I forgot where I saw it, most likely here, but one of the developers said that even though they may have given an exact number of characters to be in the game if they have time they would include more. So, until the game actually ships there's still may be a chance for your desired characters that haven't been announced to show up.

Has there been any word on create a character mode? Or how about the character leveling? If we're gonna have three or four of versions of certain characters it's gonna be a pain to level them all up.

Another plus to having Dr. Wheelo: We'll get more voice work from his excellent FUNimation VA, R. Bruce Elliott. He has such a great voice in their re-release of World's Strongest, it's up there with Dameon Clarke's Cell as one of the best.

Well, I'm glad Chichi's a definite~ I just didn't want to get my hopes up.

Though, I do want to point out that shoujo could possibly be referring to her 23rd Budoukai state, too. It's frequently used for teenage girls or school age girls, all of which would include her age then of 18. The official age of adulthood in Japan is 20, after all.

However, having said all that, I still think it's a lot more likely it will be the 12 year old version. Especially since 12 year old Gokuu is referred to as shounen. I just wanted to mention the possibility, albeit a rather small one.

Oh, and another interesting thing is that the Japanese Wiki page for Meteor says she'll be voiced by SHOU Mayumi -- the original voice of Chichi! Apparently she was Chichi in DBZ1, also, so it wouldn't be the first time since 1990, but it would still be really cool. There's no source, though (I didn't see anything about it in that Jump blurb), and WATANABE Naoko has done her voice in all the other PS2 games since then, so it could be wrong. Still, hope!

Well, GT Kid Goku actually needs an independant character because he kind of shrinks between Z and GT, no? Vegeta can just be an alternate skin. And Goten could be End of Z+GT in one character. As for Trunks, they'll probably get lazy and just use Future Trunks again.

Yeah. They did say there would be other 'fan requested' additions if they had the time after completeing the 'story nessacary' characters. I just wasn't getting my hopes up for it to actually happen cause, you know, how often are video games actually ahead of schedule?

Has there been any word on create a character mode? Or how about the character leveling? If we're gonna have three or four of versions of certain characters it's gonna be a pain to level them all up.

From the interview with a Namco Bandai rep (NB) and Donny Clay (DC) posted on the Atari boards:

Atari Boards wrote:Q:Have you made any changes to the leveling system?

NB: Each character will be leveled up by obtaining Z items. But the use of Z item will be more tactical than previous version. Each item works in good way and bad way. They are relative to each character’s ability. Please think and tell me how to use Z-items in this game! You might be better than Producer Donny Clay!

DC: There aren’t many modifications to the actual leveling system per se but as [our Namco Bandai representative] stated there will be new and improved Z items which will help power up your character immensely if you use them correctly. Level up and equip your character correctly and you might have a shot at beating me. BRING IT!

Very nice scan, thanks for the pics!

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but I just noticed Grandpa Gohan's House there! That's awesome, I missed that stage after B3.

Hm, now that we can see closer, I really like Dr. Wheelo's character model. Looks pretty spot-on. Tambourine does too, and appropriately "cartoony" per Dragonball style.

So, can anyone accuratly translate to see any new relevant information?

EvilGamerX · Post by **EvilGamerX** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 9:04 pm

Nah, that would be being too kind and too convenient.

ChiChi image!
And look who she's fighting!

Thanos6 · Post by **Thanos6** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 9:58 pm

*squints*

Is that Desert Bandit Yamcha?

Wonder if that's just a costume or an actual separate character...

Sure looks like it to me.

Actually now that I think of it, young Chi Chi will be better than older Chi Chi. She's got the big axe on her head, plus the laser beam.
Adult ChiChi would have just played like Videl with a bunch of rush moves.

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:06 pm

Oh snippity snap, Bandit Yamcha.

Man, this game is fullfilling dreams all over the place, huh?

Thanos6 · Post by **Thanos6** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:14 pm

I think it just may be an alternate, though...look at his profile, that looks like adult Yamcha.

Humpski · Post by **Humpski** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:19 pm

That's Desert Bandit Yamcha all right! But it looks more like an alternative costume seeing how Desert Bandit Yamcha only got the Wolf Fang Fist attack. And they have really interesting attacks...

Thanos6 · Post by **Thanos6** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:21 pm

"Planet Geyser?" Is that the giant red beam o' death, or the lots and lots of explosions he fires at Goku while he's gathering the Genki Dama?

What's the source for this?

Thanos6 · Post by **Thanos6** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:24 pm

New pic from jipang:

Looks like Selipa/Fasha has her own version of Bardock's "crotch slam"...think we have enough sexually suggestive moves yet?
