I`m not a Raditz fan but as long he plays differently I`m not against him being in the base roster. Much better than the boring Brolly`s and Janembas and whatever. Raditz in contrast exudes cool.

But yeah, really looking forward to see Kid Buu. I just saw the scans better and he`s got the "Sonic swir"l move wich makes him about purrfect for inclusion in The StrikersTM :twisted:

If Ubb was here my "More Human than Human" would include him, Yamcha and Tenshinhan+Chiatzu. The dream.

I wonder if the rest of that roster (Beerus, Broly, Bardock, and Raditz) are going be in this game?
I don't know how accurate this is but it seems like there'll be 8 DLC characters and Broly, Raditz & Bardock will be among them.
Hum,

Jiren+Toppo assist
Ultra Limit/God Goku
God Vegeta
Hit
Beerus (maybe, I think he should be in base roster, he`s pretty much part of the gang now but he`ll definatly sell as DLC regardless given how popular he is)
Califa+Kale (Kefla)
Zamatsu/Black
Roshi?
Raditz?

I rather have the girls than Broly, it`s about the same "Legendary" design but while Brolly was first he just screams generic, wheras the girls have actual character and we could use more figthing girls in. There`s still the out of te box/gag character slot and I will still vote Arale+Suppaman assist until the slots are all closed.

Aside from the characters, Arcade Mode sounds interesting with the path changes.

Maybe it wasn't in their source or they didn't feel it was necessary to mention? Or maybe you're right. Doesn't matter now, really.

So the 3 most likely Buu saga characters made it in, Gohan, Gotenks and Kid Buu.

I guess there's still a small possibility for Vegito or Dabura. I also think Radditz is very likely.

So, all things considered, there are still six slots for the base roster to close in? That`s still a lot of characters.

Raditz,
Roshi
Beerus
Dabura (to fill up the iconic villains quota)
Arale
Bardock (do we even?)

*looks up*

Oh wait Vegito, of course..sorry Bar. Hey vegito can we get Ubb instead? Yeah? Cool.

Gohan's Ultimate mechanic sounds interesting. I imagine that's why his base states are somewhat low, because you're meant to augment him with that ability. I like the idea of playing a character that starts weak but gets stronger during play; I'm the only person in the known universe who attempted to main Junpei in ArcSys' Persona 4 Arena for that reason. He might be one to try out.

Gotenks' Volleyball special incorporating teammates is cool too. It's a nice touch, like with 18 and Krillin. He should automatically whiff the last spike if the other teammates are KO'd. Should be special dialogue for when he's serving to Piccolo and Tien haha.

Finally, if that is Black and Hit in that arcade screenshot and they're base roster, then that would almost guarantee Tournament of Power characters for DLC. Jiren, Kale and/or Caulifla are the most obvious picks for that. Probably will be among the last DLC we get for the game too if it happens. In the meantime, I'm thinking it'll be mostly movies/DB/GT characters.

One, because he created the move and the other because he trained them? Noise.

I'm thinking for Piccolo they could even reuse his dialogue from the actual scene. Just going "WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME DO THIS?"

Tien, he could at least speak up about how he's been roped into an attack he created. He's too nice about everyone up and stealing his moves.

Holy fuck! I was only expecting a duo, but we got 4 new characters this month.

I'm glad they went with SSJ3 Gotenks instead of SSJ. His moveset looks as fun as I was expecting too.

Ultimate Gohan doesn't have an unique moveset in the show, but as expected ArcSys is going for an interesting approach:
He’s a fairly well rounded character with some interesting aspects. Ultimate Form allows you to spend your Ki Gauges to unlock Gohan’s potential. Depending on how much Ki you use, Gohan will see higher and higher buffs. This move also seems to damage enemies if they’re too close to Gohan when he unlocks his hidden power.
Kid Buu seems to be too OP.

Beerus went from 99% confirmed to 100% thanks to an "accidental" reveal. :lol:
Honestly the other purple character looks more like Hit than Ginyu to me, but I will wait for confirmation on that one.

An arcade mode was finally confirmed. They really knocked it out of the park this month!

Now I just need Hit and SSR Black + Zamasu as assist to be satisfied with the roster. If they want to be kind enough and put Vegetto in too, I won't mind. :P
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

The base roster is likely DBZ-centric. I think Beerus will be the only non-Z character in the base roster.

I fully expect the likes of Radditz, Vegito, or movie characters and maybe Dabura before Super/

Lifting this straight from Shoryuken board:

The one named as "Beerus?" is an interesting one. It clearly has a red and black colors below his head, the same way as Champa has (not Dyspo). At the same time it could look also be a slightly decolorized Ginyu. And he has white eyes, not yellow.
However the one named "Hit?" is surely Hit. Right...? Well, except he is not totally Freeza.
