What's the best Tenkaichi game? Do you think Sparking! Zero will unseat it?

[@holty1314]

Tenkaichi 3, the definitive dragon ball experience. Playing with friends picking from so many characters from the series and recreating fights, fun times! Now with more crisp graphics, a larger roster and more smooth controls (not using a Wii remote) Sparking Zero can be the best

[@vivienjoly7617]

Tenkaichi 3 is the best for me

[@michaeltran4275]

3 equals the ultimate beast prior to the Sparking Zero

[@K0jim0ji]

you "play" cpu vs cpu to place bets on the fights, its a ton of fun - we had a whole event for a cpu wwe tournament, 10/10

[@Niosai]

That's actually kind of a fun use case, huh?

[@NIKEONXX]

Litteraly, love watching Bob lennon's (French content creator/streamer) Torneo de Poder. It's a Tournament of Power but on a crazy modded BT3. It's really really funny 😂

[@TheTrueChuster]

The precursor for SaltyBets.

[@sirmanguydude2383]

​@@NiosaiMy Friends and I use it to make a March Madness bracket. We assign characters to teams based on their seed number.

[@gamerb0y135]

Yes i did this

[@ghostlord656]

When I was a kid, I used CPU vs CPU to roleplay like my own tournaments, because I wanted them to be as “fair” and balanced as possible. Cuz if I played vs the CPU, I’d always win. So I wanted to be like “who would win between Gogeta vs Vegito” in the most “realistic” way possible. So it was basically my own little DBZ what if simulator. I still fire up CPU only matches in modern games from time to time to scratch that old itch when I’m bored. Like I wanna watch some fighting game matches but the comp players only ever pick the top tiers, so maybe I wanna see something different for once.

[@Niosai]

So what you're saying is that the Hercule v Hercule matchup is an actual use case here 😂

[@Thatguyyoudontknow594]

Same you are not crazy not so much now that im grown but yeah

[@masterchanakinskywalker5335]

BROOOOO! My brother and I started playing Tenkaichi 3 again and have been talking about doing another CPU vs CPU tournament for old time's sake. We used to create a massive tournament where each "team" drafted a character and then it went on to the next pick, almost like the NFL draft. And then we'd have the teams fight against each other and see who wins the tournament. So you'd end up with like... Hirudegarn, Goku, Cooler, and Kid Trunks vs Super 17, Vegito, Piccolo, and Great Ape Bardock as the final round or something like that. 😂We wrote them out on a Cincinnati Bengals paper pad cube in tony writing and crossed out the losers... oh yeah this is the best DBZ game imo. So fun being mindless losers back in the day. Lets do it again every now and then, yeah? 🤣

[@marshal96mathers58]

Broo who won between Vegito and Gogeta? 😄😄

[@SteelandSouls]

Totally Accurate Saiyan Simulator

[@Top_Lad]

Regarding the COM vs COM fights and who they are for: me and my little brother used to put on COM vs COM battles in the Tenkaichi games and sit back and eat snacks and watch them like they were a TV show or something. We even made our own tournaments and alternate histories where he would pick a fighter and I would make a bracket of fighters for his COM to fight and if he won all I'd own him some candy or we would start with the Raditz saga and let the coms battle and create a random alternate history like this. We of course finished the games as well but yeah, better, simpler and more precious times 😊

[@nonstoppkFred]

That’s damn sweet mate

[@RobeBLB]

Actually, Kenji Yamamoto was NOT responsible for Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3. In fact, they grabbed music from those games to replace plagiarized music in the Budokai HD collection and Raging Blast. One name that comes to mind when thinking of these game's composers is Takanori Arima who I'm pretty sure is still working on DB games to this day.

[@Niosai]

Oh wow, you're right! I think I got my wires crossed with Raging Blast 2, which I distinctly remember getting an update to replace it's music after launch.

[@michaeltran4275]

@@NiosaiYamamoto also offers the plagiarized music for Dragon Ball Z Kai AKA Dragon Ball Kai during the time of the Vegeta up to the middle of Cell Saga’s climax (Kai Episodes 1 up to 95) while airing in Japan

[@TerraFuu]

Was just about to type this.

