Dragon Ball FighterZ (PC/XB1/PS4, BN/ASW, UE4, early 2018, beta Sum 2017) E3 trailer

If we get Future Trunks I hope they put the Super version in the game so that he can have his rage transformation.

Also If they don't put Roshi in and have his buff form as his level 3 transformation then someone fucked up. Same with Tien and the four witches.
 
Oh my gaaaawd, that looks amazing. I didn't much like DBZ but this game announcement convinced me to try and give Super a watch.

So uh, since i generally like female characters in my fighting games, which ones can i expect here? Basically just 18? =/

Mayyybe videl or chichi but yeah DBZ is a huge sausagefest. At least super is diversifying a bit.
 
Maybe it's possible that you can trigger whether you want to transform OR do a big attack for 3 bar move?

I mean the biggest evidence against it is we've been shown Gold Frieza plenty now, yet no Blue. Its possible its gonna get added to those characters later, but its more likely I think we're getting clones.
 
Looking over the gameplay:

* I think it's interesting that when a character is downed, it's treated as a round and resets to neutral. Marvel fans may not like the absence of an incoming mix-up.

* Assists are very familiar to Marvel ones. Goku's Kamehameha looks like Doom beam, Vegeta and Cell have Cold Star/Weasel Shot type assists. Gohan has what looks like a Marvel 2-esk DP assist. I swear I saw it eat an attack. Didn't get a clear look at Freeza's and I'm not sure Buu was ever called in those vids... maybe I missed it?

* When characters are tagged in they come with flying and it appears like you have control and making contact is an attack. I bet if you whiff that, you're gonna eat a ton of damage.
 
Just looks fucking insane. You can see ASW used Guilty Gear Xrd as a rough template for this, and it's definitely benefited the game's presentation and combat.
 
Female Characters:

Bulma (fights with capsules)
Chi Chi (23rd world tournament version)
Videl
Android 18
Caulifla
Kale
Vados
Arale (Dr. Slump)

Guest characters from Guilty Gear, Tekken or Naruto.

It's the pink blast in the beginning of this gif.

If the final character list goes up to DB Super, there're also Caulifla, Kale and Vados.

The current arc has introduced several new female characters but they might be a little too new for this game, at least for the base lineup.

Yeah, none of those characters are making it into the roster. Vados wouldn't get in ahead of Whis, and the others don't have nearly enough reference material to base a character on.

Though we haven't seen Frieza use his giant death ball either. Could be possible that we just haven't seen Frieza use his cinematic super and we haven't seen Goku & Vegeta use their transformation.
 
"give DBZ license to an actual good 2D figthing game studio"

truly this was rocket science that took yers to figure out. Now to wait 20 more years for a One Piece one.

Anyway, those gameplay videos show that the game really is Marvel, which is ridiculous because it looks almost like in reaction to Infinite, but clerly the game has been in development much longer so it cant be that...

...but it sure looks like its that lol :D
 
Best bet's probably joke characters. Bulma and/or Chichi.

When Super Dragon Ball Z tried to have a varied roster they went with Videl and Chi Chi. I could see Videl making it in, but I have no expectations for Bulma or Chi-Chi - neither has enough to base a fighting game character on, really.

Again, its possible. But that the trailer and those guys just didn't use them, its more likely those forms are just not on those characters imo.

Thing is, Videl doesn't really have enough either, imo. Personally, I'd be most interested in what asw dreams up for Chichi. But all 3 are possible.

If it's going to be a small roster at launch, i rather have unique characters.

Right there with you on that.
 
The battle resets position after someone goes down like in KoF?

Eww...

Given that unlike KOF, we can still tag in people, I think this is a decent compromise.

Marvel had some really disgusting mixups on incoming, not to mention a flat out unblockable on incoming by one character.
 
"Looks like combos may be hella easy?"

I mean, at a base level, Marvel combos are pretty easy, there's a ton of leniency with hitstun. However, it's that leniency that lets people figure out even more optimized (and challenging) combos.

Freeza's assist looks to be a giant explosion shown in the above gifs of Buu just before he lays on the smackdown on Goku.

Buu's assist might be a mini version of his super.

There is hope for One Piece. Arc System Works did "Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden" on 3DS before Dragon Ball FighterZ and on 3DS they also did "One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum".They already worked on both franchises. So if it is a succes why not a One Piece fighter after that on consoles and PC.

Because 3DS ≠ consoles and PC and One Piece ≠ DBZ.
 
Ok looking closer at some footage this is 100% a fully ​fleshed out Extreme Butoden. Like there's a lot of animations from that game here and even the "wall bounce to Ki Dash" looks incredibly similar
