RUMOR: Bulma Playable in DBFZ (Rumor confirmed false)
- Thread starter Chindogg
- Start date
Why though? Id take Kale or Caulifla over Bulma... Can't even imagine how she would fight... I know SUPER Dragon Ball Z had Chichi playable, but we know she can fight, she trained Goten for a while.
I do want more female fighters in the game, but I want fighters that are actually... fighters. You've got Chi-Chi, Videl, Pan, Caulifla and Kale just off the top of my head.
ALSO
With all these side-characters making it in I'm gonna be proper irritated if his Lord Beerus doesn't make it in.

Chi-Chi is one of the strongest martial artists on the planet. At least at the end of DB.
This has probably already been said, but everyone in the roster (except 16, Yamcha, and Tien who were assists) were playable in the 3DS game Extreme Butoden. The remaining characters not in Fighterz but in Extreme Butoden are Beerus, Gotenks, Kid Buu, Adult Gohan, Raditz, Broly, and Bardock. He's pretty much a lock since it seems Arc is pulling most of the roster from that game.
Launch was never a "Dragon Ball Z" character. She was in DBZ for that DB nostalgia, but despite her quirk, i don't think she belongs in the DBZ roster.
well, Bulma doesn't either, but here we are.

Bulma is one character that's generally always around so her inclusion is valid, even if as a joke character. This is a game where Krillin can defeat Frieza, it doesn't have to make sense.
Bulma could be pretty interesting, though given the game's systems, I think she might end up being awkward if they let her teleport too. And while I might like Launch better, she doesn't really have as much to work with as Bulma does, who could bring in much more exotic weaponry that could conceivably hurt some of the Z fighters. If ArcSys takes a page from its Extreme Butoden game, it could have her use the gravity room that Dr. Briefs had as his assist.
Phoenix Wright is not a fighter too, yet he's in Marvel 3 and it's a blast to see him move / "fight". Same goes for Norimaro in Marvel vs Street Fighter.
It's fine if Chichi or Videl are the girls you'd like to see in DBZF, but let's not act like adding Bulma to the roster is a mistake.
It's clever, and it's totally expected, because Arc System.
They could make her a gadgeteer character and have use guns and capsules.
Plus, come on guys, plenty of games had Mr. Satan playable, sure he's a fighter, but i bet a gadget equipped Bulma could beat him.
I mean all those other characters are going to just be punchy beamy character, or just punchy in the case of Videl and Chi-Chi. No thanks, this game is not lacking in that department.
I am not sure what MvC has to do with this. To me, Bulma makes zero sense to be in this game, regardless of how nonsensical other games are.
So how do you justify characters like Yamcha beating ResF Frieza?
We sure are taking pretty big leaps in logic.
I accept that DBZ games need to have throw away characters compete with characters much stronger, otherwise you'll have a roster of Goku, Vegeta, and the latest villain. I just think it's silly to have characters that don't fight or do anything over characters which do.
She'd be an interesting choice. Not like DB has a wealth of great female fighters to choose from, sadly.
That's actually pretty cool if true, cant wait to see her move set. Hopefully we get the other ladies in more games too.
I guess I just don't get why it's such a hang up for some people. It's a silly fighting game where a team consisting of Yamcha,Tien, and Krilling can beat Frieza,Cell, and Buu. I don't see the harm in adding a fighter like Bulma who would surely have a very unique move set and gives us some much needed female representation.
Plus this means we can have a Vegeta family team. Add Chi-Chi next and we can get Family Feud Dragon Ball edition.
Not necessarily. It's an original story, characters who have no reason to fight or can't because of strength might be able to here. I mean, they have to justify Nappa/Ginyu being in the game. Yamcha, Krillin, and Tien might not be all that strong but contribute none the less, but Nappa and Ginyu are long gone in DB.
It looks like it was a mistake, and they go further to say she isn't even playable at all:

I mean it's "Buu" in the game. Even if it's interchangeable like Freeza and Frieza, it seems odd to go with the spelling not used in the game.
Calling it such a hang up is a bit of a misnomer in my case. I just see this and go "there are a dozen other characters I'd rather see. Oh well." If a lot of people are really happy to see her, that's great. It's just my preference to have others.
The leap in logic was assuming that because I think including non-fighters does not make sense in a DBZ game means I should also think including a weak fighter does not make sense in a DBZ game. As I said, I accept weaker characters for the sake of roster variety. I just think there are far better options than Bulma which both make sense in the universe and offer female representation. But again, it's really not a big deal.
Oh right, yeah i agree then, it's strange.
Edit : Well, they cleared it up. Rip Bulma. Time to believe again for Launch :x
Disappointing to be honest.
Ah well Kale,Caulifla,and Ribrianne for DLC.
As expected. I was excited at the prospect of her being playable, but it did came off as an error.
Unless there's a statement from the developers that confirms this, I don't think that's true
The model and animations found are fully used in the tutorial and if a game like BT3 didn't feature her in the roster, I can't see how she could have landed on a smaller and focused roster
Yeah we definitely wouldn't want anything DB related to look silly

God. Damn. It. How fucking awesome would it have been to have a team of Bulma, Chi Chi, and Videl
So lame. Sigh, here we snooze fest kid buu and adult Gohan.
Sarcasm aside, you have your preferences and I have mine. There are parts of the Dragonball universe I like and dislike, as well as varying levels of "silliness" that I enjoy and dislike.
