Just a really simple suggestion, how about making the sprite for the Spirit Bomb's alternate fire's explosion (not the bomb itself) look like the one from the show instead of a regular explosion. Here's some ref pics:

Against Vegeta...


Against Dr. Wheelo...


Against Turles...


It's sort of like a spiky ball of blue electricity that branches off into smaller, spiky balls.

That actually would look cool in-game. Even though there is only one instance to where that explosion is actually in the show, it's enough. ;)
It shouldn't really be all that hard to implement.

Good luck.

It makes sence too. A large SB that creates a huge explosion for those who really dont care about aim. A secondary SB that creates those bolts that damage enemies that travel near it, and if hit a enemy directly, do more damage.

Sounds good. Though if they change the explosion sprite for this move, it couldn't hurt to do the same to others also. At the moment, every explosion is the same, just a different size and color.

When a genball (example) blows up, after the explosion there is smoke that engulfs the player. All it needs is to have no explosion sprite, and have this new sprite replace the smoke. Or have this replace the current explosion and have no smoke. Either way, the sprite can work to engulf the player.
