How would you make DB characters fly ?

Post by Draconic » Thu Oct 20, 2016 4:06 pm

Since this is one of the main issues with OG Dragon Ball characters being included in games like the Xenoverse series, how would you make them fly? I'd go with:

Kid Goku - riding on Kinto'un
Muten Roshi - riding on baby Gamera
Tao Pai Pai - riding a black Kinto'un
Piccolo Daimao - he already flies
General Blue - he levitates
Adjutant Black - he fights in the Battle Jacket

Other characters that already fly: Devilman, Tambourine, Chaotzu, Krillin;

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I may be in the minority here, but I actually was fine with the way Tenkaichi 3 handled it - characters that couldn't fly normally were able to do just the initial flight (which a newer game could make into them jumping really high into the air) and slowly sink down through the air back to the ground. Then maybe include a feature where you're able to attack some kind of item (like the potara in that game) to make them able to fly as normal.

Naturally for Kid Goku though, they could cheat and have him be able to jump on the Nimbus.

I want Krillin to be able to inflate himself like a balloon, like he did at the Budokai.

Easy: Kinto'un for Goku and Chichi, jetpacks for Yamcha, Kuririn, Roshi, the Tournament fighters and the Red Ribbon Army, and Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Giran, Daimaoh and Daimaoh's offspring can fly. :D
Senbei can also make Arale able to fly if there were Time Breakers in a DLC Paralell Quest as well and Android 8 might have the ability added as well. :D

Yup, this is pretty much the best way to have non flying characters while staying "true" to the series. Goku can have the Human Awoken Skill from XV2 as a transformation as well.

I 100% agree, the only problem is that Xenoverse has some stages that don't actually have floors so I don't know how that would look.

I think Bandai should just give them jetpacks like Hercule. Just give them all jetpacks since it's a video game.

My idea

DB Kid Goku - Kinto'un (Flying Nimbus)
Kid Chi Chi and Adult Chi Chi - Kinto'un
Master Roshi - Baby Gamera
Kid Kuririn - Limited Flight
Namu - Limited Flight
Giran - Flight (He does wings)
Pilaf - Battle Jacket
Mai - Jet Packs
Arale - Flight (She is a gag character. You can throw all logic out of the window)
#8 - Limited Flight
General Blue - Jet Packs
Tao Pai Pai - Black Kinto'un
Akkuman - Flight
Tambourine - Flight
Piccolo Daimao - Flight
Cyber Tao - Jet Packs

Just don't make them fly and make them move really quick in the ground, and adapt their style to a more ground fighting style, and instead of flying they would jump to the opponent and do a combo before falling to the ground, and instead of teleporting, they would get to the ground quickly with after images and get behind the opponent with after images aswell, and they wouldn't push away as much as flying characters do I guess. There are ways of making them fun to play as while still having a XV style.

There was an item in either Budokai Tenkaichi 2 or 3 that if you equip it, that character can fly. Helped tremendously with the DB characters.

Part of Arale is that flying is one of the few things she can't do.

So...I'd give her a jetpack. 8)
