Tien has a third eye but it barely does shit
that and hilariously he doesn't have the body to react to what he is seeing
I have to back this up. I love Cauli, but her outfit isn't that good.

bruh
Anyway, I like 21. Hoping she will be playable.
Hey don't be sad, he might look dumb, but he's one of the very few decent characters from Super that I would be totally fine seeing in Dragonball Fighterz

Pretty much every new dragon ball character looks like fan designs. Terrible.
Toriyama has his very distinct style at this point but the thing is we've been seeing it for 3 decades now and its almost become generic in of itself.
This is the one that always gets me.
We had an "ideal" transformation in the very same episode, but people are still going to act like Cauliflower ruined something.
Its almost as if the writers were trying to make a point about her that fans then ignored because they dislike the character.
30 years of people immitating your style for games and spinoffs do that.
His designs are fine.

Awesome design. I like her already. And seriously people? This is fucking dragonball and you're complaining about glasses.

Toriyama DQ designs were fine, I think A21 looks cool.

Much better than 90% of the shit in DBS,including Caulifla
... this is fake right?wut.
Remeber when Trunks and Vegeta discovered the version of Super Saiyan than makes you super huge, but super slow? She does the same and immediately gets shut down due to being slow.
But they had muscle to begin with so tha... whatever
Nah, she has a talent for transformations, like Trunks she thought that form was the shit because she didn't know about SS2/SSB
She lasted 5 seconds in that form against Goku who then showed her how to go SS2

I'm all for 21 to become a character in super, anything will be better than the constant tournament arcs we've had in Super the last year or so....
Yes an exaggeration, but dammit it feels like it.

Same.
And yeah I like this new Android 21 design as well.
I think they like giving stylish geniuses heels, heh.

Honestly between this scene and Kale I have to wonder if one of the animators is in to this.
She can toss a pebble at the moon & shatter it into a million pieces. Eat your heart out, ya parachute pants wearing sphynx.

How does he smell?
I personally like the assortment of fighters we got from DBS, especially since most of them have either subdue or shut down Universe 7's antics through anorthodox means.
Someone didn't watch the 21st Budokai.

Seeing the animated gifs on the front page, I quite like the design, especially with the coat.
The game just keeps on looking better and better!
PS: I wonder, if the whole design implies she is a smart scientist, I wonder if a story could pit her vs Bulma in a battle of the "geniuses" per say. Could be a fun little what-if thing to do

We the true fans, we the OG
Why did her breasts grow?

Heh don't take me seriously I just thought it was a funny coincidence that we got She-Broly and a female Ultra Saiyan so close together.
Also that.

I have a half ass design in real life.
Pectoral muscles growing combined with not really being able to draw muscular women well.
Save for #16, all the DBZ androids are actually Cyborgs.
The better question would be why didn't they give her optic implants when they turned her into a cyborg.
And while we're on that, Cell is actually a synthetic biological life form, not an android either.
They seemed to have turned into stylized pecs.

Can't have a FighterZ thread without some people coming to shit on Super, now can we?

Maybe Japan just likes how glasses look?
Persona 4 found a way to make everyone were glasses.
Heck it's implied the main character of 5 doesn't need glasses either.

Her design's fucking great. It's SO iconic and instantly likeable and conveys her distinct personality. She's kind of like Ayla only more aggressive and sure-headed.
Better than anything from Super at least.
Yes, I'm talking about this atrocity.
I much prefer Caulifa and her baggy pants over this new original character. 21 is a pretty solid design though.
Get what?
Child who has never fought a day in his life or experienced extreme emotional pain suddenly achieves Super Saiyan for no reason: (x2)
Edit:
Welcome to Akira Toriyama.

To be fair Super has introduced a fair amount of female characters, at least by Dragon Ball standards.
Their just to new to get in this game.
....
Ever hear of power levels? DBZ literally starts with a 4 year old wimpy boy headbutting the fuck out of Radditz, a man twice the size and three times as strong as his father.
