I think that art for the CD cover looks fine. Not great, or bad, just fine. Nothing special.

Do you guys think they will show Vegeta becoming a SSJG, Goku and Vegeta becoming SSGSS for the first time and Freeza's ultimate training?

I have a feeling that Vegeta's ritual would be done off screen for some reason. However, I have a strong feeling that we will see freeza's training or atleast we would get to know how he got so strong. I am iffy about ssjgssj for the first time thing.

Well, I really don't mind about they showing Vegeta becoming a GOD, but I do mind see SSGSS achievement and Freeza training... I think TOEI will do it! :thumbup:

So many good ideas to show how was Freeza's training, if was something really harsh or not, maybe in another planet or system... They can even set Champa to have to do something with Freeza

It will be better to show Vegeta ascending to Super Saiyan God rather than him popping up all suddenly in Dragon Ball Heroes.

They better do it! BoG hadn't many chances for changes, but you can't skip important stuff like that. In FnF the excuse was the length of a movie, here you can't do that. I hope Freeza dopes or use his vast knowledge of the Universe. He did know about SSJG, he must have some ancient books laying around.

Incase they want to preserve the Vegeta going SSGSS surprise they could explore him going SSG and SSGSS (for the first time) through flashbacks like when he transformed into Super Saiyan for the first time.

That's what I was thinking about Vegeta. We will probably get to see his evolution through flashbacks.

How is that "important stuff"? We know what Vegeta becoming Super Saiyan God looked like -- the same way it did for Goku. Having him show up in that form tells us all we need to know. The manga did the same thing after Super Saiyan first shows up too, Gohan at the Cell Games notwithstanding. Vegeta shows up as a Super Saiyan in the android arc, Gohan exits the Room of Spirit and Time as a Super Saiyan, Goku shows off Super Saiyan 2 and 3 in the Boo arc after obtaining them during the timeskip, etc. It's not important to actually see these transformations, as its ground well-covered.

Freeza's training, on the other hand, I hope is explored, but more so because it could be genuinely interesting and can help iron out what otherwise seems like a large leap for the series. Not necessary, but it could be cool and amusing.

Still, this is a mostly-Toei-driven (as opposed to Toriyama) production for the first two arcs, and we've seen they're not averse to padding in this series, so it's not impossible they'll put that in. (Just like in the anime they added in scenes of Vegeta and Gohan first achieving SSJ.)

I wasn't clear; I was thinking in terms of explaining how the forms were achieved, mainly Bluper Saiyan. I certainly don't want another 15 minutes Vegeta SSJG transformation that just fills the time. Bluper, needs to be explained if they go the route of the movie and Goku transforms in regular SSJ.

So far, one of the things that Super missed was not explain why Pilaf Gang are kids again. I don't care about them, but that doesn't mean I don't want things right. And that deserves a explanation like in BOG. Maybe in BOG last episodes or in ROF beginning.

Pilaf most likely wish to be younger sometime after Buu and before BOG. It can explain why Shenron only ask for one wish instead of two wishes. Pilaf most likely made a wish to be younger and someone must have step in to tell Shenron to come back later.

I think there's a high chance they'll show Vegeta going ssjg especially since it'll give them an excuse to have him and Goku fight,nothing serious just a little sparing match.

In terms of ssjgssj,I think it'll be saved as a surprise to show off when they fight Freeza but in terms of his training I thin we'll see some part of it.

That could be very easy to do, if they focus on Goku during the BoG - RoF transition, leaving Vegeta's progress in the background as a surprise. And i have a feeling that's what they'll do..
I'm not sure whether the series will ever show him as a SSG, though.

-About SG Goku vs Beerus fight-
I really hope the entire fight don't take place over the ocean before they move for earth's atmosphere, as we see in the preview.
One of the reasons their fight in BOG was awesome its because they ran wild. They fought in the city, mountain, underwater cave, sky and earth atmosphere. It was just beautiful.

Ehh, I'm gonna be honest, I'm kind of hoping they avoid that because the CG during that part of the fight was really bad

Doesn't mean it will be the same in Super.

There probably won't be any CG in any part of Super for one thing.
