So, just did a little roster math here: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had a total roster of 162, including transformations. Sparking Zero appears to have a base roster of 164, assuming the chart in the new trailer is accurate and there are no hidden character slots. Only two more slots than the previous game. Between the two trailers, we have already confirmed 12-14 new characters (12 if Super-era 17 and Future Trunks are merged with their Z counterparts, 14 if they're separate characters). So, safe to assume we're going to see some roster cuts to accommodate all the new Super characters. If I had to take a guess, the cuts are going to be the more minor characters with bare-bones movesets (Nail, King Cold, Supreme Kai, etc.), all the non-Z fighter Dragon Ball characters, all the GT characters, non-canon transformations like Great Ape Nappa and Raditz, and probably all but the most popular movie villains. Hope they surprise us with GT. Wasn't a fan of the series but the character designs and movesets were awesome.

GT the series isn’t great, but a lot of the general ideas from GT were awesome. Just poorly executed, so I’m down with GT getting some love in this I just wouldn’t make it a priority. It’s a Dragon Ball game, they’re obviously gonna do some DLC, I’d be fine if they saved GT for that

The official English page for the game is now up: dragonballsparkingzero.com/On the site, we now have the official names for all the characters that have been revealed so far, and we seem to have some confirmations: -Both Frieza and Android 17 have the (Super) tag, so they're likely gonna be separate characters from their Z forms, like Goku and Vegeta. I would guess for Frieza, we're gonna have (Z), which will be First Form to 100% Full Power, and (Super), which will be Final Form to Golden (and maybe Black on the unlikely chance they add manga characters). Broly also has the (Super) tag, so it's possible we may get Z Broly in the game, though whether that's on-disc or DLC is unknown. -Interestingly, Future Trunks doesn't have the (Super) tag. So to me, that means that either A. Early Android Saga Trunks is gonna be called "Trunks (Sword)", like how Cell Games Trunks is "Trunks (Fighting)", or B. Sword Trunks is gonna be folded into Super Trunks as one character. However, since it doesn't seem like they've done that for anyone else, I'm leaning towards A. -Piccolo doesn't have a tag, despite having an "Early" and "Late" form in BT3. Maybe his post-Nail/Kami fusion is going to be a transformation, rather than just a separate character? (Considering how long this has been in development, I think any "Super Hero" content is gonna be DLC, and we're probably not gonna see any "Super" Piccolo until then) -Android 18 also doesn't have a (Z) tag, despite 17 having a (Super) tag. It'd be kinda weird for only one of the twins to have two characters, despite both of them beingin the Tournament of Power, but 17 was also the one who won the Tournament, so maybe he gets special treatment.

A few screenshots just got leaked on a Chinese Bandai site for the upcoming VJump article and next trailer. No one earth-shattering, just Kid Gohan, Piccolo, Yamcha and base form Roshi. People are guessing the next trailer is either going to be a Z-Fighter focused trailer, or "Master & Student" themed.

Odd they haven't made a sequel to it Time needs to pass to allow the inclusion of Freeza Black, Moro, and Granola characters/arcs. Personally, I’d much rather get a Xenoverse 3 than a FighterZ 2, though they can feel free to include Android 21 if they want. I did not particularly enjoy FighterZ, but I thought the character had some promise beyond being fan service for people who like thicc women.

VJump scans just dropped, revealing some more new and returning characters. Looks like the next trailer is gonna be "Masters & Students", and the characters are:
-Beerus -Whis -Base form Master Roshi -Yamcha -Krillin -Piccolo -Kid Gohan -Buu Saga/"Adult" Gohan (always found it weird he's referred to as "adult" Gohan despite only being 17) -Videl -Sword Trunks (ie. Trunks from the beginning of the Android Saga- looks like he's gonna be a separate character from Zamasu Saga Future Trunks) -Future Gohan (and it looks like he's actually missing his arm )
