If xv3 isn't coming out till 2019 then it needs to be a huge jump from 2 cause they would've had 3 years to work on it.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

The visuals look good. I hope Kikuchi Shunsuke's music is available in the game.

And one more thing, it better not be broken like that Fist of the North Star game they made a long time ago. Balance it as much as you can. I don't expect there to be a lot of characters. Maybe about 14-20 characters I suppose. Maybe Beerus or Broly can be the secret bosses.

Shit, if this game succeeds, I can relive the good ol' days when I played Budokai 3 and Tenkaichi 3 simutaneosly, with this and XV2.

This isn't directed at you, but for me personally, the game needs an original soundtrack, not every game has to stick to Kikuchi's music. I thought that stopped being common a decade ago. Though I wouldn't mind it being free DLC.

I've been wanting an ASW-developed Dragon Ball game that wasn't limited to 240p for years. Even though this looks gorgeous (probably built on Xrd's tech), I am kind of disappointed it isn't sprite work.

What makes you think that? Why not more? I hope we get Dragon Ball Super characters.

It seems cool and probably will do for now, while giving more time to Dimps to work on XV3. :)

Arc System are making this?!? I'm excited! Please be a genuinely great fighting game!

I was playing Tekken 7 today and thought to myself "Damn, I wish there could be a Dragon Ball game with really good fighting mechanics" and this new game just may be it!

Super excited to see how this all unravels.

You sure it's not some scenes that get played when you make a special attack?

Nope. Here's an example of what they did before in Guilty Gear Xrd

Because a 2D fighting game with graphics like this would take a shit ton of time and money to make, especially when it comes to the DB liscense. Have you played Guilty Gear Xrd from them? And if so, you know the reason why not all of the returning cast from the PS2 games made it in because the models took a lot of time.

Hey, all. Let's try not to clog things up TOO MUCH with random lists of proposed/theoretical rosters, and miscellaneous one-off comments :). Obviously there's going to be excitement over it, and there isn't a WHOLE LOT to go off of right now, but let's do our best!

Anyway, the PDF and its listing has been removed from Bandai Namco's site. As many folks had noticed, it was actually dated for June 12. Since it's been removed, that definitely leads me to think someone accidentally published (or scheduled it to publish) earlier than expected, rather than them posting it on purpose to get ahead of a potential leak.

Oh my God! Oh my God!

I can't believe it. My prayers have been fullfilled. I've been begging for a 2.5D DB game since like forever. (I even created a thread here on Kanzenshuu: viewtopic.php?t=30256)

The art style looks gorgeous. I really hope this game will be good, as XV2 kinda deluded me. I want this game to have fast, skill-based competitive gameplay without bullshit. Crossing my fingers that this game will surpass Burst Limit in both graphics and gameplay (it definitely should).

I will definitely buy this one though.

Dragonball Fighting is a genre now?

Not really much information to get excited about, hope to see some footage soon (Guessing on the 12th when this was supposed to be published)

Also, that title only makes me thing of this [spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
