Fuu's presence alone is enough to make think it's fake, that and the lack of verification from anyone outside the person who posted it on Gamefaqs.

That said, the rest isn't bad. Each one has something unique to offer. Janemba has his crazy sword stuff and vanishes, Toppo's got grabs, machine gun blasts and copious posing, Jiren has blink punches, All Might smashes and a big cinematic launcher, Kefla is body explosions for days, Kid Goku has all sorts of cool possibilities with his power pole, Kamehameha launcher, Nimbus and Rock-Paper-Scissors, and Broly is Broly. Only other weak link is Bardock, who really doesn't have much unique to him.

I find it hard to believe Android 17 wouldn't be in the DLC. The sheer hype from him from the TOP would make him playable, just put him in his Super outfit.

The DLC leak is not a bad list expect for Fuu. I would have taken Mira instead, but I do think a Season 2 pass is likely given how popular the game is. They would be throwing away money if they don't do a Season 2 pass.

There are three types of deconfirms in the game:

1: Soft deconfirm: making them a lobby avatar. No reason they can't be in the game in some form or get added later, but if they were, logically their avatar would get added along with the DLC.

See: Mr Satan, Bulma, Whis, etc.

2: Hard deconfirm: making them an assist. If they were going to be playable, they wouldn't be part of someone else's moveset.

See: 17, Chiaotzu, Zamasu, the Ginyus.

3: Disrespectful bodying: having alternate versions of them playable, spreading their moves around those other characters, replacing them with those alternate versions in trailers and taking the one gimmick that was entirely unique to them over those other versions and INVENTING A NEW CHARACTER TO DO IT INSTEAD.

See: Super Buu.

Maybe they will do an expansion the same way they do with GGXRD.

Sooo when does this game's story mode get even remotely challenging? I thought at first "Okay, they're literally standing still doing nothing because this is just the beginning" but I am now up to Chapter 8 after 4 hours in and the AI hasn't changed at all. Every fight is just a slaughterfest without ever getting hit more than twice.

I'm having fun with it. Wasn't really paying attention prior to the release but some guy I know said I would like it, so I bought it. Not really good at video games, but it plays good.

I read somewhere that the 21 saga is tough but I don't know what these folks' frame of reference of difficulty in fighters is.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

I downloaded the game already but I can’t even tell what the difference is in the versions. My version as Goku Black and SsGSs Vegeta And Goku. I also thought I was supposed to have additional tracks for music. And if so how do I access them or have them playing during my fights?

Sorry for being s complete noob. I haven’t even picked up my PS4 controller in almost 2 years but when I heard about this game I knew I’d be hooked.
The music and commentator packs were delayed, you'll get them for free but they don't come out until a later date. You should have received an email about it at some point, I know I did.
Is there a way to tell which version I have? Swore I purchased ultimate and I think it says finger z

Just finished the first story arc, and wow that was horrible. It was so hilariously easy and mind numbing that I never put a single RPG element to use even once. The story was so weak and half-assed that I struggled to even get through it. The only thing keeping me playing were some of the cool little dialogues the characters had with each other, and Android 21. Her English VA is insane.

Won't get my hopes up for Fu, even though I don't remember datamining being wrong before. But if he does appear, then I may actually get this game.

Still, it doesn't make much sense unless Android 21 appears in XV2. Which won't be the case, the special collaboration between those games is already set. Kaioshin of Time's avatar for FighterZ and Android 21's clothes and hair (wig) for XV2. Why would Fu appear here? Nonetheless, hopefully he does so that Android 21 makes her way to Xenoverse 2!

I am loving Fighter Zee. Super Dragonball Z will always have a close spot in my heart for sheer aesthetic, but as a lover of fighting games, this one right here, is the best thing to come out of the franchise for console play. GTFO Budokai 3, your time in the sun is officially gone with the clouds.

I don't get it, you liked the game or not?
I've enjoyed what I've done so far, but it's boring

EDIT:

Have the data miners found any hints towards the eight DLC characters? I've stayed out of this thread trying to keep spoiler-free

There's not much to go on showing the characters themselves, anyone can mock up a text file like that

This game is genuinely good, I can understand why the reviews have been so good. Though I prefer the style of play in Xenoverse, something with that game just doesn’t feel quite right, and I can’t see where they can improve on it.
With FighterZ i’m just struggling to get the hang of it, but I’m sure i’ll Improve eventually.

Anyway, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous, but there’s just one issue that continues to bug me... what’s with the hands? They’re absolutely huge.

These are the DLC characters according to a datamine. Take it with a grain of salt.

Broly
Bardock
Zamasu (With Fused?)
Vegito (Blue?)
Cooler
Android 17 (Ranger)
Base Goku
Base Vegeta

If it's 5th Cooler, I'm a happy camper. Also, Slaythe and Lapislettuce will be VERY happy with this leak.

This leak is better then the last one, I can see Vegetto being Super with Blue being a level 3 super or install. Zamasu would have to be fused. I have my reservations with Coola and Base Goku/Vegeta. But we'll see how ArcSys can pull them off. Goku seems pretty safe with Kaioken, Genki Dama and of the like. Base Vegeta seems hard considering all his iconic attacks are already with his two forms already in the game, I can't see what he'd bring to the table. Coola would have to be basically a heavy taller Freeza, I can see him being more melee focused then Freeza is too. If I could alter something I would switch Base Vegeta with Caulfla/Kafla.

Yup, that's him (as well as the DLC).
