I guess trying online won't hurt. Do I have to buy the Playstation Plus or whatever it's called? If yes, than i'm definitely not playing online. Don't have any extra money that I feel like spending on a membership i'll hardly ever use. Plus, i'm sure I suck at this game so I don't want to pay to lose to like 90% of the people I fight.

PS 3 or PS 4? PS 3 is free but PS 4 needs PS+ for online play.

PS 4. Well that sucks. Eh whatever, i've had more expensive paperweights before. Maybe i'll check out that new Dragon Age game or something. You ask me it's the only game that seems even half way decent.

Anyway, i why Dabura wasn't in the game. Kinda odd that they'd reveal Towa as his sister, but didn't have her powering up her brother so he'd survive buu.

I don't think she wants Dabura alive, since Mira is who she wants to be king of demon world.

Yeah she doesn't actually care about Dabra.

@unnoun Blue Hurricane is awesome if you use it right. It lasts longer the more people get caught in it. I'm a strike based character, so if it's 3 on 1 I can kill all 3 of my opponents in one usage of Blue Hurricane. I'm tempted to get Satan's Ultimate so I can force people to focus on me and get caught in the Hurricane, but I'd have to put points in ki to use both.

So Supreme Kai of time and Trunks were off the mark when they assumed Towa wanted to avenge Dabura's death.

Makes sense, then, why she didn't empower Goku in order to let him kill Buu.

Since Mira will be DLC, i hope he has special banter with Cell.

Gotta say, I'm not really digging the whole "Towa is Dabura's sister!" thing. She's his Cooler, and Cooler wasn't that fascinating of a character largely because "I'm Established Villain's sibling!" isn't that fascinating of a motivation. As unfaceted and one-dimensional as Frieza was, Cooler was Frieza without all the menace from his suspenseful build-up, and I worry Towa's going to be just as wasted of a character by mistaking tacked-on family relationship for characterization.

  • COOLER: I'm here to avenge my brother!
  • GOKU: Wow, you and your brother actually had some closeness to you? Like, you guys care about things? That does loads for-
  • COOLER: Of course not! We're shallow, evil bastards! I would have killed him myself if I was arsed to!
  • GOKU: ...then why are you seeking revenge?
  • COOLER: Because f*ck you, that's why.

Except Towa hasn't mentioned Dabura at all. She doesn't even seem to care that he exists/ed. [lol]

It's not like she has to do much to surpass Dabura as a threat, since his main role was showing how much Gohan has slacked off.

It gives Trunks and Skot reason to underestimate her and misjudge her motivations and plans.

It emphasizes that she's actually the sort of person for whom family doesn't actually mean a lot to. Which, to be fair, is also true of Goku. But not, interestingly, Vegeta.

I mean. Cooler introduced himself as Frieza's brother, and that he was there for revenge. It was in the title of the movie.

With Towa, it's Skot who mentions who her brother was. The heroes looked up information about her and assumed it was relevant.

The weird thing is that Dragon Ball Online made it seem like Mira was the main threat. He's the one that keeps being mentioned as being leader of the Time Breakers and the PTO and stuff.

And, the even more weird thing is that Trunks still treats him that way in Xenoverse. But Xenoverse, what with the part where we actually meet the two of them and all, makes it clear that it's blatantly untrue.

EDIT: Side-note, does Xenoverse mean that Frieza's race reproduces asexually?

EDIT: A usage of the create-a-character system I probably like more than I should is the ability to make characters that aren't already in the game. Like Gine. And Nekomajin. Chi-Chi.

And when I played with the Frieza's race section of the character creator before I made my Saiyan lady it seems like you could make Cooler?

Uncle Cell.

Vegeta no.

"Skot" makes me consistently burst into laughter. Brilliant, DB thread. Brilliant.

Anyway, Cooler wanted revenge for Frieza because their family would look weak if the man that killed the head of the organization was left to run around without retribution. Perception is key when you've a Galaxy-spanning pseudo-slave ring going on.

At first I didn't like the detail that Towa was Dabura's sister because she didn't need that in DBO and it seemed like a Cooler thing, but the way it plays out with it misleading the heroes is pretty cool.

#12495: Mar 22nd 2015 at 6:34:16 PM

Yeah, it ultimately seems like she doesn't care, since it leaves her to take over the demon real for herself.

Or maybe she did care, just not enough to bring Dabura back.

@unnoun: She does care about her husband though.

Saiyans don't go bald.

I like Stupidoomdoodles's stuff, but had to nitpick that one.

EDIT: I mean, obviously there ARE bald Saiyans, as Nappa can attest, but according to Vegeta, Saiyan hair never changes after they grow up, so we can assume Nappa was always bald.

I think it's entirely possible and probable that 99% of what Vegeta says when he talks about Saiyans is just posturing.

Especially since they all died when he was 8 and the only sources of information he would have had after that point would have been Frieza, Raditz, and Nappa.

The last of whom is a Saiyan that used to have hair that eventually went bald.

He only had hair in the Bardock special, though, which was anime-exclusive.

I'm trying to remember if Vegeta's assertion that Saiyan hair never changes was also anime-exclusive.

Let's see, he said that after he came out of the time chamber and someone asked why only Trunks's hair grew... I'll go look.

Side note; that was kind of small hair growth for a year.

I have a message from another time...
