It's weird that they combined Goku's canon TV show forms into one character but made Super Saiyan 4 Goku and base GT Goku separate. And why in the heck would they even make Frieza and Cells 100% forms separate instead of just power-up forms like all the super saiyan characters?

OT a little soon? Unless we are talking about importers.
The game isn't even up on PSN in Japan yet...

Put it as Videl for now and I'll just wait and see, thanks.
I'll probably choose a Saiyan first too but I think that Freeza's race could be very interesting, from what we've seen it looks like the spikes, horns, etc... are all costume pieces as opposed to chosen at the start so the customisation on them could be a lot of fun.
I believe the rule of thumb is the day before the game releases so i thought I'd throw this up.

yea im wondering the same. most likely for advetising purposes, increases the roster count and all. anyway I think im gonna play as that frieza race or buu. can't wait for this game! oh and i just wanna share my opinon on ssj4 and ssj god or w/e. ssj4>god. god form is just like that red form that goku used to have before he went ssj. :/ really lazy imo. they should make ssj4 canon imo.
Well it's the 5th in Japan, rules specify that thread creation is allowed on the day of it's first release (which in this case is Japan) I believe?
Should be on PSN in Japan later today I'd imagine.

Cause they're ensuring the quality, which usually means they're not doing a damn thing.

Yes, Buu is fat but you can choose height and weight options (makes Majins more or less fat as opposed to thin, makes the others look more or less muscular) for all races so not necessarily short.
The female Majin is thin though.

I can't tell. Did Mystic Gohan or Majin Vegeta make it?
I saw a short fat blue buu that looked like the green guy from the Ginyu Force in one of the streams lol.
Also saw a Yellow guy who looked like the Frieza race lol.

Mystic Gohan is in, he's called 'Ultimate Gohan' as has been for a few years now. We've not seen Majin Vegeta yet but the characters this time around have a lot of costumes so there might be a costume variation for Vegeta which is Majin Vegeta.
Ultimate Gohan is in as a transformation. We do not know if Majin Vegeta is in yet (Vegeta has about 9 alts, each alt has a different move set so it's possible Majin Vegeta is one of these alts).

Great! Thanks for the help.
I actually had no idea Mystic Gohan was called Ultimate. My DBZ lore is lacking now.

Oh finally Ultimate is a transformation.

I'm so nervous about this. Last DBZ game I loved was Asura's Wrath....and before that was Budokai 3. Only anime series that had me impressed since in the game department was the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games. But this looks like the best attempt yet...i freshly didn't like Tenkaichi. Only the Wii version of the 3rd Tenkaichi was ok and even then it felt random and wonky and lacked depth. I've held off ever since hoping they'd return to form. I did get the HD Budokai collection however. But this looks great from a distance.
Does US get a steelbook preorder bonus also???

This thousands time
SSJ4 is so awesome it makes me sad he is not canon I mean this transformation makes perfect sense Goku finally controlling the immense power of the great ape sounds like a logical conclusion to goku's power up transformations yet they made that shit ass God mod transformation:/
Only at Gamestop from what I read and they're all gone apparently. :/

Oh that's just dandy smh...
Gamestop + Powerup Rewards exclusive. I don't know how they'd track that though.
It could be a similar situation to Kingdom Hearts 1.5 where the store receives more than enough copies to cover the preorders and maybe a few extra for other reserves.

So no Cell imperfect or semi perfect?

Well he became the strongest non fused character by the end of the Buu Saga, and he did embarrass Super Buu and survived Buutenks long enough for Gotenks to diffuse. He just had a case of POS and not only missed the Potara earring, but got absorbed as well.
Poor Gohan.

Can't find a video but it's part of the hub world, you go to a counter and select what kind of online match you want to play. That's all I remember from the Network Test.
They said they were targeting 1080/60 on next gen but we probably wont know until DF gets their hands on it. Well, if they bother with games like this.

Oh, feels weird that they're missing since both were in almost every game until now. :/
If you're getting a PS4 next month, I'd just say wait regardless, it isn't out til the end of Feb in English so might as well either get the PS4 version then and wait til you get a PS4 or buy it with your PS4.

thats sooo lame man. I don't want to play as a fat ass majin. frieza race it is then. also sucks only the sayians get a transformation.
majins should've gotten a kid version, frieza race could've gone all muscular like 100% frieza. glad I'm not the only one who feels like this. my 3rd favorite in the series is actually ssj4 gogeta, he's a beast.
no actually, Frieda clan and nnamekian are single sex.

