All I know is that a Machinima contract is the bane of a lot of people's existence.

Machinima are short films or, uh, shorts made from gameplay footage. Red and Blue is one.

That I know, but don't they require editing of the actual game itself? I know Warcraft machinima rely on a third party program, for instance, which pulls files out of the game.

I don't see that kind of thing being possible with Xenoverse.

[up][up]Oh right. Those things.

I totally thought you were talking about some unknown race in Dragon Ball.

Oh well.

They don't always require third party tools, but I don't see how a game like this could be used to make machinima. What with the splitscreen, back-facing camera angles, and limited non-combat animations.

So just for shits and giggles, some theories:

wild mass guessMany of the techniques seen in the series are variants of Old Kaioushin techniques that somehow trickled down to the lower races.wild mass guess

Shunkan Ido / Instant Transmission / Instantaneous Movement was based on the Kaioushin's Kai Kai technique. Obviously, the Fusion Dance was based on the Fusion Earrings, and for something you might not of thought of, King Kai may have gotten the idea for Kaiouken from rumours of a Kaioushin god who could unleash the hidden potential of others.

How do those ideas strike your fancy?

And here's another one:

wild mass guessOld Kai being sealed in the sword was the death knell for the Supreme Kaiswild mass guess

It's not made clear if he gained the Hidden Power unleashing ability after fusing with the witch, or if he always had it, but afterwards, in the event that the Supreme Kais faced an enemy too strong for them to hope to defeat, (like say, Buu) they had someone who unleash any dormant power they might have had to power them up.....

But he got sealed in a sword, so a replacement was needed; a replacement, who, while willing, was woefully underprepared for Buu's arrival, along with the rest of them, and had nothing to offer to help them win the fight.

So whether Beerus really was the one who sealed him or not, getting put in the Z-sword was the worst thing that could have happened for everyone.

If Gokule goes Super Saiyan 3, does his moustache grow several feet long?

I wonder, could Gokule possibly even go SSJ? What would it look like?

He's half-Saiyan, so I have to assume it's possible.

I wonder how much Hercule would actually weaken Goku if they fused?

Or would he not really have any affect at all? It was never made clear if the Old Kai became weaker by fusing with that Witch or not (though he did gain the Power increasing ability as a result).

Also, any comments on my theories.

You all must pay attention to me!!!!

[up][up][up] He has no need for such tricks.

Also he's been Heroes for a while now. Makes me wonder why none of the other Budokai 2 what-ifs got in - the only reason I can think of is that Gotan was seen in the anime/manga, and not invented for the game. But I don't see why that'd stop them when they're including a whole range of things, including other video games exclusive forms like SS3 Everyone.

Gokule was seen in the anime, briefly; after Gohan was absorbed by Super Buu, thus depriving Goku of the ability to fuse with Gohan, Gokule appeared in an Imagine Spot as Goku considered his remaining options.

Yeah, that's what I meant. It also happens in the manga for one panel, although in SD style.

He says he could. He doesn't, and uses Super Saiyan-esque power ups instead.
