It’s crazy how you made a video close to an hour not liking someone’s opinion

[@RealMikeHollow]

Really? Did you just see the video title and think it was about his opinion? If you even watched a little bit you'd know this guy straight up lied and misrepresented a bunch of Dragonball games and what the fan base is after. It's crazy that people make comments like these without even watching. Your opinion would be that you don't like Dragonball and that would be fine. What would be open for scrutiny is if you said Budokai 1 is an arena fighter or Dragonball Sagas is an arena fighter. That's not true. That's not an opinion. That's mainly what is being critiqued here. Please watch videos before making comments like these. I know you assumed but it's easily disprovable.

[@BlueCosmo369]

@@RealMikeHollow I’ve watched almost majority of it and it don’t need to watch the full of your entire video to get your point. It’s obvious that people and YOU are literally upset and get emotionally upset over a game revolving around fiction and then having the time of day to get upset at someone else 😂. Your a grown man who shouldn’t get this emotional over a fictional. I get you have an emotional connection to this game bro but it’s not even that serious 😂. Btw the person who was talking about was making his own opinions about the game. That is how he perceives the games that he has played, you don’t have to agree with someone’s perception over something FICTIONAL 😂. On god grow up

[@drakeredgrave6747]

@BlueCosmo369 the problem is that he(gameology) is REALLY misinformed. From lumping Sagas, legends, and FIGHTERZ of all games into the arena fighters. He also tries to claim that SZ needs to be competitive like traditional fighting games when the Sparking series is designed to not be competitive. Regardless of video length, making videos that disprove disingenuous critiques such as this is somewhat necessary. Otherwise, people will believe in them and impact the games image with misplaced prejudice

[@BlueCosmo369]

@@drakeredgrave6747 I highly doubt what you said in the end. Truth be told I can care less about the individual who made this response video and the original video itself he is responding to. Just to be clear I didn’t agree with the original video made by Gameology. Now let me address you last commen. Literally NO ONE is going to take gameology serious due to a few reasons. Reason 1 is that most fans in the dragon ball community are emotionally connected to these games due to nostalgia. Reason 2 most people already got emotional and didn’t like his video. Finally reason 3 is because some people already see the vast similarities that sparking zero has in comparison to other dragon ball z games and it’s not that hard to point out. We as fans are just going to consume this game regardless if it was good game or not so let’s be real about this 😂. It doesn’t also matter if gameology was saying redundant or anything misinformed people are just gonna get tight about and dislike the video anyways. One a serious note for the love of god don’t ever worry about someone else’s opinion on social media. It’s insane how people get bent outta shape when defending something the love when that said thing is extremely fictional in nature and it doesn’t even revolve around anything in the real world. Trust me I get it because I love dragon ball z but my days over angrily arguing over fictional characters or opinions of other fictional characters are over. It’s a waste of genuine time and it shows grown men and women can’t control themselves at all and will go to hell and back for a fucking video game 😂

[@NarcoticDimension]

​@BlueCosmo369 love how you keep writing full on essays telling us not to listen to other people's opinions... except your opinion...🤡

[@RandomBlackGamer]

That guy's argument instantly fell flat when he tried to say that Sparking Zero had to be a balanced competative fighter. The only thing that needs to be balanced is the power scaling for the figthers. I don't need to see Guldo standing any kind of chance against Gogeta.

[@CellAndroid.]

Its a skill issue. You can Beat anyone with guldo but you need to get good with him first

[@fluidwolf]

Realistically you should be able to beat anyone with anyone. A game like this is a lot less fun if a good chunk of the roster gets obsoleted unless you are much better than the opponent

[@RealMikeHollow]

Yeah, he had no idea what he was on about. Any character can win but the uphill battle of some characters is what makes it fun and makes dunking on your friends especially satisfying. At the highest level, you're probably never gonna see a Guldo beat a Gogeta and that's fine. It doesn't need to be like FighterZ.