[@akxareth]

Yeah, Takanori Arima primarily worked on Tenkaichi 2, while Toshiyuki Kishi worked on Tenkaichi 3, Tag Team and Raging Blast 1. Both composers have been on multiple Dragon Ball games ever since, Including FighterZ

I'm going kkk look k😊okko😊 kk kkkokkkkkokk😊okkkkk😊kokkik​@@Niosai

[@supersaiyanmikito]

Something to add on in regards to BT3's story mode, there are a lot of hidden What If senarios beyond the What-If Saga if you win or lose specific fights in specific ways. Many people have probably encountered as least one of these but there are a shocking amount of them. You can have Roshi beat Broly if Goku falls and again in GT where Pan takes over when SS4 Goku loses to Baby. You can have Goku beat Majin Vegeta which will cause him to go and beat Dabura. If Majin Vegeta beats Buu, he will go on to fight Babidi. Probably the most bizzare, if you beat King Piccolo without using all the button prompts, Tamborine suddenly comes back to life and then Chichi shows up to kill him.

[@Firebrand128]

Has anyone else noticed that both Budokai 3 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3's opening feature Gogeta fighting Broly years before ot would become canon? Talk about prophetic.

[@Niosai]

I never made that connection, that's pretty neat!

[@coffinfeeder7732]

I’m almost certain those cinematics were the seeds that grew into the concept behind DBS: Broly and the overwhelmingly positive fan response. Ever since the days of Budokai Tenkaichi being the peak of DBZ’s zeitgeist in North America (since the show’s run had ended and the last couple of movies were slowly making their way here) people have been salivating over seeing Gogeta vs Broly, the GOATs of DBZ heavy hitters, fighting in an animated form.

[@LAZY-RUBY]

33:12 To this day I do not understand how any one can look at 3's streamlined, events-mid-battle story and think, "Nah I liked it better in 2 when every Saga was padded out to 30 fights and made me sit through six loading screens per battle."

[@deedeedee5866]

For the scripted fights in dragon history mode if you just don't follow the script and win with your own skills or specific characters you get character specific dialogues that you don't see anywhere else after winning with them which is honestly a plus imo.

[@Breezyy_YT]

Raging Blast 1 Tournament mode has a single player vs CPU. just press triangle, it tells you at the bottom and it fills the tournament with random characters.

[@tylerhassey5210]

2 was definitely my most played one, when I was a kid that’s the only one I had and my god I probably 100% the game 2-3 times, I remember doing all the “what if” scenarios, getting every wish from shenron, unlocking every character and stage…must’ve spent hundreds of hours on this when I was a kid Edit: I take that back, I actually remember begging my mom to take me to GameStop to get 3 and played the shit out of that one too, it’s probably been like 15 years so kinda got them mixed together in my head

[@TheNikolasC]

Yeah i'm ngl, I always hated BT1. Not being able to transform in-game always really got under my skin, and it instantly made me drop it once finding that out as a kid

[@razerblaze070]

never played BT1, but i can see why this would suck ALOT considering transforming mid fight is half the battle.

[@JoaoVictor-hn8ht]

I remember the day I've played BT1 for the first time. It was at my birthday party, and as far as I remember, the disc actually belong to one of my friends. I think none of us had played the original Budokai prior to that, but we sure as hell played A LOT of Final Bout on PS1 couple years earlier. Me and friends did no other thing at the party but play BT, and holy shit everyone loved. Obviously it became clear after BT2 came out that BT1 was pretty much a prototype, but in 2004? Playing a fighting game like that was really novel and exciting, no one complained. The peak came at BT3, where I inadvertently bought the japanese version (Sparking Meteor) and was BLOWN AWAY to know that it had the original soundtrack of the anime (the Kikuchi score). Not only it made everything 10 times more incredible to play, but the added characters were a dream come true to me. My favorite character to play as in Final Bout was always Kid Goku (GT) Super Saiyan, and they finally added him in BT3. Such cool memories. I really hope Sparking Zero lives up to the hype.

[@gardevoirtrainer4526]

I love CPU vs CPU in fighting games. I use it a lot when I'm tired and don't feel like playing, but still want to watch a match.

