I'm not to sure on the no movie characters thing. Janemba at least has a strong fanbase requesting him. I dont think theres many theyd use now though.

Perhaps Bojack and Janemba but right now youd be treading on Turles, Slug and Hatchiyak (not that i have a problem with any of these) but I think theyd go for something more diverse, like Super content
I meant the upcoming movie specifically. It's very likely they'll include other Z movie characters

we've basically used all the current movies already anyway, Beerus and Golden Freeza are here.

i guess if new broly has very different moves they might add him but I doubt it.

Paragus when?

Paragus isn't a fighter, we still have Janemba and Gogeta who are quite significant to the franchise, and there's the whole ToP arc and the original DB series. There's still a lot of things to be added.

I'm pretty sure Broli (Rage form) will be added seeing as how heavily it is pushed in merch and that means Blue Gogeta will be his DLC partner. It just doesn't make sense not to put Super Broli in there if Blue Gogeta is going to be added

Paragus is just someone I would like to be playable in the games more. He has a few attacks across the media and I'm sure they can get creative like companies get with 17. I know he's not likely but he's not exactly in many games and Id welcome him over more variations of Goku and Vegeta or the standard run of characters most games have.

Then again Id also like Majin Ozotto and King Cold to be in more games but I know the odds of them is low across the board. If people like Hercule, Videl and friggin Babidi can be playable in other games it cant be too hard.

Or none of them get added not to make things confusing with contradicting alternate versions (they could add Broly as an alternate costume, but unlikely gonna happen), and they get left for another time, the next game. I think it's pretty clear ArcSys isn't doing a Xenoverse and following "what sells good and is popular at the moment" when making such decisions.

With the success of DBFZ, Season 2 is pretty much guaranteed with Jiren and Kefla being the most likey new additions.

they wont do alternative costumes because of how the modelling is done. They have, however, dont three gokus and two vegetas, so they arent against alternate character versions.

And that what sells good and is popular is flat out wrong given the content they have added so far. Theyve gone with all the expected characters that were requested or highly popular in the other games, recent super content and the populat movie villains.

This game is doing well, there is no reason to not keep adding to/milking it for now.

They can rework that system, or just make a full model specifically for that character to commemorate the movie. Three Gokus and Vegetas are still of the same timeline, they don't contradict each other's existence. Brolys and Bardocks would be alternate versions of themselves. If by popular now you mean popular for the past 20 years, then yes. Cooler and Broly were the most popular movie villains since they appeared and touched the western lands overseas. They added Vegeta and Goku bases which nobody asked for. The expeceted characters were Bardock and Broly. Everything else was expected because of the leaks, there was as much of a high demand for Cooler, 17, Vegito and Zamasu as for every other character out there.

Base Goku and Vegeta were only added because they were really popular in Japan actually. Also if we go by your logic they'd have no reason to add Kefla, Jiren or any other Super characters because apparently Arc System Works doesn't focus on popularity.

By my logic, focusing on the essentials of the series isn't equivalent to focusing on popularity.

And Broli Super is essential because he is the antagonist of Dragon balls next big movie, point being exactly? Wether he and Gogeta will be the last or first characters won't matter since they will be added through sheer force of popularity AND through representing the movie.

1. Considering this is how they model to work with the animation techniques they use, they are unlikely to change it given its a company staple, look at Guilty Gear.

2. All these Gokus and Vegetas, though cosmetically close, do not play like each other. There is most likely a way to make both Broly's different. Even if they arent the same timelines, they have shown they can take characters and make multiple versions.

3. I didnt say Arc ignore popularity, far from it. I specifically said they went with the popular options because they cared about what the fans want with this game.

The game doesnt even have to focus on story essential because it has its own plot, but they avoided TOP stuff, probably to use it in the future. I expect JIren and Kefla to be a future add because they, like Broly and the majority of this cast, are popular, highly marketable etc.

the costumes thing has been talked about in all their games. They arent modelled in the same way street fighter or tekken are, with a base model and interchangable clothing. Doing new costumes would mean rebuilding the characters from scratch and that is a lot of work for a skin.

That's because of the way Arc makes their models. Alternate costumes cost a lot of time since they have to a lot of work to the model so that it works in every situation.
It would be nice if we could make custom palettes though.
So we're ignoring the simple question about Christmas colors, so you defend the devolper. *sigh* fine.

I Still find it dumb. Arc systems has several games under it's belt. You'd think they would have gotten the hint well before now to change how they model characters to allow for alternate costumes. There's not really an excuse for this and it comes off lazy and dumb. Especially considering that instead of modeling New Lobby Avatars they could have modeled actual new costumes for the Halloween event.

You won't convice me otherwise so Stop Trying.

Now I'll ask again. Can we expect a Christmas event with Christmas Colors?

I learned you can't try out the free week of Switch online without giving a credit card or PayPal. Unfortunate.

How safe is paying money through a Switch? Apparently you can't free trial through the website.

I'd like to participate in this Halloween event, but more hoops to jump through keep appearing.

From my understanding, they are modelled the way they are specifically to make their animation style work. They arent going to change that within the production and life span of a game because they wont be able to do anything for existing characters without remaking them from the ground up.

Theres a lot of work that goes into how these characters are animated and made if you look, so 'azy and dumb' is an ignorant thing to say.

And the lobby models are signifanctly less taxing to make than a full fighting character, so thats dumb to even compare them like they are equal

Uhm no need to get angry dude. I wasn't defending the developers. It's just explaining the way they work. Wheter it's practical or not is another question. What I do like however is the immense roster we got from a new DragonBall game in a new series of games. Compare the roster to the Budokai and Burst limit rosters and this game feels a lot more complete with characters feeling more unique to boot.

You don't seem to read very well. You're not going to change my mind, so stop trying. I've already explained my veiwpoint on it and I not going to debate you on it. I'm entitled to my opinion and you are not going to change it so move on.


Now does anyone think we are getting a Christmas event or not? Do anyone think we'll get Christmas colors?

Dude stop stressing over it, pay your $20 for online, and then erase your card's infomation from the switch.

Honestly. You stressing over nothing.
