Future Gohan has always had his own slot and they've never removed his arm; that's always bugged me tho. Like if you're going to make him use his right arm for basically his entire moveset, just remove his left one.

Its really there for cosmetic purposes.

It not being there would be cosmetic intention.

That it is there is just lazy...so they can give him one of those generic rush attack supers.

I think someone here said that they don't remove Gohan's arm because something about censorship.

The implication of being maimed threatens to raise the rating in Japan. Because amputees are offensive.

Solution, don't give Future Gohan a slot. Just make it an alternate costume. He only loses his arm in the tv special anyway, and that TV special is the only reason anyone cares about future Gohan anyway. Manga future Gohan went out like a punk.

Apply same logic to Future/Time Patrol/GT Trunks.

So, what is the numerically highest power level in the franchise?

Here's what we know:

By the time of the Buu Saga, Goku had not yet surpassed Frieza in his base form. This means his base is somewhere between 3 and 120 million.

Super Saiyan 3 is a 400x multiplier. So SS 3 Goku is somewhere between 1.2 billion and 48 billion.

SS 3 Goku is ambiguously more powerful than Pure Buu and less powerful than Gohan. God only knows where Gotenks falls. All forms of Super Buu are ambiguously more powerful than SS 3 Goku. Vegetto is even more powerful than the strongest Super Buu.

Then Super happened, putting the power levels somewhere in the region of "F*ck if I know". Beerus, the God forms, and all the other shit that followed are depicted as being so far beyond everything previously established in the franchise that their power levels could be a trillion, a quadrillion, or the square root of infinity for all we know.

Although having movie villains, or including the TV specials isn't a particularly interesting selling point. For me. Who really cares if you can play as Slug? Does anyone WANT to play as Slug? Or Dodoria? Or 6 different versions of Gohan?

The more characters, the better!

[up][up][up] That's why it's okay One-Armed Future Gohan was in Dragon Ball Z Sagas, because the game was Western-Made.

I thought it was because of engine limitations back in the PS 2 era.

The characters are one of the main draws for me. Dragon Ball has a very large and varied cast. Everybody has their favorites to draw from somewhere in its history. The more of those characters that can be included, the better. One person may not care if the Spice Boys make it in, but it might be the one thing someone else was hoping for.

Personally, I want Garlic Jr. Even less likely, I would adore playing as Tao Pai Pai again.

EDIT: Unrelated to characters, I want beam struggles and explosions.

I desperately want more original DB characters. Bora, Tao Pai Pai, General Blue, Kame-sennin, Yajirobe, Piccolo Daimao, plus tournament characters like Nam, Shen, Chi-Chi, etc.

Tenkaichi 3 was a gold mine for characters from across all branches of Dragon Ball continuity. DB, DBZ, the movies, GT...you name it, it was represented. I want to see that kind of cast list again.

Guldo was in the first Xeniverse, and he can stop time for longer.

But you'd have to play as Guldo for that.

To be fair, Guldo was also short, and anyone who's played fighting games can tell you why "FUCK MIDGETS!" is such a common term in fighting game circles.

Or anyone who's played Golden Eye on the 64, so everyone ever.

Let's just say that Oddjob is like, a meter tall, and pretty much a broken character.

If you've really never played Goldeneye on a 4-way deathmatch, go do so. Few things are as much fun.

Goddamn game industry, what do you have against local multiplayer!?

Even I've played Goldeneye, and I don't particularly care for the James Bond franchise.
