Screw PS3, I'm getting this on PS4! I'll even get a PS4 for it.

I'm being pragmatic; PS 3's cheaper, and there are more games I am interested in. [lol]

Custom characters? Including females - which should be a no-brainer but somehow is not - and multiple races?

All this game needs to do now is not drop the ball by having shitty gameplay - bite me, Ultimate Tenkaichi - or for some reason deciding not to have a 1P v CPU custom battle mode - which you would also think is a no-brainer but for some reason DBZ is, like, the ONLY FIGHTING GAME SERIES that has this - and it will become my favorite fighting game ever.

Were certain clothes locked to certain races in DBO?

Because it would be fun having a Namekian fight in the orange Turtle School gi, or a Majin in Saiyan armor.

[up]Only the generic equipment was tied to a certain race. Any named costume could be worn by anyone. Which means yes, your Majin could wear Goku's clothes and Great Saiyaman's helmet.

I can make my OC's a reality? SWEEET.

@Saiga: Then we'll just have to agree to disagree then. I don't really see it as really much of an issue and more of just giving Vegeta a Throw the Dog a Bone moment in a series when he's constantly shafted.

Given the fact that canon features a human wearing Saiyan armor, a saiyan wearing Piccolo's attire, a saiyan wearing the Kame Gi, etc. race-locking outfits is silly.

You can create your own character? From all the kickass races in the show? And females are also available?

Yes, Xenoverse is officially on the gaming wish list. Good thing I still have the 360.

He just got pissed and attacked. In the dub, he says it's for Trunks. In the Jap version, he covers it up and says something about pride.

Now that, is a scene I actually prefer in Kai. Could be the piano keys.

The same with Goku on Namek. He already had the power before, but the anger at Krillin's death let him tap it fully. We got a hint to it when he first bounced back against Frieza earlier in their fight as well.

It always astounded me how in Movie 6, Goku managed an Insta-Kill attack from the energy he siphoned off everyone, while they were all bruised or dying.

it's kinda hard to take Piccolo's talk about world domination seriously.

Well, technically, he did become "God".

I would so create a Female Majin named Princess Bubblegum,

[lol]

Also, at last. The day has come.

[up]A YouTube commenter pointed out once that his headcanon is that the thing against Broly was accidental foreshadowing to the Super Saiyan God.

Considering the alternative is it's total bullshit, I'm willing to subscribe to that theory.

My headcanon was always that Goku just struck Broly's weakspot, the place where King Vegeta stabbed him as an infant. And since Paragus is such a bastard, he probably didn't bother, or was too scared to have Broly's wound examined/stitched up properly. Then, when Goku struck it, it was the colossal pain from that attack that left Broly paralyzed long enough for Comet Kumori to crash into the planet.

Of course, why would Goku wait that long to abuse such a weak spot if he knew about it - and assuming he didn't, which he couldn't have, then he won on a fluke - and why would he wait until his friends and family were pummeled to decide that gathering energy was the only way to win? Broly even gave them a minute to Senzu-up before attacking again.

Goku's kinda dumb. He might not have realized that taking all his friends energy would work.

I just came up with a theory right now, that maybe the Z-Warriors had been striking that weak spot the whole time, but it wasn't doing anything.

Hitting weak spot is pointless if you aren't strong enough to actually do any damage, which only happened when he absorbed his buddies power.

Then as you said, he was lucky enough to hit that specific spot on the first try, and this time, he had enough strength (he could have well put all his power into that one attack) to actually damage it, and hurt Broly enough for your theory to come true.

Actually... that was my theory, I just didn't want to go into detail. I agree with what you said. It makes the background event of Broly being stabbed as an infant more important, which I like, and subtle. Rather than just straight angst, it was actually important to Broly's defeat, and gave him a credible weakness.

Then I thought about how Goku fired the Kamehameha point-blank. What if it wasn't fully-concentrated? After all, he's just been knocked back, and Broly was advancing on him, and Goku aimed it right at his face. Plus Broly saw it coming.

Then there's this scene. But I'd Hand Wave that as Rule of Cool.

Good god, how I dislike the Japanese soundtrack here. The silence does work better at certain points, but the orchestra is bland and repetitive when it's not playing for the Red Ribbon Army or Frieza.

You know, that Handicap is another word for Coffin joke seemed much funnier the first time I heard it.

Guess I have no reason to like Broly anymore, just like everybody else.

Ya know, I was watching Goku vs. Piccolo(Jr.) from Dragon Ball, and I notice there are a lot of parallels between this and Goku and Vegeta's first fight.

Double post because Xenoverse.

Some new pictures, including art for the confirmed races so far and the first female Earthling (first male Majin too, I guess).

This game looks so good it is mocking me.

Reached Cell's final form. It was mentioned that Vegeta gets shafted a lot, but he us the highest kill count of the main cast, and several times he has become the strongest in all the land.

He does this to himself,

Vegeta definitely got shafted.

But in his character and direction, not power ups and fights. His character really took a nose dive in the Android arcs, though the Boo arc improved this. Even then he never reached the heights of his Saiyan-Namek awesomeness.
