You can play Appule but not Pui Pui? That's bullshit.
But apart from that admittedly massive exclusion, the roster is just sick and I really doubt you could play King Cold in any other game ever.
I wonder where they even thought up all the specials and stuff for a lot of those characters.
Some of them you can tell they were REALLY reaching, even for important characters. Like one of 18's specials being how 17 comes and helps her.
"What if they're fighting 17, though?"
"Shut up!"
And King Piccolo giving birth to Drum again and again and again and again.
You could also play as that one random Frieza soldier that Krillin one-shotted. Or at least he looks a lot like him, I noticed it while watching Dragon Ball Abridged. He's the guy that says "Damn man you couldn't hit the broad side of a space barn".
I also don't know why Cooler has the death beam, or why Yajirobe has sword beams (could he do that?). But the special that really baffles me is the ultimate attack of the generically named "Frieza Soldier". Just look it up.
I was being sarcastic about Pui Pui... apparently he really does have fans...

...Pui Pui, and to a lesser extent Yakon, are sort of Memetic Badasses.
People go "oh sure they got stomped by Vegeta and Goku...but that's only because they're Vegeta and Goku. They could beat [insert long list of characters]!"
He also had a somewhat boisterous attitude the way I remember it so taht probably made people like him too.

A quick Google search (surfed some versus threads on various sites) has told me that many believe that Pui Pui is literally a god-crushing terror who could totally stomp anyone from before the Cell Games. Don't know what gave them that impression... though I admit he probably is more deserving of a spot than Cui, simply because according to Youtube he took longer to die.

...He saw and sensed Gohan go SS 2 at the tournament earlier and wasn't freaking out... so Pui Pui is stronger than Gohan now? Wow, I was wrong, Pui Pui is a hardcore badass. They probably didn't put him in the game because he'd be too OP.
Actually, did some more googling (that's not a word? Bullshit!), and shouldn't Kibito be stronger than Pui Pui too? The wiki cites a guide that says he's equal to Gohan's base.

...King Kai: "Goku, watch out! Frieza's the strongest in the universe! Except for his brother. And maybe his dad? I don't think they ever really stated who was stronger there. Oh, and there's definitely not some guy even stronger than Frieza locked away in my planet that I should warn you about at any time on the off-chance that my planet gets destroyed. But don't worry, I'm absolutely sure that that one doctor guy from the Red Ribbon army won't build anything several times stronger than Frieza. Ever. So rest easy."
The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]

I was just playing that the other day. 3, specifically. Are some of the guys in this game even playable in ANY other game, like Wheelo, Nail, King Cold, and Babidi?
Unfortunately this game doesn't let you play as my favorite character, Pui Pui. And I'm pretty sure someone wanted to play as random movie henchmen fodder like Doore and Kogu...
