Dragonball Fighter Z

[Coola Yagami]

Who played the open beta? I can't remember the last time i had do much fun with a fighting game. It's just wild insane fun. I was mostly using Freeza, Cell and Nappa. Kinda wish Goku Black was available but oh well. Buying this game for sure.

[sdp]

The game looks amazing, I likely won't get it until it's cheap on steam though, I just prefer the Tenkaichi type off games, I feel it fits the Dragon Ball franchise better than a traditional fighting game. Still, it looks amazing.


My only problems are only nitpicks so most won't care but, I feel that if it's a Dragon Ball Z game it should only have DBZ fighters, if it's a DB Super game then it should only have DB Super fighters. I just feel it's odd to have say Nappa vs Berus when you know the power levels are inconsistent. This is fine in games like Tenkaichi where you have pretty much every fighter, but this one that has a more limited roster it should've skipped them.

[Coola Yagami]

Idk about that. I for one want Kefla, Vegetto and Jiren in this.

And I've been waiting forever for a legit DBZ fighting game.

[CyberCubed]

The 8 character DLC is probably going to be a mix of Super and movie characters.

I expect Android 17 and Roshi in the DLC, if this game came out a year later after the current Super arc they probably would have been in the base roster. Now after seeing Super most people will want them in, and 17 should have been his own character to begin with.

Other than that Caulifa and Jiren/Toppo is a given, I can see them making Kale a partner for Caulifa than her own character. Then you'll probably have the usual Broly, Cooler, Bardock stuff to fill out the movie characters. Some form of Vegito is also very likely.

There are some older characters I'm surprised didn't make it in like Radditz (he's been in like almost every 3D fighter), or Dabura, but sadly there's probably no space for them.

Why would that matter, in the Budokai and Tenkaichi games you had characters like Herucle and Vegito going at it in battle.

Back on topic the game looks pretty rad, I never played a Guilty Gear/Blaze Blue game before but this title makes me want to get into the franchise. Also here is to hoping we get Arale or Jaco

So apparently Android 21 is going to playable however she is going to turn into some Chimera thing or something.

Basically a female Buu with a tail.... I'm curious how she went from point A to point B.

[CyberCubed]

They ruined a good design. I wonder if Android 21 will be made canon. 90% of the time all these new videogame characters like Dabura's sister or fusions, etc. never appears in the main series.

[Sumac]

The game looks absolutely stunning like other works of ASW, but I never was fan of DragonBallz and even less fun of Capcom vs-like fighting games, which this one seems to be.
So, pass for me. At least for now.

[sdp]

I think all the "What if" characters they add to video games are cool.


I've loved cel shading since the early 00's when it started to gain traction, but then it kind of stopped. I hope this game is a huge success and other developers use celshading a lot again and of high quality.

No reason why a video game based on an animated show not use cel shading.

[oldmanwinters]

I'm impressed at how quickly those Red Ribbon Androids escalated in power between "Eighter," Super #13, Perfect Cell, and now Fem-Buu-Bot.

technically though Towa and Mira are canon in the sense they are part of DragonBall online which has story that is canon to Dragon Ball. Such as Buubie

If we are counting DBS 17 they can even go toe to toe with gods. Imagine if someone like Tien or Yamcha had cyborg implants

Bulma could count too, the woman made a time machine for god's sake. I like to imagine in that some alternate universe she would be a Doctor Doom like figure conquering planets like Frieza but instead of power/ki she would you science

I always wondered if "Major Metallitron" was supposed to be part of the "RR Android" series or if he was just some kind of special case... like the Army needed more diversity in their leadership ranks and decided to go with machines.

Why does A21 have boob physics?

I always assumed the Androids were all metal, 18 being the exception after she was wished to become human. Do they have Terminator like fake skin then?

The official backstory is that Android 17 and 18 began life as humans and were given cybernetic enhancements.

This would be a great idea for a mini-arc, or a movie, or a "side story."

1. The dragon could't make her human only remove the bomb from her body
2.17/18 and possibly 21 are cyborgs not Android the reason why they are called androids is because of a translation error the were called artificial humans in the original Japanese translation.
3. Because of fanservice.

[AquaParade]

I really enjoyed the beta for this. While it doesn't appear to have the depth of Marvel vs Capcom infinite, it handles some key aspects quite better.

Not only are the graphics a total blast, but it avoids a lot of the frustration that comes with playing MvC online. You may find yourself getting a beat down against a well-trained online opponent, but you still maintain a sense of control that is somewhat abesent when paired up against an expert player in MvC.

Majin Buu jiggles, why can't 21 jiggle?

[Coola Yagami]

Majin Buu jiggles, why can't 21 jiggle?

They're human with implants. 18 was never wished to be human. She and 17 were wished to have their bombs removed.

