It makes me kind of sad that Super characters being included is what makes you go buy it. While I can sympathize with wanting to play with your favorite character, it completely misses the point of the game and that being said even if this was a Super exclusive roster it still wouldn't stop me from giving the developers my money. It's something tragic that has really happened to this fanbase in recent years. We finally get a well developed fighting game by people who are obviously fans of the series and a SOLID history of putting out A+ titles after this franchise has endured a looooong line of mediocre titles and the only thing some people care about is "but wheres my favorite Super character???" We have literally been waiting almost 3 decades for this game to come out!

I've got over 20 games where I've already played as all these characters. I haven't played any game that has Goku Black in it.

Well there's three more characters I'll never play. 5 out of 23 isn't bad.

They look amazing! For all the people asking for Hakai, it seems Beerus has it but it only works to kill off Zamasu. That should make people think twice when using Goku Black, who also looks extremely fun. Hit I'm very curious about, it seems a character to reward huge combos.

They are just theorizing it, and it's something that would go directly against ballancing, so I doubt it works only against Zamasu.

EDIT: Never mind, reading it throught again, you are probably right. He will likely use the Hakai instead of the headshot against Black. So it's more like an alternate animation like with Krilin/Gotenks and not an all different mechanic.

I would love meteo attacks that DBZ fighting games are known for but using the one hit kill mechanic that the Guilty Gear series executes very well.

So now that the roster is probably complete, what do you think the 8 DLC characters will be?

1. Ultra Instinct Goku
2. Master Roshi
3. Caulifa (SSJ2)
4. Kale or Kafla (but not both)
5. Jiren
6. Broly
7. Bardock
8. Coola

Only 8 characters isn't a lot, and now they have to focus on both Super and movie characters so it's a tight fit.

:lolno:
To be fair, there weren't any super specific characters till now, and the Z in the title was a big indicator towards that point.

Least these additions are welcome ones and the poster boys for everything good about super so far (though a little sad its black and not zamasu)


so does this correlate with the leak claiming Raditz for DLC?

Fighting game seasons usually consist of 6 characters.
8 is obviously more then that, and absolutely a nice number.

Damn, I even forgot about Vegetto. It's way too bad there aren't more characters in the base roster. So many important Dragonball characters are missing, and this is not even including Super or movie characters.

I realize this isn't Xenoverse or the old Budokai games, but it would have been nice to have a 25 character base roster.

Pretty sure he's in Xenoverse 2, why don't you also buy that?

The DLC is overpriced for what it is and I know it's all going to be included in Xenoverse 3 for free when it comes out so I ain't about to waste the extra money.

It's why I didn't buy the DLC for the first Xenoverse game. You had 3 character packs which cost £24 in total but just a year and half later they came out with the sequel and they were all in it for free anyway.
