Timed exclusive. Microsoft's slick wording really works sometimes to trick people.

The Beta is a timed exclusive to Xbox, which is probably, counter intuitively, a negative.

Do you guys think there will be a large amount of characters or will it just be saiyans and villains

I dunno. The problem is that it's trying to be a legit fighter and making a character in legit fighters takes way more time. They have to have different play styles and they care about balance issues a lot more.

If I were a betting man I'd say about 20 characters or so on launch.

My bet is there'll be 24 or 30 characters so probably a decent spread of characters

A generally safe bet:

You'll get the Saiyans, Piccolo, and Krillin for sure with a very safe bet on Future Trunks too. You'll get Frieza, Cell, Buu and most likely Beerus. A good possibility is Android 18 (because otherwise they'll have no lady fighters at all unless they go into modern Super.) Odds are pretty good on Mr. Satan because they can do fun wacky things with his animations and they like doing that. Aside from those seemingly safe guesses it depends on how far they intend to go from Z, but that particular list seems like all the safe guesses.

Other safe guesses include Bardock and Broly because no video game ever skips Bardock and Broly. Especially Broly.

Also here's some more gameplay

Will Bardock go Super Saiyan 3, though?

I don't think Nappa, Raditz, Dabura or Recoome are that safe a bet. I'd expect Tien and Gotenks over those.

It will be more than just Saiyans and Villains but i'm expecting around 20-25 characters.

I think they are simply for character variation. You got a second swordy and 3 grappler type characters.

16 would be a much more interesting character than either 17/18 since they could go wild with all his robot stuff like the rocket fists.

We're for sure getting Goku and Vegeta, their family, Gotenks, the three iconic villains, probably Beerus and Whis, hopefully Android 17/18, Gotta have at least some of the Z fighters so Krillin Piccolo and oh let's say Yamcha just for the laughs.

So that's 16 just in the basic 'this is a dragon ball game you probably need these guys' camp. Add in Satan because Arcsys loves silly characters and he can do fun things, maybe take a few deeper but still iconic cuts like Ginyu, Future Trunks, and Android 16.

That gets us to a 20 man roster already just going through the basics. I imagine since it's dipping into Super we could see someone cool like Zamasu added in, maybe a couple deeper cuts like Zarbon or Dabura and you have a pretty meaty roster for a game like this.

I just hope we get cool team stuff, like I think we saw a a Father Son Kamehameha in a trailer, give us more combos like that, throw in some invented silly things like Satan and Buu doing something funny and I'm good to go.

That's basically standard by this point, with Extreme Butoden (also ASW, four Gokus) and Xenoverse 2 (five Gokus, not counting Black) proving it.

Considering Freeza can become Golden but Goku only becomes Super Saiyan 3, I expect a "Super" Goku whose only difference is becoming Super Saiyan Blue for his ultimate.

Did I just see Frieza get hit with his own Double Slicer attack after Gohan dodged? That's amazing. (about 2:30) ed: OK gohan got hit too, but still, that's awesome.

So as someone who maybe played one early Guilty Gear game, this kind of looks like DBZ meets Marvel vs Capcom. Fair?

Also, with the 3v3 format I'd be surprised if there's no team bonus for Radditz, Napa and Vegeta. Probably get at least a Kid Buu if not a Super Buu in there

As cool as this looks though, I will probably pass. This looks like a game I'm just too old and slow to play and have a good time.

It would be pretty neat if character transformations were treated as a comeback mechanic like X-factor was in MvC3. Though I guess that would only work for a few of the characters.

Apparently Bandai-Namco wanted exactly that, a MvC-style Guilty Gear starring Dragon Ball characters. So yes, it's fair.

I haven't seen or heard anything about this anywhere. People seem more concerned that it didn't sell well enough to justify a sequel.

I watched maxamillion dudes thoughts on fighter z and he was noting that the fighters felt very samey. I really hope there is some individuality between them, as that is what ruined extreme butoden on the 3DS for me :(
