@@EternalStorm796 Thats YOU and maybe because you weren’t into it. But I’m not here to debate about an opinion. I’ve played all the way from Budokai 2-BT3. Skipped everything after except Burst Limit/Infinite World/ShinBudokai. And it’s the button commands on XV2 almost mirror BT3 not to mention it was 3d. Even the attack where you fly around and behind your opponent is a move from bt3 The amount of similarities are unmistakable which is why many people have this opinion as well as new players saying that “Sparking looks like it plays like Xenoverse” How funny. Little do they know

DBZ Kakarot is the most cinematic but obviously it's a story only game with no Multiplayer/PvP etc so it makes sense. Obviously for an actually PvP based 3D Dragon Ball game, Sparking Zero is light years ahead from everything else. It's almost as cinematic as Kakarot while being a PvP style game. Truly next gen 🔥🔥🔥

@TreyGodi9 ай бұрын
Im glad you did this video. Each game is its own arena game. We may fly around, transform, fight and throw ki moves in each game. But the underlying mechanics is what truly makes each one unique aside its graphics and audio presentations. Xenoverse & Kakarot both have boss battle like mechanics. While Tenkaichi allows you to actually be the Bosses. Such as Ozzaru's. Hirudegarn, Janemba. Xenoverse has no beam battles. No beam Deflection, while Tenkaichi finally has that from Raging Blast. And Kakarot also has it. Transformations is probably the biggest difference between all 3 games. As Tenkaichi our moveset actually matters more based off what form our character is. While Kakarot & Xenoverse transformations is more of just a power up, i do believe Kakarot surge mode is different for each form as well. But both Kakarot and Xenoverse allows us the ability to customize our moves. Tenkaichi never allowed move Customization that was its little Brother Raging Blast which allowed us the ability to do that. Stamina is something unique to Xenoverse as well. Kakarot & Tenkaichi do not have that in their hub. But like i said earlier its the mechanics of each game that makes things stand out.
@EternalStorm7969 ай бұрын
To be fair, XV had stamina separate, while BT had it integrated with ki.
@TreyGodi9 ай бұрын
@@EternalStorm796 it didn't function the same as it does in Xenoverse though. Xenoverse leaves you in that helpless state until your stamina recovers again. Raging Blast had something like that as well but you had to button mash your way bacc to recovery. Tenkaichi doesn't necessarily have that exact functionality. But in the sense of what's needed to be able to teleport or not is similar. As if your stamina is low you won't be evading anything in Xenoverse. Same with Tenkaichi if your ki is low you can't evade. But you won't be punished for trying to defend with low ki in Tenkaichi like you would be punished for it in Xenoverse to end up in that helpless state of that makes sense.
