>Favorite Dragon Ball game?

Here's hoping the new fighting game will turn out to have a good roster. It just sucks that transformations are considered their own characters. Wish it was more like the Budokai series where you can power up in the middle of battle, just like the anime.

The only thing it lacks is characters, and the sheer level of flashiness of ultimate moves like in budokai 3 (but they fucking ruined that by creating that cancerous "charge up vs your opponent" bullshit, added in rock-paper-scissors a la dragon rush, copied the budokai fighting system and just added in cancerous teleport mechanics)

Budokai 1 is great, but don't kid yourself. The gameplay really is clunky and didn't age well. When you power up it looks like your character is taking a shit.
The story and comfyness factor is good, but Budokai 3 beats it when it comes to roster and gameplay.
If you like Budokai 1, try Burst Limit. It's the spiritual successor to that, also only goes up to Cell Saga and features a limited roster.

There's nothing fun about having to punch aimlessly in the air to do a ki blast. Sad that as they soothed out the combat they kept adding all the bullshit rock paper scissors QTE bullshit.
Also interesting note is the PAL version of Budokai 1 had different localization than the US version. It kept the Jap voices and used subtitles. Sadly the subs are not good, like at the end when Krillin almost stabs Vegeta; they translate "SHINU!" as "KILL YOU!"

>the gameplay is really clunky and didn't age well
It feels fine to me. I beat it on an emulator a few weeks ago on 'hard' (and damn, it actually was).
Its literally budokai 3's fighting engine with a few quirks split up between characters, and a different throw system; what is clunky about it? The most I could say felt "clunky" is certain character's options during combos.
>when you power up, it looks like your character is taking a shit
This is a lame complaint, especially considering its the game that requires the least amount of charging in with how much ki you get from kicking and punching your enemy.
>>13719689
>there's nothing fun about having to punch aimlessly to do a ki blast
You should differentiate between a ki blast and a super move. Super moves do enough damage to where I think a prerequisite is frankly necessary. even if it does feel a bit awkward.
Budokai 3, while it felt pretty satisfying to just press a button and have a death move go off, it was frankly absurd and completely fucked up the balance of the game, especially against computer-controlled computers. It also creates an absurd amount of projectile spam as well; in fact its how I beat a lot of character's stories in dragon universe. I do agree its awkward though, but turning it into a one-button press is not the solution at all
ec52e8 No.13719721

In B1, it is impossible to get out of a combo. This is especially troublesome in Tournament mode where if just 1 hit connects, you're done for and can easily be thrown out of the ring. The gameplay is basic and barebones. Just use Goku's KKKK cancel combo for eternity.
In B3, you can teleport or dodge attacks, it gives the meta much more depth. You have to watch your enemy's Ki meter to make sure he can't escape your combo or *teleports behind you* and kicks you out of the ring instead.

ec52e8 No.13719775

If you're really good at combo-cancelling, yes the game unfortunately stops being balanced. That really only applies to people at the highest level of the game though, so its not that much of a problem, but it is one nonetheless.
I really don't think the teleport option was the best way to go about with "countering" it at all though, it feels like absolute fucking shit when in a regular combo they can just stop it all by pressing 'A' and getting behind you
in budokai 1 it required a lot of knowledge knowing which combos were "safe" and which combos left you more vulnerable because not all combos or attacks had nearly the same level of hit recovery
In budokai 3 that's thrown out the window when you can teleport at almost any time; the fact that they added a fatigue system and dragon rush in the same game also negates the "infinite combo" issue, when its possible for you to be stuck and unable to do ANYTHIGN while you either are guaranteed to either get locked into a QTE or a brutal teleport combo that would've done more damage than any infinite on its own in budokai 1 would've done

No, those fan charts, especially ones that cover the Android to Buu arcs, are retarded and only serve as examples as to why power levels were bullshit. The numbers get to retarded lengths, not to mention levels stopped being officially calculated after Trunks' first appearance. Levels only serve as a means to be debunked and that a person's strength can't be measured in raw numbers.

Hard to choose. Budokai 3 and Supersonic Warriors are probably my favorite DB fighters. They managed to balance looking like the fights from the series with being actually fun fighting games as well. As for single player games, I like Legacy of Goku 2, Buu's Fury, Advance Adventure and Attack of the Saiyans.

Attack of The Saiyans (DS)
Are without a doubt the best handheld games of the franchise. Just a shame they didn't follow up with a sequel for the DS game. AotS was a good game but 90% of it was just boring filler, they could have fitted the entire Namek/Frieza saga in there and done so much more with it.

Eating shit is called having no integrity, but you don't see me calling you a pleb.
Modern anime looks like vaseline is smeared everywhere. The animations are fucked up, the story is retarded (literally taken straight from Multiverse), new transformations look hilariously like something from Deviantart, characters get shafted (like Gohan.. again..), villains look idiotic and uninteresting, and all in all it just shows Toriyama doesn't give a fuck anymore. He's just milking the franchise down the toilet bowl.
He's the George Lucas of Japan. Just like how Star Wars got ruined by unnecesary dumb CGI edits or the horrendously bad prequels. And now the reboot, with extra diversity and politically correct SJW shit shoved in.
Call me a nostalgiafag, but I liked it when Dragon Ball looked like vid related. DB's comfy 80's round faces, or Z's sharpness. Modern digital anime is soulless cancer.

Why do fags that don't even read the manga or watch the show come to these threads? She invents the dragon radar, a watch that can shrink the user, makes a radio/drone out of scraps and fixes the radar plenty of times. All before the events of Z where she repairs and translate Raditz scouter, repairs a Namek spaceship, invents a time machine in the future and makes Gohan his retarded costume watch. She was always portrayed as pretty faced engineer with the personality of a garbage disposal.
The prequels are shit by the way. The only thing holding them up is having teen Natalie in TPM, a few scenes in RotS and expanding the universe so we can have more fun vidya.
