Why would they reveal this saiyan arc characters after revealing 6 interesting characters thus far? Raditz should've been announced with Nappa/Ginyu back in October.ShadowBardock89 wrote:I agree with your choices for characters (I even share your ideas with Metal Cooler), but I disagree with your dismissals of Bardock, Raditz, even Base Goku and Base Vegeta.TheDBZmaster100 wrote:Interesting movie characters they can choose from to include as part of the 8 dlc characters.
Meta Cooler - Give him Final form coolers/4th form cooler Normals/Specials plus his Big Gete star wires / Clones
Think of Ultron and Sentinel from the Marvel vs Capcom games
Janemba = Most unique DB character I've seen
Broly
Perhaps Turles with Sin's food mechanic from Guilty gear, in this case Turles and his tree of might buff
I don't see any other interesting movie character with a neat moveset/playstyle.
You guys should be thinking of playstyles and unique character mechanics and specials with these DLC characters, DBFZ characters are for the most part homogenized with the abundant of universal mechanics they possess than other characters from the usual Arc system titles (Blazblue, Guilty gear and Persona).
Beerus, Nappa (setup character), Mystic Gohan (install), Captain Ginyu (Summon type) and Hit (Cancels/Counter based) character change the mold in terms of character archetype. Surely the DLC characters they choose be characters that are unique and not bland such as Raditz, Bardock, Base form Goku, Base form Vegeta, etc.. This is anti hype and why would I spend cash on these characters?
Bardock was in Extreme Butoden and so Arcs could use that Bardock as a basis and build his playstyle. Bardock is a bit of a brawler and many argue that he does not have a moveset, I disagree. Bardock could be the Guile of this roster. Plus, who would not want to do this to an opponent?
Raditz, again, was in Extreme Butoden and has potential with the use of a mechanic that utilizes his scouter (none of the Freeza Force affiliated character have one!). Zenkai Battle incorporated the scouter into his moveset and I do not see a reason why Arcs would not use it, either. I outlined a potential use for it in a previous post and gave potential moves for him here:

Base Goku has potential with the Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb in his arsenal as the other versions of him do not have these moves.
Base Vegeta is a little more as it would depend which Vegeta would be represented. If it is Saiyan/Namek Sagas Vegeta, there might be an argument to include him.
Nappa was chosen solely because he brings about the Minion type archetype with his Saibamen ala Jack. O from Guilty Gear. Captain Ginyu is more similar with May from Guilty gear in terms of being a summon character and Captain Commando from MvC2.
Raditz could function like Frank west with his camera, here Raditz can lvl up with his scouter, it would be interesting but at the end of the day it is Raditz, it is silly to sell him as DLC. i would have preferred had Base form Goku had Kaioken techniques as one character and the 2nd Goku being his SSJ Form with Instant transmission, SSGSS being an install such as Golden Frieza in this game.
