Adult Gohan has the Great Saiyaman as a transformation.
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

Yep, unless they said anything new while playing, as there were no captions.

The emote/taunt menu also appeared at some point but it wasn't used.

To be fair, the showcase was more of a way to show off the custom mode and online PvP. The fact that they randomly revealed Great Saiyaman is a welcome surprise. We should be getting an ACTUAL reveal during Anime Expo, which is in a couple of weeks.

We're missing 50 characters and the game isn't coming out for the next four months. At this point, we probably get a trailer every 3-4 weeks, each with about 6-8 characters before a launch trailer in October.

I mean the characters that were shown in the Release Date character like UI Goku, SSJ2 Teen Gohan, etc.

Have to say Goku looks very skinny in this game, making SSJ3 Look weird.

Yeah, that's been the general consensus around SSJ3 Goku in this game. His head model isn't even the same shape as his other forms. Obviously the brow changes, but his head shape looks off. The skinny neck just makes it worse. Yamcha has the same problem. Some fans made some edits:

Tenshinhan looks damn near perfect tho, his body looks closer to the traditional Z designs:

And then Goku shirtless...

SSJ3's main problem is the hair proportions (and the thin neck). The rest is due to the field of view of the camera. Other angles look fine.

The thinner Goku imo is because they're going mostly based on Shintani designs. Doesn't bother me that much tbh

Yeah it's just weird. It looks like they took the SSG slimmed down Goku and used it for every form. It's not like the developers suck or anything, since, as other posters pointed out, a lot of the models look great.
Bizarre how they mess up Goku of all characters.

If Goku is that skinny I want Vegeta's forehead to be bigger.

I know that this is an issue that everytime before a Dragonall product is released a certain group likes to "yell at nimbus clouds" & has to either glaze/pick a side when it comes to dragonball & have to rep their side like its a gang no matter what. But Yall are grasping at straws tryna find anything wrong with this game to validate your bias agaist anythinng "new" this franchse releases. "Oh see Gokus neck size i told yall spike was terrible". "hey look gogetas elbows looks like a ps1 game" "wheres general dildo?" HUH??? Like what are you doing here folks??
