I mean I get it. But being a Dragonball fan I want to have epic battles, not just see who can spam the combos the most. The game is beautiful to watch and I just wish they would work on balancing it out and maybe adding combo breakers or something...idk.

I'm not disagreeing with you, in a way this IS a pay-to-win game, but then again most popular fighting games are; Mortal Kombat has tiers, Street Fighter 5 has tiers (with DLC characters usually being top tier), Killer Instinct has an in-game currency etc... I can probably only think of ONE fighting game that doesn't stick to this formula: King of Fighters... but then again that's a very underrated game. You, however, are hating on this game for all the wrong reasons. As somebody who's played this for over a year now, I can attest that it's a pretty balanced game! Well.. it still got tiers, sure! But nothing can stop you from playing freaking Nappa and still be good at the game. You're hating on the game because of flashy combos and air-combo-ing which are literally specific to games like these and take a TON of accuracy and planning to actually pull off (or else opponents might just escape with a Z recovery, easy)... Not because Goku UI walks into projectiles, not because he can get out of pretty much ANY planned mindgame by tapping two buttons into his counter-grab, not because he can sustain air-combo by mashing one button to oblivion, and not because his specials can be chained (only character with chain-able specials besides Gotenks who is lowtier crap lol) Did I mention he can walk through Ki blasts? So no Ki can ever hit him unless it's a kamehameha, you're not hating on the game because Party Battles are almost impossible with the recurrent crashing, not because the ranked system is a major pile of ♥♥♥♥ with smurfs giving rookies a horrible time... Not hating on the lack of visual customization for characters or the lackluster storyline in Story Mode... but you're hating on it for something it was SUPPOSED to have! If you hate the core mechanics for the game, then why not just swap to a game with mechanics you're attracted to? Want Combo Breakers? Go to Killer Instinct! Want slow and not too pacey gameplay, go to Street Fighter 5! Want combos that actually end, fatalities and gore, go to Mortal Kombat! It's THAT simple. My most favourite fighting game is KOF14, but if I complained in their forums that the game doesn't have air-combos, they'd crucify me!

I hope you see the point I'm trying to make here... Each game is different, gotta play what you like!

Killer instinct has an in-game currency that's absolutely useless in battles, since you have all characters unlocked from the start :D

Kid Buu, Adult Gohan, Teen Gohan, ssj Vegeta, Cell, Frieza, Trunks, Yamcha, 21 are all pretty damn strong, and are in the base roster.

Whoa! Last I checked (3 years ago) you had to buy KI to unlock characters, did they actually fix that? Did THEY somehow make enough money off of stupid 12 year old kids who spammed Shadow Jago, which cost like 10 dollars' worth of KI back then so now they're like "yeah we made enough, switch tactic"?? DID THEY ACTUALLY REPENT? This is news to me, please confirm!

The steam version has all content unlocked from the start. For the Windows store version, you either buy it like on steam, or you play the free version that has like 3 characters.

True, chibi majin buu, Gohan ssj2, its meta from base roster, true, and those chars abilities should be banned from competitive sport gaming, but question was about dlc chars so i confirmed which are p2w, historical and critical point in history of dbfz i believe was season 2 Goku Gt, that one was literally purest definition of p2w situation... you just threw money on him, youre ssj bluer from saibaman in one evening, just lylylylylylylylylyly this party, Goku ui now reminds me of that curse of GT from s2
