RUMOR: Bulma Playable in DBFZ (Rumor confirmed false)
- Thread starter Chindogg
- Start date
Well, sad, but it didn't make much sense.
Bulma over the few girls who actually did throw a punch/kick in the manga?

Chi-Chi using Goku's Nimbus and Power Pole along with his moves from DB would be better I feel. A nice amalgam of Goku's classic moves from way back when.
That's like if you're the biggest A17 fan, and end up having your favorite character an assist to another one.
Bulma could be neat in theory, but while there isn't a ton of female characters in the series, there are already some available that actually are on the level or stronger than the roster we have right now. They should focus on adding them first. I personally don't want to see any Yajirobe / Mr. Satan tier chars in the game at all even as DLC unless they are random assists like Chiaotzu. I know Super isn't as popular as Z, but right now its producing the most female fighters the Dragon Ball series has seen and I'd be down to see more of em!
That being said, if there was any regular person that could create a device to harm someone that could become a god, it would be Bulma. She made a time machine lol.

I'm really curious as to why this came from a Youtuber rather than from Bamco themselves. We can't get an official confirmation or denial?
I really wanted Bulma, then this has to happen? It doesn't look like this guy has too much pull, but I can believe it. They got my hopes up for a fun character, but now we're going to get Broly or Bardock or Kid Buu or some other boring fighter...
This honestly just hurt my hype for the game a little. I was hoping they'd go crazy for the 4 Base Roster characters we didn't already have a strong idea about.
except there are literal other women fighters (if that's the diversity you're complaining about) that have yet to be included in the roster hence "why bother with a non-combat character"
because she even as a "joke character" or w/e else ppl are describing her as wouldn't at all fit in with the theme of the game. what would that move set be? just her throwing capsules with every button? what's the point
i didn't say it wasn't uncommon, my point is in *this* fighting game it would make no sense. Even Launch would've made more sense considering she actually did something combat related
Bulma is a lot more iconic and would make for a much more interesting fighting style than any of them too.
Honestly, I don't see why a non-combatant becoming a playable character makes less sense in this game in particular compared to when it happens in other fighting games.
exactly this. they're aiming for such a 1:1 representation her being a fighter would've been completely out of whack
A shame. While Roll isn't a fighter either she still had multi appearances in Capcom's VS series.
For story they could have s few of those clones attack her home but have be ready with a mecha she built using tech learned from Geero and Wheelo.
Even when it comes to Arc themselves they had a Celica, a character who can't fight, be playable in BlazBlue by giving her a robot maid guardian.

No offense to Rhymestyle, but I would like a transcript of the email before I believe they told him she definitely won't be in. So far the only character confirmed 100% to not be in the game is Tao Pai Pai. I find it odd they'd not only confirm a second character is out, but do so via an email chain with Rhymestyle.
I watched Rhymestyle's last video on the DLC stuff and he made some wild claims about the game, so forgive me if I'm not down to just take his word for it. I don't doubt Bandai Namco confirmed the error, I simply doubt they confirmed Bulma is 100% out.
I don't think she's going to be in but her not being a fighter doesn't matter.
Arc has made plenty of crazy fighters and previous Dragon Ball games have made Bulma and characters like her playable.
Why is non fighters being playable such a hang up for some people?
which dragon ball games are you talking about?
Dragon ball evolution? Now that's a game that follows the source material.
Besides Android 21, there's always DLC for the more recent DBS females from the other universes.
I think the concern is mainly on how closely ASW is sticking with the anime & manga in terms of referencing DBZ & DBS.
True probably not the best representation.
Still we've had things like Super Dragon Ball Z's take on Chi-Chi to show that you can do more then just what's in the show but still be faithful.
ASW is sticking to the anime/manga.. they said so since day one yet people keep dreaming about bulma in a mech nonsense along with Chi-Chi.. just stop torturing yourselves lol.
Monthly reminder that Bulma is a fucking savage
episode 1, hits a kid with a car, then shoots him in the face
we need her

Do you have a quote for this? While there clearly being faithful I don't see why they can't get creative with certain characters later down the line.
It's not like there isn't precedence for it. See the Persona Arena games.
I don't see why this needs to be a die hard rule.
Because there are plenty of actual fighting characters that have yet to appear and giving a slot to a non fighter over them is ridiculous. Making Bulma a fighter is the sort of desperate move that happens only after all other sources have been exhausted. There are other female characters that actually have fighting ability they could use long before having to slum it like that.
Good. I know this may not be a popular opinion but I want this game to be about fighters.
Which means actual good fighters with nice movesets and not joke characters or weak characters.
If you want female characters, there's some to find like Caulifla or even Zangya.

That's because we're not sure to get that much FighterZ goodness. A Dragonball game looking and playing as good might be an exception. So it's a shame that something that looks so good wont be about over the top looking fights and roster.
