You know how before this character was revealed, there was a meme going around of "oh, UI Goku would just auto-dodge everything"? Well...
Judging by those pictures, it's possible that he'll auto-dodge blasts (no matter what size) as long as you don't touch anything.
It would be an advantage, but not something outrageous, since it would probably be reserved for blasts and not direct hits, and as long as he'd be trying to do anything, the auto-dodge wouldn't work, and few players would have the self-control to suddenly stop all reflexes of moving around, blocking or attacking to just let the body do the work on its own (which IS what Ultra Instinct is about, ironically).

It would be something unique that those players who have learned to react instantly to almost anything, handling their controllers in awesome ways in split seconds, would now have to learn to refrain from their habits and suddenly let their (virtual) body act on its own when the situation calls for it (beams), true to what Ultra Instinct is. Having to suddenly stop being in the frenzy of the fight and let go, give in to the absolute calm, not mind your intense emotions from the fight and just stop handling your controler, if only for a sec. That would be a new kind of reflex to acquire for players, and not an easy one!

It's also possible - or even likely - that such an ability would cost Ki, which is a valuable resource players might not want to spend auto-dodging things they can dodge/block/prevent on their own without Ki consumption, using their own skills.

Wait and see, but even if it has nothing to do with all that, he still seems to bring something pretty unique compared to the current roster.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

Walking...ignores ki blasts?

:eh:
:|
:problem:

This game finds new ways to piss me off. Why are all the Saiyan DLC so much utterly better than everyone and everything?

Gogeta has been placed in the bottom 3 characters consistently across various tiers lists from pros.

Having some fancy gimmicks does not make a character good or stronger than others.

You're right. You also need a strong player who knows what they're doing and is willing to buy the DLC with those fancy gimmicks so they can have an edge against everyone else.

You can run a strong team in this game without DLC. Kid Buu, Trunks, both Gohans, Cell, Yamcha, Gotenks, all very strong characters. And the DLCs have fielded plenty of misses too- 17, Jiren, Videl, and yes, Gogeta. Base Goku is good now, but he was also pretty mediocre when he launched.

I was having a laugh about the walking through ki blasts UI Goku does, because I don't think it's that big of a deal. It doesn't beat anything superdash doesn't, it has a limit of how many he can avoid (the pro stream showed Freeza's were able to hit him) and let's be honest, very few people are going to be slowly walking in this game. People bunnyhop like they're in a 90s FPS in FighterZ.

He looks like a good character, but we'll probably have a clearer idea in the next few days. If he does turn out to be OP, the ki blast thing will probably not be a major contributor to that.

- Playable C-21. Unknown price
- The two additional story arcs that usually unlock as you progress through the main story. Unkown price
- The complete cutscene gallery for all arcs (sold as one complete pack). 20,000,000 / 20,000

Hope you've got a lot of money if you're interested in those, because they don't kid around with the prices!
Oh, and unfortunately, you don't get a preview of the soundtrack or sticker you can buy, so it's pretty much a "blind buy" or "look it up on your own" thing.

Black's win quote to UI Goku: "You have given us gods a bad name, and for that you will suffer, Goku."

Encountered him in Arcade Mode. He was teamed with Jiren and Ginyu.

Looks like the 3rd character might've been revealed.

Played a little with UI Goku tonight, was fun in the novelty, but there are characters that I enjoy more overall... but!

He is so masterfully done visually, I love his aura... damn this game is like playing the anime itself. It is like the best animated and drawn episodes put together and Masako Nozawa is at her best again, voicing UI Goku as calm and cocky/confident. With the anime soundtrack, I am not crying over single dollar spent as this game shoots out of the park.
And EoZ color scheme is real love letter to me as I am huge fan of this Goku look.

I hope for Roshi, he is my favorite wish since the first DLC pack and I hope that he will be the Faust of Dragon Ball... kamehameha is staple, but give him Mafuba and Bangkok Bikurri Show, some funny lines and it is perfect :)

These 2 where on my most likely list for this season, Omega fills the Villain and GT love Roster while Roshi fills the original Dragon Ball Love Roster. :thumbup:

I am still hoping and have a good feeling Ribrianne will be the 3rd character, does not matter if she is next or last. :angel:

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

YES! Roshi is coming in! I will definitely try to get him in a spot of my main team, as an alternative option.


Though, my apologies. I am a bit out of the loop, how is Omega Shenron confirmed?
Pretty much a guy who has been really late on catching up with Dragonball and Fighterz.

I'm really not an expert on the matter, but I like to think.

There was audio data datamined, where Gogeta talks about his stiff shoulder or something that he said to Omega in GT.


It seems Roshi leak was a fake: https://twitter.com/DbsHype/status/1262927149608177671
