"Dragon Ball FighterZ" Official Discussion Thread

[Nickolaidas]

I can always count on ArcSys to turn characters "I have no interest in" into "can't wait to play as them".

Broly looks amazing. And I don't even like the guy.

But damn, I want to see which Cooler they'll put in. (keeps fingers crossed for 5th)

[BrolyKale]

Excited for Bardock! He looks beast in these images.

Omg! Two cool characters! I'm hyped!!

[emperior]

Bardock looks fucking awesome. I think I will buy him and make him my main if he uses the moves he used in the TV special and has a brutal fighting style.

Broly was obvious.
Bardock is disappointing. Another Goku look alike, but unlike SSR Back he doesn't have an unique moveset to back him up. At least they were smart and went his is base Form.

As expected both look gorgeous though. Arc System Works is just on a level of their own.

[Grimlock]

Next V-Jump issue will reveal the release date of the DLC.

[Bullza]

Predictable and boring choices for DLC up to yet.

[Nickolaidas]

Next V-Jump issue will reveal the release date of the DLC.

Which means that the *first* DLC is landing during 18th March to 16th of April. I hope the other DLC chars won't take this long.

[Grimlock]

V-Jump is always released on the 21st (with some exceptions), so the DLC is going to be released after the V-Jump release, not before.

Well okay, 22nd of March to 22nd of April, then.

Maybe for you. Some of us actually own the game and would love to finally play as these characters in a competitive fighter (for the first time might I add).

[KayDash]

But damn, I want to see which Cooler they'll put in. (keeps fingers crossed for 5th)

I think there's a reason they didn't named him Meta-Cooler. Also, I think ArcSys would want to differentiate him as much as possible from Freeza, and at his 5th form his body size would definitely make him differ a lot. He will probably have his henchman as support too, and his Supernova will likely have a short range blast start-up like in the movie, and unlike Freeza.

About the newer reveals, they are both pretty much what I expected. Bardock is the juiced up version of his Extreme Butoden self with an SSJ transformation super.

Finally play as them...because they aren't in every other Dragon Ball game that has been made unlike a whole bunch of characters from Super who have never been in a game at all.

So now there's Super Saiyan Goku. Super Saiyan Blue Goku, Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black, Bardock and possibly a Base Goku.

Creative choices.

You are not very good at reading.

[kn83]

They should have seriously made SSB an in game transfromation for Goku and Vegeta like Golden Frieza, instead completely separate characters. Those 2 extra spots could have used for Broly and Bardock in the launch roster.

[Cetra]

Broly - Looks like Mr. Mignogna has to oil his vocal chords once again to kill everyone else with his performance.

Two of those characters you mentioned ARE from Super. Not to mention, Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black plays completely different from SSJ/Blue Goku, so much so that it they can't be compared in any way besides the shape of the hair. But of course you would know that if you actually owned the game.

Your whining about Super characters who have never been in a game is a moot point. There has never been a "true" Dbz fighter and people have been waiting decades for a game like this, and NO characters from Dbz OR Super have ever been available on an engine as deep or complex as the one in FighterZ. The fact that you have come into this thread and contributing nothing but throwing shade on what is (not even debatable) the BEST game under the franchise, without even OWNING IT is beyond stupid.

[Grimlock]

Bardock surely isn't. He debuted in 1990, but only came into the video-games in 2004, that's a huge gap.

what is (not even debatable) the BEST game under the franchise.

With Dragon Ball Online's sovereignty (even Xenoverse bows to it), that makes impossible for this game to be the best of the franchise.

[Bullza]

No, Super Saiyan Blue Goku is from Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F.

Not to mention, Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black plays completely different from SSJ/Blue Goku, so much so that it they can't be compared in any way besides the shape of the hair. But of course you would know that if you actually owned the game.

That's irrelevant. It's another character who likes like Goku. I'm a game that doesn't have that many characters anyway we have two (maybe even three eventually) versions of Goku and then two other characters who look exactly like Goku.

In a series as diverse with characters as Dragon Ball were gonna end up with five characters that all look the same.

Your whining about Super characters who have never been in a game is a moot point. There has never been a "true" Dbz fighter and people have been waiting decades for a game like this, and NO characters from Dbz OR Super have ever been available on an engine as deep or complex as the one in FighterZ.

Again not really relevant. Regardless of how good or bad it is, there is a vast amount of characters to choose from. New characters that have never been in a game and have never been playable before.

So instead of getting say Toppo or Dyspo, they instead give us a tremendously and predictable choice of Bardock who is a boring Goku look a like and then Broly because they always have to shoehorn Broly into something.

[KayDash]

They should have seriously made SSB an in game transfromation for Goku and Vegeta like Golden Frieza, instead completely separate characters. Those 2 extra spots could have used for Broly and Bardock in the launch roster.

1.) No because they wanted SSJ Goku/Vegeta as characters which ones are easy to pick up for new players. If they have SSB installs with a heavily-altered movesets, then that's everything but easy.
2.) They are not taking spots of other characters. I explained it a few times already, so I'll try to keep it short this time: They couldn't add even one new character with the work that went into the SSB versions, they are just extras. They can't edit Brolly and Bardock out of SSJ Goku and Vegeta, that's not how it works.
