What are the odds we'll see Time Breaker Bardock in this?

Too true. Online... will be a bitch with all the little kiddies Super Kamehameha-ing people to death.
Something I learned to watch out for even more back in the Network Test was the Special Beam Cannon. I had near full health and was about to win my match and the guy one shotted me with it.

It's nice to see accurate looking oozarus for once, what with the awkward Sparking!/Tenkaichi ones, and whatever the hell was going on with those fuzzy oozaru in Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi. :|

Anyone going to bet that Jaco will be a Japanese exclusive? I remember when Neko Majin was a exclusive to the Japanese version of Super Sonic Warriors 2 while the American version got nothing. I think the same will likely be the same for Xenoverse.

That was 9 years ago and was published by two different companies (Bandai for JP/EU and Atari for NA). Times have changed, and the series is now published by the same company. By the time the game releases, the Jaco volume would have already been available for a month, and the chapters were published simultaneously with Japan. It'll be hard for a Dragon Ball fan not to know who Jaco is as opposed to Neko Majin, so there shouldn't be any issue with them releasing him overseas. I'm sure fans will also ask Bandai Namco for Jaco if he was JP exclusive.

I would kill for these special characters and I am always overjoyed when I get them. Like Piccolo Daimao and Future Trunks with armor in Budokai 3 or Hachihyaku in Raging Blast 2.

He was used to promote the Xenoverse era of Heroes, so I think it's pretty likely. I'm hoping he'll only be a costume instead of his own character, unlike Trunks and Time Patrol Trunks though.

PlayStation Experience.

Here's the BN livestream info:
It’s time to show off some Dragon Ball Xenoverse action.

What do the in-game transformations look like? Can we play 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 battles? What’s the range of character customization? How does my character progress and unlock new abilities?

We will answer all of these questions and more LIVE during our Dragon Ball Xenoverse livestream on Thursday, Dec. 4th from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM PST.

It will be hosted on our Twitch channel, Twitch.TV/BandaiNamcoUS, so jump over there right now and follow us so you can be alerted when we go live with other games as well!

If you have more questions about Dragon Ball Xenoverse make sure you bring those to the chat so we can try to get you all the information you want. And of course we’ll have prizes to give away throughout the stream. We have Blu-Rays, games, and all sorts of cool Dragon Ball prizes. We look forward to seeing everyone there! (And if you can’t make it live, yes the archive will be available on Twitch and YouTube to catch up on.)

So livestream date is out? Neato, but I don't really expect very much. Will watch regardless.

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

Well, shame on me for not knowing who Jaco is, all I know is that he's a character that Toriyama's created and he's apparently strong with his own manga but other than that, I dunno anything else.

I don't usually read mangas or keep up too much with DB stuff any more so that's why.

At least you know who he is. Most casual DB fans have never heard of Neko Majin since it was hardly advertised or published anywhere else but Japan, if at all.

I doubt most causal DB fans in the US know who Jaco is since most causal fans don't seem to follow the series outside the anime and movies or go on the websites like Kanzenshuu. I would imagine most fans will be like "Who is Jaco?!" if he gets added to the game in the US.

Raging Blast 2 and Battle of Z both promoted characters whose media weren't even officially released in the west at the time. I don't think audience ignorance will have any influence on what happens to Jaco in this game.

Any questions in mind that you guys will be asking next Thursday? Mine is about what if transformations. I've been fixated on this since this game's plot was revealed to change Dragon Ball and now is my chance to ask the guys at BN myself.
