List of actual fighters which would do a better job to fill the roster than Chaozu, Yamucha or Mr. Satan:
. Ozotto
. Super Saiyan Bardock
. Tarble (give him a decent ultimate this time not a shitty iPod)
. Hatchiyack
. Froze
. Piccolo Daimao
. Taopaipai
. Super Garlic Junior
. Tullece
. Spopovitch
. Baby Vegeta
Baby vegeta will most likely be in (we have super 17 and li shenron, I don't think they will leave out baby)
About Jiaozi:

Anime name Chiaotzu
Manga name Chaozu

I can't believe there are people who want Chiaotzu, Guldo, AND Mr Satan to be playable in games. Though Mr Satan was beast in the Budokai series.

Chaozu? Don't really care, but I'm interested how Dimps are going to handle him.
Guldo? Not that I care about him, but a full Ginyu Tokusentai roster is always fun.
Mr. Satan? WELCOME BACK, Destroyer of Cell. Be Dimps kind to you and won't nerf your incredible brokenness to bottom tier.

What's wrong with Mr. Satan being in DragonBall fighting games anyway? I think depending on developer and execution they might do an interesting interpretation of him. Sparking! interpretation of Mr. Satan was true to the series, but it was pretty boring and unbalanced...

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

And that's why nobody plays as him. Heck, the reason why I'm so-so on the roster(incomplete or not) right now is because they have the nerve to put him, Guldo, Chiaotzu, Giru and all the other minor characters 85% of the fanbase never gave a shit about instead of adding worthy ones like 16, 19, Uub, Dabura, Gogeta. I know the roster isn't complete yet, but if it's true, then I'm disappointed.

But if Dimps have some creativity to make the minor character's abilities interesting, then I'll let it slide.

First I need someone to translate Freeza's name from this very early footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwU0nVCmtXs

Vegeta vs Radditz NY Comic Con
Yamcha vs Tenshinhan NY Comic Con
Female Majin Time Patrol Warrior/Range vs Female Saiyan Time Patrol Warrior/Ranger NY Comic Con
Namekian Time Patrol Warrior/Ranger vs Radditz NY Comic con

Things to note:
-Maximum Charge and Full Power Charge are confirmed to be improved versions of Energy Charge
-Time Patrol RANGERS? What are we, a Power Rangers Time Force ripoff? Well it makes sense, considering that we have access to the Ginyu Tokusentai Poses :lol:
-Female Majin Attacks animation are so damn nice. Also it seems, that her Backattack-Cancel has a long range.
-Evil Flight Strike is this Swirly Arm Thingy move?
-Yamcha's Fake Death move has an attack, if he gets up. Well, it's more like his springup animation is the attack.
-Ki charge during Super Saiyan transformation
-Black Saiyans are possible
Heck yeah, the black saiyan news is excellent! Nice to know my saiyan character can be somewhat accurately represented :D

Chaozu always been useless since day one. He was a background character that did nothing but get killed off. He died from Piccolo Daimo and blew himself up. He did nothing special at all and I don't care if he got cut out of the game.

60 playable character's + greate character creation option with 5 diffrent races is absolutly enough.

I dont see why you are complaining.

I would rather have tenkaich 3 with half of the character roster instead a CC option like xenoverse tbh.
Character roster didnt stopped budokai 3 from being a good game.

Don't tell me you got that from Dragon Ball Wiki because it's innacurate as in the original Japanese audio you don't hear them say "Chiaotzu" it's actually Chaozu. I think "Jiaozi" is the Chinese version which might be the origins of this Pokémon.

Watching the video from Comic con it seems that as long as you maintain the yellow bar ki, you will not revert into normal state.

The last time I check, I never see people called "Chaozu" as Jiaozi and I've been apart of Dragon Ball web forums, and chat rooms for 13 years. Just say Chaozu or Chiaotzu to avoid confusion. I stick with official English names unless stated other wises.

They should add Jiaozi (it was the same height more or less in first series) and kid krillin as well.
Jiaozi coule be (as it is) for both DB and DBZ series :)

I'm 50/50 with the roster. On one side, yeah I'd like a larger roster simply because of teacher possibility equaling more moves to learn for my custom characters. On the other half, the current roster is fine because it will mean everyone will have a varied and diverse moveset instead of turning into the clone fest that was BT3.

Something just hit me. So when one is a Super Saiyan and Ultimate attacks cost... nothing... wouldn't someone just abuse that to death? I see regular Supers cost Ki (if I'm not mistaken), but Ultimates don't, I really think it should be the other way around.

I saw that too, I think it's just a "beta" thing, I hope it won't be like that in final game, otherwise it would be very unbalanced for other races...

I could give you most of those I suppose (though who the heck is Froze?), but...Tarble didn't even fight. Like, at all. So how is he any more valid than Chaozu, Yamcha, or Mr. Satan, all three of whom did fight in the series?

I'm not a super huge fan of Chaozu or Yamcha, but this distaste that so many have for them is really starting to grate on me. Well, mostly for Yamcha I guess, since there's really not much I can defend Chaozu for other than deserving to be there more-so than some other characters listed...but Yamcha? The guy who has been there since almost the very beginning of the series and has been involved in tons of the fights, less deserving than some of the one-off villains? I dunno when this 'lolz all he does is lose' attitude towards the character started to become the norm, but I really wish it hadn't.
