I remember when he gets the power up he says something like "Finally I'm old enough to prove my worth!". If this has been changed since I've played I apologize. The idea is to change the description to something more fitting as in dragonball at the start of piccolo jr saga even though Piccolo is only 3 years old he’s already a teenager and at the start of dbz Piccolo is roughly 8 years old and already an adult. An alternative Instead of piccolo receiving his first power up at a particular level, if it’s possible, it’d be neat if the power up he receives could be triggered by the start of the saiyan saga. The description could be something like “It’s time… They’re earlier than I thought. No matter I’ve completed my training”

Receiving his first powerup at the arbitrary time of 3 minutes leaves him completely naked a the start of the game. You canget the powerup in the first minute, which es basically the only advantage piccoro has, since he starts surrounded by evil characters and NEEDS the powerup as early as possible to survive.

More so then changing when he receives the stat bonus, the main goal was to make it so that the idea of why he was receiving the power up made sense in the context of the story that's why I suggested the change in dialogue and have it be insync with when the saga arrives. It could still make sense without the power up being triggered by the saga I think though since he isn't specifically stating who the threat on the earth is but it's sort of implied that it's the saiyan saga by having it be so early. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll set this up with some simple math. 500~ dmg and 100 to all stats vs 5000~ hp enemy. You will be able to attack it roughly 10 times and therefore will gain power accordingly. If you have 1000~ dmg and 200 to all stats vs a 5000~ hp enemy you will instead attack it closer to 5 times and gain overall LESS power than you would have with less stats. Blasting works with the same idea so long as you either don't kill them or decide to aim away. So in essence... less stats = more stats in the long run.

But! if you want to stay reverted blasting the ground for 3 mins to get some shitty 500 ki extra, be my guest. Edited by Ayraclus, Nov 17 2011, 09:00 PM.
