Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions


I don't know if it's much of a consolation, but Toriyama did seem to pay attention to some changing societal norms as he got older. If we compare Pan's kindergarten teacher to commander Black from the Red Ribbon Army there's a significant difference in design philosophy on display.


I like to ...

Re: Would it have been possible to seal Zamasu inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber ?

It wouldn't work as an effective prison. We see Boo very easily get out of it with a kiai.

How would you guys react if this was the next DLC batch



That should be it when it comes to major characters.

I would be happy to see Olivue just for battle lines but he has no moves so it would just be the generic stuff. Aqua would be the more intriguing option.

I do expect this game to go ...

Re: Obscure(st) Characters.

For characters designed by Toriyama, Kurilien still ranks pretty high on the obscurity scale. They brought back Ozotto...will he ever have his time?

Other than that we have so many minor video game characters like Fagotto though that feels like cheating. Gichamu is a fun bit of trivia though his ...

For $35 bucks.

You be the judge.
Balance changes as one of the bullet points is really funny though it isn't true. Part of the free update.

I personally think he replicates the voice very well so I believe I'll easily get used to it. As for Boo, I checked a recent gameplay in Japanese and i'm pretty sure it's still Kozo Shioya's voice lines. I believe the first place we'll hear his new voice actor will be one of the two mobile games ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

It will take some time getting used to Yamcha's new voice actor. It is a shame they didn't patch the character since it is hard to gauge his portrayal without the battle cries. It is cool he at least got to do all the lines in the new mode including redubbing older interactions. Will have to try Boo ...

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

We already have a good idea of the other characters they had planned for this game including a lot of extra ToP characters. It is a safe bet they will follow up on that. You can tell all these characters in this release were planned already because they have way more voice lines compared to Daima or ...

Yamcha is wearing his Kaio gi in Z3 so he has seemingly already died and been resurrected somehow.

Re: "Sparking! ZERO" Official Announcement, Pre-, & Post-Release Discussion Thread

I am curious about Yamcha's Episode Battle. Could they be using this as an opportunity to patch out Furuya? Yamcha was notably missing from the XV2 finale and I imagine it was because of the change.

Nice to see the False Super Saiyan form appear in some way in this game. I still wish they would further develop custom battle so it wasn't so awful to search terms.

It is nice to see them include the catch up from the previous editions and include a few other new characters. Still hope they get around to fixing dialogue search for custom battle. Could have been a game defining mode. Also sad there is no sign of hell.

Calling people susceptible to propaganda 'retards' isn't the win that you think it is. There's a better way to go about this than using a term that conservative bigots would sooner use themselves to describe an autistic person.

Based on the title I imagine they will be reviving more ideas from DBO. He provided quite a few designs and story input on the original game so without any well for new material this makes sense. I wish we knew the genre for this game...hoping it is a traditional JRPG myself.

Re: "Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol" (20??) Discussion Thread

I know fans of the V-Jump manga never cared about Toyotaro and always just touted Toriyama's involvement but it is strange to see this done officially. It is somewhat similar to the DBS Broly movie where there was no shoutout to Koyama for creating Broly and Paragus. Same thing with the Age 1000 ...
