I can't see paying the full 60+ dollars for this,
Its so funny reading people say this.
If they ever dream we pay two, three or more times this price
In our place, they would probably never get a dragonballz game at all.
Lame.
Here's hoping that more follow suit. I'm probably just gonna skip the online portion entirely lol
Yah I wouldn´t handle meeting kids and their no stop online,
I refuse even play with my stepson.

Been watching more videos to see if I'm going to be picking this game up day one, or getting something else and picking this one up way down the road and I've come across a few things...

Do we not have under-water fighting anymore? It seems that these rush combos over water always have them recover right at the surface. And as far as I know I haven't seen any gameplay videos of fighting going on under the water.

What about the teleport mid combo or while moving? Like, I believe for Raging Blast 2 it was something like Push the stick in a direction and press X and you quick teleport around your opponent, or while doing a combo you could teleport and resume the combo from another angle. Has that been seen in this game?

Are there pursuit attacks done JUST by pressing the stick in a direction along with Square or Triangle (or whatever buttons are on a 360 controller)? Are there any actual button combos done during this process?

What the hell is "gold", that article just explains what the game is and uses baseball metaphors. What does it mean when a game goes "gold" within the context of that link?

Going 'gold' makes it sound like they're printing a special run of the game after one hundred thousand copies sold or something. O.o

Going "gold" means that the master copy (usually pressed/created/molded literally in gold) had been created, and that it was ready for production based on that finished version.

Anyone else excited for the character creator, and seeing what they can do with it?

What if fusions: Take my CaC character, have him fuse with Mr. Boo.
give him Gogeta/Gotenks fusion apparel, make his skin color pink. :D

Raditz and Vegeta fusion. Take berserker face/hair, fusion clothing.

It'll be fun to experiment with fun concepts. Anyone else have fun ideas?

They already confirmed no fuses with created characters.

You can select the Fusion costume for your CaC though, so it might not be too impossible to create a what-if fusion.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Now that I've thought about it, I don't think the create-a-character mode looks any good at all.

All you an select from is a bunch of pre-set, existing characters' costumes and palette swap them.

The hair styles are literally going to be the only thing that sets them apart.

Add to that the fact it's Saiyan only...

I seriously think this is the first DBZ game ever that I'm going to knock on the head.

It's like no real effort has been made to polish up any area of the game.

Give me Raging Blast 3 with these graphics anyday.

Sparking! Meteor with these boss battles and a character creator that would let you take any element already existing in the game (or any kind of freedom outside a male saiyan, for that matter) would be freaking gold (no pun intended)

I mean, come on. A character creator with SSJ4 Gogeta as the only GT saiyan that doesn't let you use the fur and change its color? That doesn't let you create even a female saiyan? Earthling? Namekian? Majin?

At the time i saw it, i thought THIS would've been great... I guess better luck next developer.

That's why I said, you have to be creative, use the fusion clothing, skin color changes, see what you can do.

That's funny because that rings true for the design in the actual series.
It is Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 3 (Ultimate Blast).
This game was built on the Raging Blast engine, but the gameplay is very different.

Well it is like comparing Budokai to Shin Budokai or Infinite World.
It is the same thing, but rather different.

Parting with the hype, it is all the same thing....
Super Dragon ball z was something different.
Supersonic warriors was something different.
Legends was something different.


Sparking series overall had its top game with neo.
Never had anything "complete" like that after..
