Here's a description and a few teaser screenshots:

Heck yes. This is one of my favorite arcs from the original DB. I love me a good old tournament arc.
Never experienced this arc myself, so I guess this will be a good way to experience it!
Hot take here. I enjoyed Dragonall more before the Frieza Saga.
@Vexx234
Hot take, I enjoyed DBZ mostly during the Buu saga
@Classic603 you monster, how can you live with yourself
@Classic603 You sir are insane! Joking.
Chi Chi playable?
Omg they even have their og looks! This is so cool!
A cool arc but where's the cyborg version of Mercenary Tao and Kami? If I remember correctly Tao was an opponent at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai (World Martial Arts Tournament) as well and fought Tien Shienhan while Kami fought Goku under a disguise, also Launch was at the tournament, she was the one that kick Kami in the ass I believe.
@Classic603 I will defend the Buu Sagas as well, DBZ whilst it will always be dear to me, has always been poorly written and retconned itself all the time, the Buu Saga was Toriyama finally going wild with the series that had already escalated beyond reason. Just have fun with it. Having said that the original series before Z was far better.
This was a REALLY good arc of OG DragonBall, before everyone basically became superhumans. Can't wait to see how they pull this one off
@Bizzyb Well they were always superhuman. Prior to this, Goku as a little boy singlehandedly destroyed a massive army. Also, was it this tournament or the previous one where Master Roshi blows up the moon?
I would've loved it if they put more characters/versions of OG Dragon Ball in FigtersZ. Awesome for people that have this game.
They were superhuman but nowhere near the scale they are now. Just about everyone can wave a pinky and wipe out half the galaxy at this point.
It's just now just the random transformation show. You can even see in the latest movie. Gohan in no way earned his new form and it's given to him. Not only that the design and name are bad. Beast Gohan. Really?
Now Frieza unlocked a new color in his ever changing palette. At this point the only hair style left for Goku to obtain is baldness. It would be the ultimate irony if we found out int he end Goku's more powerful transformation is base form.
If they give us more classic Dragon Ball content, i will definitely consider finally picking up this game. I have always liked Dragon Ball more than Dragon Ball Z.
Great to see more love for the original Dragon Ball/the first part of the manga!
@GooseLoose1 I mean technically Ultra Instinct IS base form Goku, but utilizing 100% of his fighting potential, so to speak. So yes, in fact, Goku's most potent form is base since the Tournament of Power.
