This is what I expect from looking at gameplay possibilites, popularity and relevance in Super:

1. Broly (lssj)
2. Janemba (final form)
3. Cooler (I don't know which version, but I see more possibilities with Metal Cooler)
4. Roshi
5. Vegito (they would probably use his ssj form, with ssb final kamehameha as a level 3)
6. Bardock or Raditz (can't decide, but my preference is Raditz if gameplay is a deciding factor)
7. Califla (with Kale)
8. Jiren

So, 3 movie characters, 3 original Z characters (well, except Bardock who from TV special, whatevs), 2 super characters.

In the Dragon Ball FighterZ thread I posted my wants here I'll post my predictions.
I expect thematic releases and focused releases.

DLC Characters 1 and 2 - Movie Pack
Broly and Janemba: huge upside for a fighting game, very popular and certain to appeal to most Dragon Ball fans.

DLC Characters 3 and 4 - ToP Pack
Muten Roshi and Kefla/Caulifla: Muten Roshi due to demand, potential for unique gameplay with his various techniques and for representing old school Dragon Ball; the Saiyan girls are probably the second most important characters from ToP and they fill the need for females(#21 is female specifically for diversity). I expect Kefla to be the choice but Caulifla with Kale is an strong option.

DLC Characters 5 and 6 - Boo Arc Pack
Dabra and Vegetto: Vegetto is easily one of the most requested characters and essential to keep casual players interested; Dabra is a Arc System type character, he's also moderately appealing to fans.

DLC Characters 7 and 8 - Pride Troopers Pack
Jiren and Toppo: Jiren is in due to his status as the arcs's antagonist; Toppo is fairly important in the ToP arc and he's a grappler something Dragon Ball has very little of.

Characters who won't be in:
Bardock - He's uninteresting by himself, contributes to Goku fatigue and has no connection to any of the new material. I'm very confident they'll stay clear from him. There's a chance the new Dragon Ball movie brings him back to relevance and he becomes an option in a later DLC.

GT Characters - They are old news and have absolutely no connection to the new material. Besides with a few exceptions, there's not many characters people would even want.

I predict another season pass with less DLC characters - 8 is a lot -, one or more characters from the new Dragon Ball movie and characters from Super's new arc.

My wishlist trying to be realistic (so no Videl and Pan-chan), but i guess they will be some boring DBS character only because they will bring money..

1. Cooler
2. Omega Shenron
3. Goku SSJ4
4. Baby Vegeta
5. Broly
6. Bardock
7. Janemba
8. Super Gogeta
"I will concede that your feelings are worthy of the mightiest of Saiyans. However, there is more to my power than just this. Before you die, I will show it to you. This is the difference in power, between the primitive Saiyans and the evolved Tsufruians." ~Baby Vegeta

1. Mercenary Tao. I can see his intro being his drops in on the pillar. He has a lot of cool attacks like Dodon Ray and could use his tongue like how he killed Blue

2. Master Roshi- plenty of awesome moves in DB. Mafuba, hypnosis, and the electric attack. He can go full power similar to SS3 and golden form.

3. Janemba- sick design, awesome abilities.

4. Broly- a staple in dbz games. I’d rather see him over Kale.

5. Teen Chichi- do something similar to what super DBZ did. Roster needs more girls too. I know this’ll never happen but I can hope.

6. Vegito- self explanatory. He can be in SSJ but turns Blue for an ultimate like full power Roshi

7. Jiren- dbs marketing

8. SSJ4 Gogeta- just to have some GT in there without adding another Goku

“Old news” doesn’t matter to Toei or Bandai. SSJ4 still makes a fuck ton of money. If ArcSys wants them in, they’ll be in.

Like I said it has no connection to new material. From a marketing perspective they don't matter, if you want to pull new audiences you put Super characters in because there's an on-going manga and anime to pull people in.

GT characters will only make it in if there's a big enough demand: with Super brimming with shiny new characters I don't see it happening.

There’s no canon so why does it matter if they’re connected to new material? I’m not saying to put in gt over super but still.

It has nothing to do with canon, it's purely business. FighterZ servers in part as advertisement of Dragon Ball and what's currently pumping out new material? Super; it's that simple.

I think Roshi has a very strong chance due to his role in the TOP. Had the TOP come out last year he likely would have been in the base roster.

1. Kid Goku
2. Muten Roshi
3. Tao Pai Pai
4. Piccolo Daimao
5. Bardock
6. Broly
7. Vegetto
8. Jaco

Pre-Z manga characters are more important, and have more moveset potential, than pretty much any of the Z Movie characters or GT characters.

Tournament of Power characters haven't finished showing what they can do.

I'm aware that Tao Pai Pai has been "de-confirmed", but I still hope for him. His absence in this game is a fucking crime.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Umm... have you seen how he has been marketed recently?

The guy continues to have merchandise made for him and if he was not in demand, he probably would not have got "Episode of Bardock" in the first place. In addition, Bardock was in Extreme Butoden and it kind of gives him an edge on his chances.

By new material I mean Super, which is the face of current Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball Heroes is for fans, in that game everyone and their mother has the SSJ transformations. Nappa getting SSJ3 doesn't mean he's being actually marketed, it's just the game cycling it's characters.
Episode of Bardock is more than 6 years old.

FighterZ is for everyone not made specifically for Dragon Ball fans. That's the key difference. You can't expect it to be like Extreme Butoden which has a more limited scope.

Honestly I give Raditz more chances to be in than Bardock at this point. The only thing that could change the situation is the new Dragon movie, there's a chance it might bring Bardock back into the spotlight.

Due to the graphics of this game being okay, I would like to see Janemba for obvious reasons. I'd love to see how awesome the details of his techniques, especially the Bunkai Teleport one, would turn out to be.
We help! ... Hmm. Always get Autobots out of messes they get into.
