[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 552640, member: 79"] No offense taken. If there is one thing DBZ fans are used to, it's insults to their favorite anime, as often as not be people who don't seem to have watched more than bits and pieces of the show. No offense.:D In any case, I'd disagree. DBZ has no voice activated attacks that I can recall. There is extensive use of named attacks, but that's a staple of the fighting genre in general, from Ranma 1/2 to the Streetfighter video game. It doesn't matter if it's a kamehameha or a hadoken, if you have a cool energy attack in this genre, it's worth giving a name.:) Pointless fights is more a matter of taste. There was a point to every fight I recall in DBZ. Whether you consider it a good point or not is up to you. There was at least one element that was at times pointless but the fighting wasn't it. If you have an example of a fight you considered pointless, we have more of a basis for discussion, though. [/QUOTE]
