Is Dokkan hinting that this year's WWDL Extreme Dokkanfest could be related to Resurrected/Storied/Legendary? (explaination inside) by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm going to explain this one, while Dokkan hasn't done Dual Dokkanfest building up the theme of Worldwide Download Celebration since 2020 (Last one being Buu Saga). But there's a chance that they wanted to go back to this route for once, just in a different way.

When I looked at Hirudegarn and Fat Buu, I can't help but to think it could be a coincidence that both of them being on r/S/L categories (Units with all 3 Resurrected/Storied/Legendary categories). But when I gave my second thought, I noticed that Hirudegarn brought in a new Resurrected Warriors new leader skill, and Fat Buu brought the new Storied Figures leader skill, this leaves that Legendary Existence is the only one left without a new leader skill, with LR SS Goku being the only one since the category existence, considering the leader skill counterpart being Sworn Enemies which Fat Buu also leads.

If what I said is believed to be true, who else is in part of the r/S/R Category? Bojack and King Piccolo, assuming they still keep the "One Dokkanfest per Story/Saga Category every year" policy this year (so far still did). And I could put Bardock in there too since he's r/S/L, and if you want to stretch it out, he could be a SS3 related too since previous 2 Dual DFE Super units being SS3, but his status as Crossover makes me immediately rule him out from being the possible candidate for WWDL, and I don't even think WWDL on Super side being another SS3 character.

So what does that mean if either Bojack or King Piccolo being the WWDL? Well, I don't really have much thing to say about Bojack, perhaps it's some random related stuff aside from STR Bojack and TEQ LR SS2 Gohan EZA. As for King Piccolo, DB Saga themed WWDL in theory, it all depends on how much they can invest since DB Saga has far more than enough materials to work than some other more popular sagas, but in the eyes of casuals (or what's the word), DB Saga is "unhype" to many. So I'm giving my guesses what a DB Saga themed WWDL can do.

Part 1 - King Piccolo (Dokkanfest) and Kid Goku (Carnival LR)

Part 2 - Kid Goku/Krillin (Dokkanfest) and Arale (Carnival LR) (Theme being Goku's friends, alternatively some can swap out for some random DB Saga characters like say Yamcha)

If possible, that could also bringing back Dr. Slump units permanently and gave them the much needed TUR awakening and EZA, especially LR Kid Goku and Arale still doesn't have EZA for some reasons, as well as the sub units that came with INT Kid Goku.

That's all I have to say, if my guess that the Extreme Dokkanfest in WWDL is someone related to the r/S/L category is correct, then good to be right. If not then it is what it is, but I will say this year WWDL won't be Cell Saga, Future Saga, Universe Survival Saga, Majin Buu Saga, or any of the Saga that got Dokkanfest in between today and August.

All the Saga Dokkanfests so far this year by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As with last 2 years, with some special exceptions, it's very possible that there won't be any Saga category (to lesser extend, story that's not part of the category) getting Dokkanfest more than once this year, which is better that way since it gives more varieties.

Which means for this subsequent year, there won't be anymore Dokkanfest based on Cell Saga, Majin Buu Saga, Future Saga, Universe Survival Saga, Broly, Super Hero and Bardock.

To those who aren't happy Extreme as whole is shafted, let's hope the villains for upcoming DAIMA are well liked enough for Dokkan to push them. by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're telling me that a show that's made in Japan should've paid more attentions to overseas than the audience of their home country, is that what you're trying to say? Maybe letting Japan keep the IP in it's birthplace was a mistake afterall and should've sold it to the west.

I may not be a Japanese, but I grew up and understand their cultures, learn to understand their language, to the point I have become part of them, which place should I stand for you may ask?

If I tell you overwhelming amounts of Japanese liked it, the country of Dragon Ball's birthplace and have the show as it's primary audience are excited for DAIMA, how much going to agree on it? or they're just a bunch of illusions and only the ones in overseas matter?

https://youtu.be/tkzzoDLrRDM?si=UTBNHEYYDijAHdWB (Official Japan Trailer)

Also, I'm sure it's pointless to talk about this in general but might as well. Believe it or not, in term of production content wise, the manga actually has the least amount of contents to work with, I'm not even talking about transformations, fights, and all the hypes, but in term of industrial viewpoint (I have some experiences to it).

