What would you think if Dragon Ball: FighterZ had this roster?

This is meant to be a serious, dedicated roster for the upcoming DBZ game called Dragon Ball: FighterZ so most of the choices are obvious, safe picks but some oddball choices and newcomers to spice things up. Now here's the roster I think that'll please everyone:

How would this do for the final roster?


Goku (Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Blue)
Gohan (Super Saiyan 2)
Vegeta (Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Blue)
Piccolo
Krillin
Trunks (Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Rage)
Yamcha
Tien
Master Roshi
Chi-Chi
Hercule
Videl
Gotenks (Super Saiyan 3)
Frieza (True Form, Golden Form)
#16
#17
#18
Cell (Perfect Form)
Majin Buu
Super Buu (Base, ~Gotenks~ Absorbed, ~Gohan~ Absorbed)
Kid Buu
Beerus
Hit
Goku Black (Super Saiyan Rose)
Broly (Legendary Super Saiyan)
Janemba (Final Form)

DLC
Caulifla (Super Saiyan 2)
Jiren
Bardock
Omega Shenron

It's just enough to keep the casuals' eyes without feeling bloated to the hardcore.

>No Cooler because he really has no unique abilities
>I would add Vegito but I'd rather him be a tag team install for Goku and Vegeta. Gotenks is on the roster because it's the only way to justify the kids being on the roster.
>Have Jiren, Omega Shenron, Bardock, etc. as DLC to keep the base roster at a reasonable size and ArcSystem would make a killing that way. It also gives them time to balance and diversify their movesets especially Caulifla and Jiren.
>Roshi, Hercule, Videl, or Chi-Chi are the oddballs here.
>Master Roshi is an OG
>Hercule is the token joke character (ala Dan Hibiki)
>Videl fills the pure melee-based character niche with only one ki-based attack (super move) for pressure and female representation,
>Chi-Chi fills the "fast and technical" niche (ala Chun-Li and Ling Xiaoyu) with good zoning thanks to the Bansho Fan (which ties into her Princess Iron Fan influence) and Power Slugger (based on the boomerang blade she used as a kid only made with pure energy). Also, more female and OG Dragon Ball representation.

Why male kale and not kale? She is better and canon

Here's the best roster:

>Goku
>Vegeta
>Gohan
>Trunks
>Piccolo
>Krillin
>18
>Gotenks
>Tien
vs
>Frieza
>Cell
>Fat Buu
>Kid Buu
>Janemba
>Broly
>Goku Black
>Beerus
>Hit

This roster is based on play-style variety and characters with enough source material to not have to make up moves.
Add in a few of your favorites as DLC characters to fill up those last spots for a 24 select screen.

add nappa and fused zamasu(boss only)

>No Satan, Yamcha or Champa
>Broly, Janemba and Black

It's shit.

>Satan
Gotenks or beerus works better as a joke character without just being a joke character

>Yamcha
Has almost nothing to offer others don't

>Champ
Would be identical to beerus

I honestly could give less of a fuck of the roster of a dragon ball z game.

>super saiyan rage

>No Cooler because he really has no unique abilities
you're joking? he has more moves than all the joke characters like chichi, hercule, videl or almost anyone from super

Ryoga Fu fu ken also Spirit Ball

>Serious
>Caulifa

Don't delude yourself, Caulifag.

Autism: The Post

Dragon Ball Z was a mistake.

>Wolf Fang Fist
>Soukidan
>Kamehameha
That's all he has. His fighting style isn't unique enough, he's really generic except all his punches are fang fists for whatever reason.
He's like Mystic Gohan except replace upside down flying with weird finger poses.
He has nothing to offer that would warrant him a spot over other more unique characters. He's just a fighter with 2 moves.

>but rekka and spirit ball juggling!
>Goku has a rekka already, so that's not unique to Yamcha
>Soukidan won't be a juggle move in the sense that you use it for one hit and combo, it's purpose in the serious is completely different and it's more of a cross-up energy ball than one to initiate juggles. And Frieza alreayd has a juggle special and juggle assist, and he's a ki based character. More unique than Yamcha could be in the game.

You can still cancel your marvel infinite preorder you know?

