Didn't Kaio-sama say something about not being able to do the spirit bomb...Or didn't master or something...I forgot what he said.

No way. That...is too good to be true! If Kaio-sama is playable... THIS GAME TRULY WILL BE THE GREATEST DRAGON BALL Z GAME OF ALL TIME!!!

*takes a deep breath*

I dunno, that might not be true. How could that site just get that information out of the blue?

Yeah, I think he said that he never was able to master it. So if he were playable maybe he could perform it but it would be a lot smaller and not nearly as powerful as Goku's would be.

It's Baby Vegeta Oozaru in-game! In one pic he's doing "Rache Todesball final" which probably means "Rage Deathball" or "Revenge Deathball" if I'm not mistaking. (Damn my rusty German)

Can you control the camera this time?
Like.. turn left and just lock it with R3 button?

There will be different costumes for characters too?

Don't get your hopes up. By King Kai they mean Supreme Kai, they have their knowledge messed up.

Revenge Death Ball. That's how Mr. Daimao and FUNimation's dub translate it, even. So congratulations; your German's not so bad as you think!

Then why did they mention Bubbles. I'n not trying to create false hope, but it does impy they know what they're saying.
Jord doesn't have a avatar because the combination of Jord and a equally cool avatar would cause the universe to implode.

This thread is so long, I really have no desire to see if this was brought up, but yeah...SPIKE's keeping the "split-screen" for 2p.

Yeah, that's what he screamed in Tenkaichi 1 with his squirky little biznatch-voice. God, I truly hate that voice.

They probably mistook Kaiôshin for Kaiô-sama and knew Kaiô-sama had a monkey named Bubbles. They probably decided it would be funny to mention this, still not realizing that the one they thought was Kaiô-sama was actually Kaiôshin.

Personally, I don't believe it. We've seen pics and conformation of what appears to be every character in the game. Why would we never have seen a single one of Kaiô-sama? Why would there be this one character who just happened to have never been shown even if all the others were? I'm sticking with the idea that they mixed him up with Kaiôshin.

Well, we have seen Kaio-sama pics, just not playable ones.

Maybe they're doing more than we thought with that character model.

Yea...

I know, I'm a dreamer.

But it could happen.

I'm going to take a break from the Kaio-sama theory for a bit.

Check these new images. Yummy!

Complaint: Alright, we've seen a lot of preview movies/images from this game already, and I have yet to find the one thing I hoped that Spike would improve on: Facial Expressions! :evil: What the hell? The cutscenes would suck without facial expression. What's the use for cutscenes if they're not going to put facial expressions? Would it just kill them? No! Dragon Ball Z3's WAY better at facial expressions. I really don't want to see the disastrous result of lacking facial expression from the last game to appear in this near-perfect DBZ RPG/Fighter. Remember the permenant smirking of Ultimate Gohan, Super Perfect Cell, and etc.? Boy, that was annoying!

Thank God for the last scan. More techniques!

I hope they have Tenshinhan's 12 eyes 'secret weapon' technique.


Here's a good conversation...Who's gonna be on your super-elite, 5 fighter team?

Mine - Team Dragon Ball

Piccolo
Tenshinhan
Roshi
Kuririn
Yamcha

Others I'll consider -

Taopaipai
Slug
Cell
Turles
Meta Cooler
Bojack
Broly (Maybe)

I'd just do humans. Kuririn, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Goku (Kid Goku, i mean)and for laughs, Mr.Satan :D
I can see Mr.Satan being sent out as my team's last hope.

Well, I went on wikipedia(yeah yeah, I know, but it only had the characters I've seen confirmed already) and counted all the characters and transformations and when you count the transformations as characters there are 130 confirmed characters. Looks like everyone in the game has been revealed already. :(
