16 definitely has the grapple man moves so that's neat, and 17/18's team moves are sick. sorta underwhelmed by what I've seen of piccolo so far but mostly just because they were more interested in showing his energy moves than his stretchy buttons

two things I noticed from the trailer

1. From the story mode bits Bulma and 18 are wearing outfits from Super so hopefully that will put to rest if this game can use stuff from there

2. Krillin can do Accel Dance with 18 instead of 17? I wonder if its random which you get

specifically they're "early unlocks" which makes me wonder if that just means they're going to be either DLC down the line for everyone else or something you can get in the game already (like for beating story mode or something)

At one point in the trailer you see Piccolo doing Hellzone Grenade (which I assume is super that cost meter) but he's targeting 17 instead who has his energy field up while 18 does a generic "teleport out of there" animation.

Wonder if that means 17 and 18 can be swapped on who your controlling or if there's some kind of defense players can use with the two to negate beam supers.

My guess is Energy Field is just a Super where 17 comes in and puts up a barrier and that was just a freeze frame of Hellzone happening during that to reference the Piccolo/17 fight

Or that :v:

Ah well, still a neat trailer. I'm not super into fighting games as whenever I try them I get all ham handed and forget my combos but I'm still kinda interesting in this game.

I mean if they started in June that would mean in Early 2018 it will be like 160% done.

There's a 140 dollar collecter's edition. and SSB Goku and Vegeta are preorder bonuses.

Iiiiii dunno, this has me a bit worried.

This has nothing to do with Capcom. Going from a game that's 20 percent complete to fully featured in eight to nine months is pretty farfectched.

caved and bought sf5 during that capcom sale over the weekend on steam and was kind of bummed to only have access to maybe 2/3 of the roster by default. i forgot games are like this now.

edit: i mean i understand having to play through story modes and poo poo to unlock things, but this game straight-up just revolves around competitive play. i was happy dhalsim was available by default, but when i went to purchase his costume using the in-game money it directed me to a steam transaction window for $3. weak!

The pre-order just unlocks SSB Goku and Vegeta early, you can unlock them by playing through the base game regularly.

I know you're desperate to find reasons not to like this game, but it'll be fine

They said the same stuff about Xrd's development, it's just a completely meaningless number they throw out there.

actually it has everything to do with capcom because they cannot put out a complete loving game. ArcSys has an almost pristine record when it comes to fully featured excursions and actually knowing how to make a fighting game in 2017.

idk why a massive special edition is something to worry about. This is DBZ, why wouldn't they take advantage of the fact that this will be their most popular release ever?

Don't put words in my mouth.

I love Dragon Ball. Why the hell would I want this to be bad? Just because I'm critical of character choices doesn't mean I'm trying to hate it.

The early unlock thing is good though and it puts that concern to rest, though. You could have just said THAT instead of making this about something it isn't.

Expensive collectors editions and pre-order bullshit have dragged many a game down before, and combined with my worries about the release date they set off a bunch of warning bells in my head.

I don't dislike ArcSys. But Capcom isn't the first group of people to rush a game out for development. ArcSys may have a "spotless record", but they're working on a license with a larger publisher who can be very hit or miss in this regard. I'm not worried about ArcSys, I'm worried about Bamco.

Early unlocks are just an Arcsys thing, all it does is force you to play story mode to "buy" the characters. Special editions are whatever too, it's just something for mega-fans/people with more disposable income than me to dump money on so they can have their statues/artbooks.

A worryingly rushed development cycle of Dragon Ball FighterZ. Perhaps they should delay the game by a year and spend the time monologuing and charging up instead.