>30
>Bloated

Did you just miss the entire hype train of MvC2? 30+ is standard fare these days and only accepted because its harder to keep porting 3D than copy pasting 2D. Make the majority of the characters unique, a decent sized pool of viable chars, more than 5 recolors, and you can have as many as you want.

Roster wise, do you really need Black and Bardock when you have Goku? And no fucking clue how you got 3 different buus + 16 yet not a single Ginyu force member or person from Frieza's gang. Isn't Chi-Chi the shit dumpster of DBZ+? Is she even playable in the xenoverse games?

What if Yamacha's MAX meter super is a Saibamen lunging at him from the opposite side of the map, which would be behind the opponent.

If it grabs the opponent, more Saibamen latch on to them and they take severe damage in a catastrophic flashy explosion.

If the opponent dodges by maybe jumping, so that the Saibamen keeps moving forward, it can actually grab Yamacha, exploding, seeing the signature pose we all know and love, and taking some damage from it.

I think it would be fucking sick.

>do you really need Black and Bardock when you have Goku
>30+ is standard fare! just make them unique!
>But you can't have these two characters who fight completely different because they look the same!
Uh huh.

Rate/Hate

>Yamcha and Hercule

Already a 11/10, would make me preorder

>GT characters
>Mr.Satan
>Cooler

3/10

>Mystic Gohan
Goku with faster punches. Nothing special.
>Ginyu
1 move and a basic fighting style. >captain commando doesn't exist in DBZ, that's made up and Arcsys are following guidelines with how characters fought in the actual series.
>Satan
No moves. Did he punch cell more than once? if not then he has no normals either.
>Chichi
No moves, little normals, can't fly, can't use ki.
>Videl
No moves, just barely enough normals. Can't shoot ki blasts.
>Yamcha
lol
>Bardock
No moves or fighting style aside from brawling.
>Gogeta
Little moves and little normals.
>Cooler
Little moves. Meta Cooler is more unique and varied and more likely.

pretty great but if this is a srs bizness fighting game then ginyu might ruin it with his gimmick. i'd swap him for super buu or one of friezas other goons

Drop the GT shit and it's perfect

>Adult Gohan
>Ginyu
>Chichi
>Videl
>PAN
Why the fuck would you even include Pan?

does Pan actually have enough moves? You didn't list her and I never watched GT, but I assumed she didnt do shit in it.

Racoom or Nappa should replace ginyu since they actually have enough attacks.

GT had such bad villains

and drop super shit too except maybe beerus

Broly is not only has more unique stuff but he's infinitely more popular and iconic to the franchise.

I forgot to list her.
She has enough normals and she has a kamehameha. But from what I remember that's about it.

>inb4 some idiots says "Broly's reason for hating Goku is so retarded, >m-muh baby crying. Kale is better."
>without realizing that Broly doesn't even hate Goku, because they never watched the movie.

the only reason i want ginyu in the game cause knowing what the ginyu force is i'd think they could have some cool "tag team" moves for the specials and ults, ya know that kinda thing kinda thing

>caulishit
no cancer waifushit allowed

fuck off retard

no
waifushit is pure cancer and does not belong in a fighting game

>Bardock
>DLC

no thanks

>without feeling bloated to the hardcore.
Has:
>Chichi
>Videl
>Satan
>17
>Caulifla
>not bloated

You best not be talking shit about Satan, the greatest fighter in the world!

Maiden Burst/Blast as well

well that's too bad

>All this shitposting
>MVC:I ends up selling 10x as many copies and stays alive for offline competitive and online play for 5 years plus while DBFZ struggles to get into EVO two times before fading away into obscurity.

You do know that karma is a thing, right?

Also.

>this "roster"
>fucking non-fighters and Mr.Satan in a serious fighting game
>Videl and Chi-Chi, two girls with absolutely no moves to call their own other than generic punches and kicks
>Meanwhile no Nappa and Raditz and the Ginyu Force, characters who actually have their own moveset and could fit into fighting game archetypes easily

If they waste character slots on deviantart recolors and Super Saiyan Rage, the game's garbage

lol

This. If you want Blue as its own character, use Vegito

Some fresh OC.

