In the latest issue of V-Jump, it has been revealed that three new characters will be making it onto Dragon Ball FighterZ. These characters are Gotenks, Kid Buu and the grown-up version of Gohan. There aren’t any trailers for them yet, but there are a few images showing them in action. On top of that, the magazine also talk about two new modes for the game, which consist of a shop and an Arcade Mode. Both of these modes are exactly what you think they are, so explaining them would be a waste of time.
Instead, let’s go through a brief overview of these characters and their stats. The scan was posted by ShonenGamez and the information within it has been translated by Gematsu:
Gotenks
- Power: 3
- Speed: 4
- Reach: 1
- Technique: 3
- Energy: 4
Unleash special moves with extremely flashy names one after the next! Continuous attacks that put adults to shame, with powerful special moves that don’t fail to live up to their name. Use the “Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack” to summon ghosts that deal damage upon impact. Use the Meteor special attack “Charging Ultra Buu Buu Volleyball” to imprison your opponent within multiple rings in the shape of a ball. From there, one of your team members will jump in and start playing volleyball. Finish it off with a spike! The scenes for some of Gotenks’ special moves will change depending on the combination of team members.
Kid Buu
- Power: 4
- Speed: 4
- Reach: 3
- Technique: 4
- Energy: 4
Kid Buu has tricky attacks that make use of his elastic body. Since he has both power and speed, he can be a troublesome foe. He has unpredictable movements, such as stretching into the shape of a ball. His Meteor special attack is “Planet Burst”—that attack that destroys the earth. The opponent stands no chance once it hits.
Adult Gohan
- Power: 3
- Speed: 4
- Reach: 3
- Technique: 4
- Energy: 2
Borrowing the power of Old Kai, Gohan unlocked his potential. With special attacks, his abilities have significantly improved. Use all of the Ki Gauge to unlock your potential! Depending on the amount of the Ki Gauge consumed, the magnification of Gohan’s abilities increase will change. Gohan’s Meteor special attack is “Ultimate Kamehameha.” Neither its power or number of hits can be compared to the regular Kamehameha.
It’s been a while since the last time I covered any news on Dragon Ball FighterZ, and since then a few more characters have been announced such as Ginyu, Tien and Yamcha, which I’ll probably make a video about later on. In addition, the release date has also been revealed to be January 26 for North America on PS4, Xbox One and PC, with Japan getting a February 1st release.
