Why Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is Tenkaichi 4 & Not Raging Blast 3

[@Bricksgaming710]

I also like how in raging blast they did the team supers so like if you had krillin on your team Goku and I think like kid Gohan you could do that spirit bomb where they bounce it back from the Saiyan saga

[@DVRKSTXR]

Plus, the Family Kamehameha that Goku, Gohan, and Goten all used against Broly in Broly: Second Coming. Although, in RB2 it is only Gohan and Goten that use it if I remember correctly.

Exactly it’s literally like Ragin blast and tenkaichi fusion but Tenkaichi is controlling the fusion

After this game releases, they should use the engine to remake the original 3 as a collection (like crash trilogy did) and rerelease them under their japanese names for ps5, xbox, steam and whatever new switch they're going to announce will be (if it can run it). A perfect reason to get new fans to be reintroduced to the original games and also cementing the japanese naming styles. That and they can also use this as a reason to add stuff exclusive to certain versions or regions to make a complete package!

[@MANOFGOD9000]

This cleared things up for me. So many people were saying it's been 17 years since the last game. I didn't realize Raging blast and Tenkaichi were that different. I treated Raging Blast as a similar game just no GT LOL

[@ricky7321]

One thing I’ll say. Is that as much as I LOVE the look of Sparking Zero. It carries over one of my biggest gripes with Kakarot. The character models. Something about them…feels off. I think it’s how skinny they seem. I specifically notice it with Goku. Like, I didn’t really feel a big difference between base Goku’s build vs God Goku. When there SHOULD be. Like as sleek as the models are, and they are great. Something about them feels weird. I’ve always raised an eyebrow when people say it looks JUST like the anime. When it doesn’t to me. OG Budokai Tenkaichi and Raging Blast look a LOT like the characters. And the models in FighterZ look just like the characters. But, something about sparking Zero seems off. I’ll wait until closer to release to really judge it though.

[@RandomBlackGamer]

I've seen some point this out but I think it boils down to the eras showcased in the trailer. People had an issue with how Saiyan Saga Goku and Vegeta looked less muscular. But I would argue that they're actually accurate because they weren't that big in the first season.

[@KtWrldGaming]

@@RandomBlackGamersomething that would be cool ash though is making saiyan saga goku get bigger as he uses Kaioken

[@starrk5627]

Yeah, that Vegeta (End) Super Saiyan face didn't look good at all, but Super Vegeta's face looked great. They'll probably fix all that including the muscles and proportions like you said.

[@daytonchris8351]

i remember after finding out that the character roster for raging blast was lacking compared to tenkaichi i felt disappointed. it felt like a big backtrack. i still prefer the budokai games but the tenkaichi budokai games were cold. my favorite part was the what if scenarios.

[@cockroach4318]

[@xxnike0629xx]

I mean the fact that they are using the _Sparking_ name in the title, it's pretty much a guarantee that this is a continuation of the _Sparking_ (i.e. Tenkaichi) series. I never actually got the _Raging Blast_ games nor did I get _Burst Limit_ , but I did get the Budokai games and Budokai Tenkaichi games on the PS2 (and of course Infinite World). That circular meter of the _Raging Blast_ series seems like a step backwards. I also agree that the _Raging Blast_ games do look a bit off in terms of the in-game character models even though graphically it looks better than the _Budokai Tenkaichi_ games. It definitely does have that more plastic-look. I feel like in general the _Raging Blast_ series was just trying to be something new and differentiate itself from previous series; kind of like what we got with the _Xenoverse_ games.

[@lewisgrant7622]

Burst limit could have been great but they released it unfinished.

Because Tenkaichi 4 is what everybody better be hoping for over raging blast 3. Tenkaichi had everything. Raging blast dumbed everything down even the roster but had better graphics. Tenkaichi 4 on next gen will have qualities from both Tenkaichi and raging blast. They're both basically the same.

[@crestofhonor2349]

I assume the only reason why FighterZ doesn't have transformations is because of balance reasons as animation has nothing to do with it. FighterZ is a traditional fighting game and that's what Arc Sys built the game around. Transforming wouldn't really do much plus a transformation has already been shown off in some of the Dramatic Finishes like with Gogeta vs Janemba. It's not really too much additional work as you just swap out the hair model for a different one or the entire character with some in between animations. FighterZ does have the best models in my eyes and Kakarot is right behind it for released games. Raging Blast still has the superior models to my eyes when comparing against Tenkaichi. Sparking Zero has really gone into some nice effects work though, kind of like an evolution of what Kakarot is doing
