When you discuss BN6 post game will you also discuss the real world battle chips from throughout the latter trilogy and 6 in particular the ability to access Link Navis in PVP mode, and 3 special characters you cannot access in any other method (Beastless Megaman, Permanent Beast Megaman and Protoman) a feature sadly not replicated in the legacy collections.

@christiancinnabars1402Ай бұрын
Power scaling, especially in a battle focused series like Dragon Ball, is still an important narrative tool. Obviously not to the physics derived or exact number based precision that a lot of debaters want it to be for their cross-series mayhem, but it is a system that shows you which character can do what at a given time. For example, why didn't Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Kami, Chi-chi, and Roshi just turbo-jump Piccolo Jr at the end of the 23rd World Tournament? Because he would easy stir-fry them into a $30 platter in half a second if they did. Going by this game's logic, in all its weird pseudo-progression glory, a f*cking _pack of wolves_ could have crawled out from the forest and mauled Raditz in 5 minutes flat. Boom, end of the Saiyan Saga (Nappa and Vegeta don't learn about the Dragon Balls, so they don't bother coming over). I get that "lmao power levels" is a joke and all, but it's been over twenty years of it nonstop, to the point people are now interpreting it less as "lol [shounen author] is bad at power progression" and more as "you shouldn't care about _power_ scaling in a series centered around building up and displaying _power."_

If I recall correctly, they were also responsible for Taiketsu? So if anything, they're just never given enough time/money to make a decent game.

If anything, it's kinda sad, they could have probably pulled off a lot with Dragon Ball if they were.

I don't think there is a single person in this world that liked this game even as a kid, this game was so hated at my school that bullies became friends with some of the nerds just because of their mutual hate for this game, and unfortunately as Dragon Ball fans when kids asked for Dragon Ball games, this was basically the game that most parents got for their kids because a lot of parents didn't do the research to find out what games were good and stuff. Fortunately because I didn't own a GBA my parents never bought this game for me, and I only played it second hand from borrowing a friend's GBA or something, and then later in life through emulation, and the only way to make this game actually feel playable, was through the use of some cheats to give you infinite Ki and infinite flight, because then you could actually do stuff without it feeling so tedious since you could just fly everywhere, and with infinite Ki you could actually use your attacks to cheese most fights. I really wish that they had changed the name for Legacy of Goku 2 though, because after the first game was so bad a lot of people complete skipped on the second one, because of the reputation that the first game had, and this made a lot of people miss out on having a good time with the sequel, which is why I am glad that Buu's fury didn't have the Legacy of Goku title, but the damage had been done and nobody really trusted the other GBA Dragon Ball games after Legacy of Goku 1, so a lot of people missed out on Legacy 2 and Buu's Fury and even Supersonic warriors, which is a shame as all those games are pretty fun, but that is what happens when a bad game gets pushed to market most likely because of time constraints and stuff, and developers needing to meet deadlines and crap.

The little bits of skill you learn while doing the thing badly are gonna be worth it to make something you're proud of.

Everyone I knew who played this game got killed by a wolf and quit. I get it for cheap though and beat it. Keeping my distance and spamming ki blasts was very not like Dragon Ball Goku, but I beat it. I almost quit myself until a got my first speed increase. I could swear I leveled up enough to beat wolves with a single punch. At that point I tested, never using the punch on anything unless it was flared or I was sure it would one shot. I barely used the flare, it was too unreliable. I saw the Kamehameha fail once and never bothered with it again. The speed increases were all given by random people in the levels, so I scrounged every level for the one who may increase it. If my speed wasn't high enough I would create space with whatever by flying. Dinosaurs leveled up Goku quick, but by the time of Namek I stopped bothering with them. I deliberately took advantage of the enemies and bosses freezing up on their own to pelt them with free blasts until they started moving again. I beat the game once, and never want to play it again.

14:27 Because this game was very well made, you can actually fly into the dinosaur skeleton and get the Solar Flare as soon as you enter this guy's house, without needing to complete any of the sidequests, it makes things like getting the pterodactyl egg and getting past the T-rex a bit easier, or just getting around the wolves in the village, this was something I discovered by accident as a kid and I'll never forget as a result 19:01 There ARE enemies... but they're exact copies of the spirits you're looking for with literally no way to distinguish the two of them besides being able to talk to the ones that don't kill you 23:08 The way Ki seems to work in this game is that even though the bar functionally remains the same with no difference, your Ki attacks do more damage the higher the number in the pause menu is, which increases every time you level up, giving the illusion of using "more Ki" for your attacks despite nothing visually changing in how the bar appears to the player. You can also see differences in strength when leveling up, the most visible way to see this is using the debug menu to fight Frieza at level 1 and needing to punch him for up to *40 minutes or more* (assuming you're using the invincibility glitch to keep him from fighting back) compared to the much shorter time it would take if you were playing the game normally to get past his first form I'm actually surprised that HP works the way that it does because the other 3 stats in the game (strength, Ki, and speed) all work as intended

As a kid I loved this game, even for all of its god awful faults. It was short and janky enough that I could just focus on ripping it apart and trying my best to break it. I didnt hear you mention it(sorrybif i missed it), but even if attacks DO connect they do variabld amounts of damage with separate sound effects... so half the time they work its still functionally useless. It does do some good though, sort of. The sprites are too good for this game, the Super Saiyan transformation looks really nice, and they remembered Puar exists! The fact that they gave the bank robbers their own gun attack was neat. One of the only places that Yamcha's baseball career is brought up prior to it gaining some joking fame. For what levels and exp are worth I do genuinely appreciate that talking to the OG Dragonball cast in the overworld granted experience points.
@ChronoflationАй бұрын
1 thing I will give this game, it has my favorite Super Saiyan transformation from this entire series. 2 has no real effects outside of the hair and 3 has the boring generic DBZ aura, which is cool at first, but becomes stale when you realize Super Saiyan gives you a full bar of ki no matter how much ki you have and only takes 10 seconds to recharge, meaning you spend almost the entire game going Super Saiyan, using all your ki, and then waiting 10 seconds to do it again. It also doesn't feel like it's moving the dust or rocks around you, like this first effect does. I think that makes this first one special. I've replayed this game a number of times just to get to this transformation because I like it so much and I enjoy the cheese of the games enough

This game feels like a Chinese Bootleg.

I forced myself to like this game as a kid. It wasn't bad, it was my fault I died to every enemy and couldn't progress. The sequel came out and I never, ever went back to it.

Damn....I remember this........I feel the pain all over again lmao. This also makes me realize after playing PC-88/98 games.....this game has HORRIBLE hitboxes compared to games from the 80s lmao

Even with the "Goku Doesn't Die To Wolves" re-balance patch hack, this game still blows chunks.
