My first impression was, if I recall correctly, from a Sega Mega Drive magazine article. Similar to Kunzait, then. Also similar was that I had a Street Fighter association with it. It was just a one-page review of a particular DBZ game in the import section; not a particularly favourable review, unl...

Also, One Piece Season 2 Pt. 4 has shipped, that means my Dragon Box is coming with it!! I'm VERY excited! This is totally off-topic, but I'm in the same situation only my Dragon Box is coming with One Piece Season 1 Part 2. On a side note, I think maybe VegettoEX's mention of how much he dislikes ...

Out of interest, is there any solid info out there on how exactly each stat affects different things? Like, how does your Power and their Defence get calculated to figure out damage (and what the Defence values of the various enemies are)? I'm especially interested in how Luck is used in the various...

I'm even slower - I'm just about to get the honey from the old lady (already have the egg). I know that generally in JRPGs, Attack/Power/Strength/etc is the stat to raise since it basically means you can kill the enemies way quicker, thus taking less damage and therefore making defence less of an is...

Just to add to that but I'm sure many/most of the countries in Europe have their own way of saying "z" that may not be "zed" or "zee" since there's only one country in the fifty that make up Europe that speaks English. For example, Italians pronounce PC like "pay c...

I feel like I'm part of some small third faction - I don't like either musical score. The Japanese soundtrack sounds massively cheesy, dated and corny but in twee, innocent way whereas the US soundtrack sounds massively cheesy, dated and corny but in a juvenile "rawk" way. I totally unders...

I notice from those stats that you really focused on Recovery and Luck. I've have been focusing on Power and Luck with the idea that if I kill them quickly enough, nothing else really matters. Is there a general consensus on what the important stats are and what the useless stats are, if any?

That's an improvement I was hoping for, Herms. I found one of the most annoying things about the original game was the typical blight for DS and Wii games; using those "innovative controls" when it'd actually be better to use the traditional d-pad/face button control method.

As it is, these part of the game feels like a photo album of DB filler; "Remember that bit when they go through that cave and fight that guy?" "Oh sure I do, I think it went a little like thiiiiis~", then you play that moment in the form of a traditional turn-based JRPG. Actuall...

Nice plug. :wink: I've actually only read the manga up to when Radditz appears (and have only watched DBZ and GT, so I have my experience split neatly between manga and anime). Buying the whole manga is one of those things that I've meant to do for ages but keep putting off. One of the main reasons ...

I'd also like a sequel to SDBZ. Budokai never felt like an actual fighting game to me but then I don't really like the "dial-a-combo" fighting games. As has been said a million times, very rightly, the Sparking series is more of a DBZ simulator than a fighting game. What I'd really like to...

I'm enjoying it very much so far. To get my one complaint out of the way, it forces you through a series of very linear, not particularly connected, very undeveloped storylines for at least the first hour and 20 minutes. They could have made up some more non-canon stuff to knit it all together into ...

Um...What? Well it would be nice if you'd expanded on this so I don't have to guess exactly what you're questioning and risk giving an irrelevant answer. I'm saying that, just as you wouldn't write GANBAtsuTE even though that is a 100% correct Romanisation of the word, and would convert it based on...

It's not surprising they're changing so much. MMORPGs tend to have the settings forced around the framework of the genre rather than being able to adapt to a particular setting or story. You can't really take a world where a handful of fighters save a worldwide population of useless humans from evil...

As a mod on another forum, I'll just point out that it's only really considered necrobumping if you don't add any new info. Like if you just say "I agree" to a post from last year or something. Though as a not-mod on this forum, I don't want to tell Mike and co. how to run their forum! Any...

Also, just for the record, when me and the only real life friend I have who likes DBZ talk about it, we tend to mainly focus on the characters and when we do talk about the fights, it's in the context of the fighters' personality. So how Piccolo is more strategical or how Vegeta just blasts out ki w...

OK, cue massive response... :) Romaji is just the use of the Roman alphabet to write the Japanese language. Gambatte and Ganbatte are both romaji, even though only Ganbatte is an accurate Romanisation. Furthermore, if you wanted to be really anal about it, insisting that you should account for each ...

I'd actually be really interested to meet a girl that like DBZ just to see how she views it, as you said yourself. Whenever I've watched anime with a girl around, it's always been like "Aw he's watching his cartoons again" in a jokey but openly anti-anime way. There were a few times I watc...

Hmm. let me see... Well I don't seem to have made a lot of these mistakes that people are listing, though they're just the sort of mistakes I can imagine making. One fairly common mistake I made was in thinking that Pilaf and Garlick Jr were the same person - but I'd only seen screenshots of Pilaf a...

Yeah, Norimaki is okay, but that Son just bothers me..... if Song Goku is transcription of Son Wukong, I don't get it then, because he isn't Wukong with surname Son in Journey To The West. In English translations (at least my one) he's just referred to as the Monkey King or just as Monkey. However,...
