One last time, folks:

This is a Raging Blast 2 thread. If you want to discuss cover art and such for other games, by all means create a new thread.

The use of the colour black and the extreme close-up on Gokū's fist, makes this easily the best cover in video game history.

American box art is suckage.

What made it so bad was that had to play the scenarios at least twice to unlock the stars. They're not even available the first time around.

I actually liked the original B3 American cover art :? It was simple...but still "In your face".




Anywhoo, any word on a demo for this yet?

Someone said something about a demo release last Thursday, even though that didnt happen we got the TAG vs demo (well the japanese PS store did). So who knows we might get a japanese demo for RB2 this coming Thursday.

Yeah, it's an annoying system. I got like 10 stars and gave up, absolute horrible.

Improved story mode please.

A Tenkiachi 2-ish story mode would be nice.

Amen. It was so tedious going back and replaying matches just to obtain stars. I also hope they keep that loading screen where you collect Zeni.

I kinda liked having to combine the potaras to unlock stuff. Or was it just characters?

That cover was the JP version they used on the re-release with the bonus characters.

Anyone besides me thinks that having one base Vegeta would be a good idea?

You'd sort of...but not really have to limit what moves went with what costumes, to keep him Saga-ly accurate.

Like Saiyan Saga Vegeta should have final flash...Although Buu Saga Vegeta could have the move used to kill Jeice.

Their fighting styles aren't the same. Go put a Scouter Vegeta against Buu Arc Vegeta in Sparking! METEOR. Have Buu Arc Vegeta transform into a Super Saiyan and then a Super Saiyan 2 to see exactly how their movements differ.

I prefer a split character setup in addition to more diverse movesets. Then again, I just want Sparking! 4, not Raging Blast's watered down system of doing things.
Super Saiyan Blue is not a creative color.
DBZ Movie 3 told a stronger and more believable "Evil Goku" story in 60 minutes than Dragon Ball Super has in 20 episodes. And it did it with better visuals and score.

Vegeta didn't fight that much in base during the the Android and Buu sagas though. I think it's best to go ahead and have one base. Imagine SSJ2 or SSJ3 Vegeta in his Saiyan saga outfit!

I was in a 'team battle' debate somewhere else, and I wanted to get a fresh look on it from other people; but how woud you like team battles to look like this?: [aside from all the health bars on the screen at once...]

With all of the battles from PTETSS in the game now, I could see this working out.

Cell Arc Gohan didn't fight at all in base. Imagine SS2 Gohan in the Saiyan saga outfit!

Oh wait.
Super Saiyan Blue is not a creative color.

It was also the cover that was used with the original release without any bonus characters. :)