Who's gonna be the zoner of dbz?

some is is mad that no one gives a shit about MvCI

Oops

Pretty big roster. I'd be happy.

...

This. If Vegito is in he should be blue. Only character who should get Blue.

>lol
Yeah, I like recolors that bring nothing to the table other than blue hair. Only Trunks got new shit in Super, but sword attack he ripped out of his ass and Vegeta's attacks aren't worth wasting a slot

My roster

Goku
Vegeta
Teen Gohan
Piccolo
Krillin
Trunks
Tien
Gotenks
Frieza
16
17
18
Cell
Fat Buu
Super Buu
Vegito
Kid Buu
Beerus
Broly
Bardock

>Super DLC
Hit
Black
Fusion Zamasu (with corrupted install)
Kale
Jiren

>GT DLC
SSJ4 Goku
SSJ4 Gogeta
Omega Shenron
Baby Vegeta
Kid Goku

Also do you think PC will get mods like Xenoverse?

>Also do you think PC will get mods
lol

>MVC:I ends up selling 10x as many copies
Marvel 3, across almost ALL releases (Vanilla & Ultimate on both systems, Ultimate Vita, and the PS4/XBone re-release; couldn't find PC sales) sold just barely over 3 million units. Xenoverse 2 between just PS4/XBone (again couldn't find PC sales) has sold 1.41 Million.

Take into account that Marvel 3 had a huge hype train after 10 years of thinking the series ended at 2, Infinite having negative hype in all ways except the solid gameplay base (which doesn't help a crossover fighter that has shit fanservice), and DBFZ having huge hype on top of crossover appeal with fighting game fans that never really touched the annual DBZ releases, and that's 100% bullshit. I literally looked up sales figures for the first time in my life for this.

As for EVO, Capcom is going to put money into their games' scenes (doubly so if Marvel/isney put money into Infinite's scene as well) so of course it'll be at EVO for years. That said, DBFZ has the best chance of any anime fighter in a long, long time to have a consistent tenure at EVO, between the likely scene that is created and Bamco cash.

That OP roster IS kinda bad though, I agree.

Piccolo. At least he's looking pretty mid-range zoning. No full-screen keepaway characters yet, although Krillin seems to have a tool or two like that.

I hope we see their trailers soon.

they could easily design a moveset around blue using the manga and anime though I think an alt costume would be just as well

>Chi-Chi

>(again couldn't find PC sales
in the 200k range I believe.
xv1 sold 600k.

Xenoverse 2 actually sold less than XV1.

please no.

OP pic was the last unique physical feat ever displayed in DB. everything after this is just repeated action scenes that you have seen from the earlier seasons.

Eventually you run out of ways to make the characters appear stronger.

this is the rest of the roster:

-SSJ3 Gotenks
-18
-Beerus
-Tien
-Kid Buu
-Ultimate Gohan
-SSJ Vegito
-Yamcha
-19
-16
-Dabura
-Nappa
-Ginyu
-SSB Goku (DLC)
-Broly (DLC)

wrong

>OP pic was the last unique physical feat ever displayed in DB
Don't forget that Goku put ki into his finger for that trick, his finger is naturally sword proof.
Also, there's Goku lifting the 40tons as well as Goku lifting a huge fucking rock in the anime during the boo saga.

what part of my post mentions manga?

no game no buy

Black has plenty of his own shit and Bardock... at first I didn't consider him but he's just too popular to leave out.

The Buy characters aren't even the same people. They have their own fighting styles and set of moves to work with.

I also think #16 is more unique than the ginyu force or any of Frieza's men.

Nah, Recoome was pretty unique. He was the first real Namek villain.

Remove Yamcha (been too long since he was relevant), Chi-Chi, Roshi, and Videl (they're never if rarely in any games),#16(was only relevant for 5 minutes), Super Buu and Kid Buu (We don't need more than 1 Buu, just give Fat Buu another form), and make Janemba and Broly DLC because not canon.

Agreed heavily on 16. His whole playstyle just screams to me as a combination of Sentinel & Potemkin and I love that idea. Slow, armored heavy with a command grab and one decent mid-range option in Rocket Punch.

I'm also 100% down for a Level 5 Self-Destruct Command Grab Super.

