Her moves, and ability stealing gimmick seems kinda cool. Seems like she has 4 slots for stolen moves, which is far from being just a minor thing.

A short Japanese commercial of the game.

At 00:06, you can see Frieza, Cell, Nappa and Ginyu working with the good guys, and Bulma is scolding Cell. Cell looks a bit intimidated and surprised, and everyone else (except Goku) looks at Bulma and Cell in total shock.

This story is a fan-fiction writer's wet dream come true. So happy I know almost crap about it. Going to enjoy myself a LOT next weekend.

And with Monster Hunter World too. WOOOT!

What a great time to be a gamer!

Beware of Youtube!!!

Jerks are posting the Ending and late game Story mode cutscenes on it.

[spoiler]and I have to say the way they Kill 21 was lame uninspired and unoriginal.

Basic copy and Paste of another villain[/spoiler]

She's so beautiful. And her gameplay is so interesting. Definitely she'll be in my team.

This reveal really helped in making me lose all interest in what appeared to be a bland story in the first place. Android 21 was the only thing keeping me invested, but seeing what she amounts to... Yeah, won't even bother with it.

[spoiler]After seeing her fight, #21's specials all tie to other characters but with her own flair.

She's got a Ki Blade, Candy Beam, Black Kamehameha, Angry Explosion, Death Beam and her own big finisher. but they all have unique animation.

BIG SPOILER










There appears to be a good and evil version of her.....like with buu![/spoiler]

OK now seeing as we can recruit characters in any order and still get cutscenes I want to immediately get Nappa and Vegeta back together asap.

given the 2 dramatically different Yamcha recruitment vids we've seen.

Apparently, Android 21's

[spoiler]That explains a lot, I wondered why she had so many attacks in the videos I watched. Looks like someones going to have a mental breakdown.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]However I don't think she can steal super moves too. From what I see there, it has a really slow start up with a super armor while she is charging it up, and when it hits it covers the whole screen and looks unblockable. That's far too strong for a normal character. So I guessing it's just for her boss (evil) mode, just like the instant blue health recharging.[/spoiler]

I am all for vilain trash talk and the mechanic of different cutscenes for how you play the story but unless this leads to Yamcha shutting Nappa up later,this is downright terrible and narrative assasination. It doesn`t make sense in terms of source material or even gameplay in the game. Singling Yamcha out for not being knocked out from the Waves to this is just bananas and stupid (unless again it leads to a commopauce) and is catering only to whom? Haters? Those are your buyers?

Toryama never did this. Ever.

Sorry, I lost interest.
