Do pure blood saiyan's facial hair have the same set style like their hair? If so, Vegeta truly is a high class saiyan.

As someone who hates it when other people enjoy something that I don't, I totally get where they're coming from and recommend that all future Dragon Ball casting decisions are referred directly to me, DarKKakkarot420, before any one else.

I bet those TFS didn't even have their first fap to Bulma. Newbs. :colbert:

Names aren't reserved. Everyone can be just "Potato". I think it uses your gamertag or whatever if you actually intend to send any messages. It may also be like XXXX-12345, because I've seen like Potato(1421). I'll be getting it on Steam, and I don't know if you can change your gamertag of PSN ID for free... but you can on Steam, so if it's the first option, still good.
Consider that you don't need online to make your CaC, and then if you were to go online... what, would they ask you to change your name? It's been confirmed by people who currently have the game.

Here's a pretty okay Saiyan name gen: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/db-saiyan-names.php#.VJxz2_8EKA

You can't change your PSN ID at all, dosh or not. I wish you could though.

e: There's been rare instances where Sony have manually asked people to change theirs (probably racist names and such?) but they lost all their trophies in the process.

I have no problem with the DLC. New missions, characters, and costumes. What more could you want?

As long as they don't announce it several months in advance, have it be unlocked by a 100kb key and make it seem all but gouged out of the base game to sell later on, I'm okay with DLC.

The problem is that most games don't do that. I can't speak either way for this new DBZ one.

I can't imagine Xenoverse's sales being a huge part of deciding whether or not that game would come over. XV will probably do well here because a lot of people enjoy Dragonball and the Xbone/PS4 don't have a large library. The 3DS does though, so people are going to be less inclined to buy it on a whim to scratch an itch so they'll probably be looking at for an audience who want a 2D fighter on 3DS which isn't gonna be as big as XV's.

Krillin finally confirmed to be canonically the strongest human.

Grown-up Gohan is just a disappointment regardless of the medium he appears in. He was crappy in GT, he looks dumb in this. He was pretty good in the Buu saga, but I guess it doesn't count seeing as he was supposed to be 16.

This is quite literally #18's entire character after being spat out by Cell too.
It's quite actively frustrating to watch at points in the Buu saga where she's in Bulma's helicopter/jet and it's about to crash and she only realises with seconds to go she's actually a robot woman strong enough to kick the poo poo out of Super Saiyans and is actually bad-rear end.

Also the time where Krillin goes to distract Buu from chocolating everyone and then she does a runner with Marron only to be chocolate'd straight up anyway.

Yeah, that's what I seem to believe about them too though I can't place why or where I heard that.

It's not really a point of being about to damage and hurt Buu, just that she was by far the strongest person there and she's arguably the least useful of the people there.

Yamcha aside, naturally.

17 has a wife and kid too according to a Q+A thing in a volume, so their reproductive systems are real, and their brains are too probably.

Goku is kind of a prick to everyone who doesn't fight with him, really. He's an rear end in a top hat to Gohan quite often, he's pretty short with Goten. It's partly tough love, but he seems to do it inappropriately a lot of the time too. He seems to like Bulma way more than his wife. Then again, who doesn't like Bulma a lot more than Chi Chi?

I do kind of find it funny how he never went to King Kai or something to tell everyone that Majin Buu didn't murder Gohan so they don't have to worry about that and decided to just nap under a tree for the best part of a day.

The viewer is basically supposed to be Piccolo with regards to Gotenks.

Yeah, very much agreed, the problem is that it gets dragged out a bunch even in Kai and when something is meant to be annoying "ironically", so to speak, it stops being ironic and starts being just genuinely annoying.

I always liked Kid Trunks because he was an abhorrent little poo poo that would fight Vegeta for stuff like going to an amusement park.

Vegeta is easily the best dad as far as Saiyans go.

Vegeta apologised for decking Trunks by taking him to the park. Goku apologised for doing it to Gohan by being aloof as gently caress about Cell in general and then forcing Gohan into a battle to the death with him, giving Cell a Sensu and then getting himself killed so he wouldn't have to be a dad to Gohan and abandoning his pregnant wife.

Per the wiki, Gohan is 27 as of Revival of F.

The wiki might be listing dub ages, so knock 3 or 4 years off, maybe? He's 10 when he kills Cell in the Japanese dub.

I actually quite like that he uses Goku's gi later in the Buu arc, but if there was ever a time for him to use it, it probably should have been the Cell fight where the whole theme was "surpassing Goku" and he looked neat as hell in it in the movie where he's Teen Gohan. (Bojack maybe?)

Josuke Higashikata

Isn't part of the reason that Goku tells Gohan that they're going to stay in Super Saiyan forever except when sleeping so that they can get used to the emotional instability of Super Saiyan in addition to the energy expenditure?

I'm not sure why people call that "full power" mode though because whenever they fight again after learning how to do that they get mad as hell and and start charging up.

Is Gohan still supposed to be stronger than Goku and Vegeta at this point? Or did his lack of training make him lose his Ultimate powers?

It's pretty arguable if Ultimate Gohan was ever stronger than Goku at all.

The same Goku who literally states several times "Oh, I could have beaten (Fat and Kid) Buu but I wanted to give the young 'uns/Vegeta a chance."
It also flip-flops between Kid Buu being more powerful than Super Buu or not pretty often outside of Kid Buu being a ruthless poo poo.

Being Goku is overpowered, basically.

And there's literally never been any question as to if Super Buu was stronger than Kid Buu, because he was. It's basic math.

Sure, if you ignore characters like Kibitokai and Goku straight up saying Kid Buu is stronger, there is no question. I prefer the Super Buu = Stronger, Kid Buu = psycho to the point where he's more dangerous theory, but considering the source itself contradicts itself like crazy, there's plenty of boring old questions regarding it.

Guldo could slap the poo poo out of Nappa even without using any fancy time stopping or psychic powers. Just the image of that is endlessly amusing.

Even Raditz looked really loving buff and strong but was on the same tier as those helmet wearing frieza goons with the arm blasters.

Hahaha power levels and such, but those goons are actually rated higher than Raditz on the scouters. Raditz is the Yamcha of the Saiyan race.

To be fair Goku was still shittier than Raditz when they first fought. If he hadn't died maybe he'd have gotten better. I mean his dad and brother bother became Super Saiyans, he clearly had some good genetics there!

I would say you could argue that Goku gets a bit of a pass because he bonked his head and forgot how to be a Saiyan, but then I remembered that he lives to fight regardless, so yeah, maybe Raditz would have had an upside if he wasn't Raditz.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to sell XV2 featuring Revival of F content?

XV won't be getting a sequel for 2 or 3 years even if it does get one, at which point that movie will be 2 or 3 years old naturally. They'll make money on DLC for it though so that'd definitely the best option for them I'd imagine.

That said, I'm sure they're amazed at how well XV has done so XV 2 is probably going to happen. Hope the character creation is much better though. It's okay for Frieza's if you want a final form one, but everything else is pretty limited. All of the hair cuts for Humans/Saiyans are garbage.

Dragon Ball is neat, recently hit a notable anniversary at 30 years, and probably does well enough to carry on making things for even if it's not a barn burner in 2015. There probably aren't many people who hate Dragon Ball, and after 30 years, there are plenty of people who will see it and get nostalgia and take interest again for a while.
