Is Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi REALLY That Good?!

The seemingly impossible has happened! Bandai has announced a new entry in the Budokai Tenkaichi franchise after all these years! Following Battle Of Z, Xenoverse, FighterZ, and so on, it felt like this franchise had served its purpose but it looks like there's more in the tank. With that, some may be new to Budokai Tenkaichi and others may want to relive the greatness of this franchise so let's roll back the clock to help recognize the significance of this announcement.

definitely gonna have alot of dlcs, its unfortunate there probably won’t be many unlockable characters either

I would love unlockables. It's something I miss in games lately. Dlc is definitely happening. I just hope it isn't overloaded and there is still some stuff to unlock. I loved going through each saga knowing id eventually get to play as Cell or Buu. Also the fusions need to come back please!

I love Tenkaichi 3. It has most complete feature, with its destructability, air to water battle, and flexible transformations (some are permanent though). I even flex on my friend as super saiyan, then just transforming back to normal, dodging all their attacks and still beating them up. Haha good old times

[@home9dog2blue199]

I like the way u put it when powering down to base form and whatnot because it got me thinking 🤔 remember how u could power down from being "Super Vegeta" to Vegeta in order to do fusion (if Goku is on your team)? Remember the "tree"/"fork in the road" of possibilities that each form gave you? as far as the show goes, they need to add some limitations to these new transformations and make the old forms MEAN something JUST LIKE THE GAME by: only allowing them to transform into specific forms through specific previous forms and giving every form a specific capability that other transformations can't perform.

[@solidskullz5736]

I’ve been playing budokai tenkaichi 3 since I was a kid, it’s my favorite dragon ball game. It covers all lot of the series story, has TONS of characters even the minor ones just for the sake of it, and it’s just a lot of fun. The fact we’re getting a 4th is mind blowing to me because of how long it’s been, I’m very excited

[@officernealy]

Exactly. Some of my favorite characters to play weren't the main cast or even the most powerful. King Piccolo, Future Gohan, Tapion, Arale, Nova Shenron, Android 8, Nail, Babidi, Garlic Jr., Pilaf, Dr. Wheelo, Spike the Devil Man, etc. it was just a treat to throw them at characters like Broly or SSJ4 Gogeta just to see what would happen.

[@Tombraithwaite1998]

Bro I remember playing budokai 3 and literally every time me and my best friend played against each other back when split screen was still alive, we would both go goku and vegeta and as the fight went on we slowly went from ss1 all the way to ss3 and super vegeta. Then we would do the beam duel to end the fight. Would get blisters going so hard turning the analog stick 😆😆 If I can recreate one of these moments when the game comes out I'll be happy. Still remember after ditching ss3 with goku once to go back to base form and do a massive spirit bomb against my friend who tried stopping it with his gallick gun and just slowly the spirit bomb got closer until it wiped him out and out bunch of buildings around him 😆

[@VTRcomics]

I liked how you went over things and mentioned the modding community in this video a lot. I feel you on the open world from BT2 but I just love the combo and flow of BT3 best because of the way that content is sorta integral to itself like playing some modes or menus progresses an hour for the tournaments and the Yamcha tournament, or all the What If battles even outside of the what if saga like Nail helping Goku fight the Ginyu Force. There was so much love put into these games man.

[@alexlovehall7796]

[@FazeRustyNuts]

It's better than T3 when you wanna do 2v2 since it can have 4 characters on the map at the same time

[@bluegrave4376]

I think 50 characters (not counting transformations) at launch would be good. It's unreasonable to expect them to have 100+ characters at launch if they're making tenkaichi 4 from the ground up. They're obviously gonna do dlc, so that's how the roster will expand with time. I can't wait to see more of the game and to see how the game actually plays

[@walberparker7111]

God please I know it's borderline impossible but I would HATE character dlc, unlocking them through gameplay was half of the fun of Tenkaichi 3

[@souljamarx]

At least the main characters, it would suck if we had to pay for someone like Gotenks But like I understand paying for a pack like the Bojack movie with all the villains and a new gohan costume

[@bluegrave4376]

@walberparker I'm sure they know what tenkaichi fans like, so unlocking things through playing is probably a given. There will absolutely be dlc though. If it allows them to take their time to perhaps really flesh out the content and make it worth buying, I'm honestly fine with it

