Spike already said that there will be NO what-if transformations in the game.......but i'm guessing that taking 1 character and keeping everything but the hair (or just giving it that transformation yourself) will probably be the easiest thing in that mode.

Seeing how we were told that around 30 characters got cut from RB2's roster, and that brings us down to around the total we had in RB1, don't expect Bojack, Coola, Tullece, 13, Nail, etc.

SS Bardock isn't really a what-if anymore though. He has his own manga special, which is advertised as a sequel to the TV special, not a What-if.

They probably just took the technique and gave it to Broli as an extra move, instead of tossing it out because SS3 Broli got the cut.

I thought they cut out all the useless henchmen? No matter, I'll make as many of the missing characters as I can.

I can't believe that they removed Hatchiyak again. Man he was JUST introduced to the games and already he's gone again. That sucks!

Imo SSJ3 Broly served absolutely no purpose at all. He was a failed selling point in RB1 and he wasnt tweaked at all in RB2, he was just...uh...there I guess. Anyways I'm glad he's gone.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

RB1 had 72 characters, RB2 had 100. They said they cut about 30 characters and that there will be no What-If transformations (though SS3 Broli and Vegeta seem to have been swapped out for Cell Jr. and Saibaiman), meaning we are back down to around what we had in RB1. I can pretty much guarantee that this will be our base roster though, of course, this does not include new characters they will have to add for GT and stuff like that:
  • Goku (Base, SS, SS2, SS3)
  • Vegeta (Prince)
  • Vegeta (Base, SS, SSg2, SS2)
  • Vegeta (Demon Prince)
  • Kid Gohan
  • Preteen Gohan (Base, SS, SS2)
  • Teen Gohan (Base, SS, SS2)
  • Future Trunks w/ Sword (Base, SS)
  • Future Trunks (Base, SS, SSg3)
  • Trunks (Base, SS)
  • Goten (Base, SS)
  • Piccolo
  • Kuririn
  • Tenshinhan
  • Yamcha
  • Chaozu
  • Videl
  • Vegetto (Base, SS)
  • Gotenks (Base, SS, SS3)
  • Gogeta (SS)
  • Saibaiman
  • Bardock
  • Raditz
  • Nappa
  • Dodoria
  • Zarbon (Base, Transformed)
  • Gurd
  • Reacoom
  • Jheese
  • Butta
  • Ginyu
  • Freeza (1st, 2nd, 3rd, Final, 100%)
  • Jinzoningen #16
  • Jinzoningen #17
  • Jinzoningen #18
  • Jinzoningen #19
  • Jinzoningen #20
  • Cell (Imperfect, Semiperfect, Perfect, Super Perfect)
  • Cell Jr.
  • Broli (Base, SS, "LSS")
  • Majin Buu (Good)
  • Majin Buu (Evil, Gotenks Absorbed, Gohan Absorbed)
  • Majin Buu (Pure)
These guys may possibly be included with the vagueness of the "around 30 were cut" statement. I'd give them any combination of 5 characters from the list, including the transformations as a separate character, to still be "around 30". Two of the slots are pretty much spoken for already:
  • Teen Gohan (Ultimate) - Very likely, Gohan Buu needs to absorb him, and fans were pissed that he wasn't included int he first game when they used Goku's model.
  • Janemba (Transformed) - Very likely, we have a boss battle against his fat form...
  • Future Gohan (Base, Super Saiyan)
  • Mecha Frieza
  • Dabra
  • Tullece
  • Coola (Base, Transformed)
  • Mecha Coola
  • Hatchiyack

Why not Hatchiyak? Where did you heard that? And no SSJ Broli and Vegeta? Too bad :( Maybe they mean no NEW What-If, at least I hope so. And at least they shoud put SSJ Bardock, I realy REALY want him, the new special made me aBardock fan for some reason. :mrgreen:

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I'm glad that SSj3 Broly is gone. I would like him as a SSj3 if the long green hair did not look so silly looking, he would have been better off as a normal SSj3.

Just noticed. Note at 1:27, we have Super Saiyans! :mrgreen: Then again, someone could say that he is costumized to look like a Super Saiyan, but why the EXACT SAME CHARACTER in the EXACT SAME STAGE versus the EXACT SAME ENEMY? :wink:
Also,wouldn't we be able to create our own What-Is SSJ forms normal characters? For example, Raditz, you create a character copy of Raditz, same face, same hairstyle, same moves, same techniques, same voice, same clothes, turn into a SSJ and there you have it: SSJ Raditz! Of course with the hope that there will be the needed parts of the character of your choice(Raditz in my example).

I know. :lol:

Its just that its too Goku centric. I know he is the star of the franchise but he didn't get where he was alone. At least put some pre-made CC characters on it or something, anything but just Goku and Shenron.

I'd prefer if we had a cover like BT3's.

This cover is just... really boring.

At least a cover with characters that are rarely on covers. Ok yeah Goku can sure be on it be make the pose cool (watch out opinion) and not so boring. I loved Budokai 3's cover with SSJ4 Goku or Budokai 2's Japanese cover looked tight. The characters there had a sharp look in their eyes and I liked that.
