[hider=Halvtand's Question About Androids][quote=@Halvtand]

This leads me to another question about androids. 
When the Z-fighters are fighting the androids in DBZ we are told that they do not emit any sort of ki-signal, not until they make an attack that is, which allowed Dr. Gero to escape almost the entire main cast, and allowed Android 18 to stay hidden from Cell even though he was pretty much right above both her and 16.
Will it be the same in this game? Or have someone figured out that Androids emitting ki-signals might be a tad easier to track if they go on a rampage?

Androids still do not emit Ki-signals and can not be tracked by fighters trying to sense Ki. However, they do emit energy signals, which can be read by both the current generation of Scouters and the Energy Sensing of Androids. Both of these though require a close proximity to use.

[hider=BCTheEntity's Questions About Arcosians][quote=@BCTheEntity]
[@Thess]: Cool. So I take it yourself and [@Bartok] will be controlling Glacial and Glacier as relatively important characters in the tournament, then? Also, I had an idea for an Arcosian character that I may or may not use: the son of one of the Arcosian lords who, due to his position in life, decides he shouldn't have to go through the hoops of transformation that his lessers do, instead pulling a Cooler and managing to gain precise control over his power level so that he never has to transform down from his true form, in the process unlocking a super transformation of some sort for himself. Would you consider that a good idea in this case?

Incidentally, since we're on the topic of Arcosians, a sexually-reproducing race with only a tiny population is not great for genetic diversity, especially when they're not only divided into four separate sub-populations across the planet, but also between those of mixed and unmixed ethnicities within each sub-population, the latter group (as the relative proletariat in this situation) presumably at least somewhat larger than the former in all cases. I presume some degree of gene randomisation is present in the larval sacs to offset this risk, but having said that, I'm actually curious as to how large each clan is, given a total racial population of just 100 or so. How many Arcosians count as being part of each "Pure" blood group? How many have mixed blood within each mountain, and to what degree have they mixed? On a similar note, do different clans go by different naming schemes, e.g. fire-themed names within the Red Clan where Blue uses ice-themed names? What are their respective cultures like, if they are indeed significantly different from one another? And so on.

Well, the twins want to be important characters in the tournament, but how and what they will do remains to be seen. I have no problem with Arcosians staying in their True Form for long periods of time, Lord Shiver will do this, though he will be referring to it as his King Form in an effort to make his race think he has four transformations. It still is quite physically exhausting, enough that when Shiver finds himself in trusted company or is in his home, he transforms down to his Diplomatic Form. However, the ability to create new forms I am going to deny, as that is supposed to be part of the mutation that made Frieza's line so powerful. 

The genetic diversity of the race is not so much randomized during the larval period, as changing to different forms actually changes the DNA of each Arcosian and thus mating in different forms leads to more diversity. The one hundred population count is only counting the Purebloods, leaving roughly give or take a few, twenty-five for each mountain. The Mixed Bloods actually outnumber them entirely but are individually much weaker and considered second class citizens by the Purebloods. The cultures in the mountains do not really differ from each other, as the initial culture they had was simply to war between the clans and everything they did was focused on this. Once the other mountains were subjugated beneath the Blue clan, what few differences they may have had, such as different naming conventions were seemingly lost in time.
