Yeah, if Mr. Herms (if I can call him that) could come by, that'd be appreciated. :D

So, with all the races having a transformation now...I think it'd be pretty nice if they added a chapter to the story where your character actually obtains their transformation rather then "Do X quest Y number of times till transformation Z drops." or buying super saiyan at the skill shop. That is still one of my major complaints from XV1 and I just sorta think it cheapens your character a bit obtaining it like that, would be nicer if it was part of YOUR story. Or heck, if each race could have a teacher that teaches you the transformation! Would be cool if Piccolo taught your namekian character how to turn giant and be all "But be careful, this form is powerful but has some downsides to it!" or something like that.
Going on hiatus. Too much stuff in RL to deal with for me to keep up with posts here for now. Was fun, hope you all have a nice day and future! Volt signing off.

Yeah, I've always said this. And with all the flack Ultimate Tenkaichi gets, it did handle the custom character transformation right. You didn't just buy Super Saiyan, you got pushed to your very limits and had a dramatic transformation, that is how transformations should be handled.

In the story we should be getting beaten down by a villain, clearly outclassed with no hope of victory, but we still keep fighting. The opponent charges up their ultimate and fires it at us, we counter with a clearly weaker move of our own. Soon we are seen struggling to stand our ground as the attack creeps closer, until with one last defiant scream the attack engulfs us... Only to quickly fade away, revealing a surprised CaC in their new form.

Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi arguably had an easier time with that though, considering it only allowed for the creation of male Saiyans. The transformations for the four other races in Xenoverse potentially complicate things from a story perspective, unless you think every form is unlocked via raging emotions (...even the Earthling's Kinto-Un and Nyoibo combo), you'd have to have five different versions of the transformation scenario. That's something that would likely be easier to be handle in the sub-missions (like being Satan's bodyguard or cooking with Boo), rather than tweaking the main story itself.

You think that Goku Black pre-order character will have the pinkish transformation?

So they might not add U6 fighters to the list, but how about Vados and Champa? I wonder why Black and not them :think:

Because Black is literally just Goku with a different outfit. Not much has to go into making that, it's just a reskin. Putting Champa & Vados in the game is a totally different story despite what you might think.

He doesn't look exactly like Goku. His eyes are different and he's skinnier. The current model they have in XV is very puff. I don't think they can just shrink the model. They might have to put some effort into it. Plus his eyes are different.

Come on now... They'll use the SSJG model to slim him down and slap on Vegeta's eyes. Boom. Goku Black.

The reason Black & Blue haired Trunks are being put in before U6 is because they're already existing characters in the game that only need to be tweaked slightly so they can be released at launch as "Those awesome characters from the latest arc of DB Super!!"

It's literally just that, nothing more.

They actually can shrink the muscle mass with almost no work, they can also swap out the eyes very easily.

Holy shit, TheDevilsCorpse is a mod now?

Anyways, on topic the trailer was cool(along with the song that was playing in the middle). One thing I'm dissapointed are the abilities for the humans. While the power pole and the nimbus clouds is a good one, I still hope for the buff/MAX Power transformations. Even if it's DLC, I don't care. Hell, I even want them for the Super Saiyans. They can just make them move slow while having overwhelming power.

Also, I'm SHOCKED about the Namekian transformation. Namco, why the fuck you lyyyyin'. Now, let's hope for Piccolo and Slug having one as well.

Dragon ball Super SPOILERS!
[spoiler]There already is a mod for Goku Black to transform to 'Super Saiyan Pink'.
So I think this is the proof that Dimps has no excuse to not have this transformation with the pre order DLC for Xenoverse 2.

Gameplay related stuff, this means Pure Majin dash has an actual hitbox. In layman terms, you dash toward your opponent and hit your opponent with your dash without pressing an attack button.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

Didn't I quote the cutscene picture? But regardless, sorry for the confusion.

I still wish that they will allow us to items on non OC characters like Raiging Blast 2 did. I always like in RB2 that you can have Kid Buu fight with a Halo on his head or give Piccolo a scouter.

This is irrelevant to this game, but you can give anyone a Scouter? How?
