"Raging Blast 2" Gigantic On-Going Gaming Discussion

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

It's so that Spike can build up a demand then when Raging Blast 4 comes out they can go, "we added Ultimate Gohan, he's one of our most anticipated characters since the first Raging Blast!!!"

Give me a break Spike.

Give you a break from something that hasn't happened already? What? How do you know that he won't be in Raging Blast 2?

We have less than three months left and no announcement has been made.

Hey! sometimes Bandai can surprise you!

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

So? Do they have to announce every character before the game's release? Besides, three months is a long time.

[LeprikanGT]

It IS a bit of time before release, but I also hate the huge gaps of time with no info coming out. The cover of the game pretty much comfirmed 5 characters in the game and maybe this fueature coming up Wednesday will shine more light on PTETSS.

[Kingdom Heartless]

I just don't see the logic in having Future Gohan, but no Ultimate Gohan.

I mean, I know that Future Gohan is a lot more popular, but still....

[Supa Saiya-Jin Tullece]

You know what we need? A game with animations and effects by Dimps with character models/textures and environments by Spike.

[Rocketman]

What we need is Tenkaichi 3 with more characters.

[Kingdom Heartless]

With Number 2's story.

And music. God, that would be the best game ever........

Ultimate Gohan could be in there by way of customized ultimate and alternative costume. I dunno, just a theory.

Causing every Gohan fanboy to squeal with joy at the idea of a Super Saiyan 2 Ultimate Gohan...

The Tenkaichi/Sparking series had him with different animations for combat, which I doubt Spike would do for an alternate costume. He's probably in, just not announced yet. We still have 5-6 unknown returning fighters, so still plenty of space for him to be included, his is just a single form character after all. This doesn't even cover the possibility that the characters marked with an "*" on the list below are only assumed to be in based on their inclusion in Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans or other forms of their character being included on the games cover. If they don't include all the forms of a character like in the first Tenkaichi/Sparking game, then the roster has much more space...though I hope they don't do that. Personally they should fill in holes the best they can with those remaining spaces; Ultimate Gohan, Evil Buu, Meta Freeza would all be nice and finish out their characters.

1. Janenba (Transformed)
2. Tullece
3. Dabra
4. Future Gohan
5. Future Gohan (Super Saiyan)
6. Paikuhan
7. Nail
8. Lord Slug*
9. Jinzoningen 13*
10. Jinzoningen 13 (Merged)
11. Bojack*
12. Bojack (Transformed)
13. Cooler*
14. Cooler (Transformed)
15. Cooler (Meta)*
16.
17.
18.
19.
20.

You know what RB2 really needs? Base Gogeta.

Yeah, we need a re-coloured Gogeta, only less powerful.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I gotta agree with him, I've always thought it was ridiculous that we were only able to transform into Gogeta as a Super Saiyan when we know base is obviously achievable as well. I don't mind the games keeping SS2 and SS3 out of their transformation pools, but Gotenks shows its possible to transform freely between levels during fusion, so why can't Gogeta revert?

I don't need it if we can actually get new characters like 14, 15, kid Uub, etc. in the game, but if they decided not to make something that obviously should have been done from the beginning not count as a new character addition, then I wouldn't complain. Even a alternate costume would be fine I guess, though I'd preform a form.

[LeprikanGT]

Why would you want to play as a weaker version of a character? [That goes for base Gegeta AND SS2 Ultimate Gohan]

These types of games inherently are (they have to be) unrealistic and unbalanced with regard to power comparisons in-universe -- you have to SOMEWHAT compensate for someone who wants to fight as a Saibaiman versus Yi Xing Long and at least make it halfway-possible for them to win.

With that in mind, it all comes down to who you like aesthetically. When I fight as Goku, I don't always pick SSJ3 or SSJ4 Goku. Sometimes I'll go with regular form because I want to use Kaio-Ken 'cuz yo man it's badass looking! When I pick Gohan, I'll almost always pick SSJ2... not because it's "the strongest", but because GOD DAMN MAN HE'S AWESOME. I like using first-form Freeza just as much as final-form Freeza.

I can very easily see why someone would want to play as Gogeta in a non-SSJ form. The thought of him without golden hair in that fusion outfit seems really cool, "power" be damned.

[The Tori-bot]

Spike just seems afraid of not sticking exactly to how things went in the anime/movies, hence no forms we never actually saw like base Gogeta or SSJ2 Gotenks. Most Naruto games go out of their way to play with the story a little, add exclusive characters and even have all-new storylines for their "main" mode, in addition to the regular story mode so you're not just playing the same thing game after game. We have a little of that with the what-ifs in Sparking! and Raging Blast, but they just seem shoehorned in for the sake of having them there, and even then they only use pre-existing characters.

So basically, if you're really popular with the fans, you'll get an SSJ3 form and that's about it.

[Jaetinh]

Personally I'm a big fan of outfits, colours and different kind of hairs in games, so it would be great if they had some time to work on those things AFTER everything's done (gameplay etc)

- Yamcha with Buu Saga hair.
- Krillin with hair and the yellow pants/red shirt.
- Chaozu with that black sleeveless shirt he wears in the poster of DB Yo Goku and his friends return.
- Tenshinhan with the white sleeveless shirt we've seen him wear a lot.

and so on.

[Rocketman]

BADMAN VEGETA.

WHY THE FUCK HAS THIS NOT BEEN IN A GAME YET.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

ARGH.




Badman SS3 Vegeta = yes.

I agree with you about Son Goku in Kaio-Ken form, even though I think Son Goku in SSJ3 form is bad-ass and will always be my personal favorite, I love the sound that the Kaio-Ken makes in action.
