Screens anyone?

I'd love to see a screen of the Majin Vegeta closeup when he's at the tournament arena from "Vegeta's Pride" if someone could capture that.

I just picked it up at Walmart. If any one wants screens let me know what episode you guys want.

Well, I think we've just gotten a request for Majin Vegeta's creepy grin after he blew up the stands. That's all I can remember...

As for me, is Goku's first SSj3 transformation on this set? I'd like to see some caps from that.

This good enough?

You know this was actually tolerable. The original BGM made all the difference here.

No, no, no, no. I'm sorry, but I didn't get the same feeling as I do with Faulconer's music in that scene.

I agree. Faulconer's music made it seem like something was really being achieved. I love the Japanese score but this is another case where I felt they choose an awkward track to go along with a scene. Just like when Son first turned Super Saiyan against Freeza. This is one of the few scenes the dub nailed something better than the Japanese version.

Meh well to each his own. I could barely watch that scene with the dub music.

I agree with you on that singular point. It seems like a weird choice just to toss some stock music into such important scenes.

Did Boo just correct him right thar? "Super... Saiya-jin?!"

I never expected to hear that in the Funi Dub.

Ha yeah he did. I didn't even pay attention to that though

I thought I was the only person that thought that. I remember when I first saw the Japanese version of Son's transformation my initial reaction was "Really!? That's the track they went with!?" I guess it's because I've seen Dead Zone so many times I always equate that song with that scene where Garlic opens the Dead Zone so seeing it in another scene was weird for me.

I forget who dubbed that episode. Whoever it was, I suppose they did it as a bone to throw to the original fans...who don't watch the dub.

I can't seem to get it working, is there a trick to see the video?

Exactly, just look at the SSJ2 transformation scene in Japanese. Like the song or not it was a big deal to have an insert song along with that footage.
I could just imagine how cool it would be to have a confident yet enraged sounding insert song for Goku's SSJ transformation.

Umm but what the hell could they play? Something like Spirit vs Spirit wouldn't work during the SSJ3 transformation.

Sure is.

EDIT: Something else I noticed in that scene. Despite all the screen-shaking going on.... Not a single disappearing line.

They could have developed an original song for that scene like they did with Spirit Vs. Spirit. Instead they went with some stock music we've heard 100 times before.
