Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.
This system has HUGE scaling issues, which is nothing new to DBZ, but that is besides the point.
So when fighting you throw attacks that deal X dice in damage. Do like 20D6 damage. And the actual DBZ fighters have attacks that are like 5000 dice of damage. There is a conversion table, but at this point come the fuck on. Maybe the power should scale to match the Z fighters as opposed to just giving us big numbers, but considering the sidebars that brought this down to 1 star, this seems like maybe an intentional choice.
This book is so fucking weeaboo like, it's not funny. It cannot jerk off Toriyama's work any harder. There are at least 2 sidebars about how "Even Krilin could beat up Superman" "Superman only has a body of 24, thus OBJECTIVLY goku could beat Superman based on this arbitrary numbers we put on them."
This fucking wiz magazine shit. The DBZ fighters get thrown through mountains, thus are tougher than Superman. Yes, because he's never been through through a mountain, a planet, a moon, before.
So let me digress (and I will since this is my review). In the Sayian saga Vegetia goes to bug planet and uses his Gallik Gun to blow it up. His power level there is what? 18,000. So at 18,000 Vegeta can blow up a planet. Even if you consider the bug dudes non-canon, he boasts that his Gallik Gun would destroy earth, and thus Goku can't dodge it. Thus we get the Kao Ken X4 Kamehameha.
So at 18,000 attacks can destroy planets (as Vegeta was shocked at the idea of characters altering power levels with techniques).
So fast forward to Cell. 2.2 Billion. Vegita is now capable of destroying 12,000 Earths give or take. Fighting a 3.5 Billion power level cell. capable of destroying just under 20,000 Earths. So if they fight they are generating enough power to destroy about 30,000 Earths.
There should be nothing left. Why is there? DBZ has zero sense of power scaling.
Everything I've said about DBZ applies about 10 fold for DC comics. Who would win Goku or Superman? Depends on the writer.
Anyway. I had to take down this dudes stupid fucking Goku would win. Probably some who threw a tantrum after Death Battle took it on like so many people did.
Even so the game is pretty bad, if I wanted to play something DBZish I'd honestly use a game based on western comics like Mutants and Masterminds. This system is simple but falls apart under any scrutiny. like rolling for power level where one player can roll a character 120 power and another 640.
Also a few scenarios in the book are things like "Your team is walking around and gets into it with a bouncer in a bar". Ummm, this is DBZ. I want to fight aliens trying to blow up earth, not playing Sherlock Holmes. The book just seems to fail when it is not just going over the wikipedia plot points about the Sayian saga.