[@ElSandwich777]

I remember that characters in BT3 had individual skill trees, and could be levelled up and equipped with ability spheres to make them more powerful. We used to use local rules for characters so that everyone could compete equally. Did I have to use an upgraded Future Gohan to stand a chance against SS4 Gogeta? No, I could play the game just fine. But it sure helped even the odds.

[@Tezca-Coatl]

it depends on how the game is markedet really, if its being markedet as a competitive fighting game - there need to be a certain semblance of balance.. but this is dragon ball...

[@TwoyBwoy]

The thing about competitive games is that people are casuals until they’re not. If a person likes a game enough they will become a high level player if they want to.

[@lbnycity89]

Clearly, this reviewer doesn’t know Budpkai and Budpkai Tenkaichi are two different franchisees and the reason why Budokai Tenkaivhi had that name instead of the sparking title is to piggyback off the popularity in the west with Budokaki.

[@RealMikeHollow]

Some basic research could have saved him a whole lot of dislike 😅

[@lbnycity89]

@@RealMikeHollow now the thing that I don’t understand, is people assuming this expansion was coming with the ultimate edition maybe a lot of these people aren’t Mortal Kombat players but I never assume the story expansion is part of the ultimate edition when the game first comes out. I just happen to see the price of the new stage when I was downloading Heihachi but at first, I didn’t think nothing of it. I thought it was going to be like a injusticew situation where they give you the option to buy DLC that you can get in the story if you don’t feel like playing the story. Once I saw that you still don’t get the stage once you complete the story I was like wow that’s crazy. But I’m not Trippin. I’ll end up buying the stage once I consistently start playing Tekken I haven’t touched that game at Moss and I’ll probably still won’t when sparking zero comes out.

[@Kalyx]

His review is exactly the reason I haven't read a game review since 2012.

[@RealMikeHollow]

You made the right call 😂

[@Kalyx]

@@RealMikeHollow An easy way to look at it is when it doesn't sound like speaking from experience, but speaking what he heard about. Plenty of buzzwords and 'how do you do, fellow kids' lingo with fighting games terms with no substantiation or insight. Game Informer magazine was chock full of this kind of writing. And the parts of it where he gets detailed just so happened to be when he's talking about his ideals for a game. That's what he wanted to write about, everything else was an ai prompt sounding preamble. And the games that most closely resemble what he's talking about (Xenoverse and Kakarot), he absolutely didn't play anyway.

[@UJustDonotKnow]

He says there’s no archetypes but there’s five I believe : strength, speed, ki blast, giants , and androids. Some characters can equip scouters which increases search radius. There’s characters that can’t fly so they’re specialty ground characters. I could keep going but you get the point lol

[@alexandermccalla5098]

Burst Limit was what motivated them to make Infinite World which is functionally budokai with some burst limit elements added for ps2. It’s a 3D fighter. Not 8 way run because you don’t exactly walk as opposed to dodging. JoJo ASB is a 2D fighter. There’s a dodging mechanic in it that could make it look 3D but it ALWAYS aligns and you use it in response to attacks like substitution in storm games

Complaining that a tenkaichi game plays like a tenkaichi game and not like fighterz is crazy. Funniest part for me was him saying the game has no balance and like 5 minutes later he says the developers didn’t want it to be balanced to keep it more accurate with the lore

[@fluidwolf]

That guy just....didnt seem to know anything about what he was talking about. Literally straight up ignorant of so many things. Be that as it may with all their bullcrap, the idea that we shouldnt want any kind of balance and that canon power levels should dictate strength is a damaging idea as well. Part of the fun of these game is playing as the characters you like, which would quickly become soured if 99% of the roster gets obsoleted and every match online becomes the same handful of the only characters worth picking if you want a fighting chance. Having some kind of balance is important whether a game is s fun romp like the sparking series or a more competitive fights like Fighterz. We likely have options to turn the big characters into these godly super fights that you need to bash your face against to beat but at base giving the most amount of characters a fighting chance as possible is generally the best path for a fighting game.

