So I saw somebody pointing out something potentially interesting regarding Gunthra. The possible reason why she might not be a Free unit might come from the possibility that the Gunthra related to the Fjorm we know might have been killed by Surtr and that the Gunthra we summon is either her moments before her death or a possible alternate one who survived.
Something like with Yen'fay.
While it would be interesting if that is the case, it's merely speculation considering she did talk to us(in her own words, through a special rite) in Rite of Blades and that she does have Story Expressions like the other Story characters. I'll see what happens. And regardless, it doesn't justify anything.

Does anyone know if the amiibo cards for Mario Sports Superstars function as normal Mario amiibo too?

I'm considering of wanting the Peach amiibo content in Mario + Rabbids but at the same time I don't want a figurine of her.

This is an interesting idea. Perhaps the expressions are place holder and may or may not be used.

Question. What do you guys hope to see somehow in DBFZ? I'd like an English version of Dragon Soul and these characters
Arale, Videl/Great Saiyawoman, Kefla/Kale, Cooler 5th Form, Bardock, Roshi, Kid Goku, Janemba/Super Janemba and Mercenary Tao

Obviously I don't expect any of these to happen but eh

Now that I'm thinking of it, I wonder what other gameplay modes DBFZ will have. It seems to have a robust story, arcade and trials. I would hope that survival is also in that. I think the game also has a tournament mode, but I don't know if it's online only. Since some other DBZ games had it, I can see it going either way. Though I'm not too worried about the games content. Since the arcade and story are at least robust if nothing else.

As far as characters, Videl, Roshi, Kid Goku, and Bardock would be cool. Because at this point, all of the other core Z-Fighters are already in. Twice in fact of for Goku, Vegeta and Gohan. I wouldn't be surprised if Broly, Cooler, Kefla or Jiren(as much as he hasn't shown too much, I feel people would be hype to see him) were in too. The latter two likely more than a few months in. Though for a personal choice, Janemba would be in place of Jiren. Since the others should have a couple of gimmicks and moves of their own.

Vegito would sick, though either him or Gogeta should be in the game's equivalent of Super Turbo/XL/Dark Resurrection/Revalator ect. They'd be great poster boys for it.

Granted with Jiren, his whole thing is no-selling standing there...MENACINGLY!!! So I have no idea how he'd be exciting to play.

Or, they just say **** it and add UI Goku and SS4 Goku. The game's DLC fighters is an interesting topic to think about.

I'm kinda conflicted on Gogeta because I'm the weirdo who prefers Super Gogeta over SSJ4. His SSJ4 design has never jived with me and I much prefer Stardust Breaker as a finishing move over 100X Big Bang Kamehameha. In fact, SSJ4 Gogeta has to be my least favorite design out of the 4s outside of SSJ4 Gohan, I hate the brown fur and the orange/red hair is just too much. Outside of that his role in GT was just lame, I much preferred the ultra serious characterization from Fusion Reborn over just Vegito again.

So for that alone I would definitely take both SSJ4 Goku and Vegeta over SSJ4 Gogeta, but I know that I fall under the minority plus I don't think people react well to MORE Gokus and Vegetas in the roster, no matter how different they may look or play.

Outside of them, I would also love Super Janemba, Bardock and Merged Zamasu. Jiren is too much of a blank slate atm for me to want him playable, same for UI Goku. Vegito Blue would be pretty cool as would be Videl or Chi Chi.

A DB-era Kid Goku and even Roshi would be nice too, but the question is if Kid Goku would have Oozaru in some sort of manner.

Don't forget new versions of Rin, Sakura and Shirou. Also it's Arthuria.
You guys complaining Camilia gets to many events when Niles has had none so far
How about the fact that there's only mostly been Awakening/Fates Seasonals and the fact that we only have 2 Seasonal characters who aren't from Awakening or Fates? And they are Lyn, who is the most popular Female character, and Caeda, who isn't too popular, but has significance because she's the First FE Protagonist's wife and even got a Seasonal before her husband, who is often considered one of the main faces of the series.

Rin has only three (with Ishtar and Ereshkigal being quite different characters), Shirou only 2 (Muramasa is only NPC) and Sakura none being only herself as Parvati (BB, Melt and Lip are based on her and thus have her face but are completely separate entities).

Arthuria/Artoria/Arturia/whatever that isn't Altria has around 9 variations in game, 10 when counting Arthur.

If anyone else should have been pointed out would be Cu with 4 variations or Elizabeth with the same number (6 if you count her mecha clones but they are separate entities and characters as much as Metal Sonic so I don't).

I think Cupid has been taken by Bride Cordelia(her weapon is "Cupid's Arrow"). Also, it should be either Lon'qu or Gregor who gets to be Cupid. Gregor for his spendid love skills and his advice for Cordelia and Lon'qu for all dramatic irony and just to listen to him pouting.

