I would have to look up but Hiroki has been clear from the get go, that they are staying close to the source material. The problem is many people are viewing this from a budokai perspective with all the quirky characters which ain't happening.
We already got Yamcha mang...and Boo has a super that turns you into a biscuit.
Despite Yamcha being irrelevant and a joke when it comes to contributing, he actually has a legit moveset and he had his moments in DB.
...but Yamcha being able to kick SSB Goku and Vegeta's ass is as over the top as it gets ;)
Chi-Chi in super dragon ball z is far from what I'd call faithful. They took a lot of liberties with her moveset.
Yeah. They are sticking closely to the source. No original nonsense.
If you trying to be cheeky about that, it's very easy android 21 is a new character introduced for the game so have the liberty to do what they want (it's a new story too). Listen, I get the disappointment that some may have.. but y'all should start getting prepared.
Android 21 is a new character made for the game. So far, she's not confirmed as a playable character. Even if she were confirmed as a playable character, she's a blank slate. They can do whatever they want with her moveset.
Yamcha is a fighter though. If we're talking about him not being able to stand up to SSB Goku or Vegeta, we might as well not put anyone other than them, Beerus and Hit.
It's not a popular opinion because there's always weird canon power matchups in tons and tons of fighting games. It comes with the genre.
This is my personal opinion on the matter, in order for a dragon ball character to be considered they should have the following requirements:
...I know? I mean, I'm fully aware it's a rumor.
Ooooh. Then my mistake! I should have read the whole thread and not some parts of it, lol.
You're spot on here, there's no reason to include as a fighter someone who has never fought once in 500+ episodes of Dragonball source material. The line of thinking that she should be included has zero logical basis.
Eh, not completely. I agree with Crazy Izanagi that your post is doing a pretty big disservice to Bulma as a character. She's not a fighter, but she isn't a throwaway character who's only importance is the dragon radar and the ship to Namek. The series would go completely sideways for the heroes at multiple points without her around.
Should have been Chi-Chi.
Super Dragon Ball Z for PS2 had a cool version of her.
I didn't say she is a throwaway character. I said she is a plot device. She's integral to the story but she's not a character that participates in fights. Arcs happen and move forward because of her presence but she doesn't fight at any point in the entire series.
Nice generalization there, friend. I would want her in because she is, by far, the single most prominent female character in the entire franchise since its inception and I'd argue that after so many games have come and gone she's finally due some representation in the series she helped popularize. But apparently even that is too much to ask for some because of "muh serious fighterz only" or something, in a game where Yamcha and Nappa can beat the shit out of SSB Goku and Golden Frieza. Some fans, man.
Yamcha and Nappa, *gasps* fight. Bulma, doesn't.
I think we're just gonna have to agree to disagree since we do seem to just be going in circles. And as I said, the point is moot anyway given that the rumor has been debunked already. Though I still fail to see how the concept of wanting to see more females represented in a Dragon Ball game is apparently so alien and unbecoming.