[@Tasuke]

Fun watch! I preferred the Budokai games, but the Tenkaichi/Sparking games grew on me over time. I'm looking forward to Sparking Zero! Rest in peace, Toriyama.

[@Goku-fn3qd]

lol it’s literally the otherway around for me. I didn’t see what people saw in Budokai but I’m beginning to like it more

[@suuslime3908]

I think some people from 4chan used to run a tournament for CPU x CPU matches they would stream on twitch.

[@n.henzler50]

Way back in the day, they used to do stuff like that on the GameFAQs forums. I would lurk every so often and it was a pretty good time.

[@TheGreatOne93]

​@@n.henzler50I used to be heavy in those CPU vs CPU Custom tournaments on GameFaqs. Those were good times and good fun

[@hildagrauls5138]

I was one of them TomeBazz_SS_Y2k😂😂❤

[@KingdomHeart556]

Right on one time on the bt3 message board I held a midget tournament which was exactly what it sounded like: all the super short fighters competing for strongest midget

[@XJustified]

On the CPU vs CPU element, there was actually an entire community built around CPU battles called the Dragon Ball Z League for several years. It had the BT3 roster split up into different themed teams and people on those teams got to pick which characters would be in the active roster, the order, and what customization options they had (with point limits) each week for a sports league style season. It was a great time and ran for years as a live and VOD supported community that even had its own forums and fantasy league system. Great times.

[@Niosai]

I keep seeing this pointed out and it actually sounds like a lot of fun lmao

[@spinceiling7442]

DBZ league still exists actually and they still do cpu vs cpu tenkaichi 3

[@katisorubisane869]

CPU VS CPU fights were pretty fun cause sometimes I would witness something like Kid Gohan defeating SSJ Goku which was a real laugh😂😂

[@WolfMoon351]

Raging Blast 2 not having a story mode is fine. I mean it’s not like we haven’t seen it before.

[@Niosai]

Sure, but I wanted more What-Ifs 😭

[@BabyKobeeee]

Raging Blast 2 is the most underrated game in the series

[@jordandillow2417]

⁠cried about it!😂

[@anthonyramirez7586]

​@BabyKobeeee honestly crazy hearing that now. I remember back in 2012-2013ish when I first got the game and started playing it like crazy I remember it was considered the best if not second best. I only heard raging blast 1 was better bc of the what ifs battle which was dope as hell! Ig overall raging blast 2 not having a story kind of hurt it self popularity wise bc ppl like to play something they can follow. In retrospect the galaxy mode is a genius adaptation, but it definitely feels like it a DLC and just kinda re doing battles with a certain mission attached to it wasn't appealing to some ppl. I think it takes a certain die hard dbz fan to understand and truly admire what raging blast 2 was. Everything about it was better in every aspect. It's just the first game was better organized and more appealing to the eye. Raging blast 2s menu was a bet lacking but it did its job.

[@BabyKobeeee]

@@anthonyramirez7586 I thought or Atleast remember people saying Raging Blast 2 was bad when it first came out. Even now it’s a game most people either don’t remember or never mention. I think at that time people were still saying budokai tenkaichi 2 and 3 were the best games in the series.

[@typerider5305]

The CPU vs. CPU comment tickled my funny bone like you have no idea. What led me to this video was Twitch channel point gambling on CPU vs. CPU fights for Tenkaichi 3. It was a grand old time. The best moment had to be when we had a Human Z-Fighters vs. Broly and a Saibaman. Yamcha was doing WORK on Broly. Broly tags in Saibaman. Saibaman starts schooling Yamcha and Yamcha just TAGS OUT. HE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING. It was great.

[@redeclipseprojects9746]

14:52 well i actually do love CPU VS CPU mod in old games. i do like watching them, i emulate games on my phone and this mod does help past the time during break at work when i am eating :)

[@DrMasterAlex]

On CPU v CPU, there's a fantasy sport league thing for BT3 called DBZ League. It's pretty amusing. Basically custom built characters under specific themed teams duking it out.

[@emilydonegan3208]

Oh man, I’ve been waiting for this one! Today was a bad day, but this made up for it! Thanks, Niosai!

