Is Busou Renkin really that good? I discarded it because of how cliché it looked with its spiky-haired protagonist with a big sword and mysterious girl in school uniform.

I think this and this ought to tell you everything you need to know if you will like the series or not.

It's basically an affectionate parody of Shonen battle series.

A very, very, very affectionate parody.

Busou Renkin is amazing. The VAs in the anime for Papillion and Bravo make it 10x better.

I honestly like Magic Goku. FT is such a stereotypical series that it wraps around and becomes endearing for me.

And i watch the anime so dat soundtrack helps a lot.

In DBM news, I still can't decide if Prince Vegeta is going to lose this one or not. On the one hand he's been cut open and is getting his poo poo wrecked by a Super Perfect Cell Jr. On the other hand, if the author really wanted to kill him, it seems like it would have fit better just having it happen when Vegeta got sliced open...

I very much doubt there's more than three pages left. Either Emperor Veggie hatches some devious plan/blows himself up and instantly kills the Cell Jr and/or Raichi, or he gets KO'ed/killed really fast.

Considering in one of the specials Krillin did the 'solar flare/destructo disc' combo they talked about in DBZA, yeah it's kind of a given

Yeah, this, DBZA is essentialy giving form to all those DBZ talks we had with our friends during recess (or on the internet), it's not strange if several fan parodies aiming to "improve" the series' lore use the same ideas.

Just got an invite for the DBZ Xenoverse network test that is going this weekend. Starts tomorrow at 5 AM and ends on Sunday apparently.

I'll have to post up some impressions once it goes live. Can't play it until the servers are up.

It's seriously the same code for everyone? I didn't that they legitimately did that. Anyway, it's the first 20k to register.

God, the comments on Dragon Ball Multiverse are the nerdiest things ever. It is the extreme opposite of "Power levels are bullshit," with people theorycrafting about who will win based on their likely power levels and multipliers, whether or not Vegeta can become SS3 based on the canon, etc. It's especially bad because the authors really don't seem to be doing poo poo based entirely on what would best serve the plot, so none of it matters at all.

DBZ fans are the worst but I'm glad this thread is pretty cool about it.

In the cases like this, it is sometimes better to just embrace the awfulness as they haven't progressed as much as anyone else.

Trip report on the DBZ: Xenoverse, no manual/tutorial really hurts, especially in the first mission, where you need to target the portal, and go through it.

I also apparently am the only one who picked to be a Namekian. Everyone that I walked around seeing was a Saiyan, be it female or male.

The combat system is a bit weird for me, where you hold R2 for your selection of specials/supers/ultimates. Coming from Budokai and Burst Limit, is this something I just missed in the latest games?

I think it's just part of being a DBZ fan for lots of people. I know when I was a young teen and in my super into Dragonball phase, we all took powerlevels as gospel truth and the number after the SSJ as a prime indicator of how badass you were. Losers just loving love numbers and solid immovable measuring sticks for their kung fu dick waving competitions.
