I haven't seen it linked here, so Broly and Bardock have been confirmed as the first two DLC characters for FighterZ.

Surprising absolutely no-one but mildly disappointing many.

Funny as they are, I haven't seen any of these manga leaks in my usual places either.

[up][up] There both classic/popular characters.

How the fuck are they disappointing?

Jesus, I'm hoping that is fake. Like, I try not to be a conspiracy theorist but if any of that is true, that sounds oddly spiteful to Gohan. [lol]

Because some people don't like Broly and would rather see someone else.

Also some people don't like Bardock though that one escapes me.

Hype Backlash. Specifically, people are starting to get sick of Bardock's recent insane amounts of shilling and Broly's undying Wolverine Publicity.

They have enough of a fandom that they were always going to get in as DLC, so it's honestly just on those fans for assuming otherwise.

I do like that Bardock seems to have super saiyan as a super.

It's less that they assumed and more that they hoped.

I'm now hearing about another set of spoilers, a set which sounds a bit more credible and a lot less inflammatory. Still, grain of salt. The chapter is following the five U7 fighters who broke off from Team Nerd: 17, 18, Freeza, and Vegeta (but no Goku, oddly). 17 fights Murisam, Freeza fights Rubalt, 18 fights Prum and Jimmies, and Vegeta fights Katopesla and Nink. All of these are victories for U7, apparently.

A real-time addition to the new set of spoilers: apparently Goku's fighting the Pride Trooper B-Team, he just wasn't mentioned because he hasn't eliminated any of them yet. Also, he supposedly has pre-tournament interactions with Hit.

I said Black Panther was going to be a sucess.

Other than controversies with the racist and anti-racist crowds, it did well. So even I failed there.

Wait, did it do well or not? I'm confuse.

Manga topic: Wow that's depressing. Really, really depressing. If it's true of course.

Your spoilers are spoiling.

If anything Jiren definitely has the ass of a real superhero.

Toriyama said something along the lines of "SSB was going to be white, but it would clash with an upcoming villain" we now know the villain he was talking about was Zamasu. That was what started the Blanco meme. It didn't originate from the fans.

Nah, he said it would clash with 'the next enemy' which would have been Freeza.

Given when RF was written, and how the Goku Black arc wasn't his idea, he wouldn't have been planning Zamasu at that stage.

Anyway, the artwork for Goku Blanco looks terrible, but the Xenoverse model looks a bit better. I'm hoping in animation it looks better, but I think Omen looked much better than this.

And they say the manga's better

Be fair, it's not like anyone reading the manga is judging it based on things they haven't seen yet.

The spoilers indeed sound terrible. But I'm not all that surprised. Toriyama just didn't seem interested in Gohan, and I doubt Toyotarou is either. At least 17 is being thrown out early.

If this ends up being true, I'll appreciate the effort Toei's team did in using Gohan more... but it'll always be overshadowed by how much they pushed 17 in the same arc, especially if it turns out that it wasn't Toriyama's direction to push 17.

Again, the second batch of spoilers I said on this page are more credible. They're a bit more boring, but you should probably expect those to be correct over the ones mentioned last page.

I could have done without Bardock's Super Saiyan form but I don't mind his inclusion and this is one of the few times I don't mind Broly, since we do need a grappler.

These were obvious picks, and I'm hoping for some more classic or interesting choices for the rest.

[up][up]No, the second set is a completely different set of spoilers. I have reason to believe the second set more than the first. Partly because the first set is kind of insane.

So I guess elimination order and the like wasn't in Toriyama's notes? He basically just gave them a selection of characters and said "go nuts, so long as these select events happen during the tournament, and it ends this way."

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
