[up]Well I meant their roles in the show. Master roshi was a fighter in DB, but all he did in DBZ was harass the female cast and nothing else.

And Yamcha didn't change at all, it's just the world changed around Yamcha and made him irrelevant and useless. Wait a sec...

[up][up] That's got nothing to do with Character Derailment. And he was introduced as a pervert first, only revealed to be a fighter later.

Also, he barely actually fought in the original series.

Which isn't surprising because every DBZ fans should know that non saiyans are useless in the universe (not tryna bash).

I would say the problem is that Roshi and Yamacha stayed the same.

Roshi was already old, and had probably done everything he could, so that's nothing, but Yamacha somehow managed to get stronger all the time, and yet never broke out of his joke status.

When even Yajirobe has better moments than you in Z...

Exactly.

And Yajirobe went out of his way to avoid the Saiyan fight.

He still ended up helping despite himself.

A new game apparently has been revealed, known as Battle of Z. Not much is known other than it will have 1 on 1 battles as well as tag-team, 4-player co-op and 8-player Battle Royale. Also, Super Saiyan God Goku will be playable. The game will come out for the PS 3, PS Vita and Xbox360.

It kinda looks like a fusion of Zenkai Battle Royale and DBZ Legends on the PSX. I'm stoked!

I'd rather a Raging Blast 3 not unlike the one Nostal presented to them.

Also, why only Playstation and Xbox, anyway? The excuse that the Wii can't handle it doesn't really work now that the Wii U is stronger.

Wii U isn't stronger.

And I'm super stoked for this. From the looks of things, this might not even be a fighting game.

The Dragon Ball games don't even use as much power as far as I can tell.

Is it fear of the control scheme, then?

It's probably more that they don't consider the expense of creating a port to be worth it. Wii U doesn't have a large install base at the moment.

Ah, that's a possibility, yeah.

Shame.

Of course, that can always change, but by then, PS 4 and Xbox One will be out, and likely be seen as the safer bet as always.

Actually, they won't immediately jump to those either, like they didn't with the PS3. Dragon Ball isn't a system seller and so they have to wait until the console is widespread.

Does anyone think the fandom acts too entitled and hypocritical when it comes to the show and the characters? I won't mention names.

I suddenly think of the abridged thread where one person was pointing out what a horrible monster Bulma was.

[up][up]Because I was searching on Tumblr and this whole meme explained it well. I just don't like how some characters of this anime are misjudged and unfairly hated. Even Goku isn't safe from the Ron the Death Eater character bashing.
