It would've been cool if Chiaotzu got some of Guldo's techniques.

Nah, some new moves, would be lazy otherwise. Also, soon:
Locking Gogeta and Broly behind a pre-order bonus is gay, especially considering you'll still get them, it's just an "early unlock" along with some other mystery character. Also, here's an hour long video of purely gameplay, based.
Again, 3d anime fighter and Bamco are a recipe for disaster most of the time, I'm very skeptical. And since I'm here, anyone mentioned Dragon Ball Kakumei before?

Found it a while ago (2-3 years?) and was hooked immediately. The artstyle was insane and the authors clearly had a love for DB, the part that blew my fucking mind was that THIS ART was made by a pretty young teenager when it was first made. I...probably already talked about this but I don't recall.

Chiaotzu was always a bit of a wasted character, even in OG DragonBall. Really didn't do much other than lose to Krillin and die during Piccolo's takeover. Always seemed more like Puar to me, and idk what people like so much about him. His kamikaze hurt to watch all the same though.

I wouldn't say wasted, he did everything he was designed to do in the Crane vs Turtle school tournament arc. Which was being Tien's Krillin, who jobs to the real Krillin in the tournament. But he is a complete shitter that did nothing of note outside of that. Him suiciding himself was his character highlight.

I wanna say people who nostalgiafag hard for chars like Chiaotzu started with Z and thought the jobber crew was way more prominent than it was in reality. Oolong did nothing after the 1st arc, Yamcha did nothing but job after the 1st arc, Launch did nothing etc.
 
It's as if Toriyama stopped giving a shit and wanted to distance himself from his own bloated creation he had no interest in anymore, but the corp. just kept dragging him back in to do the bare minimum.

Watching vegeta get cucked out of his ultra form due to copyright issues is nothing short of hilarious though

Wait what? Never heard of that. How the fuck? I heard it was because Vegeta didn't want to be "the callous man he was before" (say that to Majin) though I could have misread that chapter.

You say that but Superhero sold gangbusters

Simple, new transformations for the normies to suck off and for speculists to speculate on, nostalgia with Cell vs Gohan but shit (imo), doesn't take much. "We get TWO new forms? I'll take buy two tickets at different times to watch twice!" I could just be retarded but given from what I've interacted with regarding DB fans (well, more DBZ+DBS anime only the fuck is a book fans)...painful. All I see is a sea of insufferable clowns.

Kakumei looks like it’s trying too hard

How so? Is it the artwork or the darker story?

The high cost of being the most popular manga of all time is that there's zero quality control for fans. Toriyama spent the last years of his life shitting on power level autists with Freeza, Master Roshi, and Piccolo just to spite them, and it was great. As for vegeta, it's because the form was created by totytaro and thus he owns the idea outright despite it being wholly dependent on the existing DB property to even work. This is why ultra ego still hasn't shown up in Super Dragon Ball Heroes despite that card game using every iteration of every character.
 
This guy has been shitting on Sparking Zero for a while now and honestly it's pretty funny.

He's not wrong, outrage is the best way to make money of your content. Hope he continues.

If there's one thing I'm not liking about Sparking Zero, it's how boring the UI/Menus look. Yeah, it's cool being able to see the characters and map already loaded, but fuck do I prefer all the background artwork and stylized UI of the Budokai and Tenkaichi games.

Yeah I noticed that, it looks very lazy and basic. No style, just "here, pick a character and fight already." I can appreciate the seamless transition to both players picking a character and it jumps right into battle but I agree with wanting more flare.
 
I don’t understand the point of making them kids if they can access stuff like super saiyan

Besides merchandise I mean
