"Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

Not gonna lie, I think it's a bit silly to have Goku turn SSJ3 for a Kamehameha Ult. If he's gonna be SSJ3, use Dragonfist XD

I don't think its set like that, there was one gameplay video from an interview that shown him doing the same ultimate as an SS1 as well. But yes, Dragonfist needs to be in the game, preferably as his SS3 Ult.

Well... fighting games in general are pretty niche so naturally a game like FighterZ would alienate a subset of the DB fandom. Even Budokai isn't completely safe from this over since Tenkaichi came out.

I see it more as just ignorance from casuals and BT3 fanboys that are spoiled by huge rosters saying this, while not in the know that Namco-Bandai isn't going to make BT4 or RB3 because (1. BT was published by Atari, and Spike left Namco after their poor track record after BT3) and (2. Raging Blast sold poorly, so it doesn't make financial sense to retreat that. They wanted to make Ultimate Tenkaichi because of the people complaining about RB2 not being as good as BT3 - even though people were complaining about BT3 being too hard, so they had to dumb down the mechanics (Namco told me this on FB) but then Spike screwed it up, because those same people demanded for QTE mechanics (When Ninja Storm was popular) and ruined the gameplay claiming thats what they wanted. Now we're back to square one with that side of the fandom. People want to exhaust the hype of BT3 with the same demands for the same type of game every year. Thats the problem with casuals.

I'll probably be in the minority, but I wanna save Dragon Fist for SS4 Ult. No real reason other than I think it'll look cool in these graphics.

Damn, I gotta stop talking about SS4

E3 already ended. I loved what I saw but here's the list of things that I would like to see improved:

- Use official outfits as alternate costumes for characters like Goku/Vegeta/Gohan since they have it, instead of having random color scheme versions of the main one (I mentioned this one before).

- 1 vs 1 option. 3 vs 3 is cool, but I don't want to be restricted to that and I'm not feeling i'm asking for too much here.

- Variety in characters introduction clashes. It's always the same one and I would like to have different ones. Like the classic of both characters punching each other in the face; one rushes to kick and other one blocks...Three different ones are more than enough. Just one feels repetitive.

So far that's it.

What on-line functionalities can we expect? A tournament mode would be awesome.

Look at the awards, it's surreal.
Fascinating.

Well, that is if SS4 is in the game. Granted I do like GT's dragonfist animations a lot better than SS3 Goku's. Especially the one he used on Eis Shenron from his BT3 Ult. That would look incredible if ArcSystem did it.

- 1 vs 1 option. 3 vs 3 is cool, but I don't want to be restricted to that and I'm not feeling i'm asking for too much here.

Then there is the 1v1 Option. I think its needed for various reasons. My core reason is just for match up flexibility, as 3v3 constantly will get boring and repetitive at some point. Also, 1v1 would help users focus on one character to master at a time directly, as opposed of trying to do 3 at once. Then there's the learning curb that I think having 1v1 would give to people not used to this playing format. People should be able to get used to the engine before they can play it at its fullest extent. And a skilled player that can pull off a 1v3 victory would impress more people than just everything 3v3. So I want to be able to select 1v1 minimum, or 2v2, and 1v2, 1v3 just for the skill testing. But at the least I want a 1v1 option.

I expect player vs. player casual/normal matches, ranked matches and online challenges in arcade mode. Very common things. I don't expect any innovation, but new modes are welcome

I don't remember a DBZ game winning awards or being nominated like this well ever, honestly they have a potential masterpiece on their hands and with it only being 20% done according to some articles I can see the greatness on the horizon. This game is a chance to have characters like Tien and Piccolo shine and give some characters that people usually don't use in games life. I think 40 characters max is a good list and maybe do DLC or a sequel depending the final product. Kudos to the team though on the great E3 success.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Oh my god, there's barely enough room for nominations and awards to be stuck on. That is incredible. I don't think anyone was expecting this at all. Kudos to everyone working on this at Arc System Works.

The only reason why it didn't get more awards it's because they would cover the screen and people wanted to play.

That is unreal. And to think that the game is only 20% finished.

[LightBing]

We should be getting new characters leaked soon, right? V-Jump leaks are coming already. Give me some Piccolo, please. He has a chance of a very interesting play style.

[Grimlock]

Here's the V-Jump page about this game. Nothing that we didn't already know.

Hopefully they add some battle damage but i know that super sonic warriors and budokai series had little to no in-battle battle damage

[MisteryOne]

Loving what I have been seeing so far. So Future Trunks confirmed, no surprises there honestly. They are only at 20% yet it looks so awesome...

I think this is the first time since BoG that I am legimately hyped for this franchise thanks for this game and Super's manga. Finally DB has actually been reborn for me.

I can actually undestand why they would not include that. It would be a ton of work and I don't think it's really important, at least IMO

[EA575]

Xrd--particularly Revelator and onward--has some battle damage like scratches, dirt, and scuffs on their clothes and faces after a long match. One of the characters, Ky, has his hair down from a ponytail after getting hit too many times. When that happens, the music changes to his original theme song.
That's as far as battle damage goes in Guilty Gear. It will take a lot of work to alter their costumes after a match, in which case they're better off making a new character.

[LightBing]

Nothing new in V-Jump that's disappointing. Oh well, there's always next month. Maybe they are waiting for a semi-big reveal when they announce the specific date of the beta.

[cringey]

That V Jump scan, man.. I feel robbed.

Budokai 3 was nominated for Best Fighting Game by Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (but lost to Mortal Kombat: Deception) as well as Best Licensed Video Game and Most Improved Sequel by GameSpot.

Budokai Tenkaichi 2 won Fighting Game of the Year by X-Play and came 2nd place with IGN.

Burst Limit was a top-rated title for Playstation 3 and was nominated for a Spike Video Game Award as Best Fighting Game of the Year.

[Nickolaidas]

No new char reveal? That's ... well, that was disappointing.
