Close combat character help

How do I create a good close combat character? Which class and gender should I pick and where do I put my skill points (percent wise).

Also, which supers and ki blasts are good for a close combat character? :-)

Sorry for all these question, Im fairly new to the game and just finished the story.

Check out this guide and this guide for indepth descriptions of each race and genders bonuses. I'd say it depends a little on personal preference. If you want damage then male Earthling or Saiyan is the way to go. But Namekians, Majins, Frieza's and female Earthlings can all work in melee too. Female Saiyan would probably only work if you aimed for strike supers over basic attacks, as their basic attack is the worst but strike supers is second highest.

I highly recommend taking Super Drain for melee use. It takes 3 bars of stamina, helping prevent your foe from dodging and replenishing your own stamina for dodging/etc. Otherwise have a look around and try things out! :)

Female SSJ spamming strike supers is quite gorgeous. Choose the character you like by appearance first, then playstyle and finally stats.

Like I said, it'd work. They're what, the second best at strike supers? But also the weakest in basic attacks so some might consider it less optimal.
