I won't either. I'm not a dub fan, but the dub is way more popular amongst English-speaking Dragon Ball fans.

Here I found a video of the trailer that's been slowed down. The effects are tremendously amazing.

Wasn't the move he used to kill Raichi just a Final Flash?

The opening video looks like it's going to have some incredible action scenes.... I'm just hoping Battle of Omega works with it.

Yeah, it would make sense to have more characters than 100 or 101. I personally think it would be silly to have the likes of Saibaiman and Cell Jr. and not had Ciber Freeza or Meta Coola who represents a whole movie. And adding the likes of Nail and Cui you can have King Cold as well. And don't forget Buu Pure Evil and Kaioshin for example. Not saying that it will happen, I'm just saying it will be silly if it doesn't, but heck, they didn't include Dabra and Gohan Ultimate in the previous game and that was retarded.

They're still separating the "what-if" transformations? Silly.

Those bastards did it again. What the hell is their problem? It wasn't a good idea in Sparking (1), when all the characters were like this, why would it be a good idea in Raging Blast (1&2) when everyone else can actually transform in battle?
Super Saiyan Blue is not a creative color.
DBZ Movie 3 told a stronger and more believable "Evil Goku" story in 60 minutes than Dragon Ball Super has in 20 episodes. And it did it with better visuals and score.

We don't know 100% that the what-if transformations will be standalone fighters, but we are working under the assumption that they will be treated the same as in Raging Blast unless we are given proof to the contrary.

What's wrong with their placement? There aren't that many fighters that are separate that could be merged anyway.

Ultimate Gohan could potentially be merged with Teen Gohan.
This one I'll give you, he could have been merged with Gohan and been a transformation directly from base with no reverting and cause no problems. I don't really care one way or the other though.

SS3 Vegeta could potentially be merged with Vegeta and SS3 Broli could potentially be merged with Broli.
Spike is treading a fine line with these two, as I've seen a lot of backlash about their inclusion, and a lot of fans don't want them on their "canon" characters. I personally don't mind either way, it would be nice to transform into them I suppose, but I know there would be times in vs. mode where the computer would transform into them when I'm trying to stay in a certain saga.

And if you really want to get nitpicky, Vegeta (Evil) could merge with Vegeta, but I think that is a horrible idea. I don't want to sacrifice a character with unique animations just so Vegeta can have more costumes. Same for Majin Vegeta, which would be a bit trickier to handle.

I'd rather have King Cold and King Vegeta. Or Tapion and Kaioshin. Or Mr. Satan and Evil Buu.

And holy shit that opening is sex.
King Cold never did anything except swing a sword.....Metal Cooler had an entire movie and a million of him; he wins the balance. And I'd rather either Cell Jr/saibamen be Mr. Satan like whoa. I can't decide which of those tiny characters I would want less; probably Saibamen because their explosion doesnt do JACK towards killing anyone but Yamcha.
Probably because the only one who was caught off guard for the explosion to work was Yamcha. That explosion would have killed anyone in that battlefield save Piccolo, Vegeta and Nappa.

So, what "What If" characters are going to show up this time, if any?

Funi wants to stretch their ways to make money. They are going to release the dub of Ptetss separately to squeeze out all of the money to be made.

FUNimation doesn't have the rights to the special. They couldn't be arranged. That's why their is no dub. It's probably stuck in the same limbo that the rights to Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans are stuck in.

Ok. Thanks. The way the other guy worded it, I thought it was a new feature. Sounds like it would have been awesome too.

I am mostly concerned with the game developers calling different transformations separate characters.

If they just would say, we have 30 new separate characters, not including transformations, it would be much more clear.

I have a question because I am left confused a bit now.

Will the episode with Hatchiyak that's been reanimated for the game be dubbed in English?