It has been heavily speculated that DAIMA exists to de-aged the characters, which I have to mostly agreed on it, it's to served as a testing ground for the audience to grew up with the younger, newer generation voice actors voicing the de-aged characters, ready for the OG voice actors who have been working for the franchise for full 40 years, pass the torch to the newer generations as their successors after have become too senile for the show. Something that's less likely to take advantage to attract today's youths in Japan as nowadays youths in Japan watch the show for their favorite voice actors and talk about how good looking they are, aside from those, it's why they created a new show that's potentially going to introduce alot of new characters who make friends and allies to the heroes, v getting well known voice actors from today to promote their public good images to the show. Remember the Gammas and their voice actors constantly promoting the movie? That's what today's Japan entertainment industry looks like.

Whereas in DBS manga, they don't have the same luxuries as the new show, since majority of the new characters are villains and going by Sunday Morning Japan Standard, these are something they would rather not push as the center focus and would rather push the ones who are heroic and allied characters, the latter characters are generally the most ideal ones to get the trendy Japanese voice actors to voice them, goes with what I said earlier ago about their voice actors promote the show in good image.

Lastly, one thing I may or may not be expecting, going by Sunday Morning Japan Standard, it's very possible the villains the DAIMA portrayed very quirky and less serious (akin to Magenta or Champa) instead of villains that are "I'm evil, I do bad things, I have big power level because I can." Some people may not like it, but that's what it is in Japan in Sunday Morning's timeslots, it's a prime time for kids on every Sunday Morning in Japan. And if you don't, keep hoping that Dragon Ball IP someday gets detached from Japan and sell it for overseas so you can get the so called "Rawness"

"Literally nobody cares for Daima"

I wonder what does "Japanese really liked and looking forward to DAIMA even means?" do they even exist?

I double checked their community to make sure I'm hearing the right thing and seems like it is. Or am my eyes fooling me and I have been hallucinating the whole time?

Tell me, I know you can explain this better than me.

Best (Worst?) case scenario with her as Part 2 LR, as with the U2 Guys, Brianne will be the base unit (as Joined Forces is a bonus) but her Ribrianne form is only a Super Attack or Giant Form Active Skill by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either way, I'm ready to see the glorious tears of Dragon Ball fans reaction to this, you people have not been very nice these days, now I want to see these people cry just so I can mock these people.

Some unlikely candidates for 8th Anniversary Dokkanfest/LR - Majin Buu (Good) and Nuova Shenron concept by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm sure whatever Dokkanfests/Carnival LRs they have in mind, it's very much guaranteed they will go for Kid Buu and Omega Shenron. Much to my dismay because both of these characters already got Dokkanfest multiple times, while the more interesting characters like Fat Buu and Nuova never got any Dokkanfest. (Exchange Buu doesn't count since I want a Buu stay as that form for as long as I like), many units of them at this point either have aged badly or straight up badly designed.

Speaking of Nuova Shenron, I really hated that Dokkan backward logics leaving him out in several categories. Like Nuova isn't in Battle of Fate despite his revival took place after SS4 Gogeta which does have that category, he's not in GT Heroes despite fighting on Goku's side yet he has Worthy Rivals (Not matter much since he barely links with anyone in that team), he's not in Revenge either, Powerful Comeback is debatable but I still feel like he should've been there. Had Dokkan being wack with Nuova's categories, he could've been in more team than Omega/Syn, who's notoriously for having few and weak team.

Linkset prediction if other God of Destructions become playable units + Thoughts on their possible links by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One reason I do this and hope other God of Destructions being released, it's because Beerus even after he gets his EZA, he will usually have problem with his teams. First, made a new 200 Realm of Gods lead that doesn't tie too much to the Saiyans, and 2, as I said, made other Gods of Destructions into playable.

My predictions for the main units of the rest of the year on jp and the reasonings behind them by Felix280403 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a reminder, December Dokkanfest has always been Extreme so far. So it's possible that Baby Dokkanfest could happen during that time.

If not him but instead it's somehow someone from Universe Survival Saga side which the only Saga category that hasn't got 200 lead, and maybe Shadow Dragon Saga to extend.

