Adam, i decided to make a complete scanning of your map. Here's what i got.
Your last coment:
Broly: Well, if you're certain of that, you could try it. Though i still think fixing reincarnation could solve it really well. Make like the regen: wastes all mana, like i said before.
Cooler: I see. If you say so...
Flesh Attack: "But I have to ask, how often do you see a Buu out-level everyone early-mid game? Most of the time, Buu would die in one or two abilities because of his low level / stats." Actually... today's pinks are really pro's. So, usualy, they have same stats, or even better than most players, for lots of reasons. Which means Flesh Attack get even more powerful, and if Majin Buu don't kill ppl with his own attack (usualy he does... on my games) he does with Flesh Attack.
Now, to the characters!Remember, everything is relative
Goku: Main Char, Prolly the guy with most transformations, which is good. Kaioken is good early game...ss3 is good too... ss4 have a power level that almost no one can reach... gogeta ss4 is prolly the most powerful guy on earth... Lockon, sense, etc. But... he begins on heaven. You could make him gain more exp than others on heaven, that should do it. Got killed (in the anime) by Special Beam Cannon, with Raditz. Though Raditz appear on Saga... kinda strange. Anyway. Not only that, but... only after reaching ss4 Goku stand a chance, cause he's kinda weak. (Everything is relative, you'll see why later..) Usualy, on my games, evil are super powah, and you always have to fuse to kill them. Fusion is a game winner like you said, but they HAVE to fusion to win. It is the only way. If they (Vegeta and Goku) get killed before they can fuse? Then, hopes someone's go, and hide on the future. One of the worsts things about being good guy is... well, i'll say on General's.
Balance goku? i'll say on generals.
Vegeta- Almost as good as Goku, but can't sense, can't lockon, and don't have kaioken/ss3. But he can train in Gravity Chamber, which is better than ss3 in my opinion. Still, not powerful enough. Fuse and you'll win.(Some times, even fusing is not enough..) Otherwise, evils gotta be noobs! lol. Almost forgot uss and. USS (Super Form) makes (in the anime) slower... but in this double str. I don't remember if it was both vegeta/trunks or only trunks :O Prolly trunks because of his uss2... Well, nothning against it. whatever.(Majin influence is not that good. On Anime, it is like ss2 forevah...)Still..............
Balance? General's.
Gohan- My fav char. Why? Because most of things good doens't have... he DOES! Alas from good transformations, 1st: potential=bonus stats. Bonus stats are REALLY great. Just awesomely great. 2nd Mystic is like a perm ss3 with no stealing mana. Though you can't be Oozaru. You just need to kill 15 targets on Mystic.. But why not kill the others? When each target gives you 15 stats!? Some Gohans are stupid to use Dr Kochin vials to get the targets... as long as i know, Gohan don't get bonus stats for others than him getting the kills. Balance Gohan? Make him a bit more powerful. Later why.
Gotenks- They are good. Permanent fusion, who could ask for more? But... First, Goten and Trunks are easily killed. Which turns into forever heaven, since they would waste tickets if they revive. Which means it takes a LOT more time to reach a good lvl to fuse, and become powerful. And EVEN at lvl 150 with fusion and ss3, they still can kill him...
Balance purp? Make them a bit more hard to kill. And General's.
Future Trunks. He's good. Sword gives him some advantage, though advantage to me is not on the attack, but on the stats. Oh well. Improved Sword + uss2 makes him really good, which means he's kinda good (USS2= SS2 + Oozaru). Though he doens't have ss3/4, the double str makes for it. So, it's one of the strongest and easy to use from good. Balance him? Make him a bit more powerful. Maybe on the sword?
Piccolo- Since i'm just now playing with him a bit, I know little about him. But from what i know, he's almost like Gohan, but without the stats bonuses. First, That technique that supposedly only Lord Slug knows, but every namek can use. Same thing as oozaru. Then, we have.. nail. ss without stealing mana. Then... kami. ss2,3 i don't remember without stealing mana. Buuut we still have those same problems.. stats. And though he don't waste mana at transformations, he wastes at regen. But regen is good, so whatevah. One of the most weak at peak in my opinion.
