Dragon Ball FighterZ adds Trunks

I guess Trunks will just have both blue and purple hair as pallet swaps from now on... so I don't see the issue. A lazy omission in DB games from now on if he doesn't honestly.
 
Because where it debuted is irrelevant to whether or not it's in this game or not. What's relevant is popularity and importance to the franchise above all else. You even pretty much say this in your other response:

If it doesn't matter if Broly is canon or not, why would it matter if a character debuted exclusively in Super? The characters from Super are just as popular in the modern Dragon Ball fandom as any other popular Dragon Ball character.

You're right, I'm not disputing any of that. I'm simply saying that Golden Frieza's isn't a DBS-exclusive character and, as of right now, it's completely possible for there to be a technically DBZ only roster.

I'm personally quite happy with characters from the movies (Janemba plz), GT and Super being included. In fact it would be good if there was at least a little representation from each to keep everyone happy.
 
Hehehehe



In the manga his main characteristic is having the same hair color as his mother

The anime changed Bulma's hair color from lavender to Blue, so Toriyama's been trying to make Trunks match since the DB revival movie battle of Gods. He got his way in Super because he has more control on the designs


I don't think Toriyama cares or touches anything about related DB or DQ. No one will convince me that he's actually involved in DBS.

No they aren't. Kale, a Broly parody character, is not nearly as popular as Broly. Not even remotely close.

Goku Black isn't fractionally as popular as Cell. He couldn't be.

And it goes on.

Keep telling yourself that.

Beerus,Goku Black and Hit are an immensely popular characters

This is exactly like the Battlefront II threads with the prequel characters "They aren't popular! They can't be!"

If they're not in this game, you will definitely see a lot of people dissapointed

The man himself says he is involved and we even know exactly which parts of the story he's written and what characters he's designed, most recent one being Caulifla

Jesus what's with the ddenial of Super in this thread!?

He started DBS because the US movie legitimately pissed him off. It was an ego thing.

He's also the reason why DBS got a massive upgrade in animation quality. He was pretty furious with the early episodes.

Arc should give Trunks "Greed Sever", and make the circle complete.

Ky players prefer missionary sex only for procreation. Let's not turn one of the best DB characters into Ky. Thanks.

Yes, I'm sure Goku Black and Hit are just as popular as Cell and Buu without them even appearing in the English dub of the anime. And the female Broly clone is also just as big as the original who has three movies to himself, and is in bunch of games. Lol

He's invested in it quite a bit, but he's doing a different process than what he did with his original Dragonball manga.

For one he's no longer writing at the flick of the wrist on a week-by-week basis anymore. Toriyama writes a story outline from start to finish and gives it to TOEI for the anime and Toyotaro for the manga.

He also does character designs for most of the major new characters. Lately he's been allowing Toyotaro do some original character designs as well:


He's also doing some art corrections for the Super manga as well as coming up with some gags for it (one was even used in the anime as well).

"In-jokes" and other referential gags of this sort are pretty much right up Arc's alley, though.

I mean, a version of Noel in BBCP got a take on Toki's Hokuto Ujou Danjin Ken from HnK, among other things they've done. It'd be just the kind of thing I could see them sneaking in, because of the voice actor the two chars share in common.

I really don't like Supers character designs... There's even something off about the way Goku and Vegeta look there. I can't put my finger on it but it all looks bad/cheap.

With so much beams and stuff.. might as well have her play like BB Hood/tron bonne. Might feel outta place.

Grenades, shotgun blast that causes wall bounces, could be sick.

I don't watch Super though, so I'm not sure if she even has grenades, haha. I just really like her design.

Toriyama changed his style to a more simplistic/reserved one. That's the difference you notice.

He had the short and fat style in DB, muscle man for DBZ, lean and simple for DBS

You need to take a look at Toyotaro's manga, everything is sexy. Also, the anime itself is looking much better nowadays, they've really made an effort to strike a balance between Super's previous artstyle and Z's artstyle.
 
I really, really want Future Gohan with one arm. Fighting with him would be so fucking badass.

I think mystic Gohan is probably a sure thing.. but I have a feeling they want to keep the roster diverse so idk if another "Gohan" would be in the works. I really hope for kid Buu.

How does that in any way debunk the fact that Golden Frieza debuted in a Dragon Ball Z movie, not in Dragon Ball Super?

Let's just forget that and focus on the current arc with Golden chocolate frieza making sweet love to your earsdrums.

No seriously, his second reappearance is exactly what the first one should have been. Forget the first, the second is the first.
 
Would be great if they did character reveal trailers for this game. Maybe they're planning on it, but have a deal with Jump to give them exclusive story for a week or so.

Really I'm just dying for more direct feed footage of this game, haha.

If that's what you want, give Kame/Master Roshi an ero meter similar to Sin's hunger meter. That way he has to read porn to power up.

Maybe they are holding off because they want to reveal characters in sets of 3? Would be alot more hype.

Hey, I'd be down (if censorship likely didn't have other plans). This kind of thing is what makes characters fun and unique to play in Arc games.

A Yamcha that's based on his Super counterpart and utilizes an evolution on Junpei's baseball gameplay would be fun to see play out, too!
 
i know this reveal was probably planned a long time ago but after all of the good media they received at e3 they need to reveal future characters in a better way.

It would be cool if there were character specific interactions.
For example if Trunks finishes Freeza with a sword special he gets cut in half.
 
I guess Trunks will just have both blue and purple hair as pallet swaps from now on... so I don't see the issue. A lazy omission in DB games from now on if he doesn't honestly.

This is such an obvious thing to do, I don't think they'll miss it. My only concern is that they might save it for premium color DLC... which I could see happening since they do that for some of the neater colors in BlazBlue/Guilty Gear.

I need Piccolo in this game now. I figured Trunks would be in, but to hear it officially makes me heart sing for this game.

As a fighting game fan and not really a DBZ fan, I hope for more designs that aren't spiky haired blond guys, lol.
