Is Tenkaichi 3 the best DBZ game? - Analysis 

Huge congrats. 500 here we come!

@@MrSuperbowser1 Thanks :D

Thank you for making this video. I had the exact experience you did. I played all the Budokai games and the Budokai 3 is the best one. I played Tenkaichi and hated it so I didn't play the other two. After viewing I will def go back and try this one. What an awesome video. Def sub.

This was such a dope video! Subscribed 😊

@@HiddenChannel God I love this game so much

In my childhood. Everyone of my freinds used to control 2 to 4 characters. Not easy to know how you control the others, every single one. But, not too hard to be used to a single character. And, everyone was happy controling his character perfectly, and having fun playing this game, for 6 hours straight, every day.

In terms of complexity it is nowhere near as difficult as shin budokai 2 or even tenkaichi 2 in terms of the lock off movement and combo extensions

@@Someguy96Lx how is tenkaichi 2 not 95% the same game as 3?

@@Benjmensch they look very similar but at the highest level they play very differently. A lot of elements were taken out of tenkaichi 3 from 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Zsi30_hIEo.html

@@Benjmensch Play them... BT2 has more complex combo schemes.

for like 60% of the characters of BT3 you would have to pay 3 DLCs in today games

@@valdelamer3903 this is why i am not all that hyped for the offical BT4. they will lock most of the rooster behind season passes.

​@@FrancisYorkMorganFBII am willing to pay if they can get every single character but that's a pipe dream.

Damn, I understood that PERFECTLY 🤣💯 I get more of a DBZ quick and intense feel from those 2 even though this one gives a much more cinematic and big experience

FighterZ and Budokai 3 don't even belong in the same category. A DBZ game that doesn't have beam clashes, sonic sway, and super/ultimate attack deflects is just a cheap skin and cash grab. No matter how good it LOOKS.

@@Cautious_Gamer You have got to be high if you think FighterZ is a cash grab. Hands down the best DragonBall Z game without question. Bet you got bodied by someone and now you just shit talk the game.

@@LordRaiden242 tbf i see his point. I personally didn't like fighterz for some of the same reasons but I can't deny that it is a deep and complex fighter easily on the level of Capcom fighters while budokai 3 can be pretty unbalanced with characters like Broly and Omega Shenron.

Tenka 3 has better fighting system than budo 3 or fighter z

Lol, that tournament didnt get higher then strong difficulty 😅 so i haven't really experienced it like that😅 the most difficult tournament was the random one. Since you could end up with Hercule🤣

For sure :D

I've never been a fan of Budokai 3 personally. The rock-paper-scissors mechanic ruined it for me. The Tenkaichi games are more preferable for me.

@@Y-two-K From the opposite side of the spectrum; I was a massive Budokai 3 fanboy for years after BT3 came out. As far as I was concerned, "BT3 [was] a bad fighting game, therefore a bad game, and therefore Budokai 3 was 'objectively' better." There was even a point where I'd have argued that the Raging Blast games were better because they were more streamlined. It wasn't until after Xenoverse 2 that I went back and replayed the older games without my nostalgia goggles on and realized that not only was BT3 easily one of the best games in the franchise but that I had drastically underestimated the depth of the combat in the game (because I had a PS2 and there was only local MP; meaning I only had my noob friends and younger brothers to play against - never needed more advanced techniques to stomp them). When compared to the melee combat of the Raging Blast and Xenoverse series, BT3 is an ocean to their puddles. RB and XV made the combat very, very spam-friendly by removing melee combat options (both offensive and defensive; things like directional smash attacks, sonic sway, and Z counter were left out more and more) and refocusing the core combat around "charge ki > stun enemy > throw special/ultimate." And Budokai 3 becomes a chore to play on Hard or higher because the AI just spams Hyper Mode & Dragon Rush non-stop.

@@Madara8989 raging blast is doubtlessly deeper that BT3.

@@bigboss6145 It's really not though, not unless your familiarity with the gameplay mechanics only extend as far as what the tutorials explain. Sure, if you only compare what's taught in the tutorial, it may seem like RB has more depth because it goes into detail about "signature attacks" and "cancel combos," whereas BT3 doesn't have the "signature skill" function and expects players to find the cancels and combos themselves (ala the way fighting games traditionally handle cancels & combos). But once you get into actually playing the game against other people who are just as capable of shitstomping the CPU on "Very Hard," you start seeing the limits of the two games. Raging Blast revolves entirely around charging your ki and spamming your special movies while de-emphasizing the melee combat by removing the more complex hand-to-hand combat mechanics from the game in exchange for the same loop of "use stat buff special and/or Wild Sense/Afterimage Strike to stack things in your favor > knock back/stun enemy > use rush-down special > charge ki while enemy recovers > exploit the fact that the game resets players after Rush-Down supers by putting them within range of another by using it again the moment they begin the "stand up" animation and lock them into a "combo" that's just one player repeating the same move over and over because there's nothing to prevent them from doing so (especially since, unlike BT3, Rush-Down supers are positive on block by guard break & staggering the target while having practically no recovery frames for the attacker). There are tons of things you can do in BT3 that you can't do in Raging Blast, but the only thing you can do in Raging Blast but not BT3 is utilize the new "signature attack" that each character has. That's not even getting into how busted RB's customs mode is compared to BT3 thanks to the higher-end equip skills utterly breaking the game like allowing you to create a character who can't be stunned by anything except Super moves, (effectively rendering the melee combat unusable for your enemy) or the "Random Vanish" equip that allows players to not only ignore the entire defensive aspect of the gameplay (by putting the responsibility of learning to Vanish entirely on the computer), but also Vanish when it would otherwise be impossible (like Vanishing a multi-hit attack mid-block or allowing them to Vanish all of the hits from a multi-hit attack because the skill "rolls the dice" with every hit).

