On 1 I'm curious about that too. There's isn't much battle damage anymore.

On 3 well motherhood can have that effect on some people. I guess you could say she just grew up or something along that line.

Huh, that's actually an interesting note; there's barely any battle damage in the Anime. No wonder the fights feel so toned down. Guess violent standards have changed, but it makes the fight lack...impact.

That's something the Manga got right at least, Goku and Vegeta get WASHED and they show it.

Wait, didn't Goku and Vegeta get clothing damage during the final battle with Zamasu and Black?

Yeah but not as much. Typical scratches but there are some large cracks & pieces missing from Vegeta's armor & Goku has a noticeable hole near his uniform. Though in comparison to previous battle worn states it doesn't look as bad.

Though fuck look at Future Trunks. I noticed the lack of battle damage when I first saw the guys state after finishing off Merged Zamasu. His cloths looks perfectly fine, just black scratches & he still has his jacket on for God's sake. At least in Goku's final battle with Kid Buu his upper Gi was obliterated only leaving his blue shirt left.

Its really lame how unhurt Future Trunks looks. Seriously the battle damaged like what Goku & Gohan received in their battles with Frieza & Cell has become iconic in their own right.

DBS tends to rarely do that?

I noticed that. Goku's clothes don't get destroyed as often. Heck, I think he still has his full shirt by the end of the Zamasu fight. Although this is the first time I've ever seen Vegeta's Saiyan armor get damaged to the point some of the fabric is missing - even in his first fight with Goku it was still mostly intact.

I'm sort of surprised the lack of battle damage was apparently not so noticeable to people.

Anyway, the new trailer has me HYPE. Traditional fighters usually don't preserve enough of the DB feel to work for me (Super Dragon Ball Z is just eh) but this looks promising. I checked out Guilty Gear Xrd, and the aesthetic and style look like they could capture the DB feel well enough. The Budokai series remain my favourite style, so I'm definitely having high hopes for this. Still, I know the roster will be small - Xrd only had 25 characters after DLC and two re-releases/expansions. And with content from Super, the space just gets tighter and tighter for games like this that try to capture large parts of the series.

I'm expecting just the main antagonists of Z, the heroes and some content from Super with hopefully few repeat characters (Extreme Butoden does leave me a tad worried). Aside from that, it looks both flashy and fun, and the music in that trailer was also really cool.

@slimcoder: For Chichi it seems to have the opposite affect. Seriously, even when she was a fighter when she fought against Goku to propose marriage, she seemed a lot more chill than she was after first having Gohan.

For Fighters Z, I'm expecting Beerus to be playable. I can't see any of the current characters making it, though. Even Zamasu might be too new. Then again, I have no qualms with DLC.

The game looks brilliant. Style is definitely at the forefront here, and I dig it.

In an ideal world there's a Supersonic Warriors-style story mode where you can defeat Beerus as Krillin and radically alter the storyline.

From Super, I can see Beerus, Black, Zamasu, or Hit making it. The first definitely have higher chances.

With Golden Frieza making it, I'd even go so far as to say Beerus is a guarantee.

At the very least, I want a "Universe Survival" DLC pack with Caulifla, Kale, Jiren, and Ribrianne.

[up]×3

Beerus was in Extreme Butoden, which was also done by Ar Sys. So I'm sure he'll be in Fighterz.

I hope there's at least 25 characters in Dragon Ball Fighter Z

You can tell 17 is a father, because that was a total Dad Joke right there.

Did 18 look a little jealous at the end there? When 17 said he would start worrying about the poachers.

Aside from the joke and 18 getting critical of 17 for getting Marron's name wrong, my favorite part of that scene was when the siblings were talking with each other at the start, the ONLY thing that did not change between camera changes were their faces. XD

Also note that Marron, a 9 year old, is being left alone on an island full of wild animals with two boys, 14 and 13, who are probably going through puberty real soon, if not currently......o_o

[up][up] She seemed more bemused over how 17 and Krillin suddenly got real casual when it came to talking about the kids fighting poachers after all the earlier awkwardness from earlier.

Yeah that... that also kind of threw me for a loop...

I mean obviously nothing's going to happen but I suspect we're going to get some filler episodes about Goten and Trunks trying to protect Maron. They already had that one scene where Goten was playing ball with Maron and showing off.

...oh.

Now I get the "Marron" joke and why 18 flared up. I guess Krillin did mention her. :p

[up] (1) I guess. The face at 2:04 said "annoyance" to me, but bemusement's also possible.

[up] I don't think that's it since Maron isn't canon.

18 got annoyed because 17 was intentionally mispronouncing her name.

Wait, Goten and Trunks are like, twice as old as when they were in the Buu saga?

Why do they look the fucking same then?!
