I'm glad we have more body types in this game because I'd like to make a Super Buu type Majin male Character

Kaioken might be exclusive to Earthlings? They're definitely not showing everything for Namekian, 100% you can go Orange because you have Power Awakening

I think Frieza's race will have 100% because we saw a skinnier CaC get bulked up, 100% and Golden (hopefully you can choose the color because Frieza picked the Golden color - give us every color except Black)

Since Arinsu is confirmed to be in the game, I'm betting Majins will get the fake SSJ3 from Duu. An absorption transformation would be cool too, instead of transforming into a character via the Soul thing we absorb the soul and get their clothes & abilities. We'd keep our character's appearance, so it'd be like Dragon Ball Breakers in a way.

A Super transformation for Androids could be cool, our character fuses with a copy of themselves and gets taller + gets longer hair.

I care less about body types. Would've much more preferred body sliders. Not simply height/width. Need to have much more control over CaC appearance. Literally have more control in early 2000's wrestling games when it came to body size and build. Shouldn't have to wait for modders to change models that you can then only use offline because of anti-cheating software.

Kaioken being exclusive to Earthlings would be silly, but not an unthinkable idea. I hated that stupid thing of popping on the nimbus with the nyoibo. Might be better to just have Unlocked Potential and Awakened potential from Guru and Elder Kai, then cap with Spirit Awakening from Yardrat training for Earthlings.

As for Namekians, I've put it on the XV3 wishlist ages ago, but I wanted Namekian fusions to be the way Namekians unlock transformations. Though this time you fuse with a randomly generated Namekian after a series of battles to push your limits. Then the 2nd facing a mirror version of yourself that splits off from you, representing the opposing force within you. Defeating and fusing it back inside you unlocks Super Namekian Warrior. Giant Namekian should be either separate or cut out because it's always been kinda ass. I honestly don't care for Orange. It should just remain a Piccolo exclusive. Instead we should have a final unlock where you fuse with multiple Namekians, the way the Universe 6 Namekian combatants had in order to defend their universe. Where you go through a gauntlet of battles, bringing you to the edge before you can be trusted and are ready to handle that burden. Then you unlock Ultimate Namekian Warrior.

As for Freeza Race, I for one wish they'd just give it an actual race name and not tie everything to Freeza. I mean they invented a stupid name for the Kai race. Also, we should have 2nd, 3rd and Final Forms before 100%. Let us alter our CaC appearance and lock it as our next form.

There's a lot I wish they would do that I certainly doubt they will ever implement. Because they're creatively bankrupt. And it's truly sad to see.

You say that they are "creatively bankrupt", but then proceed (well, preceded) by proposing some odd and kind of actual creative bankruptcy.

Humans don't transform at all, and if we got a race without transformation, there will be complaints, probably from you too. With the exception of Ultimate, none of those other "awakenings" change appearances. And if humans got only Ultimate (with its minimal difference from base form), there will be complaints, probably from you too. So there's no other choice other than to make Kaio-Ken exclusive to humans. Well, I guess there's that Muten Roshi's "max power" or whatever, but it doesn't compare, nor does it have the same appeal as Kaio-Ken, honestly.

The Namekuseijin fusion doesn't change appearance, and if we got a race without transformation or something that doesn't change appearances, there will be complaints, probably from you too. Getting giant may not change appearance, but it's still something different enough to make some difference gameplay-wise, but here you are suggesting to cut it out, in favor of another fusion that doesn't change appearance. I don't think anything you proposed for the Namekuseijins would even work. How would your character fuse with "with multiple Namekians"? I don't know, it all feels so random and weird.

I think they could do something with Kuririn's No Ego state especially with SZ having recently used it again. It is likely there is more to show for all these races anyway given there is no sign of Orange or the God forms yet so who knows.

Also on the body types topic, too bad there doesn't seem to be a sign of being able to make a big guy like Nappa, Olivue, Kale, Pirina, 16, etc.

No idea what that is. Isn't "ego" a Vegeta thing related?

It is from the anime where Kuririn and Goku go to the Mirage Island. Kuririn reaches a state of selfless, overcomes the illusions, and he has special aura around his fists. It is a bit of a joke since none of that connected to what he did in the ToP. But in SZ's recent Kuririn focused saga he maintains that state and uses it to fight Ribrianne.

I think it's interesting Kaioken being a Earthling exclusive technique if that is something connected to the story.
For example, it seems you can have Kami as your master, if that is a earthling exclusive thing, it could lead into training with Kaio in order to acquire kaioken, then maybe after that, training with Kaioshin, so you can go through the Ro Kaioshin ritual and awaken the ultimate form.
The Saiyajin race would have their equivalent to this as well, they would go through the 6 Saiyajins ritual and then later train with Whis, which would lead them to awakening SSJGod and SSJBlue.

This of course I'm imagining as if those forms are going to be in the base game.
