thats probably my main complaint. BT3 had way more in game super moves . and it seems mainly Kamehameha users get them .

[@ZaxFSO8083]

In my opinion, the bad games they made were games they weren't familiar with properly making, like Jump Force or "New" Gundam Breaker

[@miqvPL]

because Raging Blast games were mediocre and I think they also made Ultimate Tenkaichi, probably the worst db game ever? Sparking Zero is still not as good as TB 2. 5+/10 I'd say considering how trash is the story mode, tracking and camera.

For the "What If" scenarios, some can be triggered depending on how you finish a certain fight, not just "dialogue" options (for example, if you manage to defeat Raditz as Goku, you'll go on an alternate path where Goku becomes Super Saiyan in his first battle with Great Ape Vegeta).

[@Metal-Spark]

Considering how successful this game has been in terms of pre-orders and reviews, I really hope they consider updating the cutscenes. I expected this to be the definitive DBZ game, and getting to re-experience the story in its full glory is 100% a part of that. At the very least, I'm hoping they learn from this for the inevitable sequel. Re-use of things like models should free up development time for working on the presentation too.

[@z3roninja565]

Wrong game for that my friend, this series has never been definitive in its execution of story mode. And kakarot is getting more DLC going into next year so it seems theyre still pushing it as the definitive story game.

[@nah1610]

I actually love the idea of the custom battle episode feature, I used to play the old Tenkaichi games and make up stories for why they were fighting, kind of like playing with action figures as a kid, lol. Absolutely agree with you in commending the game for not going the monetization and DLC path, this is the first fighting game in over ten years that felt like the roster is worth it at launch.

[@Justinoliver307]

awesome and great review, you coverd and mention stuff that other reviewers fail or lack to show or mention so far

[@BushBabyL]

Something to keep in mind regarding modern fighting games and having the roster available at once: Tournaments. Each IRL tournament needs multiple consoles running at once with the most up-to-date balance patch. If the tournament required save files that had to *clear challenges* to unlock every possible option, the organizers would resort to the out-of-box roster instead of wasting time. Nobody would sign up.

the glory days of ps2 dragonballs deep.

[@hankthemiltanktv1306]

Im gonna give an honest thought that i think will resonate with a lot of longtime players for this topic at 3:50. I think after playing the same exact story across every db game thats ever come out, players are chillin on watching the entire story again. The gameplay is what's important, and tbh the slideshow presentation is pretty sick and we all watched the anime/ read the manga/ played at least 10 db games where we sat tbrough the entire story so making it quick and concise is kinda nice, imo. I agree with you about super content, and where they add new cutscenes for what ifs they do both in game rendered cutscenes plus extra cutscenes with the sparking episode or whatever its called at the end of storylines. Its pretty good, I chose to do the goku black story first and really enjoyed those cutscenes. Thats my favorite super arc and i think they did a wonderful job with his story episode. I also think separating everyones individual fights and POVs into their own personal story episodes is a great way to do it. You wanna just play all the piccolo fights in the series cus hes your favorite, here ya go. How bout furiza, here ya go. You even get a little saucy cutscene or 2 or 3+ for beating a hard fight and getting the alternate endings. I like it, i like it a lot. Grew up on budokai 1/2/3 and tenkaichi 1/2/3, even some of the gba games like the legacy of gokus. This game is gonna be my new main for a while and im had o much fun getting cooked in the goku black story until i caught some big zenkais and was able to full clear it. Going back the goku story its a piece of cake. The furiza story was super fun, made me want to try his first form in ranked. Ranked dp is so good, love all the close matches and rematches. Time to feast gentlemen. The new heat is here, and here to stay. 🫡

[@hankthemiltanktv1306]

Just an example of what I mean, during the furiza story when Goku switches out and kuririn, Gohan, piccolo switch in for him we all know it's cus he has to charge the spirit bomb. We don't need a fully animated cutscene for it, and saving that budget for the gameplay is a W imo. Also I think it's sick to communicate narrative through gameplay and dialogue in game. The story episode dialogues while you fight are meaty juicy

