Ignoring Burst Limit and Online for a moment...

Post by DominatorLost » Fri Feb 15, 2008 12:00 am

Let's set ourselves back eleven years to Final Bout. Old, yes, but here's an interesting a rare video showing some insight into the making of the game.

...What a joke. I find it funny how the subtitles noticeably flicker less when the designer says "I guarantee you it will be a fun and interesting game."

A video of someone playing as Bebi. Some of you have probably done this, I haven't, but it shows him doing a few a Specials; wow, he actually wins in those beam struggles. I'm just noting that the only way to play as Bebi is to hack the game or cheat, and he has two pieces of animation as well as two voice piece that are never heard normally, because you can't play as him and the AI can never seem to pull off his Specials.

Wow!, I knew there were some audio files for Golden Oozaru Bebi, but I didn't think they had left an incomplete version of him in the game.

I gave up on the "documentary" because I couldn't read the subtitles :P

As far as I can tell, this is just an edited video of two final-round, single-player matches where the player is using the P2 side instead of the P1 side.

There's no footage of what they did to choose the character, that's not 100% how it looks between fights in single player mode, it cuts off after the second fight anyway, etc.

EDIT: Actually, at least the two fights are on different background stages. I can't remember off-hand that if you lose to Bebi and continue whether or not you'll play on a different stage...

I think there is actually a cheat code that allows you to play as Super Baby. Back when me and my friend used to play this game, we used to use unlock codes all the time and I used him a couple times, but he's total crap (more so than everything else about the game), so he wasn't used often.

Yeah, he's even got ANimeLabs subs.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]
