This game is sure to be released in EU/US though as for J-Stars Victory Vs if we're lucky then we'll get it on the EU region.

Do remember, One Piece: Pirate Warriors was released on Europe with an actual physical copy edition and then America kinda got it too, digital format. Wish I didn't need to use OP:PW as an example but it's what I remembered.

For you people who consider SSj Bardock canon or official... why isn't he going to be in every game that Base Bardock is in from now on?.....

Shueisha considers it canon. If memory serves that is the publication company. SSJ Bardock was in DBZ Kinect and I wouldn't be surprised if he made it in here.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

I think we are fine if we don't get a new DBZ game. There are other games to play outside of DBZ games. We are lucky to get a DBZ game every year while other franchises get a new game once every few years, decades or not even at all.

Why don't we get Super Saiyan Grade 2 Trunks, Super Saiyan Grade 3 Goku, and Kami in every game? Besides, SS Bardock was barely a thing when Ultimate Blast was released. DBZ For Kinect introduced him internationally, so we could see him even in this game.

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

....I'm just glad the video game don't recognize those "grade" forms. Those are just fan terms and are not part of the official terminology. It's just Super Vegeta and Super Trunks for simplicity's sake.

No, they are official terms used in guidebooks.

Well I don't use them, it just sounds stupid. I have no problem other people using them; I know what they are, I just don't call them that.

Toei's still in many cases under sublicense from Shueisha, and since Shueisha publishes the books...

I'm not entirely sure you know what you're talking about, here :).

"Fan" guide books would be things like these.

Things like the Daizenshuu, Chōzenshū, Super Exciting Guide books, the Dragon Ball GT Perfect File books, the Extreme Battle Collection books, and so on and so forth... those are all officially-produced products released by the original rights-holders.

You can do whatever you want to with their information, but defining them as "fan" books really isn't "correct" in any regard.

I was just talking about the video games specifically. Those grade forms are in the games for Vegeta and Trunks but they're not called by that specifically. If they are official then Toei or Namco Bandai should have no problem using them to describe Vegeta and Trunks' Super forms.

Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3, and in some cases, Super Saiyan 4 are official forms because they're acknowledged in both the video games, the anime, and the manga. Going by those 3 mediums I never heard the terms "Super Saiyan Grade 2 or 3" ever used.

But whatever, I doesn't bother me THAT much. I'm just pointing out that I don't recall "Super Saiyan Grade 2" ever being mentioned in the manga....which really should be the only legit source when detailing Dragon Ball mythos but hey who am I? I don't know anything :lol:

Not in the english version, I don't think (been a while). The Japanese version has Goku "explain" the grades while demonstrating them to Gohan in the RoSaT, which is where the guides took the term from.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

Every new Grand Theft Auto takes a good while to be released because they take everything to account and within that time they know what needs improvement and what to be fixed. Yearly games that aren't sport tend to go down the shitter because with such a short time it's hard for them to fix the flaws of the game.

Those SF2 graphics still look fantastic to this day, you just made me want to play it again. :P

Okay we get it that you don't like and nor consider SSJ Bardock canon, but no one really cares.

Indeed.

The last update that Namco Bandai posted about this game was on the 24 June 2013, so we'll more than likely have to wait for Japan Expo for something new.

Unfortunately I don't have the book near me at the moment but I believe in the Viz version they use the term "ascended" or something like that to describe the "ultra/super" forms of Super Saiyan. I just can't remember off hand. I don't think the anime gives them a title though. I'm visiting my parents so I don't have any material with me but from what I remember I don't think even Kai gives them a name(could be wrong though). I like Super <insert character name here>. because Vegeta likes to call himself "Super Vegeta" when he transforms and I've always found that kind of funny for some reason. Plus, ascetically it looks better and not as literal and doesn't have that 90's vibe that comes with "ultimate."
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?
