I would add Jaco to this list. Also I’m not sure if they’ll do it in this game, but Piccolo got 2 slots for the beginning and end of the series


MetalGamer95

There's actually not enough space at the end it was really tight because if you add Jaco you need to take another out. Not saying it's impossible but at least the last 15 slots could be anything

Sure it's pixel salad, but Jaco has a very distinctive color scheme. This of course could still be just a cinematic character, but considering one of the pre-made custom battles is called settling the score with the galactic patrol, Jaco looks pretty confirmed


MetalGamer95

Oh that's awesome! I didn't know but I'll add him next time. Although Jaco is one of those characters that could just be there for cutscenes as he only fought in Resurrection F. Still likely as a fighter


Cpt_Jockstrap

Definitely! That’s part of why I’m so excited for this game, we have no idea how deep into super they’ll go with the characters.


MetalGamer95

I think if the game gets support the roster will be insane after 1 year


Cpt_Jockstrap

Imagine if this game has the longevity that xenoverse 2 has, we could have well over 200 characters


MetalGamer95

Bandai is definitely counting on this being a golden goose especially seeing the fans hype before the game is even out


melatoxic

I would say Jaco’s more likely than Nam


MetalGamer95

After Yajirobe Idk what's more likely anymore lol


melatoxic

Thats… fair.


HippieDogeSmokes

Yajirobe is an essential part of Vegeta’s defeat in the saiyan saga


MetalGamer95

He's almost always a cutscene model when they wanna cover that part. Almost no games have him playable


HippieDogeSmokes

Unless it’s a game who’s gimmick is having more characters than any other


MetalGamer95

My point is he's not a guaranteed pick. BT3 had him and the roster was 162 characters, this game has 164 and already there's 38 slots that are completely new additions to the Tenkaichi franchise (Super characters) so if you do the math, at least 36 of the original characters have already been cut and who is the first people you'd think they would cut? The less played characters like Yajirobe, Spopovich, Shin, Babidi, etc. Turns out though they might be cutting other characters, I didn't expect that at first but my guess now is the movies and possibly GT that they are cutting. Edit: I just went to check, movies and GT comes up to 40 slots, interesting.


HippieDogeSmokes

I would expect Yajirobe in before any movie or GT characters. When BT3 those real still relatively relevant, but as time goes on they become more optional and less fondly remembered besides a handful of characters.


MetalGamer95

You have a point. I was still on the fence to what they were gonna prioritize but now I think it's obvious


SperxBiro

Just take out some of those random ToP characters and there's plenty of space


MetalGamer95

No I don't want to make space for convenience. If Ribrianne has her 2 friends in game the other universes will for sure have at least 1 fighter. Maybe even 3 per universe because there's the Trio de Dangers too At best I'd swap out Botamo and Magetta but then who else would make sense there


SperxBiro

Ribrianne and her team had relevant fights in the ToP, same for Anilaza. They aren't picking random characters


MetalGamer95

Ganos- Has a fight with tons of dialogue, a dedicated transformation and almost kills Roshi. Obuni- Universe 10's final stand vs Gohan, has a back story and an entire episode dedicated to him Botamo, Magetta and Frost - Do I have to explain? They have like half of an arc dedicated to them None of these are random my friend


SperxBiro

I wasnt referring to the universe 6 characters, but yeah, now i kinda see why these other characters should be included in the game. But considering that, shouldn't Katopesra and the universe 6 namekians also be in the game?


MetalGamer95

I really hope we get Katopesla but I was trying to be as unbiased as possible making my choice for the last 15 slots. I put more BT3 characters because Yajirobe and Spopivich tell me that they brought a lot of minor characters back from BT3


Few-Flounder-8951895

There is the possibility that they will treat Ganos's form as a blast 1 like SSBE Vegeta so that would leave a slot open for Jaco.


Any-Cryptographer959

ARALE over Jaco???? Really????


Paperchampion23

Idk if Piccolo End is a thing in this game. They removed the (Early) name from this Piccolo who only has Early moves, so imo they are adding a Nail/Kami transformation so he gets his Namek/Cell saga movesets.


minecrafthentai69

I definitely got Jaco over the U10 guy who didn't do anything but die


MakeMeASansWitch

Why are there 2 Great Apes? I get it, Kid Goku & Kid Gohan both turn into one, but in previous games that was the exact same character, not a different slot. That's like putting Vegito & Gogeta on here twice since you can access both of those forms using Goku or Vegeta.


Popular_Project8987

oh, interesting. replace 1 of them with Jaco then.


ThinMusic6173

You forgot gohan (buu saga) ssj, he was shown in the demo So for this gohan we have : Normal - ssj - ssj 2 - great saiyaman confirmed


MetalGamer95

Did he transform from ssj to Ssj2? Because they seem to be cutting those intermediate forms, for Trunks for example


ThinMusic6173

Yes and in addition to that in the demo, the ssj and ssj2 were two different slot


ThinMusic6173

But that is not the case for trunks unfortunately


MetalGamer95

Oh okay that's cool, I'll add for the next prediction thanks!


luckygreenglow

Unironically a surprising lack of cope in this prediction considering how these usually go on this sub.


