A sequel for FighterZ is coming?

Post by DBZAOTA482 » Sat Jun 26, 2021 10:51 pm

It's said ArcSystem is looking for a team to work on a fighting game for a "super famous battle manga" though it doesn't necessarily mean it's Dragon Ball. Naruto, One Piece, or Demon Slayer could that very manga but, on the other hand, FighterZ sold 6 million copies and Bamco usually follows up their series if they've shown to gather a profit.

Not only that there's still a lot they can do with the formula. Stuff like Rollback netcode and new characters are obvious inclusions but there's other stuff they can do:
  • Reduce the crazy tracking on Superdash and make it easier to punish
  • No autocorrect on whiff
  • Pushblock
  • Revamped movesets (characters like Tien are wasted opportunities)
  • New Story Mode
  • Reworked Arcade Mode with difficulty based on progression and the computer actually playing better rather than beefed up stats. Also mini-storylines for each character.
  • 1 vs. 1 Mode. Self-explanatory.
  • Challenge Mode. Engage in battles with different objectives to fulfill.
  • Survival Mode. Play as one character and fight an infinite amount of opponents till you are K.O.'d.
  • Gallery Mode. Play intros, outros, cutscenes, and music freely. Also you can look at artwork.
  • Alternate costumes (nothing crazy needed. Stuff like Goku w/ Kanjiless orange gi and Yamcha w/ short hair will do)

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.

We will probably see XV3 next year than a sequel to Fighterz.

In case there is a sequel, I can see all the improvements for the "competitive" FGC, but if they want to do a FighterZ 2, I beg that Arksys makes a DECENT single player experience, for the Dragon Ball fans who are not interested in competitive fighting.

Because the first game didn't have that. Its single player was one of the most boring Story Modes of the entire Dragon Ball videogame franchise.

No where does it say ArcSystem is working on it, a developer hasn't been confirmed yet.

No, but sources say ArcSystem is working on a fighting game based on a "super famous battle manga that everyone knows" and no battle manga is more famous than Dragon Ball.

A bit too vague. Naruto , One Piece, FOTNS or YuYu would fit the bill.

Naruto and One Piece are debatable. FOTNS and YuYu are generally pretty niche outside Japan.

ArcSys are a Japanese company, which tend to be a lot more... egocentric when it comes to such broad statements such as "a manga that everyone knows." What they probably meant was "a manga that everyone knows [in Japan]."

If it's based on a battle manga, odds are ArcSystem aren't the ones calling the shots. Bamco for certain would know better than to alienate such a large portion of their potential consumers.

Would they say "super famous battle manga" if it were a sequel to the one they already made? That sounds to me more like it'd be for something else. Like hey, DBZ worked out well for us, let's have a crack at Naruto.

A sequel to FighterZ would be cool, though it sounds like they're still working on supporting the original. It was quiet for a while, but they just announced a new patch.

So you can make posts like this. They want to keep you guessing.

I'm all for anime fighter crossover in the Fighterz. Seeing Naruto, Ichigo, Yusuke, and other anime characters in the game style would be so excellent. And if they do Fighterz 2 with rollback, I'm also for it.
