Why piccolo has kamehameha

[michalmermer]

I think he should have a light granade attack and destructive wave

 

[Adaptus]

Piccolo does not have Kamehameha, my friend.

I'm not sure, but I think he might be getting the Geikireitsukodan (sp?) in 1.3, which I think is the Light Grenade. Don't quote me on that, though. Look here:

That's from the new gallery with pictures for ESF 1.3.

Actually, that kind of looks like Masenko.

And Piccolo doesn't have Kamehameha.

 

[DaRkOwNs]

i believe the "kamehameha" hes talking about is his generic beam animation which looks alot like the Khh

Actually, that kind of looks like Masenko

right now it is probably masenko, just with the light grenade animation
they still probably have to code the attack

Yup. Masenko. That looks nothing like Kamahameha.

There's much confusion in this thread. In the outline it says Piccolo will be getting Makosen (yellow kamehameha type beam) but the image is clearly a Light Grenade (shining ball of energy charged with two hands in front of the body). Maybe he'll be getting both?

 

[Vegeta]

Well if you can provide us with a picture of Piccolo performing a 'Masenko' then I'll agree with you. But as I recall, Piccolo's 'Makosen' is Gohan's 'Masenko'--and it hardly resembles a Kamehameha, because it's charged and executed differently.

If I remember correctly, Piccolo yelled "Makosen Ha!" when firing this at Cell:

As for the Light Grenade, I won't argue it's any different than Piccolo's 'Makosen.' Maybe there needs to be animation and translation tweaks.

 

[Ravendust]

Gohan and Piccolo's Masenko are the same. Makosen is Masenko charged from the waist like the Kamehameha.

If I remember correctly, Piccolo yelled "Makosen Ha!" when firing this at Cell

Dubbing error, he also shouted Makosen Ha when firing the Makosen at Android #17. In the japanese he shouts Makosen Ha when firing the Makosen at Android #17 but Geikireitsukodan when firing the Light Grenade. They're clearly not the same attack, Light Grenade is a white ball with light shooting out of it charged in front of the body, Makosen is a yellow beam charged from the side of the waist.

 

[Vegeta]

Makosen is Masenko charged from the waist like the Kamehameha.

Of course, but Piccolo's Makosen is not yellow, it's blue.

Dubbing error, he also shouted Makosen Ha when firing the Makosen at Android #17. In the japanese he shouts Makosen Ha when firing the Makosen at Android #17 but Geikireitsukodan when firing the Light Grenade.

He charged both Makosens at his waist during the Cell Saga, and one appeared yellow and the other blue. Since these translations are somewhat inaccurate it's hard to define the attack differences. I'm assuming 'Light Grenage' is Piccolo's 'Scatter Shot', so that leaves, Masenko(charged at the forehead), Makosen(Yellow-Side-charged like Kamehameha), Makosen(Blue-Front-charged like Kamehameha). Marrgh.

 

[Ravendust]

You're going to have to back that up with pics, it's definatley yellow;

Light Grenade/Geikireitsukodan (vs. Imperfect Cell)
Masenko/Masenkoha (vs. Super Perfect Cell)
Makosen/Makosenha (vs. Android #17)
Scattershot (leading to Hellzone Grenade) (vs. Android #17)
Destructive Wave (vs. Android #17)

 

[Vegeta]

Aye. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

On the topic of game mechanics, something I never understood is why piccolo's masenko and gohan's "masenko" (Power beam) are the same stregnth, when the masenko takes 2x the amount of ki to charge.

 

[Kenny83]

Light.. grenade.. *drools*. That is one phat beam. I hope that will be in 1.3 instead of the dubbed "Makosen".

 

[Skyrider]

Ravendust, i'm not sure about that "Makosen/Makosenha (vs. Android #17)".. That looks wrong. I don't think that is the makosen attack.

 

[Malarky]

piccolo sure likes his beams

 

[Ravendust]

Ravendust, i'm not sure about that "Makosen/Makosenha (vs. Android #17)".. That looks wrong. I don't think that is the makosen attack.

How can it 'look wrong'? It's from the show and he says Makosen in both languages.

The only other attack he says Makosen for is the Light Grenade/Gekiretsukodan, but that's a dubbing error, they're not the same attack.

@Kenny - Light Grenade/Gekiretsukodan is a ball, not a beam.

 

[nge]

You know, if the light grenade was added I am wondering what purpose it would have- the SBC covers as a "ball type" attack quite effectively for Piccolo right now.

 

[Kenny83]

Raven.. but in that picture isn't it a beam.. or am I just looking at it the wrong way?

 

[.Maze]

SBC gonna be attached i think so its like an Beam then.

Raven posted screens from the episode Piccolo used it:

It does look like a beam in those screencaps. Watch the episode, it has a slow start but you'll see that it's a sphere once it's completely launched.
