Yess I most liked to play dbzbt3 since I was 4 years old ❤❤❤❤

[@WolvesNest]

Honestly, it's one of the ones you skipped. DBZ: Legend of the Super Saiyan for the Super Famicom is pretty fun once you learn the mechanics. The game having the zenkai boost just built in for the Saiyan characters and being able to break the story by having characters survive to make a what-if continuation of the story was really cool. Only real problem I remember is the encounter rate and the potential to get lost in areas.

I just gotta say, Budokai 3's combo system is actually really deep! You can cancel every charged move in the game, and every character has a fascinating moveset so you can actually keep hitting those combos when cancelling. It really does become a whole different game once you adapt to this playstyle, one of the best DBZ fighting games for sure

[@SSJSonikku]

Understandably most people that aren't serious into the games would not know the deeper aspects of the Budokai series. When people talk about the Budokai series and are not well versed in the system, it disappoints me. The Combo system is one of them. The system had been in place from the very beginning. It only got better with each installment. Just an example, but you could do something like this with Goku in Budokai 3: - = cancel * = stun ~ = cancel and side step ^ = Juggle p k e = non charge P K E = charge >pkK~ >k* kkkK-

[@chugsomeheckingparmesanche6004]

both of your comments heal my soul, I hate when casual players talk about a system they know next to nothing about

[@sketchywest1176]

Yeah, the movelist just tells you what combos go into super moves, not your actual punches and kicks. Blew my mind as a kid when I discovered Kid Goku uses the Power Pole in some of his combos, and that you can get Vegito to do his kick combo with his arms folded.

[@DBZAOTA482]

The game never gave you any real incentive to get better, so a lot of the more advanced mechanics largely remained obscure over the years, but the community is still devoted and there's still new tech being discovered.

Extreme Butoden was so underrated. At some point after the One Piece fighter came out, they actually out out an update that allowed you to play online against one another. So if you were playing Extreme Butoden online, you could also play against people playing One Piece online.

[@tenworms]

I found out about that from the Guile Win Quote video not too long ago. What a super cool thing, you'd think it'd be way more discussed than it is.

[@SorcererLance]

Huh... No mention of Supersonic Warriors? One was on the GBA and its sequel was on the DS... Basically a 2D version of the Budokai Tenkaichi games which were really fun (though I liked how long the matches lasted in the first game, the second had the life bars go down way too quickly to savor the matches). What's more, Arc System Works made them, so they didn't just come out of nowhere for Extreme Butoden on the 3DS. This is kinda made apparent since Supersonic Warriors 2 started the whole switching characters/assists on the touch screen and one or two songs introduced in SSW2 being brought back in Extreme Butoden.

[@chesspunk489]

In Supersonic Warriors 2 you can change how fast the life bar goes down in the options.

[@betacase07]

Attack of the Saiyens did have a super Saiyen. If you collect the dragon balls and ask for a challenge, you fight Broly. You get his necklace which almost max out your stats.

[@L-kun]

FunFact - Azumanga Donjyara Daioh had a phyiscal release; like, not just the PS1 disc, but an actual game board and character themed tiles.

[@HolyHadou]

I'm pretty sure in Japan there was functionality to combine Extreme Butoden with the One Piece 3DS game and have people play multiplayer against one another using both versions of the game. Someone else on KZbin had a whole video about it. Also Dragon Ball FighterZ was probably the most successful main stream Anime Fighter that was FGC embraced until the lack of rollback led to issues and when Rollback was finally officially added this past month, it still had bugs and issues that pissed people off and essentially left the game dead. The devs said they'll have an update on a fix later in April but they also sai Also also I think Broly is a secret boss in Attack of the Saiyans. I'm 70% sure so there is a Super Saiyan in there.

[@glubritz]

It's always nice to see Fusions highlighted. It's been one of my go-to games to play whenever I'm just. Feeling down and don't know /what/ to play. I'd start over, make a new oc (or just make one of the few characters not in the main game) and play through the whole story and the ridiculously good post-game. Just recently I did a challenge run where I don't use any of the fusions. Y'know, the game's main mechanic. The game has so much loving detail put into it's weird, wonderful pokemon-like fun that it truly never gets old for me.

[@shecklesmack9563]

It’s absolutely staggering how many Dragon Ball games there have been. I first went down the emulation rabbit hole in around 2000 because options were limited in the pre-Budokai 1 days, yet even back then there was an insane amount of Japanese releases and fan translations.

