DBZ Budokai 3 2007 Tournament Footage

[SoundsLikePAUSE]

Speaking of Tenkaichi, 2 is actually pretty solid. Very playable compared to the rest of the games. Only Raging Blast 2 actually compares.

Agreed. I really don't like the Tenkaichi battle system but 2 is solid and fun. But, like PerfectMindGame I still would prefer them to go back to the Budokai style though. It just worked so well.

Shin Budokai was so deep in comparison to Budokai 3, and it's sad to see it not get a third installation.

also sad it wasnt on console, I heavily preffered their style of ultimates over the cinematic ones. future trunks' ultimate was really well made imo, the one where he blasts you into the sky.

Yeah, it being on PSP was terrible. It was made worse by the fact that ad-hoc was naturally laggy as hell. :/

That probably won't happen since more than 99.99% are casual players. Tenkaichi just sells better I think. If only NRS could make us a dbz game, great story mode and deep gameplay...

I wouldn't want NRS to touch DBZ, IMO. No offense to them, but I feel Dimps was on a roll with how well built Shin Budokai 2 was built. Holy shit was that game deep, and aside from the balance, the game was pretty glorious to play.

well yeah its funny how games like budokai and naruto accel 2 on ps2 had infinites but were still balanced due to breakers(teleports/clones). If people were to take it seriously they might complain about how everything is so safe because of it.

Yeah, but the teleports in Budokai required your own meter, and could be easily baited (in B3, IW only a few characters could bait teleports reliably with P, otherwise you had to hope they teleported late).

Datura had some really big and pointy ears.

Also, Hercule being worst in the game is no joke. He is soooooooo so handicapped, it's not even funny. Alongside having a roll dodge for a teleport (which means he can't do so when juggled), he is also the only character who has less than 3 bars for a baseline, which means if he gets touched, he pretty much dies. This turns Hercule vs Bardock into one of the worst matchups in the game.

Funny, because Hercule seemed really good in Budokai 1 and 2.

He was okay in said games. Budokai 1 really didn't matter, though, because Frieza and Goku were literally the only characters who weren't broken in a negative way. Same with Budokai 2 somewhat.

 

[RM Truth]

And this is why we need GGPO for this game.

How unbalanced was budokai 1?

 

[RM Truth]

Did all tournament games use 6 health bars?

 

[THTB]

How unbalanced was budokai 1?

Very. Guard cancelling was a glitch in Budokai 1, intentional in every other installment, though. And because Dimps didn't expect this glitch, most strings weren't tailored around this. Only Goku and Frieza possessed good enough strings to take advantage of this. Budokai 2 was better about it, but it wasn't until they really began to diversify the cast in Budokai 3 that everything actually fell into place.

 

[THTB]

Did all tournament games use 6 health bars?

No, the general consensus was 4 health bars, but the way people probably play the game today, 3 is just fine.

 

[haketh]

THe DBZ Budokai games along with the Nruto Ultimate Ninja and Accel games are some of the best anime fighting games.

Fuck Kiba though in Excel 2 for real though

So goku and frieza shits on everyone in that game?

Yes. Goku especially, due to his 4 transformations.

So goku beat everyone free xD. I liked playing as him, 18, frieza and cell tho.

Who was the worst?

I have no idea, since it didn't matter. Budokai 1 was a 2-character game, literally (Insert "I don't wanna hear any MK players bitching about MK balance when this exists" type of yadda-yadda-ya).

i miss playing these games

 

[RM Truth]

I motion we dedicate a thread to this game, so we can talk about mains, strategies, and feelings about the game, like we did for Smite. All in favor?
