SSB Vegeta

Already know Gohan will be my anchor! That is, if I can get over his intro lol.

 

[Fj0823]

We need fit Buu

 

[ArchedThunder]

Butoden looks so "Super artstyle". So glad they're going for that Z look for the characters in this game.

Extreme Butoden doesn't match Super's art style, it's art from a guy who does tons of promo art for the series and has a very unique and weird style.

 

[Magnet_Man]

I want Janemba & Broly so I can pair them with Cell to make Team Scream.

 

[FadedRevolution]

 

[ornery]

Well deserved. This game has brought joy to many, many people.

 

[Shin]

Rightfully so.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Well-deserved. Game of the Show by far imo... She and the teams bringing this game to life really get it. That's going to go a long way into making this game the success it will undoubtedly be.

 

[RedEther]

Best game of E3 without a doubt

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

1. Launch
2. Giran
3. Shula
4. Bacterian
5. Arale
6. Bulma
7. Kid Goku
8. Mercenary Tao
9. Piccolo
10. Vegito
11. Kid Buu
12. Ultimate Gohan

All I need, but the rest are extra.

 

[Remapped88]

Well deserved! Never thought that a DB fighting game would be one of the most stand out titles at E3! ASW doing fantastic work and they deserves all the praise they get for making such a awesome looking game. I hope this is really successful for them!

Hope to get Hit, Janemba, 17 and Launch in the future so I can mix/match them alongside Vegeta!

What amazes me most, is the reception, despite 31 years of Dragon Ball video games, most of which garnered below-average reviews, people are not only giving it a chance, but giving it their Game of the Show vote and demanding to see more. That's what's telling me that this game is going to be a success, because the game has to be special to climb that uphill battle and win people over the way it already has since being announced just days ago.

[Lynx_7]

So I know nothing about Dragon Ball with exception to the limited Saltybet knowledge, and this game looks fucking sick, so I'm gonna watch DBZ Kai. 8 episodes in. Vegeta and Nappa just showed up.

I want Broly to be a grappler.

Another one skips OG Dragon Ball. I weep every time D:

It lacks this guy who promised to come back and never did

Hiroki-Hime is actually my Jesus.

 

[Lynx_7]

Deserved. Still can't believe we live in a reality where a DBZ game is actually generating hype outside of its usual fanbase.

85+ Metacritic let's go!

 

[SpiceMelange]

If they ever release a Dragon ball DLC pack (because no way they'd ever be in the base roster)

I'd want:

Colonel Silver

Murasaki

Tao Pai Pai

Tambourine

Ox King

I put Ox King over Giran because I want a bit hitbox character but Buu pretty much stole Giran's gimmick attack.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

I mean Buu also stole the turn people into food gimmick too

 

[SpiceMelange]

I don't remember that. Giran had that?

Instead of carrots its chocolate now

 

[Kagari]

Bring back Silver.

Best DB villain, I assume.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Ssj4 Goku, vegeta, and gogeta are the only characters from GT that anyone should want...

Everything else can burn in a dumpster fire.

 

[SpiceMelange]

Also!

Yeah there's so many great characters, I tried to limit myself to 5 for an hypothetical DLC pack.

Also now that I think about it I'm not sure how DB characters would fit this game's pursuit homing attack thing, the launcher attack and the ki charge mechanic.

Well atleast king piccolo will fit in

haha nah they'd be super out of place but they were really cool in its time. Good time to remember them but this about DBZ shining.

 

[New002]

My game of E3. Huge props to all involved.

 

[SupaNaab]

Are there any DBZ characters that lend themselves to fighting game archetypes?

For example: grapplers (like Zangief?), puppet/summon (like Carl Clover? Rosalina?), random item/luck (Faust or Hsien Ko), damage-over-time (like FANG? Arakune?), etc.

 

[cordy]

If they ever release a Dragon ball DLC pack (because no way they'd ever be in the base roster)

You might wanna rethink that after that IGN interview.

When the guy brought up that it's called "FighterZ" and the fact that Super's new, that there's DB and GT (basically asking if it's Z exclusive), they said while they can't go into details on the character roster, they want all fans of all DB eras to collude on the platform. So it sounds like they're hitting every single series. We'll probably get mostly Z characters but a few from the other series as well.

Just makes me wonder what the roster size will be.

I think it's down to people wanting a 2D DBZ fighting game on consoles which hasn't happened since Boudakai 3 which released...

*googles*

Two thousand and fucking four!! It was that long ago!? No wonder people have been blowing their load over all this that's 13 goddamn years if you've never bothered with the 3D arena fighters AND it's going to be mechanically sound because of ASW's pedigree.

if only because he made his lackeys wear rabbit ears

I don't think there's any character that was very defined by grabs and throws but I think Broly could fit the role nicely. He's a very aggressive monster of pure rage, I could see him chucking people around. Hyper DBZ has a puppet/summon archetype with Babidi which works really well, he's a small impish magician that can exert his will upon other. Frost from Super has poison darts for damage over time.

 

[NoKisum]

Someone please put Launch in the Who% tier.

Super DBZ 2006, Burst Limit 2008 and Infinite World 2009 came out since then, but i agree its been too long still.

You want grappling and throws? why look no further than Super Android 13

Spoiler

Super Android 13 sucks

Broly can easily be adapted into the grappler type.
Gotenks could be the Jack-O of the roster with his ghosts.
Hercule being random luck based with random stuff out of his back pack.
Poison type, I can only think of two characters from from Super and one of those 2 would look like a Frieza clone oh and a Saiberman with it's acid... *shudders*

Nappa could work as a grappler AND a summoner. He's a big buff dude who can plant Saibamen, and they could act like minions who could attack or attach themselves and explode. There's also Broly and Android 16. For DOT two Super characters in mind use poison.

I doubt we'll be getting any complex archetypes though. If Nappa gets in he'll either be a grappler or just a tank.

I think they should make gotenks have some crazy random gimmick.

Hyper DBZ has a puppet/summon archetype with Babidi which works really well, he's a small impish magician that can exert his will upon other. Frost from Super has poison darts for damage over time.

They realized Broly into a very nice grappler into Zenkai Battle Royale. If he's mandated to be in, I really hope Arc emphasizes that part of his character. Hell, ZBR has some of the most interesting, yet still on-point takes on Dragon Ball character playstyles. They even have Nappa planting Saibamen as "proximity bomb" traps!

 

[Rice-Eater]

I think they should make gotenks have some crazy random gimmick.

Kamikaze ghost clones?

As for Gotenks I feel like he should start matches already in SSJ3. It's his signature look IMO and that's how he should look most or all of the time.

 

[FadedRevolution]

you know what would be a great way to promote this game is to have a twitch stream like they did for power rangers. Would be amazing.

what about my mans spine getting snapped like a twix doe
