I thought for a second this is the android port trailer lol

 

[CallmeBerto]

Man, I can't wait for this to drop!!

 

[JuanMena]

Amazing.

But still hold my opinion towards muricam dub... it makes it sound like a parody.
I've played Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in Japanese and that's all just screams... barely tolerable.

Bandai should really invest in other dubbing options, Mexico, for example, as my country has been dubbing the Anime since the 80s.
I really don't understand why Bandai wouldn't spend couple thousands to deliver a proper dubbed experience for the LatinAmerican market.

When you've been hearing familiar voices for near the entirety of your life, hearing beloved characters with different voices makes the whole game experience really hard to tolerate.

Were is Android 21 i want her

SS2 FORM's OST IS HERE
HYPE IS REAL

FUCK ITS NOT INCLUDED

These Sparking! ZERO DBZ trailers have been absolutely amazing, it focuses on what made Dragon Ball Z so great and so much fun to watch. I can't wait to see what the trailer of Majin Boo arc will be like.

Love they always use an anime BGM, and this time it was Tamashii VS Tamashii.

Were is Android 21 i want her

That's new content not related to the DBZ series.

Dragon Ball dubs are something too specific so fans would complain it's missing this or that, so instead there's Japanese audio + your language, or the English dub + your language.

Don't like that? That's too bad, make a mod of it on PC with the dub voices you prefer. Sparking! METEOR fans have done so with their country's dub.

"OST is not included in the game"
I got hyped for nothing, I didn't see that mention.

 

[Darth Meteos]

made me sad

Surely they'll include an Anime Music Pack as DLC (happened to other games). It'd make the game even better.

I love playing Sparking! METEOR with the anime music.

 

[Asia81]

same as the latest naruto, a dlc pack with original french voices would be so welcomed

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

Were is Android 21 i want her

Definitely DLC. Get ready

"Android 21"? ...Isn't the correct term for a feminine robot "gynoid", though...?

Eh, no-one cares but me.

would've been fucking awesome if we actually get it in the actual game, one of the best dragon ball songs ever

The android term is a dubbism, in Japanese, 13 to 21 are all known as jinzōningen, which translates to artificial human.

Agreed, but the loose term "Android" gets the job done it's not like anyone's going to argue too much about it.

Here's an example of how Androids and Artificial Humans differ:

Androids are robots built to resemble humans. The level of "similitude" may vary, but usually any robot roughly shaped like a human is considered an android. Androids may even have biological parts, grafted on to them, but their "core" is artiificial. For example, Terminators are androids, as they can function without their flesh.

Artificial Human is rather a broad concept. Clones are technically "artificial humans", as are some advanced androids. Cyborgs, on the other hand, are for the most part regular humans modified with cybernetic implants, so they are not "artificial humans".

Here's an example of how Androids and Artificial Humans differ:

And that's exactly why I said "no-one cares but me" - because the masculine term, like a lot of others, has been gender-neutralised for some time now, even though it's not technically correct.

Fear the worst for this game. Stupid DB super ugh. slower combat. nothing pushing the envelope. I think BT3 will still reign supreme.

Have you tried Raging Blast 2? I remember enjoying it a lot (and completed it like 2 or 3 times).

What I disliked about RB2 was the "plasticky" graphics though I got used to it.

 

[Xalusc]

The English dub makes me cringe every time, but good trailer overall.
They did not need to make Cell Jr. playable. Good to know they're going above and beyond, true to BT fashion.

Good to see Goku (Mid) and Super Vegeta, too
