I hate myself for it but Ill buy it day one as well even though I hate the 'paper rock scissor' style of gameplay more than i could logicly explain.


But I can see why DB isn't involved in thos game. Do we have any idea as to WHY they took out the traditional fighting and went with paper rock scissors and prompts? FIrst they take away story mode, then we get it back then they screw the fighting mechanics.

I just noticed... look at the back of Trunks' head. It looked "shaved" like his earlier forms. It might've been cool if the strands had split down the middle, but it looks cool anyway (would've helped to differentiate from Goku, though).
I was Thanos before the MCU existed!

Wasn't 'bowl cut' Trunks hair always like that in the back?

I'm a hypocrite about it as well, I know I was going to buy this from day one so so far the bad news is outweighing the good, and still I'm going to buy it.

Tha paper/rock/scissor thing is what is killing me the most about it. They should leave all that for arcade games and leave in the free roam free battles for consoles.

So the new "proper" destruction looks kinda cool but I'm just wondering, every time goku does a kamehameha it seems like the crater is allways in the exact same place

I noticed that they have in game talking cut scenes with the characters when fighting similar to RB2. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCZZ5aM_fo0

I just hope the camera is not a total mess again.

Is that the fat mole Shenlong?
I think that was the 7th Star Dragon (It been while since I watched GT). Rage was the big jelly like dragon that Goku and Pan fought.

Ok, FINALLY some supers are being used.

The thing about craters and all that is nice but this dodging system looks like complete BS to me. I mean are we REALLY going to have to deal with cutscenes and button massing EVERY time someone pulls off a super? Whatever happened to good ol moving out of the way?

Those buttons during the pursuits...I hope those are just for the demos so people know what they can push. ...And yeah it looks like we have the same crater scene each time.

How on Earth are supers going to work in two player mode if its the same repetetive cutscene as soon as a move is triggered?

Well it adds "tension" and "do the right thing on the right time" you know

not like tenkaichi where your "moving out the way" was like "I was moving left anyways.. lucky me I was far away"

Thats the point, if you're the length of the state away, you still shouldn't have to get hit every time, wouldn't that make nobeam struggles ever?

Has this been named "Ultimate Tenkaichi"? That's a stupid name because it roughly means "Ultimate Ultimate".

Probably only outside of Japan. Since the BT games were also renamed for the western world.

C'mon, kei. Don't you want to be the Ultimate Number One Under the Heavens? :P

It IS a stupid name, but in my opinion it was the best of the stupid names. I didn't particularly like any of the choices we were giiven.

From every video I've seen it seems like everyone playing it is completely incompetent and only finding joy out of using rushes/blasts and powering up. Where five year olds playing the game that people filmed?

I'm pretty sure the Tenkaichi title was slap on it to boost up sales since both RB games sold poorly.
