Sparking Zero has customization within clothing sets having different moves and items are back. The downside that the game is series accurate, so OP characters will be OP in game.

Nice! Hopefully we can have some cool Krillin outfits and different moves! I want his outfit from Battle of Gods & his taco shirt. Or Krillin in his gi with his DBS hair. Maybe one of them will give the Solar Flare×100 and other moves. I definitely want Krillin's DBS: Super Hero outfit. I want other outfits for other characters too like Videl's BoG outfit, Roshi's Jacki Chun outfit, Piccolo's RR soldier outfit, ect ect.

Regarding OP characters being OP... shoot, that's an upside for me! Imagine schooling someone as an Earthling & they throw a fit. Picking a less powerful character and winning will be a flex.

I used to do all kinds of strategies and combines as Krillin against my brother who played as Goku. Then after a few hits, our health was even lol. He's a better gamer than me, but I was just a better strategist. But those were our mains. So if he picked Vegeta or Piccolo or Gohan (anyone that isn't Goku or one of his fusions) & I picked Krillin, I'd win with strategy. But if I picked a different character, there is a higher chance of me losing against my big bro lol.

So imagining fighting against a god level character from DBS as an Earthling. Extremely challenging. But I'm the kind of guy who doesn't mind losing over and over so I can get better. If I can hang with a god character as a mere human, doesn't matter if I lose. I just proved I could beat them if we were at the same power level. And if I do beat them, no need to brag.

Remember the quotes I posted on the earthling positive chat? What did you think of the characters saying that the Earthlings of T.P can be very strong to the point that they actually having a faint sense of God Ki, that's actually said by Beerus, Whis and Zamasu, if your character is a earthling. Frieza thinking about destroying Earth if more powerful Earthlings revolt against him, Hit changing his thoughts about Earthlings being weak to begin resourceful and cunning. Good stuff yeah?😶

Sorry for taking so long to get to this, bud. I think it's pretty cool and actually makes sense.

God ki is a high level of control of your ki. And since there have been humans with the role of God of Earth before Kami & Dende (Dende has a hint of god ki in both the DBS Anime and Manga), it's possible for humans to tap into that kind of power. However, there is a difference in the power of a lowly god in comparison to a Kaio or GoD like Beerus. I always go back to this, but Krillin's Non-Self State is an example of of an Earthling having some God Ki. Not to the level of Goku or Vegeta who were trained. But similar to a God of Earth who Krillin already eclipses in power. So an Earthling Time Patroller would be the same.

That is very much in character for Freeza to want to destroy Earth is there are too many that can challenge him lol. If most Earthlings became as strong as the Earthling Z Fighters during the Saiyan Saga, they would be stronger than majority of Saiyans who existed. Freeza feared the Saiyans, so being who have better control of their ki would be a threat he would seek to eliminate.

And Hit is right. Earthlings can be powerful, but other aliens have power as a natural advantage. So being cunning & resourceful is what Earthlings have to rely on rather than a built in ability to transform or quickly multiply their power some other way. Good observation from Hit.

HOW TO IMPLEMENT NON-SELF STATE IN XENOVERSE 3

This is in response to this post where I asked @futuristicbouquetdeer-451f4dcf a question, then I forgot to reply to his answer. 😓

*MY QUESTION* 👇

*SOME OF HIS REPLIES* 👇

So, I figured I'd make a response with a post instead & add some visuals.

Now, idk much about statistics and stuff for Xenoverse 2, so I did a bit of research for comparison. And after looking at stats for Awoken Skills, I also think it would be similar to Potential Unleashed. But, I'd make NSS (short for Non-Self State) an Earthling only ability that performs this way;

STATS FOR NON-SELF STATE📊

Ki Cost: 200

Strike Attack Mod: +12.5%

Blast Attack Mod: +12.5%

Strike Defense Mod: +5%

Blast Defense Mod: +5%

Ki Generation: +60%

Effects: +5% Increased Speed, -3% Stamina Drain

Non-Self State would be a transformation exclusive to Krillin & human created characters. This transformation would only be acquired from training under Krillin. The final test would be facing hordes of enemies until you defeat a certain amount, then you will access Non-Self State. NSS would be the best Earthling transformation that is comparable to Potential Unleashed. It's almost as good but not quite.

