My Top 11 Characters for a Dragon Ball FighterZ Sequel

So I got Dragon Ball FighterZ for my birthday, and I loved it. I want a sequel, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels that way. These are 11 characters I want in a possible sequel to the game, presented in no particular order.


11. King Piccolo (Piccolo Daimao)

So as much as I love FighterZ, I couldn't help but notice that around 80% of its roster came strictly from the Z portion of Dragon Ball. And yes, I know Z is the most popular and most beloved part of the franchise, but can we have some love for the original series? King Piccolo is, unquestionably, the most memorable villain from the original Dragon Ball anime, and I feel he deserves a shot at appearing in a future FighterZ.

10. Mercenary Tao (Tao Pai Pai)

The very first villain to give Goku a sound defeat, I feel that he deserves a shot at being in a REAL fighting game.

9. Tagoma

Of all the characters that have ever been done dirty in Dragon Ball's history, I think none are as tragic as the waste of Tagoma's potential. A guy whose power level was on par with the Ginyu Force, who was  strong enough to give the non-Saiyan Z Fighters (and a weakened Gohan) hell, the guy lasted 4 minutes before getting switched with Ginyu. I feel he deserves a shot at showing off his chops in a fighting game.

8. Omega Shenron (Ii Shenron)

Yes, this character is a GT character. Yes, GT is (THANKFULLY) no longer canon. BUT HE LOOKS SO COOL, DAMMIT!

7. Obuni

This guy fought pretty damn well against Gohan in the Tournament of Power. He's cool.

6. Kefla

Dragon Ball is notorious for how few female characters are present in the franchise, and how most of them are reduced to being simply housewives. It's remarkable to think that the Tournament of Power introduced more female characters than the previous 30 years of the franchise combined. Of all these ladies, none are as impressive as Kefla. Ribrianne may not have gotten to fight Goku, but Kefla forced him into going Ultra Instinct. Put her in a fighting game!

5. Ribrianne (Riburiani) with Kakunsa and Rozie

I felt that the addition of certain characters who functioned only as assistants to other characters (EG: Chiaotzu with Tenshinhan) was interesting. I think this can be done with Ribrianne, whom I honestly felt was underused in Super.

4. Raditz

The guy who pretty much jump starts Z, and he barely gets a mention if ANYTHING? COME ON! You put Nappa in there, why not THIS dork?

3. Liquiir

Admission of bias: of all the Gods of Destruction, this guy's design is my favorite. Sure wish we could have seen more of him in Super.

2. Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta

Yes, I know it's GT. Yes, I know it ain't canon. But GT did TWO things right: Omega Shenron and Super Saiyan 4. And I think Super Saiyan 4 deserves to be in a fighting game, as an unlockable character. And who better to rep Super Saiyan 4 than the fusion of Goku and Vegeta? I mean, we already got Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegitto!

1. Jiren

Honestly? Enough said.
