That's rather odd.

Maybe they need to be unlocked?

Or maybe they are DLC?

I don't think Androids even count as a race, since you kind of have to manually build them, while all the other races can be produced naturally.

That is true. Though if you take 17 and 18 into consideration, they can start out as humans.

Though those two should have been called Cyborgs, but what can you do? It's not like we haven't gone over how the Android / Cell Saga is a massive clusterfuck.

Well, considering a race of Androids like Lapis and Lazuli would kind of involve forcefully converting countless humans into cyborgs, it would kind of lead to some Unfortunate Implications.

How about an Android race that resembles 19 and Cell. (aka: a robotic/bio-android race) Other than the aforementioned 19 and Cell, there's also Hatchiyack, Bio-Men, Bio-Warriors, 14, 15, 8000, 19000, Yorgans, Sandmen, Failed Experiments, Genome and Cell-X.

Lots of good stuff to pull from to make a unique Android race for Xenoverse 2.

Androids not being in the CaC doesn't matter. The Android-style eyes are available to Earthling and Saiyan CaCs, and Earthlings are giving auto ki-regen as a racial perk. They basically are what Androids would be, although I'm not sure if you can get the Energy Drain super.

@Cru Towa being Dabra's sister is something Xenoverse first introduced.

Also, it beings up the question of who is making the Androids, since Gero was the only one who knew how to make them, and any data he had on the creation process was destroyed with his lab.

Gero had another super computer hidden under the super computer hidden under his lab.

Or maybe the 'Android' MC can just be a dood that came from an alternate universe in which that dood was the one Gero picked up for Androidification, or maybe you're the result of the Super Computer screwing up the original blueprints for Cell.

If they wanted to implement playable androids, making them available as an upgrade in-game rather than a Creator option would be a better way to do it.

Mecha-Frieza is as much an android as Lapis and Lazuli are. "Put tech in person" is more like a character class than a race.

Back to the previously mentioned "Kakarot!Goku" shenanigans.

Goku: So, wait. We only had two children?

Chi Chi: Yeeeees....?

Goku: So...we've only had sex...twice?

Chi Chi: Well, more than that, but, well....

Goku: This is unacceptable.

Ya know, I hope we get to see more stuff story-wise in a second Xenoverse, like Towa's whole revenge deal with Dabura, the creation of Mira's sister Churai, Villainous Bardock with the mask, Cell-X and other stuff.

You know, I'm surprised Bulma could even HAVE Bra. She would have been pretty old at that point.

I hope they don't forget about her existence in this movie. Otherwise, things will start getting ridiculous. She may not have done anything...ever, but she's still a character.

I got a tad selfish, but what if a future Dragon Ball game was like this.

If Xenoverse becomes big enough, I'd probably expect this for a 4th or 5th game.

Not unless technology stops improving and we stay on the current Gen forever.

Even then, easily more than 5 games. They'd probably just stop before ever reaching that point.

A lot of the transformations are completely unnecessary.

Kaioken, for instance, doesn't need to be a transformation. Goku only uses it in short bursts, and the nature of the video game ensures that the main benefit of having multiple stacks of Kaioken is lost; they can't really program that much distinction between basic Kaioken and x3, for instance, without breaking the game balance.

Similarly, "Unlock Potential" isn't a transformation. It's just a thing that Guru did that permanently increased Gohan, Krillin, and Nail's battle power. Making that a transformation is like giving Vegeta transformations for Earth Zenkai, Zarbon Zenkai, Ginyu Zenkai, and Frieza Zenkai.

Also, I find it hilarious that you gave the Kaioken to Krillin and Yamcha but NOT Tien. [lol]

@IAmNotCreativeEnough

No, see, some time before Gero's Computer died, it built a computer with its memory uploaded into it, and now Gero's Computer's Computer thinks it's Gero's Computer thinking it's Gero.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

You know what is my DBZ dreamgame?

One that has the CAC with God Hand's moveset creator.

Or maybe an old school 2d fighter. An HD remake of Final Bout.

PS: Kaioken should be relegated to being part of Meteor Moves.

My DBZ dreamgame would be an an original story with a fast paced, easy to learn gameplay. And having to fight actual enemies, not just bosses with less health.

Something like the Legacy of Goku games for a console. But in 3D. And replacing RPG elements with getting new techniques. I'm thinking of a God of War style gameplay. That kind of game.

@Tobias:

If ya scrolled down lower, you'd notice I put a point saying "each transformation has different supers/ultimates." For example, When Goku goes from SSJ3 to SSJG, his Super Spirit Bomb becomes the Rebirth Kamehameha and when GT Goku goes from SSJ3 to SSJ4, his Kamehameha becomes the 10x Kamehameha. Also, Unlock Potential is a form in Dimps games just like Ultimate and High Tension.

Also, I did give Tien Kaioken as well as Chiaotzu. tongue

[up] So, a better, RPG-ish version of DBZ Sagas?

The red kamehameha that God Goku does. For some reason it's not in Xenoverse.
