I wouldn't care if I had to type 'select_chara GOKSS' to pick characters. Just so long as the UI loads fast, I don't care what it looks like.

If they add Vegetto or SSJ4s… I feel in some point we'll be teams of 3 diffirent versions of Goku. Currently, 2. I'm not a fan of this.

Yamcha and Tenshinhan both look great but Yamcha looks especially great. Finally someone is using him right.

It's great to see Yamcha as the fantastic fighter he was from Dragonball through the Buu arc.

It almost reminds me of Toei's Yamcha, who they made more competent than the manga and gave him extra fights in the anime to make him look good.

I'm OK with Goku Black and Bardock though. Because they are separate entities. But Goku SSJ and Goku SSJB aren't.

You couldn't have pick better GIFs than those! :clap: A game without Bardock and probably Goku Black is "meh". Hopefully they appear here.

In Bardock's case, he's been in every Dragon Ball console game since Budokai 3 with the exception of Super Dragon Ball Z, so I'd say he has a solid chance of being in this one.

I'm more curious as to whether or not #21 is going to be a playable character, or if she's going to be a non-combative villain.

Do you mean, she is only for story-mode cutscenes?
Yeah, I want her playable. I'm not OK, how they treated Ariels. She's main villain of story made of GGXrd Rev. and she is not character in fact of the actual game. The problem with Ariels that the game has no real final boss.

SSj and SSjB Goku should be different characters, its like choosing Sol and Order-Sol back in Guilty Gear, or Jin & Devil Jin in Tekken. Btw, any word on who 21's seiyu is? Here's voice if ppl haven't heard it yet https://twitter.com/GovetaXV/status/911509461038010369

It is a tag-team game. I don't know how in Tekken Tag, I used to KoF system. It does not allow to choose 2 different versions of a same person to a team. You cannot have in a team Takuma and Mr.Karate, for example. Or Iori and Orochi Iori, for example. Guilty Gear AC+R is a 1vs1 game. So, it does not count. And Sol and Order-Sol are different entities story-wise (kinda like Trunks and Future Trunks). More interesting example is BlazBlue, but still it is also a 1vs1 game.

The base model is the same thought and in Dragonball`s case the one major difference most of the time is hair color, not even features.

Make one character slot for Goku and either access the transformations by picking it up from that one slot`s window or play the base character and as as he/she transforms via corresponding inputs + energy bar, you have new gains and loses in moveset and/or flat out different Supers and Finishers. Having a Dragonball game with 3 character slots for 3 Goku is just too much. Sometimes there`s something like catering too much to the whims of the audience. It doesn`t add value to the game.

This is not directed to Bardock and Black, since while Goku clones, are their own characters.

Just my two cents, of course.

That's not true for every KoF.

I would also say Broly has a chance. He was in Attack of the Saiyans when he was not even supposed to be.

My question is will Bandai Namco push Towa w/ Mira as DLC, perhaps?


If Raditz makes it in, consider this game bought and sold in my book.

If they keep the pattern of announcing 2 new characters each month until January inclusive, then there are still 8 more coming at least.

Heres my wish list:

Heroes - Roshi, SSJ3 Gotenks, Ultimate Gohan, SSB Vegetto
Villains/Antagonists - Broly, Beerus, Hit, SSR Black (+ Zamasu as assist)
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Let's be honest, SSjBlue is only in this game cause Shueisha or whoever want them there to promote Super, and ArcSys know the regular Super Saiyan forms are too iconic to be left out. On the other hand based on their gameplay trailer they seem to play differently, this seems like a Captain Falcon/Ganondorf or Link/Toon Link situation.

I'm actually curious about the story. It's modern Super time (BlackA/ToP) but 18 is wearing her Cell arc outfit. Plus what about characters like ssj2 Gohan and Cell? Flashbacks seem more likely than time travel..

In Tekken Tag 2, you could use both Jin and Devil Jin on the same team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPWPtcDv6Ek

It's fine as long as they play different, which is what appears to be the case so far for not only Goku, but Vegeta as well.

Its also like NintendoBlaze53 says too, its ok for fighting games to sometimes have clones and/or 2 of the same character. I'm personally all the more for it to separate Z and Super as much as possible (given my dislike of Super :lol: :lol:)

But you can have Kyo-1, Kyo-2 and Kyo Kusanagi on the same team in KOF '99.
