As long as A.18 and Piccolo are in things will be fine. Those are almost guaranteed to be in. Tien would complete my team, but his chances of appearing, at least on release, are smaller.
True.
If we go by the games released, while 3 normal buttons and a mechanic button seems common, it is not the norm.
There are plenty of games that use more than 3 normals + 1 sp buttons on their layout.
I think in addition to the 6 chars we’ve seen, they’ll probably play it safe and add mostly the Z cast
So… Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, Piccolo, A16, A17, A18, Future Trunks, Kid Buu, Nappa, Raditz, Captain Ginyu
Would love to see Broly, Bardock, Cooler and Bojack or A13 as the movie content
Mr Satan for comedic purposes. Videl to add at least one waifu to accompany A18
That would equate to 24 characters at launch. I don’t expect any more (actually will probably have less)
If they could deliver Goku Black (or Zamasu), Beerus, Omega Shenron, Hit as DLC that’d be cool
Also I’m not exactly in favor of multiple versions of the same character that DBZ games tend to suffer from, so I personally wouldn’t want to see stuff like SSJ4 Goku or Super 17 or Imperfect Cell, or Super Vegeta, and all of that bullshit
That’s basically the only why the Budokai and Tenkaichi games delved way past 100 characters in the roster - same models, different colors. Making Base, SSJ1, SSJ2, SSJ3 Goku was fucking stupid, for example
ASW is developing it, but at the end of the day is a Bandai Namco game.
I assume that they will try to have a roster size around 30, with more comming with updates. Seeing how is the model they usually use with their games. (Naruto, Xenoverse, etc)
I think that is safe to assume that they will have chars up to Resurrection of F.
Maybe even up to Beerus and Champa tournament.
My guess is that they will add the usual suspects

I also see a good chance they could add chars from ovas and alternate reality games like xenoverse and dragon ball heroes
My guess is that they will try to sell the packs thematically.
With a dlc pack for the tournament of survival and a dlc pack for classic DB, packs for villains from movies
I think that ASW will try to prioritize chars based on how they can use them to offer unique gameplay. And knowing Bamco they will try to add the most popular ones from movies and series first, and leave some others as DLC to sell in packs along with the lesser popular ones.
So maybe we will se Broly in, but Janemba being sold as part of the Movie villains pack for example.
Maybe both Goku and Vegeta SSJ4 will be in but the rest will be sold on a GT pack.
I don’t think that all of them will make it.
But knowing Bamco, some of those have high chances on dlc packs later on the run.
I think that they will aim for a number between 24 and 30 for the initial release.
I actually think that some chars will be innevitable their own slot.
Majin Vegeta, Super 17, the SSJ4’s, the SSJ Blues etc, since they are clearly different chars, and have the chance to add diferent movesets and archetypes.
Also, on Tenkaishi non of the “repeated” chars had the same moves neither the same meele attack animations.
They also have different combo routes to say it in a way, with what of the established combos could do
yea man. nigga get some sleep Hecatom. shit. lol. he may be the most hyped one out of all of us.
as for wishlist roster…i know i need 17 and his energy field. i’m gonna be bodying peeps with that all day every day.
thats all i care about.
but as for waifus chi chi videl 18 most likely will make it in. tho a female saiyan might make it since they are already so damn popular.
this is arc so…expect females in this game.
c-can you imagine if the roster for this game ends up huge by the end of its run course? and has 50+ characters like mvc2?
SSG Blue could easily be just a recolor since it’s near identical to regular SSJ, especially since Gok uand Vegeta retain all of their techniques in that form
Stop thinking of it from the show perspective and think of it gameplay wise and fanservice wise.
Fans would love to have those transformations as characters, not just recolors.
Gameplay wise, you can make them work with different movesets, specially true for SSJB Goku.
You can add the KaioKen x10 as an instal super for example that drains Goku’s Health.
Vegeta can have other attacks that he doesn’t have on his SSJ form.
Like BB attack, Galick Gun.
You could make that one version works as a rushdown, while the other has a moveset more oriented as a keep away for example.
You maybe don’t like it but is more than likely that it will happen.
