This screenshot represents perfectly the amount of care that went into 17.

I'm sure they'll fix it, and if they don't...it's not really that deep/serious.

Looks fucking incredible. I think 16 and 18 with 17 were definitely the right choices for android picks. Really interested in seein who else they choose.
 
I genuinely don't understand the love for 17. I always thought he was kind of a doorknob in DBZ. Is he like super cool in Dragon Ball Super?

Anyway, I am crazy amped for this game, and Android 16 looks crazy awesome.

Kid Goku isn't happening.

Dragon Ball stuff isn't happening.

My predictions have been accurate thus far. My predictions are law.

Dabura will be among the next revealed characters. So shall it be spoken, so shall it be done.

The original english dub butchered his characterization. The trunks OAV also didn't do him any favor.

17 is Super is not much different from his real canon self, just more mature.

He's alright. He does some pretty cool stuff in the most recent story arc. Slaythe is just into the character to sort of a weird extent.

I know very well the pain of having a character you want in reduced to a side role. You have my sympathy.

Thank you.

I'm actually more pissed about the fact that they didn't bother to give him his own moves. Obviously nobody could want him in the game seeing his assist is literally 18 with black hair. Which isn't at all how he fights in the show. :/

No dude, I'm not even a 6 out of 10 on the 17 fan scale.

There are a lot of very dedicated 17 fans by the way, that I met over the past few weeks.

y'all #17 people starting to sound like the Switch port beggers. I get it's important to you but it's dominating the conversation. Even in the replies on Twitter...

Look, if we want things to change with DLC or whatever, it's now while they still have time.

Begging for it once the game is out is already game over.

Today was the day of the announcement, of course his fans are gonna be vocal about it.

I can definitely empathize with the 17 fans, and it would have been cool if we could have fully reproduced Team Android.

But if it was one or the other, I might have been more pissed if 18 got snubbed.

This game needs Dragon Ball stuff if they want moves that aren't all energy beams/spheres/discs/etc. DB was where the most inventive moves came from.

That's why we need Tenshinhan. That whole character was a treasure chest of batshit moves that were only used like once (in the manga).

Even Kid Goku justifies an inclusion with how different he fights from adult Goku.

Stop bullying Slaythe. ;_;

I could see him being DLC down the line due to his Super involvement, but I doubt 17 fans mass complaining on twitter would help in that decision being made. It's a good way to vent, though it can easily border on obnoxious.

DBZ 17 was sacrificed so we could get one of ASW's trademark puppet characters. I think that's a fair trade, but then again, I'm not that invested in the character.

Yeah, he's got so much to pull from. I want a level 3 where he propels himself with a one-handed Kamehameha through a dude's torso.

Just the Powerpole alone would make him stand out in this game.

Like, 17 is cool in Super or whatever, but this was the correct decision. Having a tandem character makes for a way more interesting moveset in a game where I was a bit worried characters would be somewhat homogeneous in terms of their play styles.

There's two problems right now.

1) he's a puppet, okay. I can understand the gameplay aspect, and a ToP "costume" could swap their places, since 18 is very lame compared to 17 in Super, this is where you stand, i disagree but this is fine.

2) 17 fights like 18 and doesn't have any of his attacks from the show, they made him shorter and used 18's animations on his body. This is NOT ok.

Been intermittently refreshing this page throughout the day and it finally just loaded for me, albeit on an all white background with plain text, so clearly not everything loaded, but I was able to fill out the info and click submit. Got literally one line of plain text saying "Thank you for signing up for the DRAGON BALL FighterZ closed beta. If selected for participation, we will notify you via email.". I don't like my odds.

Dude, 17 is like 2 inches taller which in terms of modeling basically means they're the same height.

The fuck is wrong with you ?

"Ohh slaythe feels bad I'm gonna make him feel worse" , awesome dude, grow up.

I believe I have the right to complain on the day this thing is announced.

Bro, you been complaining for days about the most nitpicky things. It was cute at the beginning but now it's just bringing the thread down. Don't tell me to grow up when you've been throwing a tantrum this whole morning.
