-The Babidi stages, Zun planet and Dabura's planet.

-A Namek stage that is midway between the tranquil planet where most of the arc happens and the lava-abundant planet where Goku quit.

- Piccolo Daimao's Palace

- Beerus' planet

- Vegeta vs 18's Highway

- The amusement park from GT where SS4 Goku was hanging from a spike.

- Some night stage like where Goku and Slug fought.

- Capsule Corp (BoG/Goku Black)

- Ice stage where Freeza landed in the Broly movie.

Infinite Zamasu and Earth's Hell would work well as new stages not yet covered in a DB fighting game.

This is pretty random, but Babidi and Evil Buu have been confirmed in the latest Saikyo Jump:

Am I the only one who wants Buff Buu? I think I might be the only Buff Buu stan in the world.

He probably won't be included, not even as a DLC in a few years when they are out of ideas as to what else to sell us.

Are you talking about when he absorbed the South Supreme Kai or we talking about the Filler in DBS with Fat Buu becoming Thin?

The South Kai-absorbed Buu. The one that looks like Xherdan Shaqiri and fought Shin and the Dai Kaioshin.
He shouldn't be that overlooked, he's the first ever fused Buu.

We've seen 139/164 characters so far, and I feel like it's getting easier to predict what the rest of the roster is gonna be:

-Remaining Boo arc characters from Sparking Meteor: Kaioshin + fused Kaioshin

-Remaining pre-Z characters from Sparking Meteor: kid Goku + great ape, Chichi, Namu, Ha-chan, General Blue, Taopaipai + cyborg, Akkuman, Grandpa Gohan, Tambourine, Piccolo Daimao, Pilaf solo, Pilaf trio, Arale

-Notably absent Super characters: Frost (3 forms), Botamo, Magetta, Cabba + SSj

-Jaco

This would add up to 164. And then the Z movies and GT will most likely be DLC, plus whatever else they decide to throw in.

True, but we haven't seen that version of Buu do much to warrant an entire moveset. We see a glimpse of him in the manga, and a snippet of him running in the anime. Not much to work with.

If anything, maybe Buff Buu can be an alternate costume for Super Buu.

- Glacier stage. I'm surprised we don't have this one confirmed so far. It was in Tenkaichi and Raging Blast. Now after DBS Broly should be a given.

- Beerus planet. Never understood why this one never makes it, considering that's where Goku and Vegeta spend most time training in DBS.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

That's... 100% true. We definitely still see some characters with generic moves.

If I remember correctly, didn't he do some sort of raging tackle on one of the other Kais? That could be a Blast 2.

Yeah the tackle could be part of the rush. Then he fires a pink ki blast from off screen.

A modern DB game without Z Broly is kinda odd imo.

I’d say it’ll work best for Kid Boo either as a stat boost or a cameo via a rush attack.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

These days for sure. Thought him and Z Bardock were the standard since Budokai 3. Z Bardock is confirmed at least.

Actually that's probably better. I wish we did get to see what other attributes he absorbed from that Kai.

Yep. Having to pay extra $ for Z Broly will feel sickening...
