SSJ3 hair is too difficult to animate!

Doubt SSJ3 will ever appear again. It's too cool. That's the complete opposite of what they are aiming for nowadays.

You don't think SSJGSSJ or Golden Freeza are cool?

Hell no to the former.

Golden Frieza in the Xenoverse pic looks cool. In the movie, he looks pretty lame, though I owe it partly to all the goofy facial expressions he makes. Modern DBZ overuses generic exaggerated, kawaii facial expressions for characters. :?

I hope so. The form was pretty much useless and stemmed off a lot of "I could, but won't/can't"

Could kill Fat Buu, but doesn't. Super Buu and above? It's useless. Give it to Gotenks? He dicks around and lets the timer expire. SSJ3 made little to no difference in the plot at all.

Xenoverse Freeza looks exactly like the Freeza (with aura) in the movie.

Which is the best part of the Buu arc cause it made the stakes higher unlike the 2 arcs before it which had the new forms be the key to saving the day so doing that a 3rd time would feel very repetitive.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Got any pics?

Movie:

Xenoverse:
The Xenoverse Golden Frieza has more feminine facial features, a smaller nose, and pinkish purple skin, making it a bit more reminiscent to his first form instead of looking like King Cold. Xenoverse's art for that form is really cool. The movie version... :?

I honestly don't see a damn difference between Golden Freeza from the movie and Golden Freeza form Xenoverse. It's just seems like extreme nitpicking.

It's not nitpicking. Same character, significantly different design. Enough so that I like one, and am not too fond of the other. =P

On a side note, I had a dream you made a topic saying you were leaving the board cause you were moving to Greece...

...I have been spending way too much time on Kanzenshuu. :?

Golden Freeza acceptable, SSSJGSSJ the worst Saiyan form, in my opinion.(The aura is not bad, but the hair's color makes me puke).
English is not my first language!
I'm still waiting for Dragon Ball in Super...

That or they didn't think they needed it it.
Considering how cocky Gotenks is, I wouldn't be surprised if he felt he didn't need it even after seeing Ultimate Gohan, Vegeta, and Mr. Buu go down with complete ease.

Sure, but I was mostly referring to the color scheme when I said they look the same.
I really like that last shot, too.

Blame current character models for the nose, though, even final form Freeza has the same nose.

Is that first picture from an actual scene or is it promotional art? I admit, Golden Frieza looks cool there. Even Bluper Saiyan Goku does (though he'd look cooler as a regular SSJ).

I've always loved the SSGSS look. Not sure what it is exactly that I find so appealing, but the blue seems to work really well.

It's from the movie, but it's just a few frames since it's in one of their fast-paced sections of the fight.

I loved super saiyan 3 so much. Like, it just looked so powerful. Majestic even.

I thought it was great how they could push past super saiyan to that extent. Super saiyan 4 is when I was finally like, okay, enough. Even though I did like the look.

It's a shame, because I always hated when characters fought in base or ssj form. You are getting beat up, go ssj2 or ssj3 already stop fooling around!
