What first comes to mind when I think of the Android 13 movie is “don’t you lecture me with your $30 haircut!”. I am SO HAPPY that made it into this video
Yes dude, I was the only one of my friends and siblings who knew this back in the day, so I would drive them crazy that they never could beat me 😂. To this day I never told them how I did it
I love the fact that each dbz game on the ps2 has their own unique feature, meaning that neither of them are obsolete and you have to own each of them for differents reasons (something so rare for long franchise) : - Budokai 1 : the story mode with amazing cut-scenes just like the anime - Budokai 2 : the board game with differents inroads and unique characters (fusions and buu's absorptions) - Budokai 3 : a different story mode for each character (for example since android 19 isn't in this game, when you play as goku and you reach the android saga, you only have to beat Cell since canonically he never fights the androids and was sick for all the saga. Another hint that the original plan was to goku to retire and let his kids (gohan & goten) to be the next main heroes, but that's another topic ;) - Super Dragon ball z : For its street fighter fight style and arcade style - Budokai Tenkaichi 1 : Is unfortunetly the only skippable of all of them, the story mode isn't very interesting and it only introduced the tenkaichi (free-camera) gameplay - Budokai Tenkaichi 2 : Introduced RPG-elements and probably has the most complete and longest story mode of all ps2 dbz games, almost a hundreds fights, they're all there (dbz, the oav, GT). And you can travel on the map just like Budokai 3 - Budokai Tenkaichi 3 : The characters are talking during the fights (something that never happened) and introduced a script system : For exemple, at your 1st fight with Raditz, it's almost impossible to win with goku and piccolo, you just have to wait to push R3 to make the strory continue. Same with Nappa, you fights as tien, chiaotzu, gohan and piccolo and you lose all of them just like the anime. It's a great immersion for dragon ball fans ;) - Infinite world : Introduced mini-games just like the only one in Budokai 1 and just like Budokai 1, you have to beat the story mode one time with only the fights of goku and gohan and then you unlocks the second part of the story mode with all the others characters. The map is also very similar to the board game of Budokai 2 - DBZ sagas : has cut-scenes straight from the anime with unique objectives Sorry for the long comment and for my bad english ;)
I think the reason they have Future Trunks on the American cover is because he's a time traveler, so it's thematically appropriate for him to display Goku's "past, present, and future."
@@extremelegendsupreme4596I don’t mind them not making Future Gohan for this game, it’s already packed with content, but they could have at least given him a costume that made Adult Gohan closer to his special counterpart.
BT2 is probably the game I poured the most time into with my PS2, there's just so much to do and I never found myself bored? It improves on pretty much everything from the first game, which I found myself somewhat disappointed with as a kid. Any critique I'd have is dwarfed by everything else it does right. While other games may do certain things better, I'd say that this is the entry that has a little something for everyone.
Zarbon's story is actually my second favorite what if throughout all the games. First being Raditz. They sorta made him compelling to me with his obsession and plotting ending in tragedy. it made me think what could have followed after Goku was wished back to Earth. If Goku would have wished him back as a way of thanks & how everything would have changed..
Fantastic video. I really appreciate how thorough you are, including things like going over the towers which no one else I've seen talk about this game even mentions.
@EvanPrice - You are definitely one of the best retrospective channels I have come across, and even though I came across your channel about 2 months ago, I've watched every single one of your videos. Very insightful and really great, I cannot recommend your channel enough. Much love for the channel man!
The Wii version is the absolute best version of Tenakichi 2 and 3. The motion controls aren’t overbearing and when they *are* utilized, they make such a huge difference in the immersion
Man, I love Turles, the ORIGINAL Goku black. I like how his' tree of might is also a reverse Genki-dama. Also the cell games is a survival mode so you don't fully heal/get treated like in normal world tournament.
32:43-32:53 Which is strange considering neglected fictional characters in general are less inclined to be “normal” than their saturated counterparts due to lack of normalization within the public lexicon
That Raditz what if story has always stuck with me even though I haven't touched T2 in a good 15 years, I remember it really making me sad as a kid to see him redeem himself and still die in the end. I haven't played this game since I got 3 but with how much better the story mode is I might have to give it another shot.
26:18 Fun fact. If you win the tournament as Hercule, you actually get different dialogue of him celebrating his victory. Just, good luck winning with Hercule, lmao.