[@amirgarcia547]

Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was a ton of fun due to basically being a greatest hits of every character across the franchise and duking them out against eachother, no matter how irrelevant or small. And I can’t wait to see that continued with Sparking Zero, and this time with Super characters to boot! Of course, DB FighterZ is what I consider to be flat-out the best DBZ game to how fun and epic it is, along with having tons of crazy tech but being simple enough for anyone to pick up. And I do have plenty of fond memories with the Legacy of Goku and Dragon Ball Origins games due to being the closest to Dragon Ball RPGs. While DBZ Kakarot tried to do something similar, it kinda just felt like a free-roaming version of Xenoverse, and so it sädly didn’t really scratch that same itch for me. It’s at least leagues better than DBZ Sagas though, which tried that same formula much earlier but nowhere near as good, and was the first console DBZ game I played on my OG Xbox due to being the first DBZ game released for it. Talk about a bad first impression… Also RIP Toriyama-sensei, you will be sorely missed.🙏🏽

[@onthedre]

Burst Limit is amazing. Most people don't talk about it because DBZ Games without the Buu Saga is criminal, especially after Tenkaichi 3 did regular Dragon Ball and GT, but Burst Limit's style is the best in the series. Probably even better than FighterZ since it actually tries to be unique and more flavorful rather than trying to just being a cutout of the Manga art, which, while impressive, isn't visually striking or unique.

[@Leahcimmichael]

Burst Limit had my favourite presentation

[@_jagger1407]

talking about Fighting Games and then saying Budokai 3s combo system is lacking because all he was able to use is an easily punishable combo is hilarious. Combo cancels aside, you don't even need those to see the complexity of Budokai 3s system, wakeup options, chargeable attacks that grant superarmor and break guard, countless char specific strings to use, i-frames of transformations, just because you used PPPPE the whole game doesn't mean that's all there is to it. Then going to Tenkaichi and mentioning not a single gameplay mechanic that actually makes it such a good game, or mention its depth relative to other games, or mention anything besides the camera is also hilarious. It's not the camera that makes Tenkaichi an arena fighter, it's the free movement and gameplay focus on positioning that achieves that. Shin Budokai for the PSP also had an option to put the camera behind the character yet the gameplay was still like Budokai. Saying "BT3 is fun because big roster" is completely disregarding its gameplay qualities that make those chars fun to play. After all, when you ask people what the best racing game is, they don't say "obviously Gran Turismo 6 because it has the most cars", there's a bit more to it than that.

Fave DB Games: Advanced Adventure Legacy of Goku 2 + Buu's Fury Hyper Dragon Ball Z (greatest MUGEN game of all time) Shoutouts to Super Dragon Ball Z which I haven't played that much of but I love watching good players play it, and DB Origins which I didn't finish because my DS shit itself but I did really enjoy most of what I played, even if it felt a little bit unnecessarily padded.

You felt the emotion the energy that music brought to the show, the original music had no real feel just was kind of there. Faulconers score made me feel like I could train and save the world, like I was part of something greater than myself. And even the songs not by Faulconer but on the soundtrack were better than the original, and here's the proof most shows hit the credits and you usually change the channel switch to something else but not when Rock the Dragon came on, yeah hits differently didn't it, made you happy, and you sat there until the whole song was over, never underestimate the power of music it unlocks a whole new level of emotions.

[@JReaLBiz86]

Okay, this story is kinda wild. I first learned about emulation at around 12-13 years old... at a tennis camp... in Baltimore, MD. There was a kid there who... let's say... was free-spirited. We got on the conversation of DBZ, and he told me about a game he played that was amazing. It ended up being one of the Super Butodens. I had only played GT Final Bout up til then, but I was able to hang out with him after camp one day and play some Sup But. I was sold on it. Then, and AGAIN at 12-13 years old... I learned how to find, download, and use a SNES emulator so that I could play the game at home, since I had recently gotten my own PC. Oh, the viruses. Thank God for McAfee. Anyway, in hindsight that game wasn't one of the best DB games available, but it was integral to my early life and love for anime and console fighters.

[@Tinil0]

I have great memories in the early 2000s of playing Super Saiya Densetsu (One of the card battling RPGs you mentioned) on ZSNES without it being translated and trying to guess or use knowledge of the series to figure out what to do. And yes, Hyper Dimension was great too.
