I tried X1 but I just found the combat frustrating and boring.

It feels bad, the grind is nightmarish, and it lacks in characters and features.

I want to be able to be Great Ape or any level of SS, and if I make a Freeza I should be able to go 1, 2, 3, 4, Cooler, or Golden

I used Cheat Engine to sidestep the grind (guaranteed drops), but yeah, that cosmetic system was way too limited. Should have just made the basic suits, let you swap colors and styles as textures or whatever, and then allowed adding of icons and stuff for symbols. Instead, like fifteen variations of different styles of Saiyan armor!

Just way too many limits. Loved the idea, and the story was fun, but being on nextgen systems exclusively should be better I would think.

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
The worst part was tying stats to equipment. You can't customize your character if you're skill conscious! I've heard it isn't *that* big of a modifier, but I don't care, it's the principle of the thing.

When are they going to have a DBZ game with only one stat: Power Level. Seems kind of dumb that none of them use the one stat that the show actually provides!

Yeah, it doesn't matter how minor it is, if I'm SUB-OPTIMAL it just feels off. Costumes should always be cosmetic in games like this.

I just want the Saiyan armor and a scouter. That's it, I don't really need anything else, bar maybe Bardock's bandana. Just let me have it game, instead of making my Fist Lady run around in Kid Chichi's clothes for a precious few extra points of punching.

Also balance be damned, just let me have what moves I want, or AT LEAST just let me buy them or something, don't do this awful grind+trainer nightmare poo poo aaaaaaaah


I bought that game thinking it was just a new Tenkaichi-like and BOY IS THAT NOT THE CASE.

Legend of the Super Saiyan (and, from that one, I'm guessing all of that series from Kyushu! Saiyan forward) did exactly that, Power Level was an actual stat. Zenkai was also a mechanic, and those could be combined for hilariously glitchy results because Legend of the Super Saiyan is not a good game.

I would like this as just an option in DB fighting games, even though it would just be a stupid gimmick. It would also mean that Krillin would be a total badass since you could effectively combo solar flare and destucto disk on enemies that he otherwise could not damage at all.

Last Guardian is never coming out and World of Final Fantasy is supremely skipable.

Legend of the Super Saiyan is a funny lets play when absurdly broken, which makes it a passable game.

It is a bad, dumb game that's not really worth playing, but it has moments that are worth experiencing at least once.

Can we talk about how absurd and hilarious this episode was? I was talking to my brother about it, and he didn't seem to get it.

The best filler slice of life episode from any Dragon Ball ever.

e: Sorry to make people so mad.

Of course it is, but if you remove the episode, the only main story you'd miss is that Goku sneaks off with Berus and Whis to meet Zamasu.

And it takes all of 30 seconds to convey that part of the story. You don't even know until they're long gone.

The only point I was trying to make was that it was a slice of life episode rather than a meat and potatoes episode. Yeesh.

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.

In Dragonball, no one really cares. Hell, Piccolo, being kami, can visit him at King Yemma's palace.

If the Saiyan slowed aging thing is passed down in the same way as power level, according to dragonball bullshit genetics Gohan is going to live to be like 500 years old anyway.
