well ok IGN but still same idea… Japan said they are having a big reveal for 11/1 so what are the chances of both IGN showing off 2 new characters that wouldnt be shown at the japanese show the same week if not the same day? seems a little sketchy oh well guess will see
Maybe they’re trying to increase the amount of reveals now that the game is coming out in 3 months? I dunno, either way I’m stoked to see who is coming next week
What do people want out of kid buu? I’m not a fan of the buu saga, and it’s been a super long time since I watched it, but I can’t remember him doing anything interesting or unique in that form.
Typically in games he’s been in, he’s some with a slow walkspeed capable of sudden quick bursts of speed to get in an opponent’s face and peel off damage in a rapid flurry of wild attacks, typically when he has the cover of a “Human Extinction” attack (the multiple ki blasts into the air that all rain down on an opponent after a bit of delay). Other times he’s been able to use his gooey body to trap the opponents, or even use those body parts as projectile weapons. He’s not really someone who overly relies on flashy ki attacks other than his Vanishing Ball and ki breath (which Nappa seems to already have dibs on, though I think Recoome has it as one of Ginyu’s assists too).
So…I guess he’d be something along the lines of Makoto or Heihachi?
Kid Buu is the epitome of unconventional attacker, even moreso than his previous forms. He’d be closer to Duo Lon from KOF than anything else with his attack angles and unpredictability.
Kid buu could do alot of things… random sim lims, or at least sticking feet through the ground… Cannon ball attacks he has, pink fireball shoot all over the screen, or death ball thing he does with it… pink kamehameha… More wacky even give him some ghetto blob dodges of his body being wacky… or give him some random ass air mobility with his flying squirl shit he does in the anime… make it like karnovs balloon in fighters history dynamite. Hell just like karnov says BAAAALOOOOOOOON when he does make him go… BaaaBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU… each time he blows up and floats. Oh god that would be great. That would be hella wacky flying blob squirl all over the screen for mix ups… random sim stretchy legs when hes far away, he still has beam specials he can do a lot of shit. Thats the sad thing about the game the game doesnt HAVE to be simple. Even though its DBZ and its laser beam a vs laser beam b, theres still lots of source material of random shit to go from. You can still be creative with characters, But they kinda dug themselves a bit of a whole with the control scheme only allowing characters to have so many specials so its hard to believe that any character is really going all out with everything they could add. So will just have to see.
Come to think of it, he actually had the “legs go under the ground and pop back up” thing LONG before Duo Lon had (Hyper Dimension for SNES). Good thinking!
One thing I would love ArcSys to do (though it’s obviously not gonna happen) is include Super Buy rather than Kid Buu, and give him a 7 bar Absorption super, that also has unique interactions depending on your teammates. I.E. if you have Piccolo and Buu - Buu absorbs Piccolo and becomes Buuccolo, gaining new moves. Of course this would be limited due to canonical material (regular super buu, Buuccolo, Buutenks, Buuhan), but still
Or maybe IGN is tricking everybody by saying they’ll show two new characters and we get only Gotenks while in the Japanese event we get the other character reveal.
IGN is probably full of shit and the 2 characters are going to be revealed in the Japan show/V-Jump the day before or same day, hoping that their western audience doesn’t notice.
