@41:27 Fun Fact: Cell's voice "reverts" to his imperfect form voice when taunting and getting hurt because in the Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z, Cell's voice is always the same no matter what form he is in. In most of the earlier games where Cell is voiced, it's just a limitation because the developers did not re-record new lines for his pain and taunt lines because in the Japanese version there would be no difference.

Idk if you know the reason why the Kamehameha was originally yellow in Budokai, but it's due to the fact that the original color of the Kamehameha was yellow in the first officially colored version of the manga.

Show me some evidence because the anime came out before either of the Color versions.

He wasn't accused, he was found out. "Accused" implies we don't know for sure. It's been definitively proven he flat out stole almost all of his songs, some of which are down to the exact beat and note. That being said, it doesn't mean it's not a good soundtrack. Just a stolen one. Like, I watch Kai with either the Faulconer score or the Yamamoto score. Because it's still good. It's just important to recognize that almost all of it **is** completely stolen from other artists and composers. Which funnily enough is **why** it's good lmao. Which is a shame.

This game got me firmly into DBZ. I saw an ad for the game in the Shōnen Jump that featured Goku just winning the battle on Namek and escaping using Frieza's ship. I was so sold. And the cutscenes in this game are just so damn solid. Dev time went more to the combat in 2 and going forward, but this was basically Abridged before Abridged, as far as how faithfully the animation plays like the show, with the bonus of being interactive so I could play these fights out personally.

[@gothboy77z]

insanely good. practically no other dbz game did the cut-scenes so well. also you can unlock "super trunks 2" which is the form beyond what super vegeta uses, but before ssj2

This game, flaws and all, was just the greatest thing for me at the time of its launch. The small details like the expression changes of the character pictures on the health bar after in fight transformations to the big things like the in depth story mode and that timeless GOAT soundtrack, it was all so gd good! Seeing people play it nowadays is just weird lol cause if you didn't play it before, of course it doesn't really hold up. But back then? It was perfection. At least to me.

[@viscountrainbows2857]

Yeah this game still has mileage even if having to basically do an interpretive dance to pop off a special move was sorta goofy. The visuals are still amazingly ambitious, and though they probably didn't have the time to include more playable elements of the story and characters (i.e. Trunks not having his sword usable for Mecha Frieza in the campaign) or if at the time it was probably one of if not the only good mainstream Dragon Ball games at the time, making it possible for Legacy of Goku to be the powerhouse it was despite being on handheld, and the continuation of Budōôai to Xenoverse, Infinite World, FighterZ, and Budôkai 4 now as a reward for us buying into this so long ago. 2 decades plus 1 in my case. One of the major misses of this game was not having maybe more minigame sequences like steering Raditz into the SBC. It could have had you charge and throw the spirit bomb maybe fight Great Ape Vegeta, charge and beam struggle the Father-Son Kamehameha against Cell, etc. But at its core, still a great base for an amazing line of fighting games for all systems, warts and all.

[@Kugrox]

my first dragonball game i think was budokai 2 and to this date i still remember the infinite ki with fusions being some of the most fun gameplay ive ever experienced.

[@FrankNitty-zg1th]

Bro i was 6 years old and can honestly say it changed my life forever. I played this game Before I started watching dbz on toonami and at the time I thought it was a new show not even knowing dbz had Been over for 10 years lol. I'm 28 now and still play dbz and love everything about it. It's crazy because without this game I sole heartedly can say I wouldn't have fell in love with the series as a whole and anime in general. It seems everything was peak in that Era from games like gta smackdown vs raw dbz Def jam etc to shows like dbz yu yu Hakusho, the whole cartoon network and nickelodeon line up, to MTV bet wwe . Shit it may Be just nostalgia But that was a hell of a great childhood in my honest and humble opinion!

[@DBZAOTA482]

The first Budokai isn't a great fighting game. Compare it to other PS2 fighting games even from its time and there's a lot of competition that easily blows it out of the water. But for us Dragon Ball fans (at least in North America), it was the best we had at the time. Then we started ones that were actually good (Budokai 3, Shin Budokai, Super DBZ) and now we have FighterZ holding its own with the big boys of the genre. While the original Budokai is pretty basic compared to later games, those feats probably wouldn't be possible without it.

I was surprised the continuous Kamehameha or continuous turtle destruction wave is actual supposed to be multiple beams,but it sounds like it would be long lasting kamehameha.

[@stevenmoffett3460]

Doto's inability to land specials is so funny to me. He can do complex combos in fighterz, that uses quarter and half rotations of the joystick. But he can't do a simple forward punch/kick, or push energy button.

For real, I got annoyed that he gets cool moves he could try in each character and form but just do all the battles the same, blocking and punching

[@michaelsaddekni1831]

Just in case you play Budokai 2, charge is X(hold) back back(hold), transform is R1+R2. Charged moves can't be blocked, but cpu's usually read you and grab. Budokai 2 added beam clashes and shortcuts for supers so you don't have to do the full combo to shoot a Kamehameha. Love the videos bro!

Notice that Doto NEVER sidestep, like, at all. Sidestepping is actually useful if you want to dodge melee attacks, especially the charged attack. You can also use it to possibly dodge some or most ki blast attacks such as Kamehameha or Galick Gun. The button for it is simple: double-tap down to dodge right, up to dodge left. And don't worry: there's no jumping nor crouching in this game.

Slight plot inconsistencies, but I'm liking the game tbh. Vegeta shouldn't have had the scouter after killing Nappa, he crushes it in Nappa's face. Also, Vegeta couldn't sense Gohan's power level. He learned about sensing power between his whoopin and Namek.

[@danielbuie6878]

I think the Vegeta What If is supposed to have different lines, it's been years since I played it but I played it with Japanese voices and the subtitles explaining the Nappa situation were completely different which I didn't expect the subtitles to change based on which dub you set the voices too so I was very confused at first. I think the original implication was supposed to be that Goku accidentally killed Nappa when he broke his back for this What If, and Yajirobe's reasoning for not joining changes slightly to "no way, I'll just end up like that Saiyan" and Vegeta yells that his name was Nappa reminiscent of Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation.
