That's frickin' gay/lazy/incredibly gay.
What? That's how they look. Nail looks exactly like Piccolo, or close enough you'd not be able to tell them apart if the had the same clothes on. And the only difference besides the gotee between the Vegeta's is that the elder Vegeta has slightly darker skin and is slightly taller. It's the same as with King Cold. He's just an even bigger version of Form Two Freeza.

I think he meant that it takes no real effort to make these characters since the models are more or less ready. And I agree, to a point.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't have these characters on a DBZ game, but I AM saying that if half of the new characters are characters like those, Spike IS lazy on the character model creation department.

Not like there was going to be any doubt about it, but it's official now I suppose.

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 announced

Dark, insidious imagery? Explosive Special Effects? Loud guitar music? I thought this was supposed to be the "real" DbZ...

Anyhoo, some more impressions...

King Vegeta and King Cold are what I'm particularly excited about. I'm expecting King Vegginator to have Oozaru, but I wonder if Cold will have transformations...?

Nail as his own character sounds cool, but he'll probably end up being and playing like a Piccolo clone. They'd have to give him some interesting new moves or something to make it worth it.

...And what the hell... you guys are just joking about the whole "adding every henchman" kinda stuff, right? I hope so, because there's so many good, major characters from early DB and GT that they still can (and should) add. I wanna see...

DragonBall
General Blue
Android 8
Boss Rabbit (Why not?)
Tsurusennin
Mutaito
Kami (with his "Shen" alter-ego)

DbZ
Neko Majin Z
Kuriza
PuiPui
Yakon
Saichoro
Hatchiyak
"Ozotto the Super Monster"
Bido
Base Gogeta (Why the hell hasn't this happened yet? Ever?)

GT
Kid Goku (with SSj -> SSj4, but allow SSj4 as transformation for adult Goku, as well)
Adult Goten
Adult Trunks
Adult Gotenks
Ledgic
Sigma Force (Combined Form)
General Rildo
Babi (Without Vegeta)
Nova Shenlong
Eis Shenlong
(Already have Omega, and the rest are crappy)

... and God forbid we get some original characters or something, too.

As I've said before, I'll laugh to death if they give him a Freeza/Cooler-like "4th Form". They've already given him Trunk's swords, so it's not like they're going for a take faithful to the series, especially considering how he never really fought.

We're getting 15+ characters, your list has 24... And Akkuman >>> Boss Rabbit any day.

The only problem I see with this game is that 15+ is really low to really fill the Dragon Ball and GT gaps...

We already know about King Vegeta, Kold and Nail. King Vegeta Oozoaru probably will be in too, so that leaves only 11+.

Even assuming 12 characters, there are just too many spots missing to include everyone that matters (outside of Dragon Ball Z main series)...

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Mon May 21, 2007 3:57 pm

My list was just the ones I could remember that I think should be added.

Sweet, I was right. In the official press release, they already confirm it'll include over 20+ new characters.

EDIT: Just in case they haven't been posted, here are some hi-rez screens.

And I was just saying that there's no way they'll include everyone who should be added, and they will add people who shouldn't be (or at least, no one expects to be) in. I mean... King Vegeta? He's an interesting background character, but not even the anime really shows him fighting.

Besides, one of the problems of the GT characters is that every Saiyajin counts as two characters, due to the SSJ forms... : /

Kid Goku GT by himself would take at least three slots (if they ignore SSJ2, like GT did).

Sweet, I was right. In the official press release, they already confirm it'll include over 20+ new characters.

They might be including the 6 new ones from the European/Japanese Wii version in that number though. Isn't that just the American press release?

The fact that they follow up all that kanji with an english-written "Coming Soon" is hilarious.

But that's what would make it awesome.

Well about Boss Rabbit. It wouldn't have to be an instant win. They could have his attack be that he turns the opponent into a carrot, throws his enemy around a bit, then turns the person back and the fight continues.

Wouldn't it be neat to have a story mode with free-roaming RPG elements. You can fly around the world(not like before) and you could walk on the ground as well, and if you find your way to West City, you could go to the Bulma's house and hop on a space ship to Namek or some other planet.

That's always how I've imagined the perfect DBZ game would be. Being able to play as any of the main characters, having the ability to fly anywhere and do pretty much anything, being able to destroy cities if you wanted. Maybe they could put in a good/bad meter. The more you destroy the more people perceive you as a villain but the more you protect the city from danger, the better the people love you. That would be awesome!

Then again, Tapion has zero attacks. But that doesn't limit SPIKE, as we saw in NEO/BT2.

The only feature that I'm looking for in this installment is Create a Character. It would also be nice to get a PS3 release of the game. That way you can download new characters and other's created characters.

There's two pictures at the Atari Forums that you can check out.

I realized that right after I posted them. I was hoping no one would catch my goof.

You're a fast one, aren't you Tyro?
