The ArcSys DBZ vs One Piece Tag Fighter 

Hey, personal friend of Traweezie/Jape here he passed away very recently, so his videos online are the last archives of his activity and will be kept up as such to keep this game’s legacy alive. I didn’t know anyone who was personally more into the game than he was. I would legit just log in the game and get my ass beat just so he can have the opportunity to try out whacky stuff on a random Sunday. I would appreciate if this post gets pinned so that people can be aware of how important his channel is going to be especially today.

The crazy thing is that Extreme Butoden was like the 3rd ArcSys DBZ game, and all of them to that point were handheld fighters. DBFZ was a culmination, and the One Piece game was basically a byproduct of that history.

Can't believe Raditz made it into the 3DS game but didn't get added to fighterz lmao

GriffyBones is one of the greatest obscure game connoisseurs I have ever met online. This collaboration is a match made in heaven.

Thanks to everyone for checking out the OPDBZ 3ds games. It means so much to read so many nice and supportive comments about the game. There were many days I felt no one would ultimately care or play about the game, but I loved it so much I just kept playing it. Seeing this now makes it all feel worth it. Thanks so much to GuileWinQuote for doing this, and most of all thanks to Traweezie/Jape. I wouldn't be nearly as passionate about this game without him, and it means the world to me to see so many people in the comments mention nice things about Traweezie.

seeing all the dbz assists made me so happy, the roster in fighterz is fun but you do miss out on those early DB characters like tao and launch. i cant tell you how excited i was when i saw puar as an assist, of all characters

That send off to Traw/ Jape means everything to this video. Man was great to be around and great to talk with. Thanks for this wonderful video encompassing both games and glad to participate in it somehow.

dude; imagine if Arcsys did this kinda thing with these two franchises again? And in the FighterZ engine? The amount of hype would be astronomical.

So THAT where all the db fusion generator sprites came from

Every time I see someone mention a One Piece Fighting Game I always say ArcSys exclusively because of this game

The stiff combo structure is extremely similar to how Pokken came off and what put me off to it as well... after leaving and coming back after some time though, I see now that the game has an in depth system for most of the characters that intertwine well with the systems, like this game! Thanks for shedding light on another relatively slept on fighter.

I always mention Extreme Butoden whenever the topic of arcsys games or DBZ comes up, because it's such a forgotten gem in their library despite getting pretty heavy promotion on the e-shop and in the press at the time. Not Sengoku Basara X levels of obscure (obligatory reminder to do your part and nag Capcom to release ANY OTHER Sengoku Basara game in the west besides 3), but people still tend to gloss over it. Also I, honestly feel like the DS and 3DS were a fine platform for fighting games along side the PSP. Especially with how clicky and precise the D-pad was on the 3DS. The only real weakness of 7th gen handhelds to me is the 4 face buttons rather than 6 or bumpers, but that's a very minor issue compared to the concessions the GBA and GBC had to make. and the fighting game library for both of them is surprisingly rich. Shoutouts to DOA Dimensions for being possibly the best portable fighter ever.

Is it weird that I actually enjoyed Extreme Boutoden( or whatever) a lot more than DBFZ? Something about the way pacing and the limitations of the 3DS just made everything about the game feel so appropriate and rewarding. Great video. I never would have known about the cross over capabilities.

I always wanted Arc Sys to rerelease these 2 games as 1 on console with the ability to choose from either side of the cast.

One day there will be a decent Saint Seiya fighter and it'll be dope. Mark my words

I appreciate the shoutout to Traw. Man was an absolute legend.

Rip traweezie

These two anime are actually awesome, they share some similarities so I think their aura works super well together. Both scream for adventure, specially original DB, and both have a cast based on charisma and quirkiness in their own way.

1:54 Goku EXPLICITELY aimed that 1 inch punch to his opponent balls

Shoutouts to Griffy

Man I desperately want ArcSys to work on a fighterZ styled One Piece game. They've already made this game so there's still hope that someday they might make it again.