For comparison; NSS has weaker Attacks than Potential Unleashed, but has the same Defenses. The Ki Cost of NSS is lower than Potential Unleashed & the ki regeneration is better than Potential Unleashed. However, there is a stamina drain for NSS while Potential Unleashed does not have this drawback.

FOR KRILLIN 🌰⠿

When Krillin uses NSS, he calmly transforms into the form, then has dialogue where he proclaims "Control my energy and mind." & "This is the new me!" & "Let's go!"

Attacks unique to Krillin when using this form;

Selfless Strike: A dash attack with low Super Armor. If the attack connects, Krillin will perform a powerful explosive punch.

Selfless Kamehameha: A stronger form of Krillin's Kamehameha. If you have enough energy, the Super Attack can be pressed again when the attack connects for a second sequence where Krillin puts more power into the attack.

Solar Flare ×100: Krillin performs a Solar Flare attack that lasts twice as long. Just like regular Solar Flare, if sunglasses are equipped, the attack isn't effective.

Solar Flare Fake-out: Krillin prepares for a Solar Flare, but fires a barrage of ki blasts instead.

Destructo Disk Triple Blade: Krillin throws one large disk that splits into 3 smaller disks. Krillin has a small window where he can gaurd or perform strike/blast attacks. Then if the Super Attack input is pressed again within a short time frame, the 3 disks will track the opponent. (If the Kienzan come back at Krillin, he will automatically use Afterimage to dodge them at the cost of some stamina.)

Quick Evade: Krillin creates a purple ki blast and quickly throws it at hid opponent. If it connects, it causes a bit of damage along with a cloud of smoke.

LASTLY...

I agree with more customizable hairstyles, facial features, & clothes! Also Saiyan tails that actually move and wiggle around. I would also like to change the colors of clothing you get from other characters. Like if your CaC is wearing Goku's gi, they can change the orange to yellow. And it would be cool to make a character like Goku wear an alternate color for his gi. And I hope we get transformations for Namekians. I'm pretty sure we will tho since Piccolo got his transformations.

So, you play Dragonball: Xenoverse 2? I remember how said the races are the difficulty of game, which is a little funny given how Xenoverse works. They are different gam mechanics depending on your character's gender, but I'll explain that after the question.

Saiyans have low health, but high attack power. Attack power rises when health is low, all stats rise after reviving. Saiyans obviously have the most transformations in game with different functions. (Different abilities depends on gender.)

Majins have high defense, but low stamina recovery. Defense bonus when stamina is maxed. Stats differ by gender. Purification is the only Majin transformation, which basically makes the OC a Kid Buu clone. (Different abilities depends on gender.)

Earthlings have balanced stats for both offense and defense. Ki refills automatically and attack rises when maxed. Earthlings ride on the flying Nimbus with the Power Pole as a weapon! It's honestly the worst transformation in the game, even with a specific Super Soul that gives it Super Armor. (Different abilities depends on gender.)

Namekians has low attack, but high health and stamina refills quickly. Items are more effective than other races and health is regenerated when low. Namekians has the ability to become a giant swating fighters and shooting diff ranged mouth beams. Duration time depends on how high your stamina stat is.

Finally, the Frieza Race can overpower with fast movement, but they have low health. Their stamina recovers while attacking and their movements speed increases as their health lowers. Frieza Race beings obviously turn Golden.

I honestly made a character of each race. 3 Earthlings, 2 Saiyans, 1 Frieza race, 1 Namekian and 1 female Majin!😶

Well I used to play. I haven't played in years. But I am familiar with the series pretty well still.

Yeah I thought about Xenoverse when I made that post (link here for those who may not know what post is being referenced).

It works a bit differently in the games than what it does in canon but thats for balance sake. But its pretty good for the most part. Especially with Earthlings being balanced. But yeah... The Earthling "transformation" is pretty wack. I'd like to see in a future update or in Xenoverse 3 that the Earthlings learn Non-Self State/ Selflessnes State from Krillin as a power up ability. But that's wishful thinking. I doubt they will do that. There isnt much effort focused on humans in DB content.

