[up]There are some instances where there is no such thing as a canon of a work's events.

Canon is about authority. It's up to a creator to decide whether or not to exercise that authority.

Which Toriyama has done.

Of course.

Frankly, I don't see why ambiguity is a problem. Or why different interpretations are necessarily a bad thing.

Some interpretations can be really out there, but. Equally, making fun of them seems kinda rude.

Ronald Knox deserves the blame.

I like Xenoverse fanart.

If Voice 8 proves popular... which it has... it's likely that the guys who dubbed Xenoverse might hire Team Four Star again next time.

If we're lucky, they'll allow Team Four Star to write a distinct 'personality' for each voice. Hopefully this'd include the female members too so we could have females with more distinct voices.

The FW's personality is up to you, even if they will always act sorta heroic and battle-loving.

I'd still like to have conversation options, where you can either be a splendid diplomat who will solve major crisis by talking or a douche-bag who give the finger to everyone (s)he met, or the Z warriors recognize you (wasn't that guy helping us out of Namek ? What is he doing here against Cell ?)

...Since Namekians only drink water, why do they have those fangs?

And. Can they drink like tea, or soup broth, or juice or something?

Do Piccolo or Dende drink milkshakes or smoothies?

Maybe they can't drink water straight from the ocean and have those fangs for biting into those Namekian trees? They're tree vampires!

I'm not sure how I feel about Bioware-type conversation options in Xenoverse 2.

I kinda doubt they'd change much.

I imagine it'd be really basic.

They could probably try to give some questions at the end, and have your character behave thanks to the answers, or something, let's keep fw neutral.

Yeah, screw it, have your FW just be somewhat neutral in the cut-scenes.

It's still weird to see how your FW can look like a cold-hearted badass, but can still has Fat Buu's ultimate.

I have seen the light of Trunk's willpower and it is glorious.

Also, I can easily call bullshit on Frieza being the strongest fighter in the universe. The Z Fighters stated repeatedly that King Cold's power level was higher than Frieza's.

That's because Freiza's cybernetic implants prevented him from accessing his true power.

Frieza do mention that, aside from Goku, only his parents could cause him pain in his fourth and final form.

When? Again, just watched that saga and I don't recall that being mentioned anywhere.

Also, unless the implants cause him to lose a LOT of power, he was still in his final form while they said that King Cold made Frieza's power seem puny in comparison.

I'd personally rather they keep to doing just one voice option. Something nice for their fans, but those that don't find them entertaining can ignore it. Works out for everyone. I personally find most of the voices they use in Dragon Ball Abridged to be annoying, which is the main reason I stopped watching.

[up]I've heard it wasn't a dub added line and was also in the Manga. 'Course my source isn't completely reliable so there's a good chance i'm wrong. I'll try to find the link to where I heard it in case anyone wants to check it out.

Frieza do mention that, aside from Goku, only his parents could cause him pain in his fourth and final form.

Not even that much. He compliments that nobody but his parents "were able to get dust on him" before, which is a separate line from his outrage at Goku for the x20 Kamehameha managing to cause him pain. Frieza using 50% and Goku at Kaioken x20 are both at 60 million, and with the Kamehameha having a higher battle power than Goku himself, for one brief and glorious moment, Goku's attack was stronger than Frieza's defense - before the latter raised his power in response.

As in many other cases, somewhere between making shit up for the anime and making shit up for the English dub, the idea of Cold being stronger than Frieza was invented. Nowhere in the manga is this supported and, in fact, the opposite is repeatedly implied.

If it makes you guys feel any better, Yamcha's the one that said Cold was stronger, and we all know Yamcha's track record in everything but failing. tongue

...Xenoverse needs a Villainous Mr. Satan.

And I don't mean the purple aura, but like the full transformation.

And. God.

I think it would be amazing if there was a part where he just wrecked Whis's shit.

It would be amazing.

I mean, it could be a parallel quest, he could be the inadvertent villain of a DLC Time Patrol arc thing.

I dunno.

The Legendary Super Satan.

[up]There is nothing about seeing that video that doesn't make me so disgusted I want to violently vomit out my own internal organs. I despise you so intensely that I can't tell if my vision is blurry from my hatred of that song, or my unforgiving rage. If allowed, once I am completely sane again I will gut you with an honest-to-god smile on my face, and then proceed to paint the home I build from your bones with your very blood.
