I'll throw a topic for you: the first what if character is probably Ozaru King Vegeta. Discuss! D:
He's not a what-if and was already confirmed ages ago. XP

And gah! *kicks Spike* Give me visual confirmation of Seripa, damnit! And Chi-Chi! So that I know I'm getting this game ASAP!

I think he was meaning "imagine a What-If scenario with Ozaru King Vegeta"

For example, what if the King had summoned an army of Ozaru Saiya-Jins to prevent Freeza to destroy his planet ?

By ages you mean weeks, ok then. But in my understanding of a What If character it's everything that doens't appear normaly in a series. So...

I've just been informed that Goku will have his Yardat costume in BT3. A lot of French fans seem to be pretty happy about that.

Considering how little time has passed so far since this started, weeks = ages right now. It's a scale thing. :P

And Oozaru Vegeta made an appearance, once, I believe.

Indeed.
Conan the SSJ wrote:When Bebi proceeds to possess Vegeta, he flashbacks to when the Saiyans had landed on their home planet and years later, how King Vegeta led the revolt that brought the Tsufurujin to extinction. In a nice nod to the Tsufurujin flashback in the Saiyan saga by Kaio, King Vegeta's actually wearing the primitive Saiyan garbs the race had sported before taking over Planet Plant's technology (though ironically they were capable of using spaceships on their original of planets). We do get to see King Vegeta actually go Oozaru in the flashback, so his form in BT3/Meteor isn't entirely a "What-If" (similar to Gotan/Gocule in Budokai 2) like Tullece, Nappa, and Raditz's.

o nos the topic haz 666 replys!11!
*ahem*


I recall hearing people talk about the "every fighter that's been in a dbz game" statement or something... was such a claim ever made as to the game's cast?

Hmm, now that I think of it. Oozaru King Vegeta and some other Saiyans fought against the race of Baby... so if Baby gets a not-possessing anyone form, I'd not be surprised if a Saiyans Vs Anti-fruits happened with a bunch of Oozarus fighting Baby.

After seeing the video I'm very concerned that they took out Broli's Blue haired form...

I think he actually needs one more form.
Black hair, blue hair, super saiyan hair, and then the bulked up legendary super saiyan.

Perhaps they will have the 2 versions of broly as alternate outfits.

Costume 1
Normal - Blue SSJ hair - Green LSSJ hair

Costume 2
Maybe Battle damaged from previous fight
Normal - SSJ hair - LSSJ hair

And for giggles throw in Bio-Broly as a character.

Also In the video maybe Broly skipped the normal SSJ transformation like some other characters can.

I don't think so, I think it only took him 1 stock to reach LSSJ from base. Which would indicate the middle form is gone.

"To much muscles" i clearly see that people have nothing to do when they start saying ridiculous things about "skin tone" and "muscle mass" relax people spike knows what they are doing! there not some people picked up off the street that dont know squat, they have what I'm pretty sure is an almost infinite amout of source material to go by.

To be fair, I think Shenron was right. Saiyan saga Vegeta is a skinny guy compared to later Vegetas.

Well, that and it was just a passing comment? :? *is reminded of the Saibaman-sticking-in-rock-and-shadow-acting-weird scene from Mike's neo review*

I suddenly realize how little I know in the way of controls since so much is just "press circle. And triangle on tuesdays.".

Nah, it's just not in the demo build yet. Right now Goku can't do anything but go Super Saiya-jin. No SSJ2 or SSJ3. And don't forget, around this time last year, we saw adult Goku going SSJ4. Nothing's finalized yet.

Thats only cause the level of animation at the time Vegeta first appeared made you believe so. Things werent as detailed before toei's designs improved more, so meaning that Saiya-jin arc Vegeta looks that way cause he's benefiting from the improved designs

Actually Saiya-jin arc Vegeta was very scrawny in Toriyama's original designs, as the series progressed, he just happened to get more bulky.

He kinda grew into his own hair, too.

:lol: Yes, that's true too. I guess it's just all part of the transition of Toriyama's designs from Dragon Ball in 84'ish- Neko Majin/ DB Kanzenban style.

Why should Broly's hair be blue? I find that as a very ridiculous mistake on the designers for NEO. With the head-band on, it should be a dark purple/black tone, not friggin' robin's-egg blue. And if anyone says I'm nit-picking...