[@Niosai]

I appreciate that, and I hope your day gets better! :)

[@zyad48]

From what I recall, Raging Blast 2 just always did in-fight dialogue no matter what mode you were in. As long as the characters in the fight you chose were compatible, they would talk mid-fight. Say you go and play SSJ2 Goku and Majin Vegeta, they'll have special starting dialogue and talk throughout the fight. Didn't need to be in Galaxy Mode, could be in VS.

[@deathbybiscuit]

We used to make bets on CPU v CPU fights.

[@feartheoldblood7222]

Maybe an unpopular opinion byt Ragung blast 2 is underrated and the roster is so fun. I also love the galaxy mode. After so many games the story mode of DBZ became dull so galaxy mode was appreacited and differnt. I think thats why xenoverse story was so fun. It was a different story.

[@Niosai]

RB2 is great mechanically! I just wish it had more story stuff 😭

Ultimate Tenkaichi did so much right! If we just got that presentation but with actually good gameplay, I wonder if we would've gotten more Tenkaichi games after it 😭

[@nick25oo]

@@Niosai I basically 100% Ultimate and unlocked everything. That game has some of the best customization options, boss battles, visuals, and cutscenes in the entire series. One of the funny things about that specific game is that every character outside of the strongest characters have only one button they like to press the most and when you figure that out, the game basically just becomes speed run/ movie. So that game actually became fun for me because I played it like Pokémon and just collected everything, also some of the custom character voice acting options were just funny.

I began replaying DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 about 6 months ago. Enjoyed every bit of and also felt so nostalgic, I remember as a kid I had to wait for a very long time between loading screens but I was patient enough to do it cause the gameplay was so good. It feels nice to not have to wait that long anymore with how much better tech is today.

[@minjod]

Tenkaichi Tag Team is my favourite. You have 2vs2, great gameplay, nice graphics, no BS characters (seriously, Tenkaichi 3 has way too many fighters), good looking UI and you can play it on PS Vita

[@Phillylove100]

I can’t stand tenkaichi 3. My favorite part of budokai tenkaichi 1 and 2 was going through the huge story mode and unlocking all the characters. Tenkaichi 3 on the other hand has an incredibly lackluster and barebones story mode that doesn’t justify its existence because you barely unlock anything for completing it. Also nearly every single character is automatically unlocked at the start. And they took out unlocking characters with fusion items. It felt so cool using the knowledge of the series to intuit what item goes with what to unlock the character. But now it’s just all gone. And no one ever mentions this.

[@RikouHogashi]

Thank you so much for the Tribute in the middle after the BT Trilogy games of the video

[@nostalgicbard1847]

In tenkaichi 2, and 1 to a lesser degree, my brother and I loved that we didn't have to stay locked on, we made our own adventures in the little maps, it is one of my favorite memories of my childhood

[@zangbang9886]

when i was little (8-10 year old) I was an EXTREMELY easily scared child so videogames terrified me (if an enemy attacked me in a videogame I felt in danger in real life). But I did love watching my big brother play BT3 so when he wasnt playing I just loved roaming the menus and set up cpu vs cpu fights, imagining the story behind the fight. It was like playing with toys... virtually.

[@ogskraxx6678]

As a defender of Ultimate tenkaichi I wanted to point some of my own positives - Hero mode was REALLY fun with how you can customize moves and train with people to learn those moves - the combat while still being very dull does have a few cool manipulations. For instance Vegeta will favor the green single fist option so most of the time choosing the opposite will win against him. Not ever character works like this but you can manipulate the AI like this in some cases Took me a while to get around to this video lol but great work dude!!

[@Takeru_Dono]

I remember having a lot of fun with the Galaxy mode in RB2. It made me use a lot of characters i otherwise wouldn’t and actually made some underrated characters like Tenshinhan into one of my mains.

[@765craven4]

As for CPU vs CPU fights I think a good example of how fun they can be is watching Alpharad's Smash Bros CPU Tournaments. Dude constructed an entire story with them. As for my personal experience with Budokai Tenkaichi my introduction to it was my cousin's copy of 2 on his PS2, then a few years later getting 3 for the Wii. My brother and I has previously owned Budokai 2 on the GameCube and rented Budokai 1. We played the hell out of BT3 and had a blast, trading between battles to experience the story. And I distinctly remember my brother being extremely good with Namek Saga SSJ Goku and me maining Arale. A few years later we got Raging Blast 2 for the XBox 360 and had a ton of fun with the "Story" mode and trading off to play individual character modes.

