Old project, great evolution. Those who know me on the forum know that I have always wanted to put together the ultimate 16-bit style Dragon Ball game. Well, thanks to Ikemen, especially the Ikemen GO version, I'm about to achieve it.

Contains:
*26 Characters balanced and made specifically for this fullgame with their own internal common system.
*36 Stages
*Graphics and sound 100% 16 bits.
*Graphic tricks that allow in-game transformations and skin changes courtesy of the fact that many characters have an extreme separation of color palettes.
*There are no conceptually broken or unbalanced characters. If you detect something like this, let me know so I can improve it.

The code is based on big names from mugen and dragon ball, especially retro characters like GohanSSM2 Ryon TheNecromancer Komodo BIRD etc. There is no credits cinematic yet, but when I have it, all the authors I have based myself on and all those who have collaborated with my project will appear there.

Future updates:
I'm still new to Ikemen so I'm learning little by little to program its news that it offers in contrast to mugen so I'll be implementing them little by little with new updates. This is the first full playable beta with the basics it offers. You can expect more Stages, and maybe new chars although this is the definitive Roster so it is not certain. Mugen versions had an explod-based intro dialogue system but this will be replaced by Ikemen's native system in the future. A similar thing happens with the Stages viewer. I'm using the old font-based system but I'll update it to native in ikemen soon.

I still have to put the finishing touches on certain chars, especially the newest ones to join the roster.

From now on I leave you some screenshots.













Game system:

It is basically based on 3 main buttons. Punch, Kick and Ki Attacks. The specials involve only those three buttons. Then it has 3 extra buttons where two are dedicated to automatically dash (Like the Butouden of SNES) and the remaining button is to change characters in Tag mode. I have not yet made the list of movements to be visible in the menu since not all of them have their final commands. And it hasn't reached those stages of development yet, but those who have played the original games on which they are based will have no problem using the special ones since they use the same or very similar commands.

I remember when i did play DBZ SB2 for the first time...good memories !
I really had the 16 bit vibe playing this and i'm happy that you choose the keep the things simple.
Any chances for an Android 13 (this one can transform in Super 13) in this simplified style ?
.
I suggest to put similar chars in the same slot (pretty easy in Ikemen) like Imperfect Cell (Semi Perfect Cell ?) and Perfect Cell. This would make the select screen even cleaner and cool.
The only thing missing is the split screen system, but this is to ask too much even for Ikemen Go engine.
Anyway thank you very much for share this gem with us. I loved the game.

Thank you very much for the review. Unfortunately I have no plans to include non-canonical or post-Z (GT/Super) characters to the roster at least while the base game continues to be developed. I want to polish it to the maximum with the current elements and then if a community is formed we could expand it together. There is going to be a new char in the next update that will be Semi Perfect Cell but it is in the earliest stages of its construction since there is a spriter that is working exclusively for this game.

The Split Screen system is something that could only be emulated by zoom, but it wouldn't be the result we're all looking for, so all that remains is to polish the beam struggle system to the maximum to achieve the result we want.

Thank you for using my characters and stuff. Greatly honored!

Also I have sad news.

I found out recently that GohanSSM2 has passed away.
Ace was a mugen hero to me, I looked up to his creations.
Its really hard to find his creations now (without some troublesome websites).

Your game including his characters is a blessing to me.

Rest in peace The Ace Man!

I have learned a lot thanks to you the times we have spoken on YouTube. And the news just left me cold. He was one of my many teachers without knowing they were. May he rest in peace.
