No hype is best hype anyway. It means you won't be disappointed when the game turns out to be a decent game, and not the glorious shimmering beacon you were expecting.

Besides, it can't possibly be as bad as the Rock Paper Scissors simulator, and while I don't think Battle of Z was terrible, I don't think Xenoverse can be that mediocre. They have to learn how to stop fucking up after a while, don't they?

So, since King Piccolo wished for eternal youth, does that apply to Piccolo as well, since he's reincarnated King Piccolo?

IIRC, Piccolo Daimao wished only to restore his youth and power, not for eternal youth. I may be misremembering, however.

Huh, I heard that him just wishing for his youth back was a mistake in translation.

Because wishing for your youth back and then killing the dragon seems a bit short-sighted.

It might be. Saiga can probably clarify. He knows everything.

Well, just say that if Piccolo did wish for eternal youth, would that carry on to Piccolo Jr?

I don't see why it would.

After all, when it comes down to it, they are different people. Sure, Piccolo is a reincarnation of his father, but his body and personality are both different, and Piccolo clearly isn't pure evilness.

Besides, it's not like he needs it. Kami lived at least 300 years, most likely a lot more (I usually see a ballpark of around 500 years) before he was a decrepit old phuck.

In a hilarious sense, if you look at the existence of Junior as an extension of the wish, then Piccolo did get eternal youth, or his youth restored. First by becoming young again, and then by being reborn as a new person.

But I'm sure Saiga will say that's totally wrong explain things properly.

I've played the demo of Xenoverse and I know that it is FAR from being like BOZ. It doesn't really feel like RB/Tenkaichi either, it's more or less a free-roaming version of Budokai. Also, the controls felt really tasty.

Edit: The First SSJ is in the house!

Piccolo was pure evilness when he was born; it was Character Development that changed him, not an inherent difference between him and Piccolo Daimao. Functionally, they're the same person.

[up] Goku said that Piccolo Jnr was less evil from the start.

Piccolo Daimao did just indeed wish for his youth to be restored.

From this video, we've got a new stage. Looks like there will be a lot of stages in this game!

Also, spoilery, but we've got portraits in the game. It confirms Super Saiyan 1 and 2 for Boo arc Gohan, Super Saiyan Goten and Super Saiyan Gotenks, which were rumoured not to be in earlier.

edit: So the story mode of Xenoverse makes some strength comparisons between BoG and GT... SS4 Gogeta defeats 100% Beerus and Whis. Since it's a video game they usually just do whatever the fuck they want, but feel this will cause a shitstorm regardless.

It may cause a shitstorm, but I totally buy it. I mean, I'm running on the God and fourth level having somewhat similar powerlevels, and God Goku made Beerus go all the way to 70%. Gogeta is more than the sum of his parts, and I'm sure God Gogeta would stomp all over Beerus.

There's a Dark Vegetto portrait. I hope he's part of an actually difficult boss fight this time. At least I won't have to fight him after 59 other characters only to be told that I can't have him. Fuck you Battle of Z.

Ignoring the annoyance I feel for SS 4 Gogeta beating Beerus and Whis, why does Pure Buu have two dark portraits while everyone else has one?

So do Cell and Frieza. The question is why.

Well, I suppose you can look at it this way:

Super Saiyan God is the combined energies of six good hearted Super saiyans (and they just barely pulled it off too with the unborn Pan) in one body.

Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is the combined form of the two strongest warriors in (one of their potentially) strongest forms.

.....Just because God form is powerful and......

Yeah. I don't even believe it myself. Lets just say video game logic, and I'll drop the issue.

We'd have to know how well SSJ 4 Goku would've fared against Beerus. We know that SSJ 4 Goku and Vegeta are at around a similar level, so if SSJ 4 Goku can even fight at 50% of Beerus' level, then that'd be enough for SSJ 4 Gogeta to win that fight.

He'd probably still get stomped by Whis tho.

Personally, I see Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta being Whis' equal, if only because I'm of the opinion that Super Saiyan God Z!Goku and Super Saiyan 4 GT!Goku were equals in power.

I'm perfectly okay with this.

My question is why there are "Dark Forms" and then "Shiny Dark Forms?"