[@DoubleDrastik]

back in the day me and my friends where heAVY INTO THE SERIES AND WE used to run cpu vs cpu on max difficulty to see certain match ups and see how cpu uses certain chars to get a idea of how to use a character you havent played with yet. me an my couzin would do cpu vs cpu match and watch while we are eating and study the cpu

Είναι σίγουρα ενα καλό παιχνίδι αλλά και πάλι για μένα ήταν 2 βήματα μπροστά και ένα βήμα πίσω από το 7. Έχω κουραστεί με το πόσο στασημος έχει γίνει ο χαρακτήρας του Kiryu. Είναι λες και φοβούνται να τον αφήσουν.

CPU vs. CPU, also known as COM battles can teach new players how to operate unfamiliar characters effectively, view techniques they might not yet know how to perform, and they can also be great for streaming, if you want to record or commentate over footage. They are like training options.

I liked simulating fights as a kid with Cpu vs Cpu

[@Niosai]

I'm seeing a lot of people say they bet on those fights 😂

[@psxman4536]

I was the person that did COM vs COM. Sometimes it's just fun to watch your own "what if" or remake scenes from the show without replaying the story directly.

[@Niosai]

That's a good point!

[@ssj3jay]

fun video id love to see the same style for the budokai series and butoden series

[@Niosai]

I actually covered the Budokai games in an earlier video, but I'll probably remake that eventually. The Butoden games are covered in my "I played every Dragon Ball Fighting Game" video! :)

[@PlutoNonary]

Plenty of use for CPU v CPU. Friends can pick the combatants and place bets, you can set up your own 'Tenkaichi Budokai', you can take a break to go eat pizza, etc etc

[@PlutoNonary]

Also Demon King Picollo is OP in BT3 cpu v cpu lol

[@suto9233]

There was a streamer some years back that did CPU vs CPU fights and we got to bet channel points on who would win.

[@TeamTowers1]

I honestly enjoyed the occasional CPU vs CPU fight, it was a way of letting a "dream match" unfold before me. If Sparking Zero has it , I'm defiantly gonna do a CPU vs CPU fight between Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Goku (if GT stuff is in the game).

[@EternalStorm796]

It most like will. I just hope if they do follow up game, they implement a simul team 2v2 like in TTT. I'm definitely not expecting it now, but I prefer TTT over XV purely for the combat.

@@MrAjking808 So how does calling a something a "dream match" mean one thinks it's real? That's the equivalent of complaining about SNK calling calling their none canon KOF games, Dream Match games.

By the time we got to Raging Blast 2, the fan base was getting pretty tired of retreading the DBZ story over and over, so they finally tried to do something different, and it's a big reason we get more original stories now, where every game has some link to each other through the Time Patrol stuff (I thought it was a welcome surprise in Kakarot). It has me wondering if Sparking Zero will retread the Z story, of if it'll do something more original that it too ties into the Time Patrol stuff that seems to have it's own elseworld Dragon Ball story being told through the games...I'd prefer them keep that up.

[@Niosai]

I want a full retelling of the entire story from Z through Super with the production value of something like Burst Limit, but that might be a pipe dream

[@dedicatez]

I remember watching cpu vs cpu fights on raging blast 2 because I just wanted to watch someone else play or if I was doing something else on the side

[@disgaealikerasapOG]

Zenkai battle reminds me of the battle of Z. that game feels like a fever dream...