47:15 I feel like the length is a plus though. As a kid this game legitimately gave me hundreds of hours of content. We didn’t get games often, so when a game really gave us our moneys worth, that was a fantastic thing
Let me just go ahead and get this outta the way before any more misinfo pops up: Tenkaichi 2 IS the best game out of the series. What I mean by this is, the tech in T2 is LEAGUES above the others and honestly, ANY 3d fighter period. Tenkaichi 3 ended up adding more characters, a few combo extensions (for worst honestly) and streamlining the mechanics and if you play both back to back (and you actually know what you’re doing) you’ll realize all that you’re missing.. Most will tell you Tenkaichi 2 only had a better story mode (or soundtrack), Lol but I’m sorry, I can’t let this idea keep being spread. These are 2 different games. T2 will sadly forever be overshadowed by the last installment *Amazing analysis overall though my guy! Love the respect you give these games!
@@evprince Oh trust me, T3 is still amazing in it’s own right! I’m just coming from a place of 20 years with this series and the conversation I’ve seen growing up. One of the best trilogies out, it’s just all of them are misunderstood in their own ways Lol
@@Meelow-jp8lb I mean yeah people will have their preferences on what which game has. But you can decipher and scale which one executes “better” than the other. MK11 vs MK1 for example. There’s a lot of preference in the whole “T2 vs T3” debate, but people never factor in the things that make T2 ACTUALLY shine that T3 DOESNT have… Which was my original point (although T2 Elitist as Hell Lol)
My childhood best friend and I played this game all the time. The amount of crazy battles we had.. couldn’t even put a number on it. I’ve always liked this more than 3 , probably just personal bias from the good fights with a good friend.
As good as Sparking zero looks, sometimes it looks too good for its own good because there's so much flash sometimes I find it hard to see what the heck is going on. The Tenkaichi games had a great balance of flash and visibility.
"I'm glad it doesn't use the music from the anime" and this is why we can't have nice things. Hell no, that's a negative. I want the music, i want the full anime experience in the game. Only Japan got that right.
Being reminded of BT2´s absolutely extensive campaign mode through this and recently having replayed BT3 Im really wondering whatever happened. BT3´s Dragon...whatever is so hugely downscaled and unambitious its borderline hilarious. Sure they put some more work into the Ultimate Battle mode but...man the campaign is just a disgrace. Also,nice seeing someone else appreciate the old movies these days. :D
i'm in the crowd of people who *still* play TK2 and just like to hear people talking about this and am also pretty stoked that we're getting a new game, it's pretty wild
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. ✌️
For years people have been telling me bt2 is better than BT3 but it’s really not due to roster limitations . A lot of those fights are repetitive and the same battles . BT3 makes better use of its new characters while also having multiple stages in one chapter as well as background dialogue and changing endings . BT3 might cover less but does wayyyy more with what it has than bt2 . I mean why would you want to play future trunks saga with buu saga gohan ?there are many examples of this in bt2. Ssj4 goku being used for every single gt fight is another example
You have to mess with the settings a bit, there's tutorials on RU-vid I used one of those. I think the version of the emulator you're using matters too.
I'm hoping we get a tournament mode like the big tournament mode in sparking zero I like the randomness of the opponents on the bracket and want a randomness in regards to stages to go along with it. What would make it even better would be the ability to pick however many of your favorite stages to randomly bounce around between and maybe playing as a diff character every match like the Yamcha tournament in bt 3 does if I'm not mistaken
I came to the US from Mexico and didnt speak English, the only thing I could relate to was DBZ. My brother and I had a PS2 but I didn’t know what was a memory card. So we played it many times just to lose all the progress but never beat it cuz of that. I remember we spent a whole Saturday just to beat the campaign and actually did. But lost all 12 hrs of progress 😂😂. Simpler time can’t wait for sparkling zero
By the way, this is actually my favorite dbz game on the ps2. It's the most complete and I think it's the one with the best gameplay (with the rpg/tactics damages elements ... The fact that you have to guard up or down on how about your opponent will attack, etc ...). But It just feels a little weird to say the game is too long but maybe it's because you weren't ready for it, you didn't except this ;) For me, it was like saying that a GTA was too long (I mean, it's meant to be ^^). But also, we live in a time when video-games are shorter than usual just to make "easy-money" :(
@@evprince By the way, if you want a little advice/hint for Tenkaichi 3's story mode : when you see the icon R3, press it. It's not only meant for changing characters but it's also use to move on the story/events because the story mode of Tenkaichi 3 is very scrypted. They wanted to make it as accurate as the manga/anime :)
38:47 I will continue to say that no, not every character plays virtually the same. Yes they might if all you're doing is mashing square, sometimes pressing triangle and throwing in the occasional super/ultimate move. Yes they'll be the same because your doing the same thing over and over again. ru-vid.com/group/PLyLi4eHTgFgbOEdSq7Pc4z6LRl1BpMG9b&si=p4voY6jbGRXbSVdu ^This playlist shows you how different characters can be and different the gameplay can be or has change across all 3 Budokai Tenkaichi games.
