"DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Thread

[DNA]

Reminds me of Raging Blast, they had a pretty solid Z only roster, and then decided to throw in Broli, Gogeta and Bardock for shits and giggles.

Only one missing is Gotenks.

This is actually the first time I've seen the character selection screen, and....whoa. Talk about people being just placed all over the place.

And...wait...what...wha...what the hell did they do to Super Saiyan Trunks (last one on the third row)?! ._o

I do appreciate the variety of facial expressions though. Wouldn't mind having a larger copy of that Kuririn face eventually.

I was fairly excited for this game before seeing it in motion/getting a good look at the character models. It looks like they were based on Triangle Guy episodes or bad fan art, which is really unfortunate given that the last game had such nice models. I'm probably a lot more bummed about it than I should be!

[dbboxkaifan]

No Mecha Freeza or Super Saiyan Pan / SSJ3 Trunks? Aw, kinda bummed.

Anyway, December's not too far away now so that means we're closer to experiencing Battle of Z in our homes. I have to say that I'm somewhat excited for it, I just hope I'll like it.

Here's hoping that the new way to play is worth the low character roster.

[TheMightyOzaru]

Why are Broly's eyes red?

Low character roster? Aside from the Spike games, what fighting games have you been playing with a bigger roster than this? This seems like a fairly big roster, given the standards of the genre.

Why are Broly's eyes red?

Video game only? Not a first time something like this happen. Super Boo did eat Goku instead of Gohan in Raging blast .

WHAT
THE
FUCK?!!!!!!!!!!

Trunks's hair in SSJ(Sword) . Looks like a Lemon

They were originally intended to be red:

[TheMightyOzaru]

I'm aware. My question is why did they opt do that. His final design had blue/green eyes like every other Ssj.

[TheGmGoken]

Video game exclusive? Maybe they wanted to change the design just for the video game. Perhaps they wanted a treat for the fans. A small unnoticeable treat to most people unless they look closely at the eyes but still a treat.

[JeffJarrett]

Maybe the guy who did the in-game colors determined Broly's colors based on the film poster thinking it was the same in the movie.

[supersaiyan DbZ fan]

Its sad not seeing Gogeta in Battle of Z art style let alone being on that roster

Everything's wrong about the roster in this game. Some choices are just ridiculous.

The characters in bold are character who are NICE to have but doesn't make or break the rosters. Seeing as MOST of them are not needed. Base Vegetto is in bold because he only appeared for like 1 panel. IF the game going by manga(Not counting movie characters). Piccolo Boo has only been in 1 DB game I think so he's not a big deal. The roster isn't that good but it isn't the worst roster.

In a game where you are always in a 4v4, yes, they do make and break the game seeing as quantity is what helps the most in this type of games. (I mean, It's not like every character is that different from another...looking at you, Teen Gohan-SSJ,Goten and Kid Trunks).

Also, anyone else bothered by how terrible Kid Gohan's and Krillin's renders look in comparison to every other character, I mean, why are they battle damaged?
