Dragon Ball FighterZ is one heck of a fighting game. It's so good, in fact, that we're really looking forward to the eight additional characters that are coming to the title as downloadable content. At the time of writing, none of the eight characters have been revealed, so we're going to take this opportunity to quickly rattle off ten fighters from across the Dragon Ball universe that we'd love to see make an appearance.
Bardock
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku
Goku's old man is a rough and ready low-class Saiyan fighter -- and that's what makes him so appealing as a character. Bardock's all business, not quite a bad guy but certainly not a hero, either. Although his fighting style isn't too different to what we've seen of other Saiyans in Dragon Ball FighterZ, Bardock's got a merciless edge to him that could be explored.
Cooler
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge
Frieza's older (and cooler) brother, Cooler is the eldest son of King Cold and a deadly warrior. Much like his little bro, Cooler is able to gain additional power through transformation, and his final form is a sight to behold. Although there are definitely similarities between Cooler and Frieza when it comes to combat, the former opts for a more brutal fighting style -- something that could be a focal point in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Mr. Satan/Hercule
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Z, Cell Saga
The legendary martial artist himself, Mr. Satan -- or Hercule, depending on which you prefer -- is more comic relief than anything, but he's still a great character. Crowned Earth's greatest hero after he takes the credit for defeating Cell, Mr Satan isn't afraid of fighting dirty here and there -- mostly to make up for the fact that he's incredibly weak when compared to Goku and the gang. Still, as something of a joke character, Mr. Satan could provide a lot of laughs in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Zarbon
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Z, Frieza Saga
One of Frieza's most skilled soldiers, Zarbon is an incredibly vain character, putting his pursuit of beauty above all else. He may not play a major role in the story of Dragon Ball, but he's easily one of the series' most interesting secondary cast members. in order to unleash his full power, Zarbon is forced to take a much more monstrous form, and naturally, this is something that he hates doing. As such, Zarbon could make for an intruiging addition to Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Master Roshi
First appeared in: Dragon Ball
Master Roshi may not see much action in Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Ball Super, but in the original Dragon Ball, he's one of Earth's most powerful inhabitants. Master Roshi trains both Goku and Krillin in the ways of the Turtle School of martial arts, teaching them the iconic kamehameha technique. When the going gets really rough, Master Roshi is known to rip off his shirt and balloon in size, gaining some serious muscle in the process. He also has an alter-ego in the form of Jackie Chun, which could lead to some great moments in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
Tapion
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon
A main character from one of the more interesting Dragon Ball Z movies, Tapion is a skilled warrior from a distant planet who ends up befriending Goku and the gang in order to stop an ancient monster known as Hirudegarn. Wielding a sword and an ocarina (remind you of anyone?) Tapion is a bit of an outside shout when it comes to additional Dragon Ball FighterZ characters, but he'd definitely bring something different to the table. He could even drag his little brother Minotia along for the ride.
Broly
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan
We couldn't possibly curate this list without including Broly, could we? A fan favourite character, Broly is a Saiyan who, as a baby, was sentenced to death out of fear of his extreme inherent power. Needless to say, Broly survived and eventually clashed with Goku. Unlike Goku, however, Broly is unable to fully control his power, making him a raging beast of a warrior. In Dragon Ball FighterZ, we can imagine him being an overwhelmingly offensive character.
Dabura
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Z, Buu Saga
The king of the demons, Dabura is a fearsome fighter who has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. His spit turns people to stone, and he can summon a powerful blade known as the Darkness Sword when he wants to get stabby. Although his appearance in Dragon Ball Z is relatively brief before a newly awakened Majin Buu turns him into a cookie and eats him, Dabura is shown to be highly skilled warrior. We're sure he'd shine in Dragon Ball FighterZ thanks to his varied abilities.
Jiren
First appeared in: Dragon Ball Super, Tournament of Power Saga
An immensely powerful warrior, Jiren is devoted to justice as a member of the Pride Troopers. He fights to protect his universe and never kills any villains that he defeats in combat. He's calm and calculated, always reading the moves of his enemies and never leaving himself open. Dragon Ball Super is obviously very popular right now, so we imagine that we'll nab at least one DLC character from the series -- and we'd love to see Jiren get the nod.
