Well at least Dimps got the character-to-arena proportions down better. Spikes always made the characters seem way too big for the stages and in some cases among each other, like Kid Buu being 3/4 Goku's size and etc. I just wish they fixed the effects on the Kamehameha, I never liked what Xenoverse did on those rippling distracting wave on the launch effects. Stylistic or not I prefer the accuracy they had in the Skin Budokai games.

Basic ki blast parry and The blast attack deflection feature from RB1 would be great.

For me, there just needs to be a mode similar to BT2 for the original cast to level up and that's it. No need for their story to do that.
Id settle for if they did something similar to UT, where they gave us 1 streamlined normal story mode and the other would be the altered version that allows multiple and conditional endings.

Ehh, right now it seems like his demands are a step backward at this point. I really don't want a RB3 if its just going to be RB2 with 5 new random henchmen characters and altered lighting on the models. I'm tired of Spike's production format.

Females with short hair is just... meh. Videl looks, like, a Super Saiyan better with long hair. (Well, maybe 50 times is a bit much...)
And also, I don't. Besides, I can use them as much as I want; they're there, aren't they? :P (sorry)

In general they should make all the character attributes available for CaC options, I was pretty peeved how limited XV1 was with hair, while you couldn't use anything from the defaults or the NPCs. All the hairstyles and costumes featured on the characters, (Whis' hair, Vegeta's hair, Time Kaioshin's hair.. etc) should be options to use, and not as wigs.
Anime Kitten wrote:Nope, it was actual Super Human as far as I'm concerned. That's what I want them to do with XV2: SSJ equivalents for every other race. A God Frost Demon or a Super Namek God Super Namek would be amazing. It'll probably never happen, but it'd clear up the bias to Saiyans.
That would make Saiyans and humans identical. A Super Human may as well be the Max-power mode that Roshi has.

Stats on clothing don't need to go, we just need secondary slots to choose what style people will see. For example, I could have full gear with full stats on, but I want my character to be shirtless and still keep the stats. That's where secondary slots come in handy. Just like in DC Universe Online.
There is no reason stats need to be applied directly to the clothing, it should just be off the character's attributes themselves, like Budokai 3's stat chart.

Raging Blast 3 is just the name. He's said it many times that the project is a combination of features from past dbz games in one game.

I don't want an RB3 but I would like Xenoverse the series to use the ideas in the RB3 project. I want more stages,costumes,and characters. I also want deeper brand representation for the attacks and transformations.

Ah different strokes for different folks I guess.
(I don't have a problem with it, they can be super useful, but if you over use them, it's kinda weird :lol: )

I would love it if that tournament island from Movie 9/Bojack Unbound were to be in Xenoverse 2. That location was awesome! Imagine 3 v 3 fights on a location like that.

I really don't get why some people think girls have to have to have long hair and guys have to have short hair, when what looks better just depends on the person, not the gender.

So we might get gameplay Friday then? I really hope there are more characters on the demo then just Future Gohan and Turles.

I'm all in for Gine making it in, especially if they make her like young Gohan: someone you do NOT want to piss off.

I do hope Gine is included. I'd like to see Xenoverse version of her colorization. Extreme Butoden is pink and Fusions is moss-green. I'd take Xenoverse version over any other portrayal of her until we get Toriyama's colorization. I also want to see her interaction with many characters, not to mention who could dub her.

Gine and Fasha?! That'd be fun.

Also I'd like to hear how Mira and Towa react to the Universe 6 fighters.
