Oh please be good. Haven't played a DB game in what feels like ages and this looks like a beauty.

!! This is a dream collaboration... This may be the first fighting game I really invest free time and effort into bettering myself at. I can't wait for more.

Man wth one of the e3 streams had a picture of dbf and I thought I was missing some trailer. I was so excited. Oh well hopefully tomorrow it will be pretty early reveal.
The rumors are is that it's getting revealed at Sony's press conference
Hahaha first thing I thought of after seeing this in DBS today was 'Who is going to use this as their avatar first.'
I should have known!

With the current arc, Roshi has actually fought in two arcs of Dragonball Super. I wonder if that will finally convince developers to start including him. His presence in Revival F by itself seemed to be mostly ignored by the games.
That's the problem with Z wanking, if it's not main character from Z their progress never counts

I feel like one of the big reasons he gets ignored is because he can't fly.
Honestly does anyone really care if they let Roshi fly in the games despite not knowing how to in the series though? I don't give a shit if it's not totally accurate, I just want to play as him.

Are they actually gonna make the game competitive?

Apparently that is the plan, yes.
Again, ASW also did Extreme Butoden which was pretty sub-par. Same graphics as Xrd doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the same combat designer/director.
I hoping we'll get a different result this time around considering it's a high budget, console 3v3 fighter as opposed to a low budget, handheld exclusive fighter.
Either way, people will be much more willing to give it a shot than they gave Extreme Butoden.
m-muh canon!
This problem has been solved by just giving the characters a Jet pack
Also, you could reasonably assume that since the size of the arena is probably not going to be that huge, that non-flying characters could be practical.

Extreme Butoden was a fairly low-budget quick and easy 3DS game. It's evident that at no point ASW was designing a competitive fighter, just a quick and easy handheld game.
The fact is that they have 20 years of history making solid fighters when they decide to make a competitive-grade fighting game. There's no guarantee it's going to be good, but Extreme Butoden isn't what anyone should use as a base for their expectations.

Roshi can just use his turtleshell.
There's a pretty big difference between a simple handheld game and the work that will need to be put in for this game. Knowing how Arcsys continually refines their main fighting games and that they are using the time consuming tech behind Xrd that will make models that can last, makes it seem less likely to me that they will half-ass this.
Anything could happen, but using Extreme Butoden over the many fighting games that the company is centered around as the main example of what to expect is silly.
Agreed.
By the game's first major expansion, I'm hoping for much more Super stuff. More unique fighting styles, while also utilizing older characters in an interesting way = stuff that would make for a much more interesting roster than Z characters again.
Besides, Xenoverse has Z covered, along with some GT and Movie stuff.

If Yamcha makes it in, I want the wolf angle of wolf fang fist to really be expounded on if the devs have freedom to do things like that. Maybe his stance and the way he punches and kicks can be tied to a wolf-like fighting style. Anything to set him apart in a neat way. Hoping for his his Super outfit or at least his android arc hair if they go with his traditional red gi.

Would it be a bit too early to expect a playable build at E3?
Nah man, baseball themed moveset. Either base him on Junpei from Persona Arena or give him "baseballs" as a stand-in for Johnny's coins and let us level up Wolf Fang Fist.
That said I don't quite expect him to be playable and I don't expect him to have a baseball themed moveset if he does.

I've been replaying Extreme Butoden since the announcement, but this time on the Citra emulator with unlimited frame rate. I can see how this game would be too simple for some, but at ~90 fps it's pretty damn fun and feels totally different than on 3DS. Not the ideal way to play, but a bit of crazy fun. Somewhat representative gif:
