Being an Elphelt main, having an Elphelt clone in this game would make me hype. I kind of want this now.

Guldo will initiate time freeze, walk over to the opponent, unfreeze time and continue the combo.
Pretty sure its just super speed.
There's so little female representation in Dragon Ball I almost think Future Mai is a lock. Who are the females we have to choose from?
- Mai
- Caulifla
- Kale
- Lunch
- Bulma
- Chi Chi
- Videl
- 18
- Marron
- Bra
- Pan
- Pu'ar (does she count?)
Am I missing anyone?
Out of that group, who even has a chance of making it? Bulma, Chi Chi, Videl, 18, Caulifla, Kale and Mai at best? Even if every single one of them made it, that's only 7 females in a roster that's likely to be 20-30 characters.

It's going to be a sausage fest. That's just Dragon Ball.
My guess is 4 girls. The two DBS Saiyan girls and 18 with one other in a joke-y kind of role, ala Bulma in armor.

Dragon ball has always been like that.. I mean chi-chi hasn't been relevant since DB.. and well the only female fighter to expect is 18 at present time since she actually hang from a gameplay perspective.. unless you want to give chichi and videl a kamehameha

Yeah I don't care about having adequate female representation in this game. Being this is DB, the vast majority of the characters I want and think should take priority are male.
You should probably include Towa, as well. Even though she's only appeared in DB games (Online, Heroes, Xenoverse series), thus far, she's been around for a while, is a demon that can hang with the rest of the cast just fine and also serves the purpose of another much needed antagonist on the same token. And hell, it's not like she's an unknown, at this point.
Plus, if this is another Dragonball game that has timey-wimey shenanigans involved in its plot, she's good for that. I could definitely see Arc having fun with her if they needed/wanted her.
I didn't remembered this one

But idk she's not popular. I prefer the New saiyans

I expect more characters because as opposed to those games this is 3v3.

It's actually high speed movement. Even out of the demo's cast, only Goku and Cell actually can teleport. It'd only be an issue if they included Mr.Satan, Videl or some minor early DB fighters who certainly won't be in anyway, like Giran.

I love how they didn't want Gohan to kill a woman so they had the main villain execute her in a cliche, useless way instead.
Thank god, I always played Videl on the Wii DBZ game and she was so weak compared to other characters. Not fun being handicapped because of lore

She actually pops up in DBZ games fairly often compared to any movie henchman (Butouden 2, Tenkaichi 2/3, Ranging Blast 2, she isn't in Xenoverse 2, but her costume is available for custom characters), but I don't think she'll be here, since she pretty much needs to come with Bojack.

I wonder how they will make Trunks unique in comparison with the characters already revealed.
Lmao
Sword.
Hopefully use the sword a lot.
Sword fight, Its the only one besides i think yamcha in db1

The part about power levels is worrying.
This doesn't bode well for us poor OG Dragonball fans.
You will get Janemba instead and you will love it.

Put your Marvel caps on. Reads to me like some characters will unfortunately end up being your MvC2 Captain Commando/Psylocke.
Not amazing in a 1v1 or point position, but still valuable to the team.
This avoids a situation where Bulma accidentally becomes the best point character and is OCVing teams in tournaments. Would I prefer the game be open and the meta develop/break as it does? Absolutely. But I get what they are going for.

Amen.
i want more dream crushing interviews.
You may be Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite's target demographic...
Oh, I see what you were getting at.
Still, she once again went out of her way to acknowledge that the cast is a little bland at the moment, and that things are going to get far more interesting. I am still pretty excited to see how this roster pans out.

I don't see why it'd hurt the image when you could dominate Omega Shenron with fucking Freeza Soldier in other games.
That just sounds strange. No one would really care because fighting games are, well, fighting games.

Maybe, when I heard about the roster, at first I was upset, and I still kind of am, but now I just think its fucking hilarious.
If she strait up says dabura isn't in this game, i'll be upset but i'll laugh my ass off.
That's my only like, dream " i really want this character in the game" character because the rest of the characters I want will either be in the game or dlc. Don't think anyone is worried about broly, or Krillin you know what I mean?
The XenoVerse community is in an uproar because the DLC4 Future Trunks palette swap doesn't have Super Saiyan Rage mode.
They've also expressed concern that Dragonball Fighterz doesnt let you choose base forms of Saiyans and letting you choose to transform.
Trust me, the Dragonball community is mad fickle and really anal retentive about their canon. If a canonically weak character is higher tier than whatever the highest for Saiyan is, they will whine to the developers until they are nerfed.
I wouldn't start panicking yet. Perhaps the difference between an offensive point character and a support character is only about 15% less damaging combos, in which case you need another mixup or opportunity.
I just hope those characters are also real characters and not just gimmicks. For example I don't want a character with a really strong assist but with Dan-tier specials, no air dash and double jump.
I think they may be specifically talking about Hercule with that quote. Exploding gift assist OP?
I actually thought of her when reading through this discussion. She's cooler than Bojack, though that's admittedly through the games as opposed to the movie, which I haven't watched.
EDIT: 18 is a lock though. Bulma as a joke character would be great as well.
I got the exact opposite impression from that interview.