But yeah, it would be pretty nice to see some non-Awakening/Fates Seasonals. I mean, Marth, Ike, Roy and Hector need to at least get one Seasonal(Groom Banner to go with Bride Banner). We also need to get a Demon Fighter Banner to go with Bride Banner and Dancer Banner, with one character wielding a Sword, one wielding an Axe, one wielding a Tome and one wielding a Dagger.

I mean, I'm not through Conquest yet but I'm enjoying pretty much everyone except Peri being egh. No one else is really jumping out at me for being bad. Even Camilla is entertaining sometimes.

That said, I also like a lot of Hoshido, but there is a big difference.

I dislike Ryoma a lot.

Xander isn't perfect but one thing Ryoma does ticks me off because it erases Corrin's main conflict of the game for what comes off as a personal power struggle.

I've sent you all friend requests on the Nintendo Switch. If you're wondering who is the user with the Revali Switch avatar with a Switch username in Japanese characters with stars on the front and ends of the name, that's me.

I'll be working on adding others in this thread to my Switch friend list as well, so to help making the digging easier, anyone else who'd like to add me to their Switch friend lists can just quote this post and point me to the necessary friend codes.
Anyone want to be friends with me? I sent a friend request to @Erureido . Want to be friends @Flight ? I am friends with only almost everyone in this thread posting. I have nine friends. I feel like I need more though. Friends will be best friends.

Which part of him are we talking about? Some of the things he does in Conquest? When in Birthright, he was willing to offer food and supplies for the Nohrians after he learned of it's issues? Or just in the general sense on how Birthright is more against an evil tyrant compared to Conquest's beginning in which Corrin tries to convince the Nohrians that violence doesn't need to be the solution and he's more in a battle of inner conflict rather than outer conflict?

Regardless, I will admit that Hoshido should have had at least one evil/traitorous character. Not like that ninja character who wants to make his own kingdom bigger than either Hoshido or Nohr, but rather you have Yukimura as the one adviser and then you have a 2nd adviser who is scheming and whatnot.
Like in some of the Hoshidan supports, there are mentions of higher-ups scheming against Ryoma. So it's rather disheartening that there isn't a single major Hoshidan character who is trying to hurt your Hoshidan siblings, take advantage of what happened to Ryoma and Takumi or even to Mikoto early in Birthright or in general. It's mostly just Iago trying to mess with the group.

So from the looks of it, the Open Beta for FighterZ will have 11 playable characters. For a while we just assumed it was gonna be the same 11 as before, only with an updated build.

But now it's come out that Beerus will be one of those playable characters.

A DB-era Kid Goku and even Roshi would be nice too, but the question is if Kid Goku would have Oozaru in some sort of manner.
Yeah, I perfer SS1 Gogeta over SS4, particularly because of him having a unique finisher. But I think Vegito is better than both in terms of design and even moveset potential. It's just that a lot of people also like Gotega. I did kind of like SS4 Gohan's design in some of those games though, but SS4 is pretty hit and miss for me as whole(as is blue, since only Goku looks okay in it). Merged Zamasu could pull off extra tricks, but might be redundant to some extent with Goku Black already teaming up with Zamasu in his move set. But the Gargos style Portal punches certainly makes for a good argument. Though Janemba could potentially do something similar.

Obviously, the Kid Goku I'm talking about would have to be DB-era, GT Goku would be kind of redundant, what with the lack of the Power Pole and all. Oozaru would neat, but I wonder if they'll bother to model that. That said, Roshi could technically be from Super as well, it wouldn't matter too much in terms of special moves since many of his iconic tools were used in both. But hey, his normals would likely be manga panels rather then the stuff we've seen in Super. If he isn't already buff, then beefing up would be a good install super.

1. Great Saiyaman
2. Caulflaua, Kale, or Kefla
3. Videl
4. Pan
5. Zarbon
6. Raditz
7. Cooler

Im sure i;m forgetting someone (still) and im sure i've posted this before, but i''ll take an opportunity to talk about DBZ without being the one who shilled it first.
I'd also be happy with Great Saiyaman, since in the games he's already been in, he plays differently from other Gohans. Having his SRK/Power Dunk and Cannon Drill(Justice Punch/Kick basically)from the Budokai series should be fine. And a lot of other games give him a divekick too. He's got a finger beam too. Not sure if there's a 3rd Vegeta that works as well as Kid Goku and Saiyaman does for Goku and Gohan.

Kefla is like Gotenks to me. Why bother with two lesser fighters when you can take their fusion that actually has a unique attack or two? Seems like the best choice. Videl and Cooler would also be sick, Pan could be okay I guess. Raditz would be an interesting choice, if only because he really just had one fight. Zarbon could have a transformation/install gimmick too.

So from the looks of it, the Open Beta for FighterZ will have 11 playable characters. For a while we just assumed it was gonna be the same 11 as before, only with an updated build.

But now it's come out that Beerus will be one of those playable characters.
Maybe it's the rest of the roster then? Guess if I get the chance to run it, Adult Gohan and Hit'll be on my team. If that's the case anyhow.

