Can you play a Human? I wanna play a Human. Saiyans are for posers.

In the actual game I think they supported being human, but in the network test that is for today only you can only be a Saiyan or a Namekian. The matchmaking is a bit hit or miss, takes a WHILE to get some lobbies to come up, but it is with a much smaller test base. Once we were in a game I noticed no lag. Having three separate people trying to beat up on one guy is a bit chaotic though and generally doesn't work that well with almost every combo having some sort of push-back. Some coordination in the players would've helped.

There are all the poses they showed up, plus a ridiculous amount more. There are 4 pages of pre-canned sayings to use as well, like Hello!, and various looking for group sayings. Oh and One more time, please, and other rematch style things. Since you can PvP in this as well.

I found it a little odd that you get to select between your created character and any unlocked character (Goku, Krillin, Tien, Vegeta, Yamcha, etc. ) when you actually take on the mission. Your avatar is only required when you walk around the city area, and talk to other people. If you want you can play as Tien, and take on the mission where you prepare for the Saiyans and fight Tien/Krillin. Having two of them in the fight, or hell 4 Tiens, if you all pick him.

I guess I was more expecting the missions you do to be your avatar only, and then have a separate kind of Vs. mode where you pick anyone.

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?

Tenkaichi does this IIRC.

As I mentioned I played all of the Budokai/Burst Limit style games, ( 2D Fighters really ) not the Tenkaichi games, so that would make sense.

The longer this Vegeta fight continues the shorter the Piccolo Gast fight will be, which suggests it will be a beat down. I'm ok with that.

There won't be more than a couple more pages, I don't think. Either Vegeta just completely clowns the Cell Jr. and murders the poo poo out of Raichi, or whatever ghosts Raichi has left hold out long enough for Vegeta to run out of steam. Or blood.

I really feel like the ghosts in the ball has already run its gamut and gimmick dry and I honestly wouldn't mind if he was just taken out of the contest already.

Yeah, it was a cool idea but I think we've hit the limits of its potential. Besides, if Raichi is doing this because he hates the Saiyans, Peak Renegade Vegeta should really be the end of his arc. I'm worried they might have him stick around, though, since you can get more what-if scenarios out of his ghost bullshit.

Oh god I'm hoping that Kakarot vs. Vegeta starts with Kakarot going for Super Saiyan 3 and Vegeta finally pulling out the thing he's been hinting at for the entire series.

Oh man, I never would have picked up on the reference to the restaurant name. I'm also really glad he didn't think of a more elegant solution for Cell in the beginning of the episode, it wouldn't have been nearly as funny if his head wasn't on an awkward pivot the whole time.

The 2 extra features they did for watching the voice acting behind the scenes were pretty cool. Also the extended edition scenes are actually interspersed throughout the movie, and I thought helped a bit with pacing. They were almost ALL universally random jokes, but it gave even more of that original Dragonball feel to it.

It's well established that "5 minutes" equals 4 hours & 13 Minutes across 7 episodes.

Speaking of the SSJ3 transformation...there's 2 ways TFS can play that when they get to it...either keep it right at the original length and go crazy with the screaming....or have it be the quickest and easiest transformation ever. Either would be hilarious...

I love the original anime transformation because it is so powerful, the Earth itself tears itself asunder just from the transmutation, making it at least slightly believable that it is a singularity of power that also somehow drains time from what he was allowed to stay on Earth. Also, considering they've been able to explode planets pretty much since Freeza, the idea that SSJ3 could easily suplex the planet is more apparent with just seeing the devastation Goku causes.
