Also, the Oozaru form is confirmed.
These are all the basic characters The actual game will HAVE ALOT MORE CHARACTERs.
Characters from all 13 movies has been said to be in the game.
Also note, some sites are saying that all characters from Budokai 3 will be in this game(But I'm just waiting to see if that is true).
So far it has been stated that it's has over 50-60 characters and over 90 if count the transformations.
As of now, it still seems like that there is no In-Game Transformation.
There is battle damage in this game(As the battle goes, the character's appearance changes due to the damage it recieves).
Confirm stages as of now:
Mountains
Desert
Plains
Kami's Lookout
Namek
Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Cell Ring
Islands
World Tournament
City
Each stage are said to be destructable, which means the World Tournament Stage is also destructable as well.
Gameplay Modes:
Single-Player Dragon
Two-Player Versus
Ultimate Battle
Dragon Capsule
Evolution Z modes
Worlds Martial Arts Tournament
Z Gate Mode
Expect Cut Scenes to be back in the story mode.
Z Gate Mode is basically the thing I found out weeks ago on a JPN site where you can over 100(Well, 150 now) situations/battles.
The story mode is 50% longer than Budokai 3(Including the "What If" storylines).
Traditional collection of Capsules.
Stuff such as stages, characters, and as well things from the anime(Scenes and lines) are unlockable by playing through Z Gate Mode.
Controls of the game:

Also note, each character can also fire a Generic Big Ki blast/ball that doesn't count as a blast move.
The Green bar is the Health Bar.
The Yellow bar is the Ki Bar.
The Blue bar and the 3 balls are the Blast Bar.
*NOTE* The official site stated that's what the bars are but it seems like they keep changing it and hopefully Bandai will fix it or finalize it on their Official Website.
In order to use the Blast moves, you must have the right amount of Blast Balls filled. The Balst bar will fill in time. Example: You must have 3 Blast Balls filled to use an Ultimate Blast(Blast 3).
**You also use your KI when doing Blast 2 moves and Ultimate Blast moves**
Blast 1: In order to use a strong blast, it is wise to use Blast 1, in which moves such as Kaioken and Taiyoken(Solar Flare) are used.
Blast 2: Rather then using small Ki blasts, use a Ki blast with more Power, which is Blast 2, the Signiture Moves(Such as Kamehameha, Galic Gun).
Ultimate Blast(Blast 3): If you want to do a huge damage in one hit, then use a signiture move that surpasses a Signiture move, the Ultimate Blast(Blast 3). When Ki gauge is full and you time it right, it will hit the opponent.
Each Character will have one of each Blast moves(This is still unkown).
In Air Battles: They are a battle of Speed and use your Ki attacks well
In Air vs. On Ground Battle: You can move easily in air, but cannot hide; you can hide easily, but cant move well.
On Ground Battle: Its a battle between pure strength; use the environment as your advantage.
On Ground vs. In Water: Your Opponent cant see you, use this advantage to use your signature move.
In Water Battle: Your sight and accuracy is off a little, you must use a strategy to fight in water and win.
Dragon Rush is also in the game and also Rush and Smash Attack.

Super 17 seems to have the ability to absorb Ki(Which means the posibility that 19 and 20 might have the ability)
Also, to clear something up:
Well, seems like it's confusing people so I will tell them. The picture of SSJ2 Goku's Blast 1 move, the Yellow Ki around Vegeta is part of Goku's Bakuhatsuha move. Goku traps his opponent in a Yellow Ki ball and force them to the air is which Goku starts throwing Ki waves at. At the end, Ki Ball will explode thus the name Bakuhatsu(Which mean explosion in JPN).
Nappa's Bakuhatsuha has been re-named to Giant Storm thanks to DBZ Budokai 3.
**Things to Note**
Under Super 17's Profile, two Attack names were listed that hasn't been shown and the attack names are Lightning Shower Rain and Dengeki Jigoku Dama(Electric Hell Ball), maybe these will Super 17's other Blast moves.
For the JPN version, when you buy the game, it comes w/ a Pen that is in shape of Hoi Poi Capsule.
