DBFZ is already my most anticipated game.

All I need is Beers and Hit. If Beers is in and has a Hakai (5 meters at the least) instant finish, I will need nothing else.

Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

That's why we have 18 and 17 together in their Cell saga outfits, and why 17 isn't treated as his own character like he is in Super. While I think at least Beerus will make it in the game, they seem to be focused on the DBZ era version of the characters.

Ultimate Gohan is likely, but it's also why I think we'll see Goten/Trunks or Gotenks when they're non-existent in Super. If Tenshinhan or Yamcha make it in they'll almost definitely be designed after their Saiyan/Namek saga outfits.
They started the game before the US arc started, so they couldn't have added 17 with his Super outfit, same for 18. And without the actual arc 17 was not either a really popular character or an important one. Goku and Vegeta's outfits are the actual ones from Super (anime version) and Krillin has his DBS outfit. Goku even has his Blue Kaioken. If Tien is added is more likely he will have his ROF outfit.

Of course they are basing more on Z since it's still more popular than Super and before the actual arc the fighting cast was pretty much Goku and Vegeta, with Trunks in his arc and that's it. Saying that it isn't based on Super at all is a nonsense.

I seriously doubt Vegito is likely. He wasn't playable in either SSW2 nor Extreme Butoden. Gotenks on the other hand has a good chance of being in, specially because as characters themselves Goten and Kid Trunks doesn't offer anything.

I doubt any fusion go to the game except Gotenks. Also idk how they will manage 2 Gokus and 2 Vegeta (SSJ and SSJB). It is 3v3 game. I found pretty stupid teams as Goku/Goku(SSGSS)/Vegitto or Vegeta/Vegeta(SSGSS)/Vegitto. Also, I feel some incosistency, because of Gohan. Gohan which we have now is too young for SSJBs or Golden Frieza. So, at least story-wise Adult Gohan (read: Ultimate Gohan) is a must-have. Also, he is now only Saiyan that don't use SSJ form (because of reasons).

I'm willing to make a signature change bet that if we get Tien, he's going to have his Cell arc costume.

I know, but still it is stupid, IMHO.
Btw, I remember in some KOFs was characters with two versions and allowed to choose only one in team.

Seeing what they did with C17/C18, Goku Black/Zamasu could also be handled like that with SSR Black being obviously the playable one.

Trio de Dangers won't be in but it would work with them too. I would choose Basil to be the playable one. because he's the only fighter of this franchise that only fights with kicks and that alone already makes him unique to play with.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Have Tenshinhan or Yamcha ever missed a console fighting game? I know they've been left out of some of the 2D fighters over the years, but I think they've always been included in all the console fighters unless I'm forgetting something.

Of course they will appear, both of them are iconic with their sweet techniques like kikoho,wolf fang fist,etc and their appearance since this game is homaging the dbz manga so there no need to worry about their absence,so your gonna see the death pose again :P

I've heard a theory that Arc could be shooting for a possible 12 villians 12 heroes:

Confirmed Heroes :
SSJ Goku
SSB Goku
SSJ Vegeta
SSB Vegeta
SSJ2 Teen Gohan
SSJ Future Trunks
Piccolo
Krillin

Possible 4 other Heroes:
Mystic Gohan
Gotenks
Bardock
Possible Tien Yamcha dual character? (can't think of anyone else)

Confirmed Villains:
Frieza
Perfect Cell
Majin Buu
Android 16
Android 18 (w/ 17)

Possible 7 other Villains:
Kid Buu
Beerus
Hit
Rosé Black (w/ Zamasu)
Broly
Captain Ginyu
Super Janemba or Super Buu (hopefully the former because 2 Buus are more than enough and Janemba is WAY more unique)

Its a pretty solid 24 character roster. 12 villains and 12 heroes.
I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

Since Android 17 fights alongside Android 18 in the game I would love to see something similar done with Zamasu and Super Saiyan Rosé Goku Black.

The only other tag team that makes a lot of sense to me is Trunks/Goten.

Holy crap. You just made me realize something.

I didn't see Buu in the story trailer (while I saw Frieza and Cell). Which means that the story might be centered around the android saga. Which means Ultimate Gohan doesn't need to be in.

Oh crap ... you don't think they'll pull a Budokai 1, do you? Oh, crap ... is The Great Saiyaman the joke character of the game?!?

I would rather have Future Zamasu a separate character (they can do a great moveset using some of the moves from his badass version of the manga) but I would not say no to a tag team with Rosé Black, it's a great idea.

Relax, Boo is in there during the dead people montage. And Bulma and 18 are both shown with their Super designs so at least part of the story takes place during that time, which means adult Gohan might be in the story as well. But that doesn't mean anything, since he could just be in a cutscene rather than part of the story as a playable character (if the story is even playable, I have no idea).

Gamescom tournament starting soon. Should be fun, although if it's like the EVO one, high quality play should come only in the later phases of the tournament.
