Hahaha. I would've loved this game if it came out back in 2001.

But since I'm an adult now I won't be able to play that game without feeling ridiculous.

Which is too bad because I always wanted to be a Super Scion.

[up] I still want to figure out what was the point of that game to begin with.

It's Just Dragon Ball Ultimate Tenkaichi (A game that already has a poor rep) put on the Kinect and made even worse for it.

Well at least we don't have to worry about that for the next game (we've done 4 team ups beforewink)

Also even thought it gets mad props for a physical magical girl series, I have to agree there will be no Pretty Cure on the thread. Unless you get creative and have it involve dragonball in some fashion.smile Them's the breaks.

@sockpuppet1

Maybe Goku and Vegeta were sick and tired of things going wrong when they weren't there and wanted to handle things on their own.

When he tried to fight alongside of Vegeta, Vegeta knocked his bitchass out, stole the Senzu Beans, and blew himself up.

When Goku taught Goten and Trunks the Fusion Dance and left things to them, Buu ended up wiping out almost all of mankind, destroying the Lookout, and beat Gotenks repeatedly.

When Goku left things to Gohan, Gohan screwed around and gave Buu the opportunity to absorb Buu.

Vegeta blew himself up, only to find out Goku was holding out on him and the sacrifice was essentially a waste, and he comes back to find Buu ten times stronger than the last time they fought.

Considering Pretty Cure IS Dragon Ball with girls, I don't see the problem with it.

So, it involves a crusty old lady instantly bulking up and causing an ecological catastrophe in order to win prize money in a fight with a werewolf monkey?

[up] Oh, yeah, because of the whole pronunciation issue that occurred in The Last Airbender. <Tee Hee> Then again, there's that whole thing with Kaioken, with the dispute over pronouncing it as "ai" or "ei".

I don't know about you, but I kinda wish Dragon Ball Heroes would get made into an anime series. It has some interesting ideas to it. Let's see, a member of Freezer's race (who I suspect are actually Arcosians) who is actually a good guy, a female character who is a good guy and an @$$kicker, and not to mention said female character can actually go Super Saiyan. It's a dream come true, if you ask me! [tup][awesome][tup]

If they make another Bardock ANYTHING I'm quitting Dragonball for a month maybe. King Vegeta is a more interesting character and made his way into pseudo-canon with the new movie, so give us a special on him uniting the Saiyan race and slaughtering the Tuffles, sending Tarble to a nearby sun and being subjugated by Frieza. Hell, they don't even have to show us a Queen Vegeta.

I'd hope the new characters got their own original antagonists/dilemmas if Dragon Ball Heroes got its own show/comic. I'm usually bugged by magical land/Another Dimension stories where that don't have something to offset the fact the protagonist is throwing someone a world they really do not belong in out of whack.

Dragon Ball had future Cell to counter Future Trunks, for instance. Loved it and Cell was one of my favorite villains for years because of it. Though seeing a Freeza defend innocent villagers from an evil Namek would be enough reason to adapt the game.

I still can't get over the irony about the narrator being given shit for pronouncing Saiyan correctly instead of using the dub's mispronunciation.

Oh, and about Dragon Ball GT, I know it has flaws, and I would say that the Blue Water dub and the Funimation dub were hit and miss in different areas. At least Blue Water has something that Funimation doesn't, and it's this little gem:

Funimation did a pretty good job dubbing GT, if you ask me. Understandable, given they've had plenty of experience.

Well, like I said, both dubs of GT were hit and miss in different areas. The dialogue in Funimation was probably more faithful to the original Japanese dialogue than Blue Water's dialogue. Blue Water had better music than Funimation did (although rap fans would probably big to differ).

The voices...well, I would say that Blue Water had more of the better choices than Funimation did. For instance, Kid Goku's voice in Blue Water sounded just fine while his voice in Funimation just sounded annoying. Or how about Baby? I liked his Blue Water voice a lot better than his Funimation voice. Seriously, his Funimation voice just sounded whiny and high-pitched...a lot like Starscream's voice. Why would you want a big villain who sounds like Starscream? <Snorts>

Outside of my way entertainment or the mystery science guys I do not think any dub of GT ultimately would have been able to save it.

I think so. Isn't the original Japanese pronounced something like, "Sai-ah-jee."

I thought Baby's Funimation voice was way more fitting than the Blue Water one.

Personally, I think Blue Water is the GT of GT. tongue

[up][up] Something like that. But the thing is, the English versions dropped the "jin" in "Saiyajin" and changed the pronunciation. Why? Well, maybe it's more convenient that way. Still, it's pretty interesting how in Dragon Ball Z Abridged Kaiou tried to point out the correct pronunciation of "Kaioken", and Tien called him a "weeaboo".

Personally, I think it's a little uncalled for to call someone a "weeaboo" just because you point out how the correct pronunciation of a word. <Mildly Insulted>

[up] I'll admit that Baby is immature and childish, and maybe Funimation's voice is supposed to reflect that. Still, it just makes me question how I can take a villain seriously with a name, voice, and behaviour like that. tongue
