We all had guessed this, but just to make it official: IGN has confirmed that everyone from BT2, Japanese/PAL bonus characters included, will be returning.

It sounds like a remix of the music that plays just after Bardok is hit with Freeza's death ball & when the tree of might has been destroyed.

Though its kinda hard to hear over people talking and explosions in the video.

Appule? The guy he smashes over the head after that explosion? Yeah. Or do you mean those guys that look sorta like they're wearing masks? I don't know if they are.

First I was being sarcastic <_<
Second it's that guy that gives Bardock his precog powers

Since when does Appule looks like a fish? >_>

It's pretty much a given, though I was reading the Wiki discussion page that was posted and the one person was reluctant to list them until they were officially confirmed. But why would the developers wait so long to do it in the first place?

They've been officially confirmed for nearly a month. All these other sites and places are just slow on the uptake.

Isn't this [Meteo Combination] the attack that Goku used to pulverize Piccolo at the end of Dragon Ball?

That is old-school! I really hope that they would continue to add more classic moves such as Goku's Feet Kamehameha and Piccolo's mouth blast. (And maybe along with Tenshinhan's "quadruplet" ultimate attack.

I noticed no one ever used eye beams in any of the games.

And the Snes and Genesis games have eyebeams out the wazoo.

Hmm, where was the "Meteor" storymode mentioned, and do we know anything else about it (though I guess we can predict it would involve something that resurrects half the cast... ^_^).

Ummm... Cooler, Garlic Jr, and Lord Slug are the only characters with eyebeams, if I remember.

and Piccolo's mouth blast.
I believe it's been confirmed that base Piccolo (i.e., not fused with Nail) has a mouth blast for a Blast 2 now. Makes sense since the SBC is going to be his ultimate now.

I know at least two characters (Jinzoningen 16 and Tenshinhan) have eyebeam moves in Ultimate Battle 22). And I think Gero might use them in the Budokai series... can't recall.

AAAAAAALRIGHT! Back on topic.

Does anyone know what was up with the obscure character selection? We obviously had some main characters and some new characters, but then we had characters like Bojack and Super 13 that nobody really cares about.

Whatever happened with there being original characters made just for the game? Was that just a rumor or what?
