It wouldn't even be an accomplishment if this game outsold MvC:I.

The only fighting games this might not outsell is MKX and Injustice 2. Actually it could do better than Injustice 2 we'll see.
I think it may outsell SFV even Tekken 7. Also DB Super being popular helps the game for sure.
Paris Games Week is the first week of November, then I think PSX is the only remaining event before the end of the year?
This game has ms marketing tho.

Jump Festa is in December too.
I don't think it does, they've been doing demoing on PS4 recently.
At Japanese events, yes. Western events are typically demoed on Xbox Ones.

I coulda swore the recent western demoing has been PS4.
EDIT: When they brought American and Canadian YouTubers in to play the game back in August it was the PS4 version.
Oh, well I guess you learn something new every day. But wasn't NYCC's build demoed on an Xbox One?

The videos I'm finding are, but that doesn't mean MS has the marketing. If MS got the marketing I really doubt the version that YouTubers were brought into play would have been the PS4 version.
Expect he's SSB
Super Smash Bros.?

I'm glad the developers are following the Smash/Sakurai school of bringing characters with unique/interesting movesets regardless of popularity. From the looks of it, Ginyu kinda controls like Captain Commando in the old MvC games, using the other characters as special moves and Nappa might be like Sentinel.
I like the roster so far, even if I would have liked 17 as a separate character. If they're doing characters with wacky moves I think Gotenks is almost assured at this point. And if we already have Yamcha, there's hope for Mr. Satan.

Ah.
Still, I just want to hear the character interactions between the two, especially since Nappa is supposed to be dead. (Unless if the whole "Wishing everyone back to life on Namek" literally meant all those killed by Freeza and his men being the loophole.)

It seems to be more like they need to add in all the mandatory popular characters, so they make up nutso movesets for them for variety's sake. It's not like they're adding Chichi or some Red Ribbon Army guys.

In regards to whether or not HxH would translate well to a fighting game, here's a really good reddit post that addresses that.
https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHun...eal_hh_fighting_game/?st=j8z0o8y3&sh=d1be8cee
Edit: HxH arguably has some of the best qualities for an arcsys fighter.

Heaven. I could see Arcystems doing a HXH fighter one day. I remember Hunter X Hunter scored #2 on a Koei Tecmo poll on what Manga franchise fans would like to see as a Musou next. HXH is very popular, and the demand is still high for it.

Pretty sure in America it's marketing is on Xbox, which is why it was first shown at Microsoft's press conference

Then why was the version that Namco had US and Canadian YouTubers come play and record videos to upload to their channels in late August the PS4 version?

Both the ps4 and xbox versions were playable at gamescom.
That would make sense, but it kind of feels as though GI didn't get the best reveals when it comes to DBFZ. Maybe they're just saving the best for last?
The question though is if Nappa and Ginya will be ready by then. You can argue that Tien and Yamcha probably will be set by November if they were shown off earlier in Game Informer, but it is difficult to say if they will be shown off outside of a trailer.
As for PSX... I wonder if they would be crazy enough bastards to use PSX to showcase the "Super" characters like how they used Gamescom to show off the SSB Saiyans? It is entirely possible after all since (unless if we get one final trailer in January) it would be the last trailer we would probably get before the game came out in February
in Japan.
Something tells me that if GI got the chance to be the first people to show off Nappa and Ginyu, either they were being held to a rather tight end agreement to not talk about this (even before it was revealed in the scanes) or someone would have blown the lid on it already saying that they got to try out four characters instead of two.
Either way, I'm doubtful if GI got the chance (although I wouldn't mind being proven wrong).
But heres the question, PSX or Jump Fiesta?
Ah. Now that is the fun question to have answered, isn't it?
On one hand, Jump Festa runs Dec 16, 2017 Dec 17, 2017
On the other, PSX runs Dec 9, 2017 Dec 10, 2017
Which event would be more relevant to Dragon Ball FighterZ and showcase any possible new details if they are a week apart? Would it be teased at PSX and then revealed at Jump Festa? Or would it just be shown and playable at PSX and then also playable at Jump Festa with nothing else revealed?
It is difficult to say, but it does make for some fun speculation on what ACS is going to do.

DB is one of Jump's biggest properties. It will 100% have a big presence at Jump Festa. If there's anything at PSX it will just be a new trailer with gameplay of the previous (November) reveals.

That sounds about right honestly.

...or do we get 4 character reveals in December?!?!?!
I think more than 2 is possible/probable for Jump Festa, but I don't see them staggering the reveals across the month. Jump Festa already lines up with roughly the same time in the month when the previous reveals have occurred. It'll be like Gamescom.

I don't think this will be at PSX at all. Jump Festa definitely.

Even if it's not on stage it could still end up being playable at the event.

I'm guessing PGS is probably gonna have a trailer with Yamcha, Tien, Nappa, Ginyu and the new story stuff.

In this post he makes a moveset for the two characters that have had movesets in multiple crossover fighting games.
Then lists a bunch more characters where he concludes multiple times that he has no idea how they would be adapted and balanced for a fighting game
soooooooooooooo
Edit: That said the Tonpa moveset is dope lmao
What did he mean by this?

So Hercule playable or naw?

Beerus will absolutely be in the game and I think Hit and Black are very likely.
I wouldn't be surprised if the DLC is also focused on Super, just like with Xenoverse 2. Movie characters (outside of the inevitable Broly announcement for this game) seem like they'd be more likely in the sequel.
What did he mean by this?
Member
I'm asking if people want him. I do!
Most of the Super characters that have a chance of getting in the base roster would bring a lot of hype to the game. It's very likely we'll see those reveals closer to launch so Bamco can take advantage of the additional hype. They don't need that hype 4 months out.
I'd like to see Mr. Satan, but I'm skeptical he'll make it (even as DLC). Out of the "normal" humans, I think Bulma, Future Mai and maybe Chi Chi have better odds of making it in.

Beerus is almost certainly in the base game, considering how the space arena with Earth in the background was in the reveal trailer of FighterZ. Now, if he gets revealed by himself, or with a Z character then you should worry about the Super cast.

I wouldn't, if Hit and Black are in the game I'd bet they are revealed together, and I wouldn't expect there to be anymore Super characters beyond those 3.
By "introduced in Super", I"m talking more about Hit, Goku Black, and any of the fighters from other universes. Beerus was first introduced in a Z movie, so I didn't count him as introduced in Super. I fully expect Beerus to be in the base roster considering where the story takes place and he was in Extreme Budouken.
