Can't mention the Faulconer score without the Cell theme.

I watched most of Kai and don't remember much of the music, it just isn't the same.

I recently got reminded of how awesome that track is because of this.

Faulconer was okay, but how they transitioned from one song to another was god awful. They used SSJ Vegeta's theme for when Gohan finally destroys Cell, which was awesome since SSJ Vegeta's theme is easily one of his best tracks, and then they transition into this horrible, plodding....THING as Cell disintegrates and it's jarring and horrible.

No, seriously, his name in chinese is 悟飯.

Also Goku is more likely Awakened to Sky, because that way Goten has exactly the same name. And, you know, Goten looks like kid Goku.
Awakened to Aether.

But yeah Awakened to Sky/Air whatever seems like a better translation. Even if it's the same word Goku being related to a void makes no goddamn sense.

So I was playing some Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and I can confirm that both Jeice and Burter have Purple Comet as their ultimate attack(and each one is unique), also the Ginyu Force are in general actually really good in this game, except for Ginyu himself who is pretty meh

My friend always used to play as Chiaotzu in DBZBT2 and kick everyone's rear end because a) he himself was good at the game and b) Chiaotzu was small and hard to hit. It was very embarrassing to lose to Chiaotzu as "At long last, 100% Freeza."

The other thing I remember about BT2/3's story mode was how you frequently had to win almost unwinnable matches (Krillin and Gohan vs the super-powered Dodoria springs to mind), retrying many times, so you could in the next cutscene lose the fight and move on. It was annoying. Also BT3 had the most padded roster in the history of rosters.

the padded roster is the greatest thing about it, though. you can play as king cold and Generic Frieza Soldier.

Oh I agree, playing as Literally Anybody was fun but there were 16 Gokus. A bit excessive.

Right now I decided to boot up Budokai Tenkaichi 1 for the first time in years and it still holds up surprisingly well for a 10 year old DBZ game although it's still really weird in quite a few ways(although one thing I appreciate is that it actually has a good chunk of it's roster locked up at the beginning unlike Budokai Tenkaichi 3 which gives you like 85% of the roster from the start which while I can understand why they did it, removes a sense of achievement for doing stuff in that game)

I'm of the opinion going excessive is always better than doing the opposite(heck I wish they could have put even more people in that game or had the chance to do a proper Tenkaichi 4)

There were just five plus all his transformations, no? Kid Goku, Early Goku, mid-Goku, late-Goku and GT Goku?
Mid-Goku could go SSJ, Late-Goku could go SSJ, SSJ2, SSJ3, SSJ Gogeta and Vegito and Super Vegito, GT Goku could go SSJ, SSJ3 and SSJ4 and SSJ4 Gogeta.

Xenoverse also has a pretty huge roster and some people don't see the point in there being so many variants of Apu you can play as kinda miss the idea that there are missions with mooks you need to kill dozens of and making them playable was just a flip of a switch early on in development.

Kurui Reiten

I kinda wish they had utilized CaCs more, instead of just as Time Patrollers. Maybe make some CaC style Saiyans for some missions, or groups of alien-style Frieza Soldiers to protect Earth from in droves. Maybe have you fend off groups of Warrior Namekians on Namek. Frieza putting down a rebellion of his own people? Things like that, where the game or the developers would just use the CaC system to create some random appropriate mooks.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
Rewatched Vegito vs Super Buu a little while ago. The sudden shift in tone when Vegito becomes "the world's strongest candy ball" is one of the reasons DBZ is awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MaiCJ9E6xE there's the intro song if you mean that, if there's another version of this then I also want to hear it.

Rather conveniently it's the first song there.
