Sparking! Happenings

Post by Kaoru_Nagisa » Sun Nov 20, 2005 5:35 am

I'm creating this topic for the express purpose of letting people list the weird or funny things that they have had happen to them in the game...or the un-funny things, as the situation may warrant (Such as getting pummeled by three consecutive Oozaru Finishing Moves in a row when they were nearly impossible to dodge and ruined a winning streak of some sort? :twisted: )

I was originally just going to make a topic to relate something that just happened to me, but eh, I figure that might be disruptive. I can't, for the life of me, find the forum rules to this place but I figure disruptive topics are a no-no.

So, I'll start it off! I was just in "Practice" mode, trying out my MAX-7'd Kid Goku (the state where every stat is at seven, the maximum), since I had just unlocked him. I was fighting against Bardock. We'd been at it for a while now while I got the hang of this tiny titan, and I decided to try something...a "Counterattack!" (Or Rock-Paper-Scissors, which is what the attack is, and I dunno why FUNi translated it as a counterattack o-o; ) while at long range. I did it, knowing Bardock would probably use a "Full Power Energy Blast Volley" in retaliation.

He did. Here's the funny part. I was moving with such great speed, and had managed to get close enough, so that I made it past all five blasts just as they closed (For those not in the know, Bardock fires all five at once in a spread-petal pattern that quickly closes on the enemy from all sides. It's very hard to dodge...unless you zip through the middle, like I did!)

It was just off-the-wall for me, very funny, because I hadn't expected it, and I had just done the typical DBZ-stunt of flying around a bunch of ki blasts without letting a single one touch me. The only comparable experience to that was when I was SSJ3 Gotenks against Super Majin Buu (Evil) and he used the "Extermination Of Mankind Homing Attack" (Human Extinction Attack, from the anime[dub], not sure what it's called in original Japanese...) and I pretty much just zipped around all the blasts. It was like "Whoo!" zip to the left, "Hah!" zoom to the right, with these little pink streaks of light falling all around me and never touching me. Such a pretty sight.

...okay. Your turns! :D

EDIT: Okay, actually, to explain why I didn't find the rules, I was linked to the forums by one of the "Ask Vegetto EX" columns. I managed to find them now...hooray! I've read them, too. No great task, and I hope I can live by them...though I admit I'll probably have a bit of a trouble with the necro-posting prohibition... :oops:
At first, he's complaining for Gohan to stop the awful racket because it really hurts, getting more and more pained and insistent as the song goes on... then it changes, and he starts laughing and talking about the little baby chickens, and how they go "peep-peep," etc. Yep, he goes crazy... - Julian

...I noticed. :lol:
Just try not to do it again, OK? :P
Welcome to the forums.

I'd share an experience, but I still have yet to play this game.

I got in a beam struggle with Cell that lasted like...almost as long as the Anime (Okay, not really) but it went on for over a minute, and in the end he died. I could use my palms for a week.

I felt pretty good when I charged through a building and, amongst all the blinding rubble, landed a perfect bunch into the enemies face, followed by a L2+Triangle attack.

During a battle with Chaozu in the city battlefield, I simply couldn't find him. By the time I did the timer was nearly out.

I mentioned this in another topic, but I found a weird glitch with the language settings. It ended up where menu voices, in-game sounds and such were in English, but things like voice clips for supers were in Japanese. It was pretty funny hearing Recoome say "Recoom Ultra Fighting.." in Japanese and then switch the the English VA for "Bomber!!!".

A funny battle was when we discovered a glitch
I had Afterimage activated, and Buu used Extermination of Mankind Homing Blasts, so I used Counterattack!, I managed do dodge all the blasts, and attacked Buu, but then I guess a homing blast went my way, and afterimage kicked in. I was out of the Counterattack animation, but he wasn't.
So I just recharged my Ki while I watch Super Buu getting hit by nothing. Then he flew away. I exploited that glitch for the rest of the battle and my friend never used Super Buu again :lol:
