Which Buu incarnation is that? If it's Kid Buu, his hands are too small, and his tail/antenna is too thin. Other than that you are off to a good start. I'm a huge DBZ fan, so if you need any help or criticism, I can help (and so can MysticSpade).

What are you talking about? Buu's american voice actor makes him sound like the monster he is.

As for most powerful, yes, Vegito is indeed the most powerful character...but Gogeta and Gohan are the most popular (as well as Piccolo and Android 18, oh yea, and Tien (Tenshinhan)).

dang chrono how did you figure i was a DBZ fan haha. but yeah any question you got i can help. i know pretty much everything there is to know bout DBZ GT and AF ( i usually get flamed for that one) and their characters. so just let me know.

also the hands should be more ball like in roundness. i may be wrong but his antenae is too long it loos like.

You probably get flamed because AF doesn't truly exist. I'm surprised you don't get flamed for being a GT fan ^_^.

Not saying GT wasn't a good series, but it contradicted so many elements of DB and DBZ that it just seemed like it was about "how can we make so-and-so a stronger super saiyan".

The biggest mistakes in GT - killing off Piccolo for good, and allowing Gohan to reach Super Saiyan while he was in Mystic state. I don't want to cause many arguments, but those were my two HUGE beefs with the GT series.

Oh, and um...the hands are a bit too thin. Also, his chest was a LOT more muscular and broader than that. Buu was thick in the muscles department, but had a very thin abdomen. Also, his head needs to be a tad larger, the tail needs to be a tad thicker, and you need to define his eyebrows.

I guess the main problem is that his upper body is not in proportion with his lower body as it is defined in the show.

how's the model comin man. don't give up on it. i personally don't like it when ppl don't complete their models it shows lack of motivation. i know it's your choice to complete it or not. but that's how i feel on un finished models.


BTW: Chrono Gohan was able to reach SSJ because when Goku and Vegeta got everyone out of him( BUU). including Gohan. the only ones they managed to save were Dende, Mr. Satan ( Hercule for you dubbies ), Goku, and vegeta. so picollo, goten, trunks, gohan died when earth exploded. therefore when they wished for the beings of earth to be as they were befor buu. it canceled Gohan's Mystic power up. TRUST ME I WAS PISSED ABOUT IT TOO. but although AF is not a "licensed" product dependin on where you look you will be able to find the episodes. i had 32 of em until my comp crashed. but for proof of DB AF there is a SSJ-5 on DB GT final bout and i have him HAHAHA.

and i never said i was a GT fan i just said i know pretty much everythnig bout it. you can't just like one part of the series you love it all.

stupid huh

It stopped being DB after Toriyama ended it :)

Also, as far as Gohan goes, the wishes were for the earth to be restored, and for everyone to forget Buu ever existed. I know GT might try to go against canon and say that the wish canceled Gohan's mystic status, but...it didn't ^_^. I still can't believe they are going to dub GT...because people talk about SSJ4 and SSJ5 like they are SS forms. They aren't.

By the way, I know all about the Buu saga (including Japanese episodes) so this argument could go all day :P let's just try to help this guy get his model in good shape.

yes i too know the in's and out's of the BUU saga (japs too). but i'm pretty sure that's y gohan was able to go SSJ, that or between the timeline of the two he figured out a way to divide the two. so he could use SSJ as normal transformation and Mystic as his SSJ-2 transformation. but yes i agree we can continue our discussion further through PM's. but right now help snakeyes is the important thing to do. cuz i don't want to be the reason that his thread got closed.

Excellent muscle definition. Make sure his deltoids and biceps are more defined, as they were in the series. Plus, bring his brows out a'la Piccolo. Plus, his neck needs to be thinner.

Sorry, but getting them in-game isn't my forte yet. Talk to Toonces or some of the other guys who are more experienced with that one :)

I think that's Super Gokou 4 you're thinking of. LOL. And the Gotenks code is a fake, too.

Sorry. That was kinda off-topic. You should make a Super Buu and have the different skins of his forms when he absorbs people like Gotenks, Piccolo, and Gohan.

ummm....NO! cuz i have two diff save files. one of SSJ-4 Goku, and the other of SSJ-5. bein the avid fan i am i do believe that i'd know the diff between lvls 4 and 5. and the Gotenks code is only for the Japanese version of the game. i have him as well, and Gogeta. (no i don't mean Vegetto).


but your idea for diff forms is a good one.

yea but different forms would have to mean seperate models... cos skins wouldnt do it justice :S so ill probably do it when i complete the base of buu what do you think about the changes though

Spade, enough of the AF. It doesn't exist. A fan made some drawings, edited a few things on others, and made a manga based off of it. And I know you are lying about GT: Final Bout having SSJ5 Goku (who doesn't even exist anyway) because I have played the game and have several friends who play it...he is not in there. Not only that, the game came out before AF was even thought up.

Your Buu is starting to look great snake, but round the abs out some more. As for different forms, you could easily turn Kid Buu into Super Buu by increasing the scale and lengthening his tail on his head. But things like Fat Buu and Evil Buu would be kind of harder. You could cheat and make Evil Buu an alternate skin, and also have a skin of him wearing Gohan's gi...it's up to you.

yes you would have to make diff models. BUT if you make one Super Buu model. all you would have to do is alter the torso. but your new pic updates look WAY to defined. kinda smooth the cuts around the edges not too much tho.

and Chrono i have the proof. i have AF eps on VCD's right now. i bought them from Lone Star comix. like i said they might not be licensed products but there are eps out there. i know that AF is fan based too. but i do have that save file on Build-Up. i'm not lyin man i swear. u can believe what ya want. like i said i usually get flamed for talkin bout AF cuz there's not enuff proof to support it's existence.

I didn't say AF didn't exist. I said AF didn't officially exist. It's not licensed, and if there are "videos" (which I've searched for and found none) they are fanfic videos.

And you're right, I don't believe you. I believe you may have obtained an incredibly high power level in GT using Build-up mode, but I know for a fact that SSJ5 Goku is not in it. GT: Final Bout is DBZ/GT only, and AF didn't even exist when it was released.

I don't really care if you want to keep going on about AF's existence (Toei/Bandai would never have put a fanfic in a DBZ game), but at the very least you could come clean about having the character in the game. His power yes, his likeness, no.

so it'd be the one that fought Gotenks in the room of spirit and time. if so, his torso is way too small. he had broad shoulders. but your torso on your model is more structured like kid buu.

he also needs to be much lankier. Majin Buu had really broad shoulders that seamed into his neck, and had a really thick abdomen. He also had monkey like arms, where they were muscular towards the biceps, but the forearms where like Popeye's.

no me and Chrono did go off topic but we did know what we are talkin about. and just cuz we know alot about certain topics we are nerds? then i guess imma nerd, cuz i know alot about many different things. but me and chrono also helped snakeeyes out on his model. just cuz me and Chrono had a discussion doesn't mean we were cause for him to drop his model. that just shows he lacks patience and attention skills. even if he takes a very long while to make it, at least he wouldn't have given up on it.
