Changing the subject from gameplay, something you really couldn't notice in the trailers, have you paid attention to the fact that Goku's SS hair occasionally "pulsates" from the kinda light yellow to the dark orange-yellow (especially in the battle quotes)? It seems more details have been added than I thought... Heck, even the smoke from the Supers actually quasi-blinds you to my surprise. You still know where thy are since you are locked on, but you have no idea if they are on the ground, standing up, etc., and if you don't pay attention to their HUD, you may not even know they are charging ki until after the sound effects kick in.

Smoke like...in the show where after you shot a ton of ki blasts there would be a cloud around them? or just slight dust?

Like a giant covers most the screen in front of your character reddish-brown dust clouds, at least they are IMO. lol It doesn't last for very long, but with as short as matches are,...you wouldn't want it to.

The absolute very end of this craptastic video shows it off when they fire a Super Kamehameha...but it it looks better on the actual screen.

The odd thing is, the Kamehameha makes a bigger smokescreen than the Renzoku Kikoha.

I feel stupid for asking but whats the ''Renzoku Kikoha''? [yeah yeah I'm a dubbie]

Oh ok, I see now, So its got tiny little ember flashes and like something was sort of on fire. I kind of like it....even better if the opponents screen didn't turn around when you did Instant transmission to sneak behind them.

I hate the time limit. The fights are too short. And the damn advertisement at the end annoys me as well.

Oh well better than nothing.

How much time does it give you? Didn't the other demos just let you fight it out 'til a K.O.?

I think it gives you 180 seconds as with RB1. Way too short to really get used to all new combos.

The continuous energy blasts like every form of Vegeta has. As for what happens with Shunkan-ido, I have no idea. Goku only has the Shunkan-ido Kamehameha, so as soon as you teleport you blast them to hell, then they get up and try to kick your ass for it. Oh, move list...

SS Goku:
Super Kamehameha
Continuous Energy Blasts
Instant Transmission Kamehameha
Meteor Smash
Angry Kamehameha

Kid Buu:
Super Kamehameha
Shocking Ball
Mystic Ball Attack
Nightmare Impact
Planet Destroyer

Dabra:
Evil Impulse
Evil Spear
Evil Flame
Explosive Wave
Darkness Sword Attack

Ultimate Gohan:
Super Kamehameha
Explosive Wave
Super Masenko
I'm here to kill you
Burst Rush

No no. Just for the fights there is a time limit. When you win a fight then comes an advertisement for the game and then the start screen appears again and you can fight again as long as you desire.

Dabra:
Evil Impulse
Evil Spear
Evil Flame

What do those look like?

And is the "I'm here to Kill you" move the one where Gohan does a few hits and teleports ?[like where in RB1 you had to kept hitting different on screen buttons]


-What does the ad look like? Just one of those short vids we have seen already?

Evil Impulse is his typical purple/black/red evil looking energy attack.

Evil Spear he reaches back while making a spear, tosses it, and then upon impact a cutscene shows the spear hitting the opponent and then kinda flopping backward in pain as it disappears. EDIT: Seems the spear is actually shown to go through them during the pain scene, but it is so quick I missed it.

Evil Flame is pretty much the same as the previous flame moves in the Tenkaichi/Sparking! series, very similar to the Majin Buu breath attack, though the range is much smaller this time around.

Yes, I'm here to kill you is the QTE super we've seen. I don't really remember, but I think it is a punch, kick, and then teleport punch.

Thanks Infernal!

So you can confirm: Raging Blast 2 demo available for download in the US?
Am I reading this right?

I'm stuck at work for the next 5 hours and won't be able to hop on my system to check until I get home. (sighs)

Ah sorry if you misunderstood. I downloaded the demo from the German store.
I think the demo will be in the US store later. It's already 7:35p.m. here in Germany.

Enjoy the demo. It's awesome.

If you'd make a EU account and you could be playing it now...that is what I did like a week ago since there wasn't a an official announcement for a US demo. I had to prepare for the worst. =P
