He's almost as strong in base as he is in god.

Which is why he's probably not transforming in the new movie

I don't know if it's hilarious or sad that it took us this long in the series to have a villain training be used as a viable idea.

To be fair, all of Goku's villains tend to be left either reformed or dead.

Piccolo wasn't reformed at the start of Z and he trained the five year interim, developing the Special Beam Cannon, which is the only way they didn't both die to Raditz.

Also Piccolo only really reformed due to bonding with Gohan during their year of training together. His team up with Goku against Raditz (and with Goku's friends against the Saiyans) was down more to mutual benefit than anything else.

They still would have gotten stomped by Nappa :v: AFAIK in the manga the Saiyans specifically sought to eliminate Piccolo as he had the highest Power Level on the planet.

Chi-Chi convinced him to get a license under the threat that she wouldn't cook meals that he doesn't eat.

I think she could get him into a rice cooker.

I agree, but I also understand the need to make the marketing consistent. What they really need to do is show their default dude, and then transition into a bunch of other neat designs they came up with, showing how much you can change the character.

cool but crude
Regardless of the actual game, that is a really good trailer to build hype. What makes it different is really they aren't selling you playing as your favorite DBZ, like pretty much every other game, but fighting by their side, which makes it unique and really appeals to my inner twelve year old. Unless this game really blunders it's control scheme, it is basically a buy for me now.

edit: Basically this game let's you play the Mary Sue self insert fanfic character we all created in our minds.

Yeah, this looks really dumb......in the same way that DBZ itself is dumb, which means I am all for it and can't wait. I wonder if you'll get to go through GT fights too...Yeah, there's SSJ4 characters to play as, but I wonder if they even bothered to do the whole SAVE HISTORY thing with the Shadow Dragons and Super 17 and the like, or if they're gonna stop at Beerus.

Beerus is in the game. GT is triple un-canon so the GT stuff is mostly probably going to be fanservice "We put them in because at some point they existed" kind of deals. Like Kid Goku in the Budakai games.

This is such a perfect concept for a DBZ game that I'm a little surprised it's taken this long for the game to happen.

I really hope the game is as good as it looks...or better, since that weird sheen on the characters is really distracting.

References and Cameos, like I said. poo poo, wasn't Arale in one of the Budakai games? I mean, throwing in poo poo just to have it be in the game is kind of the DBZ video game legacy at this point.

That weird shine effect is why I'm getting it on PC instead of console. The gameplay itself looks awesome, but that shininess is really distracting and there should be some way to knock it back a few notches either via lowering graphic options or using mods.

I do however hope the face/hair character creation options shown so far in the beta are incomplete though. With how sparse it is it's going to be a bitch to make a character that won't run into a clone of himself with different colored hair frequently when interacting with other players.

They'd actually still be in the atmosphere at the elevation they fought in! Given it'd be absurdly thin, but hey. Saiyans.

I do like that Gohan ends up with a pair of secret identities. And isn't there someone who doesn't believe that tournament Saiyaman is the same as actual Saiyaman because he has to swap out the helmet for a bandanna?
