So I have a quick question based on what I've seen people talking about, since I've really just been watching the trailers for this, not outright gameplay videos or data mine things. What's all this about the outfits you give the characters affecting what moves they have? So...the alternate outfits are now tied to something similar to what the capsules in Budokai did?
Basically, yes. But it only applies to the regular characters, not the created ones. It means that Gokû with its, say, Yardrat outfit can only turn SSJ and throw an IT Kamehameha, for instance. You won't be able to use SSJ3 with this outfit.

...Huh. Well that's...awkward. I guess I can see why so many people are complaining about it now. It's unique I guess, but definitely something I wouldn't mind seeing get changed in a potential sequel.

I wouldn't mind that system if only we could change the outfit... I mean, they could have split the characters per arc with their respective techniques (as it is now) but on top of that select our outfit, or at least a subse of the available outfits corresponding to the period.

Edit: Guess we'll definitely not see any transformation other than SSJ...

What are they calling Freeza's Race in that image posted above?
Super Saiyan Blue is not a creative color.
DBZ Movie 3 told a stronger and more believable "Evil Goku" story in 60 minutes than Dragon Ball Super has in 20 episodes. And it did it with better visuals and score.

Seriously? DIMPS is doing a shtick like that Xenoverse? Somewhat of dick move but I can see what their intention is in the fact they want the characters in those specific costumes to perform in a similar fashion in which they were when wearing those specific costumes. But I can totally sympathize with why people are complaining about this so much and if it doesn't return in the sequel I won't miss the feature at all.

My guess is that it's called "Freeza's Clan", like it's called in Dragon Ball Heroes... But I can't confirm this since I don't know Japanese.
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.

Are you talking about the created characters? Because they can use Super Saiyan 2 as well, it was confirmed in the livestream.

It's the kanji for "family". :wink:

If you're referring to my original message then no it doesn't apply to CaC. You will be able to customise the techniques (supers, ultimates/transformations).

But if you talk about my edit, I was simply saying that while we see that the Saiyajin race has a transformation (be it SSJ or SSJ2 as you mentioned) there is no indication towards other races having the ability to transform...

Aha, I suppose I shouldn't have expected them to actually name them now when they hadn't for DBH...

Thank you all for the clarification.

I guess were not getting Cooler based on the background image for the Frieza clan CaC. You would think he would be on their if he was in game. Guess they meant it when they said no movie characters.

What about Broli? The trophies seem to indicate Broli's in the game. Also, it may be canon, but Battle of Gods is also getting some representation. So, at least two movies.

Oh! I misunderstood your edit, and didn't realize you were talking about the other races.

There doesn't happen to be a similar video showing off what various hairstyles you can give characters yet, is there?

Was going to post that when he first put it up, but got distracted with family things. Anyway. Sincerely hoping that's not all the actual Freeza Clan armors, or that these are some kind armor clothes that go over the natural ones we set during the creation process? Because even mixing and matching, it's not a whole lot of options.

Thankfully though, we at least have all the original set of armors for the Heroes incarnations.
