“WOMEN ARE BEATING MEN AT MAKING FIGHTING GAMES!” Sanford Kelly 2017
Calling Goku’s bullshit “god powers” is really stupid in my opinion.
Can he create life, worlds? Can he alter physical laws that govern the universe? Does he have infinite knowledge of all creaton, and all things past, present and future? No? Then what can he do? Oh, he just punches stuff really hard.
This is why in the grand scheme of all fiction, DB characters are basic bitch tier.
She seems like a nice lady, is passionate about DBZ and fighting games, and seems to have made a great product. Real winner.
Here we go…
They call it that because his strength and ki is consistent with those of the gods in Dragon Ball. There are different types of gods: Destruction, Creation, Angels, Kami… They’re all different in their purpose, powers, and abilities. Goku/Vegeta’s SSJG form uses god ki. It sounds like what you’re doing is applying the rules of other mythos’ gods to Dragon Ball’s. Stop.
Zamasu doesn’t need to be his own character. Goku Black is right there, and Zamasu’s biggest trait before his final enlightened form was that he was ‘indestructible’, despite how he was flicked around like a fly. Noted that I agree this game doesn’t need 5 Gokus, but it needs at least two, because we can’t have Goku Black as a transformation and we can only have so many transformations in one character.
Going for a list of around 18 characters at release (which is actually STILL pushing it if modern fighting games are any example), here is what I expect:
Balanced out by adding in pretty much the most important and iconic characters throughout most of Dragonball, to popular fan requests, two female characters, one inevitable Mr. Satan, and three characters from Super to round it out at 18 characters. A reasonable amount at release for a game that has an incredible amount of detail to every single thing in it, we can assume from Arcsys.
DLC needs to start off with popular fan requests that are NOT too obscure (thinking Ginyu, Android 16, Dabura, Tien, Cooler, etc). It should for sure include more Super reps as we go further into the anime, but shouldn’t refrain from pulling from the obscure pool here and there for fans.
While Golden Freeza was in the DBZ movie, the series Dragon Ball Super covered both movies that came out, it covered the initial Beerus movie with SSj god and also covered the Golden Freeza movie.
Even more in depth if I remember correctly, there were parts in the Anime that weren’t in the films.
Add piccolo and those 7 are the only “essential” fighters. Everyone else you could argue against their inclusion for either relevancy, not “big” enough(no 17 and 18 don’t match up to the core 6) or db super is too new.
That said by my estimate considering its arc sys expect 14-16 fighters at launch.
Damn, I don’t give a shit about religious stuff. In the DBZ universe Beerus is a god and the blue form Vegeta and Goku get originate from them unlocking saiyan god powers.
I’d be very surprised if the core Z-fighter cast didn’t make it.
Yeah, agreed here. Though there ARE some characters from Super I believe are definitely needed, and I do believe 17/18 are necessary in the base roster, there are only a small amount of characters that absolutely need to be there.
Piccolo has been there for EVERYTHING, or at least mostly everything. Dude has been fallen back onto time after time and takes one for the team constantly. That, and he’s badass.
I want to see an Assist Type Character or something that fight in teams(captain commando) or fight in pair.
Ginew Forces as one character fights like Captain commando or doronjo in TVC
Tien with Chaozu
Android 18 with 17
Goku Black with Zamasu that has a fused super to final form.
Nappa summoning saibamen like MVC2 Jill and Tron
Agree, could even be the whole team especially in the art direction. seeing those normal attack base from manga seems like this guys working with it knows what they are doing not just professionally but also from the lore itself. It’s like they are faithful to franchise and the designs.
Not every god in different mythology has the omnipresent and omnipotence traits. In greek mythology divine beings are just known directly as a god. while in eastern mythology any being with divinity status is also a god but in modern times days as new words and terminology emerge they are known as deities not different or separate terminology to a god that is believed to provide them knowledge, prosperity, protection, maturity or any idea of betterment in return by doing something in favor of that being by displaying an object or wearing something like eastern practices of feng shui. We all know Goku is loosely based and inspired to the monkey king… the journey to the west literature.
Capcom’s new mechanic… Not my thing
Spoiler
This mechanic could work with the like of Dragon ball because of the huge variety of mobility choices and projectile options for every individual character, but the current DBZF parry and game mechanics is better already and very much fitting for it’s game and lore.
She seems real and understands what they’re advertising too.
I’ve seen many games that get shown off as true fighters for them not to represent a traditional fighter on release, or they always get simplified for ease of access. Her saying this is a game to fighting game players in-particular just seems kinda genuine to me. Bamco had no reason to put this game into circulation because of Xenoverse sales doing quite well, but considering the hype this game got amongst a bunch of other closely released fighting games I can bet whoever the higher ups may be are currently celebrating the living fuck outta this debut.
God bless this woman, she seemed really grounded.
Well to be fair there is still auto combos and QCF motions only. I am still kinda worried about that and if it wasn’t ASW behind it I would be super worried.
Well, that wasn’t a problem for P4A.
wish the current characters had a bigger movelist
Zamasu with Black in SSJRose that fight as a pair in one character slot is okay since Zamasu isn’t better or stronger than Vegeta and Goku. Zamasu without Black Goku is weak because he is just an immortal that’s why he has staying power to keep up with Goku and Vegeta.
Pair/ 2 in 1 characters are interesting for the two.
Then had them had a fusion form in level 3 like Freeza having Golden Freeza.

Why should this form not be selectable? because this form didn’t even last long because it was replace by the monstrosity form which is another form that didn’t stay long also.
But I believe this form should be accessed like Freeza’s Golden form and not the monstrosity form.
Black destroying future trunks alternate world was weaker than the current DBS Goku. Zamasu being Black without SSJR was unfamiliar with his capabilities and just starting to learn from every encounter he has with Goku that gradually reveals the potential and abilities in the body(Goku’s Body) he had stolen.
Zamasu and Super Saiyan Rose side by side fighting together as a pair was the climax of that saga were they both also shine individually in fighting prowess in fact better than their earlier separate encounter with the Z fighters and future trunks that is more about mystery and holding back. So I don’t think Vanilla Black and Zamasu need to be an individual character and Goku Black should be always in SSJR form in the game along with Zamasu as an assist that goes along to blend and empowers SSJR Black’s special and super attacks.
3-5 special moves, command normals, and 2-4 supers seems like normal?
It’s about the same. Complete bs with no respect for the original. GT had one semi-decent arc with the corrupted Dragon balls, even though some of it was badly executed. Granted Super, isn’t over yet and might pull off something decent for the final arc but I doubt it. The main reason why GT > Super though, are the villains and especially their designs. Baby was actually a cool villain all around. The design on Super android 17 is just badass. You see what they did here? An actual redesign that looks much better, while still reminiscent of the past character. If Super Android 17 was a Super arc, you’d have android 17 and his hair colored green. 10/10 design. Omega Shenron looks amazing too.
What has Super given us? A copy-paste Goku in black clothes with Pink hair? If you’d say this as an idea for the villain design before Super was a thing you’d get laughed and yelled at. Nowadays it’s cool and amazing apparently. A recolored Freeza? Granted golden Freeza doesn’t look bad at all, but this recoloring shit is lazy, uninspired and devoid of any creativity. Hit is the only one who looks decent. And he feels like a discount member of the Freeza family.
