Official "Sparking!" Confirmed Characters

Post by VegettoEX » Sat Jul 09, 2005 9:35 am

I'd like my forum members to compile a list of all characters actually * truthfully confirmed by print-advertisements or in-game screen shots. Quotes from the developers don't count, quotes from Dranet don't count, and quotes from Atari don't count. If you can provide proof of your statement, that's best.

Only actually proven items, please. ONLY. I'll delete anything else. This isn't an "I want these characters..." thread.

Thank you!

(Updated first post as replies come in and research is done)

For now, we'll be ignoring most "transformations" in this post, as we still don't have a 100%-confirmation on whether these transformations will be alternate outfits (most likely) or separate characters (somewhat likely, but less so).

Okay. Thanks to the official site of Sparking!, ( http://dbzs.jp/ ), confirmed characters are:

Vegeta (normal, super and Bebi)
Gokou (in all forms)
Janemba
Piccolo
Kuririn (pics on the official site, but he's not yet in the bio section)
Freeza (1st, 3rd and 4th form confirmed through screenshots- for 1st and third form screens, check the pictures in www.ign.com )
Cell (perfect) (shown in pics and the movie clip of the official site)
Vegetto (shown in pics and the movie clip of the official site)
Adult Gohan (super) (shown in pics and the movie clip of the official site)
Kid Boo (shown in pics and the movie clip of the official site)
Ginew Tuksentai (all of them) (pics in official site)
Zarbon (monster form) (pics on Shonen Jump magazine, I think a poster here has a link)
Bojack (pics in official site)
Super #17 (pics in official site, and based on the pics in Piccolo's Ultimate Blast attack, it's safe to assume that #17 is in the game too)
Chaoz (pics in official site)
Dodoria
Brolly (shown in one pic in the site of spike ( http://www.spike.co.jp/dbzs/ )

I haven't seen any pictures of Dodoria, but he's on the bio section of the official site, so I guess he's in.

"Destiny"... people claim by force what they desire, wreak havoc upon others in order to acquire it... and they call it "destiny".

This includes "interviews." People can say whatever the bloody Hell they want... that doesn't mean it'll happen.

And type properly, or you're outta here.

Case in point, it was quoted in an interview that Budokai 2 was supposed to have all of the first game's characters, and Budokai 3 was said to have all of the characters from the first two games in interviews.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

Wow, that artical was interesting. And yay at all those chracters. =P I'm glad the artical said that Dragonball characters like Taopaipai will be in it. "Over 50 charcters and over 90 forms" maybe that means you actually can transform mid battle. Though i think i'd actually prefer forms tove seperate characters.

Vegetto (and SSJ)
Gogeta
Goten (and SSJ)
Kid Trunks (and SSJ)
Teen Gohan (and SSJ + SSJ2)
Future Trunks (and SSJ + an AWESOME looking Super Trunks)

Is that Trunks as an USSJ? I never thought they'd add that in. Trunks with the long hair and USSJ looks cool 8)

EDIT: I was just reading through those and i read this,
Some things never change, and predictably multiplayer wont be implemented for Budokai Tenkaichi
This scares me...

I'm glad to hear some DB characters will appear. Hopefully Roshi and Demon King Piccolo will be amoung them. Out of interest, are there any other pages to this article and if so do they say or show anything new?

Strangely enough, my brother doesn't have that magazine, yet he subscribes to Gamepro.

Looks like you've got quite a bit of work to do there, boss...

Gogeta, Goten, Chibi Trunks, Mirai Trunks, Ma-jin Buu (Fat), Ma-jin Buu ("Super"), Cell Jr., Jinzounigen Juurokugou, Juuhachigou, Juukyuugou, and Nijuu, "Teen" Gohan...

There is a blue Cell in this picture so this means there is really going to have alternate costume.

"Grey" Majin Buu can be added to the list:

Do you have a clearer picture because all I can see is Fat Buu (least I think it's him).

While this may not be the place to discuss this, what would Grey Buu add to the game? If anything I think he should appear as an alternative costumes for Super and/or Kid Buu, or those two are re-coloured grey.

[edit] Oh and if you go here you can also see Cooler who I don't think is on the list yet.

That looks like a very early version, also you can see Tien there.

Edit - Oh for god sake, is a filter for Ti-en really necesary?

Look at the character/healthbar above and you see Grey Buu. (Although I agree this screen comes straight from screenshot Hell)

I tried but I can't say I could make out who it was.

LaRésistance - I'm not saying you took the screen shot.

Personally I think Grey Buu is a waste of space. I mean what can he offer? Like I said before he'd work better as an alternative costume for Super and/or Kid. I will be annoyed if that waste of space is put in and Demon King Piccolo and/or Roshi is let out.
