I'd be ok with Android 19 or 20 getting in the game. I like the energy absorption mechanic they can bring to play. It's pretty unique and if someone had it then that's great. Also, I gotta go with my full predictions list again from the jump.
Out of 24 (or if you wanna call SSB 26)...
- Goku // SSB Goku
- Vegeta // SSB Vegeta
- Cell Saga Gohan
- Freeza
- Cell
- Majin Buu
- Future Trunks
- Piccolo
- Krillin
- Android 16
- Android 18
- Nappa (w/ Saibamen bomb mines)
- Captain Ginyu (w/Force as part of his attacks)
- Gotenks
- Ultimate Gohan
- Kid Buu or Super Buu
- Hercule
- Tien (w/ Chiaotzu)
- Roshi or Bulma (w/robot) or Videl, just some human
- Bardock
- Broly
- Beerus
- Hit
- Black
So far so good with my prediction list. Glad we've seen more Future Trunks Arc things so that brings my list back to it's true form.

I am surprised by this too. We haven't even hit the big gaming events like TGS, NYCC etc where games like this get a lot of reveals.
Hopefully we have 20 characters by the end of the year. If the that's the case and the game releases late Q1 of next year, I think we'll hit 28-32 characters at launch.
Yeah I am thinking Jaco would be cool to use
And I love the 13 characters they choose too. I'd buy for the 13 chars they announced already. Extra cake- we're getting 3 vs 3 + that new mode with 6 players. I am happy to see a fighting game think outside the box and introduce fun new modes.

Just give me more unique characters. I'm actually happy that Android 16 was chosen over Android 17. You never see that happen in DBZ games, which lets me think that ASW is going for a more varied roster rather than just the popular picks. Sure, SSB Goku and Vegeta are in, but since this game wouldn't exist without Super, it makes sense.

Just give me Goku Black and I'm 100% in.
SSB Vegito would be fucking amazing as well.

Do we have a link yet for where the sign ups will be?
Ok, two things buddy :
1) Check your claims, because 17 was never playable in any 2D game, while 16 was very often picked
2) When 17 is added either through DLC or in 3 years for the sequel, do you really think he's not going to be a unique character ?
Undead, Arched, tell him.
Also we don't have beta sign ups link yet obviously.

Oh I just found out that Android 18 was finally confirmed <3 Her, Teen Gohan and Piccolo are probably going to be the main three characters I will focus on.

Hm, yeah I finally finished Goku Black's arc other day. I guess I can see him having an interesting move set but I guess I'm still indifferent whether he makes it in or not
Granted, I only wanted the base Z fighters which were already confirmed so I'm good to go.
I'm still fuzzy on 17 myself. Funny enough I only remember 16 & 18 most clearly along with Cell. After I'm caught up on Super I'm going back to android saga

At least 17 will have access to his Super stuff when he's added as DLC or in the sequel.

How can you forget one of the best battles in Z
to be honest I think I must've quit right before Cell saga (well I quit right after Frieza). I was mostly a fan of the DBZ movies (I loved those so much). The actual series I found to be a bit long winded. So I quit after Frieza saga. Only reason I know Cell is from the DBZ games and watching some 1 or 2 eps with him in it.
Yeah I have a lot of material to go through before this game drops
This is definitely my most anticipated fighter.
Hence now yall know why I only care for Z fighters. But I did see Cell & Buu in multiple games
MiguelMexMIstery
Member
Yeah I liked a lot of villains from the movies too.
Cell Saga is worth it, most of the characters get their own moments and contribute to the arc in some way.

Ah good to know. Only reason I have a rough idea of what occurs is from watching it reenacted in the DBZ fighting games I played through the yrs.
This game right here was my jam. I am thinking to hook up my PS2 and replay it:

If Hit is in I'd love it if he had a counter that was something like this;

you will get a lot of shit for this but I will say is I cannot blame you. A lot of DBZ was stalled on purpose but If you watch DBZ Kai they edit it down to make it more enjoyable without the wait.

Counter filled guy with stance changes and potentially a time slow super to simulate his ability to operate slightly precognitive to predict your movements? Oh hell yes. This sounds like a new hot take on the Amaterasu moveset.
Yep, Hit has a lot of potential for creativity as a character, I hope he makes it in and is versatile as fuck.

