When I was playing Budokai 3 alot last year I encountered this weird scenario where I would dash attack my opponent while they were performing a move and it would launch them straight downwards to the ground and it would pull me along. I was using teen gohan against a cell jr., and it was a dash kick.

Hola Dr Doppietta. Una pregunta tu que opinas del poco apoyo que tuvo Budokai 4 (Infinite World) en su dia? Practicamente salió al final de la vida de la PS2. Yo lo considero un gran juego y sucesor del B3, además de algunos cambios como quitar los Dragon Rush de la formula.

[@Dr._Doppietta]

Hi, Himura. I don't speak spanish, but I hope Google Translate did its job. lol Anyway, IW is mostly a "Budokai 3.5", with various aspects of the game left clearly unfinished (if not outright broken). I like it, I also like the removal of Hyper Mode and DragonRush, actually. NIM and I are currently working on DBZ Infinite World mod called *exactly* "Budokai 4", where we fix and complete the things left unfinished in the game.

The Broly string change is odd to me in hindsight after witnessing Z Broly in DBFZ, I thought his deal was doing short combos that deal big damage, which is why he doesn't have a traditional j2H like the rest of the cast.

The only thing I have noticed in the back days is the memory for the stage. I purchased CE after B3 Vanilla CD was Broken, and I was very sad because the game couldn't recognize the old save data .. I still remember I was stuck in a certain percentage in the shop like 94% .. Some breakthrough didn't appear in the shop. There is one point not sure of it, in B3 vanilla with 20 Ki points you spend 50% less ki (1.5 ki bar) for special moves, while you spend 33% less ki (2 ki Bar) in CE.

[@Dr._Doppietta]

As far as I know, special editions are capable of getting your B3 van data back. Idk why yours didn't do that.

[@gabrielcamiloanunciatodeol2566]

One thing that for some reason I've never seen anyone mention about budokai 3 is that, aside from the 4 versions shown in the video, there's actually one more, which is the leaked version, before the game came out there was a leaked version that was pirated a lot and was still unfinished and funnily enough, because I grew up as a poor little boy, all I had in my childhood was this broken version, the main differences I remember is the fucked up aspect ratio that caused the screen to be cropped wrongly on the screen all the time, the dragon arena being completely unfinished and glitched, whenever your character reached around lvl 70 it would become unplayable, the arena would glitch up and you wouldn't be able to fight any more opponents, they wouldn't appear to be selected and the screen would just be blank, and also some shenron wishes literally weren't programmed in the game, like the trunks costume one, so it was impossible to 100% this glitched version, for some reason I've never seen anyone mention this version, but its very much real and I grew up with it, I guess it's just very obscure, wish this channel made a video about it

[@Dr._Doppietta]

You prob just had a bad copy of the game, not a different version. Old PS2 cracked games used to be like that.

[@gabrielcamiloanunciatodeol2566]

@@Dr._Doppietta nope, well actually I'm not entirely sure, the thing is, I've had multiple budokai 3 copies throughout my childhood, multiple of them had these exact characteristics I've mentioned so I know it wasn't one bad copy or anything like that, and the reason why I said it is "the leaked version" it's because I remember searching about this a long long time ago and found a very detailed article in a old website describing this version, even describing the differences and it referenced to it as a "leaked version", and all the weird glitches were exactly the same as the ones I had so I know for a fact it isn't some defective copy, sadly I can't find that article anymore, but maybe it was just some bad ISO rip from the early years of the game's release, which caused the game to be glitched,or it was truly a pre-release leak that was pirated mistakenly, I'll guess I'll try to find more information on this again so I can finally understand it for once, but I'm sure it wasn't an unique experience to me
