Oh really now? Y'all are gonna cry over BASE VEGETO? :lol: You gonna hate the damn roster because of one base character who didn't really do anything didn't make it? This sorta reminds me when base Teen Gohan, base Gotenks, and base Vegeto weren't in the UT roster, almost all the "fans" were enraged.

Man, you guys are spoiled. as. FUCK!

Base Teen Gohan and Base Gotenks I can understand. Seeing as People LOVE to transform and not to start as a transform state. Base Vegetto.....................well he's....different. He got a kick ass Base hairstyle in ALL games. So.....I can see why people want him

They still dumb for playing with those characters that only have stock moves, though if you enjoy playing as them, more powa to you, but I think they are doing this for the better so that almost every character will feel unique and will put better characters in. (though I wonder why they decide to put Frieza Soldier in)

That seems to be what Namco thinks, but it seems a lot of people are annoyed that it's always those three before anyone else.

Base Vegito and Base Gotenks both had unique combo specials in the RB games. Plus as others have said they have awesome hair.

I do appreciate the variety of facial expressions though. Wouldn't mind having a larger copy of that Kuririn face eventually.
I'm not trying to single you out specifically, you were just the latest person to ask about Trunk's hair. Personally I thought it was obvious, but since a lot of people keep bringing it up I thought I'd might as well just make a picture demonstrating why it looks that way:
It's normal, it just didn't fit in the box properly.

Doesn't matter at this point because almost 85% of the fanbase hated both of the RB games, remembeeeeer? And they both weren't shit in the Tenkaichi games at all. They were fun to play with back then, but now since I'm looking at some moveset videos, I think it was the right decision to give some of the base forms the ax.

I could be wrong now...BUT I DON'T THINK SO!! Cuz there's some spoiled "fans" out there. There's some spoiled "fans" out there! :twisted:

Man, you guys are spoiled. as. FUCK!
If you noticed my list, there are far more characters than base Vegetto that I mentioned.
Chaozu, Kyui, Dodoria, Zarbon, Transformed Zarbon, King Cold, Mecha Freeza, Super Vegeta, base Future Trunks (post RoSaT), base Gohan (Boo arc), Videl, Great Saiyaman, Great Saiyaman 2, Pure Evil Boo, Gotenks Boo, Piccolo Boo, base Vegetto, Kaioshin, Kibitoshin SS Gogeta, Janenba, Super Janenba, and many other movie characters, any GT characters, any DB characters, any what-if characters, and any other Z characters I forgot to mention.
And of course I got spoiled from the previous games. How can a new game surpass a game from over half a decade now when it's inferior to it in almost every possible way?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

85% of the fanbase you say? That's quite a broad statement. The RB games were pretty popular. Not as popular as Budokai or Tenkaichi but still pretty popular. The first one at least did well enough to get a sequel and there was even a lot of interest and even hope for RB3 until BoZ got announced. I think you've been reading too many Youtube comments.

It's... Teen/Adult/Older Gohan? That's his outfit after he gets his energy stolen. He's known as the "golden warrior" to the people at his high school, but that's prior to the Great Saiyaman or the Tenkaichi Budokai.

@ SparkyPantsMcGee - Hey, no worries. I don't mind being 'singled out' as it were when it's done politely and informatively. :thumbup: And I never thought of that. That would certainly explain what's up with it then, and it makes sense as a lot of the faces on the selection screen are from a bit of an odd angle. Thanks for the info and example.

As far as the 'no base forms' discussion go, I won't cry foul that they're not there, but for some reason it did always bother me, even back in...I think Budokai 3, where Broly's default form was his Super Saiyan one. Or in the first Tenkaichi where we only had his LSS form or Cooler in his final form. It just seems a little odd to me, in newer-age games that have gotten more comprehensive on the forms side of things, whether or not they did with character rosters as a whole.

...Though come to think of it, it used to bother me a little when I was messing around with Ultimate Battle 22 as well, since everyone was in their Super Saiyan forms by default.

1) Why does he look like he's gonna go Oozaru?
2) His right leg on the right picture looks rather weird and improperly made.

The graphics in this screenshot are all over the place:

God, I hope you're not one of those fans who wants a 200 character roster. I think that's one of the main reasons why they didn't continue to do a BT4 because it'd takes a long time for them to re-animate the characters, especially in today's gaming systems when people expect quality over quantity. Do you want every character to have the same combos?

Hell, even in BoZ some characters can do different combos in other areas, they all just don't have the same triangle combo.

Yeah, popular by getting infamy from the "fans" calling them the "same shit over and over again" and constantly comparing them to BT3 (even though I also think BT3 is better, it still got annoying by them stating the obvious)

You've gotta be kidding. So you mean to tell me that the horrible sales of BOTH of the games, THAT game came along taking RB2's thunder back then(http://youtu.be/fPIfkWqRr7Q) which made them to "make something new" a year after(http://youtu.be/1kWe0tdwtY0) and then the "fans" got mad, and many fans saying they're tired of the "same shit" was hoping for a RB3? PREPOSTEROUS!

And it isn't just youtube comments, I've seen those statements in most forums like IGN, Gamesradar, saying that they were tired of the same shit when both of the RB games were around.

Most fighters have the same moveset in the actual manga/anime series. I hope you're not one of those fans who wants new games to be inferior to its predecessors just because it's a new developer.
