Ah I see. But that would require them to do another new animation for the Super Explosive Wave move which I frankly believe they are way too lazy to do.

I agree, although they have stepped it up a bit in the moves department, but i'm sure that's the reason it is still wrong, plus its not an ultimate....although I sort of think it should be since it took SS Goku going Kaioken didn't it? [its been awhile since I saw that episode] And since ringouts are now back in the game, that move will be like an automatic loss if you miss your opponent.

Also: what is that very left icon pic of? Looks like SS Goku...not no reason why he would be there, your thoughts?

In my opinion that's the slot for the customized characters or the random slot. Since all other slots always had and have the face of the very character and this one seems to not have it.

Oh, true. I'll go with 'customized character' or perhaps the DLC ones, since random is the question mark on the right hand side.

Ah indeed. Didn't see the question mark on the right side. The pic is just too large hehe.

They could have easily added 4 more character spots to that brick of characters.

Sure. There is always the "They could have added this and that.."-thing. A perfect game does not exist and will possibly never. But as for what you point out here yes they could have easily added Garlic Jr. and Lord Slug.
I just can't grasp the reasons for their absence.

Btw: I must really say that I like this character selection the most. And the Instant Transmission sound when you change a character is also neat.

"Additionally, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 will sport the new Raging Soul System which enables characters to reach a special state, increasing their combat abilities to the ultimate level."

Sentences like these make me almost rage. You can't use your Super nor your Ultimate attacks in this "state". The sky just darkens and your aura becomes shinier. This is some serious ultimate level.

I can only hope they added some good surprises nonetheless because that pointless system is...well pointless.

I guess TheDevil'sCorpse was a tad off when he said that was SSJ3 Broly. I'm hoping that he is now part of regular Broly but I doubt it. Just for the hell of it I'm going to check today and see if the Japanese PSN store has the demo.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

You might as well be Ginyu with that description, you gain some power and you lose every ability to do anything besides punch and kick. That's NOT ultimate, thats a handicap.

The ULTIMATE state would be you equipped with a one hit K.O. ultimate that is unblockable and undodgeable.

I just meant how they try so hard to sugarcoat this new system althouh it's obvious that it's totally pointless.

I take it none of you actually watched the videos with Raging Soul. If you did then you'd notice you can combo like Hell, much more than in any regular mode... Know things before you bitch.

I can bitch. I played the demo here at gamescom a month ago and it was absolutely useless. That's why I just don't get how they can praise it so much. Sorry but it's true.

So you didn't use it correctly?

Isn't it just extra hard punches and kicks?

How many times in the anime did someone die from a combo? ok....now how many have died from an attack? I rest my case.

I'd rather use a super/ultimate over a combo any day.

No. I am very aware of the fact that you can do more combos and more connected strings in this state. But that solely does not justify this new addition to be praised as a whole new system that by definiton allows you to reach new ultimate level. I find it overhyped because the negative things about it are bigger in my view. If you cannot accept my opinion that's your cup of tea.
