As someone who hasn't seen new episodes of either of those in years, have they actually referenced Dragonball at some point out of interest?

I'm in the same boat, so I couldn't tell you. They were just the first two shows to pop into my head.

Point is, people who only know about Dragon Ball from jokes about it remember more about it than Toriyama.

How many body-types are there per race/gender anyway? All the videos I saw just used Goku or Recoome body-types for humanoid dudes and just one body-type for everything else.

It' truly amazing to have forgotten basically everything you did when you spend years and years of your life working on it. The best bit is when he was reminded what he picked as his favourite image "Oh yeah I did do that... why did I pick that image?"

Oddly enough I was wondering earlier today if Martian Manhunter would be a more fun/better match up

Martian Manhunter is as fast and strong as Post Crisis Superman and has all of his powers, has telepathy as good as Professor X, can shapeshift, can become intangible or partially so, invisible, can heal ridiculously well, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting. He's basically the Buu of DC since he can do everything everyone else can (although still isn't as broken as The Flash).

Here's a companion video for create-a-goku Ultimate attacks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRk6U0AHFVs
A compilation of all Super attacks CaC can learn.

Shoryuken spotted.
A few Android grab + draining moves, if you wanted to make your Human an Android. (I think their innate ability is to regenerate ki)
Mini Spirit Bomb like the one used on Vegeta in Saiyan Saga.
A few counter attacks.
Ginyu poses.
Kaioken.
Quite a few shields.
Ginyu's "punch himself in the chest" move (Body Change is an Ultimate that was left off in the last video)
Piccolo's "throw himself between Nappa & Gohan and take the attack" from Saiyan Saga, I guess to save a friend in multiplayer.
Teleport + karate chop on a dude's neck.

Quite a few cool looking melee supers.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g52kEJs5SAw
All CaC "Escape" moves. They are technically Ultimates, but everyone gets on for free; they don't count towards your 2 Ultimate slots. It's kind of like a combo breaker. There is seriously a finger flick that sends the other dude flying. Another interesting one involves your dude retreating back while throwing off some renzoku shots.

With all those drain moves, AND one of the escape moves being the android barrier, I'm totally making one of my human characters an android.


Although, my main character is gonna be a Namekian with all the teleportation moves I can give him.

I'd assume after the mission is over, you go back to your own character. But, yeah, you can Body Change.

I don't know if you can like load up a super-hard mission then Body Change with an NPC and give them a useless character. I just don't know.


Oh, and that Bluff Kamehameha that shoots confetti and streamers - it reduces their ki by 3 bars.

The guy above said it was an ultimate move. And, I mean, the fights are all instanced and self-contained. It'd be super simple to just give everyone back their default characters once the fight is over.

It's pretty awesome that some of the poses are Escape moves. It'd probably piss people off when you no-sell their Big Bang Kamehameha.

Also, Kaioken is supposed to be pretty great, in some ways better than SSJ and only takes up a Super slot. It's not a full transformation, but it's something if you want it.

Another thing, you get a total of like 237 points in CaC, and the cap of each stat is 100. You start with 3 ki bars, and can get more as you boost the Ki stat with diminishing returns. You can't get a cheesed out max everything dude.

I'm still dumping all my points ASAP into Ki for my Namekian, because he's getting teleports and ranged attacks completely, because the only thing more entertaining than no-selling a Big Bang Kamehameha is appearing behind them just as they fire it.

Ki Blast Supers

At 5 Ki you get an extra bar, then at 25 you get your second full bar of Ki... I think you can max out at 8 bars at 100. You can wish for your stats to be reset, but I'm unsure if they reset to the base for your race, or at 1 so you can completely redistribute.

Really loving the sheer variety of the melee supers. I'd worried a bit that there'd be a bigger focus on the energy attacks but it seems to actually be the opposite case. That they actually look pretty good in motion is another big plus.

You hold R2, and then press a face button. There's a legend in the corner that shows you what move is mapped to what button, so you don't need to memorize it. If you hold L2 + R2, that key map and those buttons change to your Ultimates.

I know there's no Frieza forms 2 or 3, but are there options for Frieza's race that at least make you look like them? I mean, apparently there are for 5th form, and its not like 2nd level Frieza's race would require much more work than a King Piccolo sized Namekian.

Yeah, you can look like different forms if you want. Someone on GameFAQs said they saved a bunch of costumes of his Freeza dude in different forms, and just switches between them when he wants a change.
