Naruto and Dragonball, the Same?

[missingo]

Bandai has stated that the games will be similiar.

Lets assume that they'll keep the Battle Rewards and Turn Drops.
Battle Rewards obviously become Dragonball instead of 10 you need 7. Simple.

You have turn drops, but lets look at this a little more in depth..

Early drops..

Dragonball Characters, especially Goku and Krillin.
Kids like Kid Trunks, Goten, Pan, etc.
Kais with ongoing effects
Dende
Minions.

Mid drops..

Teens like SSJ2 Gohan, Future Trunks, Videl
Dragonball characters that are teens, Yamcha, Bulma
Minions, once again, but ones with bigger roles like Jeice, Guldo, Burter, Vinegar, Spice, Turles.
Lesser Z Warriors like Krillin, Tien, etc.
Kame

Late drops..
This is obvious, the big boys.
Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo.
Also though villians. Frieza, Cell, Recoome, Cpt. Ginyu, Buu

Really late drops..

Oozarus, very similiar to summons in Naruto
SSJ4s


This game and Naruto are so similiar its incredible, now lets go onto Jutsus/Techniques

Techniques would be very similiar to Jutsus, heres an example

Masenko Ha
Saiyan|Saiyan
Requirements: Kid Gohan
Effect: Select two opponents battling the user. Those opponents receive 1 damage.

Now, Missions can go a few ways.

1) They can stay similiar to missions, have different events from the show.
2) Kais and teachers could be missions and cause different things to happen over the course of the battling, all while giving you Ki
3) Some unique thing Bandai thinks of.

Obviously 1 would be most likely.

Chakra would become Ki.
Discard would become Other World or HFIL.

[Chronomaster]

The problem with the Dragonball thing is that there are Dragonball cards, and Wish events that only work when you have all 7 Dragonballs.

Thus, the game couldn't end from that manner.

[CaMeRoN]

I hope it's not structured that way. I'm goign to play regardless but I really hope it isn't structured that way.

[Goldenwill]

Yeah, when i first heard of this game i was hoping it would be character based like the DBZ games of the past. But hearing it is similar to naruto also peaks my interest. I cannot wait for more INFO!!!

I see the wish cards..hmm.. perhaps you would need to draw your wish card stating you win while having 7 DB, but the problem is that your opponent can take DB making it difficult. IDK. Good point.
I hope it's not structured that way. I'm goign to play regardless but I really hope it isn't structured that way.
It will be stuctured similiar, they said it was like Naruto, and it can easily be transfered to be like Naruto.

BILL
Yes we need more INFO!!!

[CaMeRoN]

From what I'm reading about the European version of the game. You search out a dragonball from your deck at the end of every turn. I assume that means that after seven turns you will have all the dragonballs where you will be able to make a wish.

Can you give me more info on wishes and how the game is ended?

[Chronomaster]

It's probably better just to let BoA release the rulebook since speculating is probably just going to get confusing.

[SolarFlare]

hopefully there will be "shuffle target dragonball back into it's owner's deck" effects. Otherwise,whichever "wish" card is best will be un-needly expensive

[Mr_Flare]

Please wait for the rulebook to be released before speculating on how the game mechanics will work. Thank you.

Mr Flare

[SolarFlare]

Gee..i wonder who "Mr. Flare" is....

[CaMeRoN]

Please wait for the rulebook to be released before speculating on how the game mechanics will work. Thank you.

Mr Flare

When the rulebook is released we will know how the game mechanics will work by reading it :P It's all in good fun Mr. Flare ^^ Thanks for your concern though :D

[CaMeRoN]

Gee..i wonder who "Mr. Flare" is....

Probably Mr. Wheat :P

[Mr_Flare]

Probably Mr. Wheat :P

You're probably wrong.

[CaMeRoN]

You're probably wrong.

Aww okay :( Sorry for thinking you were someone you wern't Mr. Flare.

[Mr_Chaff]

Speculate away... don't let Mr_Flare scare you.

But on a whole... you guys are getting warmer on the "Dragon Ball" mechanic.

[Kintaro]

So then are the rules he's reading similar or not? I keep hearing two different things, and was working on translating the Japanese rules based on hearing that this was a port of the current game there.

And why do you get to know so much, and those of us supporting it are left in the dark?!? Hmmm?:D

[Kintaro]

I could see a "put a dragonball into play at end of turn" type mechanic instead of using an automatic Turn counter like in naruto

a variation of having "zero drop, one drop, two drop" like in other Bandai CCG *COUGHnarutoCOUGH*

So if we're on the right track, and you get one every turn, what happens to them once you make your wish?

