On one hand I'm glad they're no longer just shoving in songs from the original with little forethought. On the otherhand because of this gt reject sounding score we're probably not going to get something cool like the orchestral version of dragon soul playing for the final spirit bomb.

So, I've been binging through that Dragon Ball Multiverse fancomic linked in the OP. I've been really surprised by how much I've enjoyed it. The dialogue's a little stilted and the basic concept requires you to accept a fair bit of silliness, but the fights are a lot of fun, as are the various characters all trying to have fun or pursue their own evil/mysterious agendas without pissing off one of the uber-powered characters like Vegitto or Alternate Universe Super Duper Buu.

I really like the recent bit where Alternate Tien tried to seal Alternate Super Buu with the Mafuba in their match, ala King Piccolo. It probably won't work, but it's a fun idea.

Oh yeah, and multiverse actually lets women go Super Saiyan and punch things and be marginally important to the plot, which is nice.

Multiple episodes of the Sayiaman Saga are filler. It's two or three chapters in the manga, used to transition from Gohan's High School to the World Tournament.

So the Dragon Ball Heroes avatars got their new designs all set up.



I dig Genome's (Cell lookalike) wing/scarf/cape thing, kinda Gargoyles-ish.
Also hey the SS3 designs for the girls.

Some of those are pretty cool, but most of them are overdesigned to hell and back. Especially those Arcosians. It's the post Red/Blue Pokémon all over again.

I'll remind you that I have a very large stick.
If anything most of the designs are at least unique, compared to previous iterations. The male Android's previous were all about raiding 17's closet, the first Saiyan dude, Beat, was using the same Kame-style gi Goku and pals always wore, the first Namek hero was literally Piccolo's outfit, and... the less said about the girl android, the better.

Also there are plenty of good Pokemon designs post Red/Blue.:colbert:

Salaga(Kid Buu Majin) and the Super Saiyan 3's look so badass. :allears:

I agree that the new designs are a step up. The older ones were straight up small versions of [character] with a few differences.

Yeah, the more I look at them the more I like them. I think it's mostly the Arcosians that rub me the wrong way. Too many random spikes and doo-dads. One of the best things about Freeza was how simple, yet effective, his design was (except that awful third form, which fits in with these new guys).

I don't know what is best here, the bottom Emperor Piccolo in super-spiky armor or Admiral Buu.

I really want a game where I can play these sayans though, holy gently caress. A beat-em-up RPG or something.

Seriously, guys, power levels are bullshit. I think my favourite part of the Cell saga is that there's nobody around to say, "well, 18 and 17 are like power level 80 million, and Cell is like power level 90 million, so when he absorbed them both it was a straight addition so Perfect Cell is now power level 250 million, there's no way our power level 100 million Goku could ever hope to beat him!" :v:

The numbers are utterly, utterly meaningless. Think of your favourite RPG, did the fact that the last boss had several dozen times your HP matter at all? That just made the fight to beat him longer, strategy and skill are still the driving forces behind achieving victory, not raw numbers.

But it's fun! Why you gotta be such a debbie downer man

Y'know, why the hell was everyone so insistent on Gohan not getting involved while Spopovich is literally crushing Videl's skull? It's really hosed up, there's zero reason for one of them not to stop it. Were they worried about getting disqualified or something (in the tournament that they don't give a poo poo about anymore)?

Sure, but didn't it happen before they even knew who the Supreme Kai was? So, that doesn't make any sense.

Gohan asks Vegeta, Goten and Trunks not to go Super Sayian at the World Tournament to keep their identities of being at the Cell Games a secret. Goku, Vegeta, Krillan and Gohan are initially just watching the fight, surprised at why Spopovich is strogner than he ever was before, but not getting involved. Goku comments how it would have been better if Videl had forfeited or fallen out of the ring while getting beat by Spopovich. Gohan finally has enough, and goes Super Sayian. The Supreme Kai doesn't even show up and give orders until Gohan fights Kibito.

Gohan's inaction it's the family genes talking. Gohan only snaps out of it when he realizes how much he is like Goku :v:
