I've been playing Battle of Z for a while. I finally got tired of trying the mission that unlocks SSJ 3 Goku and quit for the night. Mystic Gohan is the best character I've got so far.

I finally unlocked all the characters in Battle of Z! :toot: I found that the best strategy for some of the worse missions is to just play them offline and team yourself up with three customized Android 18s on defense mode. You'll rarely ever have to worry about knockouts. Mission 58 however is impossible unless you play online.

Eventually, even Goku would learn to stop using energy blasts.

I remember an episode of GT with Super Shoulders 17 who could absorb energy the same way 19 and 20 could. Goku's plan was to constantly shoot kamehamehas at it then try and blow himself up.

I think that's what does it for me, in regards to Goku vs Cell. The moment Goku gets serious after the warm ups, and Trunks catches the tone of the battle immediately shifting, it's awesome. At this point, Cell knows that power wise, Goku couldn't beat him, but skill wise he is right up there. So he was enjoying the hell out of the fight.

Goku vs. Cell is among the best.


edit: awesome kick

Heroes is a weird game with a lot of bizarre What-If stuff that honestly would make all of the DBZ games a lot more enjoyable to play through.

I agree and am always bewildered about how people get all pissy about the game's version of the original story. Who cares about the original story, throw something new at us!

Stuff like Angel Cop and some of the other series I found in the "related videos" section (Mad Bull, Cyber City, Psycho Diver; I've never heard of these series before because my knowledge of anime in general is pretty limited) were pretty clearly aimed at an older audience. I was thinking more along the lines of fansubbers cramming a bunch of swearing into brightly-coloured shonen schlock because they want it to be for adults.

Chip and Ironicus has two parts of Mad Bull up on their site and it's pretty funny.

Learned a couple of days ago that all of the DBZ movies are on YouTube, except for Battle of the Gods apparently. Watching Wrath of the Dragon, it's striking just how quickly everyone other than Goku gives up. It's a pretty consistent theme throughout the series, really: Bad guy shows up, Goku's not there, everyone else tries to fight, get hit like twice, groan to themselves "we tried our best!" and then collapse. Gohan's especially terrible about this. At least Vegeta, Goten and Trunks usually have the dignity to get knocked out instead of just admitting defeat.

Edit: Unrelated, but I don't think I've heard one suggestion so far in this movie that they get the giant monster out of the densely-populated city.

I don't remember but did Piccolo even bother to show up?

One thing I did like about the Piccolo absorption was now Buu knew how Gohan fought, since Piccolo had a great hand in his overall training. I thought that was a nice detail.

I like the way Buu was playing mind games with Gohan too. Bringing up how "Goten really thought you would save him" or "Piccolo knows you're better than this".

The Budokai games (Infinite World included) were straight-up DBZ fighting games, while the Tenkaichi series and everything related to it are more "DBZ simulators". In spite of the similar English titles they're pretty much Appules and oranges. Each game has its ups and downs, but not really fair to compare the series.

That said, B3 and BT3 are the ones I have the most nostalgia for. The B3 opening song is practically scarred into my mind. And BT3 has... something else scarred in there. :shepicide:

I think BT3 or maybe BT2 also had this gem as pre fight taunts

How much filler did DBZ jam in, though? Compared to modern anime I feel like it only did a couple episodes at a time, and that one article about "when the manga was ending" theories implies the lead from manga to anime wasn't exactly that large. A couple weeks ahead, maybe?

15 year old me would rather have some excess grunting and over explanation as compared to a fullbringer bount arc, for example.

I remember there being quite a bit but it was never as terrible as loving Bleach's filler.

I guess that's what Multiverse is for.

My main memory of History of Trunks is the music, especially the one looped on the DVD menu which is also used at the beginning when Goku dies, and I think there was another track which was the "in the rain looking for dead Gohan" theme.

The music for the Trunks movie was done by Dream Theater from their Metropolis Act 2 album. At least it was in the US. It was pretty great to me in middle school.

e: wait, it was more than just Dream Theater because I remember a rap song being in the credits too. I remember History of Trunks entirely too much.