[@hankthemiltanktv1306]

Also my mains are undecided right now I'm running Vegito base, adult Gohan base, z trunks base, in dp ranked until I unlock Goku black tonight (player level 19 and .999999999, btw he shows up in the shop with merged zamasu when u hit 20) and when I get him I'll change my team up not sure if I'll keep Vegito the cost is high so I'll experiment some more

[@TheSmurray39]

I wish the story mode was fully connected with different branching paths instead of being split into different character/

[@ameliamiller450]

So far my only true complaint is that for timed alternate scenarios it won't tell me how long that timer is. I've used a stopwatch a couple of times to figure it out but it takes awhile to get back into the fight if you get the wrong clear condition

[@presixnine]

Yeah that's my issue as well, like sometimes if we don't win on certain time we either get a scripted win or another ending entirely instead of our desired ending. So sometimes I just pay attention to the dialogue presented on screen, to see whether I'll make it or not.

I’m not a huge fighting game fan and typically don’t ever get very good at them because they don’t interest me enough to put the time in to get good. So far I have been OBSESSED with this game! It’s the first fighting game that’s really grabbed me enough to put in the practice time and reps to actually become decent at it. The fights are so cinematic whether it’s offline or online it’s like I’m watching the anime. Even my girlfriend has been hooked and much like myself she never really picks up fighting games (other than smash bros) this will be a game that I put endless hours into. It was definitely well worth the wait in my opinion.

[@Eliterubberduck]

I've been playing with Japanese audio and the lip syncing is surprisingly perfect. Impressively so, even with the Great Apes and such. You'd imagine it'd look goofy but it actually sells it really well. It must be one of those things where they completely ignored the English lip sync and just left the Japanese animations.

[@fat-gotenks]

There’s a big Super Saiyan cinematic in a what-if story branch. Same with a Raditz scene so I’m assuming it’s that way for other big ones. That + the cinematics of the gameplay and super abilities are perfect enough for me

[@77dead]

Honestly, as someone who was a fan of the old games. I wish they would have had much less characters unlocked. I would also like tournament modes to be bigger, instead of 8 being the max amount I would want at least 32 like the old games. I also hope they fix the AI. In some matches they go Ultra instinct and counter and dodge ecerything. I also don't like that the throw button is the same as the dash. In regards to custom battles I wouldn't have minded if that was cut, and instead they would have focused more on the story. In regards to what ifs, I prefer how in Tenkaichi 3 all they would do is make it harder instead of putting you on an invisible timer. For example when you play against Radditz you're supposed to lose to move forward, but by simply winning you automatically get the what if. Sorry for such a long comment but I really was hyped for two years. I'm having tons of fun still but I set my expectations way to high.

[@kjo2130]

I was kinda upset at them skipping the U6 vs U7 tournament. That was surprising.

[@big_grinn1628]

I 110% agree with these pov of the game. Trying to enjoy those epic moments outside of the ring in sparking zero just isn’t gonna happen and the what ifs are like worse versions of the raging blast 2 trials n stuff. Something I would like to add to the more negative side of the light is the menu ui. It’s very sturrery for a modern game, especially when it’s like 4 pages u gotta go thru at least to find what ur looking for. I like the old style ofc but I just wish it worked a bit smoother than what it currently is.

[@Cautious_Gamer]

Sparking Zero is the GOAT of DBZ arena fighters. I played it for almost 20 hours straight and barely scratched the surface of the games content. Tenkaichi 3 (TeamBT4 version) has been dethroned. All I want now is Bora, Trunks Bojack costume and missing Raging Blast 2 characters such as Pikkon, Hatchiyack and Tarble. Tarble vs Cabba has to happen in Sparking Zero. Hatchiyack vs Broly (Super) too.

