But for some reason, in the game it seems to fit perfectly! I really, really like it in this capacity and I'm surprised.

SSJ4 Vegeta vs Nouva Shenron (Sounds levels are wonky)

Seripa vs Bardock (I think this is also his music, great fight either way)

*BTW, no his music is not included in the game. This guy put it into the video himself.

Wow, the music does fit, for once, maybe American Music might not be so bad. Still I would want to hear some classic DB.

Wow, I am so going to make that into a Quasi-Super Saiyan. Think of the stories you could make, Yamcha getting Kaio-Ken, Bardock and King Vegeta in Giji!

And for the release date, when does it come out in USA for the PS2, I might be in Singapore but we mostly import games from USA, there is even the NTSC-U/C logo.

In a little over a month on the 13th of November.

Listen for the way he says 'Kamehameha' and how his voice sorta goes into a high pitched sound from time to time. It sounds so odd to me.

What happened to Cell's "throaty" Kamehameha that used to sound so awesome!?

And I hope the PS2 version is just as good as the Wii version sounds.
Remember back then when I brought up a METEOR clip of Cell saying "CHIKKUSHO!"? After watching the end credits, Cell is indeed voiced by Norio Wakamoto in the game. So...what happened? Lack of pay, or just bad direction? I was actually nerdy enough to listen to the Podcast episode which analyzes Wakamoto's voice work just for comparison's sake. And of course, we need his throatiness! It's not like he's out of practice. That Kamehameha was indeed awful, to say the least.

I think stuff like that is usually due to bad voice direction. Seriously, I'm sure Wakamoto would have done a top notch job if someone pointed out what he was doing wrong and offered some (voice) direction. Instead it seems like someone just said "screw it, that's good enough."

That being said, the same could be said about some "Ha!"s in Sparking 1 and 2 that should have been "HAAAAAAAAA!!!"s.

This reminds me of some of the voice work in the US Budokai1... "Warg! I'm gonna win!". Though it would seem odd to me that talented voice actors would just come in and read the lines and leave when they've done them better before... I wonder if it was just one of those 15-minute deals?

Yeah, the Wii review makes me want a Wii. T.T. *hoping the ps2 version is as improved* though it'll probably be annoying until I get used to the new controls... Heh.

Was Dr. Wheelo on there?

The Pilaf Machine’s profile refers to Pilaf as a “brilliant scientist”. That’s certainly news to me…I wonder if he and Bardock went to the same university.

Also of interest are “Baby Vageta” and the “Pilaf Robo Union” (historians might remember them for the instrumental role they played in the robot labor strikes of 1924).

Wow, that was really funny.

No sarcasm. Pilaf, a brilliant scientist...

Whatchu talkin' bout, Willis?

Did he build them, or did he buy them? Gasp, maybe he paid Dr. Gero to build them!

Is Great Ape a transformation just for Young Goku, or does Young Gohan have it too?

Cold Cobra · Post by **Cold Cobra** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 1:32 pm

I believe I recall Pilaf saying something like "Do you not have faith in these brilliant Pilaf Machines I built?" during the show (Japanese version, for the record.)

DNA · Post by **DNA** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 1:40 pm

Well, if he did create everything we see him use, he has mechas, a giant "death star" like battleship, a castle full of traps and contraptions, a helicraft and later some new mechas with spring like arms, all that I can remember, I think that qualifies has a genious =P

But something has to be up. Wakamoto-san has been doing Cell's voice for the past 5 years for video games, not to mention all of those episodes. He should be able to retain the voice that he has been not only for the anime, but at least for the past five video games. Everyone else, while not exactly being 100% as good as they have been in the past, have been able to perform their characters well. I'm not trying to put him down or anything, just that it's not what we're used to.

EDIT: He sounds a bit better here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gn4TqmEtFvA&NR=1

He still seems to be like..slurring his speech a little or something.

Am I the only person that thinks the music sounds 16 bit. It just reminds me of Sonic 2 sometimes.

Maybe he's drunk.
