See that? That, right there? That's the kind of creativity I want to see in a non-card-based Dragon Ball game.

Dragon Ball Heroes does stuff. New, exciting stuff. It doesn't just crib off the anime, it explores new ideas.

Is slapping a tattoo on all the bad guys really "creativity"? I mean, Janemba is literally the embodiment of ALL EVIL. Hirudegarn is a huge fuck-off demon. What hidden evil is Babadi unlocking in these gentlemen? Shit, he barely controlled Buu and completely lost control of Frieza, how does Hirudegarn not just EAT him? Fuck, Android 13 is a MACHINE! He has no soul!

You forgot that being Majin-controlled equals a power boost, didn't you?

IIRC, Babidi's magic doesn't just "resurrect your inner evil", it allows him to subjugate the evil inside them (except for Majin Buu). That's how he took control of Dabura.

Thus, in Heroes meta-continuity, Babidi would have control of not only Dabura, but Hirudegarn, Turles, Garlic Jr, Slug, Bojack, Janemba, and a Super Saiyan 3. Albeit, Vegeta was an exception for semi-obvious reasons.

Yeah, the CGI is painfully obvious in the final fight scene.

And it would seem the entire cast are reprising their roles, yes even Meredith Mc Coy is coming back as Android 18 after getting darrin'd by Collen in Kai.

[up]The thing about the Art Shift is that it's very extremely obvious when literally all the other fight scenes in the series have been drawn in 2D. Can you understand why it might be a bit unsettling at first?

Eh. I roll my eyes and groan when people complain about CGI in live-action films. Animation gets no sympathy from me on that front.

^ This. I mean I agree that last punch in the trailer was obviously CG, but it wasn't really bad CG.

I'm just excited to see the movie dubbed.

Wait, Majin Baby Janemba?!

So it's Babidi controlling Baby controlling concentrated evilness controlling some demon boy?

Vegeta, Goku, and Piccolo's actors... they sound... different. Aged.

Anime voice actors aren't supposed to age. What sorcery is this?

All of Goku's lines in that trailer are actually ripped straight from Dragon Ball Kai.

Goku's "I'm a Saiyan that was raised on Planet Earth" and "I will...DEFEAT YOU" were both rather prominent in the Kai, part 4 trailer, at about 0:31 and 0:44 respectively.

Also, Meredith Mc Coy being back makes everything right with the world. smile

Almost done with the Piccolo arc.

I wish it was a bit longer, but hell, with such a perfect final fight, I'll take it.

Underrated? Huh. I always thought King Piccolo's arc was one of the more loved arcs in the original Dragon Ball.

Underrated compared to anything Z, at least.

The Piccolo arc (both parts of it) are the reason Z even exists. It deserves an ass load of credit and appreciation from the fans.

Hell. I wish the series had kept the power levels at that point and not gone any farther, since I found it to be the perfect point in terms of strength.

Nobody is so strong that they can theoretically destroy the planet by breathing too hard or anything crazier.

No they still can't.

There's never been any proof that any character can destroy the planet on pure raw physical strength without Ki attacks....

[up][up] Nah, the series would lose far too much if they got stuck at that level. It didn't need to escalate as crazily as it did (especially in the numbers) but if Roshi's going to blow up the moon in the second arc it'd just be ill-fitting to stop at destroying cities.

#6875: Jun 22nd 2014 at 5:25:47 AM

[up] Yeah, the series, needed to escalate for purpose of creating greater tension and drama. Of course, after the Freeza Arc things got way out of hand...

[up][up] Have you seen how strong characters get after the Freeza Arc Handsome Rob? Super Saiyan 3 Goku, according to Battle Of Gods, was strong enough to punch through King Kai's planet, a planet more than ten times denser than Earth and he did it like was nothing; and there are several characters much stronger than him!
