Dragon Ball FighterZ

A new fighter developed by Arc System Works with higher production values than usual. The hype for this title has been going strong, and impressions throughout various events seem to be positive, garnering great interest from people within the fighting game community.

The franchise's revival has steadily given rise to meatier and meatier games in recent years, and now it has reached a point where Bamco can feel comfortable with attempting a more competitive console fighter. Thanks, Super.

Some trailers, gameplay, and breakdown vids by some pros:

I was thinking of playing as Krillin and spamming Senzu beans but the enemies can pick them up too. Fucking thieves.

Any chance of Mr. Satan or Videl making the roster?

So ginyu and Nappa are in:

Spoiler:

I am really not impressed with the roster.

Needs more CHAOZ.

I wonder if this will end up llike the other games where the games horribly imbalanced so there's no point in choosing anyone but the strongest characters.

This game has a smaller roster to deal with and is intended to be a gateway competitive fighter, so it probably won't be Tenkaichi levels of unbalanced at least.

Goodbye, Amigo Ten.

.

Finally, I got my main!

Hearing about how there may be more unlockable alt colors makes me hope some of them are the Toriyama color schemes. Especially Piccolo's.

finally i got my main

I wanna main Yamcha just to ruin any Broly shitters that play (because you definitely know he'll make the roster).

They need to add Kale to trigger the Broly fanboys.

Beerus, Black (SSR), and Hit confirmed.

Spoiler:

Tried the beta recently. It's a pretty polished and enjoyable fighter. We'll probably see it make it big among the competitive community for a while. Netcode wasn't half-bad either. Even when there was a bit of input lag, it was still pretty playable.

Also, I can't unhear Ult. Gohan's "SHIIIIIEEET" after he makes a super dash.

Hoo boy

Spoiler:

SHIIIIIIET, that's dope. People noticed 21 becoming some Majin-esque being some time back based on a particular shot from a scan or one of the earlier trailers. Neat to see it confirmed.

Hmm, I haven't decided yet whether I'd like to have Gohan as my starting character or as my last one.

I've checked some gameplay vids and it seems like Goku, Goku Black, Vegeta, Frieza and Kid Buu have the best assists, so I expect at least one of them to show up in every decent team. Ugh, I wanted to use a team consisting of Piccolo, Gotenks and Gohan, but I don't think they have good synergy.

If you believe, you can make them have good synergy. That and have Vegeta in place of one of them.

Or I could pick Goku Black and abuse his instant transmission cross up to win with minimal effort.
Nah, I’ll use Gotenks / Piccolo or a decent assist / Gohan and have fun with the game.
Besides, if Piccolo and Gotenks are in the same team, Gotenks and Gohan’s level 3 supers will have different and better animations.
