Android 21:

My new main.

[gato]

I can't believe I'll be able to play as the SRONGEST HUMAN team, I'd rather have Satan than Yamcha but for the time being he'll do.

[8ther]

Too anyone here who've played the beta, please pm me i have questions about the game.

Eh, it's great to have 16 back but the story looks uninteresting so far.

Archipelago and Future in Ruins confirmed as stages.

Black confirmed?

[DiamondX]

Combos give you Dragon Balls. (10 hits= 1 star ball and so on)

SSB Goku and Vegeta can upgrade their levels 3 with 2 more bars (like Gohan).

Tien drains health with his Tri Beam.

Yamcha is for begginers, Tien is for veterans.

 

Story Mode will give you options which may lend into different cutscenes.

I can picture it:

"What will you do now?"

-The right thing

-The Goku thing

[DiamondX]

Apparently, Yamcha will break the 4th wall, knowing that he is controlled by the player:

"Wow! You guys are really making me look really good now."

[Prince Weiss]

this seems like a decent fighting game

Some new details from GameInformer as screenshotted by MsDBZBabe http://msdbzbabe.tumblr.com/post/166489349601/game-informer-dragon-ball-fighterz-scans

A short summary:

-DBZF Special Moves will only use the controller input needed to fire Hadoukens in Street Fighter. No Shoryuken command, etc.
-Button mashing can work, but that produces meager combos with little reward, meaning newcomers will have to learn timing and when to go in to increase the damage output

-Throws are combo starters

-Air dashes and jump cancels like in GG

-One ki meter can be spent to teleport behind the opponent to instantly close the gap.

=Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta are separate characters because the Battle Planner on the team felt that Goku and Vegeta have so much background to work with it would be difficult/unfair to condense all of it into a single character moveset.

-Golden Freeza is on a time limit, but if the player has one ki meter when Freeza powers down, Sorbet can be called to fire a laser that must be dodged so Freeza can get through his cooldown from the powerdown.

-Flying is impossible outside of Ultimate Attack cinematics for some characters.

-SSB Goku's cherry tapping punch he did on Golden Freeza in the F movie is a command grab.

-SSB Goku and Vegeta are offensive fighters, but while SSB Goku has multiple ways to approach the opponent, Vegeta has multiple options to capitalize when he's actually closed the gap.

-Yamcha's Wolf Fang Fist is essentially Marth's Dancing Blade from Smash Bros: an auto-combo move that can change in hitboxes and size depending on the directional button pressed during the hits, and each outcome knocks the opponent in a different way to better suit Yamcha's current position. Yamcha's Spirit Ball is like a projectile Dancing Blade as well.

-Tien can call Chiaotzu for a stun lock.

-Completing specific actions in the middle of a match will award the players with Dragonballs. If all seven are collected, according to Bamco, the result will "represent a system that isn't found in any other fighting game, and is a brand new feature to the Dragonball games."

-The story of the game takes place after the Z timeline. And the plot is malleable; certain actions taken during the fights will change the course of the plot.

Nappa and Ginyu are the next characters in FighterZ.

Game releases February 1st in Japan.

[Jango]

This game will end up having more characters that we anticipated. Which is great!! 

No free flying in the match, tho' :/

So far we have 15 characters IIRC.

They wanted to add flying and they even did for an alpha but they said that it kinda took the fighting game part away.

Nappa with Saibamen is an interesting idea. He's big and burly so he's a big target, but if he can have contact-sensitive Saibamen assisting him, he could command the stage.

 

Everyone will now have to learn how to play as Ginyu just in case, and that's hilarious.

[DiamondX]

Apparently, the story will also have you being conmected to the characters.

At first, you will be connected to Goku. In the Androids chapter, you will be connected to 18 and so on.

The connection will increase over time and you will be able to reach secret thoughts of the charaters(Yamcha wanting to get married, Vegeta not liking Bulma's personality). You will also be able to fight, train, save allies and more.

I've just come up with an interesting character concept for this game.

Buutenks.

 

The reason why I chose him, you will see later. For his special attacks, he could have Gotenks' Galactic Donuts and have himself split in half. For his Meteor Smash, maybe the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack?

Now, the fights in this game last 5 minutes. Let's say, after 2 minutes he trasnforms into...

Buucolo.

That's right. If you remember, after Gotenks' fusion ran off, Buu became Piccolo since he was the strongest out of the three.

However, he was weaker. So he would be weaker than his previous form, but to give him an advantage, he would be faster.

He could still use the splitting attack that Buutenks has and get the Light Grenade, with the Special Beam Cannon as his Meteor Smash.

 

Let me know what you think about the idea.

[Vec]

I think that if they add another Buu, it'll be the Kid form

[Jango]

They could just add Super Buu and give him 3 transformations. Level 1 is Buucolo, Level 2 is Buutenks and Level 3 is Buuhan.

[Teoskaven]

You mean like a stance system?
