It was always meant to be blue.

Hell Dr. Briefs hair changed from blue to purple or was it the other way around? ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Slaythe]

More importantly, he's super saiyan 99% of the time, which makes bitching about it even more laughable.

Doesnt change the weak design/art though.
But it doesnt matter anyway. He's not in DB FighterZ.

 

[Fj0823]

You know, now that Im an adult my hair has changed from blonde to golden brown.

Maybe purple hair turns blue after a few years

Despite the actual reason is Toriyama making his new design to match Bulma, that's the most popular theory

I mean...it's in his genes

[BabyFaceKillah]

Damn didn't realize Bulma went through that many changes.

 

[Alienous]

I still think Toriyama doesn't watch the anime, recalled that they had turned Bulma's hair colour to blue in the anime, gave his Future Trunks redesign the same hair colour as his mother, and Toei took his design as gospel.

For the movies, where they weren't half-asleep when making them, they realized that Toriyama's design for Kid Trunks had to have his hair colour adjusted. So it must've been an oversight for Super.

Yeah that scarf and scruffy hair are really ruining the design, damn it !

Luckily the designs are so similar (despite what you think), that a costume for Trunks is most likely happening in DBFZ.

Well yes, they are. Also the physical build and artstyle.

I mean, I'm not even in the Super hate train since I follow it every week and enjoying current arcs. But it's true that in term of art, it's been on the downside.

 

[bumpkin]

that pose is totally from this

hawt damn

Which movie was that from?

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

Well yes, they are. Also the physical build and artstyle.

What? Art style varies between artists and episodes just like Z and his build is the same.

 

[Kilrogg]

Which movie was that from?

Movie #7, just before Broly. I forget the name, but it's the one with the androids.

 

[SargerusBR]

Which movie was that from?

Super Android 13

The current arc isn't really on the downside, for the record.

But as for Trunks, it's not like the Cell saga was perfect heh.

The art is whatever Arcsys makes it so that's a weird argument. They're not gonna use the worst references.

As for artstyle, that's how Trunks has looked in most modern incarnations, they haven't used the old Z chara design (specifically the hair) for anything in years, including Toriyama himself.

Eh, I wasnt even talking about the animation itself, but even then my point would stand. But you're right, it's been a trend since modern incarnations and Super design just make it worse.

And in any case, it seems ArcSys used the 90s aesthetic, thank god.

You're right, they wouldnt use the worst references, but even the official/good ones are worse than the Z one imo.

 

[Skab]

Man, August can't come soon enough. I need that beta.

Wait did they confirm August?

 

[trickyhero]

Do you guys think they will have costumes in this game? I know that it's not possible in Guilty Gear because of how they made it but is it possible they have changed their work flow any to allow it? I think it would be really awesome especially in this game characters have multiple outfits they wear throughout the series.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Man the lack of communication between Toei and Toriyama is ridiculous sometimes. One day Toei is going to ask Toriyama to draw a new Frieza form, Toriyama is going to misunderstand the request and draw an actual freezer household applicance, and Toei is going to take the design as gospel...

I mean, that's your opinion, I'm not here to tell you what to prefer.

But the modern Trunks and Super Trunks have close designs, so a costume is definitely an easy job since they have to close his jacket and add a scarf, tweak some of the details, colors, and call it a day.

It's less work than say, android 18 and 17 that would need completely different outfits.

 

[mas8705]

Last I can recall is that a Closed Beta was indeed confirmed for August, but no details have been given for it yet as for how to join in.

$20 says that after Arc's Sunday game, we are going to get details for another possible fighter (or a few more) and the announcement of that closed beta then.

Would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it. It would be like if Frieza got his Mecha form and then suddenly "Here comes Golden Frieza!" Probably will be kept as simple as possible like the character selection of keeping the characters in their base form or when they were at their peak (with Ultimate Gohan and Gotenks being the only exceptions I can think of).

