The Vegeta cut scene at the beginning just threw me off. The word "shitty" came to mind when I saw that.

About that, I assume there will be two types of cutscenes in the game. I think this because in the TGS trailer we see so many awesome and great looking clips of scenes yet in the Goku vs Majin Vegeta and the beginning of that new Buu vid, the graphics are far more worse.

I assume the "Good" cutscenes will be playing during important parts and mostly between each battle and such while the bad looking scenes are the type of ones that play during the battle such as right before the fight begins.

I thought the same thing. But maybe all of the cut scenes will be good. Or maybe not.

Well I'm looking forward to them, especially the parts shown in the TGS trailer, the Freeza Saga ones looked awesome.

Yo.

-They're not gonna have ChiChi, and the return of the capsule system means I'll see Vegetto as often as I see the back of my head.

-I prefer the Tenkaichi style of fighting.

-I am very suspicious of the minigames. There's a line between 'amusing diversion' and 'GET ON WITH IT', and I fear the minigames will fall into the latter, padding out the story mode/unlocking the characters and such.

-I cannot go back to that horrible capsule system. Never, you hear me? Never! NEVER!

The game gets points for having Bad Man on the start screen. :3

If only he were playable though...

Well, they haven't showed us much in the way of alternate costumes yet. Not to get anyone's hopes up too high, but you still never know... :wink:

Well, if they keep all of Vegeta's B3 alt's, that's 4 costumes already. We know we're getting GT Vegeta too. As much as I'd like to think they'd go for a sixth one, I doubt it.

Speaking of which, did the Shin Budokai series have anything different by way of costumes?

Not buying unless ith as the Japanese voices, which appears to be not the case. I had enough of the dub in the last games.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

No, unfortunately. If you ended up fighting against the same character, it would just look... darkened. Not a palette swap or anything, just darkened.

Unless there was some real hardware limitation, I wish they'd given each character at least one alternate outfit.

Are you crazy?!
You'd choose Sparkings horribly rushed Potara.. thing system, over the Budokai games well developed, well balanced capsule system?

Super Saiyan 2 - +5% damage, takes three slots (Goku)
Generic "Potential" capsule that everyone can use - +20% damage, two slots.

Fusion - Takes all seven slots. Goku becomes too stupid to remember how to go Super, power up the Kamehameha, use the Spirit Bomb, or do a physical attack. If the Potara is crushed (and it will be crushed), you're fucked. If you're Dancing, it's worse than useless, because not only do you have to somehow hit the enemy after turning bright red and screaming HI I AM TRYING TO DO A HIGHLY DAMAGING ATTACK PLZ HOLD STILL, you get fifteen seconds before you get dumped back to nothing but a single-stacked Kamehameha.

Majin Vegeta is useless, the higher SSJ4 levels on Goku are useless. Breakthrough is nearly so, because anybody with a half-decent custom setup can smack any Breakthrough character around like Muhammed Ali vs. Steven Hawking.

I don't even really use the Potara system (except the special things like Halo or the health boosters/aura change), but fuck the capsule system. I like my characters to know all their moves and then the specialization comes in.

I am forced to concur. The Capsule system is great if we want to customize a character for odd ball settings but the 'default' style of the Sparking series allows one to fight with the character with already really cool moves.

Agreed with Rocketman, the capsule system makes characters like Goku very unflexible due to the number of transformation slots they need, I can only give him up to SSJ2 if I want him to be half way usable.

Well, it could be like Shin Budokai, where you can select the transformation of the character, therefore eliminating transformation capsules, and only allowing move capsules to be customizable, meaning more spare space.

I was thinking the same thing, I really hope this is the case.

Has a character list been unveiled yet? I don't remember seeing one yet, and if this game doesn't have adult and/or Mystic Gohan, and Videl in it, I'm not getting it.

Considering the game's going past Buu saga and into GT, not to mention them being shown in the intro(well Gohan wasn't in his Ultimate state but still...) and actually having Videl get a mini-game for herself based on that episode where she was learning to fly, there's no doubt they're going to both be in. :P

Well the trailer didn't exactly show them together when it revealed the "Learning how to fly" mini-game but there'll probably be a cutscene between then before it begins. :P