This reminds me of the months before the SHIPPUUDEN game came out, when we were all gathering little bits of info here and there....

good times...good times.....

WHOO!! TIME WARP FORUM GLITCH!! LOST has got NOTHING on BANDAI!! HEHEHE

One problem with this, I thought it was DRAGONBALL not DRAGONBALL Z, and they weren't in dragonball.

Per the press release, we're getting all sagas at once.....

Or something like that - I was never too familiar with the show......

do something hellishly powerful. Like giving all Attacking Fighters Trample or "you get (insert battle reward reference) as if fighters were not blocked"

Or "if your oppoenen does not have a SS in play, destroy target Planet with "Name: Earth"

[CaMeRoN]

The game features Dragonball, Dragonball Z, and Dragonball GT :P
Don't worry about it. you might want to look at Jtakenaka's news post though ;)

I believe I heard something about them being compatible. I am not sure if it means what I think tho....

[gotenxss3ftw!]

Sorry for the double post, but this confuses me.
Are all 3 sagas coming out at once, or are they going to be released in multiple sets (i.e. DB, then DBZ, then DBGT)?

[Kintaro]

[CaMeRoN]

Nope. They are goign to be released in one huge set. They will take a dash of dragonball, a pinch of dragonball z, and a tablespoon of dragonball Gt. Put them all into a box with boosters and you have an awesome card game :D

That's going to suck. On and on and on without ever having any new relief through another set?

the card game is not going in chornological(sp) order, the first set is going to have some dragonball and dragonball z cards, there will be no GT in the first set.


also I recieved an email from Kim in response to my questions.

It will not be like naruto....I do not have a time table for the previews, the rules will go up in June or so, there will be demo decks..probably at Origins and I have no idea about the message boards.

Cool, man! I'm glad it isn't going to be in chronological order. That made card games way too boring. Now we won't know what is coming in the next set, making the set lists all that much more exciting. I'm a little dissapointed there is no GT in the first set but beggers can't be choosers and this begger isn't about to give up his old ways.

So you get different cards per set, you're eventually going to get them...

[Great_Ape_TEM]

I don't see a need to compare this card game's system to Naruto CCG. Naruto CCG has nothing to do with this card game so I find this topic quite pointless. Even if some things about it are the same, its still its own unique card game so don't worry about it. When you play this game its going to be DBZ CCG not Naruto CCG =/

[Super Saiyan 2 Goku]

Well how about not comparing this with Naruto yet? Reasons

1.The Game isn't out yet


Thats reason enough

It's being compared for fun. We arn't making a mess out of things. If you don't want to participate then please don't. Negativety isn't waht we are looking for in this topic. Reasonably positive comments is all that people ask ^^

The two games are actually very similar. In other topics here we have learned that the game mechanics are nearly identical aside from some name changing and a couple card changes. Bandai is working on a seperate set of rules that makes the two games compatible with eachother. I think that really hits the head on the nail that they are similar. Not the same but similar enough to play against eachother in a competative or fun environment.

Im not thinking negatively. I think its idiotic to compare two card games with each other especially since not many official news have been released for this card game most of it, is speculation. Wouldn't it be smarter to bring up the other DBZ card game and talk about it? After all I do believe DBZ and DBZ are the same name.

Good point. They certainly are the same. However there is strong suspicion and small bits of evidence that say that they are quite similar. There isn't much speculation to say anything to the contrary.

yes I agree this is speculation but there is a difference is speculating with evidence rather then running around like a chicken with his head cut off stating fact with no evidence. The speculation is based on the info a member of this site posted on what he seen in the April edition to SJ.

[Goldenwill]

Also we can't compare the new game to the previous DBZ games because they were created by a completely different company.. This is Bandai's DBZ, Thats why i am excited...

See, I was saying the same thing to begin with, but after some consideration, I came to the conclusion that

1) I know far more younger kids who can spiel off the whole of the DB universe stuff than I do anyone else, and

2) I have a bunch of awsome tourny ideas!! and

3) How easy would it be to get your players (if you're a judge/Meijin) into this game as well?

Win-Win, bro....

Sadly to say I don't think this new Dragonball CCG is leaning toward my expectations of how great the Old DBZ and GT games from Score Entertainment were.