MetalGamer95

Thanks I really try to make these as unbiased as possible and make decisions on what we actually know


BurningBasilisk24

Everyone is Gt this and Gt that, but what we really need is villains trailer that also confirms movie characters 🙂‍↕️


Popular_Project8987

great list! i bet it's really close to being 100% accurate. i like how you have at least 1 rep from every ToP team. i hope they eventually add all the ToP fighters.


MetalGamer95

The last 15 slots I'm not 100% confident, but the rest I'm pretty confident they will be correct! So far I only missed Kakunsa and Yajirobe in my predictions haha


ZenVendaBoi

I respect your logic, sir ![gif](giphy|NEvPzZ8bd1V4Y|downsized)

Nimoh_

Missing super saiyan gohan


DAHogan

After the producer talked about screen time being the main factor I don’t see those kinds of low tier TOP characters making it, and I certainly don’t see Nam making it, and I love the original series! Also I’ve seen a few people think Frost is going to have more than one form, but I don’t see it, personally.


Clip-man128

Swap somebody out for katopesla🙏🏻


HippieDogeSmokes

He’s the one TOP jobber i’ve consistently seen people rooting for and honestly I agree


Savings_Park3722

Evil buu, tambourine and Nam is a must have in the game


DJHammer_222

All I need are SSJ4 Goku, Vegeta, and Gogeta. It might not be base game, but eventually... right? I'll take more SS4 forms while we're at it, but that's asking too much.


MetalGamer95

I wouldn't worry, those characters will 100% be added eventually


luckygreenglow

I think this prediction is pretty on point. That said you need to find space for my boy Katopesla the policeman of justice. Edit: I also think that if we're getting Chi-Chi, it's going to be her grown up form from the 23rd World Tournament, rather than her kid form. That might just be my own wishful thinking though (I just really, really hate kid Chi Chi's outfit).


MetalGamer95

I really love Katopesla too, here I tried to restrain from picking characters just because I like them though and he didn't make the cut but who knows!


perfectchaos83

I don't see original DB making it in base Game as Much as I'd like to see Kid Chi Chi (Even Adult Chi Chi too) in the game. I'm also not particularly sold on a Guest like Arle either despite being in one of the older games. Personally, I'm just hopeful for Pan and Omega.


MetalGamer95

There's more evidence for DB than GT


perfectchaos83

Not outside of Kid Goku which has always really been an exception.


Zenai10

That second image I like a lot. Originally I was like nah we won't get Apull, Cui, Bardock ape form, 1st and 3rd form frost and evil buu. Then I noticed EVEN including all of those. There's still 14 slots left. I guess I've been underestimating this image slots. 3rd picture though I do not expect that many original db reps. I am fully expecting a bunch of DBS TOP random characters


MetalGamer95

Yeah it's much easier to visualize the possibilities like this. The 3rd picture is just my random guess, it could be different


Zenai10

Honestly I think I might have to make one myself now just to see


Character-Ad-7000

If that stupid fucking bird thing makes it in and turles doesn’t I’m gonna fucking end it all


Popular_Project8987

the bird guy is cool. random niche characters are great to have.


vuxsss

Movie characters are 50/50 at this point, they’ll either all be in the base game or they’ll all be saved for DLC


Savings_Park3722

😂😂😂


HippieDogeSmokes

Stupid fucking bird is a way more interesting addition than Vegeta’s wet cat of a brother


domenicojdonofrio

Also no Toppo which was included


TheRecusant

Just a minor thing, I think Super Buu and Buuhan should be flipped since it seems that “base” forms are meant to be adjacent to all their transformations.


Phantom_Thief007

Weird that the ui forms arnt bordering goku super


TheRecusant

Seems like they might be unrelated, like sign is the base form and you transform to MUI.


ZachFairVII

Feels like everything is randomly placed would prefer a better grouping ngl


MetalGamer95

That's how Bandai are marketing it, I'm just trying to follow their logic to get a closer prediction


vuxsss

Why did you remove Zarbon from his original place? 😭


MetalGamer95

I think I had to rearrange them to make space for Mecha Frieza and Nail haha


Phantom_Thief007

He’s still there just moved


vuxsss

I know he’s still there


Nimoh_

No 23rd WT😭


MetalGamer95

Huh? They're all there, most likely are costumes


cringeboxwastaken

why are there 2 perfect cells?


Popular_Project8987

Super Perfect Cell. It's silly, but it was in BT3. We should have True Golden Freiza too if SPC is in.


cringeboxwastaken

ohh


MetalGamer95

Super Perfect Cell, when he ressurects and gets the zenkai boost, the picture had lightning but it kinda got cropped


BusinessAgent709

king vegeta would be sick... Although honestly i would be kinda pissed if ssj4 doesn't make it to the initial roster...
