Dragon Ball Z stories
Wandzardeen's Androids, Cammy, and Mai art pieces are stunning, but wait till you see their Tekken characters
We recently saw some of Wandzardeen's beautifully striking gender bender Street Fighter art here on EventHubs, but it seems the talented artist can drum up just as much magic with the traditional versions of fighting game characters.
We've rounded up a gallery of images, most of them daily doodles, to share with you today. The characters featured span across a handful of fighting game titles such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, King of Fighters, Street Fighter, and Tekken.
Someone calculated characters from 17 Dragon Ball FighterZ tournaments where Lab Coat Android 21 doubled #2's picks
The release of Lab Coat Android 21 created a drastic shift in Dragon Ball FighterZ, and while the busted DLC character will be addressed at some point in the future, her impact on the game's meta and its players cannot be understated.
One player going by Uba recently took it upon themselves to calculate the character pick rates for 17 recent DBFZ tournaments where Lab Coat 21 ended up being number 1... by a lot.
Cloud805 releases tier list that rates characters based on what changes they should get in upcoming Dragon Ball FighterZ patch
Bandai Namco recently revealed that a new balance patch is currently in the works for Dragon Ball FighterZ. It's extremely likely that Lab Coat Android 21 will receive nerfs based on how infamous the character has become within the Dragon Ball FighterZ community in the short time that she's been available.
As of right now, it's currently not known if Lab Coat Android 21 is the only character that will receive changes, but it feels like there are plenty of characters that could also use their own share of adjustments.
Update: Lab Coat Android 21 confirmed to still be tournament legal in Dragon Ball FighterZ for Combo Breaker 2022
Update: TheHadou, tournament organizer for Combo Breaker 2022, has confirmed that Lab Coat Android 21 would be tournament legal for Dragon Ball FighterZ at the upcoming event. It was previously declared that there were considerations for banning Dragon Ball FighterZ's latest (and likely last) DLC character.
Seemingly in response to the growing concerns from the community, Bandai Namco recently announced that a balance patch was in the works for Dragon Ball FighterZ. Being that Lab Coat Android 21 was specifically mentioned in the announcement, nerfs are expected.
Balance update for Dragon Ball FighterZ confirmed to be in the works, Lab Coat Android 21 specifically mentioned
A new balance update has been announced for Dragon Ball FighterZ by Bandai Namco Esports over on Twitter.
Not surprisingly, Bandai Namco specifically mentioned that the balance update is for a version of the game that includes Lab Coat Android 21, the last character to join Dragon Ball FighterZ's roster. Based on the overall consensus regarding the character, we're very likely going to see nerfs for Lab Coat Android 21 rather than buffs.

Dragon Ball FighterZ will have a very difficult time surviving in its current state
Dragon Ball FighterZ flew with the highest of highs in terms of both community support and sales this past generation, but it's looking like the game could come crashing down in a fairly sad and unnecessary way.
With Lab Coat Android 21 and the current state of the game, FighterZ is going to have a difficult time surviving, but that doesn't mean the popular title is immediately doomed.

Shenron used to revive character for no reason other than to be stylish during game winning Dragon Ball FighterZ combo
Dragon Ball FighterZ is just one of the games that has a tournament happening at Texas Showdown 2022 this weekend. While SS4 Gogeta is no Android 21, it's undeniable that SS4 Gogeta is one of the strongest characters in Dragon Ball FighterZ thanks to his unique mechanics.
Although it might be easier to collect the Dragon Balls using SS4 Gogeta's Plus Energy of Justice special, many players instead opt to use the Finish Sign to power up SS4 Gogeta's super enough to perform a one-hit KO. However, Reynald made use of both mechanics to win a game of Dragon Ball FighterZ at Texas Showdown 2022 for no reason other than to style on his opponent.
This Japanese Ukiyo-e style Dragon Ball Z fan art is phenomenal and worthy of being hung up in any nerdy household
Today we have a different spin on some quality fighting game fan art. Now, we have seen the fan favorite characters of Dragon Ball FighterZ (and the Dragon Ball franchise in general) illustrated in numerous ways including Street Fighter 4's promotional art style, but we have never seen them quite like this before.
Artist Justin Chien recently shared a handful of pieces on Twitter depicting some of the Dragon Ball Z heavy hitters in the Ukiyo-e Japanese art style. Seeing the likes of Super Saiyan Goku, Perfect Cell, and even Super Buu in this highly stylized, classic format is a real treat, and any of these pieces would be worthy of being framed and hung in any household.
French artist's powerfully dynamic Street Fighter and Dragon Ball works make you feel like you're right in the middle of the action
One of the most difficult things to capture in traditional art is the impression of movement within a still image, and we found someone who is more dynamic in single pieces than you'd experience in an actual animation.
French artist Heyjay Art has been on an absolute tear for months now crafting powerfully impactful Street Fighter and Dragon Ball works that leave you feeling as though you're right in the middle of the action.
Leffen answers the most Googled questions about him including his name origins and thoughts on the Deep Leffen Bot

This might be the craziest solo Trunks combo we've ever seen in Dragon Ball FighterZ
Dragon Ball FighterZ is the type of game that lends itself to incredibly long and stylish combos thanks to mechanics like assists and chaining supers together with delayed hyper combos. While those types of sequences definitely push the limits of what's possible in-game and tend to be very impressive, what is even more remarkable is when someone can produce similar results with just one character.
Naturally, opting not to use some of these important features puts some heavy limits on combo potential, but that hasn't stopped TaliosDrakei from coming up with quite possibly the craziest solo Trunks combo we've ever seen. With just the sword on his back, watch as Trunks flies all around the screen whilst putting the hurt on Perfect Cell.
