- Bandai Namco On Why A 2D Fighting Game Was the Right Choice For Dragon Ball

Some nice E3 developer material about their approach to 2D, competitive, 3v3 fighting.

I haven't been this interested in a DBZ game since Budokai 2 on the Playstation 2. I can't wait to see how this one all plays out.

- Dragon Ball FighterZ adds Trunks



Trunks is a playable character in Dragon Ball FighterZ, the latset issue of Weekly Jump reveals.


Ditto!

i'll miss character creation but looks fun. hope it leads to a J stars cross over game in this style.

- Dragon Ball FighterZ adds Krillin and Piccolo



The magazine also reveals that players will be able to control chibi characters in online mode, similar to the online system in the Guilty Gear Xrd series, and that those chibi characters will be able to battle against each other.

These are my guys right here! Just gotta get some Tenshinhan cookin and we're set. (I wonder if Piccolo and Ten can form their own 3-man teams?). Chibi lobby sounds fun,. too.

Check out the link for article translations that run down their abilities.

Super excited for this game, can't wait to see how it develops going forward.

Mick and I have been talking about possible fighters for the game, my predictions/wishlist is:

Broly
Tien
Master Roshi
Nappa
King Cold
17
18
Pikkon

If they're doing movies/Super

Beerus
Janemba
Whis
Fused Zamasu

Some of those are virtual locks like Broly (he's in every game) and some are probably never going to happen (Pikkon) but, whatever.

- Dragon Ball FighterZ Story Mode Confirmed; Android 16, 18 Confirmed And More



According to the magazine, Dragon Ball FighterZ will sport a unique Story Mode which will not follow the manga and anime storyline. This Story Mode will involve a revived Android 16 and warriors getting defeated by an unknown force.

Additionally, Shonen Jump confirmed that Android 16 and Android 18 will be among the playable characters, both coming with some unique abilities. Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta will also be in.

Should be interesting to see where story mode goes.

= Bandai Namco Officially Reveals What Wishes The Dragon Balls Grant In FighterZ



According to a recent tweet from the company, after seven combos with a specific hit count (10 hits for the one-star ball, 30 hits for the three-star ball, etc.) are performed during the match, Shenron will appear to grant one player one of four wishes. The next player to land a combo (the tweet does not mention specifics, though an image in the tweet suggests it's no more than seven hits, may need to end with a heavy attack, and may require a full seven bars of Ki meter to activate) will get the wish.

That player can then choose to have their current character's health bar fully restored, revive one of their allies with half health, gain an additional Sparking Burst charge, or become immortal, restoring half their health and gaining auto-restoration for their energy gauge.

Gonna be interesting to see how well that works...

Easy to doubt, especially from a competitive tournament perspective. If its the kind of thing that doesn't happen too often, and functions as a well earned sudden death type scenario -- it could actually be a really interesting addition. I'm thinking particularly of the years when you have one guy dominating tournaments. The option to shoot for a sudden death tipping point could actually be a way to introduce some excitement.

BTW - ragnarok: you are the man!

Is Android 21 playable?

Still unknown,i hope she is!!



Thanks man!,glad to contribute.

I'm not a DBZ fan or a Marvel vs Capcom fan at all, but this is easily my most anticipated game of 2018. Looks really good, and I'm blown away by how much this game looks like a living version of the cartoon/anime.
[edit]: Thought everyone would like to see this: Dragon Ball: FighterZ - Intro Cinematic

Thanks,havent seen it yet,regarding the game,yes,it looks phenomenal,but i have an issue and it's the gameplay,every character does the same (seen in other figjhters too),i mean there's no variety,grapplers,zoners,etc,maybee i need to see more videos of people who care about this but thats it and other thing is all that cinematic sequences and Sheng Long appearing in the middle of the fight will affect the flow of the fight in a tournament,let' see how this goes.

In the end,this game will sell just for the Dragon Ball brand alone.

So the open beta has been going on since yesterday, and people aren't happy to say the least. There seems to be a network error and many people simply can't connect to matches at all. The issue seems to be affecting Xbox users more, but appears to be affecting both the PS4 and Xbox One respectively. With 2 weeks before the game's release, it certainly has a number of people worried, myself included.

To a lesser extent, there also seems to be quit a backlash on various other fighting game forums over the use of auto combos in the game. Players can essentially just mash X and to pull off a combo string. Given there is still more to the game, but this has some hardcore fighting game players really turned off to the game, because they are claiming it carters to the noob crowd

Personally I'm not as concerned about the auto combo system, as there are various other mechanics that add depth, having less than 1 day with the beta, and complaining about the depth of the game seems absurd. Fighting game metas and tech are constantly evolving. Not to mention that air dasher fighting games and tag fighting game, are pretty technical, even for me, so having a way to simplify the mechanics to make the game more accessible to new players is very welcoming IMO.

Majin Android 21 confirmed playable.

Majin 21

This game is so fun, judging by the beta. I loved it.

And love Anroid 21's new design, she's definitely on my main team.

DLC Characters supposedly unveiled through datamining..




dissapointing? hyped?..

Excited about the rest are meh.

Still buying the character pass to support the game though.

It's soooooo good. Anyone wanna fight? I'm on PS4: JohnnyC27078
