Key word: Relevant.
Tien's obviously stronger than he is (recent episode of Super aside...) and even he isn't guaranteed to be on the initial roster. At this point Roshi is just barely more relevant than Yamcha and that's not saying much at all.

Yeah, you're right. I totally forgot about the no killing rule. There's also a no weapons rule IIRC, so stuff like swords, senzu beans and drugs are not allowed.
Super Trunks is just Z Trunks with two new forms (SSJ2 and SSJ Rage) and a few new moves (he also uses his sword more). What's the point of having the strictly worse version of the character as well?

Thanks, sorry for the mix up!

fuckin' called it, man
Glad this is in the OP so we can see how wrong it is in a year
No problem, you don't mind if I PM you from time to time to update stuff in it ? I don't want to bother Kagari all the time !
I'm shaking in fear for 17 tbh.
At least I made sure they know he has one fan.

Of course!!!! Thanks! I'll go ahead and credit you and Kagari in the OP as well!
Maybe the former as a final, but let him have his own unique moves like burning attack and the heat dome attack.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This may be the highest effort speculation thread I've ever seen. Puts some OTs to shame. Excellent job OP
Straight up, Mr. Satan has a higher chance of getting in the game compared to Caulifla. He's the perfect joke character to put in the game similar to a Dan or Dr. B. Yall hyping the fuck out of these Super characters taking a lot of these spots when it's called "FighterZ." Most of them will be DLC. I'm sure if a good amount of Super characters were in they'd call it "Dragonball Fighters" or something instead. The fact they put a Z there just says something about the roster.
I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed when they see the base roster.

I feel like people are rating Bardock's chances a bit too high. I think he's got a decent shot, but with a small roster, I don't think he's a priority. Plus, if the base Goku model isn't that great, then that would indicate that if Bardock is in, he wouldn't be in his own base form (since he has identical hair) and it would be odd if he were in constant super saiyan mode considering he only had it in that one spin off special...and I guess some of that Heroes stuff.

No Blue Vegetto or Merged Zamasu and Kale in the dumpster fire? Tsk Tsk Tsk.

I don't think regular Zamasu fits in any of those categories.

Does no one want kid goku playable? i mean he could be a speed type not powerful close range but could use his powerpole for range.
and his ultimate could be the attack that killed King piccolo

I think caulifla happened too late into the development of the game.
So I think they will want a 3 men team for Dragon Ball Super : Black Hit and Zamasu.
We already have 18 characters. I'd say + those 3.
And then another 3. If it's tien roshi 17 it'd be funny. To complete U7 team.

I love Pokken!
In what universe Nappa has more chance to make it than Raditz, Cooler or Brolly?
Cooler is movie, they're never gonna do movie in a first game outside or Bardock and Broly.
It's not Broly it's Kale.
Raditz is garbage. Nappa at least killed people.

I'd be weird to have Black and Zamasu, but don't Merged Zamasu, but I guess it'd also be weird to have Black and Merged Zamasu but no Zamasu.

