From 2010 to 2016, Dragon Ball Heroes was just this simple game doing plain and pure what-if content, without being tied to a story or anything. Take this Vegeta case for example, nothing is going on there, it's merely Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta arriving on Heroes. For that promotional trailer, they created that situation that is not meant to be taken any more than what it really is, a promotional trailer to announce said character is coming (and even today that's still the sole purpose of the trailers. They're nothing more than to annouce the content coming).S3 Hendrix wrote: Sat Jan 25, 2020 8:35 pmAre you really trying to argue DBH didn’t have a story before SDBH? I’ll admit the story in DBH isn’t as fleshed out(atleast the pre-god mission stuff but god mission 3 and onward has the same type of dialogue cutscenes that SDBH has) as SDBH’s story but they’re still stories canon to the arcade lore.
The 5th AV guide book disagrees(same with the arcade game). The 5th AV guide completely breaks down each story and the one for JM4 is a budokai where all the characters from the dragon ball franchise gather, but once bulma is injured by a stray blast that hits the audience Vegeta explodes with anger and transforms into ssj4, then violently rushes into battle with 3 star dragon. https://imgur.com/gallery/I5FUrhI

Also don’t forget the world tournament announcer is present in the actual arcade game for this set and announces each mission when you click on them, and it actually progresses like a story to the point when ssj4 Vegeta finally appears the tournament announcer is super hyped https://youtu.be/xed-nKJrHQI (this video is JM4 god boss vs Vegeta ssj4, with the tournament announcer before the mission)