Krillin- (Where do i get the code again? lol That Strange, Locked box perhaps? Never figured a way to open it..) People say using Krillin is noobish. But... Krilin is perhaps one of the best z fighters (though he is a earthling.) First: 3 dmg spells. the only one that have 3 dmg spells on z fighters. And that's not all! The spells are prolly one of the best of the game. Scattering Bullet is unique, and gives a punch. Kamehameha is..well, good n old kamehameha. Destructo Disc? No words. 50% of max life percent is a lot dmg to get those uber hps guys. Krillin is the best saga hunter/ op evil killer at all because of that. First, Solar flare, then, scaterrinig bullet. Then, destructo disc! If the bastard STILL IS alive, finish with Kamehameha Wave!(Original name, lol) One thing that makes me REALLY angry is that Krillin gain same Z fighters power levels just by upping. No mana at all. Just level! So, Krillin almost don't need to be balanced. Maybe just some more stat bonuses is ok, but JUST A LITTLE BIT, really bit.
EVIL ONES!! MAWHwahhawahwaWA
Androids- 3 heroes. With mana shields. If they're pros, then everyone else is fucked. Oh, now just one hero! (With a ss2 power, or ss3 , don't remember.) Then... ultra. something like uss3. They don't have stat bonuses, but 1- no going to hell until fusion or super computer destroyed 2- Scouter assembler and wards 3- uss3 thing, they're a bit op..but they are. Even WITHOUT stats bonuses. Or maybe they have, i don't know right now. Balance Androids? Balancing good guys. Oh, that Atomic bomb is a bit too powerful. Though you can run of it, you can't run forever.
Buu- Babidi have some cool spells, that can really protect him if he's in trouble, and while majin buu is not awaken. Dabura can always kill weaklings, or babidi's same strenght, cause he's stronger than babidi. Hex great for punishment and escaping. Though he doens't have dmg spells at all, Dabura should do it all well. Majin Buu awaken?
2 things: Hold, and chocolate. I already said everything about hold. And chocolate... God saves me. Without the power levels, HUMANS, IN TOWN, gives 6 stats,and monsters give 9... like a stats transmute. But it's more likely to be used in the humans, that don't give stats at all. If a good Buu knows about chocolate and use it well,god save us. Not even fusion, not even fusion. With that in mind, Kid buu is lots powerful. Manking Destruction is one of the best spells too. a Bit OP. Not very good for open battle, but deadly for tourny's/duels, where you can't run. Buu regen takes all mana...right? if does not, make so that it wastes all mana. Balancing buu? balance the hold, the chocolate... Dabura is ok i guess. Chocolate is awesomely stat bonuse, weak chocolate thing a bit... and balancing good guys.
Bebi- before, bebi sucked. Now? Bebi is adorable. Perfectly balanced, and easy to play. He usually owns, not because of OP, but because he is easy to play. And by perfectly balanced, i mean how it should be. Z fighters, normaly, are weakest than him. Without a body, he's kinda powerful. With those guards too.. With a body, he owns. Super? he owns more.he's perfectly perfect. People just gotta know how to use him, since he's kinda a new char, because no one used him cause of bugs. Just balance good guys.
Broly- Power level is ok. I understand Legendary super sayan is awesome, but just because he can transform to legendary super sayan don't give him the power to legendary sayan passive? (nothing, x1.5. SS, 2.5. LSS, 3.5) Maybe too much? Energy punch is way too good, as well as the...forgot the name. Ok, he is killlable. He is perfectly balanced, in many ways. But then... he rez. He rez! at full health and mana! And cd skills no more! You killed him at your peak, you wasted all of u, and he combo u, and then PAM. That makes Broly OP. balance? Something you said before, or fix rez somehow.
Cell- He is in the same shape as Z-Fighters. Ultra Perfect is x3.5... if you balance z-fighters, balance him a bit too. Make him a bit better. Though... cell juniors. Ok, balance him less than z-fighters, or balance cell juniors.
