If that's true, than not being able to make females is a shame. But I suppose it shouldn't have been unexpected, as I've recently been disappointed by these latest games.

Still, there's time for something to blow my socks off, or at least push me over the edge to buy this game.

That's my perfect game as well, albeit on the PS2. Heck, last year I bought my girlfriend a copy for her Wii.

Too bad about female,but the thing that annoys me the most is the 3 characters limit. I was planing on creating the 3 Saiyans from DBHeroes and 1 original for me. :x

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I would like to see more GT characters in-game.

The character said "I have to find out who's behind this". So, some new villain brings back the old villains? Sounds interesting...

Whilst I very much doubt we'll see a new villain, bear in mind that they only said "no what if's"; meaning, a new character wouldn't fall into "what if" category.

It's possible that Hero Mode just some really twisted version of the stories we already know. Perhaps with Janenba warping reality again... we know he's a boss, maybe he's the last one for that mode.

Not Janemba again, he has done it twice: in his movie and in Shin Budokai Story Mode. I REALY hope it's someone else. :(

Really? I'm kind of glad at least Oozaru Bebi Vegeta got a Kai-ish treatment. I like it much better than the original GT voice, it always irritated me, though it does sound a little too much like some other voices from the series...

Looks like this game is rank #3 on Gamespot's coming soon list on the PS3 section and overall as #10

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/index.html? ... Bps3%3Btop

Good to see that this games has some hype now but it did not show up on the 360 charts. I hate how DBZ is always over shadow on the 360.

Just as a little tidbit, it seems this game is very popular in the M.U.G.E.N. Guild thanks to the character creation. That means this game will attract a whole new group of fans, the sales might go up a bit more than the previous one. Well, or not.

Well, they could advertise it on Nicktoons, especially since it's DBZ movie month. Units could be moved.

Personally, I don't think sales would go up due to that. But it would be nice to be proven wrong.

And that reminds me of my own M.U.G.E.N. days. I jump on and off every other year or so.

All of these videos, Facebook pages, and new community sites are all Namco Bandai EU campaigns. I think that should tell you what'll happen.

I'm starting to wonder if Namdai are actually just focusing on the European and Japanese markets. I mean, the EU pages have all the information put onto them, the beta-tests are always in France, Namdai actually arranged meetings with the two top-level producers to speak with French fans (in an interview setting) and it seems to be getting a lot more coverage.

Dude that looks freaking awesome 8)
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

It's always frustrating to see that they can't get the size of certain attacks right.
BT3 off meds | The final fight

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

The wails of machines | Singing cold harmony | Shifting air upward | Entranced by the breeze | Light pours like blood | Into a cosmic sea | Of stars crystallized | In a frozen symphony
