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

The release strategy for Dragon Ball video games is what condemned the Budokai games. We went from Budokai to Budokai 3 in just three years. By that time the latter already used most of the material and perfected the formula. Tenkaichi suffered from the same, it was easier however to promise more ch...

Re: Would you feel confident in the series if it were left in Toyotarou's hands?

No. The main reason isn't is abilities is how little say, I assume, he has in the final product. Toriyama can say to his editors: I won't do X and it will stick. Toyotarõ probably just does what he's told. If we remove the factor above my answer is likely still for many of the gripes already mentio...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 96 - Official Discussion Thread

What's up with Bulma dissing Kuririn? Was that in the movie?

Not much to say as someone who already saw the movie. Some nice drawings, that's pretty much it.

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

I wouldn't count on any new content.
Reminder they were basically done with the game a long time ago, even Labcoat #21 is mostly reused assets.

I said it before, the only reason we're even getting rollback is likely as a test for the sequel.

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

Since DBFZ would be at EVO and it's been some time, I was expecting an update about rollback netcode. There was nothing and at this point feels like they underestimated the amount of work they have to do. At least it's a good practice before the inevitable sequel. They announced before the tourname...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

How is the number contradictory to the manga if it never gave a number to him? I address it in my previous post. To be short... - 1200 rivals Raditz. - 1600 to 1200 is a 25% gap. Another examples of a confirmed 25% gap: Vegeta vs Kaiokenx3 Goku Vegeta vs Kiwi Conclusion a 25% gap doesn't fall in th...

Re: Official Unofficial Power Level Discussion Thread

My definition of comparable is based on how battles went in Dragon Ball when we had numbers confirmation and other battles when the differences were made clear. I have a in-depth analysis in a notepad somewhere and buried in this thread somewhere as well, if you'd like to delve into it. I can look f...

So this completely passed me by but we got another official power level for Raditz on an info card for DBS Broly. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/d/d1/Raditz_card_info_Broly.PNG It's 1600 now. That number is contradictory with the manga... If you make Raditz this strong then he ...

Re: Toyotarou Is creatively bankrupt

I have my qualms about Toyotarõ's work, specially lately. However we really need to put ourselves in his shoes and think how constricted he must be. You must write within the 10 year gap; you must not conflict with other mediums; you must listen to Editors, you must listen to Toriyama; you must! You...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 93 - Official Discussion Thread

Arguably Manga Goku already digressed in the ToP arc, then he had to be reminded of all he learned to get back on track. There's a difference between intentionally showing a character has forgotten lessons from a decade ago in-universe because the kind of enemies he fights forced him to shift his f...

Arguably Manga Goku already digressed in the ToP arc, then he had to be reminded of all he learned to get back on track. Honestly Goku was already contradicting himself in the Boo Arc. SSJ3 goes against his principles and behold he failed using that form. Unfortunately Goku, no matter the medium, ha...

Tenshinhan from the Namek arc forward. Toriyama gave him a speech of how he would "find his way to keep up" only to be completely forgotten. Bulma in the Boo arc. Every or most arcs had influence from her. Mainly technology, for example removing #16 bomb in the Cell arc. The Boo arc deviat...

Re: Dragon Ball Video Game Sales Discussion Thread

I'm not sure if Tenkaichi 4 will be as successful. Xenoverse 2 being custom character heavy and having support for now 7 years, an unnaturally long time and FighterZ being a competitive fighter that featured heavily at tournaments giving it a prolonged presence is what has helped those games to con...

Re: Dragon Ball Video Game Sales Discussion Thread

Time for an update with both Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ breaking the 10 million barrier! Kakarot also moves to 3rd. I don't think it will reach the other two, but anything is possible. Current ranking is: 1st: Xenoverse 2/FighterZ - 10 million 3rd: Kakarot - 6 million 4th: Xenoverse - 5 million 5th: B...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

The only thing that makes sense is that the status quo after Super Hero will be different enough that Toyotaro felt it was necessary to recap the story in order to give manga readers some context. I don't trust them. Everything feels like a whim, wouldn't be surprised if Gohan misses the next big f...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super (Manga)" Official Discussion Thread

I don't mind the adaptation and was disappointed when RoF and Broly were skipped in the manga. However, the timing makes it all disconnected and as a reader I feel like there's no direction at all. Which gives me no confidence and little interest in the current arc which seems far too safe, more wor...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 91 - Official Discussion Thread

Seem like this will be a faithful retelling adding very little. Disappointing. Kuririn and the police angle seemed interesting, shame how it went nowhere. It added absolutely nothing to the story, besides continuing the plot about how the justice system is incompetent in the Dragon World. It's also ...
