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

[Kendamu]

Why in the world would there be an option to turn on and off the planet destruction?

The same reason why you can turn off destructible environments in the BT series.

Are you for real? Why Spike? Why?

Maybe you only wanna fight in a certain environment when that stage is selected and don't want to have to worry about the risk that comes with destroying that environment.

For those who want to better understand the gameplay, this video does a pretty good job of covering it with what we have been told and are able to determine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-HvBBa7 ... r_embedded

Now that I have a better understanding of the fight system, I actually kind of like the idea behind it. Obviously, at least to me, I think it could use some tweaking all around, but over all it isn't a bad idea. Unless Namdai signs Spike on for another contract though, there won't be any tweaks to the system, so I'll just deal with what I've been given. It isn't as horrible as I once thought...

Are you for real? Why Spike? Why?

I don't see the logic here...what could possibly be wrong with having the option to turn something off? It would be OPTIONAL, you could just keep it on all the time...

I don't know. That just seems like a wierd option to have. It's like having the option to have the characters blink. Would you like characters to blink: on/off? It just seems random. Why wouldn't you want a destructable environment?

Why would you even use that as a comparison? Two totally different things...one is almost completely irrelevant to a fighting game (would you really care if they didn't blink?), while the other can affect gameplay. The actual destructive environments don't bother me, but personally, I got tired of sitting through the planet destruction cutscenes after the first couple of times in most of the previous games. I normally pick a map because I want to play on that specific map and reenact a fight, and most of them don't destroy the planet. It really started to feel like it was interrupting the flow of gameplay, and I typically dislike the destroyed Earth maps anyway.

I'm a little sad that Kageyama won't sing a new song.. Not because I don't like Cha La Head Cha La, but a new song would be better.

Anyway the news is awesome, and the gameplay seems way more better now. Can't wait!

Bardock's bandana is flying through space...
Since they are ignoring Episode of Bardock, I highly doubt Chilled will be in the game.

Oh it effects gameplay? I'm still thinking back to Budokai 3 where it doesn't. Guess I'm wrong then. I stopped giving Spike my money after Tenkaichi 2 so I havn't been up to date on anything.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Just noticed, the OVA in Raging Blast 2 lasted 30 miniutes, and the overall animation in Ultimate Blast also lasts 30 miniutes. Could this bring the posibility that in the next PS3/XBox 360 games, we will have 30 miniutes of new animated features? For example, in the next one, we may get Episode of Bardock. I hope this will happen, since now that they did this with 2 games, they would piss off fans.

I am so mad at Kai...bastards.

In other news, that looks pretty!

Omfg did they FINALLY combine the two future Trunks?!

I don't really know how the system works, but doesn't this game allow you to customize your "super" and "ultimate" attacks like the RB series did(I haven't played RB 1 or 2)?

If so this could simply be a costumized Future Trunks(w. Sword) and not necessarily an indication of Spike combining the two versions.

Well as some one already stated, Goku was the only character with customizable Ultimates but true enough I guess. I think its silly to have two of the same character that could quiet possibly have the same move set, so I hope they did find a way to combine them.

I hope not.

Why though? Its still the same character, same with Vegeta and Boo arc Gohan.

The reason they were split into two characters was because of the sword.

But now he doesn't even use the sword in normal combat, only in select Supers and the two Ultimates "Sword" Trunks had in previous games. They could just make it where if you have a technique applied to Trunks that requires a sword, then it is added to his costume (didn't Budokai 2 do that?). The created characters have shown off costumes that are very similar to Trunks' outfit, and some have had swords and others haven't...it could be done if they really wanted.

[SRB2Unleashed]

Because I like using Trunks with a Sword seperately. And yes you can use it at will when pressing O.

No, you can't. Apparently the characters signatures have been removed, so the only time he uses the sword is in the Supers/Ultimates.

I was referring to Raging Blast but...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Oh well. Still I remember using his sword in combos in BT3

Seriously, I`m getting pissed. WHERE THE FUCK IS UUB?
