Some of the worst DBZ artwork ever made... Ever.

It just looks like bad fanart. :\

Besides the obvious Yadrat Armor I mean.

Facial expressions! X3
That's something I've missed sorely about dbz games since the Budoukai series finished. At least in those three games everyone had facial expressions and didn't look "angry" all the time.

They had facial expressions in BT 2 as well though. At least when they got hit they did.

As I said before.
I'm sure I was playing as Kuririn and he grimaced when hit.

Say what? I think that Piccolo looks awesome as hell. To each their own, I suppose.

I thin they're refering more to actual expressions than simple looks. The first ttwo BT games had eyes that could close and mouths that could take about 3 poses. And that was it. This looks like it *might* have full range like the second and third Budokai games (first two, if you coun't all the expressions in the cutscenes of story mode).

Literal translations of the new characters. I'm thinking of going back and doing all the little character bios soon, too, if I have time.

71) Piccolo (Late Era)
72) Vegeta (Late Era)
73) Super Saiya-jin Vegeta (Late Era)
74) Super Saiya-jin 2 Vegeta (Late Era)
75) Trunks (Grappler)*
76) Super Saiya-jin Trunks (Grappler)
77) Super Trunks
78) Super Gogeta
79) Janenba
80) Super Janenba

*Hard to come up with a good, single word term for that in English.

I was wondering if they'd do early, mid, late for Vegeta like they did for Gokuu, with the three being Cell, Buu, and GT, but this wording just about confirms there won't be anymore base Vegetas.

The order they're going in is baffling, though. Random Movie 12 characters when there's still plenty of TV characters to add, and no other movie characters have been shown yet.

Goku Gt is called Goku GT... There is a possibility that, if Vegeta GT is there... he will be called Vegeta GT instead of Vegeta (Late).

I think the early's, mid's and late's only refer to DBZ (and maybe Ma Jr. Saga).

I guess I should have been more clear:

Vegeta (Late Era), Trunks (Grappler), Super Saiya-jin Trunks (Grappler), and Super Trunks Look very bad.

Meh. Still don't see it. Only one that looks off to me is Super Trunks and only cuase he looks almost like he's got Kid Trunks' face.

So they DO listen to the fans. Now give us Chi-Chi, damnit!

Maphisto86 · Post by **Maphisto86** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 2:15 am

Hopefully we will get more Dragonball characters like Chi-Chi.

I'm glad to see the version of Dabura's Ultimate from Budokai 3 is back:

Right in the face.

Man, SSJ Trunks(Grappler) and Super Trunks looks really bad. Three types of Piccolo, eww, when did he gets so good to be split into three. And Dabura's Ultimate does look good.

Uh.... Piccolo, Piccolo+Nail, and Piccolo+Kami. That's the only split character that actually makes sense.

I've been calling for them to either give him 'transformations' for those forms, or split him, since BT1.

gohanku · Post by **gohanku** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 9:28 am

But does he seriously have any change in attacks? I think he pretty much uses the same thing, expect for Hell Zone Grenade....

Light Grenade also, he uses it on Cell, remember?

caejones · Post by **caejones** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 10:21 am

Well, for pre-Nail fusion, the Makankusapo was like the desperation attack, while after fusions it was more casual? And his post-Kami regeneration was better than pre-Nail... and... umm... ... ... ... ...
Someone needs to make a list of all of the supers in the games and the anime and the manga and see how many of them are the same thing with different names. O.O. *suddenly realizes that would constitute an attack guide, which makes heads explode*

Umm... Yeah. I think Piccolo's better as transformations, but you should be able to start the battle fused?

DNA · Post by **DNA** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:09 am

Piccolo+Nail and Piccolo+Kami should be transformations.

The great diference is between Ma Jr. and DBZ Piccolo. Ma Jr. had some crazy attacks that he never used again, plus a giant transformation.

So if Early Goku is about 23rd Budokai to Freeza Saga, does that mean Early Piccolo is the same, aka gets his giant form?

Ran Fuan · Post by **Ran Fuan** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 10:49 am

As many giant forms they have added to the series, Piccolo's giant form would be quite interesting.

Actually, Early Goku is only 23rd Budokai to the Saiya-Jin arc. Mid is for Freeza arc, and late is fo everything else. Early has no SSJ form so he couldn't be used for the Freeza arc.

Like people are buying the game for the dawm character art? Besides all the other art in the game besides the main character such as the menu art and such always kicks ass!

Not that theres any real issue with the art cause if I can watch a bad below standard animated/drawn DBZ episode without bitching then it's all gravy baby.
