But Android 13 is the best movie villain.

Bardok's a Canon Immigrant though. The only reason he ranks so low is because really, he has no interesting techniques and looks just like Goku.

Anyway, Garlic Jr is Piccolo Jr. (wants revenge for demonic father sealed away) mixed with Daimo Piccolo (wished for Eternal life rather than eternal youth but small difference)

Turles is Raditz mixed with Vegeta. The Tree of might is the real selling point.

Lord Slug is even more blatantly Daimo Piccolo.

Cooler is Freeza. Meta Cooler has an interesting gimmick with the fact there are an army of them with a planet changing base at least.

Android 13 is Cell mixed with 16.

Bojack is, once again, King Piccolo, though not as blatant as the last two.

Basically, the only movie villains to include for the sake of it are Dr. Wheelo, Broly, loathe as I am to admit it, Janemba due to his unique abilities and Hirudegarn. If you really need to pad the roster, Cooler, Garlic Jr and sure, maybe Bojak. Turles is only worth it if you're planning to incorporate the Tree Of Might in some way and Android 13's only real use if you're doing an explicitly tiered system like Super Sonic Warriors 2 and need more people who are at a certain level.

Given that they're starting to pull from other video games, at least one so far in the form of Miira and Towa, there have to be more interesting choices somewhere in the franchise...then again Towa was a non combatant, a demonic Bulma, so she's still a really weird choice.

Bardock does, however, have pretty much the most well known theme in the franchise. Solid State Scouter is a great cardio piece.

The most interesting thing about Bardock is that despite being a low-class saiyan warrior, he's just an average fighter but a brilliant scientist.

[up][up]I suppose that's as good a reason as any. Perhaps the biggest sin of Sonic in Super Smash Bros Brawl was not including Pumpkin Hill, while the cave/cavern theme and Calling To The Night perfectly rounded off the Snake experience.

[up]You know, I totally missed the Jor-El parallel up until just now.

I mean, who else but him would've thought of creating an energy source that perfectly simulated full moon light? Goku's own father's invention almost turned out to be his own undoing.

Except Bojack and Android 13 have been left out before. It wouldn't be surprising if they didn't show up.

They have never been left out of a game where Turles and Slug also appeared.

Apparently the picture I posted earlier said that Xenoverse 2 will have over 100 characters.

Also, here's another pic from the press conference.

Likely for the same reason that who I think is Majuub is there: Because the people who made that just grabbed random screencaps.

So I just realized something:

Just like Piccolo, Tien and Yamcha have never been revived by the Earth's Dragonballs.

Even in the Buu Saga, it was the Namekian Dragonballs that brought them back.

So they both could still be revived by Shenron if it came down to it.

Just a little detail we all missed.

They may as well make Shenron as good as Mori's Porunga and be done with it.

Piccoro couldn't be revived by Earth's balls before Dende...so he was always safe.

By the way, is Dende stronger than Kami? Since Dende's Shenron can grant two wishes.

#42895: Aug 15th 2016 at 6:07:12 PM

Dende's never shown any fighting ability. The way Dende talked, the number of wishes and stuff was a trade off, in exchange for quantity you limit ability of an individual wish somewhat.

Unless your Mori, who just made the Dragon better than Kami's, Dende's, or The Grand Elder's.

Played Xenoverse for the first time. It's cool but the flaws are painfully apparent right from the start.

You caught Xenoverse at a point where the magic of it being the best Dragon Ball game in years has faded away. Do remember that Xenoverse came immediately after the superbly mediocre Battle of Z.

And honestly, most of the problems aren't immediately apparent. Most of the game's problems start with the unbelievably poor decision making that lead to them including the worst parts of an MMO.

Perhaps they're just immediately apparent to me because I've heard them all before already so I can see where all of them are going to be issues. At least I managed to talk my brother-in-law out of buying the game with the sequel so close to release.

Oh, yes, that is a definite must - don't buy the game now considering how close the sequel is and how much better it promises to be.

Also don't buy it on release.

Still had a lot of fun with Xenoverse when it came out, even with the flaws.
