Who is so far the strongest villain the Time Breakers have controlled in this game?

Why is the open and closed beta some damn late?! I mean, only a few weeks before the games gets released. How are they gonna get any proper feedback from that? And it's only on PS4. What a bone-headed move. The TSG trailer at least looked cool.

Considering someone said Omega Shenron appeared to be controlled in the trailer I would have to say him.

Shouldn't it be Golden Freeza tho?
Dragon Ball /Z/GT/Super is a children's show and there's nothing wrong with that.

You'll have to blame the native region for it being PS4-exclusive. It's only international Xenoverse that caters to more than one console. But yeah. They must have considerable faith in themselves if they think that's the best window of time for evaluation.

I mean I don't want to get into a debate on which is stronger here so you can say either one of them depending how you view GT.

Sorry to but into this again, but I am pretty sure both Golden Frieza and Omega Shenron could at least be considered able to rival Beerus, especially when they are infused with the Dark Magic of those from the Dark Demon Realm.

I forgot Golden Frieza, he's the strongest.

He's Towa's brother, the previous Demon King, and Chronoa even speculated last game that his death is what sparked her nefarious plots in XV. It was already annoying that he was excluded in the first game, but given that XV2 has been stated to be focusing on the theme of bonds (father and son, mentor and student, etc), this feels like yet another missed opportunity.

No one likes Dabura :P

In all seriousness, I have been saying for awhile you could removed the detail about Towa being Dabura's sister and nothing would be lost. They don't do anything with it and it seems to exist only to connect her to some character in Z, and make it appear that she didn't come out of nowhere.

Well according to Toriyama, Freeza would never rival Beerus no matter what he does. Not saying it's impossible with dark magic, but given how Dimps have been keeping Beerus and Whis on a different level, I don't think they will go there. I mean, they had your CAC be stronger than all the villains, but made it a point to say that you were nothing to Beerus. Even the main villain in the game was weaker than Beerus.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

I still think that they could have fit Pre-DBZ fighters in the game. They could do this for flying.

Flying Nimbus for DB Kid Goku, Kid Kuririn and Chi Chi
Baby Gamera for Master Roshi
Jet Packs for Cyborg Tao and General Blue
Dark Nimbus for Tao Pai Pai
Limited Flight in the air for Arale, Nam and #8
Akkuman, Piccolo Daimao, Giran and Tambourine can fly normally.

IIRC, the previous beta for XV1 was a network test to test the server load. I'm assuming it's the same thing this time around.

This is true. If I remember correctly XV1's network test had identical gameplay to release too so no feedback was taken into account that much. Modern day "betas" are NEVER even beta code and more close to the shipping product. I'm not too happy about the dates either, but I understand it's just for stress testing their servers for launch.

In 2 hours we should be getting a 40 minute live stream of Xenoverse and maybe Dokkan stuff from the Japanese Bandai Namco stage at TGS

Is this the one that was supposed to have footage of the new 'boss' missions? Or was that another llive stream later?
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Beerus couldn't be controlled by Demigra. He was just baiting him the whole time. Then Beerus decides that he can let you deal with the threat after his test fight against you where you win the fight but its clear Beerus wasn't really trying just testing your strength. That being said this is all subjective so nothing really is for sure or makes sense lol.

Truly glad no debate came of it cause it's really all subjective as another user said. As far as the live stream goes hopefully we can get something great from the developers that's new. Also after looking at how buff they made the characters I wonder if Super Future Trunks and Black are going to look buff too or if they will still appear skinny as they do in the show/manga.
