In due time my friend, we got all the Kamikaze Fireballs it is only a matter of time until we get our glorious Trio de Danger. Although when I saw "sword vs fist" I was coping hard for Janemba and Tapion to be revealed.

64 spots left, right?

I'm not sure how many obvious choices haven't been "revealed" yet, but I think the main GT, DB and Z movie characters will be included.

I criticized the gameplay/balance not so much the graphics like a lot people. The thing about the graphics i criticized were the intital ones in those 1st couple of trailers which i can say were not a great show of what the game looks like & also going against people who said this looks like arcsys level work which it does not. Keep in mind I'm not pro Sparking because as a arena fighter Gundam EXVS2 obliterates it completely.

Meh, a nothing burger trailer, I expected Aniraza, so I kinda laughed when I saw him show up. The only interesting thing I saw which I know is mostly trailer transition magic but Spopovich looked like he was dodging Yajirobes trailer and countered into his own, same with UI Sign Goku against Zamasu. I won’t put too much stock into that though.

Yajirobe is a nice surprise, but I can't say I am expecting the other trio de dangers unfortunately, as much as it would be nice to have them to round out the ToP and the small tournament before hand.

The only “Super” shoe -ins that are left are Cabba (Base,SS&SS2), Frost (True Form), Toppo( Base& GoD), Dyspo and maybe Champa. Anybody else outside of them is definitely just getting the “everyone is here” treatment for DBSuper.

So counting the more than likely Super additions to the roster that still leaves plenty of room for Movies and GT.

Toppo and Dyspo have already been confirmed a LONG time ago.

Though with Yajirobe confirmed, it does make me wonder... how many OG characters will be in the game? We got Roshi, we got Yajirobe, Kid Goku was leaked, and General Blue was hinted at by Sony Strait.

Yajirobe was kind of crucial in the Great Ape Vegeta fight

Also Yajirobe is part of the Future Resistance, maybe we'll see a What if Story Mode for Future Trunks where he, Future Yajirobe and Future Mai (she could be playable) manage to beat Goku Black without needing to go back in time

Judging by the trailer roster, there's 64 empty slots left, but it doesn't include some of the characters revealed in the last trailer or the demo (Dr. Gero, DBZ 17, Base Melee Trunks, SS2 Teen Gohan, Semiperfect Cell, SS Adult Gohan, Great Saiyaman), so the real number of slots left is 57 I think.

57 characters left to guess...

Pretty bold of you to assume Z Frieza and his four forms won't make the roster.

A decent spread, but a few caveats: you have Botamo listed twice, and I'd probably merge Saonel & Pirina as a duo character, kinda like Spopovich & Yamu was in BT3. I really don't see the rest of Universe 11 making it into the base roster, and I don't even think Sorbet is going to make it at all, considering all he did was shoot a laser, he could easily be a custom move for Frieza. Also, you listed Kid Goku, but forgot his Oozaru form. Same for SS3 GT Goku. In fact, I'd probably hold off Baby for DLC, and replace those slots for GT Vegeta (Base, SS) and SS4 Gogeta. Also, I have a gut feeling they'll probably make Tagoma a costume for Ginyu.

Also, as Nick pointed out, you did forget DBZ Frieza (1st, 2nd, 3rd, Final, Full Power), as well as Imperfect and Super Perfect Cell.

Z Bardock being in gives me a little hope but I can see Cooler, Z Broly and Gt being Dlc. No one wouldn't buy that Dlc pack so it makes sense money wise to offer those characters as dlc.

Lmao at random ToP fodder being in base game but not Ginyu, Imperfect Cell, any of the Z Freeza forms or Janemba. No chance Sorbet, the other pride troopers and Obni are in. The others I could maybe see dlc

I didn't included them because I thought they were already in the game. I would need to redo my list again.

Also, while not pictured here, I do believe a few characters were leaked...

Of course not, that's just what's usually shown off at the end of each trailer. I'm sure the actual roster will have actual renders, and we know they have character renders because of all the pre-order stuff has renders of various characters.