So Fighterz got some animations from this game, I'm honestly pretty impressed and shocked that this wasn't introduced in the west.

Its really cool to see how many of these sprites and animations were re-used and polished for dragon ball FighterZ

What made this more amazing than the crossover itself is that it was two different games combined to make one Imagine if somehow FighterZ and Strive did that (Like the Goku mod in Strive)

Hold on babe, new guilewinquote video just dropped.

I met Griffybones and Traweezie through these games. I helped out with getting the final updates to allow crossplay using a modded 3DS and also helped hunt for the store exclusive assists that we thought were lost to time. I also helped put up translations for the menus and some guides to help newcomers get started. Griffy and Jape really put the effort in and I commend them, I wish life hadn't gotten in the way making me leave for a couple years. I was super sad to hear that Jape passed away, he was a super sweet dude and I'll never forget him. I'm glad these games are getting the attention they deserve. Thank you for making this wonderful video dude.

nice work covering these games as always. RIP Jape/Traweezie

I love your videos being a sort of celebration to fighting games, it's really cool to see more casual oriented fighting game vids after getting into Rev 2 and 3rd Strike a few months ago, DBZ is something I got into long ago but not really into anymore and I haven't gotten into One Piece but I assure you that I love seeing crazy shit being done in fighting games and the list of stuff you can do here is no exception.

5:30 Don't forget that grown man dressed as a baby doing a suplex is also one of the best assists in the game, and near unseeable during action

I always like seeing games that separate assist characters from the playable cast, it's such a good way to include characters that would never get a chance at being in this type of game otherwise. It's a shame it's probably less economical to do that now that 3d graphics are the standard.

I wish Konami decided to do a Yugioh Fighting Game based on the monsters and lore, I want to play as Summoned Skull throwing lightning and punching stuff.

It nearly made me tear up seeing someone cover this game. I was SUPER invested in this back when I got it around a month or so after the US release. I remember seeing the crossover update to Extreme Butouden and Great Pirate Colosseum and thought it was absolutely insane and I wished for it to come over and get localized, but unfortunately it never happened. Eventually this game just became a memory in the back of my head, nobody to play with, couldn't emulate it, and even when I was able to, there was no local multiplayer, so it was a useless endeavor in the end. But it was still a really cool game, and I was always wishing they'd make a One Piece FighterZ equivalent and do it all over again lmao

I was excited to watch this video and learn about this crossover, especially knowing that there are so many underrated DBZ games for handheld consoles. Hearing about Traweezie was super unexpected and made me emotional. I knew him for almost ten years. I'm so glad that he was able to leave an imprint in so many different communities and shed light on so many games. Thanks for the very informative video, hopefully it brings more attention to this game :)

Ah yes, Fighterz before Fighterz. Glad I got a 2DS XL when I had the chance.

God, I would LOVE to play a One Piece game developed by ArcSys again in the same engine as FighterZ.

Dude, first off, amazing intro!

I know it's not the topic, but this game reminded me of another awesome Fighter on the DS called Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars. Released only in Japan, It plays like Smash brothers with HP and Assists, but with all of Jump's big manga characters. To be honest I think in terms of systems and mechanics, it's one of the more unique fighters. You build your team by filling up squares of a manga panel for instance, and the arenas boundaries are within the pages of a manga comic book that you can break open. For the DS it was one of my most treasured games after MKDS. I say you check that one out next.

Now I need to Buy the one piece game. Another cool fighting handheld anime game or games were the Bleach games for the DS , very cool gameplay mechanics .

Traweezie being mentioned really made my day, Thank you for this amazing video.

Amazing video as always. I definitely played Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden alot back when it first came out. Was kind of hard to play on the original 2DS but I made it work LOL. Loved playing as Adult Gohan and Super Saiyan God Goku. Also loved the fact that its apart of the Butoden Series. One day you should cover the Dragon Ball Kai Ultimate Butoden game for the 3DS. I wonder how deep those game mechanics go??💥

Thanks Guile, as a fighting game fan, dbz and one piece as you, you light me up my heart with a tremendous flame with this game i didn't even know about (I did know that extreme butoden existed but not like THIS). Thanks for everything I'm gonna play like a monkey all day.

