A fighting game should not have levels.

The obnoxious idea of including XP-grinding is half the reason I put down Xenoverse and never went back.

The first 6 pages of the Dragon Ball Fusions manga.

The full version of Chapter 1 (which will be 26 pages long) will be released in next month's Saikyo Jump.

[up][up]In this, I actually agree.

The progression system should've been relegated to training from the masters and not be tied into a leveling system where you just gather experience, level up and assign stat points.

I mean, I'd even accept grinding if it was done in a different way.

Say, instead of grinding the same parallel quest for a drop over and over again, just let me find a Master and ask them to be their apprentice, then I fight them to prove my worth and when I inevitably win, they give me a set of clothes to wear to show that I am their apprentice, like Master Roshi giving the Turtle Schol clothes, Ginyu giving the Freeza Army clothes and so on. You could also have the masters change your moveset to more closely match theirs and give you their abilities.

You don't need to give the custom character every single special attack in the game, just the ones that are useful and/or cool to have. Give us the recognizable, signature attacks, you don't need to give us Generic Full Power Energy Wave.

I think most of the fake longevity given to Xenoverse actually hurt it, because people got super frustrated and wound up putting down the game simply because of how annoying the grinding was. They even had to release a patch to alleviate the problem, because it was horrendous.

I just noticed Saikyo Jump has 4 different Dragon Ball manga going on at the same time.

  • The upcoming Dragon Ball Fusions manga
  • Dragon Ball SD (a gag manga)
  • Dragon Ball Discross (based off the OTHER arcade game of the same name)
  • DBGT Animanga

Combine that with V-Jump's DBS and DBH manga and that's 6 different Dragon Ball manga running at the same time...

I always liked that, actually. It's catchy if nothing else. But I'm largely ambivalent to GT.

I'd say video games only need three Gokus on a big character roster, honestly.

  • Saiyan/Namek Arc (Base, Kaioken x2/3/10/20)
  • Android/Buu/GT[?] Arc (Base, SS, SS 2, SS 3, SS 4[?])
  • Super Arc (Saiyan that Surpassed God, SS[?], SSG, SSB)

I'll say, it's immensely inferior to Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku

Also, Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku played by an orchestra?

Just beautiful.

Acronym time, what do each of these mean:

DB, DBZ, DBS, DBGT, DBK, DBM, DBO, DBXV, DBH, DBD, DBSD, DBF, DBFB, DBRB and DBZBR.

[up][up] Neither of the Kid Goku's?

A bit late, but apparently the reason why Future Gohan still has his other arm that just hangs there contributing nothing is because they can't depict that particular injury and keep their rating.

Silly, but that's apparently what that old Raging Blast 3 fan project was told.

Isn't a version of Sasuke in the recent Naruto game missing an arm?

Also, wasn't one-armed Future Gohan playable in Dragon Ball Z Sagas?

Also, totally legit guys.

Sasuke and Naruto were supposed to lose their arms, but they were just turned black.

So an amputee's mere existence is in need of censoring?

#36848: Mar 31st 2016 at 11:32:41 PM

I was right, he was playable in Sagas:

This must mean the censorship is probably a Japanese thing.

Yeah, that's honestly kind of fucked up that amputee's apparently need to be censored. Note to self: add 'missing arm' to one of the main characters of my future shounen anime concept.
