Definitely GT Gotenks for me. I always wanted to see an official version of him and they totally nailed it here. Love his stylish outfit which fits his silly character and makes him stand out.

The guys that make the new SS2s have completely misinterpreted SS2. So far we've gotten 9 new SS2s, and all of them just have their SS hair with sparks (F. Trunks, F. Gohan), or with red sparks (Bardock), or without any sparks at all (Beat, Erito, Beserk, Note, Viola, Forte). I'm not sure if they even make any changes in the models of SS2 Adolescent Gohan, Vegeta, and GT Vegeta, other than just adding sparks.

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.

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.

Bebi Janemba is my favorite so far. I was let down by Super 17 absorbing Cell since it should be the other way around in my opinion. Makes me wonder what character that they will do with Super Yi Xing Long. Buu absorbing him won't be that far off in my opinion.

Yeah my favorite would be Bebe Janemba too, such an awesome idea. And I know this might be a little nit picky but they shouldn't give SSJ4 to any non pure blooded Saiyan simply cause that's the rule in GT. And I'm surprised they haven't given Pan Super Saiyan yet.

"Makes me wonder what character that they will do with Super Yi Xing Long. Buu absorbing him won't be that far off in my opinion."
Did they say they're gonna do something with Yi Xing Long? That should be cool.

I agree that they are being lazy with the hair, specially in Bardock's case for who they could have just swap the hair with Goku's SS2, but the avatars do have sparks when they transform to SS2, I have seen it several times on youtube videos.

There actually isn't any such rule in the original version; there's only a dub line implying that.

Oh yeah? That I never knew. In that case SSJ4 Gohan would be pretty cool. And a what if I'd like to see would be Gogeta and/or Vegitto Jr, as in Goku and Vejeta Jr's fusion. Even though I'm not a fan of the whole fusion concept (it seems kinda cheap, I don't know) I think it'd be cool to see. "The original Super Saiyan" that Vegeta spoke of would be another cool what if character, I'd like to see if they'd make him normal SS, Golden Oozaru or SSJ4

The original Super Saiyan is a character should be a off screen only character. I don't want the mystery to be ruined.

"The original Super Saiyan" is also pretty much a dub-only thing, since in the Japanese manga/anime Vegeta only mentions that "a Super Saiyan appears once every 1,000 years" and says nothing about any particular previous Super Saiyan. Then there's loads of fan-produced misinformation added into the mix.

"The original Super Saiyan God" then, this one exists in the original version.

Let's keep those characters off screen please. There will be no mysterious left in the DB universe.

It's a manga. While I don't mind mysteries like plots like the original SSJ or original Saiyan god, (they?) could help the series as far as what if stories go.

Gotenks ss3 was confirmed a long time ago. He appeared in the promotional video and his card wasn't secret.

About the original super saiyan or the super saiyan god, I prefer them not appearing at all. In any case, I would like to see Garlik or Ozotto before any of those.

I'm not going to debate the hair styles, but all of them in the Heroes game have yellow auras with (shitty, barely discernible) yellow sparks; even Bardock and the Avatars. It's the same for the Super Saiyan 3 characters too.

I hope they say that this SSJ2 Bardock is fake, i mean, this is a new SSJ1 grade. Something similar to Dai San-Dankai

With that hair, it's disappointing. I'm with you. Heroes has never done anything like you're desiring though, so you probably just need to accept what's been done and move on to waiting for whatever they do next...

Best consolation I can offer you is to hope that Toyotaro alters his hair to be that of SS2 Goku in Victory Mission, that Ooishi does the same if we happen to get Episode of Bardock 2 as a manga from her or that Yamamuro decides to discard the design and use the SS2 Goku hair if we get it as an animated special.

So they use the Budokai three auras? That's a shame, I was hoping they'd be more like Infinite World where they changed the sparks to blue.
