Broli has been every video game since 2003. He is the most popular movie character next to Coola in both the US and Japan. I'm hoping LSSj3 Broli does not return since I hated the long green hair that he had.

Well he looked kind of meh in RB2. Hair was too plastic.

But nobody can deny his RB1 appearance. That was unexpected enter of the dragon. NOBODY thought this would happen. I still remember my amazement over this, back in 2009.

Broly is my favorite DBZ Character. Forever.

Correction: The producer said the game focuses on the Saiyan and Freeza arcs. He did not say Cell and Buu wouldn't be included. That comment could mean a number of things. Either way no one plays for the Story Mode anymore anyway.

No, it was never said. What was said was that the story will focus on Saiyan & Freeza arc, which is old news. It doesn't mean that it will focus only in Saiyan & Freeza arc.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. 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 wanting all the Heroes' what-ifs that can be added onto the game's included characters: SS3 Vegeta, SS3 Future Trunks, etc. I'm just going to hope that Broli's hair won't be so lime green and will look more like it did in Movie 8.

Also, since Bardock is included, I'm really wanting his SS form and Chilled to finally be included (Kinect doesn't count)...

SSJ Bardock would be a fantastic addition!

(Ha, a fellow SSJ6)

I personally hated RB2 to be honest. When I saw there was no story mode and instead we got that Galaxy mode, I was extremely disappointed. Also, the super shiny character models were just really distracting compared to RB1's models. I also despise the Raging Soul mechanic, felt it was totally unnecessary to the overall seeing as RB1's gameplay was fine to me.

Why? we've seen the story SOOOOOOOOO many times. A nice arcade mode with Galaxy and Battle Zone was neat IMO. Just a fighting game. Also RB2 fighting system was faster than RB1. But yea the Raging Soul was stupid. I do hate those un needed items like 99+ health that pretty much make your health never ending, The defense where nothing hurts you, and pointless other shit. That goes for RB1 as well. it made online unfair and to be honest cheap wins. Ignoring spam of course.

Galaxy mode was boring in my opinion. It was fun then I got tired of it after the first few missions.

See I wouldn't mind Galaxy mode if not for those god awful mission requirements. Defeat the enemy in one combo, defeat the enemy before raging soul runs out, use only ki attacks, use only melee attacks, fight on the brink of death (worst one), and more. I know we have been through story mode before but at least include SOME elements of the story at least. I didnt mind the faster gameplay but everything else was just..really underwhelming for me at least compared to RB1. Not to mention online mode was filled with Kid Buus, Super Gogetas, and SSJ3 Brolies.

Regarding the tetris system of RB1, yeah it could be cheap, but I never found it to be overpowering or unfair when used. There was always ranked matches so you could always fight someone on your level so it kinda balances itself out.

After seeing that we can all now confirm that SSJG Goku is smaller but looks like a normal Goku because Goku and SSJ Goku are huge in this game.

No, I was comparing Goku and SSJ Goku in the video to the SSJG Goku images.

A re model perhaps. Till we see SSG now then we can't say anything. Earlier Goku and SSG Goku looked about the same. So maybe they re model Goku. But who knows. Maybe it was the angle or the position.

The character select reminds me of MUGEN Games :lol: . So it seems like humans are getting their Cell Arc appearance only =(. YES GReat Ape is playable again. Wait...no in-game transformations! FUCK! Yup this is Mugen support of the game :lol: . Unless Mugen have in game transformations now. Great now 6 wasted character slots for Freeza's transformations
