Random: Xbox's Major Nelson Seemingly Confirms The Next DLC Character For Dragon Ball FighterZ

A new character that isn't Goku?

@iLikeUrAttitude

Gotta save Ultra Instinct Goku for the 3rd DLC season xd

Glad that Janemba's in though, that guy just oozes potential when it comes to movesets ^_^

@ReaderRagfish Jamemba was the villain of the final DBZ movie, probably why you don't recognize him. Plus, most of the DLC has been DragonBall Super or GT related (the new show) not DBZ.

His name is Larry Hryb, a marketing guy.

What's next, referring to Bill Trinen as Trintran?
It's just a tad childish.

If true, YES!!! It’s the only character I really wanted. Anybody else is gravy. Hope this is true

I bet this was supposed to be a big E3 reveal.
Maybe they'll announce a Season 3 at E3 though. (BUT PLEASE NO MORE GOKUS OR VEGETAS)
Janemba is an... interesting choice.
His movie wasn't that good and he wasn't the most interesting villain, BUT AT LEAST HE WASN'T "ULTRA INSTINCT GOKU" OR "SUPER SAIYAN BLUE EVOLVED VEGETA".

_{Please mind your language - Octane}

I REALLY hope this is true. Janemba was the character I hoped most to see, personally, but ANYone who isn't Goku/Vegeta version 500 is welcome! Master Roshi, Mr. Satan... hell, LAUNCH would be fantastic to play as.

Bamco’s business practise with FighterZ makes me sick to my stomach. Imagine if Smash had only shipped with a handful of characters and you had to pay for the rest.

Was personally hoping for Master Roshi, but Janemba ain't a bad pick.

@zip They get away with it because Dragon Ball has such a rabbid fan base who would be willing to pay anything for more content. I'm one of those people unfortunately.

Am I the only one shcked to see such a minor character? I mean does he ever show up again outside of that one movie?

@iLikeUrAttitude i know right, it's almost as if Goku is the main character of the series

@Heavyarms55
In one spin-off manga and a lot of videogames.

Jenemba's a good choice. Not much to his personality, but his dimension breaking moveset should be fun. I imagine he'll be a counter heavy character, like a Hit 2.0

Also everyone might be tired of Goku, but I'd love a Mastered ULyra Instinct Goku for season 3. Ultra Instinct is such a cool form, and it could have one fun move set to it. It could most likely be very heavily centered around setting up counters.

Janemba, one cool character.

@patbacknitro18 i'm not tired of Goku in the game, he is the main character of the franchise after all, everyone else is secondary at best no matter how much people might like them

complaining about Goku having a big presence in a Dragon Ball game is like complaining that James Bond is the focus of a Bond game or that Mario gets more exposure than Luigi in Mario games

it's just dumb

Love this guy. Underrated villain. Bojack, too.

"I parked in a handicapped spot, is that ok? I'm sorry is 'disabled' the right nomenclature?"

"Maybe you should move the car?"

"No, I probably shouldn't be driving I'm totally drunk right now."

@aznable Jenemba isn't very underrated, everyone loves him. especially since he is associated with Gogeta, a form that apparently people like more than Vegito. But Bojack is definitely a very underrated villain.

@FullbringIchigo I can understand why people would be upset as Dragonball has a ton of fun characters that would be great to see in this game. But Ultra Instinct is such a cool form. And since Goku is the only character shown to have it (Aside from the Angels and apparently Beerus) it would make sense to have that form in the game through Goku.

Hahaha. Love that cheeky Twitter message.

I do wonder if they were allowed to reveal the character though.

@Heavyarms55 He's actually a big fan favorite character. Mostly because he's associated with Gogeta, a form that fans apparently like more than Vegito, to the point that Toriyama made Gogeta canon in the Dragonball Super Broly Movie. Not to mention Jenemba has some of the coolest moves in Dragonball since he can break through the dimensional space with his attacks. The concept of breaking through dimensions had only ever been done with Super Buu shouted through the dimensional barrier to break out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and more recently in the Dragonball Super Movie when Gogeta and Broly clashed fists so hard it sent them into another dimension. So to have a Villain whos moves consist of breaking the dimensional barrier definitely makes him a fun one.

@patbacknitro18 i would like some what if characters to return like Tiencha from Budoaki 2 or Kroly from Fusions

Kefla would be nice too

@FullbringIchigo I'm not a huge Kefla fan, but they do have some interesting moves.

@patbacknitro18 she would be a good fit for the game i think or they could have Caulifla with Kale as a back up character, like 18 has 17

Under-rated but still an okay choice, of course if it's me I would had prefer Master Roshi, Mercenary Tao, Android 20, King Slug, Turles, Evil King Piccolo, Dabura, Mai (from DB Super), Future Gohan, Baby Vegeta, Super 17, Omega Shenron or any one of the Saibaman.

@zip No. For a technical fighter, DBFZ had a GREAT starting lineup with a ton of content and the Season Passes are very reasonable, especially if you caught them on sale or bought the edition that included Season 1.
Street Fighter V, on the other hand, is an example of how NOT to launch a fighting game.