THE ARCSYS ONE PIECE FIGHTING GAAAAME THE ARCSYS ONE PIECE FIGHTING GAME IS REAAAAL

As always great video, I just love it when these niche games just get picked up by a passionate community and get labbed, played and shown love

How DF didn't I know about this wtf.

Everyday, I'm finding more fighting games that I had no idea existed and I freaking LOVE IT!!

Thank you Guile so much for breathing even more life into these absolutely wonderful games. Really, I'm so happy the server is getting so many new (and returning) faces. One of my favorite games ever and I'm so glad it's starting to get the attention it deserves :)

Waiting for a Baki the Grappler experimental Tekken style Arcsys game

All you had to do was tell me Goku and his tractor appear as an assist in this game :O

Oh. For some reason, looking through this video I had a hunch that the name "Traweezie" sounded awfully familiar. Unfortunately, it only really clicked for me after seeing the end of the video and doing a quick google search to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Hadn't even realized they passed away until now...fuck. You take your eyes off the MUGEN community for one second, and all of a sudden everything's way different from what you remember it.

Crazy how the some of the same animations carried over to DBFZ

This is another reason why Shonen Jump FighterZ should be made.

Hey just a reminder, you’re not allowed to play the one piece commercial break sound without playing the other half thanks

Crazy to see people calling this game obscure, here in Brazil it was a big deal when they were released. Some people dreamed to see a third game being released with the Naruto franchise 😂

So Senor Pink is what lead to GWQ embracing OP So hardboiled.

I wish some day they make a port/remaster where we can freely choose characters from both games.

i hope someone makes a romhack that contains all of the characters from both games

RIP Traweezie.

It would be awesome if they ported these games already combined with more balancing and maybe even more characters for the switch

"I saw a grown man dressed as a baby doing a suplex to someone from the sky" That's a rare sentence, but a very One-piece to say.

reads one piece to play a region locked 3ds game. Guile is a chad above the rest.

I hope we get Shonen Jump Fighters at some point, maybe instead of DBF2?

It still sucks no one bothered to make a fan patch for dai kaizoku colosseum (great pirate colosseum) nor even put the English script into the Japanese version of extreme butouden so the crossover mode would be playable to English speakers

i imagine the exclusive rosters in each game chosing which game for what charecters and assist its in own meta even tho having and one with all package would prolly be more comfturble

Arcs needs to make a full shonen jump crossover fighter, it would be so hype. I wanted that dragon ball 3ds game, but when i heard the 3ds was region locked it put me off buying one, as their are other only for Japan games I'd like to get.

I have had two ideas for anime fighting games that I would love to see Arc System Works do: Sailor Moon (like the one did on SNES) and a crossover with Rumiko Takahashi series (Urusei Yatsura, Ranma, Inuyasha).

This is kinda like Ultimate Muscle GCN, a basic and plain 3D fighter, but once you get the assist/support meta you can unlock the craziest stuff in the game

Beautiful work as always GWQ. 😭

so glad people are talking about these games. i cant even explain how many hours ive played these games without anoyone to playwith except for my brother sometimes. i theory crafted combos made tier lists and all that stuff. i thought i was the only one who cared about these games. thanks for making this video and for the discord link new sub

I don't want Arc Sys doing any more games about stupid Shounen Jump mangas until they've finally given us the Idolmaster vs Love Live game they've been dangling in our heads. (Which can never happen because Mori, the guy who wanted to make it, left the company.)

god I love Gild Tesoro's blinged-out Aegis Reflector in this game lmao

DOOOOD!! Awesome video!!

Had no idea either of these existed... I gotta play them for the sprite work alone! But mechanically Im impressed with how fun both look.

Best channel on RU-vid

I stopped watching and hit do not recommend the moment you disrespected senior pink.

guilewinquote likes MHOJ2? damn. knows a good arena fighter when he sees it.

