Just the whole Super/Hyper transformations and having seven items that cause a special effect (Chaos Emeralds/Dragon Balls).
As for Star Wars borrowing from Freeza..really depends which Star Wars we're talking about. The first three movies (Episodes 4, 5, and 6) were released WAY before Freeza ever made an appearance in the manga in Japan.

Well, Sonic spoofed DBZ, rather than well, copying, although that's a thin line in it's own right.
As to Lucas borrowing from Freeza... possibly, he has been inspired by Kurosawa for his original movies. But I don't know if his japanese culture fandom extends to anime. And even then, a hover chair is a logical futuristic solution for letting a little old guy keep up with those tall long legged humans. (And at that, Yoda's hoverchair looks nothing like Freeza's)

well, Yoda didn't have his hover chair in episode 4, 5, 6, or 1. And I suppose I agree that maybe he just coincidently figure it out.
Regardless, I think we should move on since.. I don't want to get nailed for sending this thread way off topic... (Since VegettoEX-sama isn't a star wars fan, I don't think I'd get much mercy...!)

I don't think you'd get mercy even if he WAS a Star Wars fan. This is a DragonBall forum, not a Star Wars forum. So we'd be in trouble no matter what.

To get this back on topic, I'm gonna try the glitch right now. Hopefully it works.

I tried it again last night myself after I got booted from the computer but I only got Freeza to appear once in 20 minutes, and only in his normal skin. Damn it. Well, I will get a few more pictures to prove that the skin IS in there. I just... need to do it before DQ8 gets here or it'll be months before I get around to it. >.>

Well, even if the picture looked blurry, I believe you. I'm going to pop in my Normal B3 disc and see the results, If I catch him, I'll record it and show pictures. If I fail, Maybe I'll try again another time.
EDIT: Figures. Turns out I didn't want to spend twenty minutrs or more trying to find him. Tell me if anyone catches him.

Xyex, do you think that he'll appear in the UK version? I've been waiting by the title screen for a while, but the same characters just keep coming up: Piccolo, Nappa, Gohan, and Raditz. It's like a friggin' carousel! I hope that the American release is identical to the UK one.

I have no idea. I don't have the Euro version so I'm not sure. Though, I think, it should be about the same. And if you've not seen him yet don't be too suprised. I've spent 45 minutes trying to get a third appearance and not got a thing.
