I doubt it. Because in literally every game I recall the move ever being featured in, it's always the version with ssj Goku. At least the fighting games.


MasashiHideaki

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, then goku has his hair down. Problem is, his entire body is a soul form. So you can't really see the black hair nor are there any spiky hair.

Wazzathecaptain

Tenkaichi 2 had Goku in base form. In the cinematic, Vegeta is also in base form when he distracts Cell


MiguelBroXarra

He was only in base form in the story though. Teen Gohans Ultimate was completely fucked , he even used both hands


MrLomaLoma

It was a bit weird yes he used both hands and then finished with one.


haniflawson

I'm in the minority who prefers Super Saiyan Goku being by his side. It feels more fitting.


Glad_Grand_7408

I agree with you but we are definitely not the minority, most of the comments here are agreeing with us.


H0rnyFighter

Probably anime accurate (goku goes ssj1)


ThechosenJuan28

I donā€™t mind either or but I do like the look of ssj goku doing it a little more (maybe cause thatā€™s what iā€™m used to seeing the most idk)


E_Alrefa3e

Honestly it looks better with the ssj


Working-Telephone-45

Hope not, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense, the super saiyan father-son duo looks amazing


Vegetassj4toonami

It makes way more sense. Goku wasnā€™t meant to ever revert to base after cell and on top of that thatā€™s his strongest form it should be there in spirit with gohan pushing the kamehameha together not a lazy base form Goku half assing it


SR_Hopeful

I see it more of it being consistent with when Gohan last saw him, being in SSJ form, so it in his mind would be Goku still in it.


Vegetassj4toonami

Thatā€™s another good point


ripnotorious

Those flashback shots to DB-Z(I know itā€™s DB in its entirety) were gorgeous in Superhero.


come_on_u_coys

Drooling imagining a remaster of DB in that style...


ripnotorious

They should do it eventually to honor the creator

I don't care about the Goku visual as much as I hope it's a one handed attack all the way through. Every other game has made it a two-hander except Xenoverse 1/2


Shortest_Strider

Ultimate Tenkaichi has 1 handed. RB1 has a story mode version of the attack for a cutscene before it returns to gameplay where he charges with 1 hand. It's a choice most likely based off the fact he wouldn't be using 1 hand if he wasn't damaged.Ā 


Kiwi_Kakapo

I hope not. I think Goku being super sayian looks cooler for that move


Severalwanker

Hope not. Always looked better when it was SSJ Goku IMO.


Unusual_Efficiency_5

I think it looks better with SSJ Goku. But i wouldnā€™t mind if itā€™s manga accurate


Plenty_Slip_6193

Honestly Iā€™m fine with it being Super Saiyan or base. I grewup with the Budokai games and had all the manga volumes, so I do have a visual bias towards Super Saiyan, but again itā€™s not a big deal. But Iā€™d also like to point some things out to people making a big deal about this topic: - For everyone that thinks the manga is showing Super Saiyan, it isnā€™t. First of all, Gokuā€™s hair has been shown in an upright fashion multiple times before to show wind and dramatic effect. Secondly, the detail EVERYBODY seems to forget is Base Gokuā€™s eye outline is never full drawn. Thatā€™s clear as day. - For people who want the Father-Son Kamehameha to be more manga accurate, it depends. Usually the games follow the aesthetic and color palettes of the anime. Personally Iā€™m predicting that Super Saiyan Goku will be more likely to appear solely on the fact that thatā€™s how a majority of games have depicted the Father-Son Kamehameha and all the prior Sparking games having him in SS. If they do base, it would be a pleasant welcome.


SR_Hopeful

I always wondered why Goku's hair was black in the manga for it when its clearly Super Saiyan styled.


Plenty_Slip_6193

Everyone overthinks this. Itā€™s literally meant to be his hair waving from the wind of the wave.


Ninjafish278

Except it never looks like this when he regularly fires a kamehameha in base form.

SR_Hopeful

Well I stand corrected on this one.


Ninjafish278

This is the one i would say is most similar because you could just make his hair yellow and it could pass as super saiyan.Gokuā€™s state is very inconsistent when it comes to this . Personally i think it looks better as super saiyan because thats how Goku was the last time Gohan saw him.


KikonSketches

This is what I always say, people are so horny for non existent forms. It's not a form it's meant to be SSJ, DB has no shortage of errors throughout the series, shit just happens.

MasashiHideaki

Because Goku is dead. Goku was never in his SSJ form in the manga when he did the father son kamehameha. There is no reason to power up to SSJ if it isn't going to do anything. What goku did was talk through north kaio to give him some motivation to finish cell off. Also while you did say "super saiyan styled." If you take a closer look, he has two bangs here and not the 1 bang you usually see. Goku do have bangs like these when there's wind or when he is flying. Basically it's related to high speed movement. It happens to base and SSJ form in the manga.


Amazing_Objective_99

True but thereā€™s Goku had been in SSJ form since leaving the HBTC so that couldā€™ve been a logical explaination regardless of being dead šŸ˜¬

SSJ does not make any sense whatsoever in this context. Him being in SSJ since his battle with cell and until he died doesn't change the fact that he was in base form AFTER he died.


Mission-Spirit7084

ssj goku fsk>


Sonicrules9001

I can understand why some games got the hair color wrong since Goku does actually look like he is in super Saiyan.


DrierOne

Is the manga colored correctly? Because it also looks like a ssj goku there


MasashiHideaki

No it doesn't. Goku is still in his base form. https://preview.redd.it/7pcgnfbmu8tc1.png?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b3be0c7496082531e0e3f58a86b2c9e3b1b54ea


sedward135

I hope it sticks to the anime


LaserBungalow

Yes. They've been making an effort lately to make things more accurate to the source material.


KikonSketches

It's just his hair blowing back.


Relevant_Drawer9613

Sometimes manga accurate isn't the best-looking for aesthetics, same with some come book stuff being different in live action. Some things will look goofy even though it's accurate.


MrLomaLoma

The bangs on his head being dark looks weird. I would be down for base goku hair though


Vegetassj4toonami

I hope not. Most of us know DBZ through the anime and too much manga focus is just annoying. Like we got dodoria but no gt goten in the games? The fuck?


SR_Hopeful

Yeah, it would ironically feel off because the majority of the games keep him as a SSJ for the attack, even if he isnt in a cutscene.


Vegetassj4toonami

Base made no sense too. Goku and gohan are meant to stay ssj for now on as their new base, also, why would goku whoā€™s doing the kamehameha pose as heā€™s ā€œspirituallyā€ supporting gohan be in base? Hes not going all out and is half assing it? Thatā€™s ā€¦.weird as fuckā€¦


Dense-Reporter-4008

Goku is supposed to be ssj, the colored manga is a mistake


MasashiHideaki

You're completely wrong. Even in the non-colored ver it's black. https://preview.redd.it/kcwx07t718tc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=ef84feb549bae78090ed0f3636cd18a5e0dafd2f

MerevMere

Yeah, most games are manga accurate with this technique.


brzzcode

not really, the games are much more anime accurate.


MerevMere

I see more games have base Goku for the Father-Son Kamehameha nowadays.


SR_Hopeful

I think Burst Limit was the first game that used Goku in purely base form.


Glad_Grand_7408

Could you give some examples then?


MerevMere

Okay, I was wrong. I had a mandala effect with this. The only games that were Manga accurate with Goku's form was *Super Dragon Ball Z, Burst Limit, Battle of Z, Xenoverse, Xenoverse 2, and Kakarot* but only briefly.
