Somebody on /r/Kappa measured the screen and figured that it'll fit around 24 fighters, so assuming that I think we'll probably see:

-SSJ Goku
-SSJ Vegeta
-SSJ2 Gohan
-Piccolo
-Krillin
-SSJ Gotenks
-Ultimate Gohan
-Super Saiyan God Goku
-SSB Goku
-SSB Vegeta
-Bardock
-Super Vegito

-Freeza
-Cell
-Fat Buu
-Kid Buu
-Android 16
-Android 18
-Ginyu
-Raditz OR Nappa

16 over 17? Nah.

 

[Obscura]

I have zero interest in DBZ but I will buy this day one. Looks incredible.

 

[Slaythe]

16 over 17? Nah.

He has super saiyan god goku in lol.

They're not gonna have 3 Gokus.

So replace him by 17.

Seems like far too many Gokus. Both literally, and aesthetically.

 

[Lynx_7]

This is the game that might finally push me to get a fightpad. Don't wanna bust my DS4.

 

[delSai]

Man, I wonder if this tech could be used to make a Dragon Ball fighter with the art style more like the original Dragon Ball style, before it got super straight edged anime looking.

I would love another DB game. Not just DB characters in a fighter, but something like Advanced Adventure, which was amazing btw.

Just fully concentrate on Dragon Ball, no Z, no GT, no Super. But that wont happen anyway.

 

[SargerusBR]

Any reason not to assume further SSJ transformations will be just skins? We see that standard Goku is SSJ1 form but his super is SSJ3 form. A Super Saiyan God skin for example would just replace Goku's hair, and his super is him becoming SSJB.

Super Saiyan god isn't in the game I think.

SSB is a separate character. They're only doing that for goku and probably vegeta. See them as "evil ryu and violent ken".

We shouldn't be getting clones again.

I would love transformations to be just skins. But that is a lot of work too. I'd gladly pay $60 extra for transformation skins.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

So I think starting the roster with the Universe 7 team would be a good start for it. Give some references to Super while using all long established characters. So:
Goku
Vegeta
Gohan
Krillin
Piccolo
17
18
Tenshinhan
Roshi
Freeza

So that's ten. Then the major villains:
Cell
Buu
Beerus
Hit
Black

Those last two might be pushing it, but I feel Beerus is a shoe in. So that's 15, now for the rest I'd just like to see:
Yamcha - with some baseball moves
Ginyu - with the Ginyu force as part of the moveset
Gotenks
Mr. Satan
Chi Chi or Bulma or Arale - some kind of unexpected female fighter

That would be a very good 20 imo

Edit: Forgot to separate "teen" and "adult" Gohan, so I'd replace Satan with him.

I think this is the best list I've seen.

There's no way they're not including Broly or Kid Buu/Super Buu though.

This a pretty good roster, but I'm hoping they can squeeze Nappa in there.

 

[kewlmyc]

Cool. Hopefully we get new characters announced at Comic Con and Evo as well.

I don't think it'd be original, creative or fair to players to have Super Saiyan variants taking up roster space. That's annoying and kinda grimey in my opinion. Super Saiyan should just be a state that can be used and consumes portions of your super bar, with each successive level consuming more. This way you can have SSJ1, SSJ2, SS3, SSG, SSGSS/SSB without losing potential characters that play much differently than Goku and the other Saiyans. Buu/Cell/Frieza various forms should follow this logic as well if they are even incorporated into the game. I feel the same way about fusions. There should be a special that can be activated between the selected characters you're playing with. Fusions should consume super bars and be activated by pressing two buttons together.

 

[roflwaffles]

I would hope they do no clones.

SSB Goku literally does nothing different than SSJ Goku other than having Kaioken. It's really only a pallet swap with a different aura, other than that - this just warrants a costume change.

The only character I can see them doing twice is Gohan, one for Cell Games and one for Buu Saga but even then, I wouldn't be too sure that I'd want that.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Looking forward to it.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Here's what I think.

SSJ Goku (SSB transform)
-SSJ Vegeta (SSB transform)
-SSJ Teen Gohan (SSJ2 transform)
-Piccolo
-Krillin
-SSJ Gotenks
-Saiyanman (Ultimate Gohan)
-Future Trunks.
-Super Vegito
-Jaco
-Freeza
-Frost
-Cell
-Fat Buu
-Kid Buu
-Android 17
-Android 18
-Ginyu
-Nappa
-Beerus
-Hit
-SSR Goku Black
-Zamasu
-Roshi (Max Power)

 

[HardRojo]

Give me RoF SSB Vegeta and Vegito please!

 

[ArchedThunder]

Going off of what Slaythe has said and there being space for 24 characters on the css, here's my redo roster prediction.

1. SSJ Goku
2. Blue Goku
3. SSJ Vegeta
4. Blue Vegeta
5. SSJ2 Teen Gohan
6. Ultimate Gohan
7. SSJ Future Trunks (DBZ)
8. Ikari Future Trunks
9. Piccolo
10. Krillin
11. Final Form Freeza
12. 17
13. 18
14. Perfect Cell
15. SSJ Gotenks
16. Fat Buu
17. Kid Buu
18. Beerus
19. Hit
20. Super Vegetto (Blue alt)
21. Rose Black
22. Merged Zamasu
23. Bardock
24. LSSJ Broly

It'd be nice if the base forms for characters like Goku and Vegeta could be alt costumes.

