Practically Every Version of Goku and Vegeta Confirmed Playable in Dragon Ball: Sparkling! Zero

Bandai Namco confirmed the first 24 characters for Dragon Ball: Sparkling! Zero, which includes fan favorites like early Z Goku, mid Z Goku, end Z Goku, and Vegeta with a scouter.

While we write that jokingly, all 24 characters are a version of either Goku, or Vegeta. This is a common practice for Dragon Ball games to do, which should come as no surprise given this is part of the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series, but still an amusing way to reveal a batch of characters.

Bandai Namco Blog Post

Despite having so many versions of the same characters, Bandai Namco confirms “each character brings a unique blend of techniques and abilities.” How different is hard to say, though previous iterations have done a fairly good job of making each version feel unique.
