Bardock is another case like Black in that he only looks like Goku but that’s the end of any resemblance in terms of how he acts and fights. Bardock if anything could be the “military arts” style fighter seen with characters like Bayman, Dragunov, and Kolin in recent years. He even has bone-breaking moves in some of his other game appearances.
Recently Bardock has been getting a TON of storyline buffs, including the OVA/Manga oneshot where it was he who began the legend of the Super Saiyan, and in recent games where he continues to rapidly improve, whether it be as the Masked Saiyan (somewhat of the Shin Akuma of the DBZ universe), or leveling up to SSJ2 and SSJ3 in the most extreme case. If they really wanted to go all out, his Oozaru form could be a Super too.
Yeah. I can honestly see him being some kind o CQC grappler with a really unique moveset like Hit. Broly, if hes anything other than DBZ Potemkin Id be shocked. Saw someone brought up a good point. With the way the character select screen is set up it looks like it will be 4 heroes and 4 villains in the DLC.
EC was comparing Nappa to Abigail but Broly would fit that Abigail/Nemesis/Jack classification of “really big body but not exactly a true grappler” type perfectly.
From the Saibamen usage I was thinking Nappa would be more similar to Jack-O, a set-play character. Was watching some of the videos and noticed the Saibamen actually stay out even when he’s not even being used.
The seem more complete because they as an unit look like they can fuction by their own, unlike on the vs series, where ou have chgars that are clearly lacking in many fronts.
Also, while most of the chars in this game shre the same foundation, how they work between each other is different (More on some than others), not everyone fireball works similar, and the autocombos have different properties, for example.
The worst characters in MVCI and MVC3 suffer from being “too honest” rather than any lack of insight on their design. With DBFZ I see (and have noticed very clearly when I played the beta) a lot of similarities even for characters with different Hs and Ss. The only time I started seeing some real deviation was during the Gotenks/Kidd Buu/Adult Gohan reveal. They’ve gotten better about since then especially with Hit.
I’ve been looking too and haven’t found much good Nappa info yet.
There’s this recent podcast where they quickly go over him: https://twitch.tv/videos/210847511?t=25m58s and there are 2 YT videos a month old of some bad gameplay with him…
The fact Nappa is not being examined as much as some of the other characters might have to to do with the backlash that happened when he was announced.
Also, I’m starting to believe Nefarious_Raccoon and dizzynecro hate my guts. If that is the case, so be it. They can go to the place of wailing and the gnashing of teeth, HFIL, for all I care.