@FullbringIchigo Ryu is considered the main character of Street Fighter, but there shouldn't be 15 versions of Ryu in a Street Fighter game in place of other fan favorite characters.
Dragon Ball is a rich and varied universe with a long history to pull from, including many more great characters who were recently introduced in Dragon Ball Super.
The current amount of Gokus is enough, no more Vegetas either. (who has the same amount of representation, not counting Goku Black, a Goku in name only, and Kid Goku, a very different form)
No Ultra Instinct Goku, no Maijin Vegeta, no Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Vegeta.

I hope Shaggy becomes a DLC character

Master Roshi or Mr Satan as funny joke characters? Please? If you are going to add...whoever this is in, might as well add some more iconic weirdos!

Janemba has the potential to be a unique addition to the roster. Can't wait!

Still hoping for Hercule, Roshi, Kefla, Chichi, Super Baby Vegeta, and Bulma in a mech suit.

Does Roger Healey know about this?

@ddowler85 i get that and i think the main reason for it is because the game doesn't have a proper transformation system

take Budokai 3 or Infinite World that only has 2 Goku's in each (Z Goku in both, Kid Goku in 3 and GT Goku in IW) because it had a transformation system so it didn't need a separate character for all his forms, same with Vegeta, plus it had alternate costumes to represent the different Arcs

i really wish they would re-release that Budokai HD collection on current systems

@PBandSmelly Roshi is no joke.
His Tournament Of Power episodes were heartfelt and great.
Universe 7 would have lost without him.

@ddowler85 You'll get three more Gokus, as well as two more Vegetas and you will like it.

@Baart Larry Hryb is not a "marketing guy", he is a Director of Programming for the Microsoft gaming network Xbox Live, and co-host/presenter of the Inside Xbox events.

And besides that, no one is insulting or ridiculing him here. He himself chose the name Major Nelson, which is also the name of his official, Xbox-related blog.

Maybe next time give it some more thought, before you post something that doesn't really make you look all that smart.

@ReaderRagfish Same here. Watched all the old shows and movies.
I did actually watch the first ten episodes of DB Super as well, though. They're actually pretty entertaining, although it's of course the same formula all over again, except this time, the art is once again a bit better, much like it has continued to look better with each new series.

@ThanosReXXX I'll say that the beginning of Super may be the worst in the series. Instead of watching the first 2 arcs of Super, just watch the first 2 Dragonball Super movies, Battle of Gods and Ressurection of F. Then continue on from the Universe 6 Tournament arc onwards.

@patbacknitro18 I really enjoyed the first two arcs of Dragon Ball Super, but I understand why many didn't, since they were just extended re-tellings of the Battle of the Gods and Resurrection F movies.
In my case, I HAD NOT SEEN those movies prior to watching those arcs, (Super is what pulled me back in to Dragon Ball) and after having watched the movies since then, I STILL prefer the Super re-tellings.
Some things are expanded upon and set up that are called back to later, and I enjoyed the "slice of life" aspects.
I do agree that the "Universe 6 Saga" is when the series really kicks into high gear though, with tons of great new characters and ideas.

@ddowler85 No.

@Baart Everyone in the Xbox community has always referred to him as Major Nelson. That is his alias that he is recognized by. Same deal as ske7ch. Don't comment on things if you aren't educated about them yourself.

You guys seemingly loves to use the word "seemingly" in your articles and headlines. Seemingly not as much as Push Square loves to use it though.

@YozenFroghurt The difference is that Nintendo released a game with an undeniably complete roster and DLC that just screams bang for buck.

Namco Bandai, on the other hand, released a game with no Base Goku and Base Vegeta and then charged money for them! Smash without Mario? Street Fighter without Ryu?

@YagaMaki Well, actually those are less base Goku and Vegeta and more Saiyan Saga Goku and Vegeta. Which both have unique movesets that future Goku and Vegeta never really use anymore. I mean when's the last time Vegeta used Galack Gun? Besides when the game launched, it already had 2 versions of Goku and Vegeta each, their SSJ forms and their SSJGSS forms.

@ddowler85 Yep, and if you haven't gotten much farther in the series then don't worry, those characters come back for a much bigger and better arc. But I'll say that what sets Super apart from Z is that it's more slice of life heavy, which is nice. But that all changed in the recent manga arc, which the anime may continue from when it returns. But the newest arc is definitely the most Dragonball Z feeling arc in Super. With a brutal villain, a ton of horrific kills, and an enemy so OP in his abilities that Majin Buu is seemingly one of the few characters that can counter his abilities.

@patbacknitro18 Thanks for the tip. Gotta say that I'm not really following it anymore, though: the weekend before this one, I kinda stumbled upon a YouTube channel, that streamed the first 9 episodes, and they also have a live countdown channel for each new episode, so I binge-watched the first 9, not knowing that the 10th was some ways off from being released, so now I'm stuck in the middle of the story again.

But I've moved on already, so I've got other things to do. Will archive the tip, though. And when I got the time to get back to it, I'll probably re-watch all of it again, movies included...

@secret333 ah that's it. I'm not educated enough on the favourite nicknames of marketing bullspoopers in the xbox fangroup. Thanks for the advice lol.

@YozenFroghurt The difference is that by Feb 2020 Smash will have 6 DLC fighters, where Dragonball Fighterz will have 50 DLC fighters in the same timeframe.

Fusion Reborn was such a sweet movie, I still remember some really awesome music video's people made with Jenemba.

I don't know why this monster is added.
