When I'm aiming to not use the main characters, I'd probably go with Butta.

Well, I usually main Kid Gok-

"Top Earthling Tournament" as a what-if story? Hellz yeah, can't wait to play it.

Dunno if this is old....but we've got the intro.

That song sounds amazing.

I can get an mp3 from the video if that's allowed. (If Mike doesn't mind)

EDIT: Sorry, Rocketman, but no Vegetto in this opening.

Wow, what a lame OP. Hardly anything happened.

Did get a kick out of Vegeta's "MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY" to Trunks, though.

EDIT: Also, Kageyama's age. Anyone else think it shows at 00:51 - 00:57?

The CD single is coming out this month, so do it on your own time elsewhere. Thanks!

That's fine. They would've done some shit like B3's opening if he was.

I dislike the way the intro looks. But at least it is better than Sparkling! ones, not by much though. I miss the good old 2D ones.

The Vegeta part made me laugh though.

Yeah. +1 for the Vegeta thing, but overall kinda generic.

I know this probably old, but Gamestop has the extra pre-order content which includes unlocking SSJ3 Broli right off the bat and customizations of certain characters. I went to go payoff and pre-order the game just a while ago at my local Gamestop near my college campus. To my surprise, the game will be priced at $49.99 instead of the usual $59.99 price point for most new releases. Now I feel more certain of my purchase knowing I didn't have to pay full price. I already got the pre-order content right off the bat too. Now I just have to wait for the game till Wednesday

It's Sparking! not Sparkling!.

And, I agree, the Budokai openings were the best. Well, that and the Tenkaichi Daibouken opening.

I'm still amazed Choutzu and Ghurd got billing over Dabra and Mystic Gohan. Anyone care to explain this one to me?

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:32 pm

Yeah, that was... kind of underwhelming.

Have all the characters been announced? Maybe they will make Ultimate Gohan a transformation, I mean Bandai isn't dumb enough to leave a key player from the Buu saga out of the game....right?

On another note, I just picked up Super DBZ(for $5 no less) and slowly this game is losing its flair to me.

I thought this came out Tuesday with MW2?

Sebastian (SB) · Post by **Sebastian (SB)** » Sat Nov 07, 2009 2:22 am

Unlike MW2 (which most game stores have now to be released on the 10th), Raging Blast will be shipped on its release date. Most stores will have it by Wednesday.

Ah, I see.

Well, that's a good thing. This way I can just go pick them both up on Wednesday and avoid the MW2 rush.

The intro is.... alright, but the actual game isn't !

-lolz

PRO'S
-Freeza and Cell Tranformations were done great !
-Sound effects are on point !
-Models are good, not great. [Somthin' looks off about the human lookin' characters though.... ?]
-Added battle feature are cute. [wall crashin', backwards Ki shootin', special attack deflection, roamin' sky clash, super risin',]
-Bigger stages
-Idea of Super Saiya-jin 3 Broli and Vegeta.

CONS
-Combat takes a big step back !
-Too many characters missin' !
-Story/Melee Cinematics are poorly executed !
-Energy/Blast/Attack effects are horribly unimpressive and look WEAK ! Doesn't say " Dragonball Z " at all.
-Power struggles look stupid
-The camera shift during multiple teleport counters were cooler in BT3.
-Super Saiya-jin transformations look like they're takin' "craps". Done cinematically better in BT3, especially Son Goku's.
-Menus and character select screen are boring.

Overall BT3 did it much better ! If you're desperate for a psuedo next-gen Sparking game, get it ! However I look forward to hopefully bein' gagged upon their next effort. this was weak. Save your money, jus' watch videos on Youtube. -lolz

While Vegeta pushing his way into the fight amused me, I have to agree with others in that the opening was kind of dull. I'm not impressed.

(Also, I want 2-D animated openings to come back. TT_TT I liked those! They were like little treats in this mostly new-animation-less time period. )

I do want to know what type of story they concoct for ssj3 Vegeta and ssj3 Brolli, but I'll find that out over clips uploaded to YouTube. :3

My money will be going to the Kai DS game though.

Has anybody seen the new combat system? They added this little spark across the screen that makes a sound effect every time you successfully prolong a rush. It looks like it's going to get REALLY annoying.

I didn't get enough time with the game to figure it out, myself, so I don't know if you can really notice it while playing. Still sounds annoying.
