Players will also notice other characters are showcased on the ending grid like Frieza, Cell, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Trunks and more. From the announcement, it appears each character will have unique selections for their many forms. Hopefully the character move set is diverse to match the number of forms certain characters will have. Having multiple forms of Goku from a similar era with similar moves makes sense, but Goku should have different moves from early in Z compared to his Super forms.
