Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z Character Types

Siliconera recently gave us another insight from producer Shuhei Sekii for the upcoming Dragon Ball Z team melee fighting game for the PS Vita, Xbox 360 and Play Station 3 entitled:  Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z.  The game will allow up to 4 players to play together as a team or go head to head with other 4 players for a 8-player death battle.

Each members of the team will have a different set of character types: Fighting type, Ki Blast type, Support type, and Interference type. This way, the game will be more balanced when engaging other teams online.

Sekii explains some sample scenarios for the fighting styles:

If the player picks a fighting style character such as Goku or Nappa, they are very good at attacking enemies close up. Characters that specialize in ranged attacks like Vegeta and Piccolo, they can move quickly, but their attack power is less than a fighting character. Kid Gohan is an example of a support type character. They can share energy with other players during online battles. These are small characters like Kid Trunks. The last type, Interference type, is like Krillin when he uses Solar Flare to make sure other characters doesn’t attack his friends. Tien is another Interference type character.
