He's not a henchmen, all three Jinzoningen in the movie are part of a team, just because he isn't the focus of the movie doesn't mean he isn't a main character. He accomplished more than Dodoria, Chaozu, Ghurd, etc. IMO, he's more than a valid character. His personality is severely lacking, but the game is about fighting, not personality.

Just curious, who do you suggest as a replacement? I don't want to hear Ultimate Gohan either, because I'm still under the blind and hopeful assumption that he's already in, rather he is announced or not.

He shows up with #15 to set up the plot and then is killed so that the main villain could absorb him.

Dodoria, perhaps, but no for Chaozu and Ghurd. They were in actual fights(even if it was just one) and have unique abilities that make them interesting to play. #14 is just...I don't know...a strong guy.
His personality is severely lacking, but the game is about fighting, not personality.
It does affect excitement over him and the number of people that will play him more than twice.

I never said he shouldn't be playable in the game just that him being playable (FOR THE FIRST TIME) is not exciting in the least.

I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing at Tao. All worthless suggestions IMO. DBZ henchmen never capture my attention, they are practically always just fodder for Goku to waste 10 minutes on to drag out the movie.

My biggest gripe, is that when they use henchmen, they leave the team incomplete. Example, it'd seem asinine to add Garlic Junior's forms, and then give him Nikki and Ginger, but exclude Sansho. I was already kinda upset that they included Zangya over other options, but since she's a chick, and strong ones are rare in DBZ, so I didn't complain too much.
Makaioshin wrote:He shows up with #15 to set up the plot and then is killed so that the main villain could absorb him.
Same can be said about anyone who isn't the main villain of a movie or saga. Nappa was only there to prove how strong Goku and Vegeta were. Ginyu Force was just there to prove how strong Goku was after training. 17 and 18 were just there to power up Cell. Etc. At least 14 and 15 were main characters on par with base 13 until their deaths.
Makaioshin wrote:Dodoria, perhaps, but no for Chaozu and Ghurd. They were in actual fights(even if it was just one) and have unique abilities that make them interesting to play. #14 is just...I don't know...a strong guy.
Chaozu did nothing, we learned he can't count and is useless when he self-destructs. Other than than he's only good for saying "Ten-san". Ghurd spent 20 minutes running away before getting his head lobbed off or beamed off depending on your media. In the end, they accomplished nothing of importance, so they're on par with characters like 14 IMO, meaning he's just as worthy as them.
Makaioshin wrote:It does effect excitement over him and the number of people that will play him more than twice.
I personally find him interesting and I love playing as Jinzoningen characters. We have no idea how he'll be done in game, probably mediocre, but it's no worse than how half assed even some of the major characters are, Teen Gohan (Buu) is pathetic.
Makaioshin wrote:I never said he shouldn't be playable in the game just that him being playable (FOR THE FIRST TIME) is not exciting in the least.
Then I dunno what to tell you, because if him being playable for the first time isn't exciting for you, then it never will be. So the beginning of your sentence seems a bit pointless, to me atleast.

You're laughing at Tao? Tao Pai Pai is definitely one of my favorite Dragon Ball villains/characters and I loved playing with him on the Sparking! series. However, adding him in Raging Blast 2 is very unlikely...

There's no DB characters in the game, he would be by far the weakest character and the only one that couldn't fly. ...He could maybe own Videl since he is all cyborgy now.

I'm laughing at Tao being included in a game based solely on DBZ, and the only thing he did in that portion of the series was con people and give Goku puzzle rings. It would be pathetic to include him in the game. If DB characters were being added in like in the Tenkaichi/Sparking games, fine, but they aren't.

Though I fully support the whole DB=traditional fighters and Z/GT=Spike's simulators, so I don't really want DB characters back in the RB series anyway.

Of course no gt or Db characters were added, they need a selling point for Raging Blast 3 anyway. I guess the other 4 will be characters from movies. Hmm, Bio-Broly any one? Perhaps another of Bojack team? Cooler's Armored Squadron? Bardock's Teammates? I'll laugh is Paragus is one of the characters.

Oh, I misunderstood you completely. Sorry about that. Yes, I remember that episode. The whole thing was just ridiculous, and now that you mention it, it's kind of funny Tao appearing in a DB game only related to the "Z" series... Speaking of that, hasn«t anyone noticed that they only call this game Dragon Ball instead of Dragon Ball Z? It's kind of weird that the Sparking! series had characters from the 3 series and had "Z" in its name and Raging Blast, which is (so far) only related to "Z" doesn't have the "Z" after Dragon Ball...

Sweet, I hope Android 15 is in this as well. Be awesome if the cutscene before the fight, where the 2 fighters talk to each other, he sipped on his personal bottle. I always thought that was just so cool.

Well at the end of the day, Z and Gt are both Dragon Ball as well. The whole series as a whole is called Dragonball with 3 different periods in the series(Original, Z and GT).

I WISH they had cool cut scenes like that. I'd love to see them attack the building on the way to find Goku and chopping the cop car in half, but they'd never add that.

Infiinite World had some of the best ones ever.

Hooray for new screenshots! :3
Goku and Trunks look good; but they picked an awkward angle for Vegeta.

The more I look at that shot of Gokû...the more I feel I haven't seen that facial expression in forever. It's an odd feeling, but it's like an old favorite has returned. It's been forever since a truly nailbiting situation...and that shot captures that old feeling perfectly.

I always thought it was cool when 14 stops Trunks' sword attack and in the Dub he says "Little boys shouldnt play with knives."

That would be awesome if that was his line at the beginning of a battle with Trunks w/ sword.

Super 13's grab should now be the crotch punch. [that knocked SS Goku to his base form.]

I don't like that Gokū shot. The lines are too squiggly, IMO.

I laugh because you certainly can't realize that this squiggly lines should illustrate that it's hot where Goku is standing due to the fire behind him.

Yeah, I get you, but it still looks weird to me.