Where's the 5-6 Martial Arts Style Tokui-Waza's, being able to perform Energy and Physical Attacks, and being able to advance a personality level like fom Level 1-5?

If anything the Dragonball CCG should be different from the Naruto CCG, the game mechanics for the new game seem a bit flawed but then again it's way too early to tell cause you can't always judge a book by it's cover until you read it.

I'll have to crack a Starter to find out in the next few months...

Nicely said man! Say it like it is because that's exactly what is going on. I applaud you.

I think the 5-6 Martial Art styles will be reflected the same as the elements are in Naruto CCG.

The Physical and Energy attacks will probably perform something like jutsu.

It's not going to be the same but all the while I am looking forward to it for reasons that Kintaro mentioned;
) I know far more younger kids who can spiel off the whole of the DB universe stuff than I do anyone else, and

2) I have a bunch of awsome tourny ideas!! and

just becuse it's not like the old z does not make this game a failure.

[CaMeRoN]

Very true Soviet Prince. I'm fairly certain that this game will be a success because of how similar it is to the Naruto CCG. There are a lot of pros to doing that which really hit home with the players.

[SSJ2 Gohan]

agreed i was told that scores dbz game was shyt and i know this one will be better

[CaMeRoN]

Haha, well that is a matter of opinion. A lot of people regard the old score DBZ games as the best anime card game of all-time. Then again, a lot of people didn't like it. I respect your opinion to not like it. I played a couple games with GoldenWill and enjoyed it.

[missingo]

agreed i was told that scores dbz game was shyt and i know this one will be better
Not at all.

I like how you're basing your oppinion from what you've been told.

The score's game was the BEST anime game ever. It took time to learn, you couldn't just pick it up after one practice game like Naruto and YGO. It was completely different, it took different thinking and you never knew when a new deck would pop up. Yes, it became a money game but those of us with "connections" could easily get cards. Tuff Enuff was amazing, and was my favorite out of all the tournys. Being able to get stuff signed and see the DBZ hummer was amazing.

[DNaraku]

Old Z was awesome, but like Zero said in some other topic, all of Bandai's games are really fun to play. How they are handled as far as OP and the popularity of the franchise goes will determine the lifespan of the game.

[Evil Jim]

Old Z was awesome, but like Zero said in some other topic, all of Bandai's games are really fun to play. How they are handled as far as OP and the popularity of the franchise goes will determine the lifespan of the game.

Agreed, I believe Bandai was the ones that made the first Gundam game(the one before Gundam War). That game was awesome, well, we(the group that played) changed some of the rules, to make it more of a direct attack game, instead of completing missions.

[DNaraku]

The only gripe I may have about the prizing is if we just get Shiny reprints like we do now in Naruto. I want tourny exclusive promos.

Wes, PM your Brawl code on PlayTcg. I think Freeman already gave you mine.

Exactly!

Reprints are more fair!

[Goldenwill]

The reprints are cool.. However if you do tourney exclusive promos then it just becomes that much more competative...

[CaMeRoN]

The reprints are cool.. However if you do tourney exclusive promos then it just becomes that much more competative...

Yeah, I'd prefer competative over reprints. Reprints are boring and don't reward much. The only way I'd go for a reprint is if it had a really nice alternate art of that card. Otherwise, there is nothing to make me want it.

If we give out exclusive promos then the competativeness of the game is raised up another level. This would give other players a sense of fiery ambition to strive for first in their local tournaments. That way they can obtain the exclusive cards that everyone has sought after.

[Jarrett]

Wasn't this one of the problems with the original DragonBall Z CCG? Why, yes it was!

I do think new promotional cards wouldn't be bad to give out, as long as they are fairly common and not too extreme to get (like the old DBZ CCG).

Yeah, I agree with you. We are talking promos that we would win at local weekly events. Not the bigger tournaments. I know Canada got jipped on some of the promos in the old Z game. SCORE created US exclusive promos in Kraft Diner that were amazing. There was no way to get those if you were a Canadian player, unless you wanted to pay a lot of money or pay extra for your Kraft Diner :(

main that sucks hopefully it's better for you in this game.

[Ice-Prince]

It got mad similarities no doubt, but it'll be great. If the Show was still going on, this game would boom way faster than the Naruto one. No doubt.

[soviet prince]

yeah if the show was still rinning new episodes this game will skyrocket.

[Berlu]

Well Cartoon Network was running DBZ eps. on Saturday nights, but for some reason it wasn't on tonight. If they put DBZ on every weekday like they used to and make some commercials advertising the game that would have an awesome impact.