My cousin and I always liked starting as base Vegeta and Gohan and powering up mid match to fight each other.

I kiiiind of agree with some of what this guy is saying, but it's not really a deal breaker for me. When he says so many of the characters play the same, I felt that with tenkaichi 3 after a while. If the characters play more distinctively in sparking zero, then that would be a welcome improvement imo

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

The characters DO play differently though. If you press the same square to triangle combo with either goku or vegeta they're going to have a different follow up. Goku will do a heavy attack and Vegeta's (I think) turns the person around where it's harder for tbe person to defend.

even tho some movement tech from bt3 isnt present in SZ, we can expect the same thing will make characters tiers higher than others: high base speed, defensive blast moves (explosive wave), attack speed, confirmed unvanishable combos, and the unblockable blast wave. Base Armor Trunks (S+ tier) is better than his super saiyan form AND gogeta 4 (and ssj armor trunks and gogeta 4 are in the same tier). Base Armor Trunks actually has the highest base speed in the game for some reason and has Explosive Wave, the best defensive option in the game (if the character has it). Cell (PF) is S++ the highest tiered character meanwhile Perfect Cell is only considered B tier bc he loses SExplosive Wave Ult, barrage db, his speed DROPS on tranforming from Speed 6 to Speed 4, and cell pf has confirmed combos on top of all that. Gogeta 4 is only considered S tier 😂 he’s not as good as Nouva Shenron lol and btw Android 17 is the only other character that shares S++ with Cell PF 😂😂😂 and Lssj Broly is his own tier bc of the damage reduction, super armor, and higher base damage. and he has a turnaround in his combos, you take increased damage from backshots 😅 anyway yuh if this game has competitive expect the tierlist to be unpredictable (unless you know a character has Explosive Wave than you should expect them to be high tier) peace ✌️

[@espurrseyes42]

Provided things do work mostly the same, they Lowkey buffed Z Broly. Base still has a Rush and now has SEW as his Ult, SSJ lost Eraser Cannon as a Blast 2 for Bloody Smash at the cost of SEW Ult, and LSSJ got Gigantic Hammer turned into a proper Rush over a Command Grab.

Asura and some of the others shown on that clip are not a part of the actual Umvc3 game, and i sincerely doubt he was even aware of what he was looking at since he thinks tenkaichi and budokai are the same series. Also, that sales data in the end was almaot structured to make recent years look bad. He had 2015 to early 2020 bunched up together which would include shortly after the release of xenoverse 1, all xenoverse 2 and dbfz, and the early post launch of Kakarot. There have been other games since then, but those were the big ones. There's no doubt as to why revenue would diminish when the franchise has mostly just gotten revenue from a couple smaller titles and dlc from games that are 5 to 8 years old at this point. It's honestly surprising to me how someone that seems to know very little about fighting games is such a strong fanboy for DBFZ. You can tell they dont know about actual character balance and system mechanics beyond the surface level. Yet he doesnt see the appeal of Sparking. I like fighterz but imo, DBFZ was made for more competitive fighting game fans and marvel fans that also happen to like dbz. Sparking and Tenkaichi are made for DB franchise fans that happen to like the gameplay of arena fighters. I would think sparking would have broader appeal just thru sheer scope alone.

Damn man... I've never seen so many points being taken, and being wrong on all of them.

This was the equivalent of comparing animal crossing to the sims. Nothing alike. Whatsoever.

[@espurrseyes42]

Bulma in a mech ain't the worst character idea.

