I'm done with Ginyu Force and Fusion training. Using PQ 53 to speed up the meter is so fast. On an unrelated note I also have on of those Z Souls that makes you invincible while using that Z Soul's designated Ultimate Skill. In this case I can now span Gigantic Meteor without worry of being broken out of it.

So, Serious Bomb's description says it's Mira's as-of-now-incomplete-move. Does that mean Mira hasn't perfected it, or that the move itself is incomplete? If it's the latter, I suspect a patch will complete the move, though it seems kinda lazy to add an incomplete move into the game.

The Towa and Mira PQ is insanely easy to get skills from. Done it twice and already almost have all the moves. Energy Zone is the only thing I need from that mission. Well other than the Z-Souls but I don't care about those.

[up]Welcome to the Ginyu Force! Now all that's left is to think up a pose! Now's when the real fun begins. Me and my friends have created our own Ginyu Force poses and plan to dress as the Ginyu force next Halloween. It's gonna be awesome.

[down] That, Brock, Optimus Prime and Captain Planet are my favorite customs i've seen so far.

So three things that bug me about this DLC

1.No new stage. That sucks.

2. Towa and Mira don't appear to have any dialogue for fighting each other. Maybe I just haven't heard it yet.

3. Towa's outfit doesn't have that skirt thing or whatever it is. Plus I can't get her staff as an accessory. Both of which are more disappointing than dumb.

Fun tidbit: present Trunks' favourite food is premium sirloin, futre Trunks' favourite food is convenience store bento.

Future Trunks is every kind of awesome while Present Trunks is every kind of annoying.

Future Trunks was baptized by fire. Present Trunks was swaddled in Marshmallow Fluff.

Prsent Trunks is awesome. He's just a kid, and it's nice to see that what Trunks could be with a happy childhood.

His very existence enhances future Trunks' character even when he's no longer part of the cast.

Present Trunks reminds me of my little cousins. (Well, besides the whole Super Saiyan thing.) And I really like the fact that he's almost the opposite of Future Trunks. It makes him feel like his own character.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

GT everyone was.

I mean.

...In hindsight, I kind of hate the first two DLC packs.

Haven't played the second one's story yet, just messed around with Towa a bit.

The best part of the first one was Neo Ginyu Force.

That was amazing.

Eh, GT was alrrght.

There was stuff in Z that was worse than stuff in GT. Kind of a toss-up, really.

The absolute, very worst of DB/Z is worse than the best GT could offer, I'll give you that.

Too bad the best GT could offer was fuck all.

GT is pure shit.

Having never actually watched GT, what exactly is so terrible about it?

  • Ruined expectations of Pan & Uub
  • Tried to appeal to DB fans by making Goku young with a tail
  • Poor animation and in some cases voices
  • Blatantly have Goku state General Rildo is stronger than Buu
  • Trapped Piccolo in hell
  • If you're not Goku you don't matter
  • Shadow dragon designs were rather bland
  • Enough plotholes to make DBZ look like a tightly woven sweater
  • Even though they wanted to recapture the magic of DB the overall formula was DBZ only flaccid
  • Future Trunks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gt trunks
  • Also hey Goten lets fuse! okay Trunks! oh wait Goku says no he wants the spotlight
  • Yay! Uub fused with Mr. Buu this is going to be awesome...... oh.... ooh.
  • Super 17 saga aaaaaaaaand it's gone

The few things I like about gt are:

  • Super Saiyan 4 and Great Golden Ape designs
  • Baby/Super17/Omega being playable in games
  • Nuova Shenron
  • Black Smoke Shenron
  • Krillin's death + 18's reaction
  • The Dub Narrator

Okay, there being some random Arc Villain out there stronger than Buu makes man-made technology being stronger than Super Saiyans utterly believable. tongue

Basically everything? Poor ideas backed by poor execution. It was created immediately after the anime's end, which came after the abrupt end of the manga.

The show had a real lack of direction, starting out by apeing the earlier arcs of Dragon Ball to try to appeal to those fans without really understanding what made those arcs work (and they barely worked to begin with) while also recycling ideas in very shallow ways starting with Oolong in space.

On top of that they cut the cast down to only three characters, and couldn't even handle those characters well. Cheerful and energetic Pan from the manga became bossy and obnoxious, and she constantly suffered Aesop Amnesia.

They eventually dropped the original plan to bring back the Z tone, which they handled a bit better. They were still terrible at handling their cast, and put too much emphasis on Goku and his now outrageous power. Another sign of the show's extreme lack of direction was that they turned Goku into a child to limit his power... but then they started writing the child Goku as faaaaar more powerful than his adult self ever was. Even after the child form was made completely pointless, they just kind of stuck with it.

And then Oob's treatment. Okay for the Baby arc, arguably, but everywhere else... hahahahaha

Everything it does is just shallow and poor.

Augh, time limits suck.

I had Vegito and SS 3 Gotenks on the ropes, and I lost my chance at an Ultimate Finish because I had half a minute left when Vegito showed up.

So what's with Chiaotzu? Is he supposed to be a young kid in Dragon Ball, a midget, or what? Like he acts like a small child but is that it? Is he older but with the personality of a small child? Is he supposed to be a Jiang Shi?

I do find the way he acts in the 2nd Tournament arc sorta adorable. The way he just sits there playing with his food while Tien almost kicks the ass of a cook, and his 2nd back and forth with Krillin is adorable.

What started out as a pleasant afternoon of drugs and surgery has not gone as planned.

I like some of the ideas GT had. Conceptually, merging Super Saiyan and Oozaru transformations into an ultimate final form is a cool idea. Conceptually, having the Dragon Balls themselves as the final villain after the characters have come to rely on them so much is a cool idea. Conceptually, having Uub unlock his full power by reuniting with Majin Buu is a cool idea.

It had some cool ideas, and proceeded to utterly ruin every single one of them, in addition to its many bad ideas that it also managed to ruin despite having been bad ideas to begin with. Ultimately, the only good thing to come of GT was the Para Para Dance in Xenoverse.
