Hahaha, of course they're in. They're classics.

From Kagari.

Ohhh shit!

I believed in Yamcha.

 

[Rhaknar]

Yamsha lol awesome.

An assist character, meaning what? He's part in Tien's moves or are they making MvC1 style assist only characters?

 

[Spman2099]

From Kagari.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my team!

I am learning this game. I am mastering this game. I am going to slaughter all the haters that slobber all over Vegeta.

 

[Lifejumper]

Need deets on the costumes.

 

[lucebuce12]

Yamsha lol awesome.

Tien's assist will probably just be Chiaotzu showing up and blowing himself up.

But it could be a 17/18 situation.

 

[Rentahamster]

Yamsha lol awesome.

Possibly an assist for Tenshinhan, like how 17 helps out 18.

Please please please let me command Chaotsu to suicide himself lol.

 

[J4g3r]

Going to guess it's Saiyan Saga Yamcha/Tien.

Bandit Yamcha would be asking for too much.

 

[Zalman]

Wow, didn't expect Yamcha. Neat.

 

[Spman2099]

Looking forward to those screens...

 

[Ganyc]

and a new android:

Bandai Namco revealed a new original female character for Dragon Ball FighterZ designed by Akira Toriyama named “Android 21.” [Thanks, Ryokutya2089.]



We’re still waiting for a scan or first look, but Android 21 is described as a busty scientist with glasses and long bushy hair, who looks like she’d appear in a Tales of game. Her voice actress remains unknown.

[Rhaknar]

Original? Err I'm not sure how I feel about that :/

 

[Spinosaurus]

lol thats pretty funny in retrospect.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

That's one way to get more female fighters I suppose.

It makes sense that they would essentially have to make their own female characters... but this sounds awful.

Whatever, Yamcha and Tenshinhan made it. Allow all the knockoff Tales trash in.

 

[J4g3r]

Future Mai with a Shotgun and a Trunks Mafuba assist.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Original? Err I'm not sure how I feel about that :/

They did the same thing with Persona 4 Arena, it's not unprecedented.

Though, idk if they needed to do this here since they have Towa to use if they needed original female characters, but hey, not complaining.

"designed by Akira Toriyama"

 

[Lifejumper]

Every leaked roster deconfirmed lol.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Are there actual scans of these characters, or are these just rumors?

I'm also not a fan of "guest" characters in other games. I'm always left with the feeling "you could have added another actual franchise character" :/

Not a deal breaker obviously lol.

Also I don't care about Persona 4 so I couldn't tell you who the original character was

 

[lucebuce12]

busty scientist

I'm in.

glasses and long bushy hair

I'm so fucking in.

who looks like she’d appear in a Tales of game

I'm maining this character.

 

[Spman2099]

"designed by Akira Toriyama"

Which is like the Nintendo Seal of Quality from back in the day...

>_>

 

[KingBroly]

They need to add Chi-Chi if they're putting Yamcha in

 

[sleverfunk]

I'm in.

I'm so fucking in.

I'm maining this character.

ASW knows whats up. papa bless.

Labrys wasn't awesome, but she definitely wasn't bad at all. I think this new character will be interesting from a gameplay perspective.

They need to add Chi-Chi if they're putting Yamcha in

Yamcha should have been a lock just based on his unique move set. Beyond that, he also has a pretty storied history with the series... Haters are going to get crushed.

Prepare to hear this.

A lot.

I'm already hearing it.

Too late.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

Does it say whether this android 21 or whatever is playable? Maybe she's just a story mode character?

 

[Zalman]

I can't imagine them having Toriyama design an original female character and then not making her playable.

 

[DiscoShark]

Why didn't they just use Bulma if they wanted a scientist?

 

[Balfour]

I am fine with it really. It is no big deal. Par for Namco and ASW really

 

[RocBase]

Why didn't they just use Bulma if they wanted a scientist?

Maybe she's an antagonist?

 

[Lifejumper]

So we at 16 characters right now?

 

[Spinosaurus]

Maybe she's an antagonist?

That's what I'm thinking. None of the canon antagonists make sense for the premise of the game's story. There's the games exclusive villain Towa who Namco usually use if time traveling is involved, but evil Androids? Yeah, I can see it.

EDIT: Well there's Gero, but he's indirectly involved here and there's no way he'll be playable lol.

Well I'm sure some would argue to have Gero over an original....lol

 

[Balfour]

With how they are wanting characters to stand where they do in terms of power from the story, I gave up long ago for people like Bulma or ChiChi. I am i terested to be sure

 

[lucebuce12]

Android 21 is gonna be an anti-hero.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Kaioshin Realm confirmed as a stage

 

[cordy]

Proud of Yamcha for being included. Figured Tien would be as well. This new android was unexpected but I'm glad to have a new character who ties into the story.

Scientist lady? Welp, Bulma deconfirmed

 

[Spinosaurus]

17 died for this.

 

[lucebuce12]

Good.

 

[Moraizen]

I always find it so weird when some people take a negative stance at the introduction of original characters in this kind of game. If this was Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or KOF, everyone would usually accept a newcomer with open arms.

I'm guessing it's because of it being based on a well established manga/anime?

Either way, I personally can't wait to lay my eyes on her, this game REALLY is in need of a few more ass-kicking ladies.

Also, regarding Tien, bless Arc System Works for doing the work that the DB Super team isn't willing to do... I'm loving it!

 

[oneida]

punishing super dash with 2H

 

[Scotia]

Good.

lmao
