Hey, wait a sec, the Pilaf robot?!

C'mon... is that the best they could do? Couldn't they have put in something more worthwhike than that?

Oh, look, the Pilaf robot. How cool. >.>;

The game does need more DB characters. Pilaf is an important character in the DB series. It seems that there are two forms of the Pilaf Machine, which equals two characters. 4 revealed, 2 to go.

The Pilaf robot? That's awesome! XD Wonder if they can seperate.

I have to admit, of all the possible characters they could've added, even from DragonBall alone, I would never have guessed the Pilaf mech suit. Seriously, what is Spike on?

Interesting choice of additional characters. o_O

As you can see, I clearly used dub names, mainly because that's how characters such as Kuririn, Piccolo Daimao, and Tao Pai Pai are represented in the video games released in North American, so that's how I spelled them for this example.

*speechless*

The....Pilaf....Robot?

Does anyone have any idea what Spike is telling us? They have time to make new models! I mean, the henchmen were technically IN the game, so it shouldn't have been to hard to create them as a character, right? All right you bastards, give us 6 shitty, "technically already in the game" characters. I can live with that. But you repay us with the next Sparking game.

Well, now the unicorning Pilaf Robot is in the game. With the amout of time they used to make that model, they could have made a quick Piccolo Daimao model. Hell, they could have just replaced the eyes and some coloes on the original Piccolo for all I care! But we get this garbage...wow...just wow.

If I don't see some GT Kid Goku, GT Goten and Piccolo Daimao action in some scans VERY soon, I'm gonna piss a cactus.

Go Pilaf robot, oh yeah, oh yeah! And Conan, I love your story stuff, if they really add Piccolo Daimao and Commander Black and the DB saga, I am so buying PS2's greatest hits.

CoolerEX · Post by **CoolerEX** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 3:36 pm

Yes I too will pay 70$ to play as Appule. Maybe even Orin will be added? The Pilaf robot looks interesting too, but for Godsake, why won't they put in King Cold!?

Sasuke_Chidori · Post by **Sasuke_Chidori** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 4:51 pm

I would pay $100 dollars to see Kid Goku(GT), or Goten(GT).

I want them so bad. Goten has never been playable in his GT form. I haven't played as Kid Goku from GT since Final Bout. Come on Spike...it's like they have an immense hate for all of the GT charecters.

SuperFusion · Post by **SuperFusion** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 5:09 pm

To the people that would pay $70+ just to play as one character, I only have one thing to say... WOW.

gohanku · Post by **gohanku** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 10:44 pm

Hey, Conan, I think after Tyranny of the Red Ribbon Army, if they should make a teen Goku, then it would fit, they will make it have the power to use the fist he used on King Piccolo and the 8-arm attack. With Shu's ninja suit as a alternative costume!

Pedro The Hutt · Post by **Pedro The Hutt** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:23 pm

Eh, the difference between kid Goku and "teen" Goku isn't that drastic. Especially considering Son Goku was already twelve to begin with when the series started.

Conan the SSJ wrote:I suppose it would be worth noting, we do see Toma's legs with yellow armor in one of the Bardock story cut-scenes, so maybe they had a design planned for him from the get-go as well.

Just to be an ass and correct you Conan I think it's safe to say the "dead Saiyan" in the Bardock cutscene is actually Nappa. They just don't reveal the rest of him. I do hope we get to see Toma and another of Bardock's crew (please let it be Seripa) in the next game. The pilaf robot is pretty cool... here's hoping we see more Dragonball characters in Sparking 3.

P.S. To be an ass again I gotta correct the man, Vegetto EX, that the blue horned soldier isin't the same guy that Freeza "impales" on Earth. This soldier appears at least twice. Once in the Bardock Special when Freeza appears out of his ship, he's one of the guys holding Bardock. Second, he attacks Bulma, Gohan and Kuririn's ship when they arrive on Namek along with another alien soldier armed with a blaster.

Henchmen who get's executed by Freeza for "deraliction of duty".

The guy on the right is our man in Sparking NEO.

Pilaf's Mecha-suit.

I am 100% speechless.

Just...

Wow..

I just got the American PS2 version yesterday and it looks like I got ripped off. The best characters aren't on there -_-

Theres lots of cool, "hardly in the series" characters that could be fun to have in the game.

Oh and I second the vote on The Farmer.
Also sucks that we in the US of A don't get the Neko Majin Z characters.

Goddamn, just go plead for a Dragonball game. Having non-flying, barely-ki-using characters in the same game as the Super Saiyans, Freeza, Cell, and Buu is just beyond retarded.

Man, I'd throw away every friggin' Oozaru just for the Pilaf-bot and Wheelo.

Yea, let me interupt you right there, Iam in one of my ranting moods....

No matter who they pick to be playable fighters in these games, some people are gonna be left out. I just think its really anoying when people complain that certain people arent in the game when theres well over 100 Fighters! You can't just be happy?

Ok, Iam gonna sound really old but... back in my day, we were lucky to get 10 fighters. 10 fucking fighters! I'd play those games over these Budokai games. Not to say these games today suck, but I love the classic fighting game set up. 2-d, one on one "Street Fighter" type. No effin capsules. No freakin crazy controlls.

With that said though, a shit load of time and effort does go into these newer game. They are beautifull and deeper then any 90's Dragonball game could ever be. Just apreciate what they give you. Its not that bad.
