It's (not) "TEN-KAI-CHI"!

Post by Sun_Wukong » Sun Oct 15, 2006 11:16 am

I seriously think Atari is on crack. How do they get Ten-kai-ichi out of Tenkaichi? Seriously, where's the extra "I" folks?

Have you all seen this walkthrough?

Is it just me or as soon EX says finds the kink in the armour of American publishing or likewise, every other member needs to follow going "Yeah I'm so sick of this bla bla"

Anyway, I dunno maybe it's an American thing :) joke.
I'd still choose the PS2 over the Wii version cos it might seem innovative at first but after it will just get tiresome and unneeded.

Thats when you can use the gamecube controller instead.

Wow. :shock: . Sure its easy to use that controller when your oponent dosen't move. Could you imagine what its going to look like when your in an actuall battle and you have to move up or down or dash and shoot ki attacks at the same time? We're gonna look like damn fools. Oh well, maybe it'll be fun... :lol:

The movement system looked pretty broken. You would think in a tutorial, you would see the game in its best light. She sounded like she knew DragonBall a little bit, even though she used a chibi genki dama.. :roll:

Honestly, WTF?

They pronounce it wrong, I therefore scream at them. Why on earth would I want to copy EX?

Well something that gives more justification at being mad at them is they don't even use to term "Tenkaichi Budokai" in the entire dub, so why use it as the title of a videogame if none of the dubies will know what it is?

There are far worse injustices in the world. :roll: Are they saying it wrong or is it text? The title in the trailer looks like it's spelled right (even though I know it's the wrong way.... Atari's publishers suck WE KNOW ALREADY!).

They say it wrong in the commercial, wich leads to others saying it wrong. Bush says nuclear wrong, his followers say it wrong.

Actually, it's 'Ten Ka Ichi' (with 'ichi' being the 'one' in 'Number One Under the Heavens Tournament') >_>;

Hmmm... I was wondering how the game would be played on the Wii. That actually looks interesting. I like having to make the characters' actual motions a lot. It's too bad I will never own a Wii, this actually looks like it might be fun. But how would one go about moves like Ginyu's body switch?

Dunno. It's interesting, since the PS2 version has the same presses for each character. I wonder if the 'Kamehameha' and 'Genki Dama' motions would be implemented for each character in a cheap move.

Anyway, I could see how it'd be fun, but get old fast. I mean, I throw tons of energy blasts in a match, I'd probably be sore after the first saga ;p

I think that'll be another benefit to the game. It'll keep the players in some sort of shape. Or, at the very least, the players will get some good arm exercise (Maybe Nintendo should make a Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii, for a full body workout).

It's too bad the punch and kick doesn't involve actually punching and kicking...

Well, when the Wii was in development, they did mention that you don't need to go overboard with the motions and that simple movement still registers with the game. In other words, you won't need to jab your arm rapidly like in the show for Sparking! Neo or swing your arm wildly to swing Link's sword in Twilight Princess. :P

No Demi, The company is obviously on crack to mispronounce their product, making it easier for the american consumers to say aloud.This is an outrage. :roll:
