...And that's cool.
Only other games that did were Budokai 3 (the first to do it), Super Dragon Ball Z, and Burst Limit (it was nerfed in Shin Budokai and Infinite World). Tenkaichi only had it when he did his grab and Raging Blast only had it as a signature move.
Understandable since he only used it twice during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Piccolo also used his stretching abilities in the DBZ Movie 5.

The arm stretch attacks were pretty useful for my playthrough as a Namekian.
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.

Hopefully Xenoverse 2 will be the second game to capitalize Piccolo's Great Namek form from Dragonball, which only appears in Dragonball Online.
...well I guess Slug could count, but it'd be better if Piccolo does it or something.

I like his stretching abilities to be included, but what I don't like is when they basically become his entire move set. In the anime he uses the ability here and there, but not as often as in Xenoverse. In Budokai 3 it was handled well in that it was a useful way to break your opponents guard from a distance and start off combos. In that game he had plenty of normal attacks too.
It's nice to have character uniqueness but not in a way that takes away all finesse from their fighting style.

Re: Xenoverse is one of the few DBZ games to capitalize on Piccolo's stretching abilities
Well its nice that they're incorporating it now into his attacks; though I did notice 3 different ways it has been used in the games.
Burst Limit - "Elastic-Band" used for Quick multiple Jabs
Raging Blast - "Grappling Hook" used to pull enemies toward you. (Most accurate)
Xenoverse - "Duo Whips" used for long range lashes.
To be honest I like the RB grapple usage of the namekian arms best. If a game could utilize all three styles in some way, that would be an interesting character.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

He had stretching moves way back in final bout as well... So 20 years ago...

Before that even. Super Butouden 1 at least. Might've had them in something even before that.z_cherub wrote:He had stretching moves way back in final bout as well... So 20 years ago...

I like that it utilizes his stretchy arms.
What I would like to see added in XV2 is his "giant size" form added as a special move. Like you can transform into it, but only for a limited period of time.
