8 Overlooked Details in Budokai Tenkaichi 4! (Sparking Zero Gameplay Breakdown) 

We got Kakunsa! lmao Also, I forgot to mention that non flying characters, such as Roshi, will slowly descend like they did in previous games. 11:17 A 22+ minute of Secrets in DBZ games is coming up next Friday! 😇

My only wish with this game is that Akira Toriyama could have lived to see it release. Rest in Peace.

Changing the base speed is such a great change to me. Because the base movement speed in the old Tenkaichi games was actually so slow you would basically always be pressing X whenever you move so it made perfect sense to make that the default speed. And I bet we will still be able to move slowly by just pushing the stick halfway like how you make yourself in walk in most games.

There was a button input to break out of combos in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 too, but if you used it, it drained your health by about a bar. I forget the exact button input, but it was there indeed

11:41 broly's explosive wave attack has multiple of those blasts coming out of it, its a reference to that bit in the broly movie also seen in his Meteor Shower super attack in DBFZ. the sphere blast is gonna be the initial attack but those additional blasts he fires off will also be attacks that can catch the opponent

I loved how the screen shaked in Ultimate Tenkaichi when you were powering up. I'm so glad to see that in Sparking Zero. Makes you feel powerful.

the smoke making way for vegeta's ki bIasts _is the cooIest damn thing_

"And finish it up from behind" Kadazee-2024

I never noticed Goku lost his target 8:06

Fun fact you didn’t mention: the beam deflect mechanic in SZ is actually a reference from RB2.

9:17 I'm not going to lie, I played BT2/3 for years and never learned how to do the Z-counter. I just got used to anticipating the counter, vanishing out of the way... and winning the conga line that often started up.

I noticed Goku’s grunts when he’s fighting and getting hit sound like his old voice clips from the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 games.

4:45 That combo string shown in Sparking Zero does exist in BT3, but only some characters like Bardock can perform it. Pick Bardock, and do the string: 3xSquare, 2xTriangle, Square. But there are some differences on S!Z's one, for example, the fact that it starts with Heavy Finish, while BT3 starts with Rolling Hammer, and also the extra hit S!Z's string does, since it's 4 while in BT3 it's 3.

Yeah, I was surprised seeing the explosive wave attack. The counterattack is something that's gonna be interesting, I wonder what other energy attacks we'll be able to counter? I'm hoping that gameplay, just as well as presentation, goes hand in hand.

you can actually completely Break Free of a combo by sacrificing HP by tapping L1 it's a very useful tactic also they did take a little bit more gameplay from Raging Blast I'm curious to see how this will play out big hopes and dreams for it

7:38 The way it looks I think it's more likely the comeback of the burst mode from Raging Blast, the purple aura on the ki bar, the ki bar depleting gradually over time, the sky going darker and the very long combos, all seem to fit

With the addition of spark 0, i hope your channel would be booming with vids any reference they have. I will wait!

I was just thinking about your video as it has been long

This video made it so much easier to see what was happening in the trailer. Thank you bro

I know this is super minor, but I noticed a small mistake. Goku in base form at the beginning of this fight has the correct boots he wears during the Broly movie, being blue with red lines and yellow laces, which he started wearing during the android saga up until now. After he takes battle damage from the galick gun, the boots switch to what he wears from the beginning of Z until the end of the Frieza saga, being blue with yellow lines and red laces. After he transforms into super saiyan blue, his boots change back to what he wears from the android saga forward, being blue with red lines and yellow laces again. I used to draw DBZ a lot when I was younger, which is why I noticed this.

Man, your analising got me really hyped about the game! I can´t wait for the game to be released and test all the characters to see all the effort put into the attention to details 🤩🤩

Bro It's always a good day when Kadazee posts a video

the goat, i can't wait to see you break down this game

Finally was waiting for your video

Thank you for putting out this video! I didn't notice that Z-counter were still in the game. I'm even more hyped for this game now.

5:52 my GOD, I just noticed the speed of the Kamehameha, they may look kinda skinnier (the beams I mean), not a fan of that but also not important, but holy cow, that beam is running a marathon. Maybe it's because of the already good speed the game might offer plus I believe the stages are gonna be way bigger than in the PS2 versions

8:45 This made me tear up from happiness

Your video brought me more hype than ever. This game will be spectacular My only issues are the camera and the beam attacks. The beam attacks look thin, and I need them to be a bit wider (especially with the ultimate attacks)

Right on time, I was just waiting for this video

Been waiting for this upload

9:49 So. Much. PAIN.

