DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)

[Eddie]

One thing I liked about past games, were that some characters only had a few moves, so the developers had great imagination to create moves that would suit that character.

But they generally did a good job of including the unique stuff for the characters that had such abilities. Arale could bring out the Gatchans, Blue could pull out a Bazooka, and Chi Chi could throw her helmet blade. If we're forced to create the missing characters, we'll likely be stuck giving them generic moves or moves from other characters. If Dr. Kochin just fires ki blasts, what's the point? In movie 2, he had a machine gun arm and a dragon head cane that fired blasts out of its mouth. That's what makes him stand out. Dr. Kochin won't be accurately portrayed in this game unless he's designed to be in it. Character Creation modes are too limited to accurately create everything.

It had great humor, I remember Blue using a jetfighter. Not many fighting games can add comedy like Dragonball.

CaC is very important because from now on lots of people will think more about
gameplay than costumes to choose.

Sure, the next game could just take it out, and we will be back to zero.
And if CaC is a good one, it will take UT to be The game for a loong time.
Spike really needs that.


You won´t be able to create an acurate Chibi Chi Chi really .
But maybe you could create an older Chi Chi with Ten shin style with.. say..
Genkidama !!

Really fun !

So you basically don't want Dragon Ball Z characters to actually act the way they are supposed to act. You want to throw away the advancements towards unique characters that the "DBZ Sim" games have (very slowly) made over the years in favor of having every character play the same.

"Yo dawg! I made Ginger in Ultimate Tenkaichi!" "Awesome! Make him pull swords out of his arms!" "Nah man, who wants that? This foo got the Kamehameha!" "... but... um, that doesn't make sense." "What you smokin' bro. It's the KAMEHAMEHA!!! Guess what else, bro, guess what else!" "Uh, what?" He fights using the Crane style, yo! He bustin' out all dem three eyed cowboy punches and kicks!" "That makes no sense! I highly doubt that a servant of a demonic midget bent on immortality had the time to study under a martial artist to master a series of movements and strikes favored by assassins." "Man, please. Don't be hatin'. You haven't even seen Gingers ultimate attack. He grabs people, sucks out their energy with his hands, and fires lasers out his eyes, dawg! His eyes!" "..."

Or...

Tapion: Bitch I play like Goku!

[Animefreak1325]

*Puts head on desk, then sighs* Can we just stop complaining about the character creator, please?

Also, I'm pretty sure it's going to be an actual character creator, rather than just editing a pre-existing character. I'm pretty sure the guy at ComicCon was wrong, as we've been hearing differntly from most sources.

Honestly, anyone who is gonna argue it out like that isn't going to think so far back as to make someone obscure like Ginger. They're going to instead make someone called "Super Sayen 5 Brolgetalloku" and his special attack is going to be some sort of game-breaking spam attack that'll make you never want to play online again.

Beyond that, there are plenty of people like us who, if they like this game, will make a few characters for fun (remember fun?) but still appreciate the time and effort that went into making the established characters and story mode fun to play as. It's not a big deal.

Oh, wait. There is a third type. The people who will try to manipulate the character creator to come up with Lion-O or Batman something, but those are usually pretty funny and take some creativity to manipulate the character creator like that so I let them slide.

[goku the krump dancer]

Well knowing Spike, they wont have preset or unused playstyles and supers that the default characters dont have, so if some one does manage to pull off creating Ginger or Nikki then yes you would probably have to make him fight like Dabra or Janemba because of the whole sword thing.

It seems to be the official cover art. Pretty cool imo.

[InfernalVegito]

Pretty boring cover. Always the same characters.

You sure those are real? It just seems like SSJ Goku from the Kanzenban cover in front of Shenlong. Not to mention the Bandai logo instead of Namco-Bandai.

That looks pretty cool. I wonder if the US box art will be different.

[Jaetinh]

Yeah it's pretty much the official one and it looks so boring. Not even Shenron in the background makes it look better by much.

So are we gonna start complaining about a mere cover art or

I know, where did I say they couldn't?
I'm asking are we gonna have a discussion where people are yelling at others, over a cover art, or are we gonna state our opinions, and NOT get into a fight, like we've been doing over the past couple of pages.

Not exactly yelling, but you get the idea, right?

I noticed that too, I'm pretty sure it's a fake but there is no doubt we'll see something close to that anyway.

I, for one, enjoy the covers similar to RB2's and BT3's, where it has the usual cast of characters on the box.
This cover is just...boring.
