Yeah , he does, but only during the second time he shows up. For that like single panel, where he appears when Goku and Vegeta are pulling out the people he's absorbed, he has Piccolo's cape, his purple shirt, and what I assume to be purple pants that he had his assistant color in by mistake (no other absorption has affected his pants). But when he first shows up after Gotenks defuses inside him, he only has the cape, AND he sticks around or more than 1 panel...so I've always wondered why they went with the second version over the first...

---------
EDIT: It seems that Set 6 was posted last night, way after the other update...so I missed it. lol

New characters (only 2 haven't been mentioned before):
SS2 Vegeta *F#&@ing Confirmed*
Super Buu
Super Buu (Gotenks)
Super Buu (Piccolo)
Super Buu (Gohan)
SS3 Gotenks
Ultimate Gohan
Vegetto (Base, SS)
Kibitoshin
Gotan

Curious who the secret card will be...

You know it's most probably going to be Chilled...

I originally thought so too, but have since changed my mind. If they release Chilled as the secret card, that still leaves Tobi unplayable. Not saying it won't happen, I just think there is more of a chance for another character to take the spot now...

Well, Majin Buu Pure is still missing, it would be stupid if he was the secret character, but you never really know what to expect. I don't see them making a whole new set just for that final part of the series, unless it includes Uub and the likes.

I doubt Pure Buu would be the secret card. Though I wouldn't doubt them doing a set based on the rest of the series. Since they've been including a lot of henchmen and stuff in this game, I wouldn't exactly doubt them giving us Pure Buu, the other Kaioshin, Uub, and the End of Z gang for a set. My best guess would be having the card related to the next set, but still a "new" form like we've been getting. Previous set gave us SS Bardock, before that SS3 Vegeta, before that SS3 Trunks, before that Hatchihyack, and the first set had no secret. I'm kind of betting on SS3 Broli...

I just realized, we also don't have a Buu Pure Evil card, huh? The Buu arcs are missing some guys it seems.

Judging from the fact that this set alone includes Good, Evil, Gotenks, Piccolo, and Gohan forms for Majin Buu, I'm going to guess we won't be seeing the Pure Evil form. Pure will inevitably come in a later set, and it may include the Buff/Unstable form when he absorbed South Kaioshin, but I doubt that as well. The two oddball forms will probably be treated like base Bojack. lol

It would be a good start for including him in later games.

I personally would rather they don't bother. There are a lot of other characters that I would prefer be added to other games (not Heroes) before him, especially since every time they increase the roster, they slaps us in the face and cut it down again, only to try and market previously playable characters as "new"...I really just noted it as a possibility since they are including a lot of previously never used or rarely used characters.

Seems they felt like leaving Tobi in the dog house, because Chilled is the secret card. I was torn on the chances between him or SS3 Broli, about 50/50 on the matter, but I can't say I'm surprised that it turned out to be him:

Just on the off chance, does anyone know of any gameplay footage of Gotan/Gokule floating around?

Back to having brief trickles of information.

First off, we have two new Avatar Saiyans (classified as such despite having names because that's how Akina is accessed). Like Akina before, they are based off of the rest of the Sakiyomi Jan Bang! cast, and seem to parody Vegeta and Nappa:

Second...he's coming:

Third, in honor of Ultimate Blast being released, the Heroes Saiyan Avatars will ascend:

Wow, I want to see the Saiyan Elite as a Super Saiyan! It would be like SSJ #17! Also, what are the 2 new Avatars names? (assuming they have, as they are based to real persons)
