Realtalk: If you haven't watched Dragon Ball Z, watch Dragon Ball Z Kai. If you watched Dragon Ball Z on Toonami as a teenager like me, watch Dragon Ball Z Kai. In Kai, they take DBZ and cut out all the crappy filler. For comparison's sake DBZKai's Frieza arc is about 25 episodes from the point where they are journeying to Namek to the end. The original DBZ arc was about 75 episodes.

Basically Dragon Ball Z Kai is the Dragon Ball Z you think you remember.

Also, listen to the "All Systems Goku" companion podcast that Jeff Gerstmann and Dan Ryckert of Giant Bomb are doing. They just got to the point where they met the Ginyu Force.

Totally correct. Found out my roommate hasn't seen dbz yesterday. Told him to watch Kai. Super is the best dragonball property though, foreal.

Super Mario Bros 3

All Systems Goku is very good. I watched through Kai with my niece and she's in love (she wants to be Bulma for Halloween and wants me to, somehow, be Piccolo). We're also caught up to Super's dub and part way through the original Dragonball. We'll start Abridged soon.

What I'm trying to say is Earth has Goku, and Goku has us.

Put a recruit in T.G. recruit or PM a mod and see if it's ok. DBZ would probably pull in a few apps and new players.

Nope, not at all. You barely need to understand mafia.

Sal's right though, it'll help a little and the game will be more enjoyable if you know what's up with the flavour.

Last DBZ game involved a lot of flavour arguments (that were 100% worth having and useful), so take that for what you will, but this one will probably be less so.

Android Saga in a nutshell:
Goku hasn't returned to earth after defeating Frieza on Namek, but everyone on earth is chilling anyhow.

Time traveling future Trunks goes back in time to warn earth about the androids that are coming to kick their teeth in.

Goku eventually shows up and is like oh what's up. Some weird aliens tought me how to travel across time and space by focusing my god like powers. NBD.

Oh, and Frieza whom Goku defeated has become a cyborg seeking revenge.

Trunks is just like w.e. and kills him with a sword and some gang signs, and is like yeah yeah that was cool and all, but these androids are coming.

I mean his timeline is forever boned, but good on him for preventing the same, but w.e. time travel

Goku has a heart disease suddenly. Something about a cure and him dying

Androids come and kick in teeth.

Vegeta cries because as Prince of the Saiyans he should have been the legendary super Saiyans and yadda dadda.

Future trunks has daddy issues, vegeta is his daddy. The issues are understandable.

He gets time to bond though in the time chamber where they get really buff to prepare for the ultimate Android menace cell.

Krillin the best character in the series marries one of the androids somewhere. She's ok. They even have a baby and he grows a mustache. It's a whole thing.

Cell is like a weird bio bug droid man who absorbs the other androids through his butt horn tail whip thing.

It's a weird appendage.

Cell gets strong after nomming

Everyone else is not strong enough.

P. Much full on in cell saga by now? Maybe I'm missing some crucial plot elements.

Goku is dead and channels his spirit through Gohan who is also obv a super saiyan.

Also with the blood of goku, still superior to vegeta. At least at this point
.

And that's the androids and cell saga.

As I remember it from about 15 years ago or w.e.
