I'm still convinced that Gohan's Super Saiyan hair was a genuine mistake, and not just for marketing purposes.
I really hope we get another poster; the current one seems kinda generic and it'd look absolutely rubbish on a DVD box.
Oh, and interesting to note that you can see the tree off to the left in the shot with Uisu:
EDIT: Why do my posts always end up at the bottom of the page?

Whoa, shiny art for original DB era...what is this from? It kind of looks like something from the Sagas opening maybe.
If I'm not mistaken, that's from the end credits of

Ohhh, that's why I don't remember it then. I've only played and beaten that game the once.

Only for GT's 10x Kamehameha. Base Z Goku having a redish one implies it is special in some way. Perhaps the Secret Rare card this time is a transforming Goku card that allows him to jump from Base to Super Saiyan God and that's the newest version of the technique for that form in the movie? *shrug*
Like with everything else, it's a waiting game.

Goku at 2:35. Sorry, should've pointed out the time in my other post.

Re Goku's height
I feel like he has another growth spurt somewhere in Z, (or it could just be an art style shift) because 23rd Budoukai Goku is noticeably shorter than mid-late Z Goku.
Herms' has a guide thread that lists the heights, but I don't have it favorited on my phone. I think it was like 174cm? 175cm? He's like a cm below Gohan. It was less than 6ft but more than 5.5. 5.8?
EDIT: 175cm.

Re: secret card
Also think it's a ssjg card. I'm so curious to see merchandise for this form.

If you are familiar with early Pokemon movie trailers you know they always have fully animated scenes that are never featured in the actual movie. That's not the only case of misleading trailer footage so I see no reason not to believe Gohan was always intended to be "Ultimate". Also, Watanabe seemed to be pretty sure that it was obvious Gohan shouldn't be a Super Saiya-jin. The first translation where he seemed to make an excuse was not very accurate.

For the Pokemon movies, at least the first one, that was because of a massive change of plans.
I'm pretty sure this is just a minor change of plans, to correct the mistake of Gohan being a Super Saiyan. Promotional images would be one thing, but to have it appear in an actual scene they didn't intend to be in the movie (actually, a scene they intended to be in the movie but redrawn) doesn't seem right.

If the Gohan thing was a mistake and not intentional, meaning, they went back and changed his aura and hair color, then that means he'll look like Ultimate Gohan but only be as strong as SSJ2 Gohan. And that blows.

Everyone is going to get their asses kicked anyway so you'll probably be unable to tell.

Does it really matter?
C'mon guys, first DB movie in 17 years and we're concerned about character strength of all things.

What MightyOzaru and DBoxMovies said. I'm much more concerned with how entertaining the fights will be than I am how things stack up with what we know. It'd take something insane like say, Kuririn (as awesome as this would be) backhanding Goku out of the way, going "B**** please, I got this", going Super Saiyan God himself, and him taking down Bils to make me start to pull my hair out at power discrepancies.
Okay, I exaggerate greatly - but my point is I'm a lot more concerned with other stuff than I am power level stuffage.

Is it me or did this movie get
way interesting since the latest bits of information (drunk Gohan, dancing Vegeta & singing Piccolo). I wasn't too pumped a few months ago but now I'm approaching
Chuquita-level of excitement.....okay maybe not that much but I'm gettin' there!

Well, the series is mainly about power levels to begin with so...
