Dragon Ball FighterZ: Legendary Saiyans Edition

Are those new stages?

we seen the destroyed west city one. But I believe this is the first time we have seen the cave stage outside of the story mode trailers.

Looks like he also has a Dio time stop super.

You mean Dio?

Yes, looks like it. I canā€™t really make out that Beerus stage.

Thatā€™s the cave where beerus and ssg goku first fought

Dramatic Finishers scan translated.

I was kinda hoping hits time skip might be that, memory is fuzzy but is it samurai showdown, darkstalkers or both where some characters or maybe it was a mechanic where you slowed down time, and you could move at the same speed, but the opponent was moving way slower and was basically forced to eat your mix ups for awhile. I think that would have been a more neat way to do his stuffā€¦

Also I assume this means next month they announce final boss girl, with the first 2 dlcs??? Or???

It seems a little strange to me since obviously going by the scans they want to recreate some of the scenes from the manga and anime. And if you just end with regular goku blackā€¦well wtf do you really logically do then? It didnt end thereā€¦ so maybe first dlc is merged zamasu and vegito then? If they go with the idea of pairs at least that seems to make the most logical sense. Only others I could think is vegito and gogeta but im guessing that wouldnt happen. Or a vegito and super buu which again seems pretty doubtfulā€¦

If not these 2ā€¦ wellā€¦ sudderā€¦ broly and bardock as a pair right? Again dont care for these 2 particularly but broly at least most deff serves a purpose aesthetically and potentially gameplay wise.

Wow, that shit is too cool. Hope kid Gohan has one where Cell bloats up to self destruct and Goku teleports away with him.

Nah, when I read Time Skip and Time Stop, for the purpose of gameplay, thatā€™ll imply either the character ā€˜teleportingā€™ (though with possible added ā€˜bonusā€™ of also literally skipping seconds off the fight clock!) or an all-out stage and character freeze (except for the caster).

I have a real funny feeling Hit might be the Toki (of Fist of the North Star by ArkSys!) of this gameā€¦though hopefully nowhere near as stupidly overpowered as he was.

ā€œSpecific Type of Combo.ā€

Maybe this is whatā€™s going to encourage people not to just go ham with autocombos, the same way the Lottery Bar in NBA Playgrounds doesnā€™t build for 3 pointers so guys canā€™t just jack treys like in 2k?

I really donā€™t like that dragon ball mechanic at all. I hope you can turn it off

Between Gems, Infinity Stones, and Gougiā€¦might as well admit that these things are finally here to stay.

Nope, the Dragon Ball stuff is staying in it looks like.

BUT AT LEAST YOU DONā€™T GET ONE BY GETTING YOUR ASS BEAT, AM I RITE?!?!?

Getting even more bonuses for beating someone down is straight Republican nonsense, lol.

Stolen Shenrons are going to make people so angry (But Itā€™d be great for a tourney)

The shenron system sounds dumb as fuck.
Also, still no broly announcement? This is gonna be a capcom tier move if he isnt in the base roster.

You have to be joking about that, lol.

While Broly is popular it seems pretty clear that in this first run they are focusing on characters who are relevant to the main canon. We even said months ago while speculating who would be coming out who the absolute essentials would need to be and we came up with around 28-30 people. All 24 of the characters in this game were on the list we agreed upon would be an absolute must except for SSB Goku and Vegeta who donā€™t really fight much differently than their counterparts to warrant their own slot.

Soā€¦

[details=Spoiler]Dragon Ball FighterZ:

3 of the DLC characters Iā€™ve heard of include Broly, Base form Goku (it was noted to me that he does use the Spirit Bomb), and Base form Vegeta. I am clarifying by calling them ā€œBase formā€ instead of ā€œRegularā€ since that confused people originally despite being the same thing. Their inclusion is something I know is going to be highly controversial and I will get into why further down.

More characters that I know about but not all of their statuses of launch or DLC are Bardock (whom I originally heard would be DLC, but that was only from one source that I have never heard back from), Raditz (I was told that heā€™d be DLC by only one source in particular), Zarbon (that same source that says that Raditz is DLC claims Zarbon is in, but no clarification if heā€™s launch or DLC), and Goku Black (in his Rose form, no clarification if launch or DLC)

Beerus and Hit are launch roster characters though.

I was told that Goku Black was even finished 3 months ago, and that Broly, Base form Goku, and Base form Vegeta were finished during the gameā€™s main development with Goku Black. I think people should make some noise if those 3 (or 4 if Goku Black is withheld) were made alongside the launch game, but are going to be held back as DLC like Iā€™ve been told.

With the controversy out of the way, there is a Switch port in the works. Unreal Engine 4ā€™s UE4.15 is Switch-friendly, so that may explain why the Switch port is coming later. I do not know what Unreal Engine 4 version it uses for the others. The much demanded Nintendo Switch version will likely come out next year in the autumn or winter.
For some personal history, the season pass was originally leaked to me as some exclusive pass featuring saiyans (I originally heard about Broly and Bardock being DLC characters). Since the FighterZ Pass was revealed, Iā€™ve heard much more since originally leaking those two. Iā€™ve been told the game will be supported for 2 years by multiple sources. I donā€™t know if that pass of 8 characters accounts for the first year or both. I am going to assume it means just the first year. Bandai Namco is reportedly, according to the people I have talked to, taking a very serious approach with this game having a lengthy life and long term support. Including an esports push.
I have a few different sources regarding this game as I said. Every source that Iā€™ve talked to has told me that Broly, Base form Goku, and Base form Vegeta have all been heard about and agreed upon as being DLC.[/details]

Yeah +1 to the Dragon ball system sounding dumb as all hell. Getting a menu in the middle of a match is the most flow-disrupting thing Iā€™ve seen in the genre.

Hey, Iā€™m getting this and playing this either way, Iā€™m just excited that means that Iā€™m getting Green Goblin and Gill!

The only thing that guy called wrong was Sodom, it wound up being Blanka instead. Maybe that means weā€™re gonna get Necro and Q for free after EVO :open_mouth:

ON TOPIC, I am very glad that Beerus, Hit and Black all made it into the launch roster. Those are easily the 3 must-grab characters from DBS other than perhaps Kefla and Jiren.

orrr it can be really salt inducing if someones beating your ass and summons a big ass dragon to add more pain to the tush
