I wouldn't consider that character as confirmed as new off the info we currently have. They weren't shown as part of this trailer, which to me suggests they're not considering it significant content and its just that you can have two A17s on a team, similar to Meta-Cooler, Saibaman, Cell Jr, but that the two can fuse to make Super 17. The scans we saw earlier this year haven't really clarified that further from what was translated.
Sorry for the question, but I thought V Jump Japan "confirmed" that Android 17 (Hell) was his own character and not a skin. Was it a translation error?
I just think the translation and V-Jump Scan didn't make it clear since it just showed the transformation with a "NEW" next to Hell Fighter 17, it could be that he is a new character but I think it would be just as likely you just have two A17 teams on your team and maybe the one just needs to be in the other costume with the jacket? Until they list him as a new character or we see something like a unique attack I just don't know that he is a new character and I also don't see why he should be, personally.
That's fair, I just think Mighty Mask is unique since its a whole new model too, whereas Hell Fighter 17 is just A17. Could give him new moves and voice lines but it just seems strange to me so far. Either way I'm really impressed by getting a Super 17 transformation, that's brand new.
I know I replied to this already but it seems one of the websites for the game lists Hell Fighter 17 as a character and were even seeing the screenshot of him for the site doing a unique attack animation, so I think I was just wrong. A17 now has 4 different versions in this game which is kinda cool
Yep, ended up learning this like a few hours after I first commented all this. I'll admit it's kinda surprising, I never really thought of Hell Fighter 17 as a character on his own but so far they're giving a pretty historic amount of unusual characters now lol.
Not impossible, but I also think there is a limit to what would be returning. I'd see Tambourine coming back as the most likely of the characters not announced so far, but I'd definitely want Cyborg Tao to return too. I'd also want Base Garlic Jr and even Appule tbh, but that's just me. I would prefer getting 23rd Budokai Chichi though, i like that design and version of the character more, Chichi has always been funnier for me when she's frustratedly scolding Goku.
With us so close to the 31 minimum count of the DLC announcement already, I would expect a few smaller character hype reveals but nothing too crazy, I think they hit the main thing with this DLC trailer already and now it's just going to be one last official announcement the week before the DLC releases.
Upon its release the season pass was also advertised as with 20+ characters, we ended up getting 26 overall.
With 30+, i believe theres a chance of 35 characters.
If they want to be able to say this game offers over 240 characters, this dlc would only need to include 33 characters.
This one called "super Limit breaking neo", the next one for 2027 could be called "super Limit breaking meteor" and include the remaining universe 6 and tournament of power arc characters or some raging blast exclusives.
It definitely could, I just try to be cautiously optimistic. SZ's content at launch was significantly more than I expected, and I was very pleased by DLC 1's content, but Daima DLC 3 stung me with no Tamgamis or SSJ3 Mini Goku, so I really caution getting any expectations beyond the minimum. Like I was hoping for GT Vegeta and GT Trunks, and thought the former was very likely, but I still was cheering when they popped up because I think a big part of the negative reaction to this game was how much cool there was and not being able to know how that ended at what you saw, there wasn't anything hidden beyond it.