[@The_batman_mma]

14:50 typically I use CPU vs CPU matches too learn how too play characters when making them play on the hardest difficulty but also sometimes I’ll go grab something too eat but I don’t wanna stop playing so I’ll watch these while I’m eating

[@superpsykkko]

14:50 i may not have done it in the budokai games, but im 100% the person who watched all CPU smash melee tournaments. in fairness, you can also crank up the insanity with items, but thats sorta the thing. its was so much fun to watch, and my cousins and I would wind down after several matches by kicking back to watch the CPUs go at it

[@geomejia8946]

I thing i remember is in BT2 I would roleplay as a kid and HIDE behind buildings in the city…(time to recover for example trunks vs androids/ future Gohan.) so I liked being able to knock and open far away and then run and hide…the cpu would fly around the map usually til they found me but usually I would find them again when I was ready….idk I enjoyed doing that instead of nonstop fighting til the fight is over

[@Niosai]

I think that makes more sense than Hercule hiding from himself 😂

[@TreyGodi]

Thanks for the video bro. I still own all of these games minus the Kinect and tag team game, and Zenkai but I definitely have knowledge of those games as I've played about all Z games from NES until new gen. Can you do make another video like this but focused specifically on how each one did transformations. As this is one of the most distinct differences between all Z games. For an example Tenkaichi & Raging Blast gave us different moves for each transformation while Xenoverse you didn't receive a new moveset with each transformation. Raging Blast, Xenoverse, & Kakarot allowed us to be able to de-transform. However Tenkaichi & Super DB Heroes are the only games that allow us to turn into Giants outside of the Giant Namekian form in Xenoverse, while Ozzaru's, Hirudegarn etc are unplayable in Xenoverse, Ultimate Tenkaichi, Raging Blast, Kakarot, etc etc. Tenkaichi 2 & 3, Tenkaichi Tag & Budokai 2 & 3, Kakarot, Buu's Fury SDBH, & i think raging blast as well are the only games that allow in game Fusion as an option/ mechanic. It's details like this that makes the wait for Sparking Zero more exciting thinking about different features or mechanics of each game, and things we hope returns or is better.

[@178laaleros]

Tenkaichi 2 and 3 were some of the best childhood memories in my PlayStation 2 days

[@sajidkabir9092]

There’s actually a cpu vs cpu league in bt3 on KZbin called dragonball z league it’s not huge but it’s literally themed teams in a 16 week season with playoffs and everything and you can tell the people that run it have a lot of passion for dragonball and these games, in my heart they’re a huge part of why sparking zero got announced all these years later

[@Niosai]

I've seen a lot of people mention this, I'm definitely gonna check it out!

[@ikerdy]

For the cpu v cpu fights, me and my cousin made a tournament out of EVERY character in BT3 and used the cpu v cpu fights to play out the tournament. We even added our own WWE style commentary while we were watching 🤣 if i remember right im pretty sure it ended up being ssj4 goku or gogeta that ended up winning it, but it was actually fun as hell to watch

[@Niosai]

That's a lot of what I'm hearing!

[@gameguru8]

With regards to other games that feature original animation, some of the One Piece fighting games come to mind. The Grand Battle series is notable, and newest one (that didn't release outside japan, sadly) even has an opening song featuring the voice of the main character.

[@silasstryder]

50:50, they don't have them officially, but since it's a 3d model that spins slowly you could just screen record it and throw that over to someone on Fiver with a 3D printer that can convert the recording into a 3d model, print it, and ship it over to you :) Heck if you pay for the higher end services they could probably even polish up the models so they're not as blocky

[@HomeCookinMTG]

So in defense of the Wii version's controls, the movement controls were "the hot new thing" back then, and they were really selling the fact that you get to like...do the kamehameha arm movements to do the attack in the game.

[@MaskedFighter]

I loved the Raging blast series, instead of two super attacks and one ultimate you could customise and input four super attacks and ultimates, and all you need was the right analog to pull them off, instead of pressing up,L2 and triangle. Very simple with new cutscene attacks. They added SS3 Broly and Vegeta, Coolers armored squad, Androids 14 and 15, Raging blast had the most beautiful Aura charges, btw you can play single mode on tournament. I liked how you could parry super beams too. You could also customise auras, change the soundtrack if your ps3 has downloaded music you can literally play any kind of music you want on Raging blast while fighting.Raging blast had some cool unique features that no other dbz game has. Raging blast is super underated, Raging blast 3 wouldve had so much potential.

[@Niosai]

Some people seemed like they didn't enjoy the changed controls but I truly don't see a downside!
