 How's it going everybody? DatoDoy here with another Dragon Ball Fighters video. And this time around since we just recently wrapped up our full week of ranked matches for both Jiren and Videl, I thought what better way to follow that up than to talk about everything we've learned about Season 2 since we first got these two characters. And this includes some hints as to what characters may be coming next, as well as a very rough timeline that kind of gives us an idea on when we can expect to actually see these characters. First things first though, we do have to talk about a couple major differences from Season 1 of Dragon Ball Fighters to Season 2. For starters in Season 1, we got a total of 8 characters that were released alongside each other in pairs, so that means we got Bardock and Broly, Vegeta and Fuzo Masu, etc. Now I do think it is important to note that Bardock and Broly came out in March 28th, and then Cooler and Android 17, the last pair, released on September 27th. So effectively the season pass lasted us all the way from March to September, and that's mostly due to the fact that every two months we got a new piece of content, so it would go January the games released, in March we got Broly and Bardock, in April we got Vegeta and Fuzo Masu, etc. Now the reason I bring this all up is because Season 2 for Dragon Ball Fighters is only featuring 6 characters. This fact is both confirmed at the end of the new season trailer, as well as in the description where Bandai specifically states, we bring 6 more characters into the fight, with Dragon Ball Fighters, Fighters Pass 2. So with 2 less total characters in the overall DLC season, it only makes sense that they would want to space them out in a different way in order for the new content to keep coming out at a steady pace across the year. Originally though this was just something you would assume they would do, but some Switch owners when they bought the game got an email that contained what looks to be a rough roadmap for how they plan on actually releasing these characters, and if this all shakes up to be even closely true, it is going to be a long road for these characters and they are going to be presented much differently than the first original 8. Up first in this email you can see the 2 characters that we've already got our hands on were released on the 31st of January, and according to this email, other than some commentator voice packs, we're not going to be getting the next character until May 31st. And another big thing that this email implies is that we will only be getting 1 character at that time. This is equivalent to only getting Bardock and then a couple of months later you get Broly. So yes, on the 31st of May we will get our third DLC character, and then 2 months later on the 31st of July we will get DLC character number 4. DLC 5 will come in September and DLC 6 will come all the way in November. This is a huge change of pace, but it does keep it on track with that original every 2 month schedule. The only difference now is that instead of getting those original 2 characters per the way, it appears we're only going to be getting the 1. I don't think this is inherently a bad thing, it gives them more time to work on each character and make sure there's something unique, but I would be lying if I said as a fan of the game that I didn't really love getting 2 characters at once, it was just a lot more exciting to take them both into training mode. And one last thing that I really want to stress when talking about the DLC schedule is this is actually going to carry us into next year, rather nicely. If you've been a fan of Dragon Ball FighterZ for a while, you may remember that horrible time for September all the way to January where we got no news at all. We got 17 in cooler, and then that was it. We went through all of October and November with no news for Dragon Ball FighterZ at all, and this one will actually carry us to November, and then we wait the 2 months, December, January, and that will bring us right around to where we are now this start of season 2, whether that will be the start of season 3 or maybe a Dragon Ball FighterZ 2, which does seem a little more likely with the change up in how they're handling DLC, that's more of just a conspiracy kind of thing usually when successful fighting games change up the way they do DLC. It usually means that they want to move on to the next iteration of their game, but that's just me thinking that right, that's not officially confirmed or even has been hinted at, that's just something I've seen with a lot of fighting games like Street Fighter V is going through something very similar right now, people are expecting them to announce they're moving on to a new project with the way they're handling Kage's release and stuff like that, or hey maybe this is just the way they want to do it now, and season 3 will also operate in this kind of way. I should also mention that if you're worried about the 2 month in between character release schedule, you shouldn't worry too much, there is usually news announced about the character during that month in between. This was how it worked in season 1, and I don't see them changing it, for example Bardock and Broly came out in March, but we actually first learned of their inclusion in the game back in February 17th when the V jump for that month originally dropped, and this was a trend that all characters except for maybe Cooler followed. So the TLDR version of season 2 is that we're getting 6 characters instead of 8, and we will receive 1 character every 2 months, and I think it's very likely that in between those 2 month releases we will get 1 month where we get information about the character coming up next. Unfortunately the longest wait is going to be the one we're experiencing right now with Jiren and Videl dropping a few days ago, and now we have to wait 3 more months to get our hands on the next character. After that it will go back to a somewhat regular schedule. And now we can move on to the much more fun portion of the video, the actual characters being hinted at for season 2. Now this hint comes from us from a picture of I believe the Nintendo Switch Store that showed off the season full of characters, all 6 of them, but for every character that wasn't Jiren or Videl we got a standard silhouette in front of a colored background. And you can see in Jiren and Videl's picture the color behind them actually does match up with the character. And of course it also helps to know that Gojita Blue and Broly have also been confirmed for the season, so that instantly ticks off both the green background and the blue background. Leaving us with the 2 unknown characters with a brown background and also a pinkish background. And of course these are the 2 that most people are interested in. Now I've seen a ton of good guesses for what the purple or pink one could be, ranging from either Kefla, Jinnemba, or maybe something like that, and I could definitely see that happening. I definitely think Kefla might have a slightly higher chance, but I could also see them going with Jinnemba purely because they have said that when choosing fighters for this game they look for something that they think would be unique to a 2D fighter and something that would be a lot of fun to mess around with in development. And I don't know the first Dragon Ball character that comes to mind when I think interesting fighting character has to be Jinnemba. There's just so much you could do from him from his sword range to his dimensional teleport ability. He's just such a cool character and I really hope that if it turns out that this isn't him they at least mess around with him in the future. But that's all for the pink character slot. The brown character slot is actually the one that I think a lot of people are struggling with who could actually go there. I've seen a lot of people saying it could either be Raditz or Hercule. Personally I don't really see it being Hercule or at least I hope it's not because I would really like Hercule to be a joke character, but I also definitely see the issue with actually making people pay for a character like that. So I think Raditz would definitely be a lot more likely for this spot, but I don't know, even though I really want Raditz in this game I just can't shake the feeling that I don't think they'd put him in this season. But who knows I definitely think brown fits Raditz as a character so hopefully they do put him in. If you have any ideas on what that brown character slot could be or the pinkish one for that matter make sure to let me know down in the comments because I genuinely can't think of anything else. Make sure to also let me know your thoughts on how you feel about the DLC being cut from eight characters to six and everything that means for the game.
