Dragonball Z Sparking! Meteor

the source from JeuxFrance's forums seems dubious at best.

What a surprise :<

And another cannon fodder Oozaru, DNA, you might be right, I might be right, but let's just wait and see...

Huh? :x

31 - Vegeta (Mid)
32 - SSJ Vegeta (Mid)
33 - USSJ Vegeta (Mid)

Acording to the site, these are Vegeta (Early), Buu saga is probably (Mid) and Majin Vegeta is Vegeta (End) acording to the demo.

Lol, fakes:

That Paragus certainly looks very real to me. If it is a fake, I'd say it's the best one since Budokai 3's Golden Oozaru.

And Mr. Flute, Tapion, what of him? He does nothing in his screen time!

Paragus... I can see it now. Play as the legendary Super Saiyan! Including filler battles with his father! And King Vegeta? Yes. Paragus Vs King Vegeta and Broli. ... *sigh*.

Hmm, I get the feeling that story mode is going to be non-small. Not so sure yet if that is a good thing, but optamism doesn't hurt.

Unlike Paragus Tapion was the real center of Movie 13. The movie wasn't as much about Hildegarn as it was Tapion. Besides, they've got a kick ass looking sword wielding hero with him, did you really expect them to pass up a chance to include that?

That Paragas looks pretty real, but I'm suspicious about some of the outlines. The outside edge of the arm on the non-Oozaru looks obviously touched-up/edited to me. Look how sloppy it is.

Oh...and look at the cloth around his neck. It's blurred, like it's been edited. Look at this Nail render. Look at the cloth around his neck. Carefully observe the lines and shading; they're the same as on Paragus' cloth. It seems like this is where they took it from for Paragus. They just manipulated the shape and stuff.

And is there a reason there's a "The Wiire" label in the bottom right? Those pictures don't seem to be there on the site.

I'm gonna have to take this as fake.

I think, if they can create the rest from scratch, they can maange to create the collar from scratch as well. I took a closer look at them in a PSP7 Overlay and while there's imilarities, there's too much in the way of difference. I think they just used the Nail collar as a refrence, but yeah, fake.

Well, they come from the same guy that had the pics of Blue, Pirate Robot, Gokua and (even more) ugly Spopobitch. So I'll say they are fakes... Good fakes, but fakes nonetheless. Tambourine doesn't look real, look at his hands and shoes, they are all messed up.

Oh golly, look at the nick of the owner of the album, does that stand for Le Shark? I wonder :]

But damn, that Paragus is looking cool, plus if he was in we could have a Saiyan Backstory chapter, with Bardocks plot and King Vegeta's half-episode and Brolly's movie backstory :D

I think that Tambourine is cool and real but I may be wrong

Nobody insulted the French, we're just saying that JeuxFrance (the website, not the French) isn't exactly the most reliable source, if you know what I mean.

Having Paragus in the game will complete another fathers and sons set for tag play. Although, whenever you add a full blooded saiyan you use up to character slots instead of just one.

Besides folks from Bardocks crew what other saiyans are there to add?

The two ROSAT Saiya-jins that Tenshinan and Yamucha fought?

I think he was commenting on DNA's earlier post as well where he said the French are notorious for making rumors or something to that effect...and that last remark seemed to build on that. Anyway, that was settled a few pages back.

The Paragus one looked kinda fake and the color scheme for his outfit was pretty ugly...so I hope it's fake in this case.

Why do people keep saying that? One character = one character. Transformations do not take up any slots in the count for this game.

Wait... So you're saying that there's going to be 150 characters excluding transformations? That couldn't be.

DNA · Post by **DNA** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 4:33 pm

Transformations will count, they promised 20 *completly new* characters wihtout counting transformations, so that could mean that the various Goku's and Piccolo's won't count. Or maybe they will, I don't know anymore. I personally am hoping that I am right, wich would mean more new characters. Never tought of a playable Paragus, but now it seems fun.
So we have 8 completly new characters, right? That's good I think.

-_-

I mean with the new characters, obviously.

Yeah, they seriously muck up the waters. It's Goku, from Z, who we've already got, but now he's split, does one of them (two of them?) count as new... or do they still count as Goku and not toward the 20 new guys? Oi.

Excluding transformations and the new Goku's and Piccolo's the new (100% confirmed) stuff we have so far is:

1) GT Kid Goku
2) The Evil Dragon guy
3) King Vegeta
4) King Cold
5) Nail
6) Babidi
7) Spopovitch
8) Future Gohan

But, what is so special about early piccolo? can he transform to giant?
what makes he so different to late piccolo that he has to be a character?
don't get mad of my english

The same reason why there is time specific Goku and Vegetas etc. Cause these are the characters that had dramatic power and technique changes throughout the show.

Doing the Gekirestukodan (which was a late Cell arc technique) as an attack in story mode during the Saiyan and Freeza saga and such was just painful

I felt confined to Mankankosuppo. I could careless in VS mode etc. though but not Story mode. Cause were supposed to feel the growth of the character especially since Sparking is supposed to be the best upmost accurate DB game eva

Early Piccolo will cater to Saiyan-jin arc, Freeza arc and Mid Cell arc. Having the right attacks and such.

I wonder if Kuririn is gonna get his Saiyan/Freeza arc Gi? the one that looks exactly like Yamcha's without the blue vest and with the black shoes?

That saga lacked Tenshinhan. Henceforth, Android>Namek saga.

Also, they better make Tenshinhan not so damn boring in this next installment. It's kinda sucks when you DON'T want to pick your favorite character. Wimpy dodon-pa here, kiko-ho here, here's my ultimate! Oh no. Another kiko-ho! I'm dead this time though. Man, he has so many techniques, rushes and ki attacks that he should be split into a early Dragon Ball counterpart. Just off my head here...Dodon-pa, kamehameha, eye beam, kikoho, shin kikoho, and his 12-eyes technique which was his secret weapon for Goku at the 23rd tournament. It's when he splits into four copies then they go to all corners of the opponent and attack with big ki beams from the hands, making the opponent jump up to avoid the beams. Then all four of his copies blast the opponent with eye beams. Ahhh....He can grow two more arms and pummel people, has many attack combos that could be turned into rushes and can use the mafuba. Okay, screw the mafuba.
