Hop's on my wish list of female fighters, as are Ribrianes trio and the saiyans(even Gine, despite my dislike of DB minus she's still a charming character in fusions and her using a meat cleaver and passive attacks could be a neat set up.) but Launch and Future mai are at the top because they've got more history.
Since I'm still on a xenoverse 2 kick, Why couldn't they have made the saiyan meatery/bar be the place where the sayain hero starts their journey? They didn't have the namekian hero start with piccolo.... But all the sayain gets is vegeta being chewed out by bulma, and the humans focus on Gohan and videl...

I think you could hack Budoukai 3 to use Bulma as a skin for Videl, with Gohan instead of Vegeta.
My various fanfics.The only times I can think of Bulma being playable are Heroes and Origins.
This song needs more love.Bulma was playable in the Evolution game.
For anyone curious, here's the number of female characters in the Tournament of Power, by Universe.
U2: 4
U3: 0 (though half of their team is robots)
U4: 4
U6: 2
U7: 1
U9: 2
U10: 1
U11: 1
So 15 total female characters, 14 of which were introduced in this arc.

There's an interview in Volume 4 of the manga with Toriyama and Toyotarou. Some bullet points:
- Toriyama got the inspiration for Goku Black from other Evil Counterpart characters like Fake Ultra Man and Fake Kamen Rider.
- Goku and Vegeta fusing wasn't in Toriyama's original draft of the Future Trunks arc. That was Toyotaro's idea, to meet "fan expectations" and create a situation where they had no choice but to fuse since their personalities would prevent them from fusing after the Buu Saga. Toriyama agreed with it and says that it was a good idea.
- As part of the above, Merged Zamasu wasn't that strong in the original draft, aside from his immortality. Two Super Saiyan Blues could handle him.
- Trunks training with Shin and getting healing powers was Toyotaro's idea, as was Vegeta going Super Saiyan God, though Toriyama supervised that second part.
- Many of the "twists and turns" leading up to Goku's final showdown with Zamasu were also Toyotaro's ideas, though they don't elaborate on which ones.
- For the Future Trunks arc, most of the time Toriyama approved Toyotaro's manga rough drafts, but he did offer corrections sometimes. He says that before while Toyotaro was just "chasing after my DB", now he's starting to show his own color. However, Toriyama thinks that Toyotaro's battles scenes are too "careful" and that it'd be better if he drew them with a rougher touch.
Interesting to hear that Toyotarou suggested bringing back Vegetto.
It also explains why he failed to win the fight. I'm guessing the moment Toriyama heard the term fan expectations he immediately brainstormed ways to dash them to pieces.
If it was, it would say so I'd think.
I'd say it's a toss up on that one. We'll have to wait and see what they say about it.
One Strip! One Strip!I'm guessing these reveals mean that the difference between Blue Goku and Beerus actually wasn't intended to be as ridiculously huge as it is nowadays, with Beerus being anywhere from 40-400 times stronger.
In Resurrection 'F', Whis says that Goku and Vegeta working together in Blue might be able to beat Beerus. Toriyama's original draft for the Future Trunks arc had Goku and Vegeta working together in Blue actually be enough to beat Merged Zamasu. If Vegetto and Kaioken weren't thrown in there, I'm guessing Ultra Instinct would only need to be 2-3 times stronger than Blue for it to surpass Beerus and match Jiren.

...
Thinking of it that way, I'm feeling like going with Vegetto was the worse choice.
Then again, you could say that choosing to become Vegetto again (even if it was only because they knew it wouldn't be permanent this time) is the culmination of that. There's no greater form of working together than literally fusing into one being.
Of course, they only did that because they literally had no other options.
One Strip! One Strip!Here's how the power-scaling works with Vegetto and Kaioken:
Blue Goku: 10
KKx20 Blue Goku: 200
Merged Zamasu: 375
Blue Vegetto: 400 (fusion being a 40x multiplier is the absolute minimum I can make it go without compromising the integrity of the Buu Saga)
Beerus: 400
Ultra Instinct Goku: 450
Here's power scaling without Vegetto or Kaioken:
Blue Goku: 10
Merged Zamasu: 16
Beerus: 18
Ultra Instinct Goku: 20
