Definitely gonna be starting out with a male Saiyan called Rukura (pun on the the Portuguese spelling of arugula) and will try to make it look like me as much as possible

Ah, that's good!

[SSJ God Gogeta]

I just hope it's available for digital upgrade. I'm probably gonna get it for PS3, but would want it for PS4 further down the road.

Same

[Sshadow5001]

I've only seen bits and pieces of this game since its announcement but from that and the recent trailer I'm really excited for this game. I love Time Travel, Trunks is my favorite character, someone is screwing with history and your trying to fix it. Everything about this screens Awesome to me

Also a PC release I can't wait for the mods.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

So anybody thought of names for there characters?

Not yet I gotta find a good pun for my saiyan.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Need to think of a pun that works with Opuntia for my character's name.

Still haven't come up with names for a Namekian, Human, Majin or Freeza Clansman yet.

Is it sad that I've already been really thinking about this too? So far I've only come up with the Saiyan, Human, and and Freeza names though.

Saiyan: Gyt. Yeah, I'm cheaping out and using my evergreen name here. Think of it as his 'Earth' name ala Goku or something, with his Saiyan name being something else entirely.
Human: Kurito ('Kuri' for the Kuririn name pun connection of course). That's if I do opt for making this character male though, I'm really thinking about going with a female, for which this name doesn't sound as good...hmm...
Freeza: Frigid. Old, old, old, old, super-super-old name I had come up with for a Freeza related character for a fic that I (thank KAMI) never did.

Nerosoh-Switched around the letters for the Japanese word for Spinach.
Mizuna-Mustard plant
Kabu-Turnip
Okura-Okra

I kinda like Okura.

Yo, this game is one of the top trends of Yahoo...for now. https://www.yahoo.com/

So apparently not just fans that are keeping an eye on this game. The expectation is very high on Dimps which could put pressure on them.

This is very good and not just for dragon ball games but for all anime games cause if they deliver a quality game that not only sells but gets praised by critics and fans you'll see other anime get the same quality so lets hope the time and $$$ they're putting into this pays off.

Same here. Man, this shit is crazy. First the trailer, then the positive reviews of the beta, and now the game is one of the top trends of a VERY popular website. That says something!

Anyway, I know I've said this before, but they better put in the "cocky gangsta" voice from UT, as a matter in fact, bring in all of the voices from UT and then bring out some new ones.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

Says who? All I recall is someone somewhere briefly saying there are multiple teams in Dimps and was inferring that people shouldn't be worried that Dimps working on the Street Fighter games will affect our DB games. But I don't recall anyone explicitly saying that the Budokai/BL team are the ones working on SF.

That wasn’t straight up confirmed but the team split implies this, Budokai guys are working on a 2D game, the 3D Saint Seiya games are working on the 3D game. If that wasn’t the case there would be a lot more Budokai akin gameplay naturally implemented from the special effects, to character model style, to animations. Nothing in Xenoverse remotely resembles the Budokai games at all. Charging Blast 1s and 2 melee buttons were incorporated because they were specifically asked for by the hardcore fans. I dont see it plausible that Dimps would just ditch everything they know just because of a camera change. IW's 3D moments still used the Budokai physics.

This is something I'm liking about Xenoverse, I feel as though Xenoverse is going to offer something unique amongst the DB fighting games thus far. I mean even charging ki has to be equipped now.

I particularly like that. Some say it was just added so people won't complain from feature-withdrawal but whatever. Dimps was smart with this for their choice on it here. Rather than it just being inserted into the default basics for the tradition of the old games, its been made into a skill, a utility and an option. It doesnt break the original concept of gameplay (use what you earn) so that ki charging isnt a reliant or a crutch to scramble for who can spam the most super moves. Its better this way. You sacrifice a skill slot for it if you needed according to your play or you just go melee for ki.

I predict, that in this game when people will say "I can't wait to play as this character" or "He's my main", it's not going to be just because or to 'be that character', it's going to be because that character is awesome to play as. This is a sentiment I don't share with a lot of fans, people make character requests or hope SS3 Broly is in the game, but is it really exciting (in previous games) to play as said character? They're all so similar, what differentiates them? It's like the other month when I couldn't wait for my One Piece posters to arrive; and then they just got here sat on the wall and it wasn't exciting. A bit of a stretched analogy, but try to see what I mean. Do you want these extra characters just so that you have another square on the selection screen with slightly longer hair? Or because they actually have something new to offer?

I dont really care whos in the roster except characters I actually plan to use regularly, not for what-if forms that look cool (Unless they're original but even then, just fan service). Most people who do promote their roster lists though only care about who wasn’t in a game yet even if they were purposely left out of thought. More people should indeed consider what use a character has to a team rather than what they look like for their fanfic battles. Especially redundant Super Saiyan forms. I think all characters need some sort of special ability or perk to their fighting style first hand. Transformations do nothing.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Found a perfect saiyan name for my character.
Daikon (giant white radish)

While that's a pun for a Portuguese that's sorta misleading because the 'a' usually refers to female rather than males, but then again, "Rukuro" doesn't sound ideal so there's not much to go with.

[Doctor.]

My Saiyan name is going to be Zakuro, which means pomegranate according to Google translate.

Sucks that it's a fruit though. It's the best name I've gotten yet.

[Kamiccolo9]

I take back the Okura name I posted earlier. It's mine. None of you can have it.

[Super Saiyajin Luffy]

One of my Saiyans is going to be named Luffy. Reason? My name

[Quebaz]

While that's a pun for a Portuguese that's sorta misleading because the 'a' usually refers to female rather than males, but then again, "Rukuro" doesn't sound ideal so there's not much to go with.

Vegeta, Nappa, Yamcha, Freeza. He isn't treating "Rukura" as a portuguese name but as a DB name.

I'm actually lost if I were to name my Saiyan character a Saiyan name, so I'll probably just go with Quebaz, for Human, I'll probably stick to my real name or a feminine version of it depending on the genre and for the Majins I'll just name mine Buu Buu.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Can somebody help me with coming up for a Opuntia pun?

[omegalucas]

Furoca/Furauca, a pun on cauliflower.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

I'm definitely going to name my character Beet with the pun name stemmed from Japanese word 'biito'.

[Cold Skin]

Spoiler:

Did toriyama draw that?

Oh, it's only a reproduction of Toriyama's design from quickly editing pre-existing pictures of Future Trunks and Cell Game Gohan (shouldn't have blackened the pants though...)
The original by Toriyama himself can be seen on this picture, on the right side:

Spoiler:

Daikon (giant white radish)

I had named my third character Donkai based on that in Ultimate Tenkaichi, with Donkai being derived from "daikon", having the ending "kai" that is part of the name of a Dragon Ball series, and being almost like "donkey" (the 3rd character was the big-shaped one, so I figured it didn't go well with being smart, so... Must be a side effect of having seen Broly all those years).

[El Diabeetus]

My characters would be named, depending on which race I choose.-

Saiyan: Tapoto (anagram of Potato)
Namekian: Caracke (Schnecke - snail in German and Caracol - snail in Spanish)
Majin: Kazam (From Alakazam, not the Pokémon, but the magic term)
Freeza Race: Kibufu (Fubuki - Blizzard in Japanese spelling backwards, or as backwards as you could with kana).
Earthling: Frankie (My own name.)
