Yeah, all the new Revival of F info just seems like the comic relief stuff. I'm fine with that. Practically every movie has that. I've got to say, it's better than just making the humans the comic relief (although that might happen, too.)

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

I don't like Xenoverse's aesthetic. It doesn't say anything good when health gauges, menus, and rosters look that bland.

Wha'cha saying? Sure, the roster is a tad wonky, but what's wrong with the aesthetic? The menus look fine and the reason for the HUD bars of varying length is because it's more of an RPG flair on the game. Especially with created characters, who can level up their stats and whatnot.

I really like how the roster menu is done, but the lack of CPU HUD is annoying. The enemy HUD is actually really important for knowing when they have an Ultimate available or enough stamina to evade your combos.

Or for knowing when your next attack will kill them. Particularly when you've got an Ultimate to use and aren't pulling it off because you want to have an impressive finish.

Ohh, the CPU's HUD. Yeah, that was a weird thing they did. Oddly enough, many Dragon Ball games have been doing this recently, first starting with Zenkai Battle Royale.

I wonder how this weird trend stuck?

New trailer, Piccolo narrating the intro to the story:

Not sure what it means by "Episode 1."

Not what I mean. The problem would be when I inevitably miss and get my enemy's combo pattern printed on my face as a result of trying to Overkill.

Beerus is already the universe's strongest entity and prone to childish fits of genocide.

So Towa & Miira infect him with evil energy, energy that's seen making Raditz strong enough to repel Goku, energy that strengthens Frieza, Cell, and Buu....

Fortunately, our created character is a major Mary Sue, so we can stomp all over Empowered!Beerus solo, no prob.

Beerus is cool. He's like a canonized version of TFS Mr. Popo.

Wait, hold on, I need to figure out which misconception I subscribe to.

  • Saiyan, because they're the only race that matters!
  • Namekian, because they're more powerful than Super Saiyans!
  • Human, because I need to correct the canon's fallacious assertion that all humans are worthless!
  • Frieza, because I want to explore new transformations as my power level increases!
  • Majin, because...you know, I actually can't think of a facetious reason to play a Majin.

I'm not sure if I'll even get DB Xenoverse. I go by ratings with most games I get.

[up][up]BECAUSE THEY'RE BUBBLEGUM MEN!!!!

I think I asked this before, but what do you think are the best techniques in the series.

I'm gonna say:

1) Special Beam Cannon. Well, up until high power levels made it useless that is.

2) Destructo Disk. Same reason as the cannon.

3) Solar Flare. 'nuff said.

4) Kaiouken. Though it suffered the same fate as the district disk and the Beam cannon. But it's easy to mix with anything, and I prefer it to Super Saiyan to some extent for the Hour of Power nature of it.

That's about it. I'll my post with this thought:

If Dr. Gero had a surveilance bug watching Goku at all times, why not go after Goku when the latter was in the Hospital after his fight with Vegeta? He wouldn't even need anything super strong like 17 or 18. All he had to do was kill a cripple in the hospital.

There is a storyline in Marvel comics when Tony Stark lost his vast wealth. During this time, there is a scene where he talks to Steve Rogers about a business he recently purchased. Confused, Steve asks him, "I thought you were broke." Tony replied, "My broke is not the same as your broke."

Why is this relevant? Because Goku's "crippled" is not the same as Gero's "crippled".

Also, Yajirobe and Roshi would kick his ass even if Goku didn't feel like it.

I'm probably creating a Saiyan for my race, but I'm waiting to see what this unlock potential like transformation for the non-Saiyans is. If it's Gohan's Ultimate form I might make an original race or something using one of the non-Saiyan races.

Good point.

But I'm assuming that Gero must have upgraded himself to an android at some point (when he did it is not clear, so I assumed this would be Android Gero attacking him). It would be pretty easy for that Dr. Gero to do it.

But again, it depends on when he turned himself into one.
