Just looked at the roster for Xenoverse 2 and compared it to Xenoverse.a and there's 33 "new" characters.

I say "new" because at least 9 of those are just those Time Breaker colour palette swaps. There's 2 others Great Saiyaman and Great Saiyawoman who I'm sure were just alternate costumes in the last game.

Take those out and you've got at most 21 actual new characters which includes another Adult Gohan, Future Trunks, Bardock and SSJ2 Vegeta.

Of the remaining characters only Black and Hit (unless we're lucky with the other three unknown characters) are ones who haven't been playable in a previous game.

Not very good really is it?

No Master Roshi, Tagoma, Shisami, Baby, Rildo, Demigra, Android 13, Bojack, Dabura, Hatchiyack, Champa, Aka, Vados etc

All the best ones are gonna be DLC.

Twenty one actual new characters isn't that bad imo. And they probably will include some extra characters in the free updates they promised, too.

Is it me or does Black look too thick?

Do we know who is voicing the English versions of the Dragon Ball Super characters in the game?

Yeah, the roster is s**t. I mentioned that in a survey. At least I hope that the story will be meaningfull in any way (and original. That Saiyan arc in Beta was awful) and that XV2 won't turn out to be just an update for MMO fanatics.
Because only thing that made me happy so far with XV2 was the combat system.

His arms are just a bit too thick. That's my only complaint.
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

The amount isn't bad and the overall roster is a good size. There just needed to be more variety with the new additions because 90% of these new characters have been in plenty of games already.

Why couldn't they have included the likes of Kami, Mr Popo, King Kai, Sorbet, Ledgic, Sigma Cannon, Olibu, Chilled, Dr Raichi, Paragus etc

It's been forever since they've had characters like Tapion, Uub, King Piccolo, King Cold or Pikkon too.

Because fans hate GT and EoB with a passion. EoB isn't as bad, in my opinion, as others make it out to be. Minus is worse.

BTW, Black was that last slot after Super!Trunks.
Before everyone gets upset at the voice, remember Battle Of Z? The voice Schemmel used for SSG was really gruff in that game. Almost like his SSJ3 voice. But then in Battle of Gods and Xenoverse, it was his normal Goku voice. This could very well be the same situation.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

Was surprised and dissapointed by Schemmel's Black here but we'll wait and see what happens.

It mentions the Steve Aoki remixes will be downloadable day 1 in a special DLC pack. That's interesting so maybe you sub out the music or something.

Wait really? I never played Battle of Z so I wouldn't know. Do you know where I can find some voice clips because I can't find any?

God damn apart from the terrible music choices, that was the most beautiful cutscene we've ever had. So detailed and the fight with Bardock was pretty accurate. I recognised that bit where he flips the solider over his back.

Yeah... I really hope Sean doesn't sound like that by the time the dub gets to the Future Trunks arc... That's really not very good.

With that body... He can do EeeNEETHANG. :roll:

I really thought the direction would've been the opposite but BOY was I wrong.

Agreed. Black is not the gruff type of evil villain say like Demigras Final Form was. His calm and menacing. He basically just had to take the happiness out of his Goku and calm him down. Surely there was more input than just from Sean on how to play this voice because that is not good.

Now that I think about it, Sean sounds like he's trying to mimic Vic's Broli.
