I don't see why not, since Bardock actually appeared in that form for a little at the beginning of his TV special. It wouldn't even be a "what-if" character.

Regarding to the in-game fusion, doesn't anybody think that it's that exciting. Shouldn't a flash occur at the conclusion of the fusion dance? I do hope that they add in the flash.

My favorite videos were Tenshinhan's and Gogeta. Hmm...explosive goodness.

Oh, my lord. Cui's special is awesome. Hilarity is sure to ensue when I actually use that move on Freeza himself..

"Ah! Lord Freeza!!"

Finally! I can see Cui in action! I've been waiting a long time to play as him. Sparking NEO is going to be great! :D

I hope some of the in-game fighting improves, but it looks like its going to be the same. Either way I'm still excited for this game.

Garlic Jr. is some guy from movie 1 and had his own saga between the Trunks and Freeza saga.
Cui was one of Freeza's henchmen. The first person Vegeta met on Namek and gave us a nice display of fireworks.
I know who they are. What I don't know is why those embodiments of suck are in the game.
Random dude #353 was confirmed about a week about so #354 might also get in. :P

Looks like some info on the story mode (krillin, yamcha, tien and chaozu VS those saibamen, as an example, i think).

Correct me if I am wrong, but in the first scan, I think I can see ChiChi fighting against Majin Buu.

I am very impressed with how the new cutscenes look. In BT1 you only ever had 2 characters talking on screen at one time, and they always stood directly infront of eachother. In those above scans you can see 8 characters on screen at once in one picture.
Also, de-transforming is cool. =P

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n276 ... /dbz51.jpg

This makes me want to play as non-baby GT Vegeta. Can't have everything we want though i guess. =P

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n276 ... /dbz47.jpg

Hmmm, Marvel VS Capcom style character switching, or 4 characters fighting at the same time? I wonder.
They also seem to have made it so you choose if you want to be able to have characters transform in battle, or have set forms like in BT1. Very nice. Looks like they've put a lot of effort into this one. Good on them.

Those guys at Spike must be working their butts off to bring us the game! :shock: Li Shenron already has pages full of combos... can they do this with each individual character? That's insane.

Yep. It's been done to the highest quality. :o

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I wouldn't be surprised if Neko Majin did show up. :wink:

I think I see long haired Yamucha in one of those magazine scans. =D That makes me a happy man.

Wow. :shock:
They actually have combos this time. I'm surprised. To be honest, I didn't expect them to do much with the fighting itself, instead, just throwing in a bunch of new characters.
I would've been happy either way, since I already loved the first game. But this...this is even better.
Awesome. >:3

Speaking of Yamcha, I'd STILL like to see a DragonBall desert bandit Yamcha, with a different fighting style, of course. Like incorporating his sword, panzerfaust, and Puar into his moves. :P

*Was I hallucinating, or did I see Yajirobe in silhouette in one of those gonintendo scans?

*Mark me down also on the list of sword-using, Pu'ar-helping, bandit Yamcha.

*Still waiting for Dr. Wheelo, Gurumes, Lucifer, Dr. Raichi, and Hatchyack...

Are you kidding? Will you really be upset if there not in the game? There is like 100 people be happy with that many. I doubt you'll ever see them in a fighting game.