Nice! I used to have... 3 Earthlings, 1 Saiyan, 1 Freeza race, 1 Namekian, 1 Female Majin.

Now I'm gonna ask you a question. What would you like to see in Xenoverse 3 in regards to races you can play as, power ups/transformations, and story?

[sweetescapeartist]

First off , I apologized for the back to back question since you got a lot on your plate(Happy Thanksgiving!👍😶), so I'm make this quick on the topic of Xenoverse 2! I'm just point out what Krillin, Tien and Yamcha dialogue when they're training Earthlings. Krillin just compliment give the character about how they have a lot a talent and it's makes him happy to someone masters his attacks. Tien talks about how his training is twice as strict to keep up with the other races and solely focus on your progression to be great martial artist. And with Yamcha, he takes great pride about how you're doing Earth proud and talks about taking you traveling with him if you got time.😶

I meant to answer this on thanksgiving day. 😅

(Thanks and hope you had a good one too!)

That's all very in character for them too. Krillin motivates your spirit with compliments, Tien wanting to draw out your potential as much as he can, and Yamcha motivates you too but in Yamcja fashion, he wants to relax and takenyou on the trip with him. (Which is very fitting for him since Toriyama that Yamcha works as a freelance bodyguard. Meaning he travels to different places often.)

Would be interesting if they ever made a game where you can learn from Chi-Chi. She'd tell you to make sure you have a job and dont just fight all the time lol

For the pass 2 weeks, I've been thinking about Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien and Chaotzu in the Street Fighter universe. At first it was because of shipping dynamics, ( Imagine Yamcha x Juri Han, and I tried thinking of some ways for Krillin x Chun-Li) but the Z-Fighters would be around other actual martial artists! Like Tien fighting Gen is the main idea I've saw, but I need other mind to share this idea.😶 ( If you're familiar with the lore and characters of Street Fighter)

I may not know a whole lot about Street Fighter lore, but I know enough. But the Z Fighters would have to be nerfed. Instead of Yamcha being able to casually blow up a planet, he'd to be stronger than Bora who is stronger than Mr. Satan. And Goku would be of similar strength to Ryu.

Well for 1... We had the same idea about Yamcha x Juri 😂 (it would be an interesting dynamic.)

Yamcha would probably remain a bandit for the most part, but becomes a good guy. He'd wander the globe in a similar way that Ryu does. His interraction with Juri would be her toying with him while he tries to keep his cool. So a crazy lady with a reformed bandit. Always at odd but they save each other whenever the other is in danger. Maybe it kinda resembles a Batman/Catwoman kind of relationship.

And I think Tenshinhan fighting Gen is cool since both are former assassins. Maybe gave Gen help Tien leave the path of the assasin or they are simply 2 former assassins meeting in combat. Tenshinhan vs Sagat would be something cool to see too. And Chaozu could be kinda a zombie character since he's based off of Jiangshi. Maybe his life force is mystically tied to Tien through a special item. (Gameplay wise, this would make Chaozu part of Tenshinhan's moveset.)

Chun-Li and Chi-Chi knowing each other would be neat. A sisterhood bond between the two. Coupd even say Ox Ming was old friends with Chun-Li's father many years ago. (But having all these characters somehow know each other could seem contrived if done wrong.) I also feel like Videl and Karen would be rivals, while Videl & Sakura would be friends. Not sure how Bulma would fit into it besides being the rich friend. She'd be Karen but without the combat.

As for Krillin x Chun-Li? That could happen. They date for a while but later the relationship ends once Chun-Li leaves Interpol. And then there could be the story about Gero being the scientist for M. Bison & creates the Dolls. So Krillin, Cammy, and others help free some of the dolls which include 17 & 18.

