Custom Super Saiyan Hair?

[Terminated]

I'm hearing that you don't get actual Super Saiyan hair. Does that mean your hair doesn't change at all or does it go gold but not change shape?

[Ralen]

Your hair turns yellow/gold but it does not change shape. I haven't seen SSJ2 yet, but I'm assuming the only difference between it and SSJ will be lightning bolts will occasionally spark around the custom character. Just make sure, if you are a saiyan, that you like your hairstyle. Unless you make a wish to Shenron to change your hair later, you are going to be stuck with it.

What I saw in December in a dev livestream, the hair color changed but the shape of the hair remaned the same. I haven't seen any of the livestreams from japan showcasing the super saiyan transformation so I don't know if they made it so the hair shape change with the transformation.

So right now I am of the opinion the hair stays the same shape that you give your character in creation.

edit: pax beat me to it :p

Yep. It hasn't changed. I've been frequently watching the streams from Japan the last few days. The hair just changes colors, but the shape remains the same. In the larger scheme of things, it doesn't have an impact on the game. However, SSJ hair is probably the most iconic aspect of DBZ. I can forgive Dimps for not having it all in there due to the sheer ambition of this game. However, if and when DBXV2 happens, I want SSJ and SSJ2 rendered properly for all custom characters. Heck, we can throw SSJ3 and perhaps SSJ4 in the mix as well.

They could've just used Burst Limit's hair phisics and give it a raised animation for super saiyan.

I'm sure actual SSJ hair is something that was probably on Dimps' list of things to do. For whatever reason, it just didn't make the cut and they had other priorities to consider. Besides the hair not changing shape, the transformation is still clearly SSJ. It will just be a bit underwhelming compared to what it could be.

It could always be fixed in a patch. But I wouldn't get my hopes up

True, but rumor mill has it there won't be a DBXV2, if there is might just be a huge dlc pack 2-3yrs down the road. Guess it all depends on how well DBXV does though. Downside to a standalone DBXV2, we would probably lose the characters we spent time leveling in DBXV. That is if they make the 2nd version standalone from the current. The other option is a true expansion to the existing game, but that depends on whether the current engine can support the additions. Which means they would have to tweak the game engine if it requries it. Either way is do-able, but I would rather it be a true expansion to the game so I can keep my characters, or have a character transfer system in place to move DBXV custom characters to DBXV2. But I'm not against re-leveling characters, just find it tedious to restart characters I spent time leveling and gearing. Only time will tell.

The thing about a true exapnsion. It would work well on computers but consoles might have an issue especially the PS3/Xbox360 depending on the space left on the hard drives and hard drive size. Of course by the time they decide what to do Sony and Microsoft will probably be trying to phase the PS3/Xbox360 out or they will already be phased out.

We'll just have to wait and see how the game does. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sequel. Dimps certainly hasn't suggested they will support this game beyond the Season Pass additions. As far as character transfers, that's a risky business. Especially since the 360 and PS3 might be phased out by the time of the potential sequel, who knows how that would turn out. Either way, I'm hopeful this is only the beginning of a new high standard for DBZ games to follow.

I agree on all points. The character transfers would be tricky and risky. So that idea would probably have to be scrapped.
I hope they decide to support DBXV for a few years or until they decide if they are going to make a DBXV2.

back to topic: The main issue I see, is all the hair styles need to be animated/programed to go to ssj 1-2 forms. That isn't easy to do. My guess would be if they tried it or started working on hair transformations at one time and postponed the idea, they would still have the programming from that time. So they could go back to it and finish it. The downside is, all hair options for male and female saiyans would have to be animated or rather have the animation added to them. It would take sometime. Would also have to take into account that any hair options added through DLC would need this done to them as well. But, I don't see why it couldn't be done.

Either way, as long as the gameplay is enjoyable I can probably make due without the hair transformations. Although, at the same time I would like that little extra detail lol.

This will probably be an obvious answer, but I just want to make sure.

What about that facial hair you get to choose during mouth/jaw customisation, does that change colour when you turn super saiyan?

[Shan]

I saw Raditz style hair popping up during a gameplay video. For all those who didn't like the fact that your custom character can't go SSJ 3, you can create the illusion of it.

[ShowOfTimes]

Dont worry im sure someone will mod a hair fix into the game

[DjPufnStuf]

Or they trick you and SSj turns your head into doctor robotnik lmao.

[SINF]

Ok so we know hair just changes color, but what about eye color?
