If this is real, I'm wondering where the hell is my Dr. Wheelo.
Super Buu's artwork looked wack. (2:04)

However, I had a question similar to the Tori-Bot's. Most of the characters aren't displayed in their 'FUNI spelling'. (There's a Paikuhan, a Zangula, and apparently, a SSJ4 'Son-Goku', hell they even have a 'Super Vegetto'!)

What is going on?

Easy, the screen shots are all from diffrent versions of the game. If they're showing off the game in France the game is going to be in French. If they show it in the United States its going to be in English, if its shown in Germany its going to be in German, ect. The US and Japan aren't the only two countries that have Dragon Ball.

Remember how previous Sparking! NEO videos only show Kame House as a background? Now, this screenshot showed that you can actually fight on Roshi's island!

Check out this topic over on the DBZonPS2 boards...

http://www.dbzonps2.com/forums/index.ph ... 26299&st=0

So far, the whole interview seems pretty legitimate, considering it's source is a moderator on the Atari France forums. Apparantly, to sum it up, we're going to be getting:

- 6 outfits for Goku.
- Alternate outfits for Krillin (Buu Saga), Android 18 and Uub, among others.
- Trunks' outfit from Movie 9 (oh hell yes).
- "What-If" story modes for Turles and Zarbon.
- 5 on 5 tag team matches, instead of being limited to 2 on 2.
- And more...

I haven't read through the whole topic myself yet, but if what is being said is for real, god we're in for a treat when this game comes out.

The 2 vs. 2 feature has already been confirmed on the Sparking! NEO JPN one-shot commercial to my knowledge.... unless it's exclusive to European & US versions maybe ?

The trailer seems to be as ugly as the first one (if that is the trailer at least).

Well I think it looks awesome. Go 3-D trailers!

Sure man.

Here's the translated version, although I belive this is just a summary and not the actual interview (which is in French, by the way):

Lets see, Gohan doesn't get his alternate outfit from movie 9 and Goku doesn't get the Yardrat clothes either, but still has 6 alternate outfits.

I guess those would be. Goku with kanji, Goku without shirt, Goku with no kanji, Goku in blue gi, Goku with blue gi top and yellow pants and Goku with halo.

Hmm, that certainly is a lot.

Krillin has his costume with hair, 18 gets her alternate from Cell saga, no mention of her Buu saga outfit. Gohan gets the Great Saiyaman outfit without the bandanna and helmet. Which is really great, we could just chose to have that as his outfit for GS and then the GS outfit for base and we can have a nice recreate of him transforming in the World Tournament.

Uub gets an alternate as well, he has the orange gi like Goku has and not the blue one. Heh, I wonder why they did this.

Hmm, lets see what else.

The city stage is still partially destroyed at the start, oh well.

Backrounds for Turles and Zarbon as well as what-ifs for them.

What if Zarbon and Vegeta teamed up against Freeza and what if Turles had joined Goku instead of fighting him.

Heh, these should be very good.

Spirit Bomb is like I though, based on how many times you use the blast 1 move, Everyone give me your energy. Though it doesn't seem to change in size at all, this could possibly make it the most devistating ulitmate in the game, just like it should be.

SSJ Gogeta's ultimate hasn't changed at all, it still just gets thrown and nothing else. Which I am glad about.

SSJ4 Gogeta didn't change at all, which makes me kind of mad. I wanted Party Kamehameha.

They talked about how the tank characters weren't effected by people that were really stronger then them, which really didn't make sense and they changed that. So if someone has more power then Super Trunks or Broly or Bojack or even the big characters like Hildegarn and Janemba, then they will feel the blows and move back.

This means that those characters are at a major disadvantage when up against the likes of the later saga characters.

Fusion time is infinite, so no worries about that. Which is good, I don't want to be recreating fights only for the fusion to wear out on me.

We now have confirmation that 5 vs. 5 is what we get for tag now and not 2 vs. 2. You change who you want to tag in with the D-pad, the icon that shows their life and how long until you can change will appear below your characters life.

And here's the source link...

Jeez, what happened there? It looks like his cheeks are puffed out.

AHH!! Run away, its the 3-D opening (screams and faints)

Besides that, it looks great, can't wait.

Has anybody mentioned anything about Piccolo Daimao yet?

If this doesn't have Piccolo Daimao, I'm gonna be pretty upset. He was the first real "supervillian" of the Dragon Ball mythos.

Also, wasn't it stated that this game would include every character that was playable in a previous game? Does that not include Super DBZ because I don't see Chi-Chi anywhere, either.

Argh! Damned obscure characters. Taking up memory needed for the Demon King.

Is it just me or is Golden Oozaru Baby is much larger compared to the previous game? (The Oozarus were to small in the last game!

)

_Jrinu_ · Post by **_Jrinu_** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 1:25 pm

Yea, actually a lot of the giant characters are much larger this time around.

For example, Hildegarn nearly takes up the whole screen.

JAKEMAN · Post by **JAKEMAN** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 2:37 pm

Has anyone noticed from the screenshots of the trailer or opening, that they all have big necks?

Duo · Post by **Duo** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 2:48 pm

They simply cannot leave out Piccolo Daimao. End of story.

And these 3d openings just keep sucking more and more. Back to B2 and B3 style openings plz.

Sure they can! They have to fit in such great characters as Garlic Jr, Salza, Zangya, and Kwi, after all!

Demi · Post by **Demi** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 4:03 pm

So what happened to the story going all the way from Dragonball through to GT? No Daimao, no Kid Krillin.... deceit.

DBZ MAN · Post by **DBZ MAN** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 5:44 pm

Am I seriously the only one who doesn't mind the 3-D openings? Their necks look fine to me. You could say because they have a lot of muscles. You seen racing drivers necks? Their huge

Any translation on the scan?
