Dimps already said they want Xenoverse to have its own identity. Hoping for Heroes what-if characters is deceving yourself.

But I do hope Chilled, Abo, Cado, and Tarble made the cut. They need and deserve some big love.

I know this, I'm just giving an example of something that could make people lose their minds that wouldn't be Super characters.

Okay, I'm excited. He did say we won't get the full roster revealed in the stream though, so we'll probably have to wait and discover the rest of the characters in the full game.
I mean if that is the case than I wonder who made the cut. Lose our minds is a bit of a intense phrase to use for this stream whatever it is they plan to reveal. Could it be Hit and the rest of the U6 gang? That would be the only thing I can think of that would make sense to use that phrase. I mean we do have Goku and Vegeta in their base forms in the Whis training gear and that could be why?
It could be some crazy shit like SSJ4 Broly as well.
Hey your guess is as good as mine at this point but if it turns out to be that I'll take it too. I wouldn't be surprised if it is some of the heroes transformations because if it was characters we had in previous games already I don't see us "losing our minds" for that.

I think it's certainly possible that we could get Champa and Vados, probably as Beerus and Whis clones.

Hmm, I'm thinking it's gotta be some more Super related characters, that's the only thing I can think of that would have us flipping out over the roster specifically. Other than that and the fact that he's making it sound like the roster might be even bigger as a whole than what we thought?

Looking forward to whatever they reveal here in a bit though.

If the leaked character roster (which had 87 character slots) wasn't the final one, then what are they hiding?

Okay, I DO hope we get some nice surprises but technically... it can't be really THAT special. I mean we can see all moves in the beta (or at least the desciptions in the menu) and there aren't THAT many new moves (mostly special moves we know fom already known new characters). So unless they were hiding more new moves I don't expect much (because otherwise that would mean all new announced characters get only already known moves and almost nothing of their own).
Of course I want more and it's not that I don't trust Rhymestyle. I just don't wanna hype myself up to the point of going all "waku waku" (as Goku would state it) and get disappointed in the end. Final Form Cooler is in and that was really important to me. But if they announce Dabura and Bebi (Vegeta/ Super/ Super 2/Adult) I'd welcome it of course.

Edit.: Oh and Surprise Super Saiyajin Tales/Turles would be nice. I mean his Power Level can get high enough by the improved Fruit of Might so the only thing he'd need is get reeeeally angry, right? (and the Super Saiyajin Hairstyle for him is already in the game)

Maybe Champa and Vados ? After all, they likely have the same moves as Beerus and Whis respectively.

Keep in mind in the first game not all moves were available to custom characters in the base game, and even after DLC some still weren't, like God Fist.

No idea who they're hiding, but of those slots, only 2-3 were unaccounted for, too. It's questionable how DBS Trunks and Black are going to be handled, but, after the website updated, long or short haired Videl miiiiight have filled one of them up.

The only logic I can think of for this is that either they still just didn't have all the slot stuff sorted out in that build, or maybe it only shows characters that can be unlocked via natural progression and secret unlocks via Dragon Balls or whatever only pop up once wished for?

I could see it being a full roster for GT from the Baby saga on. Meaning GT Goten, GT Gohan, Gt Vegeta and things like that. As far as it goes with the beta I doubt they would put everything there.

According to that build Trunks has the same number of costumes as the first game and it doesn't seem like the Villainous costumes from the first game will be returning so DBS Trunks could be a costume, and Black being a preorder bonus probably doesn't have a locked slot on the select screen unless you have him. I've heard people say before that if you didn't have SSJ4 Vegeta in the first game there was a permanent locked slot, but I recently played the game when I had no internet connection and that disabled all of my DLC and there was no locked slot for SSJ4 Vegeta. Depending on the number of characters not yet revealed the set up for the roster we saw might have not been final, or like you said secret characters might not show up as a locked slot.

Point taken. CaC can't get all Moves.

Anyway... DBS Trunks... I wonder, will he get Future Super Saiyajin as a transformation skill or the regular Super Saiyajin? I mean Future SSJ can't go Super Saiyajin 2 and with regular SSJ his Ki must be limited to 4 bars because otherwise he could go Super Saiyajin 3. So... maybe a new Future Super Saiyajin skill? Maybe one where he goes Super Saiyajin Hybrid (my fan name for the new form since he is half earthling and maybe that has an effect on his "God Form") with 5 Ki bars instead of going SSJ3? Or will the old Future SSJ simply get an update?

I'm guessing he'll just have SSJ1 and 2, but the hair probably won't be accurate to Super. They can probably tweak what Super Saiyan forms the series characters have, I doubt they have to use the exact same rules as the custom characters.

Well, since his Super Saiyan 2 in the anime is incorrect, there's no need to be accurate with the anime. If XV2 brings his Super Saiyan 2 (which I damn hope so), it would be better to give him the hair seen in Dragon Ball Heroes, which is the correct one.

No, the Super one IS the correct one because that's how it looks in the official product that is Dragon Ball Super. How it looks in Heroes is irrelevant. Super is the first time he's officially gone SSJ2.

The Super one is pretty unacurate, SSJ and SSJ2 pretty much look the same, the manga did a better job putting lighting to know when he's really a SSJ2. Can anyone give the stream's link through?

I don't quite think that's what you meant, but the way you phrased it is not how things work. Dragon Ball Super is not the only "official" product with SS2 Trunks in the franchise, though the anime design is likely the most important reference for depicting Super!Trunks in that state. (This is assuming we've even seen it drawn correctly, since we don't have a settei for reference.)
