The "evil" part can be explained as their personalities changing over time. They weren't that evil at first (only regular delinquents), but at one point, they started going mad with power, losing more of their humanity with time, and decided that wreaking untold amounts of havoc was the best way to have fun.

I'd imagine that it was a combination of both 16's calming presence and Cell giving them a wake-up call. Though it is possible that Gero had modified them in more ways than just their power level, like repressing their empathy and emotions to make them more "obedient".

(x14) Confound it Saiga -shakes fist angrily- one of these days, I swear. There's going to be a topic Dragonball-related that you're wrong about, heck it might even be Bleach, and I'm going to call you on it. It might not even be me darn it, but it'll be someone twice as stubborn and resourceful!

Good luck. I spent many moons Mountain Training with the manga to one day defeat Saiga, but all it's gotten me was the ability to sometimes defeat opponents before Saiga arrives to do it. I don't know how he does it. Maybe it's because he fights for fighting's own sake....

Somebody has to be the Jackie Chun to Saiga's Goku, and stop him before he becomes too arrogant.

Or just club him upside the head.tongue Whatever works.

I can stop Saiga in Bleach. I'm too averse to reading pre-Raditz Dragonball to ever be a match for him in DB though.

I don't want to keep him from having children! I just want to give him a concussion, that way he can't be so knowledgeable.

Are those the actual character models/sprites for the game? Because I adore those.

It IS for 3DS. Obviously, they can afford more detailed sprites.

I'm surprised that they're still using sprites. I guess it's easier for them? I dunno.

ASW knows how to do sprites, and this is their first Dragon Ball game in almost a decade, so they're going all out on the roster and detail! Their style meshes well with DBZ.

I just noticed that Bulma and Chi-Chi appear to have Buu-Saga NPC sprites. That's interesting - I guess they'll either appear in in-game cutscenes or during certain characters' moves or entrance/win/lose animations.

I wonder how many others are going to appear that way. Puar is there, obviously for Yamcha, Turtle is there for Roshi and Whis is there for Beerus, but everyone else we see seems to be in the middle of fighting (I'm betting Chiaotzu is going to fight alongside Tien during some of this moves).

Bulma, Chi-Chi and Turtle can actually battle as Z-Assists. This new Butoden game is taking a few elements from the Super Sonic Warriors series, ASW's previous DBZ project, such as assist characters, team battles and the orange/yellow HUD.
