8 DLC Characters for FighterZ

[KayDash]

I can answer you this too. We don't need a third one, they probably just decided to make them, because they can do with relative ease, and 6 new + 2 clones, are better then just 6 new.

That's so wrong though. The Season Pass costs £29 and thats for only 8 characters. That is very expensive especially seeing as you can buy the game itself off of Amazon for £44 and that includes 24 characters, all the stages, the whole story mode and other modes.

At that expensive a price there should be no excuse for them to be that cheap that they have to skimp out on 2 out of the 8 characters.

Already adressed the DLC price some post ago, but I have a better one now, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhWGQCzAtl8

My issue with Base Goku and Vegeta being DLC is the leak confirmed they were completed before the games release. It feels like they're just trying to milk more money out of people using characters that should have been in the base roster. I don't mind 3 Goku/Vegetas being in the game, but at least don't have the audacity to make the base forms DLC when they completed them beforehand.

That being said, I'm buying the crap out of all the DLC regardless. I love this game.

These are my picks:

1. Broly - The most popular non-canon character. Definitely getting in.

2. Bardock - Same as above, except he's canon. They can use his time breaker version.

3. Vegito - Too popular and cool not to be included.

4. Roshi - Due to his wide variety of abilities and the need for early DB representation.

5. Kefla (or Caulifla f/Kale) - Due to their popularity and the need for more females.

6. Janemba - The best and most unique movie villain. Must have.

7. Jiren - The final villain of DBS. Too hype not to included.

8. Omega Shenron - The Best GT villain, needed for GT representation.

One of the links suggest that Fu from Xenoverse 2 might be included. If that's the case then why not also include his parents, Mira and especially Towa (for more female combatants)? The adult version of the Supreme Kai of Time would also be a good addition.

If the DLC does end up including Base Goku and Base Vegeta, that would be pretty dissapointing.
But if this ends up not being the DLC, or there does end up being a second round with another 8. my top picks for FighterZ would have to be...

(assuming Broly, Bardock, Vegito, 17, Coola, Zamas, Base Goku and Base Vegeta all happen)

8. Jiren: Admittedly, I know very little about Jiren, aside from him being a major character in the Universe Survival Arc. (i've been following the english dub so I'm not up to this yet) but since he is a major character he is probably deserving of a spot

7. Bergamo with Lavender and Basil: Again, I don't know them too well, but from what little I do know, they're among the first characters to actually do something during the Tournament so they have some prominence, and having a trio of werewolves would definitely add some visual diversity to the cast

6. Bojack: Ok, now we get to characters I actually know, admittedly, out of the movie characters Bojack is kind of middle of the road, not as major as Broly, not as forgettable as Turles. but he is still a pretty cool character, and his recent addition to Xenoverse shows there is some popularity for him, and means he is also on people's minds.

5. Janemba: Probably the coolest and most memorable movie villain not in the game (assuming Broly and Bardock get in) he'd probably just be in his Purple "super" form. but that's really his more memorable/popular form anyway.

4. Kefla: And we're back to characters I don't know much of. but whilst I haven't seen this point in the series yet, I do know that Kefla has made an impact on the fandom. plus adding more females is a good thing. and having a female super saiyan fusion seems like the kind of thing they'd never pass up including in their game.

3. Dabura with Babidi: Dabura isn't really the biggest of names in Dragon Ball. but I feel like he'd be a good fit in terms of how he'd play in FighterZ especially if some of his specials and supers included receiving support from Babidi.

2. Kid Goku: MOAR GOKUUUUS part of me doesn't want Kid Goku in since there's already too many Gokus and Vegetas in the game. but having Goku from the start of Dragon Ball seems like it would be a popular idea. giving him access to his rock paper scissors fist and a dragon fist super as well as the power pole would make for a fun move set. so I feel like even though it's ANOTHER GOKU he'd still be a good fit.

