"Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

[THEGOKU]

This game has a huge opportunity to have a great roster with lots of depth. And given that fans have been wanting something like this for years it only makes sense to get it now with even more characters from the two tournament arcs from Super. As long as the fighting is balance and the online is great I think this will be a very successful game.

Not really much information to get excited about

2D Fighting game, in the vein of MvC, made by ArcSystem Works, for the current gen consoles. For some, me included, that is enough to get excited about.

Let's hope that it's actually a full traditional fighter and not something like Extreme Butouden and that it takes a page from both Guilty Gear and Blazblue on its single player content.

Any chance we'll see more at E3?

Btw theres already a subreddit for the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonBallFighters/

I'm super excited, especially that the game will be released on PC. Xenoverse proved that it's worth it. Give me the pre-order already.

The announcement was supposed to come on Monday, which is during E3, so yeah, we'll probably get a trailer then.

Very interesting, not a fan of the 2D fighting style in dragon ball games but if somehow the roster is huge like Tenkaichi 3 sized with a mix of characters from Heroes they will definetly have my attention, the last game they did like this was Extreme Butoden on the 3DS and the roster was really tiny and they put characters from Heroes like Broly and Gohan SS4 only for them to be relegated as support only characters, so not expecting much out of this but we'll see.

You think we could get something earlier then Monday? Maybe this weekend?

Not going to happen, this is an ArcSystems fighting game after all. The roster will probably be 26-40 characters.

Since they are starting from scratch the roster will probably be fewer than 26.

[Hellspawn28]

I would be happy with 30 characters in the game. If people want a big size selection of characters, go play Xenoverse.

Finally a fighting game made by someone besides Dimps or Spike

Welp there goes what little interest i had then, good to know i have nothing to look foward to until Xenoverse 3.

[Bullza]

Hmm I'm surprised really. With the success of Xenoverse I was thinking they wouldn't feel the need to milk the series as much.

A 2.5D game might be alright as the actual fighting in Xenoverse is terrible. Hopefully they make something akin to Tekken.

Seems like it could be a spiritual successor to Burst Limit or Budokai.

I bet it'll be another Raditz to Buu thing yet again though.

Everything points out to it being a full traditional Marvel vs Capcom styled fighting game with ArcSystem Works' usual charm. Expect air-dashes, long combos with the usual combo breaker, flashy supers with rave-inducing background and a metal soundtrack.

A 2.5/2D Dragon Ball fighting game!? Developed by Arc System!?

TAKE. MY. FUCKING. MONEY.

[Hellspawn28]

I feel like we will get Super characters since Super is a hot thing at the moment. I feel like the major ones like Beerus, Golden Freeza, Hit, Zamasu and Black are very likely to show up.

Considering how much money Super is making, characters like those are bound to show up.

The success of Xenoverse allows them to do other games between Xenoverse releases instead of rushing out a new Xenoverse every year.

[Grimlock]

I don't mind this game having small roster and/or going from Raditz to Buu if it is just a lead-up to Xenoverse 3. I see it as being "hey, I'm just here to give Dimps more time to develop Xenoverse 3. I'll be fun but I'll leave all the interesting and new stuff to the next game!". After all, if the next Dragon Ball games return to the "Raditz to Buu without anything new" era it'll be a nightmare...

That being said, it is cool to have that style of game for now, so people can stop crying for this genre while at the same it prepares for XV3.

Well it's not called "Dragon Ball Z Fighters" :p