3:21 Raging Blast 2 has always been my favorite game

Nice tribute/ gameplay

1:40 imagine being able to reflect ki blast vollies as well. The animation for that is going to go crazy

00:28, back in bt3 majority characters has the option to double click (L1) to do a wave(cost some HP) if i remember correctly to counter locng combos 02:45, this was accessible to some of the top characters(gogeta,gogeta SS4, i think ultimate gohan had it as well), But conditional is that they had to have their KI at max(blue), does cost some ki by clicking (O) if i am not wrong

Great video! And I’m also awaiting the side step/ melee range movement too. I hope it’s fluid like BT3 but honestly after your video I’m confident they will stick to the roots.. also if you double tap L1 while getting hit.. you can break the combo in exchange for health in BT3.. if they removed that then I’ll be ok withthe easy 2BS counter.. but if that’s still in the game.. it’s going to be a nightmare against people who just want to run away and only do super moves.

Everyone focuses on the clashes being a timing-based button press more similar to the Budokai games, but there's also a Boost button which I think may be a callback to the less-known technique (one that I didn't know at least) of being able to invest extra ki into a beam clash.

10:13 The Analog Sticks don't have suffer anymore.....For now.

I love this channel❤ even more excited for this game

Great video! one thing no one talks about is that when the beam clash happens it shattered the dimension!

A couple details not mentioned: -Roshi slowly falls, which confirms that non flight characters will be a thing - The explosive wave broly does is similar to an attack in fighterz (and the movie), where he explodes with energy and projectiles also come out to follow up afterwards

Great vid mane

I got so excited seeing Kakunsa because literally nobody asked for her

3:12, I thought this was a screen shot from the show

10:05 I put a lot of work & time into that guide. I hope it helps everyone. Thank you for showing that. 🙏 4:12 There's actually something important to note about this & it isn't related to Tenkaichi 3's Tri Attack which you used as a comparison. The natural follow-up Goku did in the showcase to a full power smash was followed by a mechanic called the Vanishing Attack which is done by pressing your ki button (Triangle for PS2 scheme) after a full power smash, however Goku did 2 of them. In Tenkaichi 3, by default you had only one, but in Raging Blast every single character had 2 Vanishing Attacks & 2 Pursuit Attacks. There is also one more detail & you have to pause it at 6:53 & go frame by frame; when Vegeta is in Max Power mode, he teleports to a different spot & a small portion of his ki completely vanishes as he reappears. I have good reason to believe that is High Speed Movement from Tenkaichi 3. I sincerely hope it is.

Can't wait for the game to come out, so you can make a video, explaining every callback, hidden details and more in Sparkling Zero. Great video brother 💯

Bro thank you for the high effort videos. You’re going to have so much content to put out when Sparking Zero comes out lol

Nice of you to bring up Grand Master Hawk’s tutorials! I find them really helpful for learning the advances mechanics of bt3! If you want to see more, look at Paige’s tutorials.

i like how the smoke after the blasts is dynamic and reacts to movement or attacks and moves accordingly

You sound kinda like Falcon from Gameranx! So soothing, great video too! 🖤

Amazing video 👍

I'm so glad Burter I back, I just played TB3 for the first time last week and he was definitely my favorite to play

1:00 correction, every character can press L1 + L1 to make an explosive wave exchanging hp to break the combo, and also exist the Counter-Z mechanic that can counter EVERY melee attack in the game (including grabs), also, heavy finishes, rolling hammer, up+triangle, down+triangle aren't considered "safe attacks", that mean that they are vanisheable (pressing circle in the exact moment leads you to your opponent's back), so technically explosive waves and barrier aren't the only way to break a combo. anyway, my thoughts are similar to yours, i think the game in terms of attacking will not disappoint but... the movement it's what im worried about, we don't know how good will be, i also think the original movement system from the tenkaichi's maybe can be improvable but, it was so good anyways that i think they need to be a little bit conservative and attach a little bit more to the original movement system, but hope that im wrong. the graphic style of the game it's good, but i personally prefer the original from the tenkaichi's, it seems more manga and Z anime accurate, but that's a personal preference, but i mention it because i think a lot of people will accord with me on that.

if only this game had local multiplayer

Yeah I was waiting for your review video after watching that trailer 😅😅

7:20 you completely missed it- it’s from raging blast 2. Raging soul. The advanced combos will go crazy

When I saw the gameplay drop, i was curious what your thoughts were, YOUR VIDS ROCK

11:43 Broly's explosive wave shoots some ki blasts too if you look at the right you can see some ki blasts flying randomly, pretty cool ngl

Another great video bro!!! I think they increased the movement speed based off the fact that the arenas will be larger in this game plus the large size characters like Great Ape Vegeta will be larger as well so it would have been unbalanced if the movement remained slow in a larger setting. Guess they want us to cover more ground fast since there is more space to work with.

