Game is a 10/10 don't get me wrong, the only actual issues I have are that they only give you 45 seconds max to choose up to 5 characters (gets extra tough with the Point system) so you might just get hoed and have less characters. The other one is that you're not able to choose the order of fights/fighters in custom tournaments so if you wanna have a mix of real players and CPU's you can't have ur friends all fight bots till later rounds unless you get lucky with the computer deciding the matchups. Besides those, the game is damn near perfect can't wait for it to fully drop for everyone who's waiting on it🙏

[@RGM5396]

Honestly I’m a bit disappointed with the game. The way the hits are, it makes it a little harder to tell when you successfully pull of certain actions. In BT3 the unique sounds and animations of z-bursts and vanish counters made it very easy to tell what’s happening in a good way. Also I absolutely hate the new character select menu and main menu. Yes it looks more stylish but it’s hella annoying to use. I feel like I’m pressing hella inputs to access a menu that they could have just put in one list. BT3 also had a better character selection and customization screen that made it easier to find the characters you want. Yes sparking zero has filters but it’s just annoying as hell to sift through all those characters when they could have just put the forms behind the base form character like how BT3 did. Also why aren’t the stats displayed on the character select??!! That would make the game so much better than having to constantly enter the customize screen to see stats. Also biggest disappointment they removed the max power combos like bt3 had where you got stylish finishers added to attacks when in max power. Now in order to do them you have to actually use the super regularly in a combo and it takes you out of max power. 🤦🏽‍♂️ 5.) Lord Jesus don’t get me started on the trash tutorial mode. Luckily I played BT3 so I know most of the stuff. But you could fully master this tutorial and still be absolutely trash at the game. Also why do I have to queue every individual action?? Just make an offense, defense, ki, supers, impact clashes tutorial. Not separate tutorials for every action, tf? Also it’s 2024 they could have easily made a better tutorial then this that explains the chain combos, combo extenders, and overall gameplay loop better.

[@divinexp4198]

I agree, but nonetheless we have bt4 . Hopefully they listen to the feedback and make changes.

[@asp2410]

Oh, they removed exclusive max power moves from combo? Man, i loved those! No wonder i didn't see anyone use it yet.. damn it. Everything else you posted I'm fine with, but extra combo finisher in max is where i draw the line... Also, i think Sonic sway has sound to it when activated, dont know about other combos.. though i don't remember if every vanish combo had one

Split screen mode was not originally part of the game but was made because of the demand of the player base after first review and the dev were kind enough to give it to us in just a few months.

@jonpjudge oh and ability options can be turned on or off. Ability reflect options.

[@riaali9429]

That's good I was hoping they did something to at least try to balance the game online. Hopefully there's room for fun and a little competitiveness that doesn't mean just pulling out crack characters from super. that'd be lame

[@doctorsokka6816]

@@riaali9429 There's a mix of both honesty

[@Powerman167]

This is a must buy for a dragon ball fan ❤❤😊.And man I remember playing budukai Tenkaichi 3 with my brother back in the days on PS2. (Rest in peace Akira toriyama)❤❤❤

[@Sotrum34]

Dragon Ball Z: Sparking Zero! returning & Falcon telling about it in a "Before you Buy" video is a literal dream.

[@starvinmarvin2130]

The points of repeated dialogue is just not anything it happens in any game The versus mode being in the time chamber is because the game would lose the visual and cinematic aspect of it Were it done the way you want Lets just appreciate that the devs even bothered to listen to fans The balancing was talked about during development so it shouldn't come as a surprise as its not meant to be in the competitive scene like Street fighter or even Fighter Z

[@carlmuir6880]

It's like the DBZ world is forgetting about 8 recent years of identical gameplay in Xenoverse games?.......

[@riaali9429]

To be fair this particular series hasn't been out in a long time. No other dbz title would get attention like this one. It's not the same as the more recent games.

[@chives916]

I’ll get this game next month for $20 on Black Friday

[@ericmontiel1468]

As the youngest of 3 brothers, we liked the Time chamber stage because there was nothing. You couldn't hide 😂 weave nation or die, fun times

[@X_CROTO666]

Funny to watch that a lot of the comments are after you buy myself included

[@spacewarhouse]

We don't want to know your opinion. It's nostalgia, you can't understand that, you must be a child bor in 2010 For us, it's nostalgia. We've been waiting for this game for 17 years. Don't worry We're all going to buy it no matter what edition it's a cult game. Akira Toryama RIP you're not here to see that❤😢

[@BlargMan100]

transformations mid-game aren't just there to be cool. You get rewarded for transformations in game, you do more damage and get a speed boost. Its been that way in previous entries as i remember it.

[@TheSMSpider]

I played it for 7.5 hours day one, you like dragon ball. Buy it. Don’t question it.

[@libralynx98]

Bought it last night and honestly whatever you say here I could never be disappointed. The game is amazing

[@beaumas]

Its been quite a while since i was this pumped for a game release, and as someone who spent many hours playing the originals im stoked they have kept to the script and given the fans the game they deserve.

[@ColdKiller_141]

This will be my first tenkaichi, only ever played budokai 2 and 3 on ps2 and was too young to understand how to unlock more characters

[@marcthegod9990]

Got it monday and already have 20 hours in it. We are so fucking back boys

[@GojieeTV]

I don’t recall the old games having Splitscreen multiplayer.. As I recall, the camera stayed centered on both players & would zoom out as distance between increased from another. Would be a nice implementation to access more maps

[@omni_x_dragon]

11:00 I think it's a call back to offline BT3 days. Hyperbolic Time Chamber was the most selected stage for my family. It was the closest to a "fair" map for trying to play seriously. We picked it like 99% of the time.

[@Ali__C]

had this pre-ordered and damn this game is nice, there is a bit of a curve on the combat to adjust to, but loving this so far

[@Zoddnosferatueurope]

You can keep your opinion, we don't need it.

[@stalz2367]

How can I tell him I already bought it.. Edit:that great ape vegeta made me suffer

[@CajinVaren]

Captan jinyu and the saba men 💀

[@Zoddnosferatueurope]

You can keep your opinion, we don't need it. You're not going to surf on our nostalgia. We've been waiting for this game for 17 years, we're like little kid who were eager to come home to play. I'm sure you're a child born in 2012 You can't understand what we feel you're not like us. You're just a view hunter. We'll all buy it don't worry with or without your opinion. Akira Toyama rest in peace and thank you for the universe 😢❤

[@tasenova2717]

2:00 He's really enjoying himself, and feeling like old times with this game 😂

[@doogerw2675]

I remember when that 1st teaser dropped. Thought we were getting a collection of the older games. When they showed off SSJ blue Goku with the new graphics I almost cried

[@AhanafIqbal-v3z]

My best friend and I took sick days at work just to play this and feel like a kid again . This game is the best anime fighting game I’ve played

[@jonstrait3868]

That old-school unlockable sounds soooooo nice. Reminds me of halo 3 days where you could only get the cool helmets the more you played and the better you did. God I miss that.

[@WHZGRAVY]

Ive been playing ranked and although Goku is used alot Ive even been beating Vegitos with my team of Vegeta, Cabba, and Z broly

[@xbon1]

OBJECTION there's 8 different character stories. beating gokus full story will unlock them all.
