Nappa and Ginyu are this month's characters.

Source?

I was wondering whether they'd go into a Z route (Nappa, Ginyu, Dabra) or more of a Super route (Hit, Zamasu, Kale). If this news is true, it seems we have an answer. Of course, they could still add some Super characters anyway.

Ginyu summons the other members of the Ginyu force so that's cool.
Nappa can summon a Saibaman.

I never wanted them, and hoped they wouldn't make it in, but I always included them in my lists. They're prominent Dragons for their respective arcs, and they offer easy ways to diversify gameplay.

Even including them, and another version of Boo and Gohan, I still fit in Beerus, Hit and Black into a base roster of 24. This doesn't answer anything for me. As I've said before, a game that included the most popular Super characters would still be largely comprised of characters who were in Z.

[TrunksTrevelyan0064]

True, they can have a roster that encompasses both Z and Super. I just figured that the story mode would only go in one of those directions. Not sure how they'd incorporate both. I'm fine with it either way, though. Captain Ginyu has the potential to be a lot of fun, especially if the other squad members are incorporated into his moveset.

Ginyu and Nappa are both awesome picks. I'm glad to see the roster is going deeper into the earlier stories instead of just focusing on the biggest names. Gives me hope for Dabra (and by extension the Nappa/Ginyu/Dabra henchmen team).

Nappa (And Saibaimen) killed 4 main characters and god, plus he's the 3rd bulky character for the roster. Ginyu (Force) were a huge part of the Freeza Arc and managed to decimate the Dragon Team. I've already seen social media light with "Wasted space" but they're an important part of Dragon Ball's story.

They put No.17 and no Gohan? Feels bad.

But this game isn't a retelling of that story and there is a very limited roster.

Jeez, what horrendous promo art the second one, reeks of that shitty promo artist. What is that Piccolo seriously...

[LightBing]

I'm super happy we got these characters specially Nappa!

They even went with Ginyu summoning the members of his team like it was predicted a bunch of times in this thread and Nappa summoning a Saibaiman, like I suggested before.

These developers seem to really understand the balance between important characters and diversity. With two blue exceptions I feel they are really in-tuned with what's best for the game, not falling in the easy trap of shoving what's new.

I really need people to justify this wasted space complaint. It's ridiculous to me how anyone can complain about "space" when nobody knows how much "space" we will have.

And who would people replace them with? Vegetto? Bardock? SSJ4 Goku and SSJ4 Vegeta? Or maybe it's Super material? The current arc shouldn't make it into the game for logical reasons so you just have Hit, Goku Black(Zamasu) and Beerus. I can agree with the later; they didn't shove the Blue Saiyans down our throats for this little Super material.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

I reeeeally hope that second scan isn't the cover art for the game.

[TrunksTrevelyan0064]

Ahh, seeing that official character artwork never fails to get me excited. It'd probably get me hyped even if it was a character like Bacterian or Panput.

The main reason I'm looking forward to this game is its presentation. It just looks so. damn. good.

[EXBadguy]

I just hope Nappa is a average-speed rushdown character, cuz I there's this one character that I hope will be in as the slow-but-powerful character. And y'all know who it is!

[Draconic]

Ginyu would be pretty boring, but him being able to summon the whole Ginyu Force is awesome. Really lookind forward to him.

Nappa on the other hand... Bleh...

[Kataphrut]

While I expected Ginyu would make it (and I'm so glad they're including Body Swap and Ginyu Force assists), Nappa was one I was less sure about but secretly hoping for. Having him summon Saibamen is a nice touch.

I'm surprised they're taking so long to announce adult Gohan. I mean come on, we all know he's getting in. The fact Teen Gohan has (Y) in the URL code, similar to how Goku and Vegeta had (SS), the fact that Kyle Hebert is doing promotion.

[Ranmaru Rei]

Nappa and Ginyu are this month's characters... really feels like wasted space.

Yeah, same feeling. Gameplay looks interesting though, but because of power scaling in DB, their inclusion looks ridiculous for me. Also, I'm not a fan of their personalties. On other hand, they are better, than Botamo and Mageta, IMHO.

It feels more and more obvious that SSB wasn't their decision.

[Lord Beerus]

I wonder how far into development Nappa and Ginyu are considering that Yamcha and Tien are still being basically in their alpha stages, and they were revealed roughly one month ago.

[KayDash]

I predicted both of them, and ArcSys implemented Ginyuu's gameplay the same way I (and some others too) hoped for, with the full Ginyuu Force assist.
I'm so happy right now, they are finally making the exact DBZ game I always wanted to play!
