Dragon Ball FighterZ

Just aesthetically. I think there are plenty of totally-not-Goku's in the game. Give me some monsters!
 
They need a hideous alt. color to represent Bio-Broly

Between Blazblue tag battle and DBFZ at EVO, all we need now is a Touhou fighter on stage to finally simulate the true SaltyBet experience

I'm still waiting for that sequel to Chaos Code. Seriously, if you can get past the character dialogue, it's a great fighting game!

And the crowd goes mild.
I can't speak for everyone but I think most of the poor reaction is because we knew they were going to be selling DLC packs months before the game was even released. Kind of hard to be excited for a character when you feel like you're getting cheated. This isn't even the usual ArkSys tax

Hardly. These 2 are actually not that interesting..
We have a bland, characterless berserker who might as well be The Hulk on his worst days (HULK SMASH, no personality, no REASON to Smash, can't be reasoned with)
And a somewhat interesting character who looks like Goku (Not a good sign), and has a nod to a movie that no one likes.
When we could've gotten Kale, who is a CANON BROLY who is far more interesting.
Yeah, no, it's not the DLC Leak, it's that we're one more saddled with Broly when a much more interesting option was present.

I honestly think we Arc wasn't able to use any characters introduced in the tournament of power because that story line isn't over yet.

And I want Kale and Cali to get their own separate character spots. I really don't understand why anyone would want only their fusion available.

I don't want to go down that road again but I got exactly what I wanted with the actual character of Broly instead of his less compelling counterpart. And honestly, this is the kind of game where I prefer ignoring canon and having him because he's the character with a longer history with the series and I would argue a greater hype factor to him. I don't see the appeal of Kale other than her being a rule 63 version of Broly and if Android 18 didn't already have the gimmick, I would say that they could do Caulifla + Kale assist calls as one character so that the people that do like her get her in the game as well.

And I have no opinion positive or negative for Bardock. If he looks interesting all the better for the overall game. I never watched that one movie so I don't have any hangups over him either. I think i have the right list of datamined DLC characters so it looks like they are leaning more towards Movie-only characters so not seeing Caulifla, Jiren or Kale is interesting.
 
I am interested in seeing who will be DLC but at the same time I am worried about how "safe" the choices are going to be. I am hoping more Super characters like Cali, Kale and Toppo gets added, but with this reveal...

As long as another version of Goku and Vegeta does not show up it should stay interesting.

Um...This is the most recent list I have found and it purports to be based on datamined avatars from the game.
  • Broly
  • Bardock
  • Zamasu (With Fused?)
  • Vegito (Blue?)
  • Base Goku
  • Base Vegeta
  • Cooler
  • Android 17 (Ranger)
We just got the first two confirmed, I don't know what to tell you.

 
I can tell you if THAT'S the best we get for DLC, I'm gonna wait until the Season Pass goes on sale, because those are some really pathetic choices.
I really don't think that's the case, though.
Avatars are avatars.
 
We have Krillin in his cop outfit as an avi.. hell, a Saibaman is one. Avatars doesn't seem like som'in to base som'in off of.
 
Here's a link to the guy who did the datamining
https://www.resetera.com/threads/dragon-ball-fighterz-datamined-dlc-characters-revealed.19232/
He makes a point that any playable character has more than one avatar, and he found more than one for all but Android 17 and Cooler for the characters he proposes will be the DLC characters.

Taking that along with some other assets he seems to have found to corroborate Base Vegeta, and the recent announcement of Broly and Bardock, and I think this list is fairly accurate if not outright correct. Again, the only two he seriously doubts are Android 17, and Cooler.
 
I can’t wait for Baseball Yamcha to be playable. He’s an avi too.

Janemba is the ultimate expression of 90s nostalgia when one could say LOOK AT THESE RAD .GIFs ON MY WEBLOG where everything is comic sans and animated flame decals.

And then mod Quake 3 Arena for BID FOR POWER.
 
