Oh my GOD! He looks so good!

His intro his awesome, his moves are flashy but also cocky, the little touch showing Vegeta/Goku during the Final Kamehameha, he looks so good.

Now I don't know who to have on my team since he's definitely gonna be my point man.

[Zamasu55]

So the rumors were true

They were not really rumors. Their names are in the game's files, listed under the other playable characters, which was datamined at release day.

Even worse.

I'm fine with Norm. Goku/Vegeta's inclusion, but I get it why you are disappointed. If that helps, this game will go strong for years to come, and I'd bet my money on that we will see Jiren in 2019.

Vegetto trailer: https://youtu.be/ZcLWyQNV_z0

Wow, that was unexpected! Vegetto Blue looks cool, though now it feels weird that a player can compose his team with SSJB Goku, Vegeta and Vegetto. It should have a way to combine them both to be one character or whatever. Now only 4 DLC characters left.

[FortuneSSJ]

SSB Vegetto intro is by far the best of the entire game!!!
ASW keeps breaking their limits. That detail where we can see Goku/Vegeta during the Final Kamehameha is just brilliant.

Well if the datamine is indeed correct, the fun is over.

Another Goku and Vegeta is just wrong. No matter how many dramatic intros/finishers they can do with them. The fighting game fans that are playing this game without much knowledge about Dragon Ball, may be thinking this franchise has no more characters to offer which couldn't be further from the truth.

Coola is also stupid. He was nothing new to offer. From DBZ, Dabra or Janemba would be much better choices than him.

DBS C17 is okay. They have more than enough material to make him different from C18. I would still pick Caulifla/Kale/Kefla or Jiren over him, because he already appears as assist for C18.

I kind of understand why they went with Cooler, though. He is the second most recognizable and popular DBZ movie villain behind Broly and
a legacy character from another Dragon Ball fighting game series made by ASW, DBZ Supersonic Warriors.
We have no idea what kind of moveset he'll have, but since he will most likely be in his Final Form,
I expect he would be a melee-based, ground and pound, rush type (just going by how he fought in movie 5).
To be honest, I would have preferred Metal Cooler as that version has the potential of being a composite character that incorporated moves from both movies (including Instant Transmission).

Now only 4 DLC characters left.

I think some PC hack showed the 4 we've got now alongside #17, Cooler, Base Goku & Base Vegeta.

The first two are welcome, but more Goku and Vegeta? That's makes six of them! This starting to feel like Tenkaichi roster.

[DBZAOTA482]

Tfw you realize this is the first time...



...Vegtio was ever playable in a DBZ game made by ArcSystem Works!

[Kataphrut]

Man, he looks cool. I already like him more than Bardock; if you're going to make another jack-of-all-trades high utility Saiyan character, the least you can do is make him incredibly flashy. That level 3 montage

So yeah, I'm way more excited for him and Zamasu than I was for Bardock and Broly. Still feel like it's all downhill from here with this DLC lineup though. 17's alright, but it will take a lot to make me give a shit about Cooler and Base Goku/Vegeta.

[Chuquita]

I overestimated Caulifla, Kale, and Kefla's popularity. I was sure at least one of them would make the DLC. Maybe somewhere further down the road?

Well, again at least these characters are all pick and choose who you want to buy. I could see buying #17 and Base Goku. I'd probably get them, Vegetto, and Merged Zamasu.

[Kataphrut]

I think it's less a popularity issue and more a case of these characters taking a long time to make and they were probably planned out months ahead of time. This first season pass of 8 characters was announced mid-to-late last year, they probably weren't considering anything from the ToP at that stage. With the exception of 17, all of the season 1 characters could have been in development alongside the base game characters. Of course that doesn't excuse them for making some uninspired choices when there are plenty of unique established characters to choose from (WHERE ARE THE OG DRAGON BALL CHARACTERS) but it does explain why we probably won't get Caulifla or Kale for a while.

I expect them to lean hard into ToP for either season 2 or FighterZ 2. Jiren and the Saiyan girls will be massive draws, mark my words.

Sounds good. Jiren doesn't interest me, but I'd buy dlc for Caulifla or Kefla.

If the Saiyan girls do get in, I could see them being a duo character like #18 and #17 with Caulifla being the main fighter Kale is there for support, only Kale is always there.

They could have 3 supers:

Level 1: Kale's Berserker Rage. Probably a command grab where she does that move from the anime that was like a homage to the Avengers.

Level 3: Controlled SSJ Berserker Kale and Caulifla Tag Team Attack, like in the anime.

Level 3: Kale and Caulifla fuse into Kefla. They then proceed to do the attack they aimed at UI Goku before he Kamehameha'd her.


What could Kale do as Support though? Hopefully the manga does more with her character than in the anime. We didn't see much unique attacks from Kale and Caulifla besides the new moves Kefla showed off.

They have Kale shooting a stray ki blast that can be done while Caulifla is fighting for the special attack, pinning down the opponent, tossing Caulifla at the opponent like an anchor, and Christmas Beam. Caulifla and Kale compliment each other a lot more as a duo than individually.

On their own Caulifla has the dive kick to stun, Crush Cannon (multiple stray red ki blasts), and that volcano move while Kale has Berserker Rage for Lvl.3 install. All Kefla has is surrounding herself with energy spheres which Beerus can already do and more.

Pretty much. I read the moveset you did for them, it was good stuff. I'd actually prefer having them as a duo and Kefla being a seperate character. Having her as a transformation would limit what you can do with her, while just having her and skipping C&K ignores a lot of good co-op move potential.

Who knows if this'll happen or not but based on XV2 getting more characters than what was planned gives me hope we'll get more here as well.

The first two are welcome, but more Goku and Vegeta? That's makes six of them! This starting to feel like Tenkaichi roster.

That'd be somewhat acceptable if we had more characters in the game or season pass but we don't so they bring the "new" characters down to 6. Hopefully this second season pass is true as that'll somewhat make up for it.

[Nevaeh]

Now only 4 DLC characters left.

I think some PC hack showed the 4 we've got now alongside #17, Cooler, Base Goku & Base Vegeta.

Base Goku and Vegeta

17 being his own character while 18 is stuck with him as part of her moveset is also shitty