couldn't have said it any better. The closest we got to this was with the first raging blast

I disagree, the best DBZ game I want to say is really just what you want out of DBZ games. I can't deny tenkaichi has the most content especially for single player and captures Dragon ball perfectly but I don't see it as the best gameplay wise as well as it's flaws. it's the opposite for me which I like fighterz and super DBZ a lot more because the depth/creativity/techs/setups are all there and has a lot more to its gameplay that makes it more fun. It always gets me to go back playing it. I can understand why casuals prefer tenkaichi because it's easy to get into but I don't see anything wrong with competitive as well long as the game balancing isn't too bad

@@EXFOOLYCOOLY FighterZ balance is not great right now but I otherwise agree with your points. BT3 was more accessible and captured the essence of Dragon Ball probably better than any other title

@@EXFOOLYCOOLY I don't considers fighterz a bad game, I just feel its mechanics doesn't fit in something you can call Dragonball. Take Tenkaichi as exemple: it seems a game modeled after the anime. They took inspiration for mechanics entirely from dragonball. Flaws or not, it feels being Dragonball, and people love it because of this, despite its problems. What I get from fighterz is the opposite. They already have mechanics models from other similiar games and thought "Let's fuse this mechanics with dragonball". Result: a good game, but which feels not a dragonball game. I feel a weird sensation playing that game, like it was an artificial reduction of what dragonball is. Personally, if I had to imagine a dragonball fighting game, Tenkaichi is what is closer to its essence. FighterZ is just a game who resembles street fighter/MK in gameplay but has DB characters. Nothing to say about it being better on the competitive side, or better in balacing etc. but for me this isn't enough, because it just doesn't feel dragonball. I'm not against the game existance because it's a good thing for people who likes it. It's just that we need a pure dragonball game too

I mean, you can be a tryharder if you want, there's a massiva gap in this game.

Well, I got some news for you haha

@@MrNasexD The best news!!!

Main reason it’s the goat

Thanks so much. I think I might have to try out a few modes, they look awesome

Budokai 3 or Budokai Tenkaichi 3?

Budokai 3 is the best one. Not tenkaichi 3. The psp ones shin budokai were also amazing.

@@j6027 budokai 3 was flawed do too that hyper armor into rush. Slowed the whole game down or put you into a rock paper match

Infinite world is where it's at

Thanks for watching all 3 videos and I'm gad you enjoyed them. Infinite World is defiantly a game I want to cover at some point. I never got to play it and I'm interested to see if it's as good as budokai 3.

@@HiddenChannel you should try it, if has its flaws but its the best way they ended the budokai series with

you and me both crazy how the other dragonballz budokias got a remake but they skipped over this one for some reason, hopefully one day they will remake it.

Youre in luck

I haven't played any of the xenoverse games

The visuals for Xenoverse were too distracting for me. Between the lock on indicator and all the shininess I find it takes away from the immersion

The game is fun but if you haven't watched the series and you're the type of person to play anime games instead of watch then I suggest finding another game for that

It's for what if so they don't repeat the same thing over and over. Every mission has a ton of what if scenarios built in. The broly mission I lost to broky and got an ending. I beat broky with goku and got an ending, I survived until roshi came then beat broky with roshi and got an ending.

Dude, you could literally defeat Super Perfect Cell as SSJ2 Gohan before allowing any cutscenes to appear. By not finishing a level of the story mode as intended, you will receive extra lines of the characters!

Soon you will be a dbz expert, without having experienced any of it lol

I didn’t know that after all these years

Woah

For real?? I want to see that, that's dope 💯

this is true on ps2 as well.

can only be with goku beginning (or goku mid) with ss1, i think?

Hello, I'm here for the Burst Limit fan congregation. Are there snacks?

Yeah in some parts it has you doing stuff. I ended up editing down the part where I talk about the tutorial because it was too long but I kinda of regret how I did it because it doesn't convey it very well.

Oh yeah emulator's just makes things so much more accessible

That sad man and you can’t find this game on physical without it being in the triple digits. I have a copy I cherish to this day. I seen a copy in 2nd Charles for $110.00 dollars!!! And some copies online are 200+. It’s rarer than budokai 3 to find.

Same here I used to play it when I was little but only at my cousin's house I barely bought it not that long ago from ebay and it was like 80 bucks without the box lol but it was worth it

@@HiddenChannel don't tell Nintendo that

@@3rdwavemedia906 I bought this game for ps2 a couple years ago for 15€

Played It Yesterday with a friend,i fell in love with DBS Broly,too strong!!!

Thanks for watching :D

It now really exist!!!

Love DBZ League. I wish it got more recognition! It's really fun to watch.

Right?

Well... it seems that the stars have aligned

@@Assadar5402 they sure did, life good