I remember bought this game from Walmart Holmes Rd Memphis Tennessee same month I drove in 1997 red Ford Escort four door went to Walmart game section all I see trunks holding up sword I didn't know the game was released and I got cash so I went to the counter as for the game then bought it and unlocked everything
With the chance now here, I want to hear your thoughts on this: Every Fusion except Kefla, Z Gotenks, Super Gogeta and Gogeta Blue is carried by the games. (Aka, Super Vegito, SSJ4 Gogeta, and Vegito Blue). Reasons: 1. Super Vegito did about two attacks, the Candy beat down on Buu, and Spirit Sword. Spirit Sword has very lame animation, and isn't as epic as it's portrayed in the games. And besides that, all Vegito did (That was memorable) was talk. 2. Ssj4 Gogeta, we all know, no need to explain. 3. First of all, Vegito Blue was never even meant to be in the Future arc. And the only memorable thing he did was the Final kamehameha which was about 9 seconds. Him punching Zamasu was popularized by Fighterz, proving my point. All he did was some basic punches, generic comboes, a spirit sword that lasted about 30 seconds, and yeah, that's it. The clash he did with Zamasu is epic, but it doesn't redeem the lameness of Vegito. Moving on to the characters NOT carried by the games: 1. Gotenks. He has a creative moveset, his most memorable move being Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack. And (At least to me), his appearance against Buu in the hyperbolic time chamber had some of the, if not the best humor in Dragon Ball. 2. Kefla fought Ui Goku in one of the most iconic Dragon Ball Fights. 3. Super Gogeta has amazing animation, and that single combo he did on Janemba is milked like crazy. He's not exaggerated, he's just as he is in the movie he originates from. 4. Gogeta Blue is arguably the only Fusion that LOOKS powerful. Lore wise, every fusion is stupid strong, but Gogeta Blue is portrayed that way much better than any other fusion. These are just my opinions, but the only reason I put them here is to hear anyone elses opinion on them.
The World's Strongest is a top 5 Z movie. I'll die on that hill. Tree of Might is Ass City. Bio Broly is the only Z movie I haven't seen more than twice, so take that as you will. You're spot on on your GT take. Omega Shenron and the concept of the Shadow Dragons *IS* the perfect antagonist to close a perfect series. Alas, the garbage story that is "Super" had to happen. In my mind, GT is much more canon than S (which isnt at all due to shitting all over Zs established rules/lore).
It might be because I watched it as a kid, but I kinda like Tree of Might a lot. Yeah, Goku gets his ass kicked pretty much the whole time, but the movie is pretty cool as an allegory to steroids and the wild west shoot out ending between the spirit bomb and Turles's attack
@amuroray88 there's no signature (super cool badass) moment that I can recall in Tree of Might that alone justifies watching it. Most movies have more than one i.e. Goku going SSJ in Coolers Revenge + the dope lines in that movie ("Deep fried Namek! How yummy!" "Eat this."), or in the World's Strongests case, Roshi being singled out as the world's strongest is a fun believable setup for an early movie and gave Roshi some time in the spotlight. Then you have Piccolo vs Goku, which is always good, AND a Turtle School Kamehameha. Yes, please. It's always better when more Z fighters get a chance to be impactful, and I debate the impact any but Goku/Gohan had in Tree of Might, which would be fine if they had bad ass moments but they really don't. Gohan ends up naked, that's pretty eveventful, I suppose. In all seriousness, it was more a story of Gohan inadvertently saving the day, which had already been done a couple times in Z and in Dead Zone and isn't particularly interesting to me when that's the only real thing of note that happens.
@@MrAweeze again, I love the Spirit bomb showdown in tree of might. Turles dominated Goku more than any other movie villain. Even more than Broly in the sense that Goku at least got shots in against Broly before he went legendary and once he absorbed everyone's power. I don't think Goku got any hits in even before Turles ate the fruit, and got rocked afterwards. So it made it ironic that the very thing that made Turles invincible killed him in the end.
@amuroray88 hey I'm glad someone likes it. To be fair though, since you brought it up, even though goku "got shots in" vs broly, it was virtually the same as literally doing nothing at all.
So super which was written by the original creator of the series is not canon to you but a series that wasn't made by the original creator is canon? I'll never understand that logic some people like you have?
5:34 the SAME EXACT WAY that you feel about the OVERBEARING amount of dialog that they piled on in this game is the EXACT WAY that i feel about the HEAPS of excessive character dialog in DBS. it's just unnecessary. i understand "getting the point across to the viewer" but the way that they would just TALK NONSTOP, it's extremely annoying
