I know its a stretch but i hope gohan gets this alt costume

I don't think we'll be getting alt costumes, but he might get an orange alt color.

 

[Dirtbag]

RIP MAHVEL

 

[Lulubop]

Quoting for new page, got stuck at the bottom. These threads move so fast!

Literally impossible to tell

 

[Jerry]

Do not expect different costumes for the way they do the characters in this. Unless bamco is fronting hella spare workers. Redoing the entire character model from scratch for just about every frame of animation is not worth it

They're 3D models.

 

[BossRush]

So, uh, I didn't see a single throw in there...is this gonna be like Butoden where there's no dedicated throw button?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

This i so damn hype.

 

[raven777]

That Vegeta win pose.

 

[FLAguy954]

it is beautiful!!

I was saying this to myself the whole time. Absolutely spectacular!

 

[LordKasual]

I love how Guilty Gear's Dust attack has been repurposed into the DBZ fly chase...

I am experiencing uncontrollable levels of hype right now.

ASW for GOAT


I never thought i'd see the day that the DBZ artstyle is PERFECTLY (like literally perfectly) captured and implemented into a REAL fighting game

 

[Wonko_C]

Cell can do Dictator's Crouching HK.
Brilliant.

Fitting since both are voiced by Norio Wakamoto.

 

[Momentary]

They're 3D models.

But the way they animate clothing in this would have to be completely redone. Every animation is hand tailored. It's not physics based.

 

[Fandangox]

Is there anything similar to the burst meter from GG?

 

[NightwingRebirth]

and miss the kamehameha
LOL

Yeah! Lmao, I only saw the full gif after posting.

He's looking badass as hell.

He does! It's also kind of sad when you stop and think about how young he is (literally 10 years old, smh), but his perpetual angry face always takes me out of that because it always makes me laugh, lol.

 

[LeleSocho]

Great, time to get into this while I eat breakfast.

Slightly unrelated, but I love how Gohan is just hanging back while Goku does all the hard work, lmao.

He's doing the thing like when countered Cell's "solar system destroyer" kamehameha

 

[BigEmil]

This looks technically much more above Guilty Gear Xrd so this is definitely more demanding

 

[Laurel_McFang]

I guess with Dimps so busy making Street Fighter games Arc System Works is now doing the anime stuff... omg I love this world Arc making tsg team anime fighters. Can they do inu yasha next?

 

[SargerusBR]

You can power up your super meter.

Game looks more and more a mix of MvC and KoF, which is awesome.

 

[CocaMantis]

Yeah, day fucking zero for this motherfucker. Looks amazing, gameplay appears to be great and those 60fps makes it so so smooth.

 

[Skilletor]

They're 3D models.

Read up on the tech used to make Guilty Gear.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Clearly non-canon

 

[Kyleripman]

Literally impossible to tell

Thanks...wasn't sure if it would be comparable to their past releases or anything. Guess I'll see!

 

[WilsonX100]

fuck this is everything i want in a DBZ game. the art style is crazy. looks like insane fun.

 

[SallyIsNow]

The only IP these guys could have made a game with that would have gotten me more hyped is JoJo's.

But this is honestly the next best thing.

Mahgawdd those sound effects, latino dub pls 😂

I don't know which of these I want more

 

[killroy87]

Fuck, this is a good looking game.

 

[BossRush]

I REALLY hope it's not the butoden control scheme of light attack heavy attack special attack. That would kill some of my hype.

 

[NeonZ]

They're 3D models.

The anime-style shading is basically done manually for each animation that changes it though, which is why alternate costumes beyond color swaps would be a lot of work.

 

[V-Faction]

[BADMAN]

Boomchika-ah, Boomchika-ah, Boomchika-ah!

 

[Doc Holliday]

Just give me Trunks and we're good.

Game looks fantastic!

 

[ZeroCDR]

This game is hitting all the right notes for me so far, genuinely hyped!

 

[Sheentak]

I REALLY hope it's not the butoden control scheme of light attack heavy attack special attack. That would kill some of my hype.

Seems to be kick punch Ki attack launcher

 

[Lulubop]

Thanks...wasn't sure if it would be comparable to their past releases or anything. Guess I'll see!

I dunno your specs, and this is on UR4 not 3 like the XRD games.

 

[QisTopTier]

They're 3D models.

Educate yourself Jerry

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I REALLY hope it's not the butoden control scheme of light attack heavy attack special attack. That would kill some of my hype.

It'll most likely be a variant of a BlazBlue or Guilty Gear scheme.

 

[SAB CA]

They're 3D models.

ASW has stated before that the reason there's no alt costumes in XRD is because they're not as easy to animate as normal 3D models. You'd have to basically do what is done for 2D games; re-do every frame of animation to animate the new clothes by hand.

It's not like SFV or Tekken 7 where it's just some physics simulations tossed onto the flowy bits. They'd have to go in and "draw" special linework / model deformation for folds, creases, and to make it all look right from the 2D perspective.

Now, the fact this game doesn't look EXACTLY as refined as GG (and the models are possibly simplier too, especially with 6 unique characters kept in memory for tagging and whatnot) means we could see them simplify the process. But it's still more likely they'll stick to going as far as they can with color / texture swaps, rather than designs that demand entirely new modelwork.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Looks amazing
These 2d looking 3d models are crazy good

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Holy shit this game is HYPE!!!! This is thing is going to be nuts at EVO.

 

[PSGames]

Damn this just blew my mind. I'm a huge DBZ and fighting game fan. Day 1.

 

[Kagari]

Clearly non-canon

I'm laughing because that's the line he says vs. Cell, then proceeds to let him reach his perfect form and gets trashed.

 

[Carl7]

Hype

 

[jwillenn]

Jesus fuck this is so dope. Fucking hell yes yes yes can't wait for this.

The animation for this game's dust is so good holy shit

Dragon Ball FighterZ - XB1/PS4/PC - Gameplay session #1

They got it right in the YouTube title. I wonder if they'll ever edit that game logo xD Btw, I'm in love with this game. Day 1 instabuy.

 

[T.Slothrop]

25 years later, the DBZ game we've always wanted is finally made.

Day one purchase for this 30 something.

 

[The Omega Man]

yeah too bad SS didn't take off more here in the U.S. Been awhile since I've watched SS tho to be honest

It came out too late to the states and heavily chopped and edited, it never had a chance

 

[butman]

Different colors confirmed.

And i love how the clothes and hair is moving in the character select screen.

Looking at this character select screen, looks like we will have around 20 characters max?

LEFT:
Goku
Vegeta
Teen Gohan
Future Trunks
Piccolo
Krillin
Ten
Mystic Gohan
Gotenx
Shin

RIGHT:
Freezer
Cell
Majin Buu
Zarbon
Recoome

[Pie and Beans]

 

[DR2K]

This new Marvel vs Capcom games looks so great. Capcom can't be watching this and feeling good.

 

[Anteater]

Kale or Brolly would be cool

 

[dan2026]

Vegeta not jobbing.

Clearly not canon.

 

[I-hate-u]

[Captain Europe]

This looks so jaw-droppingly good, it looks like an actual anime. Looks like such a blast to play as well.
