I say "revelation" very loosely, because of how much he hypes it. I kinda rolled my eyes when he mentioned it.

Re: GameInformer Interview With Christopher Sabat

Sabat promises to "blows your mind" with a revelation about Vegeta's "BADMAN" outfit and it's origin. " It's cheese ," was given in one read. Nice. Any information on when he plans on revealing it? And what does the cheese line refer to? That's all I wanna know. He des...

GameInformer Interview With Christopher Sabat

If you have just under a half hour's worth of time, it's a lot of fun to listen to Sabat gush about the series. Overall, some cool stories and tidbits from Sabat that may or may not have been in panels or past interviews, but here's some stuff that caught my attention: Characters in FighterZ are se...

Re: Episode #0429 (15 October 2017)

How did I miss this interview last year? This was a lovely read, thanks for sharing and discussing. I really liked your input on the Z-shift in particular, because the general opinion that fans have is that the Z-rebranding was a conscious hard divide between tone shifts/content - and that has never...

Re: Saw DBZ in its entirety for the first time ever

One moment that stood out for me was Freeza's torture session with Kuririn. In the manga it was one quick stab and then he tossed him aside. In the anime... it was uneasy to watch. From the music to the blood spilling out of Kuririn, to him slowly losing conscious and his inner monologue, that all ...

Re: Saw DBZ in its entirety for the first time ever

Animation and design wise I'll always go with the 23rd TB era and early Saiyan Saga stuff. But there's also the Boo arc with beautiful character models. I couldn't agree more. I just had this conversation with my girlfriend (of whom just finished all 42 volumes) and you echoed how I feel about the ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Granted, Ultimate spamming used to be a thing in XV1 (and I am 100% guilty for having done it for Z-Ranking the later PQs), but that was directly addressed and overhauled for the sequel. That was because of broken game mechanics for Saiyans that made time inconsequential. Especially with ultimates ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Ultimates cannot be "smacked" out of start up. They can, but that's only if you use your Ultimate at the wrong time, allowing your opponent to get behind you and break your stamina (I'm pretty sure how much stamina you have doesn't matter in regards to if you'll be broken or not. Though I...

So Videl decided to settle down and act more level-headed because she's married and has an infant to look after and she's suddenly out of character for not acting like a teenager? I don't get that I'm intrigued to know the other examples, though. For me, it's more that the transition from the Jump ...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

Honestly, I still want cutscenes for ultimates. I feel like right now there's no real distinction from super attacks to ultimates. Like you do an ultimate, and you get smacked right out of it with a simple punch. For the start up anyway. It just would make the ultimates much more impactful. ...did ...

The Little Things, Unseen

Lately, I've been reminiscing about the ups and downs we've collectively shared as a fandom over the last two years - specifically watching Dragon Ball Super. While most of us were pretty disappointed with how lackluster the show had been in retelling the last two movies, there was still much to be ...

Re: Your favorite original soundtrack from the games.

The opening theme for Budokai 3 is to my ears one of the most DBZ-sounding songs from any of the games. Whenever I get to the final match of a tournament and that song kicks in it just feels like Dragon Ball . It's one of my favorite little tunes to play as a warmup. There's a reason for that. His ...
