With that said, if it doesn't have Super Saiyan Bardock and Ultimate Gohan with the kaioshin costume I will rage lol
Why do people want Gohan in the Kaioshin outfit?
Same reason people like Goku in his Yardrat outfit, it looks cool.

Gohan in Kaioshin outfit looks cool?
. Looks to big on him and makes him seem awkward. Honestly Goku in Yadrat outfit would look badass if he didn't have the ed/orange pants. Blue pants,white pants, or sliver pants would make the outfit MUCH MUCH MUCH more badass.

Yup. And, since this is basically personal preference, I think it looks a lot better than the Great Saiyaman outfit. Hilarious as it is. I'm not kidding myself in that the kaioshin costume isn't supposed to be a little awkward on him (sword in the air pose sells it lol), but I still find it cool. And I thought it looked great in Super DBZ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjsmrtdB ... age#t=271s

Honestly I prefer if we got actual characters like Cooler and Broly rather than a character creator mode. I'll be perfectly happy if we just got all the characters from the movies instead of a character creator :thumbup:

They actually put around that much characters in their games? damn

Speaking of their games though, what was your personal opinion on them? Atleast to have an idea on the quality of games they make.

You mean including 300-400 characters? Spike's Tenkaichi 3 was terribly flawed for focusing quantity over quality and if ARTDINK went down that road it'd be even worse than Spike.

Namco Bandai isn't that stupid.
What terrible flaws? U mean highest selling dbz game and second only to budokai 3 and that is still debated.

BT3 was just giant fan service which is why the game sold well. Other then the large selection of characters, it's not much different from BT2 with some minor changes. Budokai 3 felt like a big step up compare to the first two games.

The character on the right isn't Goku. The two faces are really different.
Okay... I have to say it now. Why does the picture on the left keep getting referenced? It's clearly a fan-made render... and it totally looks off. His head looks huge, and his hair looks too bushy. There's literally thousands of better pictures to use as an example than that. :?
It's a vector from a Tadayoshi Yamamuro Illustration. (Daizenshu 10/Chozenshuu 3) That's not a fanart :)

So far for the models. I say they don't match the anime nor manga(For some characters). For example in the video through Krillin had his eyes correct both him and Gohan look like what happens when a Drunk Deer
bangs a Drunk Asian

Yeah, in most cases, the models look less accurate than Spike's or Dimps' (Burst Limit, that is), but there are certain areas that are better. As has been mentioned, Oozarus. Either way, I still like them. Not sure why, maybe it's just refreshing to see completely new models that aren't polished versions of the same old Spike ones. If the gameplay's good, then I really can't see myself caring about the graphics anyhow. They aren't spectacular, but they're good enough, I'd say... as opposed to, say, Sagas.

The graphics remind me of Budokai HD collection, B3 in particular. Don't care, if it plays good, ima playz it.

I say more of a HD version of DBZ sagas graphics to be honest.

Burst Limit still has the best graphics for a DBZ game by far. It's kinda sad they haven't used or improved that style.

Budokai had the best graphics. Just kidding. But seriously Ultimate Battle 22 had the best graphics.
Look at those. It looks exactly like the anime! No graphics have done that ever again. Even on this Ps3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

Serious Mode: Revenge of King Piccolo had Burst limit graphics. Bad sadly was downgraded for the WII's lack of HD functions

Huh... I'm really liking the classes idea. It's kinda what I was thinking with having different groups give different powers or stats etc.

Can't wait to see what else they have in store.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

Yeah that opens up great gameplay. So far from trailers the perfect team is

Goku - Fighting
Piccolo - Ki blast
Krillin - Support
Gohan- Interference

Through I don't know you get to chose all of your teammate classes but if so this how I'll make mine.
