It's kinda impossible to avoid with a series like this.I know I was fooling myself but I really hoped there would be no "clones"
hopefully they play differently enough to the normal Goku and Vegeta, but still

Guys, Arc System Works is no stranger to having multiple versions of characters
Blazblue has 4 versions of Noel Vermilion on its roster. Edit: SORRY there are FIVE versions of Noel now
It has 3 versions of Yuuki Terumi
2 of Jin
2 of Tsubaki

It's a fighting game story where they need to incorporate nearly every mainish character and villain into one story. This is the best you're going to get without resorting to boring retellings of the same stories we've seen over and over again.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
It is what it is but we'll see. If 17 is in the game then that's great as my original list has him included and the more the better. I hope I'm wrong so let's hope we get some resolution to this. I just wouldn't be surprise to hear them say "he's not in because we saw that 17 was returning in DBS so we've decided to skip out on him so there's only 1 version of him which uses all of his moves."
I don't see 2 17s in a future game is all but we'll see.
Speaking of which, anyone know how much DLC ASW games usually provide?
I mean... the game will have the best any DB character model you have ever seen in a game :3

What's easier? He's making a joke I think
Most of those characters he's referring to in blazblue are the same character only in regards to the storyline
Within the context of the game they're completely unique characters with completely different attacks and models/sprites and names lol
Generally Arc games have never really included 'clone' characters ever really. The only example I can think of is are Nu-13 and Lambda-11. The latter of which was created to replace the former after they died in the storyline, but eventually both characters returned in sequels as variations of each other
Poster was just joking because a lot of characters in BB are technically the same person but different depending on story circumstances due to cloning, time travel shenanigans, etc. One one of them is a sprite clone similar to what we got with the Blues and only one is a heavy re-purposing of an older sprite.

Wonder if it's true, i would be fine with it, especially bandit yamcha

Calling fake.

lol as much as i'd love it if bandit yamcha showed up, i'm not buying that leak at all
Ok, if Videl and Yamcha made it in over 17 I'm going to be pissed.
haha this is such BS.

Found a better translation of the leak. Only part I think is fishy are the costumes. Everything else though I think could happen, except Caulifla. I think Kale and Caulifla would be one character slot. Adult Gohan and Videl though I think are guaranteed characters.

The leak calls Tienshinhan "the strongest human".
It's fake.

It actually doesn't say that at all, the translation just says that. The Kanji is 最強 which is Saikyo and just means best. You can translate that as Strongest though but the actual Kanji for strong is 強い. They sometimes just plain say strongest in english sometimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHJ-sXTydLo
Leak might still be fake but its not cause of a translation, the part that looks fake is the fact that it claims the game will have costumes.

Kale and Caulifla being there makes it seem very, very fake. I really doubt the game will launch with any characters past the Future Trunks arc.
34 characters also seems a bit high.

For a 3v3 fighter? Even a lot of the older KoFs hit the 30 character mark
That had a lot of returning characters / coming from other games.
I also have a hard time believing both Caulifla and Kale would be in the base game and not one of them (at least) DLC.
Not to mention giving 17 the finger while going all out with the ToP characters and even giving 18 her costume seems very wrong.

Many 3v3 fighters that are built from the ground up and still managed to hit 30 characters, not all KoFs just reuse assets from the previous one. I think 30 is the right amount for 3v3 just for variety's sake. If it was less than 30 for DBFZ we would have most of the roster revealed already with still a ways to go.
Like what games ? Do they have the production values and single player stuff + online modes and lobbies like DBZ is getting ?

It takes longer to make a character in Arcsys' 3D style.

Over 34 characters at release seems waaay too optimistic. Calling fake.

Vanilla Marvel 3 instantly comes to mind, KoFXI and KoF99 as well. Pretty much I really don't think we'll be getting less than 30 for this game. They also said they were only 20% complete with just 6 characters, if taken literally then it could mean we will be getting around 30 characters on launch.
ArcSys has full Bandai Namco support this time around and they aren't building their shader engine from the ground up like they did with Xrd. Trunks was just announced at the end of Jun, its only Mid-August and we've gotten six more characters since him. At this rate we'll probably hit right around 30 by release.

Thanks for the clarification.
However, seriously talking, this is the least of this leak's issues.
34 characters are just way too much. MvCI will have 30 Characters at launch, and most of those are pulled directly from MvC3.
The inclusion of Caulifla and Kale is so weird since it implies they knew about ToP, which makes the absence of 17 more baffling.
Also as you said, costumes just aren't worth it.
I call bullshit. (although I wish for it to be true)
Lol. Cabba getting the 17 treatment he deserves. They legit need Kale and Caulifla to balance out the rooster.
Preorder costumes alone are ridiculously suspect. Only one character ever got an alt in GG Xrd so offering 4 as preorder bonuses seems strange.
I wonder if they intend to have all their females "helped" by guys.
Kale's a one woman army.
She looks like a guy so she gets a pass, am I right ? Great design philosophy o/ . I can already see the great saiyaman punch when Videl is low on health.

that leak smells like bs but the roster size isn't the reason
the main thing that sticks out is costumes, and not even just one, but four? lol
the roster actually makes sense given the context of the leak, if the actual roster has 34 characters i would expect all of the fighters listed to be in
i don't think kale means no broly, not now that she has a ssj form that doesn't look exactly like broly.
but yea, fake leak is fake

34 with costumes is way too much by far. The Costumes really break it. I could see 34 if the game releases in June or July next year but realistically right around 30 is what will happen especially considering the rate we've been getting official reveals. We had 7 characters revealed in only a month and a half.
Unless if Bamco is working on the costumes separately from ArcSys, that'd be the only way I could see costumes even remotely happening on launch. I know Bamco loves pushing stupid amounts of DLC in their games, especially ones based on anime.
If they're going heavy on the fan service like they've been seemingly doing for the last few months we've seen this game, then sure, I can buy it that some characters can get costumes.
Bamco are probably bankrolling this game a lot more than Guilty Gear. I can see this getting some extra treatment, especially since its clear this is going to be an aggressively competitive game in the market.
