Best Super Redesigns?

Post by HourglassIndigo » Mon Dec 28, 2015 9:05 pm

Another controversial thread started by me, sorry! So we all know that supers art style has a bit of a different art style compared to Z. A good bit of characters have gotten new outfits and updated designs, so which ones are your favorites? I personally like Bulma's FnF design and also like Goku's new Gi. Which ones do you like?

Vegeta's gi/armor looks cool. I like the whole pads, small cape or whatever below his armor. I like the shorter hair look of Vegeta.

Gokû's new dougi; I love it to pieces. It is my favorite dougi they've ever given him. I don't even care that it was a pity-gift from Whis in-universe.
Vegeta's new armor is also pretty cool.

This came from FnF, but I like Gohan's style in it/Super, he looks cute :mrgreen:
Also Bulma's wet hair in ep 17 was good :D

... Actually, now that I think, Super hadn't redisign anything... it all comes from Toriyama/Yamamuro designs for F and BoG... :think:

ROF Bulma and Goku by far.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I didn't think I was going to like Goku's or Freeza's new design, but I admit that they've started growing on me. I feel like Goku is taking a step out of the shadow of the Turtle school and whichever his latest mentor happened to be. I feel like they could have standed to fill out Freeza's muscles just a little, like half the size of his "100% battle power", it would have helped him not feel entirely like a gold coat of paint on the same character. I really liked Kuririn's new look in RoF until he decided to shave his head again, seems pointless now that he's not living like a monk.

Can't stand the new Vegeta, something about the colors and the designs on his under-suit just doesn't look right. I thought Cell-arc Vegeta's design was perfect so I hope they'll move a little closer to that eventually. I'm indifferent to the latest Bulma and chances are she will have changed her look again before too long. I miss Videl's short hair, very underrated look for her.

Vegeta's armor probably, and it will work equally well in every transformation/form. Bulma can rock any style so that's hardly surprising. I liked Kuririn's BOG haircut too

I don't dislike Gohan's F haircut on its own, but his character had already too many haircuts and should stick to 1 'iconic' look in adult form. People had troubles making sure who it even was on first ROF poster because of always-changing Gohan/Goten/Yamcha hair

If we're counting the designs and choices we'd already seen in the two movies prior, then I'd definitely have to say Kuririn's hair and his outfit (but especially the hair) for Battle of Gods and his first appearance in Resurrection 'F'. I was never a fan of Kuririn's hair in the Boo arc, but I am a fan of him growing hair, based on the reasons he gives for why he grows it out. There's just something about the hair itself and how it looks that makes me not crazy about the Boo design, but this hair style? It really works for the guy. To the point that I'm disappointed to see him lose it, even if it is in favor of him training again.

I'm also pretty pleased with Goku's new gi. It's not largely different, but just different enough to feel like a nice change of pace from the same old orange-and-blue that we've had for so long now. Do hope we eventually get to see him move on to his end of the series blue gi, but this will do nicely enough for now.

He doesn't appear much, but as to not repeat what everybody said, I think Tenshinhan's BoG desing is amazing. I like it much more in green than yellow, like in RoF.

Bulma definitely. She looks a LOT better than she did in the Buu saga.

I find Gohan's Buu arc design (including Ultimate) the less cute designs for him :P
if it wasn't for his personality he would have been another character.

Talking about the new designs again, I forgot Tenshinhan's outfit, although I like F's colors better than BoG's
I also like Krillin and the pilaf gang designs (they do look cute :3 its a shame I don't like most of their includings)

Well, Super takes the designs from the movies (so far). As such, my favourites are Kuririn from Battle of Gods and Tenshinhan from Revival of 'F'. I do like Vegeta's new skinsuit/armor, but it's not my favourite outfit of his.

I'm liking Goku's as a half-way point between his Cell & Boo and EoZ Gis. I'm not crazy about Vegeta's armor, the blue or black works better for it and Vegeta discarding it. Plus I like the idea of the armor discarding as a visual way to show his development.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

RF Goku & Vegeta, BoG Kuririn.
I really love the new outfits of Goku and Vegeta, at first it's not that different from they're previous ones (Goku's still with orange gi, Vegeta's still with armor), but after getting used to, I think it's A LOT different from they're previous ones, and for the better. I like Vegeta's gray clothes under the armor, and Goku's new gi have the feeling of a REAL LIFE gi.
Also, Kuririn's BoG design was amazing. He got new cool clothes that while they're different from what he had before, they still featured the Kame kanji. And his new haircut was perfect too. It fitted his character so well (unlike his Boo arc haircut) which made me sad when he shaved his head in RF.

And yeah, I need to find better signature.

ROF Goku, Vegeta and Bulma design are brilliant. BOG Krillin and Tien also look really damn cool.