This video got me more hyped than anything else I saw

0:50 there was also this 1 thing everyone had where they could do kind of an explosive wave type of move, but that was so rarely (if at all) usefull because of the fact it takes 1 healthbar

It's a good day when KaDazee posts!

Hey I love the vids btw in the trailer i think burter and jeice did a team attack but i am not really sure

I loved the analogy stick rotation it showed the struggle to beat you opponents🤷🏾‍♂️

these video are so great to watch

This breakdown gives a really clear explanation of how Sparking Zero's gameplay is used. Still hyped for the game.

I was just waiting for your vidéo 😂

This man's videos heal my soul every time

2:46 That looked a lot like Super Moovement (or however it was officially translated in English) in Tenkaichi 3, some characters like for example Mecha Freezer in Max Power mode could do them when pressing circle ⭕️, not the same as you could do it anywhere, but nothing prevented you from using it like it was shown in the video besides it was a little more difficult as you needed the precision of pointing correctly to your opponent. But if you just wanted to caught off guard from the back L2+X+X was very effective and you could always do it as long as you had enough Ki

The deflecting is so dope

I WAS LITERALLY MUST WATCHING YOUR OTHER VIDEOS OMG

I love this man’s videos ngl😁😁

On the revenge counter thing, it was a feature in bt3. Double tap L1 and it takes some hp to get you out

6:59 the Hit counter glitches here and says "29" instead of "10"

Lets goooo🔥🔥🔥

9:06 that Kick looks for me like what he did to Jiren after the destructro disk in ToP

IM SO HYPEDD

0:33 Huh? You can break out of a Rush assault by using Z Counter (Up + Square) just before getting hit. Everyone has it.

Really looking forward to this game. The BT series were one of my favorite games.

Fantastic I didn’t know you started talking

So glad that the GOAT is back in action

at 7:40 when vegeta finishes powering up and activates sparking mode there is a huge shockwave and a big cloud of smoke and then he comes flying out of it. such a cool cinematic detail

That teleport move that's apart of the new mechanics looks a lot like the rush rapid movement from the old Tenkaichi games

Actually there was a emergency blaster wave you could do by pressing L1 twice in quick succession that took about 3,000 health but got you out of combos. Everybody forgets the move cuz it's absolute trash and in some situations can lead to your opponent getting more damage for free.

Rb2 had the reflect mechanic, glad they implemented that in S0

11:37 I think that references when Broly turns into super saiyan and screams going upwards, when he does that it let's out a lot of ki blasts that Goku tries to deflect in the movie and they end up ripping his clothes off

if you actually look carefully during Broly's super explosive wave, you can see all those ki waves shooting out from him, that last one is probably just a lingering effect. Also seems like Roshi is being handled like in BT3 in terms of "flight"

I personally really like the gameplay that they showed us. The speed of the movement and the new defensive options will add a lot of complexity to the combat. My only complaints are the camera was a bit weird sometimes and the soundeffects for heavy attacks lacked the weight of the original game

You it's gonna be a good day when he posts a new video

Sparkling zero is really gonna be awesome and I'm bit curious if team bt4 ( tentaichi 3 modders) will try to implement a few mechanics into his new mod

About the first one when you said you cant break out of combo, you can when the opponent uses a heavy attack during the combo you can either vanish or z counter

0:40 And also Emergency Blaster Wave.

You know… Globku brought up a great point in one of his recent streams. If you look at the UI on the upper left, you’ll see a “sigil” that almost looks like an arrow pointing upwards “⬆️”. Its like slightly underneath the character portrait. Anyways, Globku pointed out that when Goku and Vegeta transformed they each consumed 3 “points” from the sigil. If you look closely, you’ll see the number on the sigil decreasing after the transformation. Also, The number seems to stop increasing after 3, almost as if it maxes out. It seems that each “point” on the sigil represents a transformation. DBS Goku has 3 confirmed transformations and so does DBS Vegeta, so that theory seems to make sense. But what is mostly intriguing is the fact that they each earn an extra point after transforming (the number seems to max out at one also), which could mean that their potentially is an extra transformation for both characters🤔.

Good stuff

Im gonna love the revenge counter because in past games and even in Raging Blast it got pretty annoying when you would try to go on the offensive but the enemy kept catching you

8:56 Maybe after vegeta hits goku with the final flash and you see his silhouette. It's just goku sensing his ki.

U actually deserve ur views and subs good content…

BT 2 and 3 are my favorite ps2 games, cant wait for this one

I love the 'Super Perception', that's I'm going to come in handy a lot and I always wanted to be able to do that 8:45 I audibly gasped

You can also in BT3 break off from an ennemie's combo by pressing L1 multiple times (works also on Tenkaichi 2 and Tag Team)
