I think its fine, the tone Is way different for a lot of those guys.
The only character that showed up in dragonball that didn't show up in Z that I want is Arale, but that's because she would technically be a crossover character from Dr.Slump. Its the same reason I want Jaco, also because they would both be wacky faust type characters.

Doesn't Arale show up in Dragon Ball Super?
She did.
Yeah, it would be real cool if they rolled deep on the roster with like Blue or Tao Pai Pai or something.
Tao Pai Pai would be awesome. Maybe even put Roshi in the game as Jackie Chun too.
How about they start digging that far when they actually have a complete roster of the most powerful and relevant characters though ?
I'd love for DB to be next before the DBZ movies. But certainly not before the important Z or Super characters.
Certainly not, Roshi is a main character in Super so adding Jackie Chun would ruin that.

OG Dragon Ball would be perfect for an Action/Adventure game with an original story
So does jaco, there are alot of Dragon ball specific characters having them in a game like this seems rather strange, well besides king piccoloo. I'm surprised he's not in more games, he would have VERY interesting dialogue. But outside of that...eh?
Arale and Jaco have the advantage of just being from other works entirely, so them being wierd and out of place is kind of the point. It doesn't represent a giant tone and genre shift, they are essentially guest characters
Kid Goku is my most wanted character by far.
He'd probably have his "headshot" move as a super (the flick to the forehead he uses against SSJ3 Goku), that seems to be his signature moves in the games he's appeared in so far.
That's a specific move with Frieza, you can trigger Sorbet to fire his laser from off-screen a la the Frieza movie.
I'm sure you could do something similar for other characters: Puar for Yamcha, Chaotzu for Tien, etc.

Only if he has tail helicopters and a kamehameha jump
god damn, he used to actually have a really interesting move set
I'm probably the minority here, but it would be cool to see Shinji Hosoe/SuperSweep take a crack at the soundtrack for this game. Super Dragon Ball Z for the PS2/Arcade had a phenomenal soundtrack.

Kid Goku's best move is his rock paper scissors attack.

His fight intro should be him and Whis eating Dessert on deck chairs, and him getting pissed off after his Sunday gets knocked on his face due to the aftershock of the other player powering up.

Not enough combos in here!
Im kinda salty they will make SSJ blue a separate character, so far in the series both Goku and Vegeta haven't shown any specific attack when they go blue, would have rather have them as a transformation or super attack and have SSJ3/4 Goku and SSJ 4 Vegeta/Majin Vegetta as different characters
I'm typically not a fan of the way DBZ games have a million different characters that are just the transformation, but I would be okay with just one variant like this if it's just base Goku and Vegeta and then Blue. It also can keep movesets more varied instead of having everyone have some sort of install move, which out of these 6 currently only Frieza has.
The base one is doing a lot already, doing stuff like SSJ3 in a super and all. Having Blue be a separate character is a more direct way to reference Super instead of confining it to just a move like that, and they have so many potential moves as-is this lets them split some over. Like I don't believe the base Goku has Spirit Bomb, or Vegeta having Galick Gun.
My rooster prediction:
1. Adult Goku
2. Kid Goku(GT)
3. Vegeta
4. Future Trunks
5. Gotenks
6. Gojeta
7. Cell
8. Freezer
9. Piccolo
10. Majin Buu
11. Super Buu/Kid Buu
12. Bardock
13. Android 18
14. Adult Gohan(Super)
15. Kid Gohan
16. Broly
17. Beerus
18. Krilin
19. Hit
20. Black
They could add much more but this is some I think more chances of making it.

If Beerus's knocked down pose ISNT this? Then arcsys messed up.

This would be awesome.
Ditto.
He's also pretty much my only hope for an Oozaru to show up in this game (as a super), so that's another reason why I'd love to see him.
Oh, please use Arale, ArcSys. You know you want to.
Haven't seen that grab before from Cell.

I'd really like to see them on deck chairs outside of Freeza's ship on Namek.
He's SO popular

I hope they clarify whether every character will stay true to the series or whether they're willing to just give some characters random shit so that they can be playable.
Would allow for more female representation besides Android 18, if nothing else.

It looks like they are staying pretty true. So Android 18 and Videl are you best and only real bets here.

I really hope they get rid of useless characters. It's going to be a rather limited roster, so I hope they aim for specific characters. No crap like Radditz/Nappa, Yamcha/Krillin or Ginyu's team.
I'm not against a 15 characters roster, but I want it to be meaningful.
3 key characters per era or so.
Basically, a good roster imo would be:
Goku, Vegeta, Young Gohan, Adult Gohan, Future Trunks, Gotenks, Frieza, Ginyu, Cell, 17, 18, Fat Buu, Kid Buu/Super Buu, Vegito, Janemba, Gogeta.

I would dare to say that we will not have any DBS characters/powers, since the game is inspired mostly by the Z era, apparently (At least initially)
But maybe Bamco wouldn't let the chance to promote DBS with this game drift away, who knows...

There's no way Krillin would get cut, but I agree that a lot of the other stuff is likely to not make it if we're looking at a more limited roster. Then they just need to hit the obvious mainstay characters with one or two from different arcs.
Then it's mostly about what impact Super has on the roster regarding that.

you're out of your mind excluding Krillin

From Super, I'd take Beerus, Hit, Rosé and Fused Zamasu.
No I'm not. I'd take Tien over Krillin anyday. At least, he has its own techniques (Taiyoken, Shin Kikoho). Krillin only exist for the Kienzan... which Frieza already covers in the game.
IMO, this roster must hit the following: Iconic/strong characters, Specific techniques/gameplay and for the last one, specific to Dragon Ball, especially with such good graphics, spectacle.
This game can't afford to have characters which never had a shiny moment in the anime.