Doubtful.

 

[RocBase]

Sorry to be a nag about this but where was the beta confirmed for August, I feel like there should've been a thread for this.

 

[Troubled Bat]

There hasn't been a confirmation date. Just that there would be a closed beta set in the summer.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

 

[lucebuce12]

AHHHHHHH AUGUST

 

[Lifejumper]

man i know im never getting in that beta.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Bamco UK with the random confirmation. lol But we have August!

 

[HardRojo]

Lol does Twitter have exclusivity rights for announcements regarding this game?

He does watch the anime, he just wanted to correct the anime's mistake : Bulma and Trunks having different hair color.

Because that's the thing, his Bulma and Trunks have PURPLE hair, both. He made Trunks' hair blue to fix their fuck up.

As for Future Trunks, you're wrong. The toei staff corrected him to have purple hair (early Yamamuro design, redrawing Toriyama's like he usually does), and he had purple hair in the early DB Heroes prototypes.

Which means Toriyama himself probably told them "stop fucking it up FFS" and they had to make it blue again (same Yamamuro artwork now features blue hair on the official character sheet).

 

[Zedox]

Seriously DBSuper trunks isn't that different from android saga trunks he just dyed his hair blue.

He's the exact same Trunks. Lolol. Just cuz he wanna change up the style to get that Mai poon poon and people hating. I say, go 'head young fella.

 

[Neoxon]

Well shit, gotta get ready to get in on the beta.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

But it doesnt matter anyway. He's not in DB FighterZ.

I don't get posts like this. They're the same character.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Doesnt change the weak design/art though.
But it doesnt matter anyway. He's not in DB FighterZ.

But.. he's the same character?

 

[Whales]

people are hating on dbs future trunks design?

Weird... Considering how better he looks in Super compared to Z

 

[Icyflamez96]

I don't get posts like this. They're the same character.

But.. he's the same character?

Talking about the design obviously.

 

[Asd202]

BOOM

 

[RocBase]

you came through!!!! cheers

 

[IntelliHeath]

Can't wait to sign up for Beta.

(More likely to not get chosen anyway )

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Just realized Goku doesn't have Spirit Bomb or Kaio. Unfinished moveset or is there gonna be another Goku?

 

[SargerusBR]

SOON

 

[TeamLeftMatch]

Just realized Goku doesn't have Spirit Bomb or Kaio. Unfinished moveset or is there gonna be another Goku?

I honestly believe there will be a base form goku, with that move set.

Spoiler

while adding the super saiyan spirit bomb from end of buu saga.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

When Goku starts charging the Spirit Bomb, he should stay on the field and remain stationary while his next teammate steps in and has to protect him until he's finished.

 

[Newboi]

I'm honestly curious as to who would be the final boss of this game?

 

[RocBase]

Can't wait to sign up for Beta.

(More likely to not get chosen anyway )

Honestly I'd be just as happy to watch pros go all out in this game, assuming livestreaming is a possibility.

 

[Fandangox]

I'm honestly curious as to who would be the final boss of this game?

Pilaf

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

I'm more worried about the Beta actually functioning. The beta for Xenoverse 2 was a disaster.

 

[TeamLeftMatch]

Beerus. Would make sense as one.

 

[RocBase]

Yikes...what happened?

Though I wouldn't worry about it not functioning, Arc's Xrd demo was great.

 

[Newboi]

On a separate note, I wouldn't mind seeing Uub and Tapion in the game.

 

[Neoxon]

I'm honestly curious as to who would be the final boss of this game?

Probably Beerus, maybe with Goku Black as a secret boss.

Just realized Goku doesn't have Spirit Bomb or Kaio. Unfinished moveset or is there gonna be another Goku?

Kaio-Ken's probably gonna be saved for Super Saiyan Blue. But yeah, the lack of Spirit Bomb is a bit weird, which would point towards the movesets of the currently-revealed characters being unfinished.
