Oh I already know that. I know there's no 1v1 and that each fight has to be 4v4. My question was that could we create matches vs the cpu and not just forced online matches?

Most likely? Normally I would say yes, but they have removed basic things like combos, transformations, 1/2/3 vs 1/2/3/4, and local multiplayer, so I don't know the limits of their stupidity.
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.

Based on their recent track record, they probably have room enough to go up just 1 more level of stupidity...

Considering the game covers none of GT, I doubt it.
I know, but it might be that they want to save him for a double promotion of Battle of Z and Dragon Ball Heroes, in a V-Jump or Weekly Shonen Jump; they might reveal Gotenks is in the game at the same time Adult Gotenks' Super Saiyan 3 form will be revealed in Dragon Ball Heroes. And thus, they could include a Super Saiyan 3 Adult Gotenks card for Dragon Ball Heroes offered with Battle of Z.

This screen looks really good and it wanna makes me play but gotta wait till Dec 17. ^_^

Although I do have to say that the grass on the top right does show it's not doing too well, but all things considered the game will either be a hit or a miss. It can't be both.

I still doubt they would do that given it's a DBZ era type of game. The mainly focus on DBZ and not GT. Having him in there would make no sense and feel out of place.

I'm not saying they'll add Adult Gotenks in the game, just that they might reveal Kid Gotenks in the game when Adult Gotenks SSJ3 transforation in DBH will be revealed and give a DBH card.

The US PlayStation podcast confirmed that the demo should be out on PS3, and Vita on Tuesday.

Ooh, Cool. So it's being released the same day as the Japanese demo. At this point I'd assume Europe will get it the same day too.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

The European PSN Store updates on Wednesday. I don't know if the demo will up for that region.

Yesterday when I went to gamestop to buy a game gift for somebody, I saw a Battle of Z pre-order promotion poster in front of the cash register. I was shocked and was like "DAAAMN. Looks like Namco Bandai is really trying their hardest to promote their anime games again".

Did anyone else saw a gamestop BoZ poster at their local gamestops, or was it just mine?

Mine had it as well. It was a bit surprising.

I've seen some at other places as well. Wal-Mart, Gamestop, and even some local bootleg game store.

Eh I'm still not getting my hopes up. We were told all fights would be 4V4 so I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the video specifically...

Just a bit more patient and the demo will be released (Tuesday), I can't wait to try it out but of course I'll give the JPN demo a try first to see if it has Kikuchi's music which I'd rather play with.

Gonna give the demo a download on Vita. My hopes are pretty low at this point, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise by the game itself.
