That last hit of Blue Goku's ultimate should be the Dragon Fist, it's nearly the Dragon Fist. It's only lacking the golden dragon.

10x Kaio-ken God Kamehameha followed by Dragon Fist would be the most epic move Goku ever half-copied from someone else.

I recognise most of these words but cram them all together and I'm lost.

Is Nappa in the game yet?

Goku's strongest attack in the game as Super Saiyan Blue, he uses Kaioken, punch a bit, knocks them into the air, shoots a kamehameha up at them... and then flies up through the kamehameha while they are being hit with a dramatic uppercut

Bejiita-san does one of those punches that energy comes flying out of your back because it hurts a lot

"Is that your final dandy?"

I feel really sorry for the Hyper DBZ guys, they clearly put a lot of work into their game and managed to stay under the radar enough to avoid legal action. Only for ArcSys to completely eclipse them with DBFZ.

Okay, but the parts where Vegeta goes from being dismissive to referring to characters in familiar or loving ways is a literal actual part of his development to. "That's My Bulma" for example. He still treats Goku that way because that is their relationship but even then you have the ending of the Buu arc.

Vegeta's style of speech does actually change as the franchise goes on. He continues being Price of All Saiyans Man but he lets it slip around Bulma and Trunks and occasionally around others. This is a thing even in the Japanese version. You can argue about how to best convey it but properly showing that Vegeta's chilled out among his family is a good thing.

I agree with all of this, but I think calling people "babe" and telling them to "chill K-Dawg*" is not the best way to represent his change of character. For example, "that's my Bulma!" is totally fine. "That's my sweetie!" is not. It's a small distinction but an important one.

I mean it's sort of hard to actually counter the part where you keep claiming Vegeta is saying stuff he didn't say in the dub. Vegeta going "it's mondo tubular to the max, K-Dawg" would be weird but also doesn't actually happen so... yes, I guess you win there?

Yeah I'm not seeing the deal with Babe as Vegeta does care for Bulma, but it's also used in a dismissive context, which is pretty much what vegeta does is the sub as well.

Yeah, checking those out only makes it even more clear how amazing FighterZ looks and how much effort ASW put into being faithful to the series. Quite a few of those finishers had very little to do with Dragon Ball and felt taken straight out of Street Fighter (or were, considering Goku's Shin Shoryuken), with lines that were cringy as hell (THIS WILL ONLY HURT FOREVER) or used in completely wrong situations (why the hell would Super Saiyan Goku shout TIMES TEN?) and the sprites looked genuinely ugly, though were well animated.

It was obviously happening eventually but I believe the Blue trailer is the first time something exclusively in Super was shown in the game (SSB Kaioken ult). Hopefully this means other stuff from Super is in the game by default and not DLC.

I suppose, as someone who does not watch the dub, one would be in the perfect decision to decide whether its localization is bad based on a single word.

:goleft: The team purposely made it look like Street Fighter because there's not a great 2d DBZ game that plays like SF, which seems very obvious. Cringey lines is what this thread has been about for the last like 3 pages, and the spritework is all original - the guy doing it has worked on some actual games (they are bad ones, though).

0:37 this video - it's in DBZF too

Vegeta: "That's right boys... mondo cool."
Goku: "Im the hope of the universe, ally to good, enemy to you!" (or whatever)
Vegeta: "the afterlife frankly sucks for me."
Goku: "Sometimes my brain doesn't know what my mouth is saying...good thing my heart does"
Radditz: "Hahaha has anyone seen my arm hahaha you can't miss it, it's green"
Freeza: *removes Nail's arm* "Here, keep it as a backscratcher" (i love this one)
Freeza: "Having these balls makes me feel something that resembles joy I think... I want to caress them"
Vegeta: "I do a lot of push ups and sit ups and drink plenty of juice!" *to Cell*

tl;dr- there is precedent for cool uppercuts and DBZ guys say corny things

(don't poo poo on the Hyper Dragonball guys, the game doesn't look that bad)
e: making this list makes me realize how much i love the dub of Z

To be fair to people not a fan of the above quotes many of them were from the 90s Funimation dub, which was terrible and rewritten to the point of butchery such as Goku's heroic "nightmare to you" speech. By contrast both Kai and Super are being translated with MUCH more care to what the original Japanese was saying, because back in the 90s the industry didn't give a poo poo.

Still no matter what you think of Funimation's dubs the Dragonball franchise has suffered from much worse, such as in the Speedy dub when King Kai had something to say about black human beings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyT68tXkctI