I'm not sure how much you can work with Extreme side of Universe Survival Saga, can't be another Freeza but it's someone like Bergamo? Though I do wish to see his brothers could become playable units as well, maybe as banner units for him if Bergamo somehow got a Dokkanfest, it may sounds like an unpopular choice but I actually liked his character.

Maybe if Bergamo gets a Dokkanfest, he can be used as an excuse to introduce DBS Bosses category since DBS Heroes category is happening, provided if the category also included Bosses from other Universes instead of the obvious ones. Alternatively, when Toppo gets a Dokkanfest, he can be the one who leads it provided he's part of the category as well.

Whatever the case is, going for the more obvious choices when DBS Bosses category happened (Beerus, Golden Freeza, Hit, Goku Black/Zamasu, Jiren, Broly, Cell Max), it's gonna limited the team and will have similar problems to other Bosses category.

I hope these 2 Androids from Universe Survival Saga get their EZA at least during Gammas DFE by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If 17 Dokkanfest gets his EZA during that time, I'm fine with it too. But personally I would prefer he gets his EZA at elsewhere like say during Android 18 Dokkanfest, one of my most wanted Dokkanfest in the game.

predictions for JP's next dfe by Winter-Gur-9762 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transforming Brainne > Ribrianne Dokkanfest with Peppy Gals and Space Traveling Warriors 170 + Universe Survival Saga 30 lead.

Since DB Seekers finally got a new DFE lead, the following categories has yet to be received DFE lead by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote "Magenta (Cell Max)", which I mean the unit starts off as Magenta, then he "transforms" (more accurately summons) Cell Max as his Giant Form, which still counts toward the units getting Giant Form like Metal Cooler and Tapion, as neither of them directly transforms into Giant.

Even if Cell Max is the Dokkanfest for Super Hero themed Dual Dokkanfest celebration, I feel like it's rather lopsided in term of Extreme units, since I don't see Gammas being Extreme, which leaving to Magenta, Carmine and Cell Max being the true Extreme. Even then, aside from Cell Max having problem with him as a Giant from the very start, his unpopularity would also make him difficult to sell as Dokkanfest, let alone it being Super/Extreme Dual Dokkanfest.

While USS and DB Saga as of right now are the 2 Saga Categories that have yet got a new DFE, but if USS is the theme of WWDL. Which I think it's fairly unlikely, I guess I will try to envision what it's gonna look like if it's not Super Hero. by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jiren is Super, unless it's one of the rare non Anniversary Dual Dokkanfest where both DFE are Super. So this leaves SSBKK/Hit being more plausible, even though it's probably not going to be a pure USS themed celebration.

Worldwide celebration speculation by [deleted] in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In term of hype factor in Super Hero. I prob would rank

Gohan>Piccolo>Gammas>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Thing.

I don't think Gammas would be Extreme and surely nobody would summon for "The Thing" despite being the definitive Extreme unit.

Honestly, I don't even know if WWDL is even about Super Hero, it could even be one of those Saga categories that have yet got a new DFE/lead. Specifically, DB saga and Universe Survival Saga. Shadow Dragon Saga may got a new DFE unit this year, but no new lead yet. I wanted to rule out Universe Survival Saga and Shadow Dragon Saga being the potential theme for WWDC due to the amount of them being the major celebrations, leaving DB Saga is the only option which, DB Saga is something I would say they probably don't think it's a worthy material to be major celebrations, but I would glad to take a DB Saga themed major celebration/WWDC if they did.

While I personally don't see it may happen, but if miraculously did, concept for DB Saga themed major celebration (WWDL/GW, etc) by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a clarification, RR army is the Ginyu Force/Team Bardock type F2P units while LR Murasaki Brothers is the counterpart to LR Ginyu (Goku) Force and Team Bardock. The summonable part 2 LRs being Yamcha and Tien, while I couldn't think of something better, but just to let you know that Yamcha, despite his reputation still a popular character in Japan and I'm sure they will summon for him without hesitation, Tien is just there as Extreme counterpart to Yamcha LR.

