Like, I think the game had the perfect amount of GT before the DLC came out.

Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, Omega Shenron and Super 17.

You don't really need anything else, because GT barely used anything else anyway.

I mean, they didn't even have Pan turn Super Saiyan as part of their what-if scenario, so what was even the point if they were just going to make her a damsel-in-distress again?

Did GT Trunks actually do anything? I don't think so!

...I mean, I'd rather have all of the Shadow Dragons than just the two that are recolors of each other.

GT's story in Xenoverse peaked with Neo Ginyu Force. That was the best part of it, one of the best parts of the game, and I'm going to say better than anything in GT proper. Even Super Saiyan 4 and the Shadow Dragon Saga.

The Parapara Dance is a fantastic skill and I love using it.

...Other than that though?

I still can't believe Dabura isn't playable in XV.

Do you really want Dabura? I mean, I guess XV has a Majin race, but Dabura is anatomically different from them, and what would he bring to the game? Paralyzing spit is a Game-Breaker and indecent.

Xenoverse is the best DB game I've ever played

To be fair, I haven't played Xenoverse, watched a bunch of videos and the entire story mode, but had no intentions of playing it.

That said, Budokai 1 is still my favorite, partly out of nostalgia, and partly because it's the only one that faithfully recreated the original scenes. Granted, doing that for every single game would be daunting, but Budokai 2-through-Tenkaichi 3 really wore me down with how boring their cutscenes were.

It's funny that GT Nappa had more story in Xenoverse than in the actual GT series.

When Xenoverse does eventually get a sequal, I think they'll probably do a story revolving the timeline split that happens after the Buu Saga (the GT Timeline/the Online Timeline/the Super Timeline) and probably have Towa and Mira try to cause chaos and merge the timelines.

Imagine Naraka, the Red Pants Army, Cell-X, Baby, Super 17, the Shadow Dragons and whatever's gonna happen in DBS all combining due to the Time Breaker's schemes.

...because he was dead? I thought that was the point, Vegeta even gave him a chance to run. This was one of the better scenes.

[up][up] I'm not sure Super is going to count as a separate timeline.

Super and Online will at the moment share the same timeline as of now UNTIL Super contradicts something from Online.

It's Toriyama, he forgets everything. tongue

I mean, because that's the case, you could argue that the first chapter and last chapter of Dragon Ball don't really share a timeline, and therefore none of it is the same.

My personal theory is that everything is canon, it's just that at certain points in the series, the timeline splits off for some reason or another, like Future Trunks' timeline, Future Cell's timeline and the GT timeline.

I would have also gone with the multiverse-theory, but apparently each of the 12 universes aren't alternate versions of each other, so that blows away half of my headcanon.

Technically, well, they don't.

The first chapter of Dragonball leads to the Future Trunks timeline, and from the moment Future Trunks showed up at the 'main' timeline, we've been following the timeline in which Trunks came back, because the original timeline leads to Trunks' future.

So there's:

The original timeline that leads to Trunks coming back in time.

The second timeline, which is the one we follow.

A third timeline, in which the remote control was used and Trunks used it to destroy 17 and 18 in the future before getting killed by Cell.

The first one is the timeline Trunks comes from.

The second is the one we follow.

The third is the timeline that Cell comes from.

The thing is that split timelines and multi-verse theory are almost the exact same thing. The only thing that really separates them is that one happens naturally while the other requires interference.

But yeah, because of the Android Saga, everything is canon to some timeline, the real question is which one is canon to the main timeline (the one that goes Dragon Ball up to last chapter > Tarble OVA > Battle of Gods > Resurrection "F" > Super [presumably] > last chapter of Dragon Ball).

It's the same thing as with the Nasuverse and the Second Sorcery.

Well, if this storyboard is any indication, DBS might actually take place after the manga.

Well I just downloaded Pack 3, time to go find Elder Kai.

I hope there's more DLC after this.

What would y'all do if a future episode of DBS had this mofo in the background.

He doesn't do anything the entire time and no one notices him. He's just.... there.

Yeah, i'm in the U.S. I just went on the PS store and downloaded it.

I already beat the first new PQ, and the Great ape one. Got the scouter, Gohan's pants and one of the new moves. Shit's dropping like crazy.

Also, PS 4 doesn't have an issue with the download as far as I can tell.

That explains how I got it then.

I'm thinking it might be quicker and easier to just gather the Dragon Balls 14 times and wish to level up.

The chances of Dumplin being in anything not-TFS related are next to zero. It would be funny, though.

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

You're going to have to hope you get the option to wish for more level when Shenron shows up.

Bullshit. My stats suck right now, I was planning on using the extra levels to fix them. Got 60 for health and Ki, 70 for attack, and 68 for Ki Blasts.
