As glad as I am Arale and Blue are real, the highlight of the fun is watching everyone at the Atari boards self-destruct. :)

Yes.....I'd have to agree (being a member on both boards)
It's strange this hero thing. Whole lives devoted completely to helping others. For no financial reward whatsoever. Struggling ceaselessly against impossible odds, risking almost certain death to help those in trouble. I...I just hope its not catching, yes?

That's so great ! Arale is in !
The reaction of some people on Ataricommunity is just pathetic.
Here's a quote : "omfg i they are in the game, i kill myself :X"
Nothing more to say about this.

And is the second character (beginning with the top) Nam ?

It's cool that Arale is in even though I've been partially indifferent to the idea of it.

I am VERY happy Blue is in! Except now I want Kid Kuririn even more since he once fought Blue.

For some reason I just thought about how awesome it would be if they put the pirate robot in the game. :shock:

From the Atari boards, 8 minute trailer:

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=XPkWeunsM4k

It confirms that Kuririn has his DB/beginning of Z costume, and it also seems to confirm several Ultimate Blasts, like Goku's Super Genkidama, and "what ifs", like Akkuman VS Mecha-Freeza and #8 VS #16 (both battles had subtitles under the screen at some point, which appear during in-battle quotes in the story mode).

I hope there's a "What-if" involving Arale in the Android Saga, she'd perfectly, considering how she's a robot and she was involved in the original Red Ribbon Saga.

Edit: There also seems to be a Nail VS Ginyu Force "what if". Freeza and Cell are playable at some point in story mode too.

Seeing Krillin fighting against Tamborine kinda confirms that Kid Krillin won't be in.

Haha...wow. General Blue and Arale. That's awesome. :)

I'm loving the bulked-up cast of DragonBall characters this time around. Not only with the new characters for Tenkaichi 3, but also for the characters I missed in Tenkaichi 2, like King Piccolo and Pilaf. It's possible that I enjoyed that series more than Z, so it's nice to have all these new characters in, both to play as and to fill out the DragonBall stories better.

Heh, and to think, I wasn't even expecting that there'd be any more DBZ games in the first place on the PS2 after Tenkaichi 2. This is more than I ever could've hoped for.

Wow, I'm definitely importing now. Chances are that Atari will be bastards and take Arale out of the English version and if that happens, I'm importing. Anyway, having Arale and Blue in the game is awesome. Still I wish they'd have Z from Neko Majin. That would be pure awesomeness.

Well, if they did that, they probably wouldn't have given one of their employees a character list with Arale on it.

They'd better not take out Arale. I mean she did appear in the Dragon Ball Anime, Manga, AND one of the movies. :?

I just don't see how...Why?! WRYYYYYYY?!??!

Apparently someone didn't read my long as hell first post that logically talked about why they aren't going to do the whole one armed thing for Gohan.

Though this thread has gone on for so long I forgot what page it was on. Besides at least he is in the game at all. Better than how in BT2 when you had to use present Gohan to fight 17 and 18.

"Okay Trunks you stay here. I'll fight the androids myself. Let's go GOTEN!!!" WTF?
I don't like podcasts. I find them to be boring. Sue me.

"His" grab is just a generic one reused from BT2 though. If he doesn't have an one armed costume due to that 'thing', it'll be the first time I consider Spike genuinely stupid.
Well, there are _some_ things for which I will consider Spike genuinely stupid if they don't come with BT3 :/
And I'm not talking about big things, just technically simple stuff that they could build in in a minute...
C'mon people!
Why are you suprised!
Gohan with one arm is like Freeza with half his body! It's just not gonna be in cause it really is'nt all that needed/nessecary.
It's just one of those things that can be acceptably bypassed.
Yeah it would be cool but it's not THE END OF THE WORLD! (you babies!)

I swear you want the "ONE ARM" more than the "ACTUAL" character himself.....

Except the fact that he lost an arm also helps to make him stand out.

Plus it's badass.

If they aren't going to give Future Gohan a 1-armed alt costume, why the hell did they bother to make him only use one arm to fight with? How pointless.
