Remember, outside of going Super Saiyan (1) there isn't transforming in battle. Because of the engine they're using or something.

Has a game featured the Saiyans Mr. Popo made them fight while they were prepping for Vegeta and Nappa?

I'm a little annoyed with (almost) no ingame transformations, but it makes sense considering you'll sometimes have 6 human players all flying around, can't pause for a transformation cutscene. Maybe make them go into a little opaque aura bubble for a few seconds.

Oh well. I hope there's a tuxedo. I want to do a Universal Spirit Bomb in a tuxedo.

I'm kinda surprised Dodoria and especially Zarbon are missing from the roster.

Zarbon was Frieza's strongest non-Ginyu Force henchman (hell, Zarbon could probably kick Guldo's rear end pretty easily, and Guldo made it into the game), and Zarbon transforming into a monster and kicking headbutting the crap out of Vegeta was the first defeat Vegeta had on Namek. (DBZ Abridged then asked the question I'd never even thought about : "Why did I explode?":what:)

And you'd think Dodoria would make a better generic mook than both "the guy who literally has no name" and "the guy who can't even handle a shot of Raspberry Schnapps".:v:

Vegeta probably exploded as a way of saying "man, he is going fast." In other words, to imply that he was thrown so quickly into the ground that it caused an explosion.

That would never happen. Sometimes people should just enjoy the fact the things they enjoy are stupid sometimes instead of bending over backwards to defend them.

Also, guy who complained about Zarbon not being in it, completely agree with you but find 16's absence even more egregious. The fact the entire Ginyu force or even more members than Recoome and Ginyu is mindboggling. The Ginyu Force sucks, and honestly I think the only reason they are so hyped is due to the America's break between the dubs.

I said "imply" he was going that fast. Like "oh poo poo, did you see how fast he threw that guy? He fuckin' exploded!" I didn't mean it like "if object is traveling at X velocity over Y period of time and collides with an object of Z density," I meant "gently caress yeah, he throws poo poo so fast and hard it blows up!"

It's a visual effect.

Zarbon attached a bunch of ki to Vegeta to ensure he'd keep flying towards the ground and he put on too much so the excess exploded on impact. Same reason any ki attacks explode.

his generic throw in the tenkaichi games was a suplex, which was hilarious since it was an automatic win in the world tournament if you were floating above the outside of the ring

my favorite part of that is that even though it's celebrating shonen jump's history, there's not a single dragon ball character in that game. It's all DBZ. You'd think they could at least throw in Kid Goku.

So apparently if you have an Xbox 1, you can go ahead and download the English version of Xenoverse right now if you want:

Step: change region to hong kong
2.redeem your HK market points [sadly you gotta grab a 600HK card] 75-83 bucks
3.before download make sure you have a billing info
4 download it off the HK market
5. WHEN FINISHED DELETE IT
6.RESTORE XBOX TO NORMAL ENG SETTINGS
7.now click manage game over the download queue
8. you will notice it says install even for it says feb 24th
9. if the loading screen has no Chinese letters on it then you did it

This is a C&P from WeedlordGoku.geocities.dbzclubhouse.net or whatever, and I'm not even going to try to parse what it means, but there you go if you are interested.

I got lost in the DBZ section of youtube again the other day and found a bunch of videos saying Xenoverse is awful, bad, worse than Battle of Z, etc. I haven't played a DBZ game since like Super Butoden 3 so that really doesn't mean anything to me, but from the look of things Xenoverse seems to be hitting all the right notes as far as fun content, a Dragonball as hell story, and fly-around shoot mans gameplay. Why does this game seem to be getting such a bad rap already?

DBZ nerds don't like change. They complain about getting the same story in the games then complain that it's changed when something different is done ie galaxy mode in Raging Blast 2.

Man with Xenoverse getting me hyped I thought it was time to finally start watching Kai, however does it really not have the original music? That seems like such a bummer to me. My favourite moment of all time is Vegeta's final flash, and the music was such a big part of that, I YT'ed the Kai version and it seems so dull and lifeless in comparison.

Yeah, they changed it from a new Kai-Only score to the soundtrack from DBZ's original run in Japan. It's still a stellar soundtrack, but it's a few steps down from what we got in the US.

Zarbon's only not in Xenoverse because the devs got distracted trying to figure out what a Beeboo Crawshanks is and how to program it as his new finishing move.
