Unfortunately, if we're being realistic, they would probably not include any og DragonBall character other than Roshi and kid Goku, as much as it sucks, games don't care about og Dragon Ball.

I think the main reason Sparking Zero feels so unfinished is because of the large character roster, which resulted in a lack of stages, no modes, and gameplay that was nowhere near as tight as Tenkaichi 3's. In order for a potential Budokai 4 to avoid such issues, it needs to start with a smaller roster of 50 then work its way up through DLC.

Dragon ball Z(32):
Adult Z Goku (KK, SS1, SS2, SS3, SSG, SSB, Omen, MUI, Daima's SS4)

Raditz

Adult Krillin
Tien
Yamcha
Vegeta(Base, SS1,Super Vegeta, Majin, SS2, SS3)
Nappa
Capt. Ginyu
Recoome
Burter
Frieza (All forms including Mecha)
Zarbon(Base, Transformed state)
Dodoria
Future Trunks (SS1, Grade 3, SS2, Rage)
Android 19
Android 20
Android 18

Cell(Base, Second Form, Perfect Form, Super Perfect Form, Perfect Form Power Weighted)
Teen Gohan(SS1, SS2)

Super Boo(Piccolo Absorbed, Gotenks Absorbed, Gohan Absorbed)
Kid Boo(Base, South Supreme Kai Absorbed)
Goten (SS1)
Kid trunks (SS1)
Gotenks(SS1,SS3)
Dabura
Vegito(SS1, SS2, SSB)

Daima(9):

I like this list. I would add Broly (DBS) too. Also, Trunks, Goten, Gohan (and their possessed versions), Uub and Pan from DBGT are a must have for me. "What if" characters are welcome too.

I was thinking of including the What-Ifs from B2 and maybe some characters from Tomiyama's other manga's like Dr.Slump or NekoMajin.

Yea the original Dragonball has been severely underrepresented in modern DB games :(
