To be fair, 16 also wasn't used that much outside of the Android/Cell Saga.

D: I didn't even think about that with Roshi! RIP Muten Roshi-sama, but I really like that idea for Zamasu as his Gate of Babylon-like attack would make for a really neat assist!
Same.
Two reasons, for me.
One, he was in Extreme Butoden. If he has a model rigged up somewhere on Arc's end that was the basis for his sprites that were created for that game, maybe that could increase his chances.
Two, he's another "big body" character. Besides 16 and Broly (who was also in EB), we could use at least one more to make sure there's enough representation of this type of character archetype in this game.
I mean, until we get deeper into Super material and characters like Magetta and Botamo are possibilities, Arc might as well work with what already is readily available.

Yeah and it sucks.
They could program a specific animation for him but I doubt they will.
The problem with Roshi is that there's a homing mechanic (Dragon Rush), so I don't really know how they'd tackle that. They could give him Kame (the sea turtle) as a propeller, but it might end up looking a bit too ridiculous, who knows? I'd love to see him in too, dude should learn to fly soon.
Made a quick prediction roster
Labrys = 21.
For some reason, I feel like Yamcha's portrait would be one of the various times when he got Yamcha'd. Otherwise, not a bad layout.

Anyone else fill out the beta survey that came out today? I think level 3 supers shouldn't scale as much at the end of combos. I also think that with the limited assist, some should have more unique properties. Maybe have more powerful assist that cost 1 bar of meter. Everything else was pretty good for the most part.

Yea I filled it out a good opportunity to air out your grievances with the game little or big.

Shit forgot about that.
I did say they should include a stand alone 17.
I got you Slaythe.
I worry for Slaythe since the A21 reveal
nothing from that Sony TGS thing I take it?
guess we need to wait for TGS proper.
dude I saw that, wtf...

Ha, I did the same. Slaythe's evangelizing was effective. When I watched Super and really enjoyed all the scenes with 17, I wasn't sure if it was because they were great or because Slaythe had brainwashed me...
Stand Alone 17 would make this game an instant buy for me.
I swear this is my last prediction xD
Dragon Ball FighterZ roster prediction:
Good guys:
Goku
Goku Blue
Vegeta
Vegeta Blue
Gohan Teen
Trunks
Piccolo
Crilin
Tenshinhan
Yamcha
Ultimate Gohan (?)
Gotenks (?)
Villains/Neutrals/Antagonists:
16
18
Freezer
Cell
Majin Bu
Kid Bu (?)
Broly (?)
Nappa (?)
Ginyu (?)
Black Goku (?)
Hit (?)
Beerus (?)
It's 12 characters per faction. I think that's a likely cast and I admit that I'll end up disappointed if this won't be the final cast 😆

Yeah, it's super level dependent. So a level 1 will cancel a level 1, but it won't beat a level 3, etc.
Interestingly, beam supers like Burning Attack that normally hit once will take on multi-hit properties when beam clashing to mitigate the damage of beam attacks. Had this happen to my Solar Kamehameha during the beta.

I know you already know this but for the sake of reminding you, there are references to the Goku Black arc all over this game. Ergo Magetta and Botamo are already fair game. Granted, I don't think they are popular enough to have a chance but they are available for the picking.
16:00 to 16:45 Dragon Ball FighterZ Superdreadnought Super Stage (Niconico, YouTube Domestic, YouTube in Chinese, Twitch in English, Twitch in Chinese) Featuring Hikaru Midorikawa (Android 16 voice actor), one special guest, Tomoko Hiroki (Bandai Namco producer), and Arc System Works development staff.

If Android 16's voice actor is there I think it'd be safe to say the special guest is Android 21's voice actor and we'll get a proper reveal of her there.

So, what are people's thoughts on Goten, Trunks, and Gotenks?
Are they gonna:
1) Make it like 18+17, where you pick one and the other is assist
2) Make it sort of like 17+18 except you're able to switch between them during battle through some mechanic
3) Exclude them and just put Gotenks in the game
4) Goten+Trunks with a Gotenks install

You probably would save time and effort if you just do Gotenks

Most 2D games in the past go with Gotenks. I would say SSj3 Gotenks would be the one to make it out of all of thim. SSj3 would set him apart from the rest of the Super Saiyans on the roster a bit.
Just Gotenks, but the intro will be Goten and Trunks doing the fusion dance.
Also SSJ3 only. Gameplay hopefully revolves around his ghosts.
Just doing Gotenks feels like the obvious and best choice, I hope they go with that.
Would be neat if they unfused toward the very end if the match went on too long, but no way they waste that effort on a minor Easter egg. I imagine they'll just do the fusion in their intro, then have a win/lose pose that shows the fusion run out.

Goten and Trunks are worthless on their own, nothing unique about them. Gotenks is at least interesting and has a very unique moveset.

In a perfect world goten and gotenks are playable characters.
Since this world is cruel we'll get gotenks ss3 most likely maybe the intro will have them fuse

Well, if the rumor that we'll be able to swap 18/17 for 17/18 is true, then I think Goten / Trunks would be a viable thing
Well the only reason I think it would be possible is because this is a legit fighting game.
If we were going off who's actually worthless in the show, then there's no reason for them to be wasting slots with Tien and Yamcha lol
Goten and Trunks being a tag-team slot would be cool as hell though from a mechanical standpoint. Sort of an Ice Climbers or Relius/Celica/Carl type character.
The chance of this happening over Gotenks though is likely quite low though, yes.
go back in your hole with your wrestling dolls seph, youre drunk.
SSJ3 Gotenks that after half of ingame clock is rundown splits into Trunks/Goten combo
also I feel like both Nappa & Radditz are really tough calls. I don't see either getting in but I'd like Nappa. I want to focus all my not-main-enemy energy on Ginyu. Have the rest of the Force in there as assist and bodyswap would be a laugh!

If Beerus is in I hope this is a move.
I know it would be too complicated, but with all this talk about Gotenks, I was thinking it would be awesome if they had some sort of fusion mechanic.
For instance, you pick 2 characters that have an available fusion (Vegeta/Goku). Then in the match, you can sacrifice one of them to fuse them together, giving you Vegito.
You lose a character, but you now have 1 that is super powered.

It's pretty easy to see what they'll do with Gotenks.
- Goten and Trunks fuse in their intro and then Gotenks goes SSj3
- Gotenks wins
- Gotenks boasts and then defuses to a laughing Goten and Trunks during their ending
Probably one of the most unique if not best intro to any character in the game thus far. That'll be amazing.

I'd love something like this. I don't think Kid Trunks and Goten should take up a slot each with a lower end roster but that would be the best to have them as characters and then if you had them both you could fuse. Then you could do the same with Goku/Vegeta.

Yup. With Goten on his ass rubbing the back of his head and Trunks doing the rubbing his nose thing.