[@markkipanga1933]

What this guy is saying, is the argument you would hear from a lot of sf players back in the day in the early 2000s. They would tell you at the arcade that the sparkings games are bad because there not competitive 2d fighting games like king of fighters or sf. that the controls for the sparking games are bad because there no quarter circle motions .I love me some 2d fighters like sf6, I but even I know not all fighting games need to be competitive to good. Sometimes its fun to turn off your brain and a hit a fool with a final flash. The sparkings games were meant to be a causal simulations of the battles of the anime and that's fine. In recent years those type of players have fallen off, but this guy is a relic of those times.

[@neverleft7494]

6:57. I really don’t want it t be super lore accurate if that’s the case ppl are only gonna play fusions and super characters . I do want my Saiyan saga vegeta to be able to throw hands with fused zamsu if it’s to accurate the games not gonna allow for any diverse matchups . Is my future gohan not gonna be able to fight a berrus .

[@RealMikeHollow]

You will but you'll definitely feel the power difference. I played Majin Vegeta in Tenkaichi 3 and I was fine. Obviously if you pick more extreme ends like kid Gohan in the Saiyan saga and go up against Jiren, it's going to be extremely difficult to win. The DP system online will stop people from having overpowered teams.

[@espurrseyes42]

​@@RealMikeHollow Not necessarily. On a casual level, sure, but the DP System doesn't necessarily correlate to Gameplay. T3 Frieza is a good example, his gameplay fluctuating drastically with each form. Or Base Armor Trunks being a top tier, yet costing much less DP than SSJ4 Gogeta. I think even Hercule, the worst character in the game according to DP, is kinda good due to Present Bomb Infinites.

[@UnifiedEntity]

"It doesnt have the back and forth keep em guessing" Boy we dont WANT THAT for Tenkaichi. And the fighting game fanatics who did? got that shit with FIghterz. Leave us DBZ fans with our DBZ games.

[@RealMikeHollow]

Thank you, sir 🙏🏾

[@SpiderSora]

Someone always got something to say about sparking zero because they can't just let the fans be happy and enjoy the game so they gotta go and lie about the game to cause controversy Especially when you got perfection who probably stalks bandai's KZbin channel just so he could keep an eye out for any new sparking zero videos they've posted just so he could make another video hating on it, the dude hates on every single thing the game does for no justifiable reason because he's always looking for something else about sparking zero to complain about because he can never just be happy, he doesn't want to be happy, he wants to be upset for no reason so he can complain about everything

[@LordGrim1313]

Gamology messed up. First off they should have called them casual fighters instead of arena fighters. Budokai was not an arena fighter, but it was a casual fighter. Also FighterZ is still a relatively new game, could very well be slated for a sequel (and personally I hope it does, fantastic tite) but it still scratches that itch and not every game has to be competitive, or a tournament fighter if you prefer. He might have had a point if he compared Sparking Zero to Raging Blast, which was made with the same engine and same team as Tenkaichi 3 back in the day, just improved with better graphics and gameplay. Raging Blast doubled the moveset for the roster, had customizeable move sets, and gave a lot of characters new and better ultimates (Vegeta Scouter was so much better) but they walked all of that back for this version.

[@lildarkone222]

This is just giving flashbacks to what ign said about tekken 8, "new entry same game" game review channels are about to lose their shit when gta6 drops with this thought process, cant wait to see the horrible takes than😭

[@wesleymedrano7638]

this is a rage bait and a joke lmao he put saga as an arena fighter when that wasn’t a multiplayer game more a hack an slash game lmao 😂

[@Skeeter869]

I can't take this gamology guy seriously lmao

[@RealMikeHollow]

I don't think anyone can 😅

[@Krod1995]

Sparking zero has no correlation to any other Dragon Ball Z game other than fundamentals and framework to instigate a certain move for your character. This guy's arguments makes no sense because all he's really saying is just a bunch of hearsay to think that the game's going to be terrible without even noticing that the mechanics are not even close to previous games in the past. Wait until the game comes out and then make that judgment but I think the game looks really good and it can very well be a major success for the franchise in gaming history

[@Sukarettoroz]

I just want the super saiyan 3 broly and vegeta again and super 17

[@umbrasunbro2142]

What is his metric for Arena Fighter? “it’s Anime, fighting, so it’s Arena Fighter”?

