Some new photos, perhaps confirming 2 vs 2:

Many are from the Japanese scans. Confirms Nappa as well.

This information came with the photos:

Well... Nappa been confirmed from the trailer. Anyway, I had a feeling. Having a lock on cirlce makes no sense for 1v1. 2v2 is probably as much as we get. I think more than that will be a clusterfuck like Battle of Z.

2v2 being in is awesome! They can keep it at 2v2 and still refine the gameplay. Going further could potentially create a problem though, at least for now. Who knows? But I trust Dimps to do this right.

Game is looking to be a mixture of Zenkai Battle Royale and Budokai, very nice.

I hope we can choose between 1 vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2.

Hoping for that as well. Long as it plays decent, I'll take either or, but I'd like love to see a choice between 1v1 & 2v2.

I didn't like how BOZ was just 4 vs. 4. BOZ felt like that they were trying to remake Legends, but at least that game can have 1 vs. 3 from what I can remember.

The glimpse of the possibility of 2v2 in this game from that screenshot instantly turns me off. :roll:

Even if it is optional. We've had such a hard time getting a good, fun 1v1 fighting game this generation as it is, that just the thought of them spending time and resources on it (something we already got, and still worked better as just 1v1) is making me worry. :problem:

Here's hoping. As long as it still holds up on everything else, it'll be fine, I guess.

James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. 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.

Keep them coming. Will we be able to customize a Goku or a Vegeta this time? Will there be a overworld map this time? Or just the freaking machine sending you battle after battle? Next episode.. ka ke te ku yo.... a pu i ro monstaaa

Because 2v2, no need to be mean just because you know he hasn't played it.

I wasn't mean, or I didn't want to sound mean. I just asked because I was curious. The 2v2 didn't come to my mind because I had Tag VS in my mind. :P

Tell me one good reason why on earth should wear a scouter.
Maybe it's used as a data recorder or maybe a camera Bulma customized. But I don't know anymore. His face doesn't really look like Gohan in the new pictures.

Game is looking good so far in my honest opinion. Might finally get another dragonball game! The last dragonball game I got for the consoles was Burst Limit haha.

Battle of Z does allow 1v1 and up but only online as the game was made to be played as, so for offline/local players it's not suitable at all.

It's not suitable to play BOZ 1v1 at all because the game is just boring at that level.
Also, since this is not DiMPS first game, do you guys think they will fix some of the mistakes they did with Brave Soldiers?

I used to play Battle of Z on 1v1 and that was pretty addictive, as we'd build up our ways of defeating one another but then yeah.. back to 8 players. A shame that Battle of Z didn't have much offline modes or any outside Story Mode.
