I don't have to have the DLC, but that's like saying I don't have to have the game either :|. It's a part of the game, so why can't we complain about it?
Because it's not a necessary part of the game. You don't have to pre-order the game from day 1, and even if you want to, you don't have to download the costume. You don't like it? Ignore it and move on. It doesn't have any negative effect on the game, and it's not a necessary part of it. It's a plus for those who like it, it's nothing for those who don't like it.
This man speaks the truth.

Seriously, nobody's forcing you to buy it. It adds nothing in terms of experience to the gameplay or decreases it in anyway.
Is it possible to watch DBZ with epilepsy?

It changes Goku's moveset, giving him Naruto-style moves.

His attacks look like Naruto attacks just like how Naruto(In Goku DLC) attacks looks like Goku attacks

Naruto's regular combos stayed the same, but instead of the Rasengan he used the Kamehameha.

Well, it was still the Rasengan, he just thrust it at the opponent in the Kamehameha firing hand pose.

Well, which attacks? The only Goku thing that Naruto did was doing the Rasengan like a Kamehameha.

I hope the rasengan kamehameha won't affect gameplay. Rasengan is a close-range tactic, not long range. Kamehameha is a long range attack. Look at this, it looks like Goku is in kamehameha firing pose while doing rasengan. Doesn't that mean he will have to be close making the attack virtually useless? I dunno.

Yeah man have you seen Toriyama's new style? It's more rounded and strange. I don't necessarily like it but I guess some things change. The hair is different, Goku is skinnier, more round boots, more round eyes, and face/ facial expression is just....new? I don't like it at all but it's Toriyama's call. Art styles change but it's changed SO MUCH. Shading style is different AND is that lightning on a super saiyan? That is not super saiyan 2 Goku hair sp he shouldn't have a lightning aura...

The only things we know so far is that Goku runs like a Kishimoto shinobi, and apparently makes hand seals when using a kiai.

Nah man that looks like a rasengan. There is no beam that follows it. It's just a ball. This is what a normal kamehameha looks like in the game. It's even from the same exact angle as the first pic. That's a rasengan Goku's doing. I'm convinced. Image

Wow how cool. I'm not even a fan of Naruto but that outfit looks cool on Goku and I like how they incorporated things from Naruto into it aside from just the outfit itself. Very cool effect. Thanks for posting.

I like the costume, it doesn't bother me. I figure they're just doing that since the last game had Naruto with a Goku costume. It would be cooler if they guest stared in each others' games. Didn't the Naruto games actually have guest characters though for the past few?

Lars from Tekken was in the Storm games, I think.

Just Lars from Tekken 6 due to Kishimoto designing a unique costume for him (the one he used in Ninja Storm 2). I always wanted Kid Goku or Edward Elric to guest star.

It would've had to be someone from another Namco Bandai (Lars) or Jump property. Kid Goku would've been fair game, but Ed Elric (or anyone from FMA) would not.

Thats a Kamehameha. It has the same lighting/glow as Gohans, and they're doing the same pose. Plus, a rasengan has a ton of swirls within it.

It looks like a Kamehameha that exploded in close range, but we will see.