[@Luke21-xk7uh]

He literally contradicts himself with every other point he makes.

[@SegaKidJay]

That dude probably scripted his video with AI. No way you can be that wrong with basic research.

[@RealMikeHollow]

😂😂 AI out here exposing people.

[@alexandermccalla5098]

Nah I want Guldo to fight on par. Lol but I don’t need it exactly balanced. For example, in raging blast 2, those characters couldn’t be customized to the same extent. But the mechanics apply to all so if you’re nice with it, you can dodge and charge attack effectively

[@himuraashura6640]

Im so so so glad you covered this. Listening to 13-15 minuets from a "Dragonball Fan" when I was working nearly had me yelling in the cooler. I was hoping a TRUELY educated DBZ fan would rip his "review" apart. You and some others answered this spiritual summons. Got into a discord call with my friend and we were going off about this guy. I already lost neurons 1 minuet in when he had XV 1 and 2, Burst and Raging as examples of how similar they are. It was VERY rough listening to the rest. Man has no idea what the hell he was or about yet had the balls to he confident eith spewing lies.😂

[@RealMikeHollow]

@@himuraashura6640 he spoke so much waffle it actually hurt my brain after a while 😂😂

[@himuraashura6640]

Slight Daboras advocate; I agree with his thought about XV2 CaC customization. When I turn Super Saiyan....I want my hair to change in looks. XD My biggest cosmetic gripe bout that game. Everything else is like.....He REALLY thought he was cooking here. His comparisons to legit fighting games has me baffled. Where does street fighter and tekken come in here? Why in the hell did he bring in armor core? Complaining about the story that doesn't need change is madness to me. "Wanna watch Krillin get blown up for the millionth time?" You mean the very explosion that gave us one of the most iconic scenes and fights after? How can a dragon ball fan EVER get annoyed watching that again knowing full well what follows?

[@alexandermccalla5098]

My god. I’m sorry I do this like every video but hopefully I’m fueling the algorithm. When he says it’s slow, it appears that he’s judging frame by frame much like how people would freeze frames in Dragon Ball Super and say it was poorly animated. But this guy is missing the whole point of the game. It’s like a legacy project. I have the old games right in front of me. Even Ultimate Battle. The controls were great wtf? You can attack and gain ki that way as well. This man has absolutely no experience with the series. Less than 20 minutes into this shambolic review and I’ve left like five comments. One more week. Sparkling Meteor/Ten3 was easily one of my favorite games. I used to go to my friends after school and on the weekends and DOMINATE them with the Goku that only went ssj1 with the yardrat costume. I was a casual up until I got burst limit LONG after it got out. Like late into high school I saw combo videos for infinite world and burst limit and had to invite my friend over so we could hop on the ps2 for hours. The complexity of charge attack combos reinvigorated the game for me. Pikon was broken though. I think that he’s saying that there are many repeat characters and he’s not considering how they fight at all.

I watched this to see how much incorrect info he put out.......and MAN, I'm embarrassed 😮.......sheeesh who hired him to "review" the game?

[@JordanPorter11207]

It really makes me wonder if he even knows what the hell an arena fighter is. Clearly he hasn't played any of the Naruto Storm games or even party arena fighters from back in the day. FighterZ is not an arena fighter. Sure you can change the arena after certain lvl 3's but does that really count? You could do the same in Mortal Kombat. That would be like call MVC an arena fighter. Dragon Ball Legends, isn't that a damn mobile game? We don't even need bring up Sagas.

[@Iqzzy-KO]

5:25 Ain't no way he called Dragon Ball FighterZ an arena fighter lol bruv wtf 😂😂😂 also, the DP system reminds me of CVS's Ratio System, interesting, & I like the what-if stories, as well!
