Though I will say that Spike does get blamed for dumbing down Tenka'ichi 3's combat system to the bland mess it was in Raging Blast, idk what they were thinking.Namdai probably didn't start listening to us until around 3 quarters into the release of Ultimate Tenka'ichi and by then Spike had given up.But yeah a beta being held for the "main" DBZ game is unheard of and this is a great sign.. They're finally seemingly giving us the love this franchise deserves.. Video game wise.
After the recent massive dumbing down of the games, I expect a lot more from this especially from Dimps. Someone should make it clear that we dont want generic BOZ mashy gameplay as it so far looks like. People hopefully should be looking for how combos work and what Budokai elements we need reintroduced, not what SF has that this game doesn't.

^Well said man. People now a days just want things handed to them and everything is too hard for them.....right. It seems like people on Facebook(Excluding the Budokai Remake Group)/Youtube(Excluding Budokai Community)/GameFaqs all say that BN making another Budokai or 2.5D game for that matter would be going backwards and is a waste of time..-________-
This gets me so mad that they are so ignorant, i mean why cant we have diversity?????

If they're going to go as far as to add direct references from DBO into this game as a carry over than I'd hope they give the characters the costumes Toriyama designed for the story as well. That costume for Bardock looks really cool and fresh from the usual default suit hes given. Though because not many characters did get new costumes in the game I'd assume it would be DLC.

Jeez already talking about future DLC even though the game is only goin to be released in 2015? Let them include it all in the original game (disc) rather than trying to make us pay for something we should've gotten for free.

I'm not really a fan of DLC, especially when it is something major like a race, since you bought the game and deserve to have all the races. Although, if they had DLC then the only thing I won't mind is having costumes and accessories for the custom character. Please I hope they don't pull a BOZ where you had to BUY SSJ Vegito. :problem:
"There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause troubles without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood… and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them… because in truth, I am that monster."

Why do people still go to saiyanisland.com when she just copies and paste everything from kanzenshuu main website, to her website.

I agree they are pathetic, in fact now I just follow ONLY kanzenshuu and shonengamez, both far more professional. Also, don't forget that saiyanisland put their "logo" in EVERY images/scans and of course 99% of them are NOT scanned by them or their exclusive, they ALWAYS do it for public images and scans. What a sad staff.

Let's not disparage other websites, please. If you don't find value in them, don't visit them. That's all there is to it!

Unless it's kdramastars. You can trash talk that site all you want.

Well being as they said you can make the ears pointy, that wouldn't be hard at all with what we already have at our disposal. I'm sure you can change the skin color to what ever you want, so just make a blue person with orange hair and pointy ears and boom Bojack-ish person or give someone a red mohawk and pointy ears and boom Tapion or hell even Minosha.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

I know right, it angers me how she takes all the images you can see online without the watermarks, but makes people believe she worked her behind off trying to find those images, so she watermarks it.

Just sad seeing all you guys hard work being copied and shes taking all the credit, especially how she just copied and pasted the whole thing from you guys website, and credited you guys late, and when i tried saying you guys website name kanzenshuu on her comment section, we will have to wait until she approves or disapproves, and she mostly disapproves so no one can she just copied it.

At this point, I'm just wondering if Dimps is gonna show up both Ultimate Tenkaichi and Dragon Ball Online by giving us more than just the first Super Saiyan state.
Especially now that the race is actually just being called Saiyan, unlike in Dragon Ball Online.

I must say that I am very, very interesting in this game. I really do hope the other races have buffs and benefits or even just 'power-ups' like Super Saiyan. Perhaps several techniques will be locked to Earthlings, Namekians or the other races.

Also, if we're assuming it was someone of Freeza's race in one of those scans:
Image

Then what do we expect from that? Do we expect transformations and if so, should we expect every part to have a 'level 2' equivalent and thus for transformations and your final form to be decided on the initial parts you chose and not based upon four custom transformations. I could see this working if they follow the same pattern of Freeza's transformations from Stage 1 through 4. Of course, it could be argued that we saw Coola in Stage 4 and then Stage 5 but it'd be interesting to see what they do with this.

It appears that the "Janemba-like" character in one of the screenshots from the scans may be a Freeza-like character...

If they are and they go by the same plot used, my interests would surely peak, the plot of DBO was pretty cool where lets assume those two, henchmen of the time lord go through all the sagas and posses characters they want to use to alter history and kill Goku assumingly by using Babidi's method. Or using Bardock to distort the timeline as he could see the future or something.

Seems most likely to be a Cold Character, janemba doesnt have any white on his body and Id guess they are just AI in single player if they arent precustomized. Its even more likely its someone from Froze's clan from DBH. It wouldnt be out of the question for Dimps to add over content from that game as material to use and promote their work in Heroes. Though I assumed that would be saved for the sequel.

If they use anything resembling the actual DBO plot, Towa and Miira aren't henchmen for the Kaiojikan.

We've already been told that all the major Dragon Ball races will be availible for customization in Xenoverse, with Earthlings, Saiyans, Namekians and Majins just being what we currently know about. So I don't really see a reason for Heroes material to be saved for a sequel when the traits from Froze, Rezok and the currently unnamed Berserker would be perfect fodder for the Character Creation for their race, and the fact that we already have a picture of a Froze-a-like in Timetropolis seems to support that idea. I'm hopeful we get get customization options for all the Heroes Avatars. I'd use it pretty frequently if that's the case.
