is she an outright Muggle Born of Mages? Or is it ever stated for sure?

Neither, because muggles and mages aren't how Dragon Ball works.

If she trained, she'd have powers. She's born with them the same way every other human is.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Marron is normal; doesn't train or anything.

At least, at the point she appeared, she was way too young to train, and unlike the Saiyans, that is a valid excuse.

I think there was a thing about android nanomachines. Maybe that was just one of the capsules in the Budokai games, but.

Nanomachines might be able to cross the placenta.

...I admittedly got this idea from a fanfic.

Yeah it's the Budokai games that have Nanomachines, as a capsule that boosts defence. Bizarrely Android 16 can equip it.

Android 18 and 17 can too I think.

Yeah, but in that case it makes a little more sense since they're organic. I mean, a full robot would still benefit jut as from nanomachines, but I don't think I've ever seen that in fiction before.

New DBH trailer shows Legendary Super Saiyan 4 Broly fighting against Goku, Vegeta, Beat, Note... and Super Pikkon!?

Also, the future holds GT Gogeta and Time Breaker Bardock.

The beginning of the Timeline War is upon us...

Is Broly even really that popular? I think I read somewhere that Japan doesn't care for him either.

Does this new DBH info indicate that the Online and GT timelines are tampering together somehow? I wonder if this has anything to do with Xenoverse...

Yeah, Pikon doesn't have a fucking chance.

Man, I REALLY like this music.

But it's not Pikkon, it's Super Pikkon. He was a new transformation announced for DBH along with LSSJ-4 Broly.

Well that just seems silly.

Pikkon has a new outfit, which can be marketed, meaning he's the best chance they have against SS4 Broli.

That video is legitimately the worst thing ever.

No, it is the best thing ever. I welcome our new Broly overlords.

Even for heroes it's particularly bad.

The thing I found weird is that it's repeatedly reported that the Japanese fanbase don't like Broli, GT, or what-if forms - in other words, they have good taste. Yet Heroes is shoving all three in one form for a game that only exists in Japan.

Then again, arcade games are stupidly popular in Japan, and Heroes was too before it started this crap.

Blah blah people liking what I don't are wrong blah blah.

Has Heroes started giving saiyans their great ape forms yet?

Did you guys forget it was the Japanese who gave him LSSJ3 in the first place?

No I didn't, and that was also pretty weird. Even moreso since that was in an arcade game that didn't really use what-ifs, they just randomly put SS3 Broli and Vegeta in.

Could say the same for blah blah people not liking what I like are wrong blah blah

Is Broly disliked in Japan, or just not as stupidly-popular as he is overseas?

I noticed that Super Pikkon's outfit is Kaioshin clothing. Do ya think he got a power-up similar to Mystic Gohan's bout?

Also, here's an embed of the second vid I posted earlier:
