Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" (PS4/XBO/PC, 2018, Arc System Works) Official Discussion Thread

Does the story AI ever get harder? ~25% through and they just stand there most of the time. Yes, but not for a while. I don't know why there are so many tutorial matches littering the board throughout most of the first arc. There's no way you won't end up getting multiple repeated tutorials. And ev...

Re: "Dragon Ball FighterZ" (PS4/XBO/PC, 2018, Arc System Works) Official Discussion Thread

Got my copy delivered to my place of work on Friday. Hooked it up in the boardroom at the end of the day and had a handful of people drop in and play a couple matches before taking off for the weekend. It was a good time. I finished 2 of the 3 arcs of the Story mode over the weekend. I'm definitely ...

Re: Frieza Dub VA Replaced?

It's most likely Daman Mills, Chris Ayres's understudy. He did a little bit of work on Freeza in an episode of Super: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MebPM73k5U0

Re: DBZ - DBS plothole

People have been bringing this up since Super started. It's in the Japanese version too. Both Goku and Bulma mention it's been 5 years: https://i.imgur.com/hSH5PyP.png https://i.imgur.com/DCpCx4e.png So yeah, unless they're both doing some generous rounding, Super has effectively retconned this, alb...

Re: A collection of screenshots for every 3D DBZ game. Which one has the best graphics?

Super Dragon Ball Z, Ultimate Tenkaichi and FighterZ are all up there in my mind. They all have art direction that does things their own way and it's paid off immensely. Kind of a shame that Ultimate Tenkaichi was so bad (or so I hear, I basically skipped that entire generation of Dragon Ball games)...

Re: How are the Animation transferred from the pages as Drawings to, well.. animations?

Nowadays for shows like Super, the drawing happens digitally on a computer. This has a bunch of advantages like making the production process cheaper (no more faffing about with cel layers), and you don't have to worry about video degradation for use of effects shots. In the old days you would have...

His understudy, Daman Mills, already voiced Freeza a little bit in Super.

I'll probably get the PS4 version first (thinking of getting the collector's edition 'cause that Manga Dimensions statue looks mighty nice), and nabbing the PC version down the road on a Steam sale or something.

I've been lurking this thread once in a while, and I've downloaded most of the episodes so far. My roommate and I are watching through the series, and I'm currently debating how to watch the Buu arc when we get there. I'm considering this one of my options. So just know that your efforts are very ap...

Re: What color is Vegeta's hair?

On the original animation cels, Vegeta's hair was always coloured a very dark brown, just off-black (not counting his early filler appearance with the bright reddish-brown hair). This is basically impossible to see in FUNimation's releases of the show due to their practice of cranking the contrast o...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" Parts DVD/Blu-ray Thread

Not sure if this has been said but... they actually spell "Vegetto" right and not "Vegito" like the old dub... thank god! "Oob" was also retained, as opposed to "Uub", or so I've heard. I'm curious as to whether these are oversights or conscious changes. Huh....

Re: Which of FUNimation's Name Changes Bother You the Most?

Well, I'm gonna hope we're counting attack names too. Honestly I'm pretty neutral to the majority of the character name changes, but god damn I hate "Tri-Beam". It's not just because the total non-translation nature of it, but it just also sounds...so... dumb . I feel pretty similar about ...

Re: Manga vs. Anime comparisons.

In the anime, there's an old man that Android 20 kills by choking him until he stops moving. In the manga, 20 chokes him so hard that his head separates from his body. There's a difference with when Tenshinhan uses/doesn't use the Mafuba on King Piccolo but I can never remember which way around it i...

Re: Are you watching the Super dub every week?

Nope. I was at first, but it started to feel really tedious. Like, I've already watched Battle of Gods and Resurrection 'F' in both Japanese and English, and I watched Japanese Super retell those stories. I really don't need a 4th go at the same plots. I did drop in on the dub to see some of the Sup...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" Parts DVD/Blu-ray Thread

I watched up until Vegeta's kamikazee sacrifice last night. Man, I knew the Z dub's translation got better by the Buu saga but there are so many lines that were word-for-word the same in Kai and it caused me to do several double-takes. Mind you, the first bit of home video Dragon Ball I ever had was...

So, something kind of interesting. In the episode where Buu kills Babidi, we knew that Toei had edited the blood to be purple instead of red.
