We have been working hard for the release, so please wait for further details.

We hope for your continued support of DRAGON BALL FighterZ.

If so the last character should be Hercule

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.

Probably tie ins with Superhero. Final Gohan, Orange Piccolo, and Gamma 1 (With Gamma 2 being an assist character) seem like likely choices.

If they could only add one character from the new movie to the game, it would likely be the Gammas as a duo. The final boss of the film isn't suited to a game like this and even he was, the Gammas are more central as characters. Plus it looks like they have plenty of cool moves to work with.

But of course they've never shied away from multiple versions of the same character before so Gohan Blanco and Piccolo Naranja are also likely picks.

If there is more DLC, it will almost certainly be Gohan Final and Ganma 1 & 2.

Don't know if this is the appropriate thread to address that, but since DBSSH mentions Android 21 that means the events of this game story mode are canon to DBS?

All the movie confirms about Android 21 is that she's dead and her real name is Vomit.

Presumably this is a message from Toriyama on behalf of the FGC (which he is definitely a member of) to say "hurry up and nerf this bitch ArcSys."

It means that Android 21's look was based on Gero's late wife's (made officially canon in the movie) look and that her real name was Vomi. That's about it. Storymode is not part of the DBSuper continuity, no.

21 is a different breed though, while Marvel 3 in theory should have Zero overly dominating the game, the Zeros generally don't go far, much less win tournaments.

DBFZ meanwhile has whoever is top 1 being overly dominant, and Labcoat has the silliest bullshit in DBFZ yet, and while the debuffing grab is her worst aspect, it's not the only thing, and that's the problem, a combination of a bunch of busted tools, on top of her being about to debuff damage permanently, which no one else can do, it's a really bad way of making a character unique.

Huh, had to double check, and I didn't notice before the movie said she is "Gero's late wife", surprising they confirmed that instead of keeping vague what's up with her.

The top 8 for CEO 2022 was hype. I think this game could last another 6 years of relevance with a Season 4 & 5 DLC roster, more single player modes and Rollback Netcode

Yeah, games like Super SF2 Turbo, Smash Melee and KoF 98 have had large active competitive scenes for about 25 years (more so for SF2)

No Labcoat certainly helped. Hopefully the July patch shakes up the game.

I wouldn't expect any new content for the game. Maybe DLC characters related to the new movie but I would expect them to save it for FighterZ 2.

Rollback won't happen as stated by the producer, single modes probably wouldn't be profitable; they certainly wouldn't do it for free. So yeah...

Honestly if there wasn't so much pushback I wouldn't be surprised the upcoming patch would even happened.

If we are to get any DLC announcements for FighterZ, it would be this Friday. There is 45 minute event but I wouldn't hold my breath

I wonder about her not being broken anymore lol.

They toned down her bullshit sure, but she still has bullshit, the fucking debuff Super is still a permanent debuff, at least you can't combo into it, but the main bullshit is still there, and I see no nerfs to her silly hitboxes and how she outpriorizites so much.

So yeah, nerfed, sure, not broken? Time will tell, if y'all are unlucky she'll be kinda like Kid Boo, nerfed but still monstrous.

Every other character getting buffs is already a nerf againts Lab Coat 21 (making hear match-ups less favorable), she's fine as it is now.

I guess they'll announce a new season? Otherwise I don't see why they'd do another World Tour.

It's cool and all but I'm ready to move on from the game. The lack of good netcode takes the wind out of me. Watching the tournament is still fun.

It could also be where they announce the sequel.
