Like all Dragon Ball Z video games, a player has the option of using loads of characters in Dragon Ball FighterZ. However, the roster for this game is incredible small when compared to previous Dragon Ball Z games. In total, a player will have the chance to use twenty-one different fighters apart of the game's Basic Roster. This roster of fighters includes Android 16, Android 18, Yamcha, Beerus, Kid Buu, Majin Buu, Captain Ginyu, Cell, Frieza, Adult Gohan, Teen Gohan, Goku, Goku Black. Gotenks, Hit, Krillin, Nappa, Piccolo, Tien, Trunks, and Vegeta.
Should a player like to add a few more characters (up to eleven) to this list, they can do so by purchasing Downloadable Content (later to come) or by unlocking some by simply playing the game.
