That probably should have been Masked Bardock as per DBO (and totally what I thought was happening when the game came out in Japan and people were streaming that arc), but it's not exactly certain what's being kept from the original lore right now.

Weeeelll, I'm still betting that it was a different Bardock. Or maybe, Mira had added some time breaker curse for him to slowly turn into his Time Breaker form.

Well, things have changed from DBO because there wasn't any Demigra back then. So if it were DBO, Mira should have either appeared and saved him from Freeza's attack or he and Towa used some magic or something to zap him away the same as Demigra's wormhole did. Things obviously aren't happening the exact same way in Xenoverse, but I don't think there's any need for a "Time Breaker curse" to slowly enslave him or anything. Bardock was still alive at the end of the Secret Arc, so Mira (and Towa?) can just snatch and toss the mask on him later after Trunks "took care" of the mess left after that arc played out.

Especially possible if Trunks dropped him off to fight Chilled. =P

That's a great pity... I was so hyped for Dragon Ball in Xenoverse (Pilaf arc to the 23rd Budokai) as I knew they are borrowing from DBO.
Also, aside from the flying mechanics, the fights with sommersaults and techniques remind me a lot of the Dragon Ball, more than the later portions of Z.
I would definitely buy Xenoverse 2 with Dragon Ball stuff, tough I can see that I am in minority :(

Finally got past the Bardock teamup vs 15 PTOs. Anyone else stuck there, spam AoEs like Giant Storm or Vacation Delete, and have the Z-Soul "Why Yoooou!!!"

I used Ultra Fighting Bomber and my Z-Soul was "Heh, what dirty fireworks!" which really helped out a lot.

"Bwa Ha Ha! Got You!" helps you maintain SSJ(2) should you find yourself being swarmed by mobs like in the Bardock TMQ and second GT TMQ. Also helps sponge up a bit of damage as well, but yeah I actually never used an AOE and I managed to do just fine. Would definitely be a good idea for next time though. XD

Not just a minority, a really small one. Heck, not to sound like a dick, but you and some people here that like DB represent at least 3-6% of the fanbase, honestly.

Uh... how did you come to that conclusion? Did you conduct of survey of some sorts? Because there are many, many, many people that like Dragon Ball. Millions, worldwide.

I believe by "likes DB" he means "likes DB more than DBZ", which is a relatively rare animal among the English-speaking fandom. Hell, if it weren't for its perennial bad reputation, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more DBGT fans than DB fans.
To a strong man, the end justifies the means. To a stronger man, the means justify the end.

Really? Then.... why isn't there more DB and GT stuff than Z stuff? That's my only source...for now.

I got an S rank on that mission by spamming the hell out of the Ultra Fighting Bomber.

Any product that has "Dragon Ball" labelled on it, irregardless of the inclusion of "Z", would sell. Z just has more recognition than the original DB. But Dragon Ball still sell well on its own.

And that's the point I was trying to make. Face it, the original DB is the LEAST recognized in half of the countries.

That wasn't the point you was trying to make.

That was the point you tried to make. Which was was grossly inaccurate. There are tens of millions of people who like Dragon Ball just a much as DBZ. America doesn't represent the entire Dragon Ball fanbase.

Well, I take both series as a one. in Germany and France, Z would never be a thing, if they didn't air DB first, which got popular and I remember the German marketing of Z,
as a sequel that was worth waiting for.I think the thing in Japan and more inclusion of Z is, that before 2000, the Z was airing in TV, so it's logical they made Z games (where there was not much room left for rich contents like nowadays).
With Budokai, it was stated that the game is actually made in Japan for US market, thus ending the game with Cell and including little extra with Great Saiyaman before that part started airing. And Dragon Ball was never much popular in US to begin with. It is also normal in all franchises, that with changing series, you usually include the likes and mechanics of the most recent or last part of the series development, which is Z as well.

So it is not outright clear, that fans do not like Dragon Ball except for US.

Or someone will make a mod for Evil Bardock. Seriously the game has only been out for around a month. Give it some time.

There was someone here that already did it. It was pretty cool, but "mod" itself just mods the already-existing character. I really wanna a real Evil Bardock. :)
