As someone who enjoyed the Budokai trilogy more than the later entries with all the weird 3d shit, this looks straight up my alley.

This was literally one of the worst aspects of Marvel for me, and they fixed it. Thank you based Arc Sys.
MVCI is dead to me at this point
What's MVCI at this point tbh
This looks fantastic, but the lack of Female Fighters will prolly be a dealbreaker for me :/ (I dont know the Dragonball Universe, but i remember only some Robotic Female Fighter, the rest is all male right?)
They could slot in some female fighters, but that's always been a problem in general with DBZ. Not a ton of strong females.
Gender balance and overall roster size are the only two moderate hesitations I have about this game, and even those are kind of "ehh, as long as the rest is good"
I'd say a 3v3 fighter has to have at least 30 characters to be reasonably sized, and I'm not sure how that pans out without dipping too hard into different forms of the same character (Gohan, Trunks, and Buu are the only ones I'd accept duplicates of without much complaint) and actually making all their moves unique. Obviously DBZ has a fuckhuge roster, and even moreso if they're pulling from Super content which Golden Frieza seems to suggest, but only a handful are really fleshed out enough to have a unique style. Obviously they should throw show cannon power levels out the window in order to maintain balance, I'm just not sure I'm ready to see Yamcha beat the shit out of SSJ3 Goku. That's the one thing that the Budokai games sidestepped by just making some characters outright weaker.
Edit: mental math on character roster
Spoiler: show
depends on how far they go in the canon, there are two female saiyans now in super, I believe, I'm a bit behind though
The video already shows Golden Freeza, so they're going DBS territory.
I wouldn't be surprised to see either Califlua or Kale (the two female saiyans nivlakian mentioned) being added alongside C18
Uh, Nappa please.