What I've noticed forever is that I usually get matches if I run around the lobby a bunch, but far fewer/none if I don't. I don't even have to run the whole time but it has to be at least a few laps around the circle.

The game just feels clearly different to play from Skullgirls and I'm thinking "why should I play more? Because it's popular?" I get that feeling of "getting comboed, let's check the time" that I've heard people say about MvC, a lack of burst decisions or resets makes things easier but also less engaging. And there feels like less mixups during pressure, but also less options on defense; they're not necessarily as wonky as SFV, just kinda boring.

I don't know if I ever expected the game to have lots of layers, I was just hoping it would be good for beginners. The tutorial and extra modes are lackluster, the only largely non-standard mode is 3v3 (which still has precedent in multiple games, and with more cool stuff in MvC and SFxT) which barely works. I really hope for more post-launch party modes that are not DLC (Tekken bowling), but the game feels rushed for simultaneous three-platform release at the start of the year.
 
Namco released Broly and Bardock's intros, without sound
and i do mean
their intros


looks like they couldn't be bothered to not show that camera fail with Broly's intro on the space stage
 
After seeing Android 17's great characterization and MVP performance in the Tournament of Power, I honestly would love him in the game as his own character. He isn't just a fan favorite, he also has a unique power set compared to every goddamn energy blasting Saiyan in the game.

In Dragon Ball you either die a villain, or live long enough to see yourself become the hero.
 
Eh no more female representation?

I sleep.


Broly looks ugly to me, always has, always will.
Should've been his prettier and more idunno... relevant? counterpart. What a missed opportunity.

Bardock hopefully is interesting.
 
My face after seeing the videos.

I wasn't really expecting a trailer to just be the intros. Did they forget to add the gameplay part or something? (I mean no offense, I'm just confused.)
 
They straight up ask if we wanted to see their moves in the Bardock video
this is just a tease for the proper trailers
 
Ah, alright then. Still strange if you ask me.

I want Bulma to be added as a gadget character for the same reason I am in favor of Android 17. A great character first off, but more importantly could add a unique playstyle to the standard combat this game offers.

ITS FUCKING DRAGONBALL. WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING?

Women in Dragonball either live long enough to become one of two things: an unimportant side character, and what Plage Of Gripes calls, The Saiyan Brood Mare.

Now I know what you all are gonna say, and I respond with this.

I mean you're literally wrong but okay.

There are plenty of interesting and viable female reps for this game.

Also I really do not care that 'It's dragon ball" argument.
It does nothing but prove my point that they need more female reps even more lol.

Name one female character that wasn’t introduced in Super that is still plot important.
Chi-chi stopped fighting after Dragonball, the Frieza saga was the last time Bulma got involved, the last fight Videl got to be in was the one where she got her ass blasted by a muscleman, and Toriyama barely remembers who Launch even is. And then there’s the fact that for no reason, in Resurrection of F, Krillin flat out tells 18 not to go and fight for no good reason whatsoever. The fact that she was added in as a entrant for the tournament of power feels like a massive apology for that. So yeah, you can name one, 18. And she’s in the game already.

I’m just saying, this series isn’t the best example of strong female characters, whatsoever.

Synopses: Online patch coming "late February", what ever that means (It's almost past Feb XD), with a huge focus on stabilizing Online. There's a second one "late March", but they will do smaller ones if need be between the first and second major patches.
 
The fact that Goku's Japanese VA is voiced by a woman is a travesty. It makes him sound like he hasn't deepend his voice and not completed puberty. But who am I to tell? The Elrics had opposing voice genders in both versions.

I'm not done experimenting with the game yet, but I still feel really limited with every character I try.

I don't know about this one....

Same thing pretty much happened with Arc's Hokuto game (just Mamiya) and Capcom's Jojo fighter (only Mariah was shown in the original manga and they had Araki make up a design for Midler since she was almost entirely off screen.)

Makes me think that whenever Arc gets around to making anyone from the tournament of power, we're getting both Cali and Kale. And Kefla! Maybe Ribrianne too? That's four spots on the select screen.
