best beginner characters? (either from the base roster or DLC)

[Orion Owlbear]

I'm getting back into fighterz after having played it on the switch and taking a break, and want to get back into it! any tips on how to get better, and what characters are best for learning the game?

I'm currently super broke and can't buy DLC's, but if i could get a pointer as to which ones are good (aside from z broly and UI goku, who i mained on switch) that would be great!

Goku black, goku ssj, vegeta ssj, vegito, gogeta ssj4, gogeta blue, bardock, goku ui & tenshinhan.

Kefla, shes top tier & pretty recommended at beginners cause her neutral is easy mode, while letting you do alot of easy + cool stuff

DLC aside, SSJ goku & Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta (who comes free from enough ingame currency)

bardock, goku black, ssj goku, ssj vegeta, yamcha, tien, goku blue, base vegeta, base goku.

these characters at a beginner level have pretty easy gameplans to figure out that also introduce you to the deeper mechanics of the game without sending your brain into overload. try to stay away from the fusions (both gogetas and vegito) when beginning, they have extremely privileged buttons and moves that can form bad habits. remember to learn your basics first and then get creative.

I second this. I've fallen off since season 3, but even back then, she was a very easy to pick up character who had enough depth to make her fun to dig into, some neat options, and very satisfying advanced combos.

I dunno where he is on the tier list these days, but I can also recommend S Broly. All of his stuff... just... freaking connects, and just when you think the combo is about to end... hi, enjoy another 10 seconds of watching Broly go Mister Clean on your ass.

Vegito is another easy recommend, because he makes a pretty good anchor, doesn't really need assists to go to work, and even seasoned pros will get nabbed by a spirit sword on a regular basis.

It's easier to list who aren't the easiest to start with and take slightly more work:
-Buu
-Beerus
-Ginyu
-Nappa
and probably that's it, though if you like them there's no reason not to pick them either.

Anyone with a non-standard j.2H will be slightly harder since they will have unusual air combos.

honeslty every character is easy it only gets challenging to some degree if you try to learn rejumps or optimal routes to squeeze out a lil more damage

I've played Teen Gohan, Bardock, Vegito (SSGSS) almost the entire time I've played DBFZ.
Easy to learn, hard to master, and there are way better characters - but they aren't weak by any means.
