    Great video, Evan. Personally, this was my first ever Dragon Ball game. Back then, all I was just a little kid and I didn't know what anime was or anything like that. All I knew was that Dragon Ball Z was a cartoon on TV that had videogames made of it. In fact, it was only like 5 or 6 months ago I actually decided to watch Dragon Ball for the first time after avoiding it for years and years. I always heard people say that all the anime was is just the characters screaming at each other and powering up for like 50 episodes straight. I thought that sounded mind numbingly boring so I never gave it a chance. The thing that ultimately got me to watch it was a video by Totally Not Mark talking about the horrible DBZ home releases, which lead me down a rabbit hole that I found incredibly interesting and made me want to watch the show for myself in the best quality I could. So I basically binged the entire series from Dragon Ball to Super (+ GT, Super DB Heroes and Super's Manga). Now I would consider myself to be a Dragon Ball fan and I'm surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. Anyways, back to Tenkaichi. My memories are quite vague from the time, but all I can remember is playing the game with my dad. We were both terrible at the game and didn't know what we were doing, but we still had fun. I pretty sure I ended up trading in the game at EB Games, probably to get like a few dollars for it or something. But an interesting thing about me at that time is that I loved taking pictures. My grandparents bought me a digital camera, which i still have today and I used to take pictures of the games I rented and bought before trading them in or returning them. One of those games was Budokai Tenkaichi, which I still have that photo on that camera to this day. Other tidbits from that time I can recall is that there were two stages I'd always like to play in. It was the one where Vegeta got rekt by Android 18 and the Cell Games Arena.

    I feel like the 2nd student Kyle saw turn to the Dark Side was Gantoris. Barkiss's whole evil thing didn't happen until 5 years after Jedi Outcast and only Luke knew Barkiss was a dark side spy. While Gantoris did turn evil due to Exar Kun and was the first student to die. Also, Artusian crystals weren't being used for Lightsabers. They were used in conjunction with the Valleys power to give the Reborn their Force Powers, probably acting as retainers of power.

    Joshua's story resonates with Christians all around the world, specially many who horribly fell and found mercy at God's hands at their lowest point and live every day not only with the scars, physical, psychological, or both, from their wrong doings, but sometimes feel tempted to go back to the old ways or, as he says, appease those daemons, while at the same time past tactics, skills and capacities were reshaped into a weirdly good and helpful thing, striving for God's guidance at that.

    Without question this is the weakest of the trilogy it is part of. Two is a MASSIVE step up and Three built on that in all the best ways, with a bunch of little quality of life fixes an additions, like attack names, colors, fleshed out move sets and everything else. Especially movement. BT3 is legendary for a reason: It's the closest any of us got to playing the anime for a good long while.

    I didn't get why loads of people whined about not getting a saber from the get go. The shooting mechanics were decent and worked well with the first levels, and besides; it fit with the narrative and made re-acquiring one that much more impactful. For me they made the right choice, but then phaps I'm not impatient by nature.

    We need to stop acting like the first two games weren't trash, lol. It took 3 tries to make a decent game. Tenkaichi is not the first arena game, Virtual-On is. Arena games, especially these microwaved anime ones, are very inexpensive and cheap to make compared to an actual fighting game. That's why they get pumped out so quickly and have so many homogeneous characters.😂

  • @zKenshi
    @zKenshi День тому

    FYI They skipped those fights you mentioned because they were not in the manga and were Anime exclusive. The fat buu vs gotenks fight is non cannon and is an off-screen gag fight (vs the full fight in the Anime), and in the manga Vegito immediately goes Super Saiyan after fusing. Also I think you noticed this but there are a lot of visual bugs on the emulated version you are playing here. That extreme ghosting and those random lines. Might be better off using the Wii version for Tenkaichi 2 to avoid these graphical errors.

Was excited to play as one cause the box art then learned when playing it you’re on the other side lol. Idk if they fixed anything but I played this on the hd trilogy for ps3 and don’t remember having issues but could be remembering wrong. Excited to see rest of the series. The vita game is my favorite and I spent hours on that one’s multiplayer. I liked killzone 4 but didn’t enjoy it as much as vita one sadly.

    Despite all the DBZ games that have come out over the years, BT1 has the most badass and authentic Intro of all of DBZ games of the Franchise. BT2 and BT3 in my opinion still remains the most Unique and the best DBZ games in terms of content, quality and fanservices. And from the gameplay perspective aspects, these DBZ games that I mentioned are very close to the anime itself because of the Vibe and Charm, I don't know how to describe it but it was, and still is the most Unique DBZ experience you could have with the combat factor. (- Sheer amount de of characters - Transformations mid-battle (powering up and down) - Fusions mid-battle - Fast gameplay that has that "woah" feel - Tons of extra content - Story mode covering all sagas + movies - What If sagas - Shenron having permanent impact on game (character unlocks and whatnot) - Great tournaments that rotate availability - Edit characters with items (buffs) - 5v5 battles - Really Great and Epic Soundtracks - Destroyable environments - Entire stages could be blown up into their "destroyed" alternatives - Mission 100 being a great challenge - Artwork is 10/10 - Sound effects are great - Combat feels heavy and satisfying) Only Budokai 3, Infinite World and the Raging Blast 1 and 2 and all of PSP DBZ games except of Dragon Ball Z Evolution are still considered also very solid DBZ games, also the hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective. 🤷🏻‍♂️☯️✌️

    Pretty sure (at least, from a non dev perspective) the reason there aren't so many base form then redo the fight as ssj this time, is because it'd be some mega padding and be kinda tedious Really weird that they got ssj4 Gogeta in this game and no Omega, the weirdest omission to me in any game (least until Sparking Zero comes out and we see that full base roster)

    Please check out the Tenkaichi 4 Mod Edit: Of course after you review the rest of the trilogy. Its a great mod that's built off of Tenkaichi 3. Adds characters from Dragon Ball Super, As well as updated the main story to add events from Super. To unlock everything you just unlock characters and stages as you normally would with the normal Tenkaichi 3. Its still being updated. Check out gameplay footage on youtube if your curious.

  • @BenderBendingRodriguezOFFICIAL

    Part of the reason the show hasn't been the same is because Faulconers score is missing. This isn't just nostalgia, it's objectively true that a lot of those tracks really worked, especially when characters are recalling events. The music he composed played a significant role in defining the atmosphere and emotional impact of the show for many viewers in the West. Regarding plagiarism, that's a serious accusation and it would have been reported at some point in the media given how big his role in the western production of DBZ actually was. In the world of music composition, especially for media, it is not uncommon for composers to be influenced by existing works, but influence and inspiration do not equate to plagiarism. I don't mind the super score, but I always hated the Japanese score for DBZ. Hated it back then, I still hate it now. Also, I didn't mind dragon rush because I actually played this with friends growing up. They didn't mind it either. It IS bad against the CPU though.