I played this on Wii with my little brother. Very fun.
Or they could make it like Izanami's ribcage from BB, a special that lets her autoguard everything but throws for a limited amount of time.
She also has the ability to freeze time...
Alrighty kids, with all of these bombshell new announcements over the last week, I have a new roster:
Of course this includes post launch DLC characters. If I had to guess, it would be:
Zamasu, Merged Zamasu, SSR Goku Black, Kale, Caulifla, Android 17, SSB Vegetto, Super Boo, Janemba, Broli, SSJ4 Goku, SSJ4 Vegeta.
So in the end:
38 characters total: 26 base roster, 12 DLC.
A couple of points since my last round of predictions:
-With the confirmation of SSB Goku and SSB Vegeta, multiple versions of the same character are now fair game. I predict SSJ4 Goku and SSJ4 Vegeta will show up as DLC because SSJ4 is still too popular.
-I think Majin Vegeta will pop up because he'll be relatively easy to implement by reusing a bunch of assets from SSJ Vegeta. Plus he has some iconic Supers that would look amazing in the FighterZ engine. Almost the same exact deal for Goku and Bardock.
-With the confirmation of Kaioken SSB being one of SSB Goku's supers, I believe the character roster was locked in early last year while the Universe 6 arc was airing in Japan. Therefore, I do think Hit will make the cut and be a part of the base roster. However...
-...All of the characters above that appear after the U6 arc will appear as post launch DLC. That means Kale, Caulifla, Zamasu, Merged Zamasu, Goku Black, SSB Vegetto and Android 17 will be DLC.
-The entire Universe 7 ToP team will be playable after all DLC is released
-With the news of a story focusing on Android 16, the game almost certainly won't be retelling the Z story again, which means jabronis like Raditz, Nappa and Ginyu won't be in the game. Thank god.
-Gotenks will be repping SSJ3 in this game!
-I am willing playable Bulma w/ crazy Capsule gimmick moveset into existence. Not sure what design they'll be using for her (pretty sure she has the most designs of any Dragon Ball character ever), but I went with her OG Dragon Ball design because it's pretty iconic at this point.
-Videl will be a joke character. Like 17 with 18, I'm hoping her father and Great Saiyaman run in for certain attacks or supers.
-2 DB reps, 2 GT reps and 2 Movie reps is fair, I think!
-I wish Jiren or Brianne or someone else not from U6 from the Tournament of Power could get in, but unfortunately I think it's way too recent to make the cut for this game. Brianne instead of unmerged Zamasu would be sweet >_<

yeah some of those Budokai Tenkaichi 3 mods are insane
i imagine that since that one of the main points about the Budokai Tenkaichi games was to try and get as many characters in it as they could adding new characters wouldn't be the hardest thing to do
Just realized Hit's idle/walking stance will be with his hands in his pockets. Which is effing badass.
God I am going be pissed if he isn't in this from the start. Just give me Hit, Black and Beerus from Super, and I'll be content no matter what the rest of the roster looks like (tho I really want Janemba, kid Goku and Bulma as well).

That was an amazing arc
I love Beerus, but I'd take Champa over him in the game any day.

I hope there's no OC in this at all. Dragon Ball had more than enough characters to never have to resort to that.

I'd love it if the final roster is anything close to that but I'm not expecting nearly as many characters, I'm thinking at least 10 less. It'd be amazing if I could rock Kid Goku/Bulma/Roshi as a team, tho.
I predict we'll absolutely see Ultimate Gohan, Gotenks, and Kid Buu to finish off the main DBZ characters, then probably Beerus, Hit and Black for Super characters. Then Broly cause Broly. Past that, I'll be really curious who they end up deciding to add. I'm rooting for Roshi showing up at least.

OH MY GOSH! THIS SHIT IS STUPID!
Because of this I just spent 40 min looking at videos of stupid fusions lol. that was great.
1. Didn't know that. I'm was just going off popularity and what I've played of the 3D games.
2. At no point did I say that. Considering he was just reintroduced in the anime, I'm assuming the staff wouldn't have time to add some of his newest stuff if he were in the base roster. He would most likely just have similar moves to 18. If they made a DLC based off the current tournament arc, he would definitely make the cut. So yeah, the Super version of him would have a lot of unique moves to go off of. His Android saga version, probably not, if Android saga 18 already in the game.

If none of em make the base roster, I really hope eventually there's a ToP DLC that has Tien, Roshi and 17.

This is pretty similar to what I'd want/expect.
Except Videl wouldn't be a joke character + Arale would be in there somehow. I'm also expecting Great Saiyaman to be in over Ultimate Gohan just for an unexpected pick at launch and for the initial roster to be smaller than 26, but above 20.
Yeah, and pull a Elphelt costume like thing and make 18 show up in her ToP outfit for the expansion and her normal costume buyable with in-game points/DLC.
SSJB Vegeta also has a move from the Future Trunks arc. So by that logic, Goku Black & Zamasu are fair game for the base roster.Alrighty kids, with all of these bombshell new announcements over the last week, I have a new roster:

They could do the same thing with Trunks.
