Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Yeah if you came to a Dragonball game for story purposes, you're going to have a bad time. It's about making your Mary Sue Super Saiyan and Dragon Punching Frieza right in the taint!

What would his signature moves be? "Old Man Grop" and "Run Away in Fear"? Maybe the "Yamcha Buster".

The Yamcha Buster used on anyone other than Yamcha is just a standard punch.

what I'd really like is for the game to not rehash the entire plot of dragon ball for the thousandth time but I realize that is impossible

rehashing the plot of dragonball as opposed to dragonball z would be a huge improvement though

I'm not expecting high art. I want the goofy Dragonball crossover game to be held to the standards of goofy crossover game. Like Dragonball Supersonic Warriors What Ifs? are way better. Where are my goofy stories about Krillin saving the world and Piccolo fusing with King Piccolo?

I thought the story was super boring. The gave up entirely on having even the faintest interest in timeline deviations so everyone is just "Oh no, (X) is more powerful! Plus Turles/Slug/Cooler is here too!" The first game wasn't great at it but it at least tried. The second one they don't even come up with new stuff just "what if Radditz dodged the Special Beam Cannon... again!?"

Also the use of "Masked Saiyan" is so bizarrely pointless.

This game's version of the Ginyu Force saga is hilarious, dude.

On the other hand, being like Supersonic Warriors would mean the third game would be a mediocre cashgrab from people who can do way better, and then get used for an even worse cashgrab from another franchise. I'll stick with this, as much as I loved Supersonic Warriors 2.

It's exactly the same as the last game's except Trunks get grabbed instead of your main character?

Like last game they actually went all out and showed Vegeta getting captured and then had a plot arc where your main character gets captured and you're stuck playing as Ginyu for a while. Here it's just "Hi, Trunks got captured offscreen! And now it's resolved!" Both the Saiyan and Namekian sagas in X2 are basically cliff note versions of the X1 one.

Toyotaro (Super manga artist) interview about Dragonball Super.
One interesting tidbit.

Is Xenoverse 2 the first Dragon Ball game to have Future Gohan on the boxart?

i think his strategy was "let gohan endure enough emotional abuse and trauma while casually a super saiyan so he'll snap and go to a totally other level".

But was it ever implied in the manga or anime if he could have defeated Cell on his own without Gohan and was just putting on a show?

ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
Nope, he states multiple times that he was fighting Cell at his maximum power level, and Cell was still holding back a lot.

I mean, he managed to sucker-punch Cell with the Warp Kamehameha and blew his head off which should have killed him under Cell's own stated rules, but aside from that, no.

They could have killed Cell at that moment, if anyone bothered to blast his legs rather than just stand around watching him regenerate.

the dumbest part of the cell fight was the cell jrs. like say goku and perfect cell were fairly close in strength. well theres no reason cell couldn't just pop out all 7 of them or w/e and then go 8v1. it was bizarre that they were like 75% of his strength or w/e and i disliked that even vegeta trunks and goku could barely keep up w/ 1 of them

From what I remember it pretty much showed everyone barely managing to keep up, even Yamcha. The Cell Jrs. were just weird in general.
