Complete BT3 Info and Discussion Thread [UPDATED 10/02/07]

Yeah, but in this game it's a bit better, but since Tullece got erased from existance it's weird to see him just pop up again and fall to his knees then flat on his face

They could have just not put him in there and Goku could have still give his speech that he did at the end without Tullece lying dead in front of him.

Yeah, but I think this is just the result of them being a bit "lazy" as they just seem to use the script von BT2 for this cutscene and didn't rewrite it to count in the vaporized Turles.

But hey, he GOT vaporized and this alone is great.

I was just wondering:
In Movie 13, when Gohan fights the lower half of Hirudegarn, he is "Mystic Gohan".
So why is there no mystic gohan "saiyaman" costume in BT (2/3)?
(of course not the "saiyaman" transformation, just the clothes like Gohan adult had as second costume)

[Humpski]

They even made him only wearing one glove. Great attention to detail.

I kinda wish i never saw any of this because i really wanna get this now and i gotta wait till november.

Oh well I suppose phantom hourglass and worms open warfare 2 will keep me busy

BTW is that the 17 from GT and does it mean that the 2 17's can fuse in free battle mode

[Prince Vegeta]

We have ssj 3 Goku in Saiyan armor.

Nah, that's normal 17 alternate. Same as the Budokai games did it. Finally. The stupid brown pallete swap in BT1/2 was annoying.

I didn't think they would make a seperate character for the 2nd 17. I was just wondering if in free battle mode if you picked 2 17's could you combine them (Probably not though)

[Xyex]

Highly doubtful. He's not even a transformation for 17 like Super 13 is.

Anyway, the intro is now on YouTube. Sucky filmed off TV quality but it's up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt3ZXk0R3xw

Is #17's ultimate always the attack with #18?
I was wondering, I read on some sites about the game and it was stated that the teams would be important.
Like having King Cold AND Freeza for the dual combo or #17 AND #18.

But now I saw a video in one of the links above that shows #17 using this ultimate without #18 as a partner.

So, was this "team combo" thing false information?
Do these characters always have their "helpers" as ultimate?

Another thing I am wondering about: I heard in early news that tag team should be removed as Free Mode would be a good substitute.
Is there recent information whether this has happened or not?

Hey, fans of man-humping, sorry to disappoint you. Looks like Bardock advanced to the next level of politeness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y2RU2kEaU8

And check out Cell's transformations as well. Very little comment, because in my opinion, the only impressive transformation is the one going to Super Perfect. The other transformations can only be appreciated in the story mode, because doing it several times in vs. mode is just annoying.

Edit: And looks like PPATOC's at it again.

Edit 2: Ugh, there's a lot of delayed audio with PPATOC's videos. I REALLY hope that he's/she's playing the bootleg (not that I support it) because the horrendously delayed speech in story mode will basically kill the whole game for me.

[Humpski]

Here's a video of all the characters and stages available by default.

Here's a video showcasing some menus. They look really nice.

Also, I saw a video of the "Dragon Points" mode. Looked kind of interesting. You've got 20 points to spend on your team of characters and each one is alotted a certain number depending on the strength of the character.

[Adey]

As far as the videos show, the sagas themselves look pretty short so you won't spend ages on one saga with every single fight, but..the fact that so many people are unlocked already, it's a nice change but..eh, that takes away a lot of the incentive to play.

I dunno.

Also music appears to be unlockable as do stages, cool

[caejones]

If not being forced to play a million fights is the opposite of insentive to play, the actual gameplay must not be worth normal battle mode.
Which, I hope to be not true.

[Son_Gohan]

The only way any DBZ games in the future will surpass this one, is if...

They gave every Saiyan character all the SSJ transformations, that would be awesome.

Looks like all I really wanted are acounted for.

[Xyex]

Hmm, I don't know. The story mode being shorter is kind of nice but... it needs to be decent enough length to properly cover the sagas. So hopefully they didn't cut too much of it. Though I can understand the reasons. It's a lot easier to mae a few seconds of dialogue and then a normal match (ala BT1 and 2) than the style they used for this new game for the story battles.

As for the already unlocked characters. Oi. That's another toss up. It's nice to have such a large variety of characters without having to spend hours playing the game first. It'll definately be a nice thing for the renters. XD But with less characters to unlock and a shorter story... the game wont last as long as the first two did I don't think.

lol, yeah.
It was something fun with some custom characters in gm or mugen, so it would fit in 3d as well for whatif or just for fun ^^

But as great as BT3 already is, there are many things they can do in the future for fighting games like BT.

There are many more characters that haven't been used yet (lol, all those "I'll kill myself" about missing characters in BT3 should make this very very obvious ).
I'm currently not even thinking of GT Goten or something, but some minors like Kibito, Pui Pui (as seperate character) or other Piccolo Daimao demons.
And before they make "real" originals, then they can consider making something that could be "whatif" like SSJ for all saiyans or Vegeta SSJ3 and so on....

I think, there are many things in gameplay and mechanisms they can do.
Not to talk about more stages (or bigger stages - perhaps in 3d-games some effect like in B1 (Kami's Lookout) Hyper Dimension, where you could hit your opponent to another "level").

So, there are many things they can do in the future and I hope, they will continue creating DBZ fighting games.
