I thought he'd be bigger and bulkier. Kibito was South Kaioshin-sized. Also disappointed that this is Pure Buubitoshin instead of Super Buubitoshin, though it makes sense. Super already has a lot of VG absorbed forms (Yamcha/Tenshinhan, Freeza, Cell, Vegeta, Goku, Cooler/Broly/Babidi), plus the three or four absorbed forms in the manga, while Pure's only sub-form is Pure Buushin (buff Buu).

I thought Evil Boo (Kibitoshin absorbed) would be a nice reference to Old Kai telling him he'd just get absorbed by Evil Boo if he fought him.

Does anyone prefer Freeza's other forms to his final one? It seems to me that the Bishounen Line Freeza is the one most talked about but I always preferred his first form.

I don't like how it looks like he's wearing pads, armor (even when naked), and a helmet. Nothing looks like an actual naked part of his body except for his hands, feet, and half his head.

I actually prefer his second form to all of the others. The final form just seems kind of bland although it's probably my second favorite. Not a big fan of first or third form.

Third form is the funniest looking.

Third form just looks stupid to me. The head is a ridiculous shape and Frieza has a duckbill for a mouth for god knows what reason.

EDIT, games mixed up:

The only problem I had with it is the aura burn (an improvement B3's Hyper Mode, but the whole mechanic just needs to be scrapped),

I hated the Hyper Mode in 3. Why even bother turning SSJ 3 when my opponent can use a wannabe Kaioken that makes them invulnerable and allows them to use their Super Move on me? They finally gave us Super Saiyan 3, 2, 4, all these cool forms - but no, the computer turn invincible by turning f—king red. Oh, and in order to do a Super Move, now we need to telegraph the attack with an obnoxious charge-up uppercut/kick.

As for Infinite World, I didn't really give it a chance, but I did it rent it once. Those "run around and collect trinket" missions annoyed the snot out of me. I do wonder if I'd have a better time with it if I picked it up again.

So what form did you guys like better, Super Saiyan God or Super Saiyan 4? Personally, I like 4 better.

Budokais 1 and 2 were my favorites. What-if scenarios, Senzu Beans and Heart Virus capsules. I liked the RPG segments of 2 as well, and unlocking Babidi's space ship. Fighting Power-Weighted Cell in 1 still gives me nightmares however.

So what form did you guys like better, Super Saiyan God or Super Saiyan 4? Personally, I like 4 better.

Super Saiyan 4 felt like Saiyan evolution coming full circle, and that was pretty neat, so my vote's for Super Saiyan 4.

Third Form is basically HR Giger's Alien but lame.

Evil Goku doesn't look...all that evil.

If it's anything like the Evil GT Goku boss from before, the only difference is that the model is darker. Though this Goku can summon the Black Smoke Shenron, so I guess there's that.

It's not evil Goku. Good guys summoning evil bosses isn't new to Heroes.

Super Saiyan 1

Super Saiyan 2

Super Saiyan 1

Super Saiyan 2

The laziest damn design. Thanks a lot Toriyama. How many years have people wasted on the "was Gohan Super Saiyan 2 against Broly/Dabura??" and all because of this laziness.

yeah,whatever happened to the hair growth there?Teen Gohan's hair grew a lot in SS 2.

#5645: Mar 11th 2014 at 5:18:04 PM

Goku's Super Saiyan 2 is clearly different from his Super Saiyan form.

The problem is just with teen Gohan and Vegeta, which are pretty amusing because both show more difference in their Super Saiyan forms than Super Saiyan 2. While training for the tournament, Gohan's Super Saiyan had 2 bangs and after the month passes his hair has grown a little and he's now just got 1 bang, same as Super Saiyan 2. If he had kept the 2 bangs it would have been clearer.

And there's more difference between Vegeta's Android arc Super Saiyan hair and his Boo arc Super Saiyan hair than there is between his Boo arc Super Saiyan 1 & 2. So there'd be no problem if Toriyama didn't change his style for Super Saiyan 1 Vegeta.

But yeah, not seeing the problem with Goku. Very clear difference, and the change should be subtle given the entire segment devoted to the Super Saiyan exploration in the Android arc was about not making drastic changes.

I think noticing if he has 1 bang or 2 is a pretty miniscule detail most people wouldn't take note of. I personally just see spikey hair and more spikey hair.

Gohan's SSJ 1 and SSJ 2 look in the Cell Games is pretty distinct because all his hair is standing straight up in the latter except for one bang, as opposed to SSJ 1 where it's kinda just poking out in every direction. IIRC anyway.

I don't see Goku's hair sanding up any straighter in SSJ 2.

Ya know, I always wanted SSJ-2 to have a glowing white hair-do to make it different. tongue

#5648: Mar 11th 2014 at 5:48:33 PM

I think Gohan originally was just supposed to be a normal SS in the Cell Games. SS-2 was introduced far later. That's why his regular SS look is completely atypical, while his SS-2 look looks like what is his SS should look like. I think that his regular SS form was supposed to be a suppressed/resting form, and SS-2 was just his full power SS rather than a whole new form.

#5649: Mar 11th 2014 at 6:19:41 PM

[up][up][up] I don't get how Goku's hair could be any clearer without a drastic change. It's very obvious.

A bang compared to two wouldn't be as obvious for Gohan but with his base hair the way it is there's not much else to do, and it'd be enough anyway. If Toriyama had gone with the jacket version of teen Gohan here he could have made it more similar to his Cell Games look but I prefer the hair cut in the final design.