[@diamonshade7484]

​@@anon1403 true

[@canontheory]

50 characters would be a major letdown. OG dragon ball characters alone is 14 characters not counting transformations and gt that’s about 9 characters so that’s like 23 characters which only leaves room for 27 dbz characters which prolly isn’t enough slots to add everyone up to the Freiza saga

[@TheSpeedfoever]

Man I am so with you in regards to DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2. That game summed up my entire childhood as far as gaming goes. I remember my uncle asking me for Christmas 1 year , I probably was 11 at the time and he asked what game did I want for Christmas and I told him DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and he said he try to get me it. I didn't know where he went to grab it but he got Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for me instead of 3 because they didn't have it. Looking back at that, I am thankful that I had the privilege to own one of the greatest DB games of all time and it was more than that to me because I saw it as number 1. It was the 2nd DB game I had owned at the time (Budokai 2 was the 1st) and It will always have a place in my heart forever.

[@jordanhsquared]

Even if it was only for a second, really glad you talked about Tenkaichi Tag Team! Game is super underrated, feel like I'm like one of 10 people who've played it because no one talks about it, or really praises it like they should. Had one of the hardest "What If?" Scenarios as well, with you having to fight both SSJ3 Goku and Fat Buu at the same time as a single Freiza Soldier!

[@kevin71794]

It was great for its time. But its greatest feature that you don't find these days in Dragon Ball games was the roster and the fun to have with friends. It was SO EASY to pick up and enjoy with them.

[@Stachelbeeerchen]

It has the best combat system to make you feel like you are in the Manga/Anime. The air combat, the beam struggles, the Transformations, the sound design. Any other DBZ game didnt really deliver a great package always lacking in one or two parts.

[@iisanulquiorrahara8]

My first go with BT was definitely 3 over at an old friend's house, and on the Wii of all places. We were both always amped to play rounds of it whenever we could. Eventually I owned a copy of my own on the PS2 which I would play to as close to completion as possible. Unfortunately, that experience left my playing of BT2 a little wanting. It just didn't feel as good to me and had less characters, so when I rented it at the time, I just wasn't feeling it. With that, I really have no urge to get BT1 anytime soon.

[@boomwowsion64]

I'm wondering if they curb development time by using the models from Xenoverse 2 and just customize from there. Would make the large roster a little more attainable than working from the ground up.

[@RacingSnails64]

Totally fine with cutting corners so long as the end result looks good and feels good. It'd be resourceful.

I want the movie villains and GT characters, not to mention all the new blood that'll come in from Super.

One of the many things that I love about budokai tenkaichi and I hope it's there in bt4 is that in every other game franchise we want something new, and in budokai we just want to play the same story over and over again because that's the story we like, ofc w polishment and roster and all that, I hope bt4 covers history from classic dB up until dbs

Damn... So Nostalgic, Now I'm so hype, this DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 4 will be so Insane... Despite all the DBZ games that have come out over the years, BT1 has the most badass and authentic Intro of all of DBZ games of the Franchise. BT2 and BT3 in my opinion still remains the most Unique and the best DBZ games in terms of content, quality and fanservices. And from the gameplay perspective aspects, these DBZ games that I mentioned are very close to the anime itself because of the Vibe and Charm, I don't know how to describe it but it was, and still is the most Unique DBZ experience you could have with the combat factor. (- Sheer amount de of characters - Transformations mid-battle (powering up and down) - Fusions mid-battle - Fast gameplay that has that "woah" feel - Tons of extra content - Story mode covering all sagas + movies - What If sagas - Shenron having permanent impact on game (character unlocks and whatnot) - Great tournaments that rotate availability - Edit characters with items (buffs) - 5v5 battles - Really Great and Epic Soundtracks - Destroyable environments - Entire stages could be blown up into their "destroyed" alternatives - Mission 100 being a great challenge - Artwork is 10/10 - Sound effects are great - Combat feels heavy and satisfying) Only Budokai 3, Infinite World and the Raging Blast 1 and 2 and all of PSP DBZ games except of Dragon Ball Z Evolution are still considered also very solid DBZ games, also the hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective.

Matty picking Budokai 2 as his favorite is all I needed to hear 🥹 that was my first DBZ game and I played it all the time with my cousin. Also had the best cover art 🔥🔥🔥
