Watch it while it lasts, given that the guy stole basically all that footage (like, not just the gameplay - he keeps the original posters' commentary and everything), credited absolutely nobody - even editing out original identifying info, and is pretty unrepentant about it.

This is the first Dragon Ball related thing to really make me appreciate Android 18's original denim look.

She looks really cool here, but every other outfit remains superior.

Super Saiyan Blue Evolution confirmed a Blast 1 Skill like Blue Kaioken (3:47 into the video):

If all it changes is the aura, it doesn't resemble the anime version of Blue Evolution.

May be inspired by the manga version but I wouldn't expect them to put box art featuring the anime version and then not reflect that in game.

On the flipside, Super Saiyan Rage also didn't look quite like the proper version. Both might still be works in progress/placeholders or they're just perhaps not that important given roster size limits and such.

[up] It does also have the darker shade of blue for the hair as well.

Though now that you mention it, it is kinda weird how the game is handling DBS Trunks. The game calls his transformation "Super Saiyan", but it has the blue aura and Final Hope Slash of Super Saiyan Rage. I thought for sure they would've made the two forms separate, because I have no idea how they're going to translate the lack of regular Super Saiyan in the story mode.

"Trunks. Now would be a really good time to get Raging."

"That's my secret, dad. I'm always Raging."

(This dumb attempt at a reference would work better with Kale or Broly)

[up][up] Does DBS only have one form then? Super Saiyan (with Rage aura and similar hair shape)?

That would be weird given that he has, at minimum, Super Saiyan 2 in both versions...

Yeah, the demo showed off DBS Trunks, and he has his base form and "Super Saiyan". It's not called Super Saiyan Rage, but it's pretty much Super Saiyan Rage.

That's... really quite strange as a decision. Either he's very much a work in progress, or they're trying to cut down on transformation bloat, but still... why cut a form that he has in both versions?

Guess they didn't have enough to fill out a moveset for Super Saiyan 2 Trunks (DBS).

That has never stopped the likes of base form Broly from Z and generic Frieza henchmen from getting movesets in the past games.

The legend has returned.

DBS Broly references.

I Kevin X makes a lot of videos from Dragon Ball games showing where moves are referenced from. Here's one he did for the same Broly in Fighter Z.

re: lack of Super Saiyan Rage and transformation bloat, it's even stranger because they have Kefla with Super Saiyan 1 and 2, despite the complete lack of visual difference between the two other than the sparks and Kefla spending pretty much all of her fight against Goku in the latter form

That's actually wild, I completely forgot Kefla even used Super Saiyan 2.

They also have Full Power Jiren as a separate form.

[up] I mean, at least Full Power/Burning Ultimate Warrior/What-the-Hell-Ever Jiren looks visually distinct enough from regular Jiren. Toei never bothered to give either Kefla or Trunks different hair for their Super Saiyan 2 forms...at any rate, hopefully this is down to it being a demo rather than indicative of some weird priorities.

And rest assured if Baby ends up in this game, either DLC or main roster, he's STILL going to have all his Baby Vegeta forms even though Super Baby 1 doesn't even have 5 minutes of screentime.

I like how it's obvious that the Great Ape is actually quite a bit bigger in Sparking Zero than it was in the past Tenkaichi games, but it's also clearly not as big as the Xenoverse raid boss version.

It's a decent compromised size with an adjusted camera angle to emphasize their height.

Janemba and Hirudegarn should be bigger as well.

I'm thinking they won't have Gohan go Oozaru, and may just have Kid Goku go Oozaru.

Sean Schemmel accidentally slipped up on a recent panel, soft-confirming SS4 Goku.

On a side note, Ranked Online is going to work like DP Battles from Tenkaichi 3, where stronger characters cost more points and weaker characters cost less points. So team building actually matters.

I can't joke about Super Saiyan 4 being DLC because I think they actually did that once with Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta.

[up] For the first Xenoverse, yeah.

Man, Xenoverse was kinda weird with how characters worked. Goku could transform into Super Saiyan 1, 2 and 3, but forms like God, Blue, and 4 were their own separate characters that COULDN'T be transformed into. Then you got characters like Frieza who not only couldn't transform into Final or Full Power, but his 2nd and 3rd forms were straight up missing.

From my memory of playing BT 3 online, doing Ranked in this game sounds like it would be a nightmare anyway. This isn't exactly the kind of series you go to for a fair and balanced competitive experience.
