Feel the wrath of Legendary Saiyans with all of the anime references in the Bardock and Broly trailers for Dragon Ball FighterZ

Since the game was first revealed back at E3 2017, YouTuber and avid Dragon Ball fan IKevinX has continuously made videos of all of the references to the original anime and manga (and even other video games) that have been lovingly placed into Dragon Ball FighterZ by Arc System Works and Bandai Namco Entertainment. Now, with the first two of eight upcoming DLC characters set to arrive later this month — and their trailers revealed — it’s time for him to get back to work.

Our first pair of additional FighterZ come from a corner of the Dragon Ball universe currently unrepresented in the playable roster: the movies and TV specials.

First up, we have Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan, who’s signature massive stature and brutal fighting style appear to be well-represented, with attacks being drawn from his initial appearance in the eighth film, Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, as well as the tenth film, Second Coming, (thankfully seeming to avert the atrocity that was Bio-Broly), we can see many of the powerful attacks, command grabs, and even a double stomp that he pummeled Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and others with. Finally, we get a quick glimpse at his Level 3 Meteor Attack: his signature Eraser Cannon.

Finally, we have the father of Goku and Raditz — and the man who indirectly started the Super Saiyan legend — Bardock. Obviously drawing large inspiration from both the TV specials Dragon Ball Z: Bardock – The Father of Goku and Episode of Bardock, we can see many of the attacks from his battles against Frieza’s army. Tobi and Chilled have been incorporated into his moveset, most notably his Vortex Crusher, Rebellion Trigger, and Final Spirit Cannon — which appears to be his Level 3 Meteor Attack, enhanced by his Super Saiyan transformation. You can check out both videos below, as well as links to previous coverage of his work.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with Bardock and Broly set to be released together on Wednesday, March 28th.

VesperArcade discusses the opening of the Capcom Pro Tour in this Final Round 2018 aftermath video

Final Round opened the 2018 Capcom Pro Tour in a big way. Carrying on with his momentum from Evo Japan, PG|Infiltration has shown that he is back in the saddle, winning another event on the strength of his Menat and his Juri.

But that was just the tip of the iceberg, as VesperArcade explores in this video. With the emergence of Kolin as a powerhouse, and the concerns about Abigail taking out various killers across the tournament, there are many things that will need to be considered by both Capcom and players going forward.