The one piece game was surprisingly cheap on Amazon JP...only $24 including international shipping. Copped it right away.

1:55 AYO GOKU WHAT YOU DOIN BRO?!

I tried ordering this game before realizing 3DS games are region locked, which broke my heart. Hearing there is good emulation for it has me kind of excited

OP FighterZ please 🙏🏿

Go home and be a family man.

A game that plays like DBFZ but has the roster of Jump Force is quite literally the dream. As to why that has yet to be created it anyone's guess.

You briefly touched on this, but Isn't there also a CvS1-esc ratio system, where all the characters have a set ratio? I haven't played it myself, but the idea of balancing a character's tools based on their ratio seems pretty interesting, rather than just scaling their damage/health like CvS2. Like an intentional version of the fan-made ratio rules for MvC2, having characters being intentionally over/undertuned depending on their cost Not sure how much I'd actually like a system like that, cause I like when everyone is on roughly equal footing, but it seems like an interesting idea at the very least. Like what if you could get an anime-esc airdasher in a relatively grounded game for a slightly higher cost than normal? Or picking a shitty joke character to give yourself more room for better characters, or just spamming like 4-5 low-cost characters like CvS1? Or maybe even spending all of your points to play as a super OP final boss?

I hope someone will eventually make all of the content that stayed in Japan available for non-jp versions of Extreme Butoden (cross play with OPGPC and the U7vsU6 DLC)

Look ma it’s me!

The thing that convinced me to watch One Piece was playing Pirate Warriors 3 and 4 (which are actually part of the WARRIORS aka Dynasty/Samurai Warriors franchise and aren't 2D fighters).

Thought came to mind watching this whole thing. If you can encounter and fight DBZ characters and assists on One Piece, and vice versa, whats stopping us from modding either one of the 2 to allow for being able to select from both casts of characters, thus allowing for mixed teams? Their data surely has to exist on one another versions to allow for this, just unselectable in the respective versions for obvious reasons.

I hope ArcSys does a console remake of this that combines the two games into one. Just release that with rollback netcode, and it's a license to print money

1:54 Bad Touch Goku

watching this just makes me realize how many things arcsys pretty much ported into dbfz, the assests and moves look the exact same.

bro I laughed out loud at 12:29

Alright we really gotta rally the troops to bully Namco into releasing a remaster of both games on modern consoles with rollback. Idc how kusoge the game is cause if we'll never get a modern Arcsys One Piece fighting game then I'll take what I can get.

I love the sea/summer vibe of OP but the length of the manga discourages me. I prefer a shorter story (that's why I'm more into seinens).

"The guessing game attack sucks, so you won't see it much if at all" thank god, that was the worst part of playing Budokai 3.

I remember being hyped for EB as a Dragon Ball fan and also because it was the first traditional 3DS fighter in like 4 years, and I originally played a lot of Street Fighter 4 or DOA Dimensions on it so I was dissapointed to see the console not getting anything after that and all the fighters being on the Vita instead, but in the end I didn't pick it up because of the middling reviews. Now your comments makes me think I maybe should have picked it up regardless of that.

DON battle stadium.

Most of the time when multiplayer games like this are set up, the only things really being read are inputs and the status of the other player, like health and meter, so I have feeling that either characters from the opposite game are in the rom somewhere, or ArcSys has got some wizardry going on with the crossover connection. Either way, I hope that the increased interest in these games will motivate someone to hack the game to allow people to mix and match DBZ and One Piece characters together in the same rom.

Playable Nami? Sold.

Fighting for one piece is another strange one. Guy from the movie gold is ridiculous in burning blood

I fell like showing a picture of Senior Pink is a test by itself to tell who read one piece and how far they read it. Also the different assist between the games is as accurate you can think off with the Dragonball character as only having simple but powerful skills while One Piece characters have unique but less damaging skill (damaging by itself, can't say the same after some of those combos)

I wish these games actually sold well. It would've opened the door for a whole new brand of crossover fighters.
