"Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

[Jexulus]

In the case of Cooler being DLC, I think they can add 5th form Cooler without sacrificing moveset potential. They've already given Kid Buu some of Super Buu's attacks (Human Extinction attack being one of them) despite Kid Buu never using them. 5th form Cooler is by far the most popular design for the character, so they'd be remiss to make it Meta Cooler. Anything non-robotic can be given to organic Cooler without much justification or fuss.

Data taken from Steamchart.com. This peak was reached yesterday, today Fighterz has an average of 33K simultaneous players on Steam, interested to see how the game will fare by 2019.

The story, the gameplay or both?

The story being told is interesting and I've enjoyed that (despite the inconsistencies between Super Warrior and Evil Warrior Arc's. I imagine that's deliberate and I'm sure I'll know soon enough), but story mode is boring af because it's a constant battle against the same clone NPC's. There's no variety, which is why I think the roster is too small for this kind of story mode. The repetition makes it boring to play.

The fighting engine is fun though, and the game is absolutely gorgeous to look at

I still can't believe Radditz isn't in the game. I think he's been in every single DBZ fighter over the last 18 years but Super Dragonball Z.

Justin Wong has started playing DB Fighterz.

Its really cool seeing him play it , the combos he do using his assists are really awesome.

He really could fit the story mode better than Nappa.

[Noah]

the game needs a music selection mode for the lobby, especially when the anime pack comes.

We're gonna get one of those?

If you got the Ultimate Edition then yes.

But these are like DB/Z anime BGM or just instrumental/vocal opening/ending songs?

You know, normally I would say "who the hell cares about Raditz", but seeing how great this game handled character interaction, it would be nice to having on the roster for that reason only.

[MKCSTEALTH]

So I'm only like 30 minutes in and I'm already in love. It's really mainly because of just the detail this game has

-Characters saying other characters names when using assists
-mid battle dialogue between characters
-stages having their own destructive finish foreground

It's the little things

[LightBing]

Have to mention a moderate disappointment with the lack of a RoSaT and Kami's Lookout stage. These are iconic Dragon Ball locations and should really be in the game. Maybe they'll add them later.

[Kataphrut]

Based on how good the character interaction stuff is in story mode, I hope they find a way to work DLC characters into the story mode so they can be a part of it too. It'd be cool to have scenes of Bardock interacting with Goku, Vegeta and especially Freeza.

Hell, maybe once all the DLC comes out they can add a fourth campaign called the "Everything but the Kitchen SInk" arc, which includes all 8 DLC characters, all the base characters and the ones that weren't included for boring continuity reasons like SSJ2 Gohan, Future Trunks, Goku Black and Hit. Just go Xenoverse levels of hog-wild.

There's quite a lot of iconic places missing. Roshi's Island, King Kai's planet, Time chamber, Kami's lookout,etc

Wow....when FighterZ, a video game, at least tries harder to be more consistent with power than the series itself lately XD. I never thought I'd see the day.

this are the songs... don't know if you'll be able to just use the in the background of a match or they'll add a music player when you're in the lobby. (they should add it)

Mystical Adventure! – the opening theme to the Dragon Ball TV series
I’ll Give You Romance – the ending theme to the Dragon Ball TV series
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA – the first opening theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
WE GOTTA POWER – the second opening theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
Come Out, Incredible ZENKAI Power! – the first ending theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
We Were Angels – the second ending theme to the Dragon Ball Z TV series
Bit by Bit, You’re Charming My Heart – the opening theme to the Dragon Ball GT TV series
Prologue & Subtitle – episode recap and title card music from Dragon Ball Z
A New Hero is Born – background music track from Dragon Ball Z
Solid State Scouter – the Bardock TV special insert song from Dragon Ball Z
The Fearsome Ginyu Special Force – background music track from Dragon Ball Z

And also treats Trunks/Goten and Yamcha as fighters who can actually do things. Or not have Buu fall asleep every 10 seconds.

It's kind of ironic the story mode also has better character interaction than Super. Goku actually asks Yamcha to train with him in one of their interactions because they all trained under Roshi. You'd never see that happen in Super.

Been playing, and like most fighting games for me, "medium" is about my upper limit. Going backwards for block just has never registered for me, for example.

Fighting games these days are pretty lax on stage numbers for some reason. Obviously there are outliers, but just about every one I've played this generation has disappointed me in quantity.

[dbzfan7]

Holy shit. Yamcha getting revenge on Nappa and the Saibaman....amazing.

[Sora Saiyan]

You don’t need the Ultimate edition, both the commentator voice pack and anime music pack are being made available for purchase separately. March 1st (Anime), and April 15th (Commentators).
Also, I’ve read that it is identical to the Anime music pack that was available for Xenoverse 2 in Japan.
The commentators pack will have a character from the game of your choice replacing the commentator. Well that’s what I’ve read Arcsys have done with their other games with a commentators pack.

SergioM3 has made a second video:

1) Saiyan Arc Vegeta is either a costume or a character.
2) Interesting tidbits of the base Goku model.
3) Trunks' Sword of Hope
4) Theories on "Z-Union." I think Z-Union could be the equivalent of clans in this game.

Is there a list of all the color swaps somewhere? I saw pink armor Nappa and now I'm wondering if I could get Rosé in a rosé dougi.
