According to V-Jump, 1 Kili is 50,000 BP. I guess it's like using the metric system for power levels.
Also from the wiki:
In Dragon Ball: Xenoverse, Towa aims to collect Kilis. :iamafag:

This is a video of Freeza Race outfits. They can each be separated into four pieces (boots, top, pants, wrist). I count at least two capes skimming through - one of which belongs to a Great Freezaman outfit. If that's your intention, 2 of the head accessories are Great Saiyaman turban/glasses combo and the weird Daft Punk helmet.

Edit: Whoops, 3. Great Freezaman, Ox King, and Dabura's outfit.
Edit2: If you look around 2:54, there's a bunch of gnarly bio-armors and cyborg parts, too.

This is a video of fuji3san. He plays ranked on Xenoverse with his Namek CAC. He specializes in melee combat, and shows what it's like to destroy spammers.
He also reminds me of Dhalsim, because he is constantly trying to stretch his limbs and whiff punish people. There's other videos uploaded by this same guy if you care to watch them.

Disclaimer: This particular match of his isn't the most exciting, it just shows how you could play keep-a-away/turtle mode and still come out on top.

E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzWopE5lpqs Check this out. This other guy is just trying to spam super death balls against Fuji... and he Just Guards them all. The other guy just keeps trying to spam the poo poo out of him, and Fuji keeps his cool and melees the dude to death.

Names aren't reserved. Everyone can be just "Potato". I think it uses your gamertag or whatever if you actually intend to send any messages. It may also be like XXXX-12345, because I've seen like Potato(1421). I'll be getting it on Steam, and I don't know if you can change your gamertag of PSN ID for free... but you can on Steam, so if it's the first option, still good.
Consider that you don't need online to make your CaC, and then if you were to go online... what, would they ask you to change your name? It's been confirmed by people who currently have the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y54a4Nq3dDg Starting at 00:50.


Earthlings
Racial Characteristics: Ki Attack Operation
Humans/Earthlings have balanced stats for both offense and defense. Ki energy refills automatically over time and attack power rises when maxed.

Saiyans
Racial Characteristics: Combat Instinct
A warrior tribe that has low health, but high attack power. Overall attack power rises when health drops under 25%. If a Saiyan falls during battle and are revived by a teammate, all stats are raised. Males have stronger regular attacks, but buffs last longer and special skills are slightly weaker. Females have higher recovery rates for ki and stamina gauges, but have less health. As of this writing, this is the only race confirmed to have the ability to transform.

Majin
Racial Characteristics: Endurance
The Majin race has high defense, but slow stamina recovery. When stamina is maxed, less damage is received. Males have more health, but lower movement speed. Females have higher movement speed, but lower health.

Namekian
Racial Characteristics: Recovery
Have low attack power, but high health and stamina refills quickly. Items are more 1.5 times more effective than other races and when health drops under 70%, it is regenerated automatically.

Frieza Clan
Racial Characteristics: Interference
Have high speed, but low attack power. When health drops under 50%, speed increases. They can emit a special beam that paralyzes the opponent’s body and effect their actions.

You then pick out of 3 options, which essentially mean "I like to fight long range with Ki", "I like a balanced approach", or "I like to fight up close", which determines your starting stats.
E: Also, your height determines something. The taller you are, the slower your movement speed and the higher your physical attack is.
E2: I imagine the paralyze beam (Freeza race) is probably one of their normal strings or something. It might refer to a special attack only they can learn. When you go to set attacks, not only is it filtered by race, but it is filtered by gender (ie - there is a separate icon for male/female earthling). Currently there are no attacks that are gender specific, though.

You can't change your PSN ID at all, dosh or not. I wish you could though.

I'm listening a little more critically to the CaC voice sets, and Voice 10 sounds like TFS Vegeta at parts. I'm sure someone else would've noticed by now, but I'm picking up little things that are making me wonder if it's the same VA. Probably not, as their twitter only mentions Taka.

Specifically:
22:58 "Power pole... extend"
23:06 "Great Saiyaman!"
A few other instances, but, yeah.

\/\/\/ I'm either picking 7 or 9 for my Saiyan. I think I'd go with 6 for my Namek, and 10 or 5 for an Android.

They do not change hair styles. It just turns yellow. Kind of lame if you ask me since it works on Trunks.

To be fair, most of the hair styles are fairly spiky to begin with, but it would be nice to have a "Primary" and "Secondary" hair if you go Saiyan.

Every time I see this thread with 100+ new posts I always get hopeful that the newest Abridged episode dropped.

Anyway to add some content this post is where I admit that I actually do read Dragon Ball Z fanfics sometimes. The best one I've seen is Bringer of Death, which has Vegeta go SSJ on Namek instead of Goku and recasts Vegeta as the main character. The author is pretty obsessed with getting power levels right but the writing is really good at capturing the feeling of the show, especially the fight scenes. New chapters come out pretty regularly and last I've seen it was on the Otherworld Tournament arc of the story.

Another good one that I've found is Honor Trip, a story about Cell getting hit really hard in the head during his fight with SSJ2 Gohan and becoming a good guy. The story is all over the place but what I like about it is the amount of thought the author puts into his plot beats. For example Cell comes up with some really clever wishes to undo a lot of the damage he caused on Earth.

Of course nothing compares to Multiverse's visual storytelling. But Multiverse also has a written fanfic and it's pretty bad.

I'm not sure why you'd be surprised. Almost no Dragonball Z game period has gotten above a 7/10 average and most are between 6 and 7.

Attack of the Saiyans, which is considered a generally well-made RPG and which is one of the highest-reviewed DBZ games of all time is 73 on Metacritic.
