I'm with Thanos on this one, I'm happy they've kept quiet for a while. It is inevitable that we'll know the whole roster before release, and we still have two months to go. I won't complain about the lull in news. We have around 10 characters left to be revealed, about 20 that need "offical" in game model confirmation, right? I say let them drag it out.

Maybe not just sprawl all the new characters out on the scans but give us SOMETHING. We know nothing at all about the game modes besides theres a maybe/maybe not dubbed newly animated movie when you turn the game on.

Hm, a question of speculation here...

Regarding the remaining five "never-before-seen" characters, does anybody think that Namco will pull off a "Tekken/Naruto" and include one or two of their own characters from their respective franchises into RB2? How likely is it, you think?

I mean, it would make sense if this is the reason (or one of them) why they're holding back info on the five remaining characters...

Just throwing this out here.

NO! THEY'RE GONNA PUT IN DUKE NUKEM AND HE'LL BE THE MOST POWERFUL CHARACTER IN THE GAME!

I really think it's going to be more henchmen or the JUMP special characters. There aren't too many more Z characters they left out in games before. Theres the Kami of Earth and characters from filler, but thats the biggest main character I can think of since giants aren't in the game.

They better not bust out with Ghost Turles/Frieza/Cooler/Slug. That would be the cheapest move since having 'Frieza soldier' as a character.

Not sure how they could add the two Jump villian without having their fused form, BUT that's a giant so we cant have him. That sort of cancels out my first idea though.

The lack of news around this thread does seem strange.

My guess is still that Table's going to be one of the new playable characters, along with Abo, Cado, and their fused form.

I think that it would be a bit hard to implement, since most fighting game/anime characters can't fly and shoot big energy blasts like Dragon Ball characters can.

I see absolutely no reason for this to happen....ever. The only reason Lars was included in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 was because Kishimoto was the one who designed his alternate costume in Tekken 6. Has Toriyama even done any work with Namco Bandai outside the DB franchise?

Unless they were relatively unknown characters that recieved character/ability redesigns in order to fit in and get more well-known in the process, that is.

But I can see how unlikely it is as well. Hm.

Well, like I said, I was just throwing this out here. *shrug*

That's a great idea.
I want Ichigo or Ulquiorra in my RB. Just to make it a little more worth the buy.
They can fly.
They can shoot ki-like blasts.
They can transform.

Probably crosses him out... and he's not really deserving of appearing as anything but alternate costume

Neither are a lot of the characters that have been playable in these games.

Touché. However, Raging Blast has actually been pretty good at only keeping in relevant characters... And (maybe-Legendary) Super Saiyan 3 Broly.

Tenkaichi 3 was horrible though. I am quite hypocritical about the whole 'Frieza Soldier' abomination as I did actually suggest it way back in the day. I stick by what I said back then though, it's an idea that has potential. For instance I would love to see 'Saiyan Warrior' and just give it several attacks, a lot of alternatives and the same generic Ozaru form. I don't know, something about the idea just appeals to me, especially if these three are alternatives (or just the two on the left) [link] because they just look so badass.

There were PLENTY of actual characters they could have added over the Frieza soldier, but Japan LOVES the Frieza saga thats why like EVERY fighter on that planet for a slot besides "Random Namekian warrior"[aside from Nail]. Kuriza HAS had a spot in a game before, but I thought I would bring him up.
