Dragon Ball FighterZ (PC/XB1/PS4, BN/ASW, UE4, early 2018, beta Sum 2017) E3 trailer

The man is clearly way out of his prime though. I don't know how anyone can take this stuff seriously, some of you legit saying to skip the first 30 episodes is embarrassing.

The first 27 episodes are bad remakes of the Battle of Gods and Revival F that likely only exist to allow the usage of Beerus, Whis and other elements from those movies without needing to credit Fox (In fact, Dragonball Fighter Z seems to be the first game making usage of that, since it included Freeza's Golden form in the trailer, but no credits for Fox, only Toei, Bird Studios and Shueisha).

That and not everyone in every market has seen the new movies. Super's "real story" takes place after the movies, which can be jarring for kids that have never seen the movies.

Android 17 should be in

idc about his super portrayal

but I like his character and he had one of the best fights with Piccolo
not to mention Super 17 was one of the few good things in GT .. sick design

It doesn't even make sense, it's a continuation of a show they really like but with better writing and more developed characters

Am I the only one who feels like Goku has gotten worse? He was never bright, but he's more dumb then he's ever been. I can't stand it. It's almost as if they watched DBZ Abridged & applied that into Super.

And she has this.

I think Future Mai would be better for that.

these are actually her supers in JUS

Are you watching the current arc in the Japanese broadcast? They toned down his dumbness a lot.

Yeah the black arc was pretty painful in that regard. I feel like they wanted him to look as bad as possible to highlight trunks and vegeta more in that arc.

The current one isnt as bad imo

How can you dislike something youve never watched? Super gets good 30 episodes in. This current arc, while just being build up for the tournament, has had the best animation in the entirety of DBS.

Look up Goku vs 17

No show that gets good 30 episodes in is actually all that good tbh

I keep forgetting Arale is actually canon in the dragon ball universe because of that one movie, I forgot she's the one that beat general blue lol
 
I've always divided series like Dragon Ball into its story arcs, the early arcs are rough but they get progressively better and the current one is really good so far.

In a vacuum, the Battle of Gods arc is fine (just bad compared to the movie) and actually has quite a few genuinely great moments. The Resurrection F arc however is lazy but thankfully shorter. After that it gets to original story.

We're getting Kale and Caulifla in this game eventually. Not a question of if, but when. Probably will be DLC or one of those Arc System Works updated re-releases they like to do. Their popularity is huge in the community and they only debut a couple of episodes ago, and the producer of the game has already cited Caulifla as his fav character in all of Dragon Ball. The lesbian Saiyans are coming and there's nothing you can do about it!

You will get Caulifa , and brolly, and there will be dialogue about him reminding him of her, and some joke about broccoli and Kale , and you will like it.

Then when Dragon Ball Fighter Z Xcross tournament of heaven comes out, with 10 new characters, then you might get Kale maybe. Or heck you wont get either of them in this game, then Arcsys releases the update, then you get one.

I wonder if Future Trunks makes it in if we'll see
Super Saiyan Rage Trunks and his energy Sword as a super?
A couple of people on GAF don't care to watch Super and think it's lame, so we obviously won't see it to appease them. Instead we're going to get bulky Trunks that makes him look stupid and will be bad to use in-game.
 
Didn't see a twitter link in the last two pages, so I assume this hasn't been posted yet. Well, even if it has, it's still worth looking at again: https://twitter.com/mizumaki_7/status/874951344355917824

Comparison of in-game moves with the manga pages they were referenced from. Pretty sweet stuff.

I wonder what Goku's character art is based on, first thing that came to mind for me is his Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans character design sheet.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I hope we get Cell Saga trunks who has Super Saiyan rage and the Spirit Bomb Sword represented in some way.

I want to see the USSJ form in some capacity, maybe as just an attack? Got no clue what Trunks they'll use, but I can't wait to see! I would not mind the seeing SSR or the Spirit Sword one bit either. I enjoyed the Black Saga a lot

List time? I'm pretty sure there will be some Super characters since it is ongoing series and they will want to promote that.

1. SS Goku
2. SS Vegeta
3. SS2 Gohan
4. Ultimate Gohan
5. Freeza
6. Cell
7. Piccolo
8. 17
9. 18
10. Buu
11. Kid Buu
12. SS Future Trunks
13. SS Gotenks
14. Krillin
15. Tenshinhan
16. Muten Roshi
17. Beerus
18. Hit
19. Goku Black
20. Zamasu
21. Caulifla (they need female characters)
22. Kyabe

23. and 24. could be SSB Goku and Vegeta if they don't have it as an install like Freeza. Maybe some of the Pride Troopers if they go that far.

Bulma is actually a good guess, she could do some science stuff. If anyone can do quirky characters, it's ASW. Or she could be relegated to an assist to someone, like Sorbet is to Frieza after his Gold form recovery.
 
Guess I'll do my list as well:

1.- SSJ Goku (SSJ3 transformation).
2.- Goku (SSB transformation).
3.- SSJ Vegeta.
4.- Vegeta (SSB transformation).
5.- SSJ2 Kid Gohan.
6.- Ultimate Gohan.
7.- Piccolo.
8.- Krillin.
9.- Android 18.
10.- SSJ Future Trunks (SSI transformation).
11.- SSJ Gotenks (SSJ3 transformation).
12.- Raditz.
13.- Nappa.
14.- Ginyu.
15.- Freeza.
16.- Perfect Cell.
17.- Fat Buu.
18.- Kid Buu.
19.- Beerus.
20.- Hit.
21.- Black (SSR transformation).
22.- Merged Zamasu.
23.- Vegito (SSB transformation).
24.- Broly.

I don't want Broly in there but he's to popular to not include unfortunately. I will be the first to admit that Merged Zamasu is wishful thinking but it's free to hope lol.

Yeah, nrs does a good job when they can have things be cinematic, actual moment to moment gameplay wise they are very iffy Though to be fair, Injustice 2 is by far their best effort yet and a HUGE step up on the presentation side of everything

Look up Goku vs 17

I've watched all of Super and really the only segment I think is worth watching again (unless you have major nostalgia) is the beginning of the Future Trunks arc up until about episode 63.

Almost the same list I thought of but 22 Broly, 23 Vegito, 24, Dabura.

no blue hair trunks is all i'll ask for =o



"boo woo i don't want the version of the character that has interesting moves and actually has unique sword abilities because he has blue hair that i'll get to see 2 seconds in the intro, despite the fact that they have different colors for the characters including one that would most likely change it".

I like this reasoning.

I fuckin hate Broly and I really hope he won't take someone else's character slot, just keep it canon.

That dude is too popular, can't see him not in the game. I like Broly myself. I enjoy muscle-bound freaks with weird proportions I guess lol. Same reason I like Baki.

Broly was pretty fun to play in Budokai 3 too! His fighting style is unique as well.

I just realized the thread title is Fighter Z and not FighterZ.
*twitch*

I'm gonna have a hard time not calling it Dragon Ball Fighter Z. I think I prefer that name lol.
