just saw the gameplay video. That actualy impressed me for the first time.

if it wasn't for the mandatory "being in a Team of 4 at all times" according to siloconera i'd probably pre order it. maybe

It depends on the architecture of the board the arcade machine uses. If you're thinking about Zenkai Battle Royale, it was built with modified PS3 architecture so porting it there wouldn't be much of a problem.
Hmm. Then why could't they make a port? Super DBZ did it. If they as only going to make a rip of it that not even good they could easily port it.
That's what I've been saying but I've been shot down for even thinking of this... :lol:

Have there been any screenshots of Hildegarn? Or character art? I know he's in the game, but I haven't seen an in-game shot yet.

TheGmGoken wrote:Is it be on 4v1 for most of the story just unfair on the Villians part. Especially when you have SSJ Goku(And the 3 supporters) vs Freeza. That's just....un fair to Freeza. Also I do like an what if that Freeza will fight 4v4 with all of his forms. How did that work out? Did Freeza have brothers in that What if or.........
There are plenty of things they could do with this. The easiest thing I can think of is just making bosses have 3x more health in order to compensate for being only one character. This would make you the player feel like you are fighting 3 fighters while not over doing the difficulty. Speaking of which, they could just as easily make the Bosses harder than average fighters. I mean, they are bosses after all. Looking at the AI in this game, it doesn't look like they will be stupid easy. So unless you want to keep it on the easiest difficulty I'd imagine they will put up at least a fight.

As for the different forms. The newest video posted made it look like characters could load in during the story mode. Both 18 and Cell dropped in after 17 and 16. I don't see why they couldn't do the same for any other story mode fight. You could have, say Krillin, Piccolo, Gohan fight Freeza's first form; then his second; and then his third all within the same fight. This would still leave some challenge for the player as they will be using the same health bar between each form.
...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?

Speaking of that trailer, I really like the fact that Cha-La Head Cha-La was in an American trailer for the game. It gives me hope that this game might not have a replacement score from the Japanese version.

I wish Namco Bandai would just let this Over 9000-bs die already whatever comedy it had left is gone now and no one cares about it. Use the original Over 8000.

Ultimate Tenkaichi had this too and for a game that was supposedly trying to be accurate it failed.

Anyway, I have the trophies notifications disabled so I'll never be bothered by them at least.

Isn't that Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta? He has sparks.

Also, when did we get confirmation for base Gotenks & Super Saiyan Goten & Trunks?

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.

SSJ Trunks (w/ Sword)'s hair looks the same as his base, only that it's blonde.

I guess it's supposed to be showing Trunks in the middle of transforming.

Base Gotenks is in the achievement list. It's obvious Goten & Trunks will have their Super Saiyan forms.

If it's indeed Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta, it leaves only one character not revealed yet (Base Broly or Super Saiyan Gotenks?!)

I guess this is gonna be the final roster. They have made some very bad choices, but oh well. (Underlined characters are not confirmed.)
