Dogura's Journey to Be the Best Broly in Dragon Ball FighterZ!
By Jeff Kotuby ·
Ryo "Dogura" Nozaki already mentioned his wish to be the top Broly player in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Finally, we've gotten our first glimpse of his Legendary Super Saiyan in action.
During Final Round, Ryo “Cyclops|Dogura” Nozaki spoke with YouTuber BornFree about a few fighting game-related topics, one of which being the two new Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC characters, Bardock and Broly. While the FGC pro offered some compliments to Goku’s dad, he mentioned his and the rest of his home country’s love for the Legendary Super Saiyan, and his desire to be the top player of the titan in DBFZ. You can watch the full interview with BornFree below:
But that was then, and this is now, and now the chartreuse Saiyan is available to play, and we’ve already gotten some high-level play from Dogura using his beloved character against another high-level player named Mokemoti:
Right off the bat, Dogura shows his proficiency with his favorite character by eliminating his opponent’s Bardock rather swiftly. Soon after, the DBFZ Thaiger Uppercut champ shows off Broly’s trademark super armor by decking his opponent’s Trunks right in his half-Saiyan jaw. He goes on to defeat all three of his opponent’s characters with Broly, though he has some help from his other characters.
The Dog's On Top
Dogura has always been a strong anime player, especially in the Guilty Gear XRD series, where he has placed near the top in almost every tournament he’s played in. He’s also got a strong presence in Street Fighter V and BlazBlue: ChronoPhantasma as well. He’s also the player who sent the current king of DBFZ, Goichi “Cyclops|GO1” Kishida to the loser’s bracket at Final Round:
While the two new characters are tournament banned for the immediate future, we can only hope to see more from them over the coming months. It will be exciting to see such a high-level player like Dogura going into battle with Broly, especially because of his personal connection.
