All Tenkaichi 3 Characters are the SAME!

All of the characters in Tenkaichi 3 play the same...expect when they don't. But they also sometimes do. But not always.
Anyway I still love this game and I hope Sparking Zero lives up to the hype.

I was about to write a big thing about how wrong you were after reading the title, but this is a very good explantion about how the game works and it's honestly very rare that people actually understand it. Talk about a catchy title too... Tenkaichi 2 was a much more complicated fighting game, 3 toned it down quite a bit, but I don't think that was done on purpose. We'll see what Sparking Zero brings and if it leans closer to BT2 or BT3.

[@tkm1875]

The title is still correct.😂 There's no actual character combos in this game. It's not a fighting game. They swap around the functions to trick you into thinking characters are individuals.

[@lorenzosp8566]

Yeah this, and the series, ain't a fighting game and most of the characters still do play mostly the same. It's not particularly different from the naruto games, they are just arena games (huge cast of characters all mostly playing the same with ""combos"" that even a toddler could do, 3d and all that)

@@lorenzosp8566 I think this comes down to a lack of understanding of how the game works. BT2 at least.

[@tinyparcel6305]

1:OP definitely just read the title and go heated. 2: the title is true if you look at the game at face value. The basic move set is standardized to have a huge roster and then each character is defined by their specials, size and actual lore. I think a good comparison for this are the Mishima's in tekken. They all have a standardized tool like 1,1,2 tsunami kick, electric and hell sweep; but the tools around that base are what defines the character. An even better example actually is Sol and Order Sol from accent core. They have almost the same normals, but they are applied differently Order Sols grab wall splats in the corner for example where as regular sols is a knock down. One tool for combos the other for oki set ups. Seems to me that tenkaichi 3 is a game designed around that, which is why it ain't for me. That being said it's interesting design and unique way to add depth.

[@Pretzel27]

Well tbf, only certain moves can be vanished so if you do a full rush string, flying kick, ki blast, dash ki blasts, or kiai cannon there is no way to get out of the combo as none of those moves can be vanished. On top of that, explosive waves can be countered by using dash ki blasts so if you get combined from behind your kinda screwed.

[@tkm1875]

WHO PLAYS THIS GAME COMPETITIVELY?! Where are the tournaments?! Tenkaichi is not competitively viable at all.😂 Me coming from the world of real fighting games, I played Tenkaichi 3 THROUGHLY and all the characters do play the same. They swap around functions during the second auto-combo to trick you into thinking characters are different but they aren't. I literally played this game to turn off my brain because it didn't require actual character study I needed in an actual competitive fighting game.

[@noobinator3699]

@tkm1875 ​​​​​​​​​​​You're telling me you played against the braindead bot while mashing square and the game didn't feel mentally stimulating??? However could this be the case?😱 Given the chance and patience to learn it, BT3 can be an incredibly interesting game with lots to learn. Characters have many differences and quirks to master and if you delve into the mechanics and tech, you'd notice how different they are. Ki blasts, Vortex dashes, Rush Reset Combos, Speed, Grab angles, Perfect smashes, blast 1s amongst many other things help to differentiate characters and allow them to play differently. There's also memorising a character's rush strings to learn their Z-counter timings, but that's a whole other thing. And yes, an arena fighter on the PS2 with 161 characters, developed over the course of 3< years is going to have less character variation than a modern 2D fighter with 40-something characters like DBFZ with it's multiple DLCs. But that isn't to say there isn't any depth at all, there is quite a lot of it infact, and there's a lot that I haven't touched up on too. Just because you don't know how to play this game and how the characters work doesn't mean there aren't people who _do,_ it just means you're bad, and that's alright, but don't try to act snarky about it on your high horse when you don't know what you're talking about.

Etc etc This game (series) specifically did so many things right it’s a cultural shift to be able to get another one this year

[@angrashadow2958]

It's always funny how fans of a particular DBZ game will so often accuse every other game in the franchise of having no depth and every character playing the exact same. FighterZ fans say that about Budokai, Tenkaichi and Xenoverse. Xenoverse fans say that about FighterZ, Tenkaichi and Budokai. Budokai fans say it about FighterZ, Tenkaichi and Xenoverse. Tenkaichi fans say it about Budokai, FighterZ and Xenoverse. And they are wrong each and every time. Yeah sure the depth and uniqueness of the characters vary and these games are not equal in all aspects, but what is true is that they all have their own skill ceiling required to compete with the best, and each offers a unique experience. Anyone who denies that is just an elitist who thinks they are superior to others just because they know how to press buttons in a certain way.

I feel as part two fixed this issue and then part three brings it back because they needed to get the game out real quick. Part two there's so many moves that are only shared by very little characters that make sense and unique moves that are only used by that character. Maybe you can argue that some of the abilities were similar but at least they were themed and named for the appropriate character instead of Goku punching the same exact way with four different character models.

Did you know that (i forgot exactly which base goku) goku can actually use the Destructo Disc ki blast just like Krillin? however only while jumping. that and I believe all sword characters like Dabura, Trunks, Tapion and even Yajirobe have the unblockable charged ki blast? Another thing about rush attacks, many many characters have extra combo animations after a step-in. Technically everyone has a basic 11 hit combo in BT3. A+A+A+A+A step in with dodge/dash+forward, then a direction (up down or neutral) then another 5 hit combo. which can also include rush chains as well

[@plutolxIx]

one of note is vegito. he will switch to his hard punches hits after a step in, SSJ4 Gogeta I believe switches to kicks when he does it as well

[@OrangeStarHighSchool]

A real champion

[@_jagger1407]

characters also have a different speed at which they charge attacks, someone like Tien can always chuck out low charged Kiai Cannons, but due to smth called Melee Momentum, SSJ4 Gogeta charges his Rushing Techniques too fast to be able to use low charged kiai cannons inside a combo. How much melee momentum you can build depends on the character. Other things include different counter stances (some have a Step-In counter, some don't), different counter types for these stances (some smash the opponent away, others use a Heavy Finish or Kiai Cannon), the amount of ki blasts you can throw before entering a cooldown (Vegeta can throw 10, Goku only 5), same goes for dashing and ascending variants, the length of the hitstun for charged ki blasts (some knock the opponent down, others give them a longer hitstun you can use as a combo link), obviously the follow-ups for each Rushing Technique (some have Heavy Crush, some have Delta Storm, some have both, some have neither) alongside Speed-based tech (some can semiflank after Flying Kicks, others can't) and Animation-basd tech (like RRCs, Rush Reset Combos) of course. all of a sudden, people saying "well the chars are the same cuz like same Supers and combos" sounds stupid, doesn't it?

[@OrangeStarHighSchool]

@@_jagger1407 this is a perfect explanation. Some character will literally do that light ki blast after two basic attacks then triangle, But some people like super android 13 and powered up garlic jr will stun hard even after a light tap, And most characters you’ll need to absolutely hold heavy attack triangle to get the full stun.
