Chi-Chi (or Milk in the Lat Am dub) is a terrible person. Also, Roshi has a gambling problem in the Toonami Asia dub.

She's also inconsistent in her actions, considering the moment after Goku actually left to train with Whis, she just go "Well, that's Goku for you.".

So I'm wondering, but why didn't they just get Arale to join the Universe 7 team? I'm sure her gag character-ness would have allowed her to beat every on her own.

As a crossover character her universe only intersects with the Dragonball universe once every 80 episodes.

Also we do not need a third child of unimaginable destructive power in the same room as the Omniking. But if any DBZ game in the future does a what if of the To P Arc, that needs to happen. Come to think of it, you could probably create an entire fighting game just out of the To P arc characters.

So I like how, since I've had the DLC available from day 1, I get to bring my good buddies SSR Goku Black and Zamasu with me to "fight" in the Raditz-era Parallel Quests.

Ahh, it reminds of the goold old days of SS 4 Vegeta as a pre-order bonus for XV 1.

One tip was to gather the DB s really early through save scumming to get SS 4 Gogeta. But preorders didn't need to bother because Vegeta was even better (better skills)

The roster of the Tournament of Power (gods included) already beats Xenoverse's current roster by a good amount.

  • ToP: 80 fighters and 39 gods, 119 characters total
  • XV2: 98 characters (including Dabura and Buuhan)

Now how to make each fighter viable in a game if some never even fought on screen is gonna be tough, but I guess they could give some of them generic moves.

I wonder if Obuni's Feint would be an ultimate or a transformation? How fast would Dyspo be before the player loses control? Would it be pointless to add the base form Kamikaze Fireballs?

I can't believe they actually made the old "Goku and Chichi have a terrible marriage" meme canon. That's like the lowest-hanging fruit there is. Wasn't it stated he missed both his sons' births recently? Like I know he was dead for Goten, but Gohan too?

Super has made like every meme canon. The Yamcha baseball episode, Piccolo suddenly being domesticated and Pan's honorary grandpa, Vegeta's pride constantly being the butt of the joke.

I mean, Piccolo was that in Resurrection F as well, hell we first see him using his foot to rock Pan's crib when Gohan and Videl came back from the store, so he's already been watching her for Gohan.

I'm reminded of a question: what's Japan & by extension Toriyama's awareness & opinion of the Abridged?

So can I just say I adore the Mentor system? Not just taking their classes to learn their moves, but making them your personal instructor, talking to them in Conton City, and of course when they show up to bail you out of a tough fight. I once had Cell show up to help me fight Cell.

Can't wait for DLC pack 5 to add Zamasu as a mentor, that'll be hilarious.

By the way, if my Xenoverse talk is clogging up the thread, just say so and I'll take it elsewhere. I don't want to bother everyone with a game that's been out for... a year now? However long it's been out.

[up]Toei considers it copyright infringement and hates it. Though there was one very brief scene with Mr. Popo in Super that makes me wonder if someone on Super's staff isn't a fan and sneaked in a reference. (The scene is the one where Mr. Popo rather uncharacteristically threatens Vegeta about damaging the RoSaT and the camera zooms right in on his eyes.)

I've looked up some Abridged episodes on Nico Nico Douga, and the Japanese fans seem generally amused but confused by a lot of the jokes (since a fair chunk of Abridged's jokes are based on the old English dub and associated memes, which Japan never witnessed). I get the feeling there's too much of a disconnect for them to really enjoy it as much as Western fans.

I've never heard what Toriyama thinks of it.

Cell's mentor quotes are still the best. Admittedly, I haven't heard many of the XV 2 ones.

Cell really is great. Even when you fail him, "You couldn't even kill TIME like that!" is a delight to hear.

But I've maxed out his friendship meter (Not sure what else to call it, but that's what I'm going with because I want to be friends with Cell), so I had to move on to Ginyu, who is also amazing. He offers you gum and chocolate parfait if you do well.

As a gag character, she is chronically incapable of interacting with events of dramatic weight surpassing 3.4 kilotensions. If she tries, she'll either do nothing of consequence, miss the event entirely or somehow transform the event into something that is no longer dramatic.

'Tis a sad affliction, only overcome by contracting Cerebus Syndrome instead.

Toriyama seems like the kind of guy who would hate Abridged, absolutely love it and find it hilarious, or not know about it at all.

Yeah that answer doesn't make sense.

Huh so the Japanese don't make their own Abridged of anything?

I mean, he could also be aware yet indifferent or mildly amused towards/by it.

But, yeah, phrasing like that usually frames the options in a more limited way.

Well, if he doesn't know about it, he doesn't know about it. Akira's the kind of writer who seems to really enjoy taking the piss out of his own work, so he might love that aspect of Abridged. On the other hand, he's also really nitpicky and specific with jokes, so Abridged might rub him the wrong way if he just doesn't find some of their jokes funny.

Oh yeah he is serious about jokes, that is an interesting thing to think about.

I assume he considers it once of those things those crazy Westerners are doing.

I think he'd have a lot of difficulty understanding it. We've no indication that he's bilingual, and explaining the jokes across to him would not work that well.

If he could understand it, I can definitely see him being picky. Since he's also particular about dialogue, he may not appreciate how everyone is written so differently.

Yeah, he would either love it because it's a parody of his own work, or he'd hate it because it's a parody of his own work that he thought didn't work. I'm not seeing Akira Toriyama sitting down and dedicating time to watching multiple episodes of Abridged and coming out of the experience apathetic.

Also, Dragon Ball SD exists, which is basically just an official Abridged series.
