You gotta have real good hand eye coordination if you have six hands.

Basically, the DBZ game I've been waiting my whole life for. Interesting that they used the same shader technology that's in SFxT and SF4 :O. Wonder if we will see some...CROSS IP ACTION?

Cyber Connect 2 knows how to make great fluid animation integrate well into gameplay. The cinematics for the .Hack//G.U. series were great and the the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games looked and moved like the anime.  This game looks like it's going to be a lot of flash like Naruto and insane over-the-top fights. Day ! buy. Too bad the dub sucks. Will be giving the Naruto and switching right to the Japanese track.

For a game striving for over-the-top crazyness, that environment was really dull and flat.

@SejsCube: They are on the moon. If you pause around the 6-7 second mark, you can just barely see Earth. It starts behind the bar on top of the screen and very quickly moves to the right off screen. Start at 0:05 and wail on the spacebar.

What's with the 3/4 sideways third person camera? How do you know you're going to dodge those incoming lines?

This will either be amazing or complete QTE-riddled crap. Crossing my fingers for the former.

Love the look of the action ... the location leaves something to be desired.
 
Unless that fight is taking place on the moon, then it's acceptable.  Otherwise it looks like it's just a random quarry in Wales.
