Dragon Ball FighterZ Gets a Huge Balance Update

Bandai Namco has released a massive update for Dragon Ball FighterZ that affects over 20 different characters and the game's various game modes.

The patch notes were shared today with details about everything that's changed in the update that released the same day as the DLC additions of base Goku and base Vegeta, the former's trailer seen above. Both of those characters' more powerful Super Saiyan Blue forms are affected in the patch as well as their combined Vegito fusion with the full patch notes that detail every fighter change.

Sharing the full patch notes for the Dragon Ball FighterZ update here would take up a significant amount of room, so they're better left to be read through the official patch notes.
