Re: Would Dragon Ball be successful in English-speaking countries if the old English dubs weren't Americanized?




Cartoon Network was a network that started out by airing Hanna Barbera cartoons. Kids don't care that much about what is "modern". Dragon Ball wouldn't have gotten cancelled. There's zero reason to think this is true. The show would do what it did in Japan - grow in popularity as it went ...

Blowing up planets

Outside of Freeze, Cell, Buu, and Beerus (as well as Roshi and Piccolo blowing up the moon, and filler Vegeta), who has been shown to blow up a planet? Did it drain them of a significant amount of energy? How feasible would be to use that amount of energy in a fight?

A lot of Versus discussions ...

Re: Would Dragon Ball be successful in English-speaking countries if the old English dubs weren't Americanized?



The better question is would the show still have been a success with some on else controlling it in the early days. Would someone else have gotten it on broadcast television or worked out a way to get it on Toonami?

Also, starting with Dragon Ball. Z fells more and looked more modern. There's a ...

But... those are post-launch DLC characters you're talking about in Street Fighter , not base-game-launch-characters. The full roster is available unlocked from the start of the base game in Street Fighter games.

It's not like you're going to be able to unlock the upcoming Super Hero DLC ...

The South Kai-absorbed Buu. The one that looks like Xherdan Shaqiri and fought Shin and the Dai Kaioshin.
He shouldn't be that overlooked, he's the first ever fused Buu.


True, but we haven't seen that version of Buu do much to warrant an entire moveset. We see a glimpse of him in the manga ...

Re: DB: Budokai losing to tenkaichi is one of biggest tragedies to the series



Right, but that doesn't make a game unfinished.


Companies release unfinished games all the time because we as the consumer have enough content to hold us over.

Budokai 3 being finished or unfinished is simply up to the eye of the beholder.

Personally I would love a Budokai 3 remake where ...

Re: DB: Budokai losing to tenkaichi is one of biggest tragedies to the series

The appeal of Sparking is it's ability to let us emulate the show. Being able to perform attacks from similar camera angles as the show. Having more characters and forms allowed is to recreate more fights and what if fights.

Also, as much fun we were having with Budokai, we were always wishing for ...

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?

We've been getting what are essentially Sparking games all along for decades. While not 100% the same, Raging Blast, Battle of Z, Xenoverse, and Kakarot play very similar Sparking. By using the Sparking name, they get some nostalgia hype on their next Dragonball game.

When it comes to Budokai, what ...

Mecha Freeza should realistically be a costume even though it's been a separate character historically.

People make the argument that Mecha Freeza can't transform

Costumes can change character's movesets, just make it so the Mecha Frieza Costume can't transform

I hope it's a Costume but most ...

There's a number of variables that the producers will have to consider when the Son family men are no longer able to be voiced by her.

How long with they wait before continuing productions?

Again you didnt get the point of the thread, Toriyama wants what you said, for Goku to find a new challenge and overcome, for eternity. Toei wants for Goku to be the strongest period. No new challengers.

I thought it was a nice ending. It makes sense there would come a long period of peace after all the major threats were defeated. In DB, it was a few hundred after King Piccolo was sealed that the Earth was in danger. Then all these threats showed up in relatively quick succession but many were ...

How do we have a Goku jr if Pan has no one? Goku is remembered enough if his great-grand kids decide to name their son after him. And we also have Vegeta jr.

I wonder the same. Literally my first impression of Goku as a kid was "man this guy sure gets beat up a lot." First episodes I saw were the Ocean dub Tree of might episode and when he was in the hospital after the Saiyan fight.
