One of the classes is just Duke Nukem.

It feels to me like those characters wouldn´t fit with all the systems of near instant kamehamehas and fireball spam and so on. The whole thing is just very specifically Dragon Ball styled so I feel like those characters would look too out of place.

I´m all for someone making a good Shonen Jump crossover fighting game though, or even just another Jump Ultimate Stars.

Treasure also made two preeeetty cool Bleach fighting games way back when to, but I don´t think that they make video games anymore.

Neat, I had forgotten when this was coming. I got both Ryu and the Palico gear (not the weapon though) and have been looking forward to seeing this, as both of those other skins look real good. Also really looking forward to Sakura, might even try playing a bunch with it.

As someone who is mostly (miraculously) up to date with the Kingdom Hearts story, this was a fun, interesting read. I guess I have fallen off a bit because I haven´t played or watched either Chi or "a Fragmentary Passage". My one criticism would be maybe don´t switch between the human and Nobody names of Marluxia and co. in that one part without clarifying. Otherwise I think the piece avoids the easy-to-fall-into trap of getting sidetracked by going into confusing specifics better than many would, including me.

Really though, they´re going to make sure that even Riku Replica is saved from his sad ending? Their commitment to explaining and resolving every BS plotpoint they´ve come up with over the years is truly the best thing about Kingdom Hearts. Even Kojima would be hard pressed to match this kind of "storytelling".

Barely. I´ve known that Part 2 has been in the works for some time, and I recently heard that it was slated for February, with some trailers coming out.

I liked the first one quite a bit and what I´ve seen of part 2 seems neat, so I´ll probably check it out.

Hell yeah Monster Carrot!

My serious answer is probably a bit boring for some. As much as I like Mr. Satan I don't really want him as a playable joke character when there's so many other's I'd pick over him. Though it'd be a shame if he wasn't in the game at all, I suppose. I feel the same way about other characters that don't traditionally fight (Bulma) and those that didn't fight in Z (Roshi).

I've gone over the main arcs of Z in my head and I feel like most of the interesting choices are already represented. Some fairly prominent characters I can think of from the first two arcs that I still don't think rate for inclusion is Raditz as well as Zarbon & Dodoria. I just don't think any of them are interesting enough when you're not trying to retell the story of the series in the game.

Now Dr. Gero from the Cell Saga, preferably accompanied by Android 19, I do think would be a cool pick. His design stands out a lot, and his ability to absorb energy blasts or life from other characters could make for a unique gameplay gimmick.

Moving on to the Buu Saga, Gotenks is already an infinitely more interesting character than Kid Trunks and Goten on their own, so putting them in feels excessive. Some people like Dabura, but he's always seemed like a chump to me. Should they decide to put him in I'd understand, though. I suspect that the developers agree with me that 2 Buus is enough, as Kid Buu has some of Super Buu's moves, so I wouldn't bring him up. Him and Kid Buu is more of the same person than Kid Buu and Fat Buu anyhow.

That leaves only Vegito, whom I think absolutely rates and should be put into the game as soon as possible. He's got a cool outfit with pretty earings and a hand beamsword. They could even make him go Blue if they wanted to associate him more with Super.

I don't really care about many of the Movie characters including the other non-canon fusion Gogeta. Cooler kind of lost a lot of his luster for me too once Freiza was back. I have a soft spot for Sayian-armor-bandana-Goku, AKA Bardock, though. I'd like them to put him in if they could. I also understand that a lot of people are super into Broly, and while I always thought he was born from the dumbest trend in Dragon Ball character design (just stack on as much muscle and spiky yellow hair as you can) I feel like he's become "iconic" enough that his huge, dumb self should be on the shortlist of characters to add when choosing from the greater series lore.

I mean, I'd personally rather see the slimmed down, yet pumped up Kale from Super represent with legendary super sayian power, but seeing as Broly was the original that would still feel somewhat wrong to pick her over him.

Speaking of Super, any and all Universe 6 saiyans they are willing to put into the game I'm on board with. Cabba? Yeah put that skinny mf in it! Have him use Galick Gun and his weird foot beams! Caulifla? Hell yeah! Though aside from being a cool-ass sis and having a single named move, Crush Cannon, she sadly doesn't have much going for her at the moment in terms of a unique identity. Kale I've already mentioned. I'm a big fan of her "in control" form, it makes me wish Broly had one too. Kefla eats Cauliflas lunch a bit i feel. She's got her cocky attitude along with the thing Caulifla herself lacks...a bunch of sweet, original moves. I'd hate for her to steal the spotlight completely from the Saiyans she's made up of, but she seems like a strong candidate for being included in the DLC if they wanted to have more Super characters.

Lastly, I do like Jiren. I was on board with his design of being a mega-buff alien gray in a super hero spandex suit from the start. His reticence when it comes to both identity in fighting style and personality until fairly recently has made it kind of hard to stay a fan however. I hope we do end up seeing him emote more. Right now he's still just a super serious monk dude who has shown shades of being incensed at Hit's Assassin's Pride and Vegetas arrogant fighting. Regardless, I believe there's enough material to spin off of at this point for them to make a decent fighting game character. Between his flurry of punches, weird eye power and that thing he does where he holds a ball of energy right up to someone before blasting them away.

tl,dr: Dr. Gero, Vegito, Bardock, Broly, all U6 Saiyans and Jiren.

I miss the Patrick streams so I'm down for that. Because of where he lives he's never on any of the Waypoint group streams so I basically only get him when I catch the podcast or when they do Battlegrounds. He played one of my Mario Maker levels as one of the last streams he did of that game, I still go back and watch that one occasionally because it was also a pretty good episode.

I hope he can find something as good for daily streams as those other ones...unless a new, cool Mario Maker games comes out soon, then I just hope he does more of that.

I don't mind the little guys, but I also don't find their looks cute.

Bayonetta is my favorite (adopted) wholesome Nintendo franchise.

Actually, I never did get around to playing those WiiU versions of Bayonetta & Bayonetta 2 I have laying around. With another one coming out I guess I have even more of an incentive to change that. I should make it my new years resolution or something.

My first impression was that it did not look good, but with some distance I don't actually have anything against the style and if they were going to make another numbered entry in the Classic series it seems like a good choice for a modern aesthetic. It's mostly the jumping animation that puts me off. It just doesn't have a good transition to it. Also, while I like Mega Man's "leaner" design in the concept art it's going to take some time for me to get used to how he looks in-game.

As for the game part of the game it seems alright, I'll probably play it. I feel like I've experienced the entire range of what a Mega Man game can be in the terms of quality with all the games that already exist in the series, so unless they've got some weird new gimmick hidden somewhere in there, the only question that remains for me is: Is this going to be better and more memorable than your average, "Ok" to "Decent" to "Good" Mega Man game?

It would be cool if it was.
