Ohh, okay, him. I'd put him in the 'why would this be better than having Yamcha' pile too then, especially since he's already pretty much covered by having the Freeza race as a Created Character option.

I definitely agree about Yamcha, he's an important character to almost all of the series and I love his look and especially his early Dragon Ball costume and I love the Wolf Fang Fist. He's necessary if you ask me. Chaouzu isn't as necessary but I actually did like playing as him in Tenkaichi 3. Also if they're gonna have the other four Ginyu members Guldo should be there as well. And his powers could actually be pretty cool if they got creative with him. I never really liked 19 as a character but if Dr. Gero is in 19 should be too. However I believe that this game is far from finished so I'm not really putting too much on this roster. To be honest I don't even know where it came from.

I'd disagree with some but I definitely would like to see most of those characters before Yamcha. Pretty much any of the movie/special villains would be better choices than Yamcha, having way better designs and being better fighters.

Right now, I think the biggest omission is Dabra and (possibly, don't know the details yet) Ultimate Gohan.

There's no Dabra? Dang, all these little things are gonna add up for me.

I agree on Dabra taking priority over Yamcha. Pretty much every character should take priority over him. He only has one unique ki attack and no interesting fights. Dabra should also take priority over many other characters who are going to be included in this game.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Well, there still might be, but he definitely hasn't appeared anywhere yet. But I think Raging Blast was the only console game that covered the Boo arc without including him, so I would expect he'd be there unless the leaked roster was absolutely final.

Sergio said the roster was missing a lot of characters.

I think that's mostly speculation on his part, as the actual roster was. The only thing that's 100% confirmed right now is the abbreviations he's found.

Black Saiyans
So if a Black Saiyan fused with a White Saiyan would we end up with a Mulatto Saiyan?

Yamucha has two interesting benefits to him: 1) He has that shiny smile and then dies afterwards. :P Okay the Sokidan's a pretty cool ultimate but other than that, he's not really worth including in the roster. Make him an NPC which you have him join you in the story mode as well as other parts he's featured on the story.

This is a fighting game, If there's a character that helps me in the Story mode, that clearly has a moveset but I'm not able to play as him, I would be pretty mad. Instead of you guys complaining that Yamcha should be swapped off with Dabra or something, why don't you complain that they're not BOTH in the roster, you know like B3/T2/3/RB2 managed to do? Why aren't you guys complaining that Jaco the Patrollman seems to be in the roster but characters like Zarbon and Dodoria who were in the series proper aren't? DIMPS seems to have made some questionable choices with this game, but adding Yamcha is not one of them.

So today Nick from PR told me my interview is at 1:00 with the American Producer (whatever that means) for Xenoverse.

Meantime I interviewed the voice actors for Goku and Vegeta and asked them a couple of video game questions and one Xenoverse question.

I noticed in past interviews they didn't say much so if you can sneak in a gun that will be a big help.

Means that you won't get any new info. And that, if he says anything we haven't heard before, he'll have been talking out of his ass.

If you get there and it's Jason Enos, you might as well turn around and walk away.

Many references to Super Elites and Galactic Patrol in the mined data from Sergio.

Speaking of this. With the apparent lack of other Dragon Ball Era characters, it make me wonder if we might not be getting the traditional Kid Goku for the game. Maybe we're getting Jaco/DB- Kakarotto/Goku instead. Having Towa and Miira interfere with Goku's arrival could serve as the pre-DBZ Era quest for this game, similar to how we had the Goku's Arrival, Helping Gyumao search for Chi Chi, and Helping Chi Chi Search for Goku (23rd Budokai) quests in DBO.

Those two are goofballs. Really wish I went now, I remember meeting Sean in 2011, but Chris wasn't around (probably running late).

Schemmel doesn't seem like he's much into Dragon Ball other than for the purpose of voice acting, but I don't blame him after all it's his job so it's understandable that he keeps it at a professional level. Heck, no one likes to bring stuff about work back home (maybe some).

I want to say this is highly questionable. A Playable Demo in December and a Feb. 24th 2015 Release date. Don't know if that's worldwide or for Japan, UK, US... well, I'll leave the speculating up to you guys.