Okay fine I'll get the Japanese version, and then the PC version when it drops.
You got me, NB. Anyone gonna stream it tomorrow night? I'll do so if nobody else wants to.

This game touches on GT but not really any of the movies so movie content isn't in there very much sans the hidden character,
Broly
Because they prioritized other characters/forms instead for this game. People wanted GT so we got SSJ4 Gogeta instead of the Z roster being more complete than it is. That and the movies weren't really a focus for this game.
Shame they couldn't do both..
I won't buy a game where it misses a lot of cool characters. There are even a lot of GT characters missing then.
Also why no Adult Gohan SSJ only Ultimate?

Ssj4 Gogeta is my second favorite (first is Gohan) man Gogeta ssj4 was so freakin badass he only uses his legs to fight, omega Shenron got wrecked during the few minutes Goku and vegeta were fused boy I miss him so much and he is the reason am buying this game

Wasn't this cause fans wanted more goku?
EGOMON

Same here bro I am a big Gohan fan still salty to this day that Gohan got ignored after the cell saga even though he became the strongest of all Z fighters just by raw power no fuckin transformation. I love Goku but Toriyama should have given Gohan a more prominent role on the series after that amazing display of power against Cell

Hmm I put some money down for a preorder for it from Gamestop but I didn't know there was a steelbook. I hope I get one
Anyone know if they still have those crazy ultimate attacks like in Budokai 3 that would show a part of the planet being destroyed from an explosion or a beam emanating from the planet? Always loved that stuff lol. Hope it's in here
The goal of this game for the devs was to make it feel like you were performing the combat/actions so cutscenes are far and few within actual battles -- supers generally just have special camera angles that only affect you and the other player doesn't see them. They wanted to keep the battles moving and not pause for a cutscene for any length of time.
So, even though planet destruction isn't actually deconfirmed it's likely not in for the reasons above.
If you're in the US, the "pre-order" bonuses are basically in every first print copy of the game. We don't know how many copies there will be of this "Day 1 Edition" but I can't imagine it'll be hard to find or acquire. If you're in Europe, though, they are actually pre-order bonuses and not part of a "Day 1 Edition" print of the game.
So in other words, a physical pre-order from Amazon if you're in the US will guarantee you the bonuses because every copy on release day should be the Day 1 Edition which includes SSJ 4 Vegeta and the two armor pieces for the CaC. I don't know the situation very well in Europe, like where you have to pre-order to get them just that in EU you have to pre-order to get them while in US you just need to buy the first run of the game.
IHaveIce said:
If you won't buy a game because of the roster there's a chance we might not even get another game as good as this is looking. I know that's a bad reason to buy a game but Bamco has been a little... well... awful in the handling of the DBZ franchise with respect to game quality over the last 5 years and this is like the first one that looks like actual effort was put into it. But I understand not buying it if it doesn't have any characters you like to play as.
That said, to answer your other question we still don't know what all the transformations are for every character yet -- the roster in the OP is based off a Japanese guidebook (not a strategy guide) and was translated from 2ch. So, we're not sure who has what forms 100% and Adult Gohan is one of those. We know he has Ultimate because we've seen it in videos already but we haven't seen if he has SSJ or SSJ2 available. I'd think he would but then there's lots of things I thought they'd have for this game but they don't (like how Gotenks actually doesn't have his SSJ form and only his SSJ3 form is in it).
I think the reason some forms simply aren't in is because of the way they handled transformations in this game. You have to equip them and because there's only two slots for ultimates and transformations take up ultimate slots it would be really limiting if you had to have SSJ to transform into SSJ2. As a result, they decided to make it so that wasn't a requirement and that as long as you have SSJ2 equipped that's what you can transform into. They applied this to the official Z characters so we have stuff like Teen Gohan as SSJ only and no base form, for example, because he needs SSJ2 and the ability to still use Father-Son Kamehameha. And then we have Gotenks as an example who starts out in his base form and he has his SSJ3 transformation so you just have that equipped and then he can just transform straight into SSJ3 instead of requiring SSJ first.
That's what I've observed, anyway. Nothing confirmed because no one's unlocked everything yet.
