I couldn't figure out the move learning stuff during the short time I played, so ChiChi doing any of the special moves or the Kamehameha.

For a character to be able to learn an inherited move, said character has to level up until the end of it's tech tree. Once you finish the tech tree you have to level up one more level in order to learn a move. You can only teach moves from characters that you have finished the tech tree with.
Alternatively, you can wish an inherited move to Shen Long. This is also the only way to get Yamcha's Rogafufuken and Nappa's Bakuhatsuha.

Apart from those two, the only others I find interesting are Goku's Kamehameha, Kuririn's Kienzan, Freeza's Flex Laser, Chichi's Power Slugger and Buu's "Hurricane Dash", whatever the original name of that is.

Again, interesting does not mean useful in game play. Usefulness will depend on character versus move and what moves said character already as. There is no point in teaching Kamehameha to Vegeta when he already has Galick Gun, which is the same type of attack.

For Chichi, yeah, I would believe Kamehameha to be the most fun move she can learn. I will have to level up once and then select it as an inherited move, so I'll do that sometime today.

Here you go buddy:

Chichi performing the Kamehameha

Good thing I was thinking of doing that already.

I'm probably not going to get that many requests but if I do, please be reasonable on what you are requesting. I've done Chichi because it is fun imagining Goku teaching her the Kamehameha. I'm doing one per character because I don't feel like levelling up all over again and inherit another skill. I might, but don't count on it.

Hurricane Dash is going to Mecha Freeza and Cell. Since it's explosion based I think it fits Mecha Freeza and Iced told me it looks hilarious on Cell.
Vegeta has got Bakuhatsuha and Goku has got Rogafufuken. I can show you but I can't completely pull Rogafufuken yet.

To anyone still interested, here's a playlist. Mecha Freeza is all done, Chichi is all done too but not uploaded yet. I'll update it with more moves eventually.

That Mecha-Freeza is so bad-ass... 8)

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.

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.

Awww thanks guy :3

Yeah... I know about Super Butouden 2's story, and then if you're really nice you'll get to fight Broli too. I might give it a try but I have to polish my French first and hope that the French version is accurate enough.
It seems Ultimate Butouden has some badass alternate stories. One of them features Yamcha where Goku would be, or so I've been told, sounds hilarious though. But you know, moonspeak, yadda yadda.

Anyway, don't forget to check my gallery guys! It's not just for palette swaps, check Ultimate Butouden, it has some nice surprises.

And keep your eyes peeled, my Youtube channel was the first step, I'm thinking of moving all the snaps to PhotoBucket and all the content to a blog, opinions?
Edit: Scratch that, the blog has been created, the link is over there on my profile

The difference is that Yamcha dies against Raditz. And Vegeta. And Freeza. It really is hilarious, but... I can't moonspeak either. :cry:

Nice! Is there anything new in the blog-version of Attack of the Saiyans that wasn't in the forum-version?

Nothing major. Just some reworded things and a few more pics. Have a look for yourself.

I could do summaries of the Ultimate Butoden What-If? stories. I found them a little disappointing overall actually; the Yamcha one is probably the best of the bunch.

Oh, and in one of them Broli refere to Gogeta as "Vegerot". As in flat-out ベジロット/Bejirotto.

Welp, if something is mentioned offhand anywhere then it is canon.

Everyone start using Vegerot now.

I'd really love to see a summary of that Yamcha one. If only I knew about it when that fanvideo was posted of Yamcha taking Goku's place in the Saiyan arc, but played seriously.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Herms ol' buddy, 'ol pal, that would be extremely helpful :D thank you very much in advance. I did use your guide of Attack of the Saiyans for a second reference and to get the original names, so it wouldn't be a first :3

I guess it's more or less what the characters say, but with uncorrect grammar and invented names! :D
Anyway, if you have a problem with a text that you'd like to know about, I'll tell you what it is (both as the original "incorrect grammar" and as the sentence that was probably meant).
Lots of the text problems, apart from God-knows-why new names for the movie characters, are due to the very limited space for western fonts, so they had to shorten the sentences to the max, to the point of skipping words if needed, and in some cases it results in pretty weird sentences! :roll:

Anyway, If one day you explore it through the French version, I'll translate everything you need me to translate if it helps, no problem! 8)
