"Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

Did people actually didn't like it XENOVERSE 2? I saw a bunch praising as one of the best DBZ games ever in the last year

What forum were you on? I've not seen that type of praise often. Though to be fair Xenoverse 1 & 2 sales do speak highly of them

A lot of people seem to dislike Xenoverse 2 because they don't want to learn the mechanics and/or the game doesn't explain them. There are all sorts of cancels, all sorts of evasives, ways to dodge without teleporting and so forth but people can't do it write away and think they arent part of the game. That is my experience anyway.

We shouldn't be comparing this to the Xenoverse series at all though. Its an entirely different game. I know I will enjoy both...for those who cant get into Xenoverse 2 I hope they have better luck here.

Great News, I have been waiting for this since Super DBZ. Hope it turns out good. Big roster isn't important to me 15-20 Characters and i'd be happy, as long as they all play in different styles.

Here's a quick wallpaper i made for all individual Dragon Ball Playstation Games.

Gotta say this was unexpected. First they bring back Dimps to make a non-Dimps style game with Xenoverse 1 and 2, and now they do give us a more traditional fighter only it isn't Dimps.

While I haven't played any Guilty Gear game I do own the first Blaz Blue game which is pretty damn enjoyable, and also manages to have a really in-depth story on top of being a great fighter.

I actually think this could sell really well, especially if the game takes off competitively. It's already gathered the attention of the Fighting Game Community.

Maximillian Dood, aka owner of the biggest fighting game channel on Youtube has already expressed excitement about it:

And its being covered on Fighter Generation, which is probably the single greatest fighting game coverage site on the internet.

I can definitely see this game breaking into a whole new audience. Two of my favourite things happen to be competitive fighting games and Dragonball, and the possibility of the 2 coming together is very exciting.

That Dark Age of DB games between 2009 and 2015 was degenerate trash.

I think RB1 was a decent start for Spike but they really went downhill with the next 2. I think it would've been better if they got Dimps back for a Burst limit 2 in 2010 and gave spike 2 years to work on RB2.

I'm happy that everyone's happy. I'm also happy that we're getting a quality developer to do this. That Dark Age of DB games between 2009 and 2015 was degenerate trash. And it's interesting that it was a period crested on both sides by non-collection Dimps games— Burst Limit and Xenoverse. Spike utterly lost the plot after Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and I've never even heard of Artdink before or since.

Raging Blast 1/2 were pretty good. Otherwise I agree.

Do you guys think this game could cater to the fighting game crowd without isolating casuals.

Yes, because all casuals want is a decent story mode.

Do you guys think this game could cater to the fighting game crowd without isolating casuals.

Their console releases usually include meaty single player modes with tons of extra stuff to unlock like artworks and videos. Also, not only Persona 4 Arena used the most basic motions and gave you an auto-combo, Blazblue and Guilty Gear Xrd include a simplified optional control system for people that just want to press buttons and see cool stuff happen.

That is encouraging. I guess it depends how much time they really put into it. Hopefully they dont just slap the DB name on it and expect it to sell. However from what I'm hearing I dont think that will be the case.

How much do you guys think will be revealed tomorrow at E3?

[Lord Beerus]

How much do you guys think will be revealed tomorrow at E3?

I expect we're going to get is a cutscene rendered teaser trailer and a date for the private/open beta. I think they'll save the gameplay reveal and all the other bits, such as character roster, the day it will be released in Japan, and the season pass details, for the TGS later in September this year. That's when they will to spill the beans on everything regarding the game.

Its easy as far as I see it. Casuals want the DB immersion (Budokai 3's atmosphere and design) and competitive fighters just want gameplay. All it needs to appeal to casuals is just a serviceable enough storymode, and a few single player modes that give them a variety of objectives,and a conquest mode (like Soul Calibur 2 & 3 had) or an interactive storymode like Budokai 3, maybe an item system to collect like capsules and character customization stuff like costumes and additives, and you're done.

Hopefully the game will also make the controls easy to understand, but without taking away technicality to them. Its very rare for any fighting game to meet that compromise, but I think its in its best interest to make it difficult and groom casuals into competitive players instead of dumbing the game down for a less invested audience, as more recent fighting games are starting to painfully do.

Seems reasonable. But I hope they give us a bit more, maybe announcing some of the game modes and give a pick-a-boo of some characters. I expect Beerus to be the only Super character in.

Wow, really? I'd expect them to put in at least a few more of the Super people in there.

[ArchedThunder]

I think Beerus, God Goku, Golden Freeza, Blue Goku and Blue Vegeta are pretty likely to be in.
Beyond that I think we might get Hit and maybe Goku Black.

Well, I assume the God forms will be in as different skins or in-game transformations and not new characters. Zamasu/Goku Black are a bit to recent, Whis didn't fight enough to be a character. Hit is a maybe, the other U6 people are not important enough.
Tagoma and Shisami...

I'm taking into a account the rumours of the limited roster of twenty something characters.
With such a number there are very few spots open.

These should be given:
Goku, Vegeta, Adult/Teen Gohan, Piccolo, Freeza, Gohan, Cell, Boo, One of the twin Androids, Kuririn and Future Trunks that's 11.

These are extremely likely:
Kid Gohan, Mr. Boo, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Beerus, Ginyu, Dr.Gero/#19, Raditz, Nappa and Goten/Trunks/Gotenks and that makes 21 in total.

That doesn't leave a lot of room and I might have missed a couple of relevant characters. Of course Super characters might appear as bosses in some type of arcade or story mode.

[dariend777]

Well...I'm a COMPLETE NOOB when it comes to fighting games so I really hope this game has a low entry barrier so a beginner like myself can get into it and learn. I'm looking to get Guilty Gear xrd rev (since it's the same developers) before this game releases to try to learn the combat system and get at least decent at it. Hopefully the combat in FighterZ will be similar enough

[LightBing]

Just saw the trailer in the Microsoft part of E3, the game looks nice and quite fast.

[Kanassa]

Microsoft conference just showed the trailer... Looks very 'meh' to me. Especially the backgrounds, something just seems... Off. And no indication of GT or Super characters.

[nato25]

Xbox conference just showed trailer! Guys its beatiful! Looks like marvel vs capcom 3 cross with one of thosr mugen games it looks amazing!

Ssj3 goku and golden frieza confirmed
