Regular Zamasu then.

M. Zamasu is better than regular Zamasu, who doesn't really have that much going for him outside of the immortality, which should technically be cheating to put him in a game lol

Black > M. Zamasu > Zamasu imo in terms of priority

Awww, I like Super 17 a lot as a villain, arc goes from 0-100-0 and then the shadow dragons show up and I think his design is neat

I haven't got to 17 in super though, base 17 is an objectively better choice

I'll take Haze Shenron instead tho

But the way regular Zamasu and Black fight are similar, don't bring up the Scythe that was used for 10 seconds lol. Zamasu also doesn't look like a clone.

I know people prefer Black over Zamasu, but I think Zamasu would be better since he's more visually unique. Just include Black in some of his supers.

I would take both, Goku Black and Zamasu (Merged, maybe), but never Zamasu over Goku Black :/ To be honest the arc was a lot more interesting
when Black was still around.

Speaking of which.....

I kinda wish they had battle damage in this.
And before you go "boo woaaaaah arcsys 3d", keep in mind they DO have battle damage in Xrd Rev.

It's subtle, it's mostly scratches and light tears here and there but it's effective. Better than eating a final flash and come out pristine.

They have stage damage already in this. Wouldn't surprise me if battle damage isn't implemented yet or if it's a stylistic choice to not do so.

Why would I not bring up the scythe, or the other energy blade moves he used? In general, he had a stronger focus on that kind of stuff as opposed to M. Zamasu, who had various new attacks.

The only people that care that he looks like a clone are those that have yet to actually seen him in action.

Pretty sure Zamasu was also using the energy swords. And the scythe was used for 10 seconds and then was thrown away.

I didn't say Zamasu never used the energy swords, I said there were certain moves Black used that Zamasu didn't:

As for the scythe, they can either simply let him use it, or just find a way to utilize that cloning ability he possesses as a super or something. Either works.

That said, I was comparing Black to M. Zamasu in the first place. Regular Zamasu would be the worst option of the 3 to put in the roster, because if people really want Zamasu for his looks (As in, a character that doesn't look like Goku), then you may as well just use that instead.

The popular option is Goku Black, while the strongest and final villain is M. Zamasu. Zamasu on the other hand, I don't see why they should bother since they're working with a limited roster, as he's the weakest and basically has watered down versions of Black's attacks, as well as lacking all the other neat stuff Black has access to.

Hell, maybe they could even use Zamasu in the same way they used 17, where Black stabs through him in order to stab the opponent.
 
Any newer gameplay videos or is everything we have still from evo?

I don't know where this footage was taken but I think it's new, the build likely isn't though:

Should put to rest the whole "they all play the same" nonsense, nah who am I kidding people are gonna be on that bullshit throughout the entire life of the game

Daaaym! Player 2 was playing like a pro in those videos. People really gotta start learning the parry/pushblock mechanic asap. I barely saw anybody using it at EVO if at all.

No, because most people prefer Goku Black, and M. Zamasu doesn't even fight the same anyhow.

Since he's a fusion of course he'd be able to use all of Black's moves. Including the edgelord scyth everyone is in love with.
Plus when he has his halo he's the most ASW looking character DBZ has ever had

I know he would have all of Black's moves, but what I said is that they don't really fight the same, namely to M. Zamasu having a bunch of new attacks that are far more destructive. Also since they seemingly care a lot about accuracy, I don't see them merely giving Black's attacks to him anyhow.

Not to undersell Zamasu here, but wasn't the big threat from him because he got immortality? I can at least say that I get why Goku Black would be a threat, but for Zamasu, he would have been killed off a hundred times over had he not got himself the wish earlier.

If they do add him to the roster, I'm not going to take offense to that, but part of me feels like Goku Black and perhaps even "Merged Zamasu" would get in before he would for the variety of moves they have in comparison to him (And just going off the F. Trunks arc).

The only other thing I'm trying to figure out is just how far are we going to go into Super for DBFZ? It does seem painfully obvious at this point that we will probably see Beerus and Hit get in (especially if we had SSB Goku with his 10X Kaioken), but will they also dive in a bit into the F. Trunks arc? or would they cut it at the U6 vs U7 arc and add in later on as possible DLC? The speculation game never ends, but I doubt we'll get answers this week at Gamescom (although it would be a nice surprise to see even more characters announced besides what has just confirmed).

Vegeta Blue's super attack is directly taken from the Black arc.

So you can be 100% sure this will be featured in the game.

So, since Bamco has show NNK II, SAO and Project CARS 2 Gamescom trailers with no signal of DBF... maybe we can expect new characters trailer at Microsoft stage in an hour, right?

They said after the tournament, so it should be next friday I think.

Could be wrong.

A little late to the party, but as a member of the press, I can 100% confirm that rumor is fake.

I highly doubt there was a press event for the Androids reveal. Bandai Namco didn't even send out a press release, so it's unlikely there was a full event. However, even if there was an event, I have almost never seen that kind of information revealed at a press event. At best you might be given embargoed info that was coming out at Gamescom (a week later), but nothing as intricate as what was in that leak.

Highest level of play I've seen so far great stuff.

Honestly I'd consider ending my life.

Id laugh pretty hard if we got 19 instead of 17.

Thinking bout getting into super, how far approx until 17 comes in? 3/4s of the way through?

And I gotta watch BOTG, some filler episodes (cant remember which), then ROF, and then begin after that right?

I mean, that is about as diverse an arrangement of the Androids as you can get.

As much as Android 17 is cool, eye lasers and energy absorptions is cool too, especially in the context of a video game. And it's different to what other characters can offer.

I'd like to see Dr. Gero, for instance. There's a lot that's unique about him as a character within Dragon Ball.

I expect that they will make characters like 17 DLC, but there is also the chance they just don't include characters post-ROF. In that case I could see them not having 17 in the game.

I'm pretty excited for this game, looks amazing and it's been a while since I played a fighting game so this should be fun.

We already have post RoF characters in the game. Classic outfits SSB Goku and Vegeta are from the Future Trunks arc.
