"Sparking! NEO" (PS2/Wii)

DB_Fan-- They've already put in some Dragonball characters in the first game, I'm pretty confident that they might put in one or two extra Dragonball characters and, atleast, keep the ones already in the game.

Is anyone else hoping they put in Hildegarn? I mean, they seem to want to put 'giant' characters now, and he seems like a prime candidate. I'd also want to see Tapion but he doesn't really ever do much except play his flute... (But they did put in the Supreme Kai in a few games, and he never did much... and they even had Kibitokai as a transformation in Budokai 3...)

Just a few of my wandering thoughts on the matter...

Hildegarn and Dr. Whello from movie 2 would both be good additions for the giant fighter catagorey I think. They also need giant Piccolo, though I don't know how that migh work with his possible fusions.

Ultimate Battle (or whatever it's called) really got me to learn it more. The first enemies are complete wimps, but it gets harder and harder, and I have to learn new things to win. By the time I got to the top 5, I was MUCH better, and didn't even lose once to the top 3 or so.
Ultimate Battle Mode was joke. All you have to do to win a match is spam a rush type attack. 99% of the time the computer wont be able to stop it no matter how much it decides to try and cheat.

Actually, I was using Vegetto, who didn't have a rush attack. And, he didn't even have a very long range Super Finishing Move, which screwed me over quite a few times. I wasn't close enough, and I wasted the attack.

If they're gonna add any sort of characters from DB, why not Android 8? They have every other android in there it seems, and Android 8 might actually have a move list unlike some of the characters they can put it that'd just have some random weak-ass attacks (*cough* Muten Roshi *cough*).

I'd like to see alternate costumes for the characters that have actually changed their appearance several times over the series, but hasn't changed much in technique or power (i.e. Gohan compared to Yamcha or Tien). I really think it'd be awesome if they put in the characters Dragonball costumes, so you don't have to create entirely new characters... just make them look the same!

And if they do put in new Dragonball characters, I think Karin and Yajirobe would great joke characters. I'd love to smack around some tough DBZ enemies with Whiskers the Wonder Cat's staff-thing.

Yajirobe would be awesome to have. He DID kill one of Piccolo's Demons (can't remember which one and it's been bugging me). Anyway, he's good enough to be put in there, I'd say

Dang it, now you've got me wondering. Hmm. Well, Tamborine was the one that killed Krillin, Piano was the one with the beak... and I think that Drum was the one that appeared when Tien went to fight Piccolo. If I'm right, then it would have been Cymbal that Yajirobe got.

Dear Kami-sama no...If they pass over Pan and Bra again for another retarded gag character like Yajirobe I'm going to lose all faith in this video game franchise.

Seriously, the game has enough sausage as it is, and the games aren't helping by not using the few female characters it actually has.

I agree. How would the game even work if Yajirobe was in it anyway? We last had Pan in Dragon Ball game on the original PlayStation, and Zangya on the SNES.

So far, the maximum number of female characters in a DB game has always been 2 (unless you want to include Freeza, that is).

Random? Roshi could have more actual (as in not random or generic, such as the "Energy Volley" or "High Speed Rush" attacks in Tenkaichi 1) techniques than a lot of the other characters they've used. You could pull more than enough unique-to-him attacks from his fights as Jackie Chun.

I've always thought that way myself. They don't really have many female characters to draw from in the first place, but I'd love if they'd at least use the ones that ARE there.

All correct. Yajirobe killed Cymbal fairly easily, but it is later stated by Piccolo Daimaoh that Cymbal was a lot weaker than Tamboorine. Drum was the strongest of all Daimaoh spawns; he defeated a Tenshinhan strong enough to destroy Tamboorine with ease.

Ya. There aren't that many females as it is in the series. You would think that, to try and add variation, they'd put in as many of them as they could. Let's see... female's that could be put into DB/Z/GT fighting game...

We'll go with the 'serious' one's first. The one's that are more of the fighting type. Seripa, Kid Chi-Chi, Chi-Chi, 18, Zangya, Videl, Z Pan, and GT Pan. Other's that could be added but wouldn't be quite as 'serious': Lunch, Bulma, and Bra.

That's 9 to 11 characters they could have amoung the, what, 90 males? It would at least add *some* varriance.

If you really wanna dig deep, you could also consider Ran Fan. Of course, she's only a minor character, but at least she did fight, and in a tournament, unlike Lunch, Bulma, and Bra.

Well, we can consider that Bra does know how to fight, seeing as how she's strong enough to fly and such during the Bebi Saga, along with giving him her ki.

You know, I'm really interested in how exactly the Revo-, er, Wii version is going to handle Sparking! Neo with the 3D movement remote. Will you be moving the remote through the air fly? Thrusting it forward to punch? It seems like it would be hard to do correctly without feeling awkward, but if they can pull it off, it could turn out to be extremely fun. I really hope they don't mess it up.

I do not want to play as, or fight against, a four year old.

"Kid" Gohan was in DBZ3 (and probably the others, but I only have the third one). He was only 5, maybe 6 at the oldest. Ya, Kid Gohan played a bigger role than Z Pan, but it's still a character that would be interesting, considering they're pretty much adding every character possible.
