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.

I'm a few days late on the DBZ: Legend of the Super Saiyan talk but my advice to anyone interested in playing is to get well acquainted with the turbo button on your SNES emulator. Even without doing some of the very easy tricks to gain fast levels, the encounter rate is horrible and the battle animations take forever. I still have the horrible map music and battle music stuck in my head and I haven't played the game in at least 10 years.

I can't in good conscience recommend it, if you're hungry for a DBZ jrpg I'd recommend tracking down the pokemon hack instead.

Eh, why not? SO. Goku going Super Saiyan is stupid. If any party member dies against Freeza, it triggers this...



Make it red and you could claim he went Super Saiyan God. :v:

I let Freeza kill Chiaotzu. Which took like 6 turns because Chiaotzu was too strong to be one-shot against Freeza. Oh but that's not the best part. You see, if Vegeta survives the battle, he too becomes a Super Saiyan. It's the bonus battle. And Vegeta has way too much health. 2000 in a game where Goku can barely hit 200 damage against the guy, and Vegeta can barely scratch Goku like that.


Flashbacks to Animelabs subs...

But that's not the best part. Depending on how you do in a terrible minigame with I think... Dodoria, you're allowed to get an extra wish from Porunga. One of the items is the "Tail/Moon" item. It does exactly what it sounds like.



Monkey Gohan on your team. You can kill Vegeta with monkey Gohan. Really though, this all is a REAL chore to play through. It's better something experienced second-hand, trust me.

Sorry for the late reply but this game is weird and really cool to hear about. I like early SSJ Vegeta being stupid strong.

It's a good game for the amount of flexibility you have with approaching the story. What if the Z-fighters were competent and able to prevent most of their deaths against Vegeta? The survivors would probably have gone to Namek with Gohan and Krillin. So if you keep your guys alive against Nappa and Vegeta you get to take them to Namek (which makes the game considerably easier).

It's a bad game for virtually everything else though.

Agree with this. I think i did actually play the game once, ages ago, when emulation was New And Strange to me, and was like "...uhhh"

Yes! I played through Team Training and liked it a lot, the conversion is very convincing and it definitely kept the Pokemon itch of always finding out which fighter you could catch next. It's fun putting together themed teams.

Vegeta probably would have won as a Super Saiyan too because Goku doesn't struggle that much even with 100% Freeza and drags it out for Gohan's sake. The anime, with how much it drags out everything, makes the fight between Goku and Freeza more competitive because they needed to.

This Fusions game needs to have a full team fusion for the Ginyu force.

It might have it. The Maxi Fusion serves as the Limit Break system of the game and fuses all five of your characters, though we don't know if it absolutely must include the protagonist or not (and the two Maxi Fusions seen have both only included Saiyans because this is Dragon Ball).

Agoat posted:

Legacy of Goku is nearly unplayable poo poo and it's honestly a wonder that someone put that on the market thinking it was actually worth the cartridge it used. Legacy of Goku 2 is a competent game, even if it's still boring and a gigantic slog, so that's far more than I can say for LoG which stays away from worst Dragon Ball game only because Taiketsu (also by Webfoot) exists.

Vegeta would've destroyed Freeza if he had managed to become a Super Saiyan. He then would've been a possibly even greater threat to the universe, though, so it's a good thing he didn't.

In my fanfiction Frieza comes back to life but he's like 5000 times as powerful and so strong he can beat up everyone even Goku and Gohan but Vegeta discovers a new Super Saiyan level called Super Saiyan God which turns his hair blue and he beats up Frieza but then Goku steals the kill because Goku is a killstealing jerk and makes up some bullshit story about time travel to justify it.

You know everyone mentions the player character in Xenoverse as a fanfiction guy, and that's certainly true, but look at Towa, too. The beautiful sister of a canon character who shows up with her own personal unstoppable bioandroid, immediately outsmarts everyone and throws everything into chaos.

That android was weird. You are a match for him regardless of the time period. I like to think the thing that made your character "special" in that game is that you were exactly as strong as you needed to be to make a difference.

muh theory (tm) about power levels is that Freeza's scientists hosed up. The scale they created becomes less accurate the higher it goes because they simply had no samples of high power levels when they made it. Freeza and family probably wouldn't even let them scan their true form for data. So you have power levels that scale exponentially, while the actual fighter's strength/ki level does not. i. e. a fight between someone with a PL of 50 and someone with 100 is completely one sided, and virtually impossible to win for the 50. But when you scale up, say 500.000.000 vs 1.000.000.000, even though the difference seems huge, in practice it's pretty much a fair fight with a slight advantage to the 1 billion dude. sperg out

This is why you should measure everything in Raditz. 1 Raditz = Raditz. Sayian Saga Vegeta = 15 Raditz. It's very simple, to the point, and has nice, small numbers.
