Demigra is one of the SECs.
Vegeta will attain the "Shenron Mode" as well, so... Dragon Final Flash? Maybe?

God Mission 8 commercial. So good to see Minoshia, he wasn't forgotten this time. I hope he's a playable character as well.

Whether they're SECs or not (the promo/ad stuff on the sides isn't always used for SECs), the slot atop Demon God Demigra looks to be Goten: Xeno with blond hair. Can't tell if it's SS or SS3 though. If I had to guess based on the tiny, low-quality-upscaled-to-1080 picture on my oversized monitor though, I'd say SS. We'll see though.

Ssjg Gokû using Beerus' giant-ball-of-fire attack is so cool! :mrgreen:
Even though he's not gonna show up in Super again, I really like that he at least gets new techniques in Heroes.

It's a new CAA called "God Meteor", so presumably not Beerus' technique being used during it.

Sorry for the late, here's Beerus' technique. It's different from God Meteor.

A pity that it's rather blandly named "Destruction Ball" (Hakaidama).

The name's fine. It's better than "Beerus Ball" as Toriyama suggested...

Isn't it supposed to be a pun? (Beerus Dama/Beerus-sama).

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

It's a piss poor pun if that's the case.

I don't know if that would work as a pun in Japanese or not. Regardless, it still wouldn't make it a better name. Next up, Goku Blast! Vegeta Bullet! Cell Wave! Boo Barrage!

Well it was a joke after all, wasn't it?

Not Shenron... SUPER SHENRON is the one that increase Vegeta's stats. I didn't expect that! :o

And it confirms Minoshia is a playable character.

And yet, he still fires a regular Shenlong Ryuken-esque blast. Disappointment.

Nice to see the Red-Eyes Yellow Dragon though. He looks better here than he did in the anime. Lots of poor artistic shortcuts that episode once he was summoned.

Admittedly, I'm more interested in the SS3 character. It looks like Goku, but also seems to have scars. I can't think of anyone with THOSE scars though. So maybe it's just one of the battle damaged costumes he has? But I don't remember paying close enough attention to those outfits to know if just the clothes are battle damaged, or if the characters have scuffs on them too...

Nothing super exciting. Still no Assault Form Frost, no base Cabba, no SSGSS Kaio-ken Goku, no SS Goten: Xeno, etc. No Tapion or summon card for either of the Hirudegarn forms either.

Supposedly, that's Goku from movie 13. You can see him during the How to Play.

Base Cabba's been playable for a while now, since the whole Happy Meal promotion happened.

And yeah, that's Movie 13 SSJ3 Goku with the Dragon Fist.

So as I can see, the new characters/forms/variations are:
  • Cabba (Base, SSJ)
  • Hit
  • Vados
  • Shenron Mode SSJB Vegeta
  • Movie 13 SSJ3 Goku
  • Minoshia
  • Hoi (Both Wizard and Ninja outfits)
  • Burning God Meteor SSJG Goku
  • Ruthless God Meteor SSJ Vegeta
  • Prison Flame God Meteor SSJB Vegeta
  • Crimson God Meteor Angered Beerus
  • Freezing God Meteor Whis
  • Frigid God Meteor Champa
  • Ruthless God Meteor Vados
  • Frigid God Meteor Skot
  • Burning God Meteor Darkness Towa
  • SEC Cards (One of them likely being Demon God Demigra)
Hirudegarn's still not playable, but that's mostly because there's no base-form giant characters with cards. They're either summons or transformed giants.

Also, it looks like the Time Breakers and Demigra's lackeys also got new cards.

Yeah. I realized that once the updates were released.

I'm not counting promotional cards towards the incompetence of the main sets.

Yeah, the main set is becoming a disappointment lately. Always the same cards with the same transformations... I do hope the other SEC surprises me (even Demigra, if his transformation comes along, which I'm not expecting).

The fact that the new Frost card has better stats than Hit is hilarious. Hopefully next set has a Hit card that matches the Super Saiyan Blues.

Does it really matter? I mean, there are cards of character like Chiaotzu on par with Super Saiyans. The stats are not entirely representative of the power displayed in the series material.
