Since we got the funny intro for Fused Zamasu with the pelvic combination.
I really want his victory outro to be him looking all Godly, then end up with his close up of him crying.
Please ArcSys, gimme the meme victory. Or at least make this a dramatic finish victory against Vegito. It's too funny and iconic to him to leave out.

Combat is craft. What matters most is not raw power, but the skill by which you hone it."

Black and Bardock don't really need any nerfs honestly. All 3 are really, REALLY good, but I don't think anything needs to be taken away from their current arsenal. I just want everyone to be viable, put buffs on E'RRYBODY!
Maybe, but the thing that Gohan gets called for most is his pressure, Black and Bardock both have a lot of that too. Black also has a lot of utility and from what I've seen has always seen a lot of usage, both in comp and casual play. He was the third most used character in the top 32 and top 16 of Final Round after Cell and Vegeta. And even though he has only been out for a little bit Bardock quickly became possibly top 5 and has also seen a lot of use. 2nd character to be seen twice in the ps4 top players bp list and 2nd most used character in the top 16 of the first major that allowed him (though that one also had a lot less Goku Black).
So what I thought made it a bit odd was that Kid Buu was on that list, and most likely for nerfs since he is usually considered very good. And most lists I've ever seen have Black and Kid Buu ranked about the same. So just seemed a bit odd to me, especially since the update list is like half the game.
But who knows, maybe they just asked GO1 since his list has Buu very high and doesn't have Black that high and didn't have Bardock listed yet. Or the changes might just not be that much balance wise.
I'm still a bit disappointed. Even if Janemba has portals (which he only used once in his transformed state to redirect a blast, I believe), we'll never get to see a move like this animated in a video game, it's looking like.
Maybe they didn't give Fused Zamasu that attack because they plan to release Janemba or Anilaza in the future.
Perhaps the only thing I miss about manga Fused Zamasu is that 'choke' attack he used on Goku. That was neat. I wonder if it will be in the game. Aside from that, I don't know, I can see why some would prefer manga Fused Zamasu since he looked bulkier and more brutal and savage, but personally I much prefer his anime incarnation.
I approve of Fused Zamasu's theme, which was apparently also mixed up with Broly since the same music played in his trailer, but he had a different theme in the game. Weirdly enough, even though it feels like they're going for the bombastic godly choir, it almost fits Broly better.
I'm very interested to see how Fused Zamasu goes over in the meta when he launches. Flight seems like a cool gimmick, but my worry is he's going to be another Beerus or Freeza, ie a promising character that winds up useless because of the Superdash/2H meta.

Dramatic finish with Vegito will probably be just an extended version of Vegito defusing when attempting the savage strike.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

In Z, the characters were so depended on Goku that they couldn't go an episode without mentioning him in some way even by hoping he will arrived, get better, training to get stronger, our last hope, being like him, ect. Goku was wanked to hell in Z, even when he wasn't in the room and everyone else was secondary to him. In fact, this was a major issue Goku had, which is why he didn't want to do anything in the Buu Saga.

God, I hope not. It'd be such an awkward victory for the player winning because it shows he won only because the fusion runs out when he's about to catch them hands. I know it happened in the anime too, but for the game ehhhhh.

Came back to FighterZ to play seriously after 2 months because of Monster Hunter World and Devil May Cry HD Collection taking my time, and damn its hard to get back into!
Not saying it's hard to get back into as in I don't like it, but getting back into the swing of things and reactions is almost like I'm starting over again. Gonna have to spend a lot of time in practice and Ring Matches to get back to how I was earlier before Zamasu comes out.

It seems that Grotesque Fused Zamasu will not be making an appearance. Which is absolutely fine, Halo Fused Zamasu looks way better anyway. Now I am definitely buying this game.
Also, two of Fused Zamasu' color variations are inspired by Zeno and the Grand Priest. Very, very cool!
Yes! But too bad Merged Zamasu can't turn into "Grotesque" in this game, I also would love a finishing move that works after his K.O that makes him turn into:

Power levels are not just big numbers:
Spoiler:
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

that might be a dramatic finish on trunks. Trunks kills him, he turns into his space form and nukes everything out of existence
I love that you can buy these bonus characters individually on steam so I can pick and choose. I'm still hoping they announce FighterZ for Switch at E3 this June. I've been holding out because I don't want to buy an expensive game twice and start the game from scratch twice. My laptop was never made for gaming and I just about managed XV 1 and 2 on there. I play games on my Switch multiple times a week and it's almost always in handheld mode. I've always preferred portable systems and don't have a PS4 or XBox One nor can I justify buying a system that big for one game.
All that said this is a beautiful game and if it gets confirmed to never come to Switch I'd eventually settle for buying it on Steam and try to clean out my laptop ahead of time.
It's a shame that his SSJ form wasn't utilized, but Vegetto Blue was just was entertaining.

So the rumors were true, this means we're really getting another Goku and another Vegeta, instead of new characters like Jiren, Toppo, Dyspo but also cool old characters like Janemba for example.
Disappointing...