You really think 18 would still be aa powerful if she was a nornal hunan without the power up upgrades? She's not a martail artist, she was mostly a normal girl before.

[Ninjinister]

I gotta say, the alleged "leak" stating that two of the DLC characters...

are base form Vegeta and Goku

would be among the most disappointing choices ever. As unlockables? I'd be good with that. As paid characters? All-new movesets or not, it's not what I want.

It's why I didn't pay $10 a piece for Mr. Karate and Classic Kyo/Iori in King of Fighters 13.

Sorry dude. And yeah, we already got the Blues. We don't need to worry about the base.

Here is Majin 21's level 3 super

Not going to lie the way she made that face was super cute. If they do make a sequal I hope she makes a Heel-Face Turn

[sdp]

A21 has so much personality, it'd be a shame not to see her in the anime, or even the new movie.

Most video game exclusive characters are usually cool but never felt like I wanted them in the real show or even if I did it just felt like cool what ifs that the show should've done, but A21 feels like something that is a necessity for me now :lol:

I forgot how much I like Buu as a villain even if the actual saga didn't work for me instead of the borefest that was the Android/Cell saga which was awesome on the first view but after that it basically represents the worst tropes of DBZ.

[CyberCubed]

Hopefully they make her canon at some point when Dragonball returns.

[Ninjinister]

I saw the ending but it's been removed from YouTube. Here's the gist of it though if you care:

There are somehow two Android 21s (denoted "Good" and "Evil". Evil 21 has a pale purple skin color and some sort of spots on her body) I'm assuming this is due to the "cloning" plot?

Evil 21 is struggling against the Genki Dama. Good 21 then gives some person's soul to 18 as an orange light, and then goes to rush Evil 21 so that the Genki Dama can overpower her and it consumes them both.

Goku hopes that he can ask Enma to reincarnate her so they can train together. They then talk about returning whoever the orange light is (the player?) to their rightful body.

Still have no idea who 21 is or what her plan was. It might have been explained earlier but I literally could only find the last cutscene.

[oldmanwinters]

Watching the cutscenes on Youtube, I confess I found it amusing when Evil 21 went up against Cell and... consumed him as a pastry, granting her the enhanced purple form.

[Ninjinister]

This game is straight 🔥🔥🔥

It's everything I've wanted from both a DragonBall fighting game and Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.

When I first saw the gameplay, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was the first thing that came to my mind. I'm definitely gonna have to buy this one up at some point. I'm also amazed at how well the 3D models translate into the animated cutscenes. With some more attention, I could even see that style as a possible option for a new cartoon show. It would certainly help ensure consistency in models and animation.

[Ninjinister]

Yamcha's revenge is one of my favorite things so far

[oldmanwinters]

Seeing that Nappa FAIL makes me wish Toriyama hadn't forgotten about Saiyans growing tails and turning into Oozarus.

[CyberCubed]

I literally spent 4 and a half hours watching all the story cutscenes on youtube. Jesus Christ, apparently there's even more cinema scenes based on what characters you choose. I saw a whole bunch of further Yamcha scenes I didn't even seen in that nearly 5 hour video.

How many cutscenes are in this game? Seems they went overboard, it has to be over 5 hours worth which is insane for a fighting game.

You don't buy the game, you don't get to complain.

Loving the game so far but I feel as if there should've been arcade endings for each character, while I enjoy the game's story they really dropped the ball by not including it.

I haven't seen all of the game yet, been too busy between getting blasted online and also playing SF5AE, but I did notice there's an arcade mode... so does that one have endings?

Nope also speaking of online I kinda hate it how you have to preset your teams instead of picking them before you fight, its sort of annoying.

[Ninjinister]

Arcade endings are starting to be a really missed opportunity in a lot of games, especially if they put all their chips on a long-ass story mode (thankfully NetherRealm still adheres to the rule).

Almost as bad is when they're there but you can't re-view them upon acquisition. SF4 had this option, then SSF4 took it away and they never gave it back throughout any of the other SF4 releases!

Dude, what? I am going to buy the game, I just decided to watch all the story mode cutscenes on youtube ahead of time because I was curious about it and Android 21. And I said I'm shocked there are over 5 hours of cutscenes as a good thing, I never expected this much work to be put into the story mode of a fighter.

Where on earth did you get the opposite impression from?

[Shark_Blade]

Cool. But why spoil things before experiencing it first hand? It's fine regardless.

Anyway, this game is getting positive reaction from the public and I'm loving it. I hope to pick it up today. :tlove:

I plan to play with Japanese voice on as it should be.

For the people who play the game who do you guys main.
For me I tend to rotate between Goku Black, Hit(I love Hit), Majin 21, SSB Vegeta, Cell, and Gotenks

[Spike Spiegel]

When this hits the $20 rack, I'll be looking into it. I've seen a few cutscenes with the dub actors and it looks like an fun and authentic DB experience.