Ive not played a ton of the game but it’s pretty good. What I do find odd is that there are scenes in the story mode that aren’t voiced. Why isn’t the narrator doing those lines? I also find it odd which characters are locked and which ones aren’t. Why is Videl locked but both Z and Super versions of Frieza aren’t? And what’s up with the character layout? Why is Spopovich four or five rows down from Babidi and Dabura and why are they four or five rows down from the Buus? Two months later and after I had put 60 hours into it I did enjoy it a lot. My biggest issue, other than the the presentation for the story mode is the story mode itself. Why does Vegetas only goes up to Buu? Why did we need Goku Black and Jiren’s story modes when they’re the same fights we’ve already seen but from the other side? Why weren’t the movies and GT included in the story mode?

The one thing that confuses me is they obviously have the license to use the characters in the music and everything else why don't they just rip the dub dialogue straight from the anime and put it into certain scenes. Play the voice actors a royalty and move on when it comes to stuff like that record whatever new you need to have but they could have still added a lot of stuff without having to do any extra programming.

I'm a little bit disappointed that there's no Bardock story mode. That, and I was hoping we'd get more Supers. Like if I remember correctly didn't Raging blast give you more than 3 and let you swap them around almost like xenoverse or kakarot?

[@sharkdaddi]

I'm not gonna lie this is such a perfect next next next generation of BT3! They really brought all the things i love about BT3 to the a modern look and feel its so good and child me is so happy. Thanks matty for all the coverage on your channels!

If you grew up on Tenkaichi like me then you had an out of body experience when you played your first match.

[@LuminusObscurum]

I bought the early access. I haven't played it yet but I'm super excited to play with some of the characters from DB Super.

[@cwolfxuk-other]

Not even touched the stories yet, been having a blast with the Tournaments!

[@NileshRamphal]

They need to add an option to turn off that super moves list it’s extremely annoying especially in split screen

[@gamingchimp3947]

do you actually understand how the custom battles work? did you try to create one? they are an amazing addition, it's like parallel quests of XV on steroids! and being able to create them means you can always get more and creating them is a very fun time sink on its own also you didn't even mention the tournaments in the video

I’m loving the game so much I plan to have my own little review of it once I’m finished with it at least for the pc version

[@outsidewithquad8123]

I lost my love for gaming during the PS4 era. Everything I played except for a very small few were boring & had me falling asleep. Fighterz was okay but after 30 mins I turned on mortal kombat or a retro 2D fighter. Jumpforce pissed me off with the shared health bar & DBZ Kakarot combat was just so simple uninteresting I preferred to fly around & view the aesthetic of the landscape instead of doing missions. This game though! I love it. Finally a complex combat system that I actually have to learn instead of pushing square over & over. Characters! A shit ton so I can’t get bored and play with the same ones. And lastly long matches. I love a good deep fight that feels like tug of war and I to feel like I barely won. This is what DBZ is about. Pushing a player to their limits. Training & learning new techniques just like the characters. They did such a great job with this game.

[@Lost_Kappa]

Only DBZ games I’ve bought, Legacy of Goku, Dragonball GT transformation, budakai tenkaichi 3 and fighterz

[@Chronocrits]

I’ve been playing Kakarot for the first time while waiting for this, and now that I have both of them sort of… alternating, I’m in Dragon Ball heaven. I go to Kakarot for the iconic story and amazing presentation, and I go to Sparking for the fights. It’s perfect as a game combo.

[@ofofty]

i didn’t but into early access, but i’ll definitely be on when it comes out my main choices are all over the place, but im definitely feeling trunks, kid goku, or db roshi

[@anotherslowtown9601]

to be honest im just excited for free battle. looking forward to making up my own little stories as i just play matches against the cpu. so when i see people voice their opinions about the story being lacklustre it luckily doesn't bother me personally. i've never played db games for their stories.

[@Tharealljayy]

10:11 i disagree thats what separates the skill this fighting game is more a judgement of mechanics than anything else nice vid as always brother