Swap Broly for Tien & Bardock for Roshi and I'm happy. We at least need the entire Universe 7 team.

 

[ArchedThunder]

There's no way Bardock and Boly aren't in this game.
I don't think this game is going to touch the Universe Survival arc outside of DLC anyways.

 

[Neoxon]

There's no way Bardock and Boly aren't in this game.

Then I guess narrow it down to one Future Trunks & ditch Super Vegito.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'll cheer if Bardock isn't in this game

 

[ArchedThunder]

Then I guess narrow it down to one Future Trunks & ditch Super Vegito.

If we're going to have Future Trunks arc representation we better have the main man himself.
Vegetto is popular.

SSB is a separate character. They're only doing that for goku and probably vegeta. See them as "evil ryu and violent ken".

Hmm, so maybe the roster is something like this

Goku
Goku SSB
Vegeta
Vegeta SSB
Gohan
Piccolo
Krillin
Tien
Mirai Trunks
Videl
Mr. Satan
Master Roshi
Raditz
Freeza
Ginyu
Nº16
Nº18
Cell
Dabura
Fat Buu
Kid Buu
Beerus
Zamasu
Brolly

[Kilrogg]

Why is the closed beta for consoles only? Is that common? If so, why?

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Why is the closed beta for consoles only? Is that common? If so, why?

I would guess because most fighting game players buy games on consoles, so they have the healthiest online community usually, while it's not uncommon for PC versions to have a sparse number of players after a couple months (Though hopefully that changes with better quality PC ports of fighting games coming out lately).

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

Here's what I think.

SSJ Goku (SSB transform)
-SSJ Vegeta (SSB transform)
-SSJ Teen Gohan (SSJ2 transform)

Gohan starts directly in SSJ2 (his intro at the beginning of the fight is him transforming), so no

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Gimme that. NOW

Why is the closed beta for consoles only? Is that common? If so, why?

I believe it's common with Bandai Namco ...think it was the same for both Xenoverse betas.

 

[Neoxon]

I know, that's the one Future Trunks to keep. As for the U7 team, it's basically DBZ veterans, anyway.

We already know that this isn't the case. Golden Freeza is an install super and SSJ3 Goku is SSJ Goku's Level 3 super.

Super Saiyan god isn't in the game I think.

SSB is a separate character. They're only doing that for goku and probably vegeta. See them as "evil ryu and violent ken".

We shouldn't be getting clones again.

This would make sense but would make me kinda' sad. I really enjoy the aesthetics of the form. An alternate costume for SSB Goku would be okay with me. I also forgot Trunks, so I'd go ahead and throw Future Trunks in there in place of SSG Goku.

 

[Just_myles]

This game is going to sell metric tons. I'm glad this is at the top of the first page.

Straight into my veins.

That's amazing that's ALL in engine, despite not being able to rotate the camera to see the 3D scene.

Why is the closed beta for consoles only? Is that common? If so, why?

This one's easy. Because if you release on PC, people will hack the game and get a working copy of it. Street Fighter V had this happen to it, had a working copy for the longest time that some players played and mastered

 

[FinKL]

woops double post

 

[Rentahamster]

"give DBZ license to an actual good 2D figthing game studio"

Took 'em long enough.

 

[Sigmaah]

Yep this is the fighter of the century right here, especially after seeing how matches play out.

Shedding tears bois, dreams do come true.

 

[N30RYU]

Is there any info about any kind of story mode?? 'cause the 3v3 won't fit any store mode unless they give the villain 3 life bars...


Also since there isn't a "fly" option per se and they can't get far from each other do you think that we'll have button smashers super clashes?

 

[Slaythe]

They can rotate the camera.

In guilty Gear you have replays where you can move the camera, and also digital figure where the characters look perfect from all angle.

It's just that some animations and effect are using "illusions" and would be fake in 3D but they've tried to have less of those.

 

[ArchedThunder]

No news yet, but I doubt they don't have some sort of story mode.

 

[Azull]

This looks freaking amazing! This is the DBZ fighting game I've wanted for such a long time.

 

[N30RYU]

To be true... I thought that the Guilty Gear games nowadays were still being 2d render sprites of 3d models...

Testament to their painstaking process. The game literally looks 2D to people.

 

[N30RYU]

Probably will be Goku and Vegeta Blue. They won't announce Piccolo or Yamcha like the best thing ever on famitsu with the show airing.

They could go with Caulifla SS2 or Kale (Broly mode) if they wanna make huge impact.

In GG if you do the flashier moves and finishers the camera will rotate during gameplay.

They can rotate the camera, actually.

some of the shots require a specific camera angle though, because of the way they animate the characters. (For instance, I can tell that the mid-fight character intros where they clash is probably like that). They distort the models for dramatic effect in ways that ONLY look good from that specific angle.

But 90% of the graphics work in a 3D environment, just like in Guilty Gear.


What would really be amazing is a replay studio feature that lets you create dramatic camera angles from replays to make it look like the anime

 

[Slaythe]

Oh wow they have a manga color and a black and white color for the characters.

That's pretty sick.
