Eh, Goten and Trunks aren't exactly nothing compared to Goku/Vegeta. Unless you're talking about the advantage of their father's higher forms, but in the same form the difference shouldn't be huge. Goten was able to spar effectively against Gohan after all.

[up][up][up][up] That's clearly the design of Froze, Dragon Ball Heroes' Hero avatar for the Freeza Clan. I wonder if they'll be a playable option or just appear as NPCs? I only really wonder that because they seem like they'd be harder to come up with customisation options for.

If they are able as created characters, I really really hope they don't contradict the way the species works. I want to see them all have the true form of Freeza and Coola and then build transformations (up or down) off that.

[up][up][up]Yes, but Vegito comes with the little caveat that, Buu's super-magical-fun-time innards aside, it's sorta permanent. tongue

Good thing they have Boo handy then, isn't it? Vegetto is reusable, convenient and exactly as permanent as they choose.

So in other words, they create new earrings, kick the ass of whoever is going up against them, then create a forcefield and let Buu eat them.

.......they should have tried that in Battle of Gods!!!!!

But then again, if Kibito Kai and Old Kai could do that, they would have.

Or not, since they already know Goku and Vegeta won't do it.

Well, the extended edition of Battle of Gods has Goku specifically state that fusion probably wouldn't work.

Between Freiza, Cooler, Cold, Chilled, Kuriza, Froze, Rezok and the Changeling Berserker (who I like to call Zero), they have plenty of appearance options to fiddle with in customization. They're probably using Froze as an example character like how they're using the human protagonist of the DBO openings in some screenshots.

Also, I wonder if Fusions would be an option in customization...

Hah, I forgot that they could just have Buu eat them. That's a pretty bizarre utility.

[up] Yeap, aired on TV in Japan and is coming to Blu-ray in English.

[up][up] That was another idea for the fanfic I had planned.tongue There's actually a lot of synergy there.

[up][up][up] They do, but they also don't where clothes and differ significantly when they transform. It'd be a completely different customisation game and I don't know if DIMPS is willing to do that.

I also doubt fusions will be an option because that sounds like it might be difficult to work with. Worst case scenario hopefully you have enough CaC slots that you can just make your fusion as a separate character, like in UT.tongue

On that topic, my two biggest wishes for the character creator mode - lots of roster space and easy customisation for multiple characters. I hope I don't have to play through story mode once for each character I want to create to unlock all the options (like in Ultimate Tenkaichi and I hope I am not limited to having 3 characters at a time. I want something like Soul Calibur V - anything you unlock is for all characters you create to use, and you can create a tonne of them.

One thing I love doing with the Dragon Ball games, and the thing that gives them their re-playability, is the ability to play out my own stories with them. A decent CaC feature would be a HUGE addition to that.

After that, all we need is a story mode editor. That might sound ridiculous but it's been done in an anime-based fighting game before.

Or helping Freeza become immortal.

Or...Making Yamcha...Win more than one...Cough...I'm sorry, it's just so hard to say this...

...making Yamcha win a couple of-AUGH! That would be blasphemy on what Dragon Ball stands for!

Yamcha doesn't fight in the story mode though. He shows up to say he's useless, then gives you his energy.

Unless there is an option to convince him to fight or something.

Gotta love how Yamcha sucks so much that something like Dragon Ball has been meta with his failures for so long.

Yamcha was useful like once in the entire series I think.

[up]Making fun of Chaotzu is like shooting a fish in a very small barrel. With a cannon. Also the fish is already dead.

There are a few potential examples and both of them are rather arguable if they were needed.

And they're all in the first story arc.

At least Gohan thinks Yumcha's cool, if the fact he keeps stealing his hairstyles is anything to go by.

They share two, and one of them Gohan had before Yamcha.

[up][up] Oh yeah I forgot that. Not going to count it since Goku could have done that.

The examples in the first story arc are -

Giving Goku's group a car (not needed since Oolong can fly and Goku has the Kinto'un)

Taking out two Rabbit henchmen and saving Carrot!Bulma (really something Goku could've done)

Telling Goku to use the Kamehameha on the wall, allowing Oolong to thwart Pilaf's wish (what good would it do if he got it anyway? Just beat him up). Still ended up being Goku's transformation that got them out of there.

Holding Goku's tail while Puar cut it (is Puar so shit that it couldn't cut it regardless?)

Exactly this. Dragon Ball fighting games are my go-to games for making my own stories to play through.

I would use Mortal Kombat for their larger roster of female characters, but they have yet to introduce the ability to create your own custom Player v. CPU battles. It's Story Mode, Challenge Mode, or Pv P. Meanwhile, Dragon Ball just covered the female issue with the Character Creator, so Dragon Ball wins.

Giving Goku's group a car (not needed since Oolong can fly and Goku has the Kinto'un)

Oolong collapsed when he became a Scooter for Bulma, and the Kinto'un won't let those who aren't pure of heart ride it.

Taking out two Rabbit henchmen and saving Carrot!Bulma (really something Goku could've done)

But Boss Rabbit was going to crush Carrot!Bulma if he tried anything. Yamacha joined the fight to even the score.[[/quoteblock]]

Telling Goku to use the Kamehameha on the wall, allowing Oolong to thwart Pilaf's wish (what good would it do if he got it anyway? Just beat him up). Still ended up being Goku's transformation that got them out of there.

......You got a point here....I mean, even if the wish could be granted, why couldn't they kick his ass afterwards?

Holding Goku's tail while Puar cut it (is Puar so shit that it couldn't cut it regardless?)

You want to try cutting off someone's tail when they are a crazy giant Were-monkey that could kill you dead (and this one didn't have mouth blasts).

Now, I'm all for making fun of Yamcha (well, I am now) but you don't need to twist everything he's done to make him a bigger loser. Just use the facts.

[up] Oolong doesn't need to carry Bulma, Goku can. He's shown the ability to carry people who aren't pure of heart and with his strength she wouldn't even need to shrink. Then Oolong flies on his own.

But looking at what Yamcha does, it's easy to see that Goku could have accomplished that on his own. He's much faster and stronger and has a weapon that extends at high speeds. If the intent was that Yamcha was actually helpful it was very poorly conveyed.

And as for Puar trying to cut the tail of the rampaging murderbeast - well, Yamcha had to grab the tail of the rampaing murderbeast to begin with, didn't he? So if he can manage that on his own, why assume Puar can cut it? Yamcha's feat just shows that Goku left his tail open.
