I thinking having chars like #17 as assist is annoying, I mean we had that in the Supersonic Warriors series before, I know they are focusing more on the gameplay than the
character rooster, that's why I think they shouldn't focus much on Super.

Apparently just like GGXrd, FighterZ's story mode will be nothing more but a big OVA using in game graphics :thumbdown:
Wow, not really invested in this new story mode, an evil army of the Z-Fighters? #16 revived and probably playing a major role? No offense, but this looks like it was written by a ten years old lol

Also, I don't get this complaint with the presentation of the story mode. Am I mis-interpreting what this means? In-game cutscenes are bad or does 'OVA using in-game graphics' means something else like how SHin Budokai handled story?

The story mode doesn't sound great but I'll take it over "Here's fucking Namek again guys!"

But most of the gameplay we've seen so far has been on Namek :D

Touche, but at least we're not getting another retelling of all the Z shit with Super & GT bells and whistles added in. I cannot fathom how people aren't sick to death of every Dragon Ball game doing that stuff over and over and over again in perpetuity.

I don't get the hate for the Blue saiyans. Sure, they could have used them as transformations like Golden Frieza or have SSG Goku and SSG Vegeta as separate characters that turn Blue, but this way, while they are recolours, they can focus on actual new characters while adding the obligatory actual godly forms that the saiyans have now. They are in a way extra characters that barely need effort to be added and are popular.

As for the story,people seem to forget that Android arc's premise is "Frieza survived and comes back as a cyborg, he and his father are killed by a time traveler who is Bulma's and Vegeta's son from the future that can also go SS, because everyone can now including Vegeta since he is pure evil, and is going to warn about two teenagers that were modified by a Earthling which somehow made them way stronger than Mecha Frieza despite the later having tecnology from more than 50 conquered planets". And that is before the whole Cell thing comes into play. I don't see how we can say the premise of this game is bad when the original manga itself had such an awful premise (and story arc in general imo). Let's see how they handle it. It can't be worse than another Raditz to Buu story.

Xrd's story mode has no fighting in it, no gameplay; you just sit there watching it like a movie. That's the way I like it, but some people, understandably I guess, want to play inbetween cutscenes.

There's a lot of stuff to take into account.

For example, if the roster turns out to be 16-18 characters, and the gameplay forces 3v3 on you, I don't really see how an arcade ladder mode would work, since after 5 matches you've basically run through the entire roster (unless you're fighting the same guys over and over again). If the roster is a bigger number (as in 26-28 characters) then we're talking.

But ArcSys has never disappointed me in the past where single player content is concerned, I see little reason to worry now.

34 characters is good and better then I hoped for becuse that means room for main characters and Big bads with a few extra. :thumbup:

Kale being in likely means Broly wont but you never know. Hit is also defifinatly in if those two are.

Honestly, that sounds like bullshit. Plausible bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless.

Really want it to be true, though. 34 characters are much more than I could have hoped for.

Things I've noted since that first came out yesterday:

1) It was posted on the 2ch clone site(hence the lack of reaction from other users)

2) That many characters is shockingly high, as well as that many costumes

3) GameTagerZ's(works for Play Asia, posts here) has a source who says it's bullshit, but one or two "obvious" picks on it are true

4) Slaythe(also posts here) said it might be fake, but it might not be fake, that the timing of it "lines up"; I don't know where his basis of inside knowledge comes from, but he has some

the only characters who I forsee being in the game from the leaks is Ultimate Gohan(basically confirmed at this point), Tenshinhan, Yamcha and maybe Videl which would be cool since I like her character. Kale and Caulifla are fairly recent so idk about them or really care either way
