The new intro/song sucks... just like this game.

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.

It's all seizure inducing fun!!!!!

Yeah not to wowed by the intro, though the the music for it is nice. The actual background music for the game is mediocre though. I wished we could get the usual music from the series. I agree with many of you here that the games need to reintroduce the excellent 2D animation from Budokai 2 & 3.

Oh my stars, Gokû used some of the same movements he did on Ma Junior during their fight at the 23rd Tenka'ichi in that last combo. O.o

I don't supposed you could reference WHEN he did it in the video, could you?

Reminds me of Supersonic Warriors 2.

With that aside, I think it's pretty cool. Love how they kept Goku shoeless in the upper left screenshot with the Makankosappo

Near the end...when he does the sideways fist jam into Broli. :p

Goku (Mid) also has that attack in Meteor.

Secret Battle 43: The Strongest Super Saiyan is an unlockable at the "Star Shop," where you can also buy costumes and such.

There are a shit ton of what-ifs in there, too.

Have you played Sparking! METEOR before?

That video kinda' disgusted me. I've read fanfictions which were more original.

Wow, they could have atleast made something where Broli comes back after Buu is defeated, but he's become an SSJ3. Goku and Broli fight until Vegeta shows up and transforms into an SSJ3.

That would have at least made more sense than LOL SSJ3 BROLY OUT OF FUCKIN' NOWHERE

Man, that is quite disappointing. The what-if's are not only entertaining to play because they are different concepts in and of themselves but also because of the story and how the characters react to the changes. This level seems more like Vegeta's wet dream then anything else!

I totally expected an ending like the Cell what-if from Budokai 1; Vegeta waking up with a boner exclaiming "I'm Number ONE!!!!!".

This game does look pretty nice. The character models look good, the opening video could of been done in 2D. It didn't look NEARLY as bad as Sparking! and Sparking! NEO's did, it looked a little more like Infinite World's. But my problems with itself are with the fighting system.

The energy beams looks weak as shit. They don't look nearly as "good" as Sparking! METEOR's, but no energy beams can beat Budokai 3/Infinite World's.

And it definitely looks like a re-hash of Sparking! METEOR! Just without a bajillion characters. The moves look the same, the fighting hasn't really improved, other than the "Smash your opponent into a wall/rock and beat them senseless" deal. I don't really care for that as much as the fighting. This one's just METEOR! with updated graphics, not nearly as many characters, and one or two new special attacks that everyone can do. Besides, I don't even HAVE a PS3/360, so I wouldn't even have a way to play the damn thing!

So yeah, not a worthy purchase, in my eyes. I'd rather play Sparking! METEOR.

BT3 took from Supersonic Warriors 2 too. They used the Battle Point system as one of the vs mode options.

Also I have to say, the team attacks don't look like anything new. Adult Gohan's Super Saiyan special was the brothers Kamehameha, so how is this different?

I got the game yesterday!!!!

It's pretty good. My only problem is that the ki attack visuals could have been A LOT nicer, but, oh well... The character models are near perfection. Also, you start out with the majority of the heavy hitters unlocked already. I haven't gotten to any team attacks yet (I was beginning to think that that statement was a translation error, so thanks, Kei17.) So far, I've beaten most of the Cell saga, and a few what-ifs which are pretty interesting. There's even one where Gogeta and Vegetto fight. The customization is pretty cool, too. I just wish we could change ultimates. Also, you unlock moves for each transformation, even if it's the same move... I unlocked Instant Transmission for both base and SSJ Goku, and Masenko for base and SSJ Mirai... THERE IS CONFIRMED DLC FOR THE GAME. IT'S STATED ON THE BACK OF THE CASE. Now I don't know how far that will go, but at least we're getting some. You do get money, but to my knowledge, there's no item store besides the star shop. I haven't tried any of the other modes besides Story, VS, Customize, and Museum, and I have to admit, some of the game's music is really good.

The whole knocking people into walls thing looks really annoying.

The What-If Stories look just as crappy as they were on METEOR. No effort to make a cinematic-like experience.

When you do it it's pretty damn awesome. The problem is that if you wait just a hair too long to pull off a special attack it does no damage, as you can't hit someone as they're pulling themselves out of the wall.

Other than that, it's pretty awesome.

Does anyone know if Raging Blast has the Kai VAs or if it has the Z VAs? I'm not sure since it's just DragonBall as opposed to Z or Kai.

I can just see it getting repetitive. In one of the videos I saw it happened like 3 times in a row and really detracted from the fight.
