Yeah, that's the word I wanted to use, "deceit". What the hell? It's just like the issues with "Pikkon" from the last game, but what now? Instead of playing tricks on us about a single character, now they're playing jokes about the whole DragonBall story arc. Man, I thought I already griped too much about not having the seven Evil Dragons.

Anyways, does anybody know what was written about the "Dragon Adventure" in the first scan?http://gonintendo.com/wp-content/photos/up134031.jpg

They haven't nesisarily shown all the characters yet, otherwise there won't be anything in the game that'll make you go "WOW, I didn't think that would happen!" Discovering things is half the fun of the game IMO.

They need some R&R guys as well in there if they include a full-scale DB port.

General Blue is a must! How about Black in his mobile suit? Don't forget Ninja Murasaki! King Piccolo, Kid Kuririn, Shiyoken Tenshinhan, Cyborg Taopaipai and Tamborine all seem good for the Sparkling! franchise.

If all the characters haven't been revealed yet, Piccolo Daimao HAS to be in this game. King Cold would be nice too. Who else would there be.....DB Kuririn? GT Goten? GT Trunks? Z Pan?

All I want is Fat Gotenks.

I'll be happy.

I seriously doubt that there's a bunch of characters in the game that we still haven't seen. It would be nice, but the game goes gold soon. They probably won't be adding things in at this point, just bug-testing the game.

I agree that Piccolo Daimao should be in though. I mean, they've completed all the other storylines by giving characters their evil counterparts of the time (like Super 17 for Super Saiyan 4 Goku). They really have to give Kid Goku someone to match up to. If not for the sake of the story mode, then for the sake of gameplay, at least.

Technically they already have someone to match Kid Goku up with.

Have we forgotten about Taopaipai?

That blows, I'm disappointed they aren't going to include the DB story arcs.

Yeah, but it's not like with Piccolo where he was an ultimate rival or something like that. Plus Piccolo Daimao had significant encounters with Roshi, Tenshinhan, and Chiaotzu too.

That doesn't mean there isn't someone they haven't revealed that they've had programmed for a long time now. What's the point of secret characters if they're not a secret? It's not nesisarilly a bunch either, they could have a few they keep a secret.

Well at least they have Vegeta in his BAD MAN shirt on 1 of the menu screens. Makes me happy enough for a purchase.

You'd happily buy a game if it has a picture of Vegeta wearing a pink shirt..?

It's also a possibility that they may not want to hold any secrets (as far as characters go, anyway) back though. I mean, listen to some of us here; we're complaining about certain characters seemingly not in the game.

If they wanted to sell this thing to the fans, they might wanna mention everyone they have, to draw more people into buying the game because they'll know there's a character they wanted.

Look at Super DBZ; they announced all the extra characters that weren't in the arcade version.

Can anybody confirm this: In the last video, is that the same attack that Trunks used to kill Imperfect Cell in his timeline? Is there a name for it?

Those pictures down the very bottom, is that in indication that we have another 3-d opening?

I'm afraid that's what it looks like.

Oh well...

You're really on top of this game. I'm glad the "Dragon Adventure" mode is just as I'd imagine. Dragon Ball Z 3 map with some Budokai-esque cutscenes.

Finally some video confirmation of this. It's going to be great being able to use the entire Ginyu Force at once.
