Do you want her to become canon in the mainline continuity? The videogame stories are never canon and are, "made up" so to speak.
Do you want her to be introduced in Super after this arc or sometime in the future?

We don't really know anything about her or even what her role in the games story is at this point in time. So my answer would have to be a no. She looks pretty cool though.

Not sure how they can handle her in the story. I feel like new cyborgs/androids is hard to do now since the idea is over done. How can they do it without rehashing Cell, Super #13 and Super 17? #13 in DBZ Movie 7 already rehash Cell with him being made by Gero's computer and can absorbing two other cyborgs to become stronger.

We know next to nothing about this character. This is really not the time to be wondering if she should be made cannon or not.

It is the perfect time exactly because whatever story she has in the games would likely conflict with Super. So she can be reimagined. For example I seriously doubt Android 16 will ever be rebuilt in canon like it is in the game story.

That makes this even more pointless. A character isn't just their appearance.

It's called "a blank slate" meaning anything can be done with the character. There are people speculating she's Dr. Gero's wife or daughter for example.

Then should we make a thread about the random NPCs of Conton City being made canon?

Mixed feelings.
I really love her design but I don't want DB FighterZ plot in the anime. The premise just don't seem interessant enough. If they could change some things around maybe, but I'm skeptical...
I consider the Red Ribbon Army arc easily one of the worst arcs of the franchise and Cell arc the worst of DBZ, so yeah I'm not really fan of RRA stuff.
Now if it was Towa/Mira and they would do something with the Demon Realm?! Absolutely! I've been waiting for them.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

From what I can tell of her story based on the FighterZ trailer, no, I don't want her in the anime. We've already had Goku Black, we don't need an army of evil Gokus, that just sounds like bad fan fiction to me, and I really dislike the idea of 16 being a villain.

I'd rather them just do new stories. Even if she and the story are great, we're too far away form the androids level of stories to go back to them now.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Yes. I think she'd be a great addition, two female androids around might be interesting.
But not before Miira and Towa, they need to appear first and need to appear now.

Yes, I do.
She appears to be a Red Ribbon Army Android that was played straight, who was loyal to her army and could defeat the Z-Fighters. Such a concept would be fascinating, even if it goes against Akira Toriyama's concept of subverting concepts (the Androids he had previously created went off and did their own thing in the main timeline, and Cell and their alliances with the Z-Fighters later derailed their purpose).

Only if she appears in a filler arc. Even then, her appearance would be forced so I think she should stay in FighterZ, even though I really like her design.

Just watched the clip in which she appears and talks. Gotta say, her demeanor seems to be very different from the one her promo image and still shots suggested. She's seems like the serious sort, but a lot more demure and amicable then what I expected.

True. I thought she was an enemy, but I was wrong.
Lesson learned: wait till the game releases before learning who she is and what she does, then decide on her in DBS.

I would have to wait until DBFZ is released but for now my thoughts are nah. Maybe after the ToP. She would feel out of place,
