Board 8 > Piccolo and Kuririn announced for for Dragon Ball FighterZ

(+) Yeah! (+)

Krillin and Piccolo are playable characters in Dragon Ball FighterZ, the latest issue of V-Jump reveals.

Here are the details:

Piccolo

Power: 3
Speed: 2
Reach: 4
Technique: 4
Energy: 3

Piccolo has technical skills such as extending his arms to grasp his opponent and charge techniques. He has a variety of methods to break the opponent’s guard. He can fire beams at super high speeds. By long-pressing the button, he can charge up for a stronger attack. He also has a technique that fires a Ki blast to deal great damage. When connecting from a combo, it will deal even greater damage.

Krillin

Power: 2
Speed: 3
Reach: 1
Technique: 4
Energy: 4

Krillin has low power and reach, but can use a variety of techniques. He can even use Kamehameha, meaning fighting from a distance should not be a problem. He can use skills to confuse the enemy such as the “Afterimage Technique,” which leaves behind an image of Krillin before turning into an attack. He can also use “Destructo Disc,” which is impossible to guard against. After firing Ki blasts, Krillin can alter their trajectory and have them explode in the sky to shoot out multiple Ki blasts.

The magazine also reveals that players will be able to control chibi characters in online mode, similar to the online system in the Guilty Gear Xrd series, and that those chibi characters will be able to battle against each other.

Previously announced playable characters include Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Cell, Frieza, Majin Buu, and Trunks.

guess those are the other two characters that will be available for the demo

figured piccolo would be one

Decent lineup so far. Have they announced how many fighters total will be in the game?

Also how does stretchy-arms Piccolo only have a reach of 4?!
---

I just wonder if Piccolo is going to be a full on Dhalsim type of character or not

They have not announced how many characters the full game will have. If we take them at their word and assume the 20% complete referred to character count when they had 6 characters revealed I would assume 30 then!

Yoga special beam cannon!

It is weird cuz at evo they specifically said it was launching with 7 fighters. They must have misspoke.

whoa, "kuririn"? are you japanese or something?
---

sorry sometimes I use the japanese spellings subconsciously. Mainly him and Furiza
---

I'm looking fotward to some non-obvious characters.
It's nice to have confirmation, but did anyone really expect Piccolo to not be in this?
---

Wouldn't have deserved to have "Z" in the title without them.

Yes please.
---

30 seems like the absolute maximum they could do. GGXrd started with 14 and even now only has 25. This graphical style is hard!
---

I know they're just STATS, but Piccolo with lower speed and energy than Krillin still hurts to look at

Imagine if they include Yamcha. They can't just have him be a 1 at everything.
---

Shame that toughness isn't a stat or else yamcha would have a 10/5 for all the stuff he goes through
---

Don't worry. Yamcha will get his own special stats.

Baseball 5/5
Owning a car 5/5
Scarability 5/5
Ability to be asploded 5/5
Inner Wolf 5/5

I think Energy in this case means how much health they have, so it's kind of like toughness
