You don't need to have a post in every thread. When you first sign up, you may be tempted to go through every single thread and add in something to get your two cents in. Before you post, ask yourself... are you offering anything new to the conversation that hasn't come before? Are you providing information others may not know? If the answer is "no" to either of these questions, re-evaluate whether or not you should reply. Saying nothing other than "I agree" or "Yes" isn't really helping anyone. A post that is only one line long is not a post. If you don't have more than that to say, you don't have ANYTHING to say.

I'm thinking it's going to be split screen with free rome. I right now think that this 2-player mode can go one of 2 ways. So-So or awfull. I dont see a great 2-player mode going on in this game.

You don't need to triple post. There is an Edit button, you know.

BUROURI SAIKYO!!!

With forty characters, it'll be interesting if the game would be mostly a rehash of Budokai's characters with a change or two, or if we'll actually have a hugely diverse cast.

This game looks to be the reason I didn't spend money on Budoukai games.

I'm so importing this beast.

All 4 of my Budokai games were gifts ^_^

heh, I thought the Budokai games were three?

Anyway, did you see the link http://img253.echo.cx/img253/5410/sparksters042to.jpg ?

The pic with Janemba and Brolly. Below them is another picture (half-shown). I think the character on the right health bar is metal cooler (it could also be 4th stage Freeza)

Man, Janemba looks awesome. THis is going to be his first appearance on a fighting game right? They always make them super-strong in first appearances (LOG rpgs do not count as fighting games).

Actually, I think that's Majin Vegeta.... I think.

EDIT:
After futher examining of it and of the split screen image, I've come to the conclusion that the one below Janemba/Broly is either Majin Vegat or (and this would be interesting if it's true) Pui Pui. The head structure isn't right for Freeza or Cooler, and the markings appear to be a letter and/or hair. Which means Majin Vegeta (confirmed in the game via the split screen image) or Pui Pui.

The animation for Broli looks different. Cool though

And being able to play as Janemba...sweet. I remember first seeing screenshots of Sagas and thinking "Oh crap!! What have they done?!?" and hoping that there was a chance I was wrong about it. But know, it's the exact opposite. I am seriously hoping this game is as good as it looks.

Who the heck is Pui Pui?

I have all 3 for PS2, as well as the first one for GC.

Who the heck is Pui Pui?

Pui Pui was one of Babidi's henchmen. He was easily killed by Vegeta.

Ya. Which means I doubt it's him... Oh, and I took another look at that Vegeta in the split screen shot and... what I'd thought looked like an M was merely his hair-line. XD So it's probably just a low res Vegeta...

Just had a funny thought. After the humiliating Taiketsu, the Japs gave us the Super Awesome Super Sonic Warriors.

Can it be that history will repeat itself? Can it be that, after the horrible Sagas, we are about to enjoy an amazing Sparking??

Hope so! Long live the Japs! Everyone, sing with me! O_o

Sagas was an American game (like the Budokai series), and I think Taiketsu was too.

Just FYI -- "Japs" is usually taken as derogatory. It's better (and not much more effort) to write "Japanese."

Long live the Japanese, then.

Yes, I know, Xyex. And don't think. Taiketsu was indeed American made.

Ya, that's what I'd thought. But besides that, SSW wasn't any kind of improvement anyway. It just looked pretty.

Is every one happy with the split screen idea? I hope they did it right :/ .
