If you want to gently caress up your team play Gohan and refuse to block and demand that all your assists cover your sloppy play.

That or demand you and your opponent bow first before fighting.

The main thing is that Fortune has very little in terms of pre-combo setup. The head's either between you and the enemy, behind the enemy, or behind you. The first is dangerous, the second safe but hard to leverage, and the third is what you want most of the time.

You do want to eventually learn head -> headless transition combos but they're super easy compared to some of the other stuff you have to learn to really play Fortune well so w/e.

I don't know if you know this, but there was a change so that the head can walk now, which makes a lot of setup stuff easier now that you can be precise. And I never learned a headless transition combo, and I do alright with her still. It's probably preferred but there's nothing wrong with just finding the right spot in neutral to head toss because of how good it normally is.

Having the head between you and the opponent can be really good actually. It will take damage, but in getting hit it can interrupt the opponent hitting you directly, leaving the body free to punish the opponent. It's also a great asset if you are close enough to hit the head. Hitting the head turns it into a lingering hitbox that's very difficult for a bunch of characters to deal with and nets you a safer approach, and you can jump cancel your launcher (even on block I think) if you hit the head which is extremely useful in many ways.

That said, I think she's more simple than other puppet characters only in that the range of the head is pretty small and that she gets benefits even without manipulating the head itself. So she's a puppet character who doesn't really need to do much puppet stuff, and that's before counting Head-On fortune stuff.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
Yes, I know about the head change. It's handy but my point was mostly that you don't need incredibly exacting advance positioning of the head to do most (if not all) of Fortune's good headless combos anyways; even before the change you had really good options for moving it around or for bringing the enemy to the head.

Goku has a special command where if your teammate is getting their rear end kicked and tries to tag you in you can refuse to help.

In one of the dbz card games my deck was built around Gohan eating a hit which would cause chi chi to enter the battle with a bonus, then play "teacher" buffs until she could one shot frieza

goku automatically cancels any of his attacks that would land the killing blow into "I'll Give You a Second Chance!". Forcefully tags himself in to perform the same special move whenever one of his teammates would land a killing blow.

Hell, she doesn't even need that tbh they put Kid Chi Chi into some of these games

"these games" are usually mechanically shallow and FighterZ seems to actively be avoiding that, so I wouldn't use past DB games as a precedent.

Plus they've put a lot of work into showing almost every aspect of these characters in this game comes from something they've done in the anime or manga, and Videl has very, very little to draw from compared to everyone else.

Mr. Heart in the Hokuto no Ken anime is basically just around for a cup of coffee before being killed, and Arc still managed to give him a unique and full-fledged movelist in the HnK game.

Why does the game being more mechanically sound suddenly stop them from adding characters who barely fight when most of these games have those? Like idk what part of you thinks that somehow stops a character from being added but Arcsys does this poo poo all of the time and they do not need movesets to pull from see: Rise, Kokonoe, Mr. Heart, and Celica.

Like I don't think this leak is infallible, but your logic is not really convincing since it's a point that's been proven wrong time and time again.

A FUN FACT about that is Falcon's moveset belonged to a character in the original prototype version of what Smash 64 was going to be before they replaced generic characters with Nintendo mascots and made history. He is the prototype gear, he is the Sol Badguy of Smash.

It owns that we're getting chars from later Dragonball Super arcs in DBFZ. I want Hit, the Pride Troopers, the furry trio, the fat magical girl, Beerus (lv5 super: Whis teleports in and punches once) Champa w/ fighting vuvuzela action.......

I hope that one of the costumes for android 18 is just playable 17 with 18 as the assist char.

all of this assuming the leaks are true, ofc, but it seems hella plausible

i dont like this idea not because Ice Climbers or melty Maids are cool, but because making Gotenks an install means you cant realistically make a whole suite of moves for him and that dude has like 40 unique moves. hes the dante of dbz

its possible. i mean arcsys could have seriously figured a good workaround to the issue; or maybe all of their per-frame lighting is far more automated so all they have to do is cinematics and touchups per costume

The per-frame lighting is done by moving a light source around, the mesh itself has static vertex occlusion. The only extra animation work you need when making costumes the Xrd way is making the mesh swaps for unusual deformations if the costume alters them. This is not, in fact, the titanic undertaking that most people misunderstand it to be.

It just feels very different from how they're drawing from stuff for everything else in the game. Maybe Videl will be an entirely different approach, and I certainly wouldn't object if she got in. It'd make the roster a fair bit more interesting than it does now, as it still strikes me as kinda boring.

But we'll see I guess. I'm just rather skeptical.
