So, this is how the character situation looks right now:

Here we have your basic character roster, based off the stream today:
01. Trunks (Future)
02. Trunks (Kid)
03. Son Goku -- Base, SS, SS2, SS3
04. Son Goku (Super Saiyan God)
05. Son Goten (Kid) -- Base, SS
06. Son Gohan (Kid)
07. Son Gohan (Preteen) -- SS, SS2
08. Son Gohan (Teen) -- Base, Ultimate
09. Piccolo
10. Kuririn
11. Yamcha
12. Tenshinhan
13. Raditz
14. Saibaiman
15. Vegeta -- Base, SS, SS2
16. Nappa
17. Appule
18. Ginyu
19. Reacoom
20. Raspberi/Larsberi
21. Jheese
22. Butta
23. Ghurd
24. Freeza (1st Form)
25. Freeza (True Form)
26. Freeza (100% Power)
27. Cell (Perfect)
28. Cell (Super Perfect)
29. Cell Junior
30. #17
31. #18
32. Gotenks
33. Buu (Innocent)
34. Buu (Evil)
35. Buu (Pure)
36. Mr. Satan
37. Videl
38. Vegetto
39. Beerus
40. Whis
41. Bardock

These are characters that are shown to be in the game so far, but not on that roster:
42. Son Goku (Super Saiyan 4)
43. Gogeta (Super Saiyan 4)
44. Super #17
45. Super Yi Xing Long
46. Broli (Legendary Super Saiyan).

We also don't know what is going on with these characters. They could be costumes that alter character names or something:
47. Time Patrol Trunks
48. Great Saiyaman 1
49. Great Saiyaman 2

Currently unknown if these characters are playable at all:
50. Towa
51. Mira
52. Demigra
53. Demigra (Transformed)

These characters appear to only be playable in certain missions as of the recent trailer, or at least that's how they have made it sound:
54. "Fiendish" Freeza (100% Power)
55. "Fiendish" Cell (Super Perfect?)
56. "Fiendish" Buu (Pure)

And then we have DLC characters:
57. SS4 Vegeta
58. Jaco
59. Son Goku (GT)
60. Trunks (GT)
61. Pan (GT)

I meant other world tournament sorry*

Just got back from a roster vid. People are up in arms saying it's UT 2.0 etc etc.

[Saiga]

That's weird, I thought when Goten and Trunks were confirmed the number of confirmed characters was 48. But here it's 46...

[EA575]

I just love how some fans think character roster is the only important thing in a Dragon Ball game...

For my list that I've been keeping, their confirmation made it 47 (same as the guidebook description). But now Time Patrol Trunks has gotten the boot...despite the recent trailer listing his health bar name as "Trunks" and the traditonal Future Trunks as "Trunks (Future)".

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

I think the only thing that's bugging me about this character roster is that we might not be seeing Cell's imperfect forms. I haven't seen his other forms anywhere.

While some characters could be merged under the same select panel(?), it is not that bad at all. Plus with BT3 you had stupid stuff like Goku: early, mid, End and so forth so its roster was artificially bloated.

Because they aren't in. Same for Freeza's 2nd and 3rd forms or Buu's absorptions.

[Chuquita]

So that one Freeza code from a while back (was it frg? frgd? Don't remember. ' _ ' ; ) didn't have anything to do with a spoilery new form or anything?
Is that code for Frog Ginyu after all?

It could. They wouldn't be showing that off yet though in an official stream. If we are getting Freeza's new form, it will obviously be as DLC after the movie releases.

Dang, ah well. Game still looks awesome.

Understood. I don't know why I thought it would be in the game right off. Not fully used to the DLC-later stuff yet I guess. ^^;

The Budokai Tenkaichi series really screwed up the whole fandom with its bloated character roster. Roster count wasn't a concern at all until Spike came in.
I'm glad there are variations to the characters, though. I even saw Yamcha with a 2nd alternate slot.

I disagree. I had qualms with the roster even in the DIMPS Budokai days. No 19 on B2 and 3, no entire Ginew Force, etc. ...

[TheDevilsCorpse]

The leaked Super Saiyan God Goku from back during the ride to Battle of Gods' release didn't look all that different from base Goku. It could have easily been played off as promo material of Goku powering up. Depending on how obvious the changes might be for Freeza though, I could just imagine how pissed the people in charge of the movie and its marketing would be at the game people for just nonchalantly being like "Oh yeah, here's God Freeza from the new movie that's still moths from release". xD

[Saiga]

A lot of people thought it'd be in the base game, before we found out there would be DLC. It'd be a spoiler for the movie but I'm pretty sure Super Saiyan God was revealed before Battle of Gods aired anyway.

But now it's definitely going to be separate DLC for any content for the new movie, going off recent reveals.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

By the way, weren't Si Xing Long and San Xing Long also in the data mine, or did I read it wrong? Don't forget about Super Oozaru Vegeta-Baby too. He was shown in the trailer too. I assume that since he was shown in the trailer, base Baby must also be in the data mine?

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Yes, DLC perhaps.

[Saimaroimaru]

I wonder if Android is going to be a dlc race seeing as DB Heroes had them. Yes I know Xeno is being made with DBO assets but still.
