Dragon Ball FighterZ Bardock And Broly Trailers Are Quick And Punchy

Bandai Namco has released a couple of very short teasers for Broly and Bardock, the first DLC fighters for Dragon Ball FighterZ. There's no combat gameplay but we do see the legendary Super Saiyan and the father of Goku gearing up for a fight. These short animations look to be pre-fight intros which have been edited down.

For fans of Dragon Ball Z the inclusion of Broly is exciting, as he's incredibly powerful and, in the series' lore, is believed to be a mythical warrior that only appears once every 1000 years. No doubt there will be some awe-inspiring combo videos made with him. It'll be interesting to see his fighting style as, despite his overwhelming size, Broly manages to remain quite light on his feet.

Bardock, meanwhile, is the father of Dragon Ball Z protagonist Goku, but hasn't had as many opportunities to show off his fighting ability. In Dragon Ball FighterZ, however, not only will he be able to take on some the series' most iconic fighters, but he'll also be able to transform into a Super Saiyan.

Images of both characters as well as some brief details (below) have also appeared on the Japanese Dragon Ball FighterZ website. Broly is described as being super powerful with long reach and has his signature energy attack: "Eraser Cannon." Bardock, meanwhile, is a rush character that combines speed and power. He excels in close distances and has a move called "Riot Javelin," which is likely similar to his Final Spirit Cannon from the series.

Broly and Bardock are included in Dragon Ball FighterZ's season pass, along with the other six yet-to-be-revealed DLC characters coming to the fighting game. Bandai Namco hasn't announced individual pricing for the two fighters, but the season pass costs $35 USD / £29 / $52.95 AU.
