Heroes Card Database
Now it's got a card image for each character and form. Thanks to TheDevilsCorpse for the card images. I hope you enjoy it!
If you can pinpoint me to the cards for the missing forms I'll add them promptly.
It looks really good so far! Not much for me to say other than that, but nice job.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Thanks guys! I've already added the slots for the Hakaio and the next dragon, since we already know the cards exist. I also added a slot for Shadow Goku; despite being a bland darker shade of Goku GT, so far unsummonable and without a card; it is a thing, so I felt it should be acknowledged. There's also a slot for Giant Liu Xing Long, which is also unsummonable so far. I think that's everyone...

Why are there 2 Yamchas, Tenshinhans, and Chaozus? Aren't these just alternative outfits? Also, "Kaioshin" Gohan is an alternative outfit of Ultimate Gohan.

Did you even read the notes?
Note2: Characters with the same name share the same in-game models.
Note3: Kaioshin Gohan is Ultimate Gohan with Kaioshin clothes, uses the Z-Sword to attack.
Apart from Yamcha, Tenshinhan and Chaozu, the 3 Vegetas are all the same as well. I separated them for the sake of convenience.

I put notes at the very top of the page so they would be hard to miss, yet all of you seem to miss them anyway.

Yes, I read the notes. I don't agree in separating them, because they are the same character in-game.

"Make my own"? Can't you accept criticism? You've made something cool there, yet there are these inconsistencies there. Is it there to list the DBH characters, or a showing of various versions of characters with DBH cards for pictures? You either list the different characters of the game, or you don't. Kaioshin Gohan, Saiyan arc Vegeta, and the DB versions of Tenshinhan, Chaozu, and Yamcha are alternative outfits, not different characters, and SS2/3 Majin Vegeta & Super 1/2/Oozaru Baby are forms are different forms of Vegeta & Vegeta-Baby respectively, also not different characters. If you've already done it, make it right, especially when it's not that hard.

I was going to respond to his project in the PM he sent me, but since he's already posted it, I'll just come here and say that I mostly agree with you.

I don't like the separation of characters either. I feel like if you are going to go through the trouble of making the list and using the official terms for the characters's eras and forms, that you should honor their classification system as a whole. (Only one Vegeta. etc.) I like the idea of adding the cards to help show everything in a more clear manner, but the number of forms for some characters leaves it looking kinda poorly organized and the missing forms have it appearing less "clean". Not a lot you can do about it if you want to stick to this method, but it is something to note.

Honestly, I guess I just prefer the old text list.

PS. DBZGTKOSDH, despite the fact that the Bebi Vegeta forms can transform into each other, they aren't just Bebi Vegeta -- Base, Super, etc. They have different card names, and are thus "different" characters.

Well I really like this grid with the cards, gonna bookmark it. I haven't really kept up with this whole Heroes thingy so that is a neat way to recapture everything.

Oh, I didn't notice that. In-game, do they transform to each other? From what I recall, at least Vegeta-Baby is produced by having Baby merging with GT Vegeta.

I made this mostly for me and others to keep tabs in what characters and forms have been represented in Heroes. I fused some because it's just plain stupid to have certain transformations separate (Super Baby, Rild) and repeated characters (2 Future Trunks's, 2 Good Majin Buus). I've separated some for the sake of convenience and that is acknowledged with notes. DBZGTKOSDH you didn't criticise, you just flat out disagreed with my organization, so yes, if you want it done your way, do it yourself.
In sum, I've made this table in an order that makes sense to me, that pleases me. I did not do this to please you, so if you don't like it, look away.

It's not me that disagrees, and there isn't "my way". You are contradicting the game by making an inconsistent list of the game's characters & forms.

Well, too bad. I made this my way and I'm happy with it. Plenty other people are happy with having a general idea of who's in. The notes explain everything else, whatever isn't explained in the notes is of little importance. So once again, if it peeves you so much, you do an accurate and consistent list. I made this for fun and you're sucking the fun out of it by concerning yourself with minor, unimportant details. Seriously dude, I've already wasted more time with this than I should, I've got better things to do to be worrying about an accurate list. It's good enough as it is. What I did, you can do, if it's so important to you, go do it.

I'm not being a dick, I'm justifying why I chose to organize it the way I did and why I'm not going to change it, you're the one who keeps insisting that I should because you want it. At least TheDevilsCorpse was polite about it and I understand and respect his view. You've been demanding and rude, so yes, my response to that is do it yourself.

Other than that, I could not fit any more forms in one line so I had to separate Vegeta to make it look nicer.

And since you mentioned missing forms TheDevilsCorpse, could I bother you to pinpoint me the missing Super Saiyan 2 cards? As for the Neko Majins, even though their cards are up on the site, I'll wait until the next set to add everyone in one go. Unless you got them done already.

That's cool but if they wanted to go that way they should make Kakarot his own character, like he never bumped his head. And your chart is awesome thank you for making it I've always wanted something like it for the game and it confirmed characters I kinda doubted existed like Kid Vegeta.

Thanks brah! Yeah, there are a lot of cool things they could do but who knows, they might still do some of them. By the way, Shadow Goku is a boss only so far, summonable by Evil Shen Long I believe.

Yeah, you can do whatever you want. I just threw in my two cents. The only thing on your list that outright irritates me is "Kaioshin" Gohan. Note included or not, I can think of zero reason to separate him because of an alternate outfit and attack. In that case, you might as well separate the Kame, Kaio and Go dogi Goku's based on if they use a Kamehameha, Genki Dama or Super Dragon Fist.

There you go, though base Future Gohan doesn't exist right now with his base art on a card, while Super Neko Majin Z has Super Neko Majin art on his base form card.