Although CN and Bandai would have to work out some kind of agreement because I'm sure CN wouldn't start running DBZ on weekdays by themselves.
I'm not sure how that works, but that's why I'm not a TV executive.

[soviet prince]

I think maybe starting from scratch and running a new episode every saturday like the series is just coming out and play reruns on weekdays.

[Curse Marke Sasuke]

I'm to lazy to read through 5 pages of posts so I'm just going to post based on the thread title.

Maybe some of you have played Magic, VS, or Duel Masters.
Well all of those games are similar, but not exactly the same.
If Bandai is saying that DBZ will be similar to Naruto, don't assume that it will be extremely close.
The games could just have various similarities like shared game mechanics and game play, much like the above mentioned games.

I understand your point but I do not fully agree with you. Bandai has said that they will make the DragonBall CCG compatible with the Naruto CCG. I think the fact that you can't play Yu-Gi-Oh! VS Magic really throws out your idea. Now, we can play DragonBall VS Naruto as they will be compatible. Some games do share game mechanics but this is a huge step up from that. The games will be able to play against eachother. We can't say that for any other game (that i know of).

Oh, I never knew Bandai had said that. Then yes, my idea is thrown out the window.
Also, I had not seen the pictures of the DBZ cards.
I just saw them, so I do have to change my view.

But, judging from card layout its basically a copy of Naruto, at least "ninja" wise.

It got mad similarities no doubt, but it'll be great. If the Show was still going on, this game would boom way faster than the Naruto one. No doubt.

=)

I loved selling mine for lots o' money on eBay.

But, judging from card layout its basically a copy of Naruto, at least "ninja" wise.

the templates are the same but with wish cards and dragonballs being a mech in the game it looks like dball will have it's unique feel and not be an exact copy of the Naruto CCG.

Bandai has stated that the games will be similiar.

Lets assume that they'll keep the Battle Rewards and Turn Drops.
Battle Rewards obviously become Dragonball instead of 10 you need 7. Simple.

You have turn drops, but lets look at this a little more in depth..

Early drops..

Dragonball Characters, especially Goku and Krillin.
Kids like Kid Trunks, Goten, Pan, etc.
Kais with ongoing effects
Dende
Minions.

Mid drops..

Teens like SSJ2 Gohan, Future Trunks, Videl
Dragonball characters that are teens, Yamcha, Bulma
Minions, once again, but ones with bigger roles like Jeice, Guldo, Burter, Vinegar, Spice, Turles.
Lesser Z Warriors like Krillin, Tien, etc.
Kame

Late drops..
This is obvious, the big boys.
Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo.
Also though villians. Frieza, Cell, Recoome, Cpt. Ginyu, Buu

Really late drops..

Oozarus, very similiar to summons in Naruto
SSJ4s


This game and Naruto are so similiar its incredible, now lets go onto Jutsus/Techniques

Techniques would be very similiar to Jutsus, heres an example

Masenko Ha
Saiyan|Saiyan
Requirements: Kid Gohan
Effect: Select two opponents battling the user. Those opponents receive 1 damage.

Now, Missions can go a few ways.

1) They can stay similiar to missions, have different events from the show.
2) Kais and teachers could be missions and cause different things to happen over the course of the battling, all while giving you Ki
3) Some unique thing Bandai thinks of.

Obviously 1 would be most likely.

Chakra would become Ki.
Discard would become Other World or HFIL.

wow you really thought that through:p

that would be a good way t play not to complicated

i was unsure about the DBZ card game being like naruto. i mean, the naruto mechanic works for naruto, but i wonder how well it'll work for DBZ. as for the 10 rewards, maybe it'll be marked by the "destruction" of the battlefield. you know, the more rewards, the more damaged the earth has become. (if that was already said, im sorry. i didnt feel like looking through 9 pages of posts)
As for growth, i'd like a "power up" mechanic so your goku could go through SS1, SS2, SS3 and SS4 by the time the climatic end of the game comes.
But having Kakashi fight Goku.......hehehehehe......that would be awesome. (i'd want Kakashi to win, though)

[soviet prince]

Kakakishi don't stand a chance lol

I hope that the DB ccg will have a diffrent win condition then the naruto ccg.

[DragonFist]

Interesting how it might be similar, especially the way character cards seem

[soviet prince]

yeah the character cards are almost identical to naruto but hopefully they have some diffrent menings.
