"Raging Blast 2" Gigantic On-Going Gaming Discussion

[Innagadadavida]

From a business standpoint, if you look at the sales numbers, you see that the japanese market represents almost (or even more than) half of it! Obviously, if the japanese market is their largest, they're going to "please more" the market where they sell the most. If it's fair that they (in some way) ignore the other markets? Obviously not. Do I understand why they do it? Yes, I do.

Really? Japan accounts for over half the worldwide sales? Japan is a little bitty country. Do you have evidence to support this claim?

Yeah, I know Japan is a little country, more the reason why it's relevant that they sell a lot, in paradox to USA's size or Europe's. And yes, I might've exaggerated (sorry 'bout that, I got fired up a bit ), the Americas (mostly USA, I presume) are the largest market, at least for Raging Blast.

Japan may be a "little bitty country" but its got a bout a BILLION people. The U.S. alone is only a few hundred million, on the low side. And you have to remember, it's the country of origin, DBZ is way bigger there.....just like the Simpsons and Family Guy are huge in the US.

Has Tarble seen shown with a rusg move yet? So far all I've seen is 'generic beam', 'generic ki volley' , then his awesome ultimate. I hope his 4th move isn't just a stat booster.

Japan, in the 2010 estimate has approximately 127 million people, pretty much the same as the 2004 census...
As for Tarble, you bet that it's a "status booster" or something like "Wild Sense" or "Aftermimage" or even "Explosion Wave"...

I read somewhere that Japan's population will comes down to 0 in 2050. Is it true?

Majority of the finishers for the new(returning) characters look like they were just pasted from BT3. I dont have a big problem with that just as long as something about is changed or upgraded. Also I think it would be cool if we could do beam clashes with the vallies and explosion waves.

[InfernalVegito]

That's already a paradox itself. Beam ≠ Volley ≠ Explosion. I don't see how that would work from a physical standpoint.

Does anyone have an idea on when a demo will come? Seems like we should have heard something by now.

[LeprikanGT]

I'm fine with returning characters having the same moves because it's not like they did anything new in the show since then.

But I WAS hoping they would have given Tarble a rush perhaps or something not generic. I HATE the stat boosters...although I don't count wild sense as a stat booster, that's more of a'dont get hit' free card.

Hey its a video game.

If a demo comes and if they do it like last year then the demo should come earlier than last year because the game's release is one week earlier than RB1's.

Hehe I know and I would also appreciate it if they somehow added it but I just don't see how two volleys would go into a clash because..well it's just a blast of charged energy balls that are fired and then impact. It's not like there is a constant stream of energy that allows it to clash.

Sorry for the doublepost.

[LeprikanGT]

I think they SHOULD make Super explosive waves clashable. Goku and Frieza/Cell did it, it should be in the game.

Also SEW and beams and beams and those rush moves like Frieza when both his fists are out in front of him...just like it was a clash in the show.

I know this will NEVER happen...but final form Cooler should be able to 'surf' up a beam, hop out and uppercut you/punch you.

[goku the krump dancer]

Not to mention they were also clashable in Final Bout. I remember my cousin and I used to do that all the time with Final Explosion and Super Kamehameha.

I almost forgot how awesome this was. That would be amazing.

[goku the krump dancer]

That would require some really high defence, or some item that makes you resistant to supers.

[Goten Forever]

What a good dbz game requires:
All the Z fighters, in all forms
Teenaged or adult Goten/Trunks (Canon universe)
New costumes, and the Yardrat armour for Goku (not just a million recolours of the z fighter outfit like in RB)
A good selection of moves that aren't called 'Explosive wave' or 'energy blast volley'
More what-if characters and the fusions from B3
Probably ssj2 Gt goku or Gotenks
GT Gotenks (maybey with GT gotenn and trunks) with fat Gotenks
And more characters. I dont care how they do it - they can continue making them after the release and make them character packs like the cheat characters! WE NEED MORE CHARACTERS.

The tackle moves should be clashable as well.

This whole debate reminded me that while I was playing the Dragon Ball Tag VS' demo, Goku shoot a Genki-Dama that clashed with Kuririn's Kamehameha. Now, my question is: was this possible already in the other Sparking! games?

Yes beam vs ball clashes have been in the games since BT3.
