Don’t think they can use assets from a 3DS game... pretty sure they rebuild the characters from scratch.

Maybe asset recycling is not the proper term, but they are certainly going to use the characters' archetype, strategies and animations from that game as reference.
 
Recoome is in the shot as an assist character
Za Warudo from Guldo + Body Swap at the last minute = Good character

I wonder if they're adding these loser guys for character variety? They've all seemed to have pretty unique move sets whereas the first 5 were pretty similar.
 
Gotta lower the hype before they drop those Super characters. 😏 Actually like the choices tho, very interested to see them in action (say this for every character to be honest).

I'm sad to see Tapion in Xenoverse 2 but not (yet) in this

I think the only movie character with a safe spot is Broly

So far the roster is still as I predicted, meaning we should still get 5 more Z characters and the 3 obvious Super Characters

Gotenks,Ultimate Gohan,Kid Buu,Broly,Beerus, Hit,Black

The other 1 I don't know, could be Roshi
 
I foolishly thought this game would be more focused on Super when it was first announced. Don't know why I got that impression, but I do feel like it's a missed opportunity to make it feel like a fresh start for the new anime.

I'm very happy it's more focused on Z. This game has been a long time coming. z fans need this, don't feel too bad, I'm sure super will have plenty more games too.

Probably Bardock he was in extreme butoden
 
Nappa is IN.

ATTENTION: NAPPA IS IN.

Who said he was never coming?

Worst case scenario, they have the easiest lay up in the world by naming the inevitable slight upgrade arcsys sequel "Super Dragon Ball Fighterz" and adding Jiren, Hit, Black, etc

I don't really get why the "I'm a Z fan and this pleases me" elitism is a thing

It's literally impossible to like Super or GT without loving Z to death.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Nah don't lump me with Z-wunners, I think Raditz, Broly and Bardock are trash. I just am dumbfounded when people say "Nappa and Ginyu are bottom of the barrel".
 
My taste in DBZ is weird. Frieza and Mr Buu aside I've never been big on the big hitter characters. (and even the latter isn't as popular as the other two versions I guess lol)

My favourite is the original Dragon Ball, but I'm very partial to the Saiyan and Namek saga, so Yamcha, Nappa and Ginyu are the hypest reveals so far for me lol. The only other characters that got a shot that I'm excited for are Beerus and Hit.

Tbh. Its a small minority. Here on GAF DB Super had 9 official threads and its still going. Hell episode 109-110 garnered over 100 pages.

come on, we're seeing the same old 5 or 6 people spamming Super threads with bullshit theories that are proven false every damn Sundays... ( of course it's an hyperbole but there is a core super fans that are spamming thread for real )...

I think Nappa is pretty boring, hell the entire point of Nappa was to look like a generic buff bad guy just to have Vegeta turn out to be the real threat.

Ginyu with his whole force? No fucking way, they're amazing.

When I said it, "Super fans" were absolutely annoying with their garbage characters, guess I was right ; )
I can understand why people don't like Super's characters.

But shit, I remember talking to dudes about having Nappa in with Saibamen (while he was in EB) and Ginyu with the Ginyu Force (while he too was in EB) and I was repeatedly told that they wouldn't be in because "the game doesn't have Goku in base form so it doesn't start there" and that there's too many slots. Seeing them in the game now is great to me because they're iconic DB villains.

Given the slots, it's obvious they go above guys like Hit.
