Its one of the sad legacies left by the Tenkiachi series.Hellspawn28 wrote:Budokai 3 had 40 something characters and it was a great game. I really wish people stop crying about not having 100+ characters, it seems like most fans don't like any DBZ game that does not play the Sparking series or have a huge section of characters since 2006 or 2007. Fighting games with a huge section of fighting are always end up being broken or unbalanced, like Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for example. I personally never been a big fan of the 3rd Sparking game, it seems like the games have been hit or miss since then to me. I hope this game will be a improvement over them.
Also on the character section screen, I saw more blocks after the create a character section. Maybe DLC character blocks?

Well, this game have so much cons for me already, that Rock The Dragon theme is cherry on top of the cake.LeprikanGT wrote:How often are you people watching the intro to the game for THAT to be the thing that makes you not buy it?
Also, I'm one of the people who grew up on chala head chala, so I don't see why I must have US opening in Europe.

Where is it said that this will be the European theme for the opening? The guys said in the video description that it is just "his prediction"...
Nothing official.

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
I personally won't mind if they add Rock the Dragon in the intro. It would be a nice nostalgia throw back to the American fanbase. Besides you can just skip it by pressing the start button.

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
Or just adding the correct music that corresponds to the countries or regions it was used as the opening for the series. It's not like we don't want to hear an American intro but why not just give the respective regions their respective opening so that you don't have to skip anything since you might want to watch the intro.

Are we not addressing how frickin amazing that video is? THE NEW animated scenes were gorgeous And the cutscenes with the semi mini game with Zarbon look great too.

Yeah it looked good except for the repetitive QTEs.

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
It's been said before, but people still aren't getting it. That video is in no way showing that "Rock the Dragon" will be used for the North American release of the game. It's just a guy who threw the audio on the video, much the same how the "Cha La Head Cha La" video is done.
I've gotta say I'm even more psyched for this game. Awesome traditionally animated cutscenes, mini-games in story mode, nicely done in-game engine cutscenes, fun-looking battle system, kanzenban-style texturing, sweet looking stages, I could go on.
C'mon, sweet October 25th...

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
I don't believe I have heard anyone touch on this little subject yet. Lets hope they fix the fact that when you play online, And you start winning. people rage quit! and you don't get the win and they don't get the loss. Pretty freaking sad when people do that. they better fix that or I refuse to play the multi-player until then.
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

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
I really don't think the videos with the number of pages for characters is indicative of the final roster count. There are other videos without those pages at all... obviously the builds they release are just test builds, so I really wouldn't treat at that as final until an official roster count is announced. Just sayin'.
I find it hard to believe that this game would have a smaller roster than Raging Blast 2, though developers of Dragon Ball games are notorious for making risible decisions. I really hope they aren't pretending the limited Character Creation system compensates for a lack of characters...

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
I don't mind if this game has less characters, I'm already sold on this game
I just hope they make the world tournaments in the game fun. Because I love to play them. But they just don't feel right in a way. And what I'm trying to say is, have the characters walk out and on to the stage, have the announcer talk while I'm fighting! graffiti at the end and all the works. also I hope we can hunt for the dragonballs. I don't want to complete a fight and then hey i got a dragonball. I wanna search for them.

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
Wow, they're using every selling point possible for this game. I'm loving the mini-games and of course the new animation, but at the end of the day it all comes down to the fighting engine which I'm still skeptical about.ShinMassa wrote:Oh, and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDh5Xvvn ... e=youtu.be

Do you think Ginyu will ACTUALLY have Body change this time around or get screwed again with "random Namek character" without supers/ultimates?

Re: DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)
I really wish a new official video would come out soon, these off-screen clips are such a pain to watch... Although I really like the direction this game is going. Infinite World-like mini games, with Tenkaichi 2 and Budokai 3-esque story mode, plus awesome reanimated cut-scenes - what more can a Dragon Ball fanboy ask for? Character Creator.
Can't wait to get my hands on this game!!