I also think it would be cool if Roshi and Oro are old friends. And maybe Gouken was once friends with Grampa Gohan. And Gouken's students were friendly rivals against Roshi's students. Ryu & Ken vs Goku & Krillin, trying to see which school has better techniques. Ryu & Goku would both have the Satsui no Hado ( to try to control. Ken & Krillin would have the Kyoi no Hado ("Surge of Mindless Intent")/ Mu no Ken ("Fist of Nothingness") before Ryu & Goku, but Ken & Krillin's mastery of it would be less after Ryu & Goku master the Satsui no Hado/ Mu no Ken. Which fits well with Goku's name meaning "Awaken to Nothingness." It can resemble Ultra Instinct. Which Krillin's Non-Self State is essentially a lower level of power similar to UI.

Vegeta would have been succumbed by the power of the Satsui no Hado like Akkuma.

As for how other DBZ villains would fit in this? Maybe Freeza & Cell are experiments? Freeza was an ancient experiment that was once a ruler and recently awoken from a slumber? Maybe Cell is a recent creation of Gero & M. Bison that strictly follows orders? And Majin Buu is a stolen copy of Twelve that was altered by magic?

Not sure how to incorporate alien characters into SF. But someone like Piccolo could be a human who's body altered due to a special environment he grew up in. And since his clothing is Indonesian inspired, he could train under Dhalsim to explain why he has stretchy limbs. Then he went rogue then came back to his senses.

Kinda went more into it than I intended. 😅 I just like the idea of certain crossovers a lot.

But the coolest thing is that with the upcoming SF6, we can create DB characters if we want to! The character customization in that game looks amazingly in depth!

Also, DB x MK is a fun concept to me too. I've even done some fan art a few years ago.

While reading stuff on the Dragon Ball wiki, I learned that Vegeta really hate the idea of Saiyans breeding with other races because it'll ruin the pride of Saiyans. Honestly explain why he hated Trunks for the most part.😶

Yeah. Makes sense.

Since Trunks did not have an over abundance of pride in his strength like a Saiyan, Vegeta didnt like that about him. But once Trunks stepped up to Vegeta and attacked him, Vegeta gaines some respect for Trunks and his power. Saiyans respect strength and also respect a fighting spirit. (Which is why Vegeta respected Gohan & Krillin & Piccolo to a degree.)

Also to add, Saiyans take great pride in their strength. A half Saiyan is not that strong unless they recieve proper Earthling training so they can use their Earthling potential and Saiyan abilities together that can easily surpass full blood Saiyans. Part of the reason he hated Trunks was because he didn't want any hybrid to be stronger than him. Vegeta's arrogance in his strength (his Saiyan pride) does not like when anyone is stronger than himself. Which is why he told Nappa he did not want to have children with Earthlings (likely by force). Vegeta didn't want to be surpassed because Saiyans are bullies who like to fight weaker opponents.

Saiyans had become a people who were fearful of stronger opponents which is why they would wait for a full moon to attack stronger alien races. They were so arrogant in their strength that they did not like to lose. Like how Vegeta wanted to destroy Earth when Goku made him bleed, even if it meant killing himself too. So long as he killed his opponent, he didnt care.

Bardock was the last Saiyan with the pure nature of a Saiyan. And that was to challenge anyone, even enemies stronger than himself. This is why he attacked Freeza when all other Saiyans and even King Vegeta were too afraid to do so. This pure Saiyan nature that Bardock had is what Goku has. Its why he faces anyone and likes fighting strong guys.

Pure Saiyan nature is very different from Saiyan pride. (I plan to make a post about this one day)

[sweetescapeartist]

Sorry to spring this question on you, but I've been given a few facts to someone, so I ask on how Cell's core work since the person wanna know how Goku's Warp Kamehameha didn't destroy Cell's core despite blasting his upper body.😶

Well that one was a difficult question to answer at first. I had my thoughts, but they weren't exactly complete. So, I examined what Cell said about the core in his head & I made sense out of it the best I could. Here's the link that explains how I believe it works. 👇

HOW DID CELL REGENERATE WHEN HIS HEAD WAS DESTROYED?

We know that Cell's ability to regenerate is due to his Namekian DNA. He has regenerated limbs as we have seen Namekians do (specifically Pi

I hope that helps, bud! 👍

(I actually made that post specifically to answer this question. And this is a late response, so I apologize for that.)
