"Raging Blast 2" Gigantic On-Going Gaming Discussion

[Vegeta's Wire]

Chris Ayres confirms he's voicing Freeza in the game (including assuming Tag VS)

Wonderful news, I think I'm going to give the game's FUNimation Dub a chance this time, since I almost play with the original japanese voices. Although I didn't dislike Linda Young's dub of Freezer, I always thought that somehow, it didn't fit. Chris Ayres's dub is the best I've heard besides Ryusei Nakao's and my country's voice actor for Freezer...

I really do feel like I'm alone in the, "These henchmen are completely useless" category. Why can't they use these empty character slots more wisely?

With whom exactly? Please select a character from the Z series and movies, that's never been in a game and is relevant.

Ah well, you got me there honestly.

[LeprikanGT]

Just because a character isn't the strongest ever, doesn't mean they don't get a spot....although YES, they could have went with a better one that Dore.

People who still haven't made it into the game:

Kami of Earth
End of Z Trunks
End of Z Goten

If they got bored....Yamu/Yakon/Pui Pui, Buff Buu, Super Power weighted Cell.

That Cell you're talking about actually appeared in Budokai 1, though I'm not sure if it was playable...

No it wasn't. You could "use" the transformation in vs. mode, but only Cell's stats changed, the actual larger model was only used in the story mode battle I believe.

You must have missed the word "relevant", and in case of doubt, which you will as usual:


Kami of the Earth: fine I'll give you that one, only because of DBZ Movie 1.
End of Z Trunks and Goten: they did absolutely nothing apart from a gay little pose. They barely had enough screen time.
Yamu: Did nothing, barely had screen time.
Yakon and Pui Pui: Well... I guess?
Buff Buu: And how exactly would that character work? Only if he was a side transformation. And again, he did nothing.
Super Cell: Always wanted to see him in a game, he has appeared in a fighting game but he did basically nothing.

In sum, in terms of relevancy, all these are the same or less than the henchmen they are revealing, including #14 and #15 because no matter how pedantic you choose to be, they are technically henchmen, in the sense that they serve has cannon fodder before the main baddie appears.

I assume it's not only for the Xbox 360. They just didn't picture PS3 right?

Also is it only for Europe? Or worldwide?

I don't even have either consoles but these make me want to pre-order (Finally companies are doing something to actually pre-order).

I at least plan to get a PS3 eventually.

[SSJSteve]

I assume it's not only for the Xbox 360. They just didn't picture PS3 right?

It's being released on PS3 as well.



I put this image up in my first post, but added the Xbox 360 version because it was a better image.

Also is it only for Europe? Or worldwide?

I'm not to sure, but I would guess it's Europe only. They did the same with Raging Blast 1.

Kid Vegeta

[LeprikanGT]

Again.....#14 AND #15 are are both NON-henchmen. They were sent by Dr. Gero to kill Goku. Guess who else was built for that purpose? #13, #16, #17, #18, #19, Himself, and Cell. So either EVERY SINGLE android is a henchman or none of them are....which they are not.


Was anyone going to mention Dr. Kochin from Movie 2? I know theres no giants, but I'm sure they could add him; he has enough moves and all.

You're being pedantic again. If you ignore the in universe nuances, you end up with the technicality that they are in fact "henchmen" for the movie plot. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing and being pedantic.

Yeah, Kochin has enough moves, and his specials could be the pink beam and summoning the other henchmen, but without Uiro, I don't think so.

Also... Kid Vegeta... it would be awesome, but it's not relevant. I guess he would have a shot if King Vegeta returns.

[LeprikanGT]

How is that arguing? I don't see how they could be considered henchmen if the others are NOT considered androids. They were all created for the same purpose and had no real rhyme or reason to their numbers compared to when they showed up in the series [17 and 18 showed up BEFORE 16 and so on].

[mysticboy]

I'm pretty confident in King Vegeta returning. You're right though, Kid Vegeta would only make since if the King was in the game.

You are completely missing his point.
#14 and #15 are on the same level of importance as every other movie henchmen.

[goku the krump dancer]

I know its most likely just his armor but it looks like Bardock has on a white T-shirt and blue sweat pants.

Although I see your logic, I think it you make more sense to include Bio Broly in the last "never-before-playable" character slot. It would mean that all the movie villains that aren't giants would be playable.

Without them, there would be no Super 13. They have a more important role than just random henchmen.

-I thought at first glance that Bardock was wearing 'his version' of King Vegeta's royal armor.

Turles would of never grown the tree without his team
Slug would of never found the Dragonballs without his team.

Yeah, they're henchman idealistically, most henchman are indeed useful but that doesn't make them anything more.
