Probably because he doesn't actually use it in the movie.

Battle of Z, Zenkai Battle Royale, and Heroes all included it before the movie's release. I guess once it was released and it was revealed God Goku did fuck all, they just dropped it.

I'd keep it for my roster ideas, though.

Saiga desu!

My strike-focused Earthling CaC. Apparently I'm a chick in the DB universe. Hoping to put together a more unique look soon, but my options aren't great.

Right now I'm trying to gather all the Dragon Balls to unlock SS4 Gogeta for use in costume grinding, and using the pre-order SS4 Vegeta. My god, total Disc-One Nuke.

Despite that my computer can only run Xenoverse with 12 FPS, I'm loving it.

You know, I never really liked the name Rebirth Kamehameha/Kamehameha Rebirth, if only because I don't understand how Genkai-Toppa translates into "rebirth." I always use the name Battle of Z gave it, which was "Limit Break Kamehameha."

This DBHGM trailer shows Mira as well as more of Villainous Bardock:

Villainous Bardock seems to be about as powerful as SSJ4 Gogeta. Daymn, dat dark power...

Edit: Abo and Kado are coming soon!

This means that Tarble is not too far behind...

Oh, man, Xenoverse's been getting good loving, and it's fantastic. I won't play it anytime soon, but it's good to know that the payoff to all that build up was worth it.

@Rin: It's a shame I don't care about Dragon Ball Heroes as a game (Well I can't play it, but eh, even then). Intros like that are always a joy to watch, and the theme songs are infectious.

Ya know, since Abo, Kado and Jaco are having more appearances in Heroes, do you think this means they might appear in Revival of F movie? Abo and Kado were both of Frieza's men and the Galactic Patrol did say they opposed of Frieza's army.

So, anyone know anyway to keep fucking Bardock alive during his story mission? I tried spamming Super Vegeta, Maximum Charge and Final Flash to kill Frieza's minions quickly but as soon as I get to fight Frieza, Bardock suddenly starts losing health like crazy. I'm only level 70 right now so should I level up more? Use different moves? How the hell can I keep him alive?! Also, apparently items don't work on him for whatever dumb reason. And can anyone else confirm that with the first DLC a Saiyan exclusive tail accessory will be included? Friend of mine said he read it online but I can't find anything on it. And does anyone know why Chiaotzu was not included in this game? I'd gladly exchange all those random Frieza soldiers i'll never use for him. And Chi-Chi but she's not important.

So the oneshot about Frieza returning is out. The part about him coming back to life in chunks was ridiculous.

The art is so clearly not Toriyama it's almost jarring lol.

Pretty terrible plot so far. Really highlights why the main cast should always have at least one dragonball with them.

Remind me, why did they though that resurrecting Freeza is a good idea? He's the worst boss ever.

And yeah, they should keep at least one dragonball in safe place all the time.

I hope someone writes a fanfic with Xenoverse's plot but with Trunk's summoning a warrior from each selectable race instead of just one.

[up][up]Because their whole empire was falling apart and they figured he was the only one who could get it back in line. Plus, he's been dead for like over twenty years at this point right? That part could have just slipped their minds.

And sometimes you need someone like Freeza to unite their army again. You know, through a common fear of him.

EDIT: And I just realised, this has to take place 1 year after BOG at the very earliest, because the Dragon Balls were used then.

So Super Saiyan God gives godly ki, which comes off as a red aura. Then a god, King Kai, just so happens to have a technique that gives you a red aura and boosts your power? That's a pretty cool coinkidink.

I'm rather amused to see the non-Goku & Vegeta casts jobbing to Freeza's sub bosses. The gift that keeps on giving in this series....

I really hope that doesn't happen. I've had enough of characters getting Worfed. Battle of Gods already did that, why do we need to do it again? This is the reason why people keep making jokes about Krillin and Yamcha!

I don't think it counts as a worf. The one that was worfed was Goku as a SSJ 3. The others weren't defeated just to prove how strong the new villain was, they were going against a villain that was already shown to be much stronger than anything they'd ever faced before and rightfully lost.

Yea, the fodder losing isn't really anything new. We already know they can't fight anyone worth a damn, but at least they tried.

Its just one of the unfortunate things about the Serial Escalation of the series, the characters who are left behind in the power shuffle will inevitably be useless because they just simply aren't strong enough to make any sort of difference.

It's just that they're now doing this to EVERYONE who isn't Goku and Vegeta. And by that, I mean they're now doing it to Gohan and Gotenks. And more to Piccolo. It would be great if we had more than 2 characters who weren't completely useless.

I thought the whole point of the "Freeza's army returning" subplot was to give the other characters something to do where they wouldn't be COMPLETELY owned. It's a simple idea. Just split up the cast into basically power tiers, and give them villains of appropriate power levels.

The thing is, most of the villains are stronger than the last so only Goku is really capable of handling them.

It is kind of dumb that Gohan and Gotenks get shat on though when they're logically stronger than Goku or Vegeta, but the latter is kind of held back that his Super Saiyan forms drain how long he can stay fused fro, 30 minutes to 5.