Jaco
First appeared in: Jaco the Galactic Patrolman
Last but certainly not least, Jaco started life outside of Dragon Ball, starring in his own manga, also drawn and written by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Said manga is something of a prequel to the original Dragon Ball in which we're introduced to Jaco, a cheeky intergalactic police officer who gets himself into all kinds of trouble. He's not your typical martial arts warrior, instead relying mostly on specialist equipment and his own quick thinking. Needless to say, he'd make for an entertaining addition to Dragon Ball FighterZ's roster.

> No Raditz
I can't believe I've entered the Bad Opinion Zone
@Cassetticons I had Raditz on my initial list, but I think the game's already bloated on Saiyans. Bardock and Broly would add more to the overall game, I reckon.
@ShogunRok Yeah, I can get that. I'd love a Bardock, Goky, and Raditz team though. Personally, I'd love Vegito myself, but I don't see him happening over Broly and the like.
Honestly with all the supposed leaks going about it seems like we could have a few cool characters on the way. Hope we get a Revelator edition beyond the first year to keep up the support.
@Cassetticons I think Vegito's actually a pretty likely shout. I can definitely see them going for the more popular, more powerful characters over the more niche picks, but I kinda hope it doesn't come to that — I'd rather have a balanced selection.
I remember watching Wrath of the Dragon when it first aired on Toonami in the U.S. and thought Tapion was super cool. I'd like to see him as a DLC character, as he could have a very interesting gameplay style.
Only one i liked was Roshi. Please god no Jiren, he is a snooze fest!
Garlic Jr & His Spice Boys...👀
I thought Jiren together with Android 17 was already confirmed...
E: Probably I'm confusing it with Xenoverse 2 Dlc or something.
I would rather have Arale from Dr. Slump than any of these picks to be honest.
Demon King Dabura needs his time to shine ! Besides we could do with another Sword weilder.
Broly, Bardock & Master Roshi (Max Power, Hermit & Jackie Chun)from the list.
Characters I would like to see:
-Kid Goku with nimbus cloud & power pole
-Grandpa Gohan
-Bandages the Mummy (could be a fun character)
-Pikkon
-Vegito
-Gogeta
Seems they stayed away from the movies but I would still love to see Broly.
From the series would love master Roshi, Jiren, Kaulifla and Kale.
If they add any 4 of this list, I'd be much more interested in the season pass.
If they added original Dragon Ball characters and a story arc with the tenkaichi tournament, I'd pick it up ASAP
I'd like to see at least one more fusion character (Vegito, Gogeta, Kefla) and Pikkon for sure. Broly is a given, as is cooler.
Raditz or Bardock would be for me. Broly is far too overrated
Caulifla, a female saiyan from Dragon Ball Super, would be a good addition. It's a bit of a sausagefest at the moment and, for obvious and justified reasons, very heavy on classic characters rather than the newer ones.
It's very open, though, since they're not trying to "realistically" represent each character's power, they can have almost anyone. If they have Yamcha, who would be disintegrated by most of the rest of the roster sneezing, they could have Lunch or Videl. Future Mai would be cool too, fighting with a shotgun and other gadgets.
I would love 17 as a standalone character especially how much of a badass he is in this current super arc
Chiaoutzu would have been my top pick but he's been relegated to support character so after that i'd go with Garlic Jr, you could even have the ability to swap between his two forms on the fly for something a bit different.
Seeing as how the story is Android-focused, it makes sense to have Doctor Gero playable with Android 19 as his support, would be very surprised if this doesn't happen.
No love for Zarbon, such a cliche character, wasted vote even on here.
Roshi or I don't buy
Cooler, Jiren, and Turles would be awesome
Jaco all the way. He would be a very technical fighter that relies on gadgets and speed to strategically set up combos. I love scrappy, unorthodox fighters and he would add some nice variety too
Not really bothered by Broly much, and still surprises me why he is so popular. I'd quite like to see more 'family' teams if that makes sense. So adding in 17 would make sense for the android trio. The addition of Cooler and King Cold. I'd quite like to see Jiren, Toppo and Dyspo as well, they have proven themselves to be quite unique.
@JamieF1 I completely forgot about toppo he would be perfect especially with his new form
Garlic Jr(transformed), Launch, Videl, Janemba, Pikkon, Roshi, Radditz, Bojack
Mr Satan would be a perfect joke character, with plenty of gimmicks and stupid moves to make an opposant absolutely mad.
Nice to see some love for Tapion!
Caulifla/Kale