1. Master Roshi: For some reason i just really really love this idea. Roshi is a mainstay of the dragon ball series. Goku's original Mentor and has a lot of potential for a moveset of his own. he'd make for good representation of early dragon ball, alongside Kid Goku, plus he's the only member of team universe 7 to not be in the game at all right now. (it'll be even worse if 17, base goku and base vegeta get in as DLC first. since then he'd be the only team member who isn't playable. Roshi really deserves to be in the game.

honorourable mentions: Jaco, Uub, Hercule, Super Buu, Raditz, Cabba, Future Mai, Supreme Kai, Majin Vegeta, GT Pan, Omega Shenron, Majuub, Caulifla and Kale


if it turns out the Current "leaked" DLC isn't real then my revised list would be
8. 17
7. Bojack
6. Dabura
5. Janemba
4. Kefla
3. Broly
2. Vegito
1. Roshi

At this point, I'd say anyone except Base Goku and Base Vegeta would be a good choice for dlc really

[ShadowBardock89]

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.

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.

So, if this article is correct:

Then, Bardock & Broly are the first two DLC characters.
But, I would take it with a grain of salt until Bandai Namco official says this is the case.

If it is the case....

I will put links to your quotes, then put links to their eventual trailers underneath them in my signature followed by a link to Masako X's

What's up with that reaction? I even went back to see if I was rude in any way during our exchange regarding this topic and nope. I guess I'll just ignore you from now on based on this.

Do you know why? Because you allowed your personal bias against the character to allow you to believe Bardock was not a marketable choice for ArcSys to use for DLC.
I tried to use recent examples of how Bandai Namco were invested into Bardock as a product to counter this argument and you "poo-pooed" me.
Your reaction flew in the face of the reality of Bardock's draw and that insulted me. Its fine if you do not like Bardock, but if you do not recognize that there is a bigger, paying majority that like the character that Bandai Namco as well ArcSys can cater to then you are just living in your confirmation bias. Bardock is a popular character, even if you do not like him yourself! If he wasn't, he probably only appear in the same amount of games as Dr. Wheelo. Please recognize this!

This is my best guess prediction list....

01. Broly - Because it's Broly, his power is maximum... Opinions aside.... he'll sell.
02. Bardock - Assets from Goku & Black can be borrowed.. easier development.
03. Vegito - It's Vegito, effortless kicks please.
04. Majin Vegeta - Teenage angst and badassery.
05. Janemba - Sword, dimensional rifts, game play.
06. Jiren - He's new and cool... basically the post launch Hit.
07. Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta - shock and awe of including GT characters... Red hair before it was cool.
08. Omega Shenron - Best villain from GT, could see it coming in a pack with SSJ4 Gogeta.

I'm 2 for 8 so far!
...and in order!

[kn83]

Considering all the talk about the lack of female fighters in the game (which was why 21 was created according to producer Tomoko Hiroki herself), I'd say Kefla (or at least Caulifla) is definitely getting in, possibly Towa as well if they try to connect the game to Xenoverse.

I doubt Majin Vegeta is getting in. There's already negative feedback about the possiblity of Base Goku and Vegeta getting in, which Arks Systems could be aware of.

But everyone else on your list seems like a good choice. I'd add Master Roshi instead of Majin Vegeta, and maybe Ranger 17 instead of SSJ4 Gogeta though.

Well, it was my first and initial prediction before that "leak" about the base forms was out, it's sorta lame to go back and change an original prediction as more information becomes available... But how sick would it be if i'm even half correct?

[ShadowBardock89]

Also interesting how all this corresponds with the leakileaks stuff:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Kappa/comments ... ious_ones/
Well, except the Zarbon/Raditz stuff.

Yeah... If there's a season 2 (which based on the sales of this game, it should stand to reason there will be), Raditz and Zarbon could still be added but I am expecting more Dragon Ball Super characters.

Based on the sales, and current popularity, it wouldn't be too far fetched to says that there will be even a Season 3.
(Unless if they release a "FighterZ 2" with a new storyline, instead of a Season 3.)

[Hellspawn28]

I can see us getting a second season pass. If we get a second season pass, my picks would be:

1. Jiren
2. Master Ultra Instinct Goku
3. Kefla
4. Toppo
5. SSj4 Gogeta
6. Super Yi Xing Long
7. Dabra
8. Tullece

I can almost see this list being the case, but replace Tullece with Janemba and that would be solid.
