With Videl getting two different designs to her name, we're hoping that a few other characters might get that same treatment

With the announcement of Videl, a fan-favorite from the Dragon Ball series, fans were treated to her more long-lasting look from the Buu Saga, and the only one she has a proper fight in, though there are many who prefer her initial hairstyle with long pigtails.

Thankfully, we got word just shortly after that despite it not happening to any of the previous characters, Videl would indeed be receiving an alternate costume, in which she has her long-haired design from her first few appearances.

As a hugely expansive series, Dragon Ball contains a ton of different characters who have sported changes in their looks throughout the years, and while many characters have references to these different clothes or even to entirely different characters in their selectable colors in-game, there hasn't been anything to the level of Videl's second costume so far.

Obviously, most of the villains are fairly limited in their garb, partly since they show up only once and stick around until they're defeated, but also partly because many of them look like weird space aliens who don't wear much in the way of clothing, if any at all. The heroes, though, have had some interesting fashion choices throughout the IP's existence.

It's entirely possible that Videl is simply an exception to the rule, due to having a fairly big difference in design even beyond just her clothing, and that we can't go around expecting any more alternate costumes moving forward.

But where's the fun in assuming that? Now that the floodgates have been opened, it seemed perfectly apt to do a story speculating on what exciting costumes we could possibly get for characters currently in the game. There are a lot of them, so let's have a gander at what costumes might be fun to see released in game.

Classic Android 17 This one is easy as pie, because the costume is already in the game via Android 18's moveset and supers. The model exists, and the build of it is obviously identical to the Android 17 who's playable in the game. While there's nothing wrong with his Dragon Ball Super design, and it makes sense for him to have it since he has moves from that new installment, there's obviously much love from fans for Android 17 as we first saw him as well. Considering Android 18 looks like she used to, it'd be nice to pair her and her brother up on a team together with both of them wearing their classic costumes.

Saiyaman Adult Gohan This one is in a somewhat similar boat to the Android 17 one in that the model is already in the game. Great Saiyaman is a part of Videl's moveset, and as such a beloved character (being Gohan's costumed super hero identity for a brief period), it certainly wouldn't hurt to put that costume to more use, especially in such a bizarre way as coupling it with the very serious attitude and moves present on Adult Gohan.

Classic Tien This one isn't really a biggie either, but much like Android 17, Tenshinhan (or Tien as he's known in America) has a more classic design than the one used in the game. While the game's design looks fantastic, nostalgia can prevail and some people would probably prefer to have the classic version of him present. Granted, he does switch clothing slightly throughout the series, but he's most frequently identified by his green pants and red belt, and in the image above from the Cell Saga, he also has part of a green tunic covering only half of his chest. Hey, it'd be cool to use his most famous appearance.

Ginyu is Goku To be honest, this is the potential costume I'm the most passionate about. One of the most memorable parts of the already extremely memorable Namek Saga is when Captain Ginyu realizes that he's completely outmatched against Goku, and uses his signature Body Change technique to steal our hero's body. This leads to a fight where he battles against some of Goku's allies together with Jeice (the only remaining member of the Ginyu Force at that time). Visually, he's really nothing but Goku with a scowl and a scouter, but can you imagine rocking Ginyu's moves in-game with Goku doing all the wacky poses and calling in the Ginyu Force members? I can, and I want it to stop being just my imagination.

Saiyan Armor Trunks During the latter part of the Androids and Cell Saga, Trunks dons a Saiyan Armor in honor of his father, and after spending time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, his hair also grows quite long. While his current in-game appearance is more iconic, and is the only appearance in which he actually uses his sword, the Saiyan Armor design for Trunks is really cool too, and he even gets a different hairstyle when going Super Saiyan due to the longer hair. It'd be a pretty nice change of pace to be able to use this one every once in a while, too.

Krillin With Hair If you're not more than a very casual fan of Dragon Ball, it might come as a surprise to you that Krillin actually isn't naturally bald. He shaves his head because he believes that's what true warriors are supposed to do, and thus once he stops focusing on fighting and instead becomes a family man after marrying Android 18, he grows his hair out again. This is the design he rocks throughout the Buu Saga, and while he doesn't do all that much fighting in it, it's still a distinct appearance that often appears in games and other media as an alternate look for him, and it would be cool to have that here as well.

Nappa With Hair Probably even less known, and far less flattering, is this instance of Nappa actually having hair. This is from the anime special Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku, which takes place during the last days of Planet Vegeta and chronicles the end of Goku's father Bardock. Nappa makes a brief appearance together with a young Vegeta, and you can see that he has a little mop of hair in this appearance. While it doesn't last long and he doesn't really do anything in this haired form, there's just something about putting hair on a bald guy that's funny in fighting games. Remember that super weird Sagat costume in Street Fighter 4? It'd be like that. Weird, funny, off-putting and fantastic all around.

Baseball Yamcha Early on in the Dragon Ball Z anime Yamcha is shown to be pursuing a career as a professional baseball player, and this also resurfaces later in Dragon Ball Super. It's actually already part of Dragon Ball FighterZ, since your avatar lobby can actually don the Yamcha baseball player design. Given the character's status as a relative joke character, it'd be fun to include a goofy costume with that. Not that baseball players are goofy on their own, but fighting super-powered battles in a baseball uniform is pretty damn strange.

Badman Vegeta The costume that everyone clicked on this article for is indeed part of it — Vegeta's Badman shirt is as legendary as the series itself. At one point in the series, Vegeta is forced to put on clothes that Bulma happens to have lying around, and ends up with a pink shirt that says "BADMAN" across the back. Given that he's wearing this during some quite serious scenes, including what unbeknownst to him is his first meeting with his son, it just makes the costume all the more funny, and getting to put Vegeta in it in-game would be the best present ever.

Casual Piccolo Finally, this is a costume that only appeared in a filler episode in the Dragon Ball Z anime, but it's as fondly remembered as ever. In one episode, Goku's wife Chichi gets angry about her husband and Piccolo simply loitering around the house (though they're actually training for the coming of the Androids), and says that they need to help out around the house by getting driver's licenses. Since Piccolo looks quite ominous, they do their best to make him look less threatening, which includes putting him in a backwards cap, a purple t-shirt and a yellow sweatshirt with the word "POSTBOY" printed across the chest. While it's perhaps the least inconspicuous disguise ever, it's a fantastic look for such a serious character as Piccolo, and in a similar way as Vegeta's Badman shirt, it'd make for some great comic relief to have it as a selectable costume.

Looking over this list in its entirety, it might come off as if I have a bunch of serious picks first and then a bunch of joke choices, but I'm genuinely serious about every selection made in this list.

Now, I don't think we're going to get any more extra costumes, at least not to characters already in the game, but if ArcSys and Bandai Namco were to be so kind, I think these would be some fun, cool and interesting choices.