>Boy, I sure hope no Super characters get in!

Relevant doesn't matter to ArcSys beyond the Must-Haves. They're going to gameplay variety. Roshi & 16 have enough uniqueness to them, and Kid Buu is very likely since he fights absolutely nothing like Fat Buu. Yamcha is possible if they figure out something interesting beyond the obvious "Wolf Fang Fist is a rekka".

Remember that the mentality some people have of fighting games that clones "waste a spot" isn't how it actually works. Clones get added because they're easy to make.

That being said, Black has a very unique moveset with energy weapons and self-replication. He doesn't do anything that Goku does.

>He doesn't do anything that Goku does.

Just a reminder that Roshi is the cutoff point for humans. Anyone weaker needs to fuck off (that means you, bulma-in-a-robot fags)

No Pui Pui, no buy

holy shit, the animation is terrible
the mook who thought he was hot shit for being able to fight in a x10 gravity? for real?

Get all that DBS shit out of there. No Chi Chi or Omega Shenron either.

Add Cooler, either final form or metal, Pikkon, Dabura, some or all Ginyus, Nappa, Zarbon (with possible transformation), Majin Vegeta all before any of the DBS stuff or Chi Chi or Omega Shenron.

>and Bardock... at first I didn't consider him but he's just too popular to leave out.
>Implying Bardock doesn't have his own


Are you kidding or have you not played Bardock in any DBZ game before?

Imagine for a second they would make a public announcement for a new character.

Either Broly or Bardock, I guarantee everybody will burst in hype.

But Broly DOES hate Goku. He doesn't know how to cope with all the hardship he experiences so he latched on to the first negative experience that he remembers, which is Goku's loud crying.

He killed cell after all!

Bardock has no moves

...

>But Broly DOES hate Goku
This isn't stated or implied in the movie.
>He doesn't know how to cope with all the hardship he experiences so he latched on to the first negative experience that he remembers, which is Goku's loud crying.
Yes, while this is true, it doesn't mean he hates Goku. Goku's crying is the only thing with a strong enough emotional trigger to effect Broly. After Broly breaks free of the mind control he shows no hate towards Goku. He couldn't handle the memory of Goku crying**, that's what through him into a fritz. It's not because Goku himself was physically there, it was because hearing Goku's name and then seeing him again started to trigger those memories. Correlation =/= Causation. It's not him hating Goku, it's him hating the memories of him crying.

**Not really memories. The movie doesn't really imply he remembers what happened, it's just that Broly knows his trauma was caused by Goku, and was told by either paragus or a toei staff member.

It's great.

>wat if mai, that cool side character from earlier dragon ball, was trunks love interest lol
Glad I'm not reading or watching this fanfiction.

...

how exactly is that a problem

It's convoluted. Just pairing up established characters at random, it'd be like pairing Pan with the Tournament Announcer just because they're both Dragon Ball characters.

>Bulma
>Chi-Chi
>Hercule
>Videl
If you select any of these characters, fuck off from further discussion. Please stop posting your stupid lists.

>pan is like 4 years old in DBZ and like 10 in GT
>Tournament dude is near Goku's age
>that's the same as pairing two people who are physically the same age
Yeah, Sup Forums is right over there, user.

if you say so

Its a good roster, but I'd like to see Kid Goku as a way to represent the OG series outside of Roshi, Chi-Chi and Tien.

I feel if they do DLC, they're going to be characters people want to buy, I feel Broly is perfect as a DLC character.

Super Buu needs to fuck off, he's just a shitty version of Cell.

No it doesn't matter if they're old enough to be their grandparent, if they wishes they were a baby again it will be okay so my Pan x Tournament Announcer makes lots of sense!

>Being this much of a faggot

Is Super worth watching or should I just rewatch YYH instead

Saying no to Bulma makes sense, but the other 3 are perfectly fine. I bet you never even played Super Dragon Ball Z, fucking faggot.

YYH

well it's better than everything in yyh except the dark tournament arc

One is bad and one you've seen before. Read a book called Water Margin.

Super is fine.
Just skip the RoF arc with the exception of the episode where Goku and Vegeta have to do chores for Whis and Beerus, its pretty good.

YYH has aged poorly.
