I'm guessing it's Omega Shenron, the main hero and the main villain of GT
not longer takes into account the color?
not necessarily, remember jiren and videl?
I see the colors as just temporary placements now. I think adding a single GT goku to the roster to represent an entire series would not be right. Jiren and Videl "connect" with other characters already available. Shenron is kind of the "favorite" villain of GT too, and we do need a bad guy placed on the right side of the screen also. Just my thought
good as much sense as adding a GT character in Super - Z game

at this point the last character can be anyone
it could even be piccolo daimao

Plus this Kid Goku will apparently have the Power Pole.
I do remember that move in Infinite World. GT Goku even said a similar line about not forgiving the enemy lol.

See, this is the kind of reasoning that just holds the roster and quality of a DB game back.

This is not a game where canon is supposed to matter. This isn't Toriyama's game. And neither is this branded as a Dragon Ball Super game.

People who care about not including different parts of the franchise, especially the popular aspects, into the game are narrow-minded.

For the record. Budokai 3, known as Dragon Ball Z 3 in Japan, had DB kid Goku, Pan, SSJ4 characters, and Yi Xing Long. There's already been precedent set for this.

It was never written to be a Z- Super game only.

He looks practically 90% the same as Goku.
That's Goku with slightly different hair and a pair of earrings. Goku in a different outfit. Just like Gogeta is Goku with a vest.

Again opposed to anybody else that actually looks different and isn't related to Goku.
Broly barely looks like OG Broly outside of Full Power Super Saiyan and so far, it seems Super Broly is using his Rage Design that looks nothing like Legendary Super Saiyan.
It doesn't matter, it's still a second Broly when most other characters don't have a first anything. Considering the game is such a sausage fest in the first place it's surprising that they haven't included Kefla already.
No he doesn't. He looks more like Vegeta in the facial structured and even then, Toriyama's only have like six designs for faces, which is why some character look alike, like how Yamcha and Gohan look similar at times.

Gogeta also doesn't look like Goku outside of some facial features like Gohan.

It does matter since outside of his name, he looks and probably won't play anything like OG Broly. And honestly, most people don't care about what sex as character is. They just want to play as their favorite character.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

-this game and the budokai 3 are very different at least it has coherence because the story of the game in budokai 3 includes those characters

I do not complain about the inclusion of GT characters only that he loses sense this point they could have add goku gt, omega or pan instead of goku base, vegeta base or videl and this way it would not be as out of place as now.

The chronology in the story doesnt matter, it's a game only story. The previous characters don't label the game, and there are already non canon contradicting characters involved like the old Broly. Adding GT characters makes as much sense as having non canon Z movie characters.

I not have said that or if the canon is import in here, is a game but yeah .. the ambience of this game add characters or story which is clearly Super - Z without including the DB OG or GT.

if they wanted to evitat that they should have added before it to characters instead of repeating previous versions of characters.

He does, that you need to argue facial structure just proves my point, it's plotting hairs. He looks 90% like Goku and even if you say he looks more like Vegeta then the same problem still applies as there's 3 of him in the game too.
It does matter since outside of his name, he looks and probably won't play anything like OG Broly.
Again that's irrelevant as any character would play different regardless.
And honestly, most people don't care about what sex as character is. They just want to play as their favorite character.
And they have. Goku is in the game, multiple times, Vegeta is in the game, multiple times, Broly is in the game, soon to be multiple times, a Goku and Vegeta fusion is in the game soon to be multiple times.

Yet plenty of unique characters aren't in the game even one time.

Think about it, after you add Kefla, Janemba (because people wanna throw sword beams and have teleport parries) and Roshi OH and Dabura. How many more characters can you add thats gonna be 100% their own? Not Many, There's the One Star Dragon who's pretty cool on his own but then you have 3 & 4 star who are literally twin brothers... but then what after that?

Majin Veg.. Oh
Baby Ve... Oh
SS4 Ve... Oh
SS4 Goge.. Oh
SS4 Gok.. Oh
Ultra Ins.. Oh
Tul.. Oh

And thats already on top of what we have/know whats coming.

Super 17? Well then that'll make 3 Playable versions of Android 17 (well 2 and a half I guess)
Oh I know, Future Goh.. Oh two and half playable adult Gohans (including Saiya-Man) 3 and half counting Kid/Teen Gohan, thats too many Gohans.
I may be misreading, but are you saying that after Janemba, Roshi, Kefla and Dabura there aren't any other decent character choices other than Gokus and Vegetas?

Cause there are.
Anybody can made to be interesting with the right development team behind them. But my Point was that no matter how you slice it after they add "X" characters into the game, its still going to littered with Goku's and Vegeta's according to the logic of some folks.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

They could add Master Roshi, Mercenary Tao, Raditz, Zarbon, Doctor Gero, Mr. Satan Pikkon, Dabura, Bojack, Janemba, Whis, Cabba, Magetta, Kefla, Toppo, Dispo, Omega Shenron etc.

They could easily have had a Season 2, 3 and 4 comfortably before ever having to add a third and a fourth Goku into the game.

Same. Looks like a well-done mix between GT and Path to Power Goku. A good choice to bring diverse moveset, rather than just using one or the other.

Awesome. Now we just need his SS4 to be confirmed, and they'll be hitting 3 birds with one stone by making DB Kid Goku, GT Kid Goku, and SS4 Goku all one character.

I was actually expecting him to be in SS1 by default during fights, as most saiyans with that ability have been. It does seem curious that his SS1 form seems to be getting overlooked when he spent quite a lot of time fighting in it in GT.

So ArcSystemWorks went the "Composite Character" route and basically combined DB Goku, Path To Power Goku and GT Goku into one.

Smart thinking.

Exactly. Saying GT shouldn’t be in the game because it’s “muh canon only” is such an asinine excuse. Plenty of games in the past, explicitly using the Z title have had DB and GT characters.

I don't see any Path to Power in this outside the whole 'Path to Power had GT cloths'. It's basically what Xenoverse did. It's OG Kid Goku mixed GT Kid Goku.

So rooflemonger just made another video on this and mentioned that a source of his who predicted GT Goku has said Janemba is next. He did say take it with a grain of salt but that it could be true, so we'll see.

Since it's Path to Power x GT Goku i hope he will have that damn epic Kamehameha.
I still think it's the best Kamehameha ever in franchise.
