Every Character Has a Specific, Unique Fighting Style
So far, only six characters have been confirmed for the title but the devs promise a diverse roster is on the way. The Dragon Ball Z universe is one that’s so expansive and downright quirky that there’s no telling what other characters might make their way into the game and how their own unique abilities will be utilized for gameplay. For now, however, we do know that the franchise’s most iconic characters will be present and ready to duke it out. Goku, Vegeta, Buu, Cell, Gohan and Frieza have all been confirmed for the game. The absence of characters like Piccolo and Broly feels a bit disheartening but there is a strong chance such characters will be included in the final roster. What is more apparent now, however, is that the six characters chosen for the initial demo are not only the most iconic but they also offer the most diversity in their play styles.
Here’s the play style description for each confirmed character:
Goku—An all-rounder with many handy attacks! Kamehameha may wipe out enemy’s ki attacks. Punish the opponent with Meteor Smash!
Vegeta—A rush character with many up close attacks. Turn the tables with Crusher Knee Kick and finish the opponent with Ki Blast Rush!
Gohan—A character without much reach but with powerful attacks. Counter the opponent’s attacks with Dragon Flight. For opponents up in the air, launch the Kamehameha!
Frieza—A character with many long range attacks! You can throw large rocks with the Heavy Attack! Use the Death Saucer that can only be dodged.
Cell—A versatile, and in a sense, Perfect character! Good in both short range and long range combat! No one can guard Telekinesis Crush.
Majin Buu—The unlikely strong character! Your standing B attack can’t be blocked while crouching and you can do long range damage with Jump+B! Distance yourself from the enemy with Cartwheel.
