I can't imagine Xenoverse's sales being a huge part of deciding whether or not that game would come over. XV will probably do well here because a lot of people enjoy Dragonball and the Xbone/PS4 don't have a large library. The 3DS does though, so people are going to be less inclined to buy it on a whim to scratch an itch so they'll probably be looking at for an audience who want a 2D fighter on 3DS which isn't gonna be as big as XV's.

Frieza's race doesn't have a skeletal structure or internal organs, for as far as you can really care about this kinda stuff in DBZ they do have a completely alien biology, even more so than Namekians; just roll with it.

Also eating their tails mutates you into a hulking monstrosity. http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/File:Frieza_Soldier_giant2.PNG That's what happened to one of his worthless mooks after taking a bite of Freeza's severed form 2 tail.

I like the Spirit Bomb at 1:28 with Sword Trunks flipping around as it charges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI08AoBiou8 also if I am interpreting this video correctly the battle-damage outfits are now just a costume you switch to instead of happening in battle, interesting. Edit 2: On the same guy's Youtube page, I saw a vid of how to reliably farm Dragon Balls. Does anybody know what sort of content is going to be locked behind them? I hope it's not like Budokai 2 or such where whole characters, stages, that sort of thing are dependent on multiple, repeated DB farming. projecthalaxy fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Feb 17, 2015 |

What exactly was Freeza's title? He was the head, or at least very close to the top, of the Planet Trade Organization and his father is called King Cold. Is he a prince? A CEO? Both?

It's interesting to me that the option says you can rebuild your character - everything except the name. I wonder if you can pick a different race.

I always got the feeling that KC was like a dowager/ex-ruler who had basically retired and let Frieza run everything, who then had to go back to being personally involved when the kid got all chopped.

Frieza is stronger, but not by much, is the impression I got. Frieza didn't run to him because he's stronger, he ran to get him so he'd have backup. IIRC, Frieza calls himself the strongest in the universe and his dad just stands off to his right nodding.

I assumed King Cold was long retired, that's why everyone talks about Freeza even though his father is supposely stronger than him (at the beginning of the Android saga Gohan and Krillin say they sense Freeza's ki and someone even more powerful with him).

I always just assumed King Cold was stronger since he was older and (presumably) wiser than Freiza. As far as what his role was, I figured it was more Freiza's family that ruled everything, and King Cold was the head of the household.

I think it's Freeza is head of the Planet Trade Organization and Emperor of most of the Universe while King Cold is the ruler of Freeza's race. Cold's entire thing when he showed up was to make sure that his race was shown to be unrivaled.

Covok posted:Yeah, that's a good question: who is the stronger of the pair? It's hard to tell because Future Trunks beat them both like they were baby seals. The thing is, Freeza is powerful enough that I don't think that anyone except Goku could make a reasonable comparison of their strengths when they show up, since I think Goku was the only one who faced Freeza at 100% and he never said anything about King Cold one way or the other. It basically doesn't matter, Cold and Freeza are about equal as far as the story is concerned, he only exists to show that Trunks is really strong, since he beat them both handily. Note that as it hashes out, Freeza and Cold's attempt at vengance could never have accomplished anything. In Trunks' timeline, Goku beats them both easily, which makes sense since Goku has only gotten stronger since his defeat of Freeza (he's stronger than Trunks by all accounts) and he tore him apart with very little effort before. -Fish- posted:Cross-posting from the 13th Age thread.

Namek: quote:Once per encounter when are Staggered you gain HP equal to your 2nd highest ability modifier plus your level at the start of each turn. This effect ends when you are now longer Staggered. So, basically, when you go below half health, you heal back up until you are above half health again, but if you drop to staggered after that, you don't heal again, is that right?

It seems like Freeza is the only one in his race that can transform, or at least it's not a common thing to his species. Cold didn't transform and Chilled apparently couldn't. (Cooler isn't canon)

It is entirely possible that cold would have been able to transform if Trunks just sat there and let him. Edit: Beaten like King Cold.

If I'm remembering right didn't someone state that they felt a power level on Frieza's ship that was even bigger than Frieza's? Hard to reconcile that with what looks like an untransformed King Cold, unless Frieza's robot parts made him substantially weaker than he'd been on Namek.

There has to be separate established canon, the anime canon and the manga canon, so the question is still valid as far as the anime is concerned. That said, I'd wager that far more people have seen the anime than the manga.
