Pretty sure the X-Men and the Fantastic Four (villains) being absent is a licensing issue. I know that doesn't make things any better, but it is what it is. I would have liked to see Dr. Doom myself.
I only plan on playing MCVI until DBFZ is released. I have been
rediculously excited for the game since they announced Android 16. From what what little I watched of Dragonball, most of the fighting was either the usual selection of punches and kicks or beam attacks. Having a character in there that breaks that up a bit is a welcome change of pace. That said, I am slightly worried that we're already getting different versions of the same characters already. It makes me wonder if they're running out of ideas for who else to include. I will be most disapointed if Mr Satan doesn't make it in at some point though
