You STILL think it's gonna be like that with him?

Anyway, I don't see the point of complaining about beam struggles anymore. Heck, the Naruto Storm games(Storm 2 and above) didn't have any jutsu clashes, and there wasn't that much outrage, and it sold millions. So yeah, who cares about the beam struggles?

LMAO, the damage control is a all time high in this post.
:lolno: No damage control here. Just proving a point that if another game removed something that was important, but still had positive reception and sales, then this game can do the same, if the gameplay and character creation are good. For me, I just don't care.

Yes, I STILL think it's going to be like that with him. Even more so with the data mine providing files for "FRZ", "FR4" and "FR5", but none for the SS transformations. I mean, if you're going to include files for half a dozen GT characters, I would think SS Goku should be in there too if this accounted for characters AND their in-battle transformations.

Well, I think it's good if SS Goku wasn't in the, because, as I said to the other guy,

Well like I said earlier Sergio said that this game , might have heroes characters in it.
"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."

True but I'd prefer to hear it from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

I'm really not trippin on the whole transformation situation, but maybe that's because I always preferred playing against Freeza instead of actually playing as him. But this game doesn't even seems like the battle would last long enough to actually go through of of Freeza's transformations anyway. I'm hoping that battles last longer as players increase stats and health as a result.

But none of these thing are confirmed until we see the finished product. I'm most likely going to be mostly playing with my CaC anyway.I for one am really interested in seeing how they plan on handling transformations for non Saiyan CaCs.

Well, Earthlings never really had one to begin with, the Majin characters could still turn into Pure Buu I guess, but I don't see the Namekians getting their giant form back in this game. Freeza doesn't seem to have his so I don't think his race will get one either. Really doesn't seem like any of the non-Saiyan characters from the actual series are getting their transformations for use in-battle. So I'm not sure if any of the non-Saiyan CAC races will be given transformations either. there might not be anything for you to look forward to, though I would love to be proven wrong. :D

Namekians could get something akin to what the one Namekian does in the DBO intro. The red eyes and purple aura.

Going to Comic Con tomorrow and interview Namco Bandai PR about Xenoverse.

Will Ozotto be part of Xenoverse's playable roster?

Probably not but come on, Ozotto deserves to be in Xenoverse rather than Chaozu, Yamucha, Freeza Soldier, Mr. Satan or some other stupid pointless character that can't fight.

Uh...I can get the desire to have another character like Hatchyack make their glorious return, but more deserving than Chaozu, Yamcha, or Mr. Satan? Characters who are actually in the series proper? I...dunno about that.

What have they done other then just be in the series ? They haven't done anything to be added instead of characters like Ozotto and Hatchiyack nor are they anything near them in terms of power and game potential.

Chaozu has his psychic abilities, Yamcha has the Wolf Fang Fist and Spirit Ball, Mr. Satan has gag-related attacks. I could be misremembering, but wasn't Ozotto's whole deal that he just copied people's abilities? Just right there that sounds less unique, though they could easily give him something more than that, he's pretty much a clean slate to work with.

And as far as power goes, it's a video game...no matter what they do, you're gonna be able to beat anybody with anybody else, so power really shouldn't be a concern here.

Chaozou an Mr. satan have always been wasted character dolts to me. Although I could imagine Chaozou and Guldo matching up.

A video with a female Super Saiyan from TGS, can't believe that I missed this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVL0BqVaxU8

Also from the leaklist, I think Godku and SSJ4 Goku/Vegeta are going to be separate charas, well SSJ4 Vegeta being a separate chara is something new for DIMPS, but not for Spike. Fusions being separate charas was really expected. So Perfect Cell and Super Perfect Cell? Was this really needed?

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

Shame the transformation wore off just after the match ended, or does that happen automatically? Anyway, this game is really looking fun from all the videos I've seen.

Looks like local multiplayer will have Ultimate Attacks without quick cutscenes. Makes sense to me. Keeps the pace of the battle consistent.

That character list seems solid to me. Looks like Infinite World's Roster. A little curious as to why they would skip Cell's imperfect forms and Freeza's Form 2 and 3. I guess they went the Spike route and had it so only characters/forms that influence the story are included.
