DragonBall: Raging Blast (PS3/360)

Cold Skin · Post by **Cold Skin** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 6:13 pm

You guys shouldn't worry about your personnal fantasies not being shown this time, they probably will.

Just like these, popular fandom imagination or question we've all wondered (what if Boo had absorbed someone else, what if Cell had absorbed someone else, what if Yamcha and Ten Shin Han had fused, what if Raditz and else turned into giant apes...) will probably be the inspiration of several new what-if characters in sequels/DLCs.

And don't worry about seeing a Super Saiyan 5: I don't think they'll ever do that, because it's not based on anything existing, they wouldn't invent a transformation from scratch or from fans' crazy imagination, it would lead to a mess and be obviously going too far (if they did, then why not Super Saiyan 6, 7, 8, 9...).
I think they're mostly making a "transfer" for transformations that were meant for another character, like "what if A had gone through the same transformation than B?": they did it with the giant apes, with the fusios, now they do it with the Super Saiyan 3...

Next stop Super Saiyan 4 for Gohan, Trunks and Goten? Hum, not sure, since it is often said that only pure-blooded Saiyan can go there, so it would be a risk to offend fans with something that is widely said as being impossible...

Super Saiyan Raditz, Tullece and Nappa are more likely (they wouldn't have to worry much about Nappa's hair at least...

).

And having a separate character for what-if transformations could be the right way not to offend fans: I think most of them want to play with the characters they know from the manga and TV shows, meaning the original Vegeta who never went Super Saiyan 3. If they played with the regular Vegeta and he could become a Super Saiyan 3, they might not feel like they're playing the REAL Vegeta. That's my guess anyway...

I'd say more hulk than doomsday.

I wasn't planning on getting this... but after seeing that SSJ3 Vegeta, I'm sold.

It's nice to see a character that deserves more time to shine finally get something incredibly badass.

I will admit, though, it's weird seeing Vegeta without eyebrows.

Broly was more likely crazy because of all the other nutty sh*t that happened to him. Y'know, getting STABBED THROUGH THE TORSO as a baby, living a nomadic life, and having more constantly overflowing power than he really knows what to do with... I'm sure those things will all wear on a person's psyche.

If anything, Goku was just a trigger; something that stirred up those memories, brought Broly out of his tech-induced "happy place," and set him on a rampage.

SSJmole:
Hulk has redeeming qualities, he's not really an evil character. Broly destroys everything because it's fun.

Innagadadavida:
Yamhan has silly hair, just thought I would say that here, he has cool attacks, but the silliest hair ever.

SSj Kaboom:
His dad was also a crazy vengative manipulating old fuck, guess that also helps.

I like the new SS3 transformations, I still would like to see a proper SS2 Future Trunks though.

No the fact that he was a Super Saiyan and that King Vegeta was jealous to the point of banishing Broly and his father from plant Vegeta in an attempt to kill them off. So now you have Paragus Using Broly to get back at Vegeta for what he did to his family.

I'd say more hulk than doomsday.

It's more like Doomsday were his whole purpose was to beat the living shit out of Goku and friends within an inch of their lives.

Yeah, the story around Broli has a lot of potential. It's just wasted because Broli himself is totally one dimensional.

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 6:37 pm

Y'know, I don't entirely blame King Vegeta for that. Part of it may have been jealousy, or fear of having his throne usurped. But at that point, I think he may have been extra wary of Freeza. Freeza destroyed the planet anyway, but if not he would likely have done so if he'd known the Super Saiyan had actually been born. In "rubbing out" Paragus and Broly, King Vegeta may have been trying to preserve and protect the Saiyan race from Freeza as much as his own skin.

But Doomsday purpose was to be a throw away plot point basicly so they had an excuse to kill superman.

Broly however was created for a film and designed to keep getting stronger as he did. He basically created for the purpose of filling a movie. Which means as much as Broly sucks he had a purpose.

I personally see Broly in the first film as the Darth Maul of dragonball films. By that I mean he mean he hardly spoke, He looked cool and kicked ass till he "died"

Shame his second and 3rd made him a complete joke.

True but Broly wasn't all destroy he was gentle and quiet at first. It's just once his power is unleashed he's a big unstoppable monster like hulk. Plus look at him in his second film. It seems Broly is not all rampaging unless he sees goku. Then if he see's goku he freaks out like if hulk is angry.

I've wanted a Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta for a long-ass time. This news officially makes the game DAY ONE for me.

I'm getting anxious for more info. You'd think the scans would be out there by now. The one we have isn't even a full page.

Maybe there waiting for people to come out of shock from seeing SSJ3 Vegeta?

Nicely put Rocketman, you explained it the best way possible.

He was gentle and quiet because his dad have a control device on him. Broly was a rampaging psychopath even as a teenage non-LSS.

I wonder how the online battles are going to work out. I hope it is interseting because everything else about this game, except SSJ3 Broly and Vegeta, looks pretty much bland to me. Seems like just another Dragon Ball fighting game that I will be playing for a week to unlock everything and be done with it.

Give us something to really toy around with!

But then... a couple of days later... he tries to solo Freeza?

Yeah, I agree that he shouldn't have come back. Broly is a cool character, the first villain in Dragon Ball that actually seems untouchable and also the first villain to be just a complete psychopath, the only words going through his head must be "kill kill kill, destroy destroy destroy". So he was a great idea well exploited.

But then they overused him and spoiled it all in the two other films, losing everything that made him special. When he returns, he seems angry, not psychopath, he even plays with the kids instead of killing them right away and going Legendary immediately.

And they keep overusing him I think. He's a cool character, but ultimately just a movie villain, he shouldn't be featured on game covers anymore than the other movie villains, even if he's ever-growing power would have made him a threat to any other existing character in the future, in due time I guess, including Majin Boo, Super Saiyan 3, Vegetto and all. In due time I said, cause maybe by the Majin Boo Saga, he wouldn't have time to daily-power-up enough to be a match for the characters involved, maybe it could be like ten years, twenty years later or so. So his ability to grow more and more powerful simply through time would be a threat to any character one day or another... Maybe it is what they'll find for Super Saiyan 3 Broly's plot, what would have happened if they didn't meet him so early and his power grew enough to naturally transform him into Super Saiyan 3 when he goes full power. We'll see.
