...what am I even DOING here?

For all we know, they might decide to do that. In all honesty, the Super Saiyan transformation is so convenient that I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to give a reason for it.

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

[up] That and the fact that they always come back stronger when defeated but not killed. We're never told there's a limit to this, either.

It seemed to stop being a thing once Super Saiyan is achieved. After all, no one got any noticeable boosts in power after getting wrecked after the Namek Saga.

I kind of got the impression that Future Gohan would have beaten the Androids if he still had both arms the second time.

Nope. In the manga they admitted they were half-assing it even when he had both arms. Gohan never had a chance.

[up][up] I don't recall the History of Trunks being mentioned in the manga.

Unless it was mentioned in that special chapter where Trunks goes back and wrecks them. In which case, give me a minute.

Gohan's still freaking strong and he got the job he's wanted since he was four. I have little problem with where he ended up.

Hm. So they do. Dragon Ball Vol. 33, Special: Trunks: The Story, Pg. 10.

Hm...speaking of Future Gohan...

The manga of the Trunks special came out just before the Cell Games started. That is, when Toriyama had already decided that Gohan was going to surpass Goku in strength. And yet, he still decided to make Gohan die and not even stand a chance against the Androids. Obviously, Future Gohan was going to have to die, otherwise he would have gone in the time machine. But it's strange Toriyama made him so weak. He knew how strong Gohan was in the main timeline at that point, despite being many, many years younger.

That's why Toriyama has Goku explain that he only saw Gohan's potential due to the RoSaT training.

Also, Gohan didn't have anyone to train with and Vegeta and Trunks show us that training by yourself doesn't get you nearly the same results as training with someone else.

I think I read a fan thing where the Saiyans started off as Great Apes and evolved into their smaller human forms.

It might have been multiverse.

Bearing in mind that's bullshit, from a scientific standpoint, I actually sorta liked it.

I think Super is supposed to have 100 episodes.

I'd a imagine it's a bit longer considering it's a revival of a popular franchise.

When I saw "bonus campaign" i was hoping for more story.

A boost to your score and zenny output in PQs does not intrigue me sadly.

I think DLC 3 might have more story on its own.

Not sure though, I guess.

[up][up][up] So i'm guessing only those that play online will get the bonus shit? I already have more than enough Zeni, and score means next to nothing for me. If someone has been playing since launch, there's really no excuse for needing a boost to Zeni earned. Plus, it's already extremely easy to get so this "bonus content" seems like a waste in my opinion but whatever, i'm sure there's people that like it. I really just want a level cap increase. Or give us like some free costumes or something instead. Or just let us play as Villainous Mode Satan, he's already in the game just make him a second costume like all the other VM guys.

It's convenient for leveling all my characters to 80+ at least. I would have preferred an increase in drop rate though.

Everyone wants an increase in Drop Rate. Everyone will keep wanting an increase in Drop Rate until Drop Rate just becomes straight Drop, either in an update to this title or in the sequel.

They're probably afraid that increase in drop rate will cause a decrease in play time. Or something. I'm gonna go think up excuses in case that didn't make sense.
