Android 16 has to be in this game. He's the prototypical ASW character. I give him a 102% chance to make it, with a 2% margin of error.

I wouldn't mind that story arch...

If it has air-invul anti-air normals like BB or GG it should be fine, i'd think. It does look kinda dumb right now though..
I'm hoping for Janemba and his stage.
and of course Gogeta
Janemba needs to be in this and his opening is him evolving from baby Janemba.
Broly even got a new form recently in that 4D movie, I doubt they're going to replace him.
yeah it does seem to have a lot of start up too so if they have a 6A equivalent then that would but a great way to stop it unless you were locked down with assist or caught throwing a FB or something. if it becomes situational like that i think i'd like the mechanic a lot. still prolly gonna be a frustrating experience for beginners tho.
Few things
1) Didn't know that was a thing
2) after googling , those renders of goku and vegeta make me want a large scale expensive CGI dragon ball movie,
3) I just noticed SSgSS goku looks like Toriko
4) God broly or whatever its called reminds me of dio
You can hit it and you can parry it.
It certainly doesn't look dumb so much as people don't know how to deal with it.
Broly IS DBZ. If you made DBZ into a single character, that character would be Broly. He should be considered the official spokesman of the series.
I don't like him either, but what can you do?
It looks dumb in the same way that Zangief looks broken during the first week of a new Street Fighter release...
i think what was being called parry is actually a pushblock. you can apparently parry non-beam fireballs tho.
I like broly and this is accurate
Broly is the Vince McMahon of Dragonball Z
Imma break it down for you. I'm going to tell you a secret, i'm going to give you the lore.
He's a cool big guy who yells, kills people and is super strong and punches the thing widly.
That's it. Not everyone wants indepth character backgrounds for all their villains , sometimes punching the thing , really cool is enough and makes an impact. Also character design.
Its why Eddy Brock venom is still around, sometimes you don't want depth, you just wanna see a cool feral big guy punch the thing and be a monster. Would i prefer flash thomson venom at all times? Yes, but I get why people like eddy
I'm not a fan of him but he always manages to sneak into every video game. He's on the cover of Raging Blast, a game that has no other movie characters! (Unless you want to count Bardock.)

That comment made me laugh ol
Kale is not, I can't stress this enough, is not getting in over Broly. I don't care if you hate Broly, I don't care if you love Kale, I don't care if you created Kale, Broly has top ranking here. There's level to this "DB game Saiyan" shit and by that there's different tiers of Saiyans who will always appear and who won't. It goes like this.
Tier 1 Saiyan - These guys will always be in the DBZ games no matter what, you can't make a DB game without them. (ex. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan)
Tier 2 Saiyan - These guys will probably be in the game due to their popularity above all and while not Tier 1, they're very valuable (ex. Broly)
Tier 3 Saiyan - These guys are liked but it's a coin toss on if they'll appear in the game, it just depends on the character amount (ex. Nappa)
Broly is Tier 2. There's no way that Kale gets in over Broly.
It doesn't matter if you like him or not, this is a fact. I don't even play dude but he's one of the most popular Saiyans out here.

All the Androids need to be in the game honestly.
Kind of sickens me to have potentially 10+ characters in a 20 roster to be saiyans TBH.
Well at least the 16 17 18 trio. They'd make the perfect tag team.

In a perfect world they would only take up a maximum of five slots. That would be more than reasonable in a thirty character roster.

Its a sign that the well of creativity has run dry. Especially, since a non-cannon character had to be ripped off to create a new cannon character. There are also clones of other characters like Frieza, Goku, Kaioshins, etc. Add to this, the lack of a signature villain, and lackluster character designs (i.e. Jiren looks like something designed by a 5th grader).
I actually do want Nappa. That said, Super's bringing Kale, Toppo, & Jiren to the table, & even if we ignore everything non-Z, there's 16 & Dabura (Who I don't remember that well so I don't know if he'd be a grappler... But I do know he's big). And in a 3v3 game, I'm willing to consider 16, 17, & 18 a package deal. And thanks to Super, I'm convinced the latter 2 have better odds than most.

Pushblock.. doesn't really seem to do much for you against homing dash, right?
Wouldn't you rather have them slightly negative right next to you than slightly negative far away? Usually.
It pushes them away, so if they tried to pressure you they whiff and you can dash at them and punish.
I also saw somebody hit a dash.
I'd rather have it this way than have it negative on block. Because timing a hit is better than just holding back and waiting for it IMO.
Anyway wait for the Beta before asking for nerfs.

He really didn't get much screentime, but Dabura's got some unique things to work with, so I hope he gets in. Firebreath, spears & swords, stone spit, and maybe Babidi assists.
I'm down with 16, 17 and 18 being in the base game as a trio as long as that cuts down these other Super characters in the base game like Cabba, Kale and Caligula. Keep them outta here. 17 can be a mix of his Z and Super form for all I care as I think we won't get 2 17s. Just 1.
im not asking for nerfs i just wanna talk about the mechanic.
i dont think you get a punish off it. it basically resets neutral from the examples i seen. i think i seen both chars push homing after pushblock and get clash in the air.
you can also cancel off it which is kinda dope cuz you can do stuff like homing then airdash other side, cross up divekick like this example.
https://youtu.be/jYnFDFSzvns?t=5m16s
Just treat the homing dash like an air dash, either you punish them before they reach you, or you block and have to deal with the blockstring.
Or you can just pushblock and return to neutral, that sounds pretty good honestly. If the game just gave us a free punish for blocking the homing dash, then the homing dash would be kind of bad outside of combos and specific punishes. It'll be fine, but might take a little bit of time to get used to how neutral will work in this game.
She's probably not going to be a character

Right right.
I guess even -if- there's no 6A equivalent you might be able to jab it like you do hops in KoF.
Wonder what happens if you try to neutral jump it, would it chase you up?
I interviewed Tomoko Hiroki, the game's producer during E3. We covered a broad range of subjects like the size of the roster, the power disparity between characters, the chances of a Switch version (it's possible and it could be released after the other versions). Here it is (I'm sorry, I'm too tired to translate it back into English but Google translate might help): http://www.gameblog.fr/dossier_1084_dragon-ball-fighterz-roster-mode-histoire-version-switch-la-

Please be the one, the one that can disable auto-combo. Please!
Yes, I believe it will try to follow us if we jump. I have no idea how good the tracking is though since I only have videos to go off of.
It'll be great if this game has 0f throws like in GG, jump up and toss them out of their homing dash, haha.
Edit: oh right, the dragon rush thing is this game's throw, guess that's not going to happen.

Seems like Tien will almost surely be playable.
I hope you mean Super as in DBS 17 & not the travesty that is GT Super 17.
You......I like you.

Switch version would be great. Going to take on Xbox One when its released, but will double dip if it is released on Switch later.

I heard this may come to Nintendo Switch, if so, I'm totally getting it. I love the visual style, and it feels like MVC.

Can we expect native/ checkerboard 4k for pro and X?

Am I the only one who wants Cooler?? His character looks like thrift store frieza, but his final form is super badass. I'm set if we get him and Broly.
Why?
The way it worked in Persona allowed new players to get in some reliable damage if they landed a hit, while more advanced players would be encouraged to perform real combos as they were FAR more damaging and way more meter efficient.
I'm not saying the system is perfect, but it certainly works well enough.
*edit*
Oh, you mean disable it so that you don't actually perform one yourself. Yeah, that is fair.
Super's Tournament 17. Not GT's 17.