Cooler- He's good. Though Mass Towers makes him OP... but you said that can be countered. So, he's good.
General- I think everyone shud have a way to teleport,or to fly. Maybe another system of flying? Everyone shud sense as well. Not sense someone exactly, but pings all enemy location? Everyone on DBZ can sense energy...Goku can sense more acurrately, that's all. Oh, and good guys don't have good stats bonuses. Only Gohan does. Almost all evils have some way or other to gain stats other than killing/tournys/sagas. So, you should do the same to Z-Fighters. Like.. King Kai Traning just give 3 levels to Goku? Geez, he shud at least have more 40 stats!i Still would love Goku with spirit bomb *-*
same to the others... evil always win in my games because of stats bonuses/op skills D: We have Hiperbolic? Cooler has tower, Buu has chocolate, Androids have wards, assembler, and mana shields, Bebi have guards, Cell have cell juniors, and Broly have rez/power level rising. Hiperbolic is really useful, but it just give faster leveling. About double fast. And that's a thing evil can turn up easily. Is it right that the Dragon Ball radar just tracks 2 balls after the first gathering? If not, fix it. And i KNOW, that's a LOT hard to make, but... could you, maybe, make characters more unique? Maybe give one more skill to everyone. Would be nice too.
few. This took a GOOOD time. about 1 hour.i really hope you take my comments here on account. If you do everything like i said, well, not exactly, but if you get the same idea, (and it, for god sakes, works. Not like utopic socialism and the real socialism. Just an example) the game will be perfect. Or at least i think. well, it will be REALLY, AWESOMELY good. Keep the good work. And with the 8 mbs size? Everything i said can be true now.)
EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you, Adam, read this? Anyone? I made a so good analysis, i wanted someone to read it D:
(And again, fix the dragon ball radar. At least, in the anime/manga, it is not supposed to be like that. Thanks again)
EDIT 2: When a game is good... is ok. But when you play a game, and it have a matching soundtrack, boy, it is amazing. I could play some games just to hear the music. Like To The Bitter End maps, Phase Killer, etc... Which means: If you can find a good DBZ music (could be a opening or something. I suggest Super Survivor, intro of DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3) It would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! If you research for DBZ Soundtrack on wikipedia, it lists all musics DBZ used on all time... then just look somewhere, like 4shared.com or something.
EDIT 3:Forget about the "could you, maybe, make characters more unique? Maybe give one more skill to everyone. Would be nice too.", it is REALLY unique already :O Sorry for misjudging you..though one more skill woulda be awesome :O
edit 4: Re-analyzed. I still have the same opinion... all chars are unique, but... i still think evil have always something OP. Z-Fighters are good, but... Androids always fuse togheter. (They leach exp/stats from each other?) First, what a good micro don't do. Second, transmitters, third, even if they'll be togheter, it still would be OP their fusion to happen... nerf them or something. Maybe modify charge a bit? And Buu. Babidi is good, as i said before. But Buu... man, buu always win. We can't make a spirit bomb to kill him, you know :O Broly. Thawned from ice? :O God, he have a power level like ss4 EARLY, and STILL have rez? Man... and what about his skills!? Man.... Legendary Ultra Super Sayan O_O and rez. God help us. Bebi... bebi is ok. I Guess. Though if he gets bulma, again, god help us. Let me see... Cell... cell... he is the most vulnerable... though if he absorbs all humans... maybe he could share with buu. One get west city and the other get the east city, GOT IT? .-. Cooler gain power level for killing. Get power from dying. It is almost immortal... and can transform! .-. Did i forgot someone? Nope. And... what other skill Buu gets? god, he's good enough like he is, and he still can have a extra skill? lol. (I wonder how you get it...and i'm 99% sure you're not telling.) And i finaly found the use to the Mysterious Box!!! I wonder if you get Krillin that way... or maybe a unlock code for EVIL, well, i don't know, cause i didn't get it. But there is something unusual about that frog... Memory a bit froggy. Or shud i say foggy? I wonder how you recovery it... but of course you're not answering me D: well, anyway. I already made 4 edits, for god sake, read this Ç_Ç