I got Frieza and Buu, so the only other characters I want that have a chance are Beerus, Yamcha, Videl and Ginyu. I don't have to worry about Beerus, but the other three I'm not feeling too confident on. Maybe saying Videl has a chance is generous lol.
I'd die happy if we got Tao or Arale.
I'd die happy if we got Tao or Arale.
I hope so. Since Golden Frieza is already confirmed, hopefully it will only be limited to the movies (Beerus, SSB Goku + Vegeta). Maybe do a Goku Black and Zamasu as DLC down the road but I rather have the Z content as the focus.
As mentioned before, Hit got in the Xenoverse 2 base roster at the last minute due to his popularity. He has a pretty good chance of getting in DBF on Day 1.
Going off of the OP's "potential candidates" chart, I'd say Vegito is a lock as well as Super Buu (who isn't listed there). Three Buus sounds excessive, but their movesets are vastly different.
Also, as much as people probably won't like it, I expect GT characters to happen at some point. Maybe just SS4 Gogeta and Omega Shenron, assuming the developers don't want to add a bunch of Gokus and Vegetas and maintain moveset variety as much as possible.
By the way, can I get some love for DB Kid Goku? I want to see him fly in with the nimbus and pull out the Power Pole for some EXTENDed action. DB Kid Goku needs to happen.
Also, Great Saiyaman, please.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Can't believe I forgot Cell Games. That one will be in yea lol.
Have any DBZ games had King Kai's planet as a stage? Seems too small even tho its such an iconic location. You could do Snake Way as the stage with the planet in the background but that's not the same.
They could include Chi-Chi & give her some of Kid Goku's gear (Power Pole, Nimbus, etc.).
Extreme Butoden, Arcsystem's last DB game had both as stage.
Great OP! Thanks for this, I'm incredibly excited for this game but have been too busy lately to check all streams and gameplay footage.
This is pretty much a dream game for me and it looks stunning, wow. I'm so excited I think I'll give Super another try... I dropped it near the beginning due to it just being poorly animated summaries of the movies.
As for characters... Tien would be nice. I want Perfect Gohan too but I think he's a given. Super Saiyaman though? That'd be amazing. Kid Goku too.

I'm good as long as we get Beerus, Hit and Goku Black. Or well, at least hints of them as DLC, though I'm fairly sure Beerus is a lock for the base roster.

The DS Butoden and Super Dragon Ball Z on PS2 both had it as well.
Thank you. Been saying that.
Beerus
Golden Freeza
SSB Goku
SSB Vegeta
Those will be the only Super characters in the base game. Hit, Whis, Goku Black/Merged Zamasu and Super's Trunks (Install) will probably be in the first DLC.
We really gotta get a roster count.

None of those are Super characters.
I think Hit and Black are pretty likely, especially since Dimps bum rushed to get those two into XV2 at launch due to popularity. Arcsys wouldn't have to rush to get them in.
Hit as a character will be over 2 years old when this game comes out.
Like Super Dragon Ball Z? Sounds cool, I guess. I just want to hear Kid Goku say "POWER POLE EXTEND!"
Plus, having the main representative of the original Dragon Ball is just plain awesome fanservice to me.
On the one hand, I agree, at least in the context of a roster that will probably number 20 or fewer.
On the other hand, I feel like folks aren't giving Raditz enough credit. Yes, he was a nobody in the context of the series as a whole, but he's got one of the most interesting and well-rounded movesets of any character in the series (at least judging by what he gets to show off in Xenoverse 2). He's genuinely a fun character to play as and I would hesitate to describe him as a "wasted slot".
But of course, I wouldn't expect him in the first game at all. Maybe if they make a sequel....
Yeah, that's the point. It would just be a fun bonus in the options.
The whole OP was remade.
And Mai is there being this show has no female fighter.
She was recently shown as pretty bad ass.
There's 3 things here:
1.) XV2 already had a massive roster filled with fan favorites, it had an over 110 characters day 1, this game probably won't have over 24 and given that it's harder for Hit to be in. There's other characters who are very popular as well, it's not like because Hit's here their popularity decreases.
2.) It's "FighterZ" and I'm sure if there were a good amount of Super characters it likely wouldn't have that in the title.
3.) After this game's done with they'll likely only be adding Super characters for the future titles and DLC. Given that, it makes more sense to get the Z characters out of the way first because we probably won't see them coming back for those characters unlike with Super. They can run with this for at least 3 games I'd say.
And they're not "technically" Super characters because they're in the movies but you know the whole deal with that.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Raditz and Nappa were in ArcSys' other DBZ game (Extreme Butoden), so I'm afraid they're going to take up slots again here. 17 and Dabura would be better replacements (although I doubt Dabura will get in. He's always forgotten)
Bardock had such a cool fighting style in EB though. It was brutal and stylish, completely unlike everyone else's.
