You are right to an extent, but the characters still had their own traits and quirks. Kale and Caulifla have literally been done in the past, only thing unique about them is the fact they have bobs and vagene.

Which, to the crowd that got bored with the sausage fest and wanted to see some more even representation, is in and off itself quite a lot.

Also, I think they were doing a thing where Cabba, Caulifla and Kale were supposed to mirror Vegeta, Goku and Brolyu respectively, which could be interesting to see if they ever get some more time to develop.

Well super is ending in march, and it was never supposed to expand beyond the end of z anyway. There just isnt time to expand on super after this arc ends. If they are just mirrors of already existing characters with their only unique trait being "theyre female" then they just shouldnt exist. I want my female character to be their own character, not an empty shell of one that already exists.

Not until you explain whats so good about Kale and Caulifla. Oh, thats right! You cant.

I think that if they really want to push far, they could eventually make Bulma fight. Just put her in a big mech with that epic Toriyama-style robot design.

But yeah, the only female fighters in Dragon Ball besides Kale & Caulifla are weak. 18 was the only strong female before Super. Videl is nice but she's still weaker than Yamcha. She also didn't fight for long before becoming a housewife (just like Chichi when you look at it). I think that she should be included regardless tho.

As far as Kale and Caulifla go, I've already explained my opinion about them in another post but the characters themselves aren't that bad, Super's lame writing is the problem. The staff did a really poor job, everyone was looking forward to them when they were first teased because let's be real, everyone wanted to see female super saiyans in canon. But they've been so badly written that almost everyone hates them now. They could've been a lot better.
But Super's writing has no impact on a fighting game so these characters being implemented in FighterZ would not be a bad idea at all. It's the easiest way for them to add relevant (power-wise) canon female characters. On top of that, they're saiyans, the main race of the show, and they look cool.

Even Kurulin. As a character he's kinda important in the plot, but his personality isn't that much interesting. He's been forced into an important role up until the Android saga for some reason. Just like a lot of DBZ supporting characters, but DBZ fans will accept all of them. Then new characters appear in DBS and DBZ fans will hate everything.

Well, you asserted that Kale and Caulifla were more boring and flat than any other character so far, so I think a side-by-side comparison with characters that actually did manage to get on the roster without anyone complaining is actually pretty fair. Tien is an Arrogant Kung Fu Guy and Nappa is a brute. Those character types were seen before their first appearance in DB, and after. So I'd say the only thing about them that's unique is their design and, in Tien's case, time.

Some of you guys say that none of the female characters could be actual fighters, yet Hercule is an option in the other games, that makes sense.

Videl could destroy Hercule with 0 effort. He is a joke character and they put him on the same level as Z fighters. With that in mind, even Bulma should be a playable character.

Ah the good old classic, evading the question when you know how absolutely wrong you are. You DBS fans are all the same "Oh this character is useless because he is weak" Krillin might be weak but he still has personallity, and literally the strongest attack in the entire series barring that one filler episode with cell. Characters aren't gauged purely on power levels and strength, and if they were then that just means Super is even worse than people make it out to be, because one minute ssj2 goku is wrecking caulifla and kale, but then the next they are able to keep up with goku in god form.

I have no problem explaining why those characters are valid (barring nappa, hes only there because hes iconic and has a lot of unique moves). The point is he was the one to go and say Kale and Caulifla should be in the game and when asked why there would be any reason as to why he replied with "hurr explain why these ones are in the game then". That goes against both the question and his own point. If hes not willing to back up his own arguement in any way then im not going to humour him. Simple as.

You old fans accepted Broly just because the plot said that he's a genius. But then it's not ok for Caulifla, who is a genius. It's just your stubbornness that don't want to admit that new things can be good.

Hey, man, I'm been watching Dragonball since the time they still came on tapes, and I assure you I did not accept Broly. Like, wow, that was some stupid stuff.

Who said we accept Broly? Broly is a trash tier movie villain and there is nothing "genius" about him. Caulifla is a moronic Goku clone aswell, Kale being the trash clone of an already trash character. Once again, explain what is so great about these 2 characters instead of trying to evade the question and saying "Oh you old fans this and that".

U6 saiyans are interesting, because they evolved differently from U7 saiyans. Their planet is more civilized and the saiyans there are more like earthlings. They have emotions similar to humans instead of just being a warrior race wanting to fight. Caulifla loves fighting but also understand people's feelings (like Kale's feelings), unlike the original saiyans from U7.

People may hate that Kefla can powerup herself just by seeing someone more powerful than her, but I think it's cool and unique that passion alone can make her stronger.

If you can't see why they're better characters than some generic bald muscular brawler like Nappa then it's your problem.

I don't agree with you about Krillin. He's been a very unique character since the very beginning of Dragon Ball, as the main character's first rival, and most importantly, best friend. He's always been there with Goku. And he's shown a lot of very nice personality traits throughout DB, DBZ and DBS. Krillin is that small weak dude that's always ready to fight villains even if they are a gorillion times stronger than him. He's always ready to do his best to protect his friends, even if he knows that he's weak. And he actually holds his own for a time against stronger opponents by outsmarting them multiple times. He still loses in the end, but he's got a really strong and likeable personality (on top of having really cool techniques). He's one of my all time favourites for that. He really grew on me. I understand how 18 fell in love with him. He's a strong man (not talking about just physical strength here) with plenty of heart.

And remember that he can handle a woman with infinite stamina. He's got more manliness than the whole male DBZ franchise combined.
