So since none of the Gokus have Meteor Combination, do you guys think it’s possible we see Teen Goku and Ma Junior?.

I think Z Broly sneaks in but it also makes since money wise to put him and Cooler in a dlc pack and they have super Broly in the game now to feed Broly fans.

There is a slot next to Piccolo available but I feel like it'll be King Piccolo

I wouldn't be against Teen Goku and Piccolo Jr though

I dunno about separate characters, but I could probably see them being alt pre-sets for Early Goku and Early Piccolo. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll make Giant Piccolo a separate form, so they might turn it into an ultimate, Ribrianne-style. Giant Orange Piccolo will definitely be DLC though, fingers crossed...

Is it known what the story is ranging from? Is it Raditz to Broly?

Yeah, they keep saying from the beginning of Z to the end of Super, though it's a bit suspicious how the story mode intro also has snippets of Kid Goku for some reason.

In addition to the most famous characters, I hope they also add characters never seen before to give a different identity to the game.
For me, what-if characters are always welcome.

Well does the end of Super mean Jiren, Broly or Cell Max?

If I remember corrrectly, they say up to the Tournament of Power, but considering Gogeta and Broly are unlockable characters, it wouldn't surprise me if the Broly movie is some sort of unlockable scenario.

I suppose it would be more climatic to finish with Jiren.

Are any Super Hero characters in the game?

Superhero (and Daima) is the first season of DLC. We know Gamma 1 & 2 are two of the first characters getting added, there's going to be 3 packs, over 20 characters total.

Thanks for flexing your illegal piracy muscles. Hey, if you don't like the product, just get it for free, right?

More on topic, I read that there are about 22 slots left. There is still a chance for Z Broly to be in and as he has a huge fan base I would be surprised not see him in the base game. FighterZ had him as DLC but they had a way smaller roster. With all the ToP jobbers in, there should not be an excuse not have Z Broly in.

Goku/Trunks arrive on Earth too late to stop Frieza from killing everyone
Raditzs wins his fight and him, Vegeta and Nappa go after the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Future Trunks and Great Saiyaman in the Tournament of Power.
Goku doesn't get the heart virus and fights Android 16.

Will it be that flexible that custom battle thing? certainly there will be rigid limitations, right?
Or will I be able to have Jiren help Goku and Vegeta when Broly arrives on Earth? or have Vegito/Gogeta fight Beerus in BoG or Freeza in RoF?

I hope the Cell arc haters follow through and choose to go ahead an destroy Gero's lab before the arc even begins. :lol:

A tournament mode video was posted. Several tournament types are available, including Other World, Yamcha Games, Tournament of Destroyers and Tournament of Power. Also a stealthy Kaioshin reveal.

Looks awesome!

The only thing I dislike is the 180 seconds time limit in world tournament mode, cell games etc... like what the heck?

Depends what you mean by flexible here. Like, for your example, you could have a fight that starts out with Vegeta fighting Broly, then have an event trigger Broly's transformation and a cutscene after you get his health down to a certain point, force you to switch out to Goku, and then have it that if you take too long (since one example of a custom battle with Beerus confirmed that you can have timed events that count if you've done a certain amount of damage) it triggers a cutscene where Jiren jumps in to help.

The biggest limitation for what-ifs is that you'll have to work around using only premade dialogue (with you being able to switch out names and such) and, I'm assuming, you can only have up to five playable characters in the fight.

Looking at the menu, what's that Challenge and Missions mode there? The main campaign and the custom battles are to the left.

Other World Tournament included in the Tournament mode... so that means we will get that stage and also Paikuhan, for sure. Or maybe just the stage. That tourney should include Olibu, Paikuhan, and the other weird-looking participants like Torby and Arqua(that fish guy), and the one that turned into a cocoon. However, I don't think we'll get those guys.

Thanks for the reply, seems it'll be much better than I was expecting.

I'll definitely try Goku helping Vegeta vs Recoome, or Vegeta helping Goku vs Ginyu.
