"Dragon Universe" Contest Questions

Post by laserkid » Fri Feb 11, 2005 2:14 am

Hey EX, just wondering if Puar is considered a horrible dub name that I'll need to change to something else? Thanks for the help. I know this ruins my intentions but hey that little furball's always been a favorate of mine ^^;

What's the accepted name for Turles?

EDIT: Oh, other questions about disqualification.

1. If I spell the planet as 'Vejita' and the Saiyan as 'Vegeta'?
2. If I use script format?
3. If I have to guess about where a city/village is on the map?

Hmm... I think it's "Tullece", right?

Ya, I think Mike/Julian use Tullece.

My question: Is there a limit to the number of entries we can make? :D


EDIT: You need to put up a list of spelling of the characters or something so we know exactly what you will and wont take. >_<

One entry per person :P.

Flat-out name CHANGES are the problem (Turles, Pikkon, Hercule, Tien Shinhan, etc.). Puar, like other slight dub name adaptations (Broli/Broly, Yamucha/Yamcha, Janenba/Janemba, Gurd/Guldo, etc.) I don't really care about :). Nonsense like Bejiita, Seru, Torankusu, etc. are flat out.

If Steve and/or Viz spell it a certain way, that's fine. This rule is mostly for my own sanity; I can't sit there and objectively review an entry that keeps spelling it "Pikkon" (it's one of those "You like the character so much, but don't know his name...?" kinda things).

What if we happen to like the spelling Pikkon? XP Though ya, I do know what you mean. And limiting us to one is no fun! I have to many ideas for one! *sigh* I suppose I'll just make them all and figure out which came out best...

By "worlds" do you mean literally (as in planets) or do you mean 00ber different "areas of sorts"?

ex: All the cities, towns, etc, would be the world of Earth; King Enma's, Snake Way, Heaven+Hell would be the world of the Afterlife.

Thanks Dayspring, you reminded me of the other question I wanted to ask. Aren't their only 3 worlds in the game? Earth, Namek, and the Supreme Kai's? (Unless you count alt Namek as Hell like the game does during training anyway, the RoSaT as a seperate world, and Inside Buu as another one.... >_>)

Good question. Are they still banned if they don't have any voice data that might suggest a DU?

Vegetto and Gogeta are both semi-playable in both Goku and Vegeta's Dragon Universes, so no, they cannot be used for the contest. They're playable characters, anyway, so that's strike #1, even if you ignore that they sorta already have DUs, indirectly ^^;;.

The "u" in the middle is a long one, though, so unless you have non-existent letters with phonetic value, I'd say not. :)

Would it be possible to use Yamhan/Tiencha?

Sorry... totally missed that :D

Enma-Daio's place, while technically the "afterlife," seems to be its own place... kinda like a DBZ "Limbo" of sorts. At the same time, there's really nothing there beyond the entrance to the Serpent Road...

"Afterlife" is pretty vague, so I'd consider Heaven and Hell to be two different places.

Does the character's DU absolutely have to span 2 major saga's? Would say the entire Boo saga (from Great Saiyaman arc to the end of DBZ) suffice? For example, if said character already had 5 pages worth of story dialogue, with no more room? @-@

If the entire thing is dialogue, you're not getting it concise, enough :D. Yes, two major sagas... sorry, Buu saga is only one ^^;;.

Yamhan is fine to use.

Could you post an example paragraph so we know exactly what it should look like?

Also, will we need to make up our own versions of these?
BUU SAGA
Dragon Ball Locations:
-Mountain in the Northeast you can get the dragon radar.
-On an island east of the tournament arena.
-East of North city.
-Go to West City after going to Kami's Lookout to get dragon radar.
Capsule Locations:
-Go to North City to receive the Yakon capsule.
-Go to Goku's House to receive an item capsule.
-Go to the forest North of West City to receive the Angel's Halo
capsule.
Optional Fights:
-Go to the battle point to fight Metal Cooler.
Unlockable Characters:
-Majin Buu, Super Buu, and Kid Buu are all unlocked in the story.
Unlockable Stages:
-Uub, destroy Kid Buu with a successful super spirit bomb and then
continue the story.

I'm not even sure what you're asking. A paragraph is a paragraph.

This contest really couldn't be any more open-ended. Write what you want to write, so long as it follows the general rules.