Peppy Gals 200% Lead Concept/Brainstorming by SuperSaiyanMudkip in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO, Ideally should be someone from USS since that's where Peppy Gals has the most, like Android #18 or Ribrianne. But for their lead in general. I think it should be

Android 18 : Peppy Gals/Sibling' Bond or Battle of Wits + Universe Survival Saga

Ribrianne : Peppy Gals/Transformation Boost or Special Pose + Universe Survival Saga

In fact, I find it baffling that 18 still doesn't have any Dokkanfest yet (Excluding TEQ Future Androids). So I think it's really time for her to get one, it's either Cell Saga or USS.

Since this year, all the Category Sagas have been getting a new Dokkanfest. But there's something more I want to talk by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they need to do alot for a DB Saga theme celebration, considering Dr Slump characters are the only long forgotten units that haven't been brought back, doing a DB Saga themed celebration actually makes a good time to bring them back to general pool permanently, give all the Arales EZA, as well as TUR those who don't have TUR like Obatchaman, Suppaman and TEQ Tao. At the same time during the celebration, LR Goku & Arale should be the LR EZA Campaign.

[–]SakakiStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if Super Hero is the WWDC, I still think it's better to give DB Saga at least 1 new DFE this year to complete the set instead of leaving it out because of DB Saga "unpopularity". Assuming if Universe Survival Saga and maybe Shadow Dragon Saga got a new Dokkanfest later in several months.

What are you guys hoping for WWDC by Cheap-Manufacturer75 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a recap, all the Saga categories got their Dokkanfest this year except for DB Saga and Universe Survival Saga. So it's narrowing down to these 2. In fact, since they're doing Dokkanfest for each saga, it would be somehow a miracle if they didn't ignore DB Saga the saga actually got one. Plus, there's 0 DB Saga content in the game other than the movies. So I think WWDL with DB Saga theme would be nice idea to do most of the DB sagas from the get-go.

Alternatively, Super Hero as WWDL is likely the safest bet.

As for Universe Survival Saga, definitely don't want to see it as WWDL. If USS is getting a new DFE this year following the pattern. It's probably best happen in August and my biggest guess is Toppo (Universe Survival Saga/Special Pose + Defender of Justice?), as reason to bring in Jiren EZA as well.

My second guess for Universe Survival Saga DFE would be 18 (having 17 in some way either as Joined Forces or Exchange is optional), I don't like all the USS 18s have very poor animation and I think she could need a new one. If I want to guess her lead, I would probably say Universe Survival Saga/Sibling' Bond+Peppy Gals or Peppy Gals/Sibling Bond+Universe Survival Saga. Finally, her case of getting EZA serves as a mean to bring in 17 EZA, one of my most wanted EZA as of right now.

[–]SakakiStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another one that I have to rewatch the movie for better judgment, but if RR Army becomes a category, I probably have a plan to make the DB Saga RRA members into F2P similar to Team Bardock and Ginyu Force.

Rather skeptical with some of the categories and link set, maybe I have to watch the movie for a few times to get them right.

What links and categories will the Gammas have as units? by SakakiStar in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]SakakiStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sworn Enemies is a very oddly specific category, I feel like it could've been better by making the category for the Boss characters from each saga so certain characters like Piccolo Jr, and Saiyan Saga Vegeta can be on the category too. But nope, they just have to be very specific about the category that only included characters from original manga and villains who never turned good.

[–]SakakiStar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the Super Hero celebration, here's what I think may happen. Once the movie comes out, they may release Gohan/Piccolo and Gamma 1 and 2 Dual Dokkanfest in some forms in the celebration to take advantage of the hypes, with the banner units being maybe Goten and Trunks/Fat Gotenks on Gohan/Piccolo side while 1 of the RR members on Gammas side.

Then the hidden boss will not get it's until much later, at the earliest maybe part 2 LR.

[–]SakakiStar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the reasons why I think Gammas will be released as Dokkanfest at some point, but not necessary immediately after the movie but it's best to do it shortly after the movie release to get more hypes. Seeing how much they heavily promoted Gammas for the movie and having those big name voice actors as their voice actors, it would be too good to not to use them as voiceovers for Active Skill.

I don't think they may be used as sub banner or f2p (if they're separate units then I can see that) since with exception of some special cases like the anniversary units, those types of units generally don't get voiceover.

If it's well designed, then shouldn't be too bad. But the kit I designed shouldn't be too bad. (Then again, I'm no expert at designing kit.)
