Ugh, this is insane. With 30 new characters, Dr. Briefs' cat BETTER be one of them.

...

I've been waiting to play as him ever since Super Budoten.

I don't mean to go into a fangirl mode, but this better have Bardock's team in the game this time around. I'd like the Oozaru forms as well, but just them alone would make me happy. :3

Having King Vegeta in it is pretty exciting, though. Since I have a Wii now, I could actually go for this. I still need to get and try out the other Sparking (NEO?) <3

I hope they put in Kid Kurririn and Jackie Chun. But I may get it just because I don't have any of the other Sparking! games.

Jackie will most likely be there as an alternate skin for Roshi, just like in BT2. Can't see them making a seperate character when they're the same person *and* have the same moves.

They had better include the original BGM this time....

Cool, new game! 30 new characters? If Bra isn't one of them, I'm personally gonna march over there.

Guys 30 new characters is barely enough to cover all of the henchmen that actually fought in the series. Check my list a few pages back for proof. I wouldn't expect any absurd characters or any GT/Dragonball for that matter.

I certainly would, Namu for president!

My thoughts exactly. I guess that each movie villain will have 1-2 henchmen. Bojack will get one more, Cooler and Garlic will get one more, Apule and that bearded Freezerian trooper that Kuririn kicked will be there too, as well as 5 DB and DBGT characters.

We're BOUND to get more Saiyan-transformations too, being the cheap "extra Sparking character" solutions that they are.

True, but ironically enough, Jackie used moves that never again used as Roshi. And since Future Trunks was a made seperate character because of his sword (makes the jerk-off gesture), it IS possible that Jackie could be seperate.

But I'm with you on this one. Since he's an alternate skin in BT2, it's unlikely he'll be separate in this one.

I hear ya. I hope they'll include farmer w/shotgun as well. I've been itching to play as him ever since I saw these youtube videos in which he easily slays Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, Freeza and Cell.

Hey, did you guys forget about the Otherworld Tournament characters?
Y'know, like Olibu, Arqua, etc.
What are your thoughts on those characters?

With the revealing of 30 new characters, their could be a sign of DBAF or even *Gasp* fan made characters who never even existed for Tenkaichi 3. (The great ape forms of Bardock, Tullece, Radditz and Nappa seemed to start it off in Tenkaichi 2)

And finally in my oppinion, hopefully their will be more filler characters who never appeared before such as Icarus, those 2 dinosaurs which appear in some episodes and that old man who was in the filler episode "A girl called lime"

What-ifs...

Hmm, what if they take the idea to have Bulma playable ala B3 and apply it here? ... Nah, I didn't think so. But then they would probably try to have saga 1 of DB by having Goku fight Bulma, then Yamcha (unless Oolong is in the game too...), then the Pilaf Mech even though it's not until the Fortunetellerbaba saga... then Yamcha Vs Oozaru Goku...
And then they'd forget the rest of DB, except for what was in the previous game. V.V.

What were the exclusive characters for the Wii version?

Ex-Dubbie369 · Post by **Ex-Dubbie369** » Sun May 20, 2007 2:56 pm

Those characters were Piccolo Daimao, Appule, Pilaf Mech, Combined Pilaf Mech, Random Freeza Henchman, and Cyborg Tao.

Weird.

Donny Clay gave an interview where he confirmed a PS3 DBZ game in the works, and now this shows up.

I'll be getting it, no doubt about it, but I also got PS3 and X360. The X360 is getting the DBZ MMORPG along with the PC, but the PS3 had better get its DBZ next year if not this one.

And I don't really care about the characters, as long as they've got the long haired Saiyan Saga Yamcha in, I'm happy.

What they could really imrpove upon Tenkaichi 2 is the area. Make the arena's HUGE - Like throw him up so high we go into space type HUGE! Make the gameplay like we'll be blitzing all over the map, and they NEED to add some effects. When you throw someone to the ground, let a damned earthquake show up, when you punch him through a mountain, make it feel like punching through a mountain, and not like a cardboard box like it was in Tenkaichi 2, also same for water, Where are the bubbles and those cool water effects? Also, they can't breath in water, so add a ****ing timer bar or something in the water to make it more realistic.

My question is:

There's now over 150 characters. That's nice.
Has the fighting engine improved?
Or are they gonna tack something quick, like last year's tag team?

On the other hand, I'm glad they'll be renaming it to Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Sparking! METEOR? Was somebody high on rocks when they thought that?

ngnikolaos · Post by **ngnikolaos** » Sun May 20, 2007 3:20 pm

I think it may have something to do with Goku's Meteor Smash move or something. Not really sure, check with a DBZ bookworm.

Ex-Dubbie369: Are the characters you mention on the Japanese Wii version only? Or also in the US version?

Ex-Dubbie369 · Post by **Ex-Dubbie369** » Sun May 20, 2007 3:24 pm

Those characters are from only the Japanese Wii version and the Pal version of the game.

They should have the big brown Dinosaur that always pops up in the early episodes of DBZ. Its kinda ridiculous but hey, there just adding everyone and there Mother nowadays.

ngnikolaos · Post by **ngnikolaos** » Sun May 20, 2007 3:29 pm

Just checked it with Wikipedia. Sorry.

So the Wii Jap / Eur version had 135 characters ... which makes the 150 number even less impressive (although I shudder at the thought of calling 150 characters unimpressive ... oh, the spoilness).

However, perhaps that means more polished gameplay and substance and less flash ... and I'm game with that.
