Long black hair and pink dress-like clothes? I think it's just Tao-Pai-Pai.

Yeah, if you watch the videos in that same post, you can clearly see Tao Pai Pai selectable (no surprise since he was in Sparking!). It's definetely the Tao-meister from behind. Also, dang, I am gonna have to learn to play well Zangya (or however her name is romanized), she's super hot, and using such an obscure villain is bound to perplex my Dragonball-casual friends :P

Zangya is the best female fighter hands down IMO. They should also have put in Gokua...Dude looks cool, has a sword, and even transforms. Got to love this pic...

Hmm, the one thing that could make this game better for me character wise is the inclusion of Dr.Whello. I loved that crab cyborg.

I would love if it had Bardock's entire crew with Oozaru forms. Now I'm getting giddy. Toma's my favourite of Bardock's crew; but I sometimes wonder if he's a Saiya-jin, since his name is a pun on a fruit. :P

You will never get me to admit that tomato is a fruit! Never!! :mrgreen: :twisted:

Getting back on topic, The picture is pretty real looking to me, but they've fooled me once with a Toma pic, and I'm gonna need hard evidence before I believe it again.

Although if you look above him in the pic you can also see a charcter selection for Totepo. But I am still 50/50 about the autenticity of this "screenshot".

Yeah that's a digital clock alright, I doubt they get it when they buy it, I rather think that they get that when they pre-order it. Like the previous Capsule-pen. Also, I marked several things on that image, one pic looks like a vague form of Chi-Chi and the other looks like a jellybean stage (Movie 12, anyone?).

EDIT : I noticed this and it showcased much shit. I think I saw Kid Goku (DB, [sarcasm] I was really waiting for this, now gimme goddamn King Cold! :evil: [/sarcasm]), some "Question Marks" (Let's hope they're playable in the full version o.o Super Questaya-jin!) and a bunch of black slots (Can someone please tell me what those things are?!).

i'm the person playing the game in the following videos, beleive it or not. it was at wizard world in chiocago this past weekend. i'd just like to share a few facts that i've found out about the game through playing it. if anything that i'm about tosnay has already been reported, sorry about that, i'm jsut not going to review all 32 pages of this:

1. In game transformations work by hitting the R3 button (right analog stick) And now, you have the option of DE-transforming by hitting the L3 button. Also, at the character selection screen, you have the option to transform into whatever state you want. So you can choose your state before the match starts or just transform in game! However, not all transformations are done just by hitting the R3 button. For example, to transform with janemba, you must shoot three ki blasts and THEN hit the R3 buton in order to transform.

2. The fusion characters are not selectable characters except for SS4 Gogeta. Instead, Vegeta can transform into Vegito or Gogeta, as can Goku. The same goes for Trunks and Goten with Gotenks. It also goes for Adult Gohan and Videl. Their respective Saiayamans are transformations now.

3. Mystic Gohan is his own character, seperate from Adult Gohan.

4. The story mode is looks spectacular, although i didn't spend much time on it. It's somewhat siomialr to BDK 3, but now you have 3 in your party flying around with you. You can select your missions by saga or movie and inside each are about 10 or 11 "chapters" to complete.

5. All characters have their own exclusive special attacks.

i've also sent a clearer video that has sound of both of these clips to VegettoEX, so hopefuly he will see those soon

Yeah, I would say it's a fake considering the name says "Grandpa Son Gohan." You'd think they'd change the name if they really wanted to fool you.

To bad, I would've loved to see Toma (Torma, oh what the hell.) in Sparking Neo. Of course with his teammates in Oozaru form.

Well, just because the past two images of Toma in the game have been fakes, doesn't 100% mean that he won't be in the game.

It could just mean that ha hasn't been revealed to the public yet. *Fingers crossed*

Well i'm guessing that the characters we have all seen so far thanks to the comiccon preview are going to be the only characters we will be getting, I mean a lot were revealed. I am happy with the characters the game has so far but like a fat child in a chocolate factory I only want more :D

One thing I am impressed with is including all the Bebi Vegeta evolution forms. That was something that really interested me in the character of Bebi Vegeta, the fact that as he grew in power his form and ki level grew in power too.

Wasn't Grandpa Gohan already confirmed as playable character?

And that Gokua pic looks like he's a giant. o.O

nope, but like i said in #1, you can start the amtch off as any form that you want. so if you want to be vegito, all you ahve to do is select goku or vegeta, and keep hitting the L1 or R1 buttons until it comes around to Vegito or Super Saiayn Vegito.

and jakeman, i talked to the representative at the booth. he said the game is still being developed right now, and that there will be over 100 characters in it. i'm pretty sure we haven't hit that mark yet
