Technically, Xenoverse 2 has the most variable "character" of all: The Future Warrior/Time Patroller. While not a preset character, you can create and fight as specific races. The game recognizes these as distinct fighting classes:

  1. Earthling (Male/Female): Balanced with Ki regen.
  2. Saiyan (Male/Female): Low health, high damage, multiple transformations (Super Saiyan 1-3, Super Vegeta, Super Saiyan Blue, Super Saiyan God).
  3. Namekian: Health regen and stretchy limbs.
  4. Majin (Male/Female): High health (Male) or high stamina/speed (Female).
  5. Frieza Race: Fast movement speed and "Turn Golden" transformation.
  6. Universe 6 Namekian (Same model, different stats - introduced via patch).

Each of these "Heroes" has access to exclusive ultimate attacks, making them de facto unique characters on the roster.
