any Dragonball Z fans? (concept build)

So I've been thinking of making concept build using Goku from DragonBall Z.

Wanting some feedback from DBZ fans about thoughts and powers to go with.

First off I'm up for any AT suggestions, but this is a good starting point as it seems more people here reply, and also since severl scrapper options is in the running.

I'm needing range, melee attacks, able to withstand alot of damage.
One option for primary is MA, since he is known as a martial artist that seems to be a good choice, but from watching the cartoon we all know he's far more then just that. Ma lacks ranged attacks. So that brought me to KM. KM has melee and ranged attacks which seem to fit for what i'm needing. However the animation might hurt the concept a bit, to me I can look past that. Even if I go with a primart that doesn't have ranged, i can always choose an epic power that plugs the hole a bit (if that's the case any suggestions on which set? hero or vill. side)

Then comes the secondary, seems several of those could work so I'm open for any thoughts in this area. FA has some nice bonuses to help out and could give him the yellow flame look when he goes super. But some of the powers might not go aswell. Invul. I could see that working all the way around, been a while since I've played one so I might be forgetting about something. Energy Aura, again another one that could work but a couple powers might not fit the theme. SR could even be in the running. Just so many that could work but I'm wanting it to be playable and the powers to work good enough so I can solo even if it means getting a little off track with theme but staying close enough so others will get what I'm going for.

And with Brutes getting stronger as they fight, well that could make them a good choice aswell, so any thoughts here?

Then there's always Blasters. With the primary attacks and certain secondary I could see it working very well for the concept. Although it'll take a lot more to get him to be as survival as I would like. Again, give any thoughts or ideas you may hiave on going Blaster.

Now for really good survival, with Tanks getting MA that could be an options. Can't forget about KM for them aswell. Tanks primaries, just like scrappers secondaries alot of these could work, but which would be the best for survival and concept rolled into one?

Now that brings me to PB's. For some reason they stuck out to me for this concept for a while now. They get a good mixture of range and melee to tie it all together very nicely. With the new changes how survival will it be now?

I'm up for considering any and all AT's, just posted some of my thoughts as a starting point, so if there's something that I didn't mention that might would work better, please tell me your opinion.

I've been stuck on this for a while now trying to decide which way to go, so for whom ever might have some ideas, thoughts, pointers, opinions or whatever it may be, please feel free to tell me. I will greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for any and all help!!!

Try kinetic melee it has some nice moves that looks like chi attacks like kamehameha.

Personally I'd wait for Street Justice.

In the show, Roshi never really trains them in martial arts. Goku even advises against it to Ubb, saying that a true fighter just goes with the flow, or instinct, in a fight. Less about the actual moves and more about the end result etc.

If you really want to get started now though, MA, with some various alt animations could work pretty well. If you go Scrapper you can choose the Energy Epic and get Torrent, that could represent the Kamehameha.

As much as I love Blasters, for this you'd really want something durable. Brutes and Scrappers would be where I'd focus. For me I'd probably go with;

Street Justice/Invulnerable Scrapper. Invulnerable can easily be made to look like your SSJ aura.

All I have to contribute (after those well thought out posts above), is to be careful with your costume, name, and character description. It would suck to go through all the work to get it all just the way you like it, and for you to get Generic-ed because you "ripped off" a copyrighted intellectual property.

Indeed. Sayain's appear to be fair game, Just avoid naming him something like XXGokuXX and you should be okay. Just to be safe though, I'd avoid having anything in the bio that could be considered ™.

Or you could wait for the next round of proliferation! There's been a lot of requests for a martial arts secondary for blasters. So for me I'd pick Rad/MA blaster. (The day will come when it does happen lol)

Rad looks much more DBZesque if you colour the powers blue.

My first thought was Fiery Aura Brute with flight, no KB protection and a primary that has range, KB and/or punchy. Kinetic Melee could work. MA too. DM with emphasis on Shadow Maul, Sands of Mu and Flurry.

Besides that, it feels PB works well for this, human form only. If you go blaster, rad or energy blast althou fire colored right (without rain of fire) works too.

It depends how strongly you want to follow the DBZ theme, how creative you can be with the build and what you like to play.

Personally, I instantly thought of the long power ups in the show (sans Kai) that tore up the surroundings. In this game, that'd basically be a Brute standing around going "HUUUUUUUUUUAAAH!!" while a bunch of minions come at you trying to hurt you but just get vaporized by your Aura (Blazing/Burn). Hmm, maybe a DM/FA Brute or a FA/MA Tanker?

...Just read Leo's sig quote of Samuel...and i call ********! LOL

Ok, so I waited for SJ and now that it's out liking that as a primary. I've gotten to lvl 30ish or so so far. I went with energy aura since I wanted that as a combo anyways, but I'm not really getting the DBZ theme feeling with ea. I'm just wondering if anyone think with some tweaks to the toggles and an added aura could make it fit better or should I reroll the toon with a different secondary? If you think a different secondary would be better what would it be? Thanks!

My first 50 was a Goku inspired en/en blaster named Super Sayain Nicky. The name got nuked after 6 months though as the GMs said it was copywritten or something. The toons lost my intrest after it just bacme SSN

I actually made Gohan hes at lvl 38 as a Energy/Energy Blaster not bad but yeah the squishy feeling when he does get hit takes away from the DBZ tough feeling lol!
