I mean, that is about as diverse an arrangement of the Androids as you can get.
As much as Android 17 is cool, eye lasers and energy absorptions is cool too, especially in the context of a video game. And it's different to what other characters can offer.
I'd like to see Dr. Gero, for instance. There's a lot that's unique about him as a character within Dragon Ball.
But why does everything has to be about diversity lol ? This is a proper fighting game, that means the variety comes from how the characters play. 17 has a unique body type compared to the other males in the game, and he also has a great defensive tool (that could be great for assist), and has high mobility with flips and dodges, that other characters don't have.
In a 3D game where you desperately need "super special moves", sure, but in a 2D game where you need to focus on neutral, baiting, etc... ? 17 is a gold mine.
Also, the point is kinda playing cool and awesome characters, and also the fans favorite.
Nobody has 19 as their actual favorite character.
Id laugh pretty hard if we got 19 instead of 17.
Thinking bout getting into super, how far approx until 17 comes in? 3/4s of the way through?
And I gotta watch BOTG, some filler episodes (cant remember which), then ROF, and then begin after that right?
Check the DB Super OT, there's a guide. The new arc started at episode 77 and 17 showed up 10 episodes later.
I expect that they will make characters like 17 DLC, but there is also the chance they just don't include characters post-ROF. In that case I could see them not having 17 in the game.
I'm pretty excited for this game, looks amazing and it's been a while since I played a fighting game so this should be fun.
They will have characters past ROF. They already have Kaioken blue too so that's a pretty big hint.