The CD comes inside the artbook for some reason, weird but interesting design choice.
And the artbook is better than the EO2U one, still not as good as the full thing in Japan but still an improvement, since it doesn't look like a mess they threw together in 3 minutes

When the main conflict of the game is blood vs bond, Ryoma knowing they aren't really siblings while still using that as a bargaining point angers me.

I also don't appreciate how he lies to his siblings about it and only reveals it when it suits him, i.e. When he wants to marry Corrin.

IIRC the only reason he kept it a secret was because Sumeragi and Mikoto wanted it to be kept that way, for whatever reason, and he didn't want to disrespect their wishes.

Oh that. Yeah......I guess I didn't exactly see it as a big deal on Ryoma's part and more a fault of the developers. Like.....when you actually have this conversation in the game before you S-Support Hinoka...
Avatar: Hello there, Hinoka. Tending to your pegasus again?

Hinoka: Indeed. He's always been my partner on the battlefield, after all. It's important that I show him my appreciation whenever I can.

Avatar: You were still quite young when you decided to become a sky knight, right? It's obviously a dangerous job... Did anyone try to talk you out of it?

Hinoka: Oh, definitely. Many people did. Your mother more than most.

Avatar: What? Even my mother? She was worried for your safety, even though you weren't related?

Hinoka: Indeed. It even surprised me how strongly opposed to the idea she was. She tried all manner of things to convince me to change my mind. Begging, bribing...

Avatar: How did you respond?

Hinoka: Well, I was still a very young girl... Ryoma and the others accepted her as Father's wife and our new mother, but I... I didn't do that very easily. As a result, I was cruel to her—more cruel than she could ever deserve.

Avatar: Oh, no! What happened? What did you do?

Hinoka: I told her that she wasn't my mother and had no place ordering me around. Of course, I apologized later, but it's impossible to take back what was said. I still remember how her face changed right as the words left my mouth. I'll probably regret having said that for the rest of my life...


Avatar: That was years ago, though! I'm sure she forgave you long ago. You were young and didn't know any better. I think you can forgive yourself...

Hinoka: No, it's better that I continue to carry this burden with me as a reminder, I think.

Avatar: Hinoka...
Yeah, there is actually a non S-Support that brings up the fact that the siblings aren't related to Mikoto and making it sound obvious that Corrin isn't related as well. This support would've been much nicer had Hinoka's S-support not try to bring up the sibling thing as some big revelation. Like......you have a B-support that brings up the fact that the siblings aren't related to Mikoto, and by extension Corrin, as if it were common knowledge, yet the S-support proceeds to bring it back up as some big revelation. This really screams as a big mistake of the developers rather than the characters.

That being said, it still is a big deal. It definitely would've been much better had they either:
A - Get the point across early on that the siblings aren't your siblings, but they are still the family that was there for your mother and that choosing Hoshido isn't just fighting for the siblings, but for the mother who died protecting you.
Or B - Kept you from supporting the siblings until it's revealed that they aren't your true siblings. Heck, this could've been used as a conflicting emotion used by either one of the Nohrian characters or a evil Hoshidan character to try to spark a distrust in Corrin towards the Hoshidan siblings, which Corrin eventually comes to his conclusion that he's not just fighting for his siblings and for the fact that his mother died to protect him, but he's fighting against Garon to save his Nohrian siblings because they fear going against him and he fights cause no one else will.

Either way, I guess I never saw it as a big deal on Ryoma's part compared to how much I saw it as a big deal on the developers' part.

Question. What do you guys hope to see somehow in DBFZ? I'd like an English version of Dragon Soul and these characters
Arale, Videl/Great Saiyawoman, Kefla/Kale, Cooler 5th Form, Bardock, Roshi, Kid Goku, Janemba/Super Janemba and Mercenary Tao

Obviously I don't expect any of these to happen but eh
Master Roshi, Kale, Caulifla, Videl, Janemba, being able to pla as Android 17 with 18 as his back up, Bardock, Cooler and Jiren.

That's awesome!

But, um... You do know what this means, right?

You are no longer a cinnamon roll.

You are now...

A sweet roll. :4villager:

*casually steals*
I am part of the Internet police; you are arrested for stealing something so precious.
For some reason, I see you as a man in the woods with a gun hunting friends, then when you tranq them, you put your friend code on a piece of paper for when they wake up signed with a ":)"
Do I use smile faces too much? If so I will stop.
Takes yellow marker, your next.
Anyone here into the Trails and Ys series?

Wanted some reccs after hearing good things about Ys VIII and Trails of the Cold Steel.
What is that series even? :018:

I wonder if we'll see a new X-Men cartoon soon. I know Deadpool is getting one, or is supposed to be. But it's been a minute since we've seen a mainline X-Men series.

Spider-Man just got one, and some of the episodes are good, others, not so much.

Sweet rides man.
