This thread is slowing my pc down.
There's a warning right at the start of the thread, but yeah, it's a bit heavy on loading.
Just like transformations in the anime.
All part of my thread plan.

The transformations and fusions animations are probably the best of all the dragon ball fighting games. Graphically wise the best game is still DB FighterZ, but to do what was done in this game (Sparking Zero), with these many characters, Arc System Works would need at least 20 years to pull that off.

This game is everything I wanted it to be. I played like 3 hours last night.

Might rewatch some of my favorite movies and give this one a go.
Does it focus a lot on Super? Never watched that, but loved DB and DBZ.

There is only one thing I want in a possible sequel....destructive finishes, like the Budokai series and Dragon Ball Fighterz. Seeing those beams attacks flying through the planet's atmosphere is the best. And maybe more complex cutscenes for the story, but then again, story was never the budokai series primary focus...

Also, completely random, but when the intro started playing limit break x survivor (the Tournament of Power arc in dbs intro theme) i fucking lost it, absolute banger and it fit so damn well.
I may need to buy the anime ost for the game (though im sad neither includes ultimate battle/ ka ka kachi daze)

Probably the less covered DB one is the original, with only Kid Goku and Master Roshi making the cut.
There's probably gonna be some OG DLC down the road, with King Demon Piccolo, General Blue and so on.
I would say Super covers quite a bit of the roster, specially because it's the most recent DB. First DLC in theory will be Super movie, bringing the Gammas and Beast Gohan, which everyone will wanna play.
Still, DBZ is still insanely well covered too.
Imma just gonna main my Ultimate GOAThan.

I never bothered with FighterZ because it’s 2D limited.

Nice. Aw shit, I've already spent a ton of money on videogames this month and already got Metaphor waiting for me, but I'm getting hyped for this game as well.
Nice pick! I'll be playing young SS2 GODhan instead.

It's is the 2.5D that helps the graphics be so good in that game. But Sparking Zero does an incredible job pulling that off in the graphics department. The animations are excellent.

Wait they used Genkai Toppa as the intro song? I saw the Ignite the Spark trailer and thought they would go with the theme used there.
That's pretty cool. Genkai Toppo hypes the game even more.
But still doesn't top Budokai 3 intro.

I hope the next one focuses on story and not playing single character fights. That’s the biggest negative for me. BT2 had an amazing story mode.
Codes 208

Yeah! It caught me by surprise too!
For me budokai 3 has the best animated intro, but budokai 2 has the best intro track
Bonus points: its the original japanese version too, they didnt just randomly shoehorn the english cover or some instrumental version like the BT titles

I beat Great Ape, he was easy once you know how. Still took a good three or four goes.

As much as I love Akira Toriyama artstyle I was kind done with DBZ after Majin Buu Saga, to me story ended there....I just didn't care for GT or other DB after that.

Super erased GT from being canon.
If you get a chance you should check out the Tournament of Power Arc.
It’s a huge battle royale and best of all Master Roshi and Android 17 become relevant again.

It’s a shame. I want to play the game so much but I’ve decided not to buy any games that are doing the early access stuff for spending more money.
ArtHands
Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I think Tobal 2 have 200 characters and Sparking Zero have 182. But Sparking Zero also have 20 upcoming DLC characters

Impressive, still early access and beating all other fighters lifetime achievements on steam.

SSJ2 Gohan was the goat, what they did to him after Z should be a crime.Nice. Aw shit, I've already spent a ton of money on videogames this month and already got Metaphor waiting for me, but I'm getting hyped for this game as well.

Yup it was because they wanted to make him the main character over goku after Z but they realized Goku was too popular to fully replace so they turned him into a side character again lol.

Be it GT or Super.
What they did to him on Tournament of Power is laughable.
On manga, he is currently on a better spot.

Finally completed Goku’s campaign, what a damn trip. My only complaint is I wished that it added some movie battles but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it (when it wasnt kicking my ass)
TotallyNotMark actually made a good point that it was less about that and just Gohan’s personality. Goku and Vegeta are actionary characters, its much easier to write for them because theyre usually the reason for the plot to happen. Gohan is reactionary, he doesnt push the story forward he just follows.

Gohan sucks, eternal failure, only good things he's ever done is hurting raditz and fighting freeza.
ultimate jobberhan couldn't even catch a damn earring, watch him fumble beast the next time we see it.

SSJ2 Gohan vs Cell was the absolute peak of the series.

Shitty writing doesnt make him a shitty character. He only fumbled because toriyama WANTED goku and vegeta to fuse

This. Ultimate Gohan is peak cocky Gohan.
Never forget:
Shame they changed his other line. In japanese it's even more raw

That doesn't matter, with that reasoning no character could be faulted because "it's the writer"; gohan sucks, he's been on the fumble train since after namek, complete waste of a character.

Vegeta was the only character in all DBZ that actually had character development in all anime imo. Akira ( rest in peace ) almost killed Vegeta character after Z, tbh i think super was a disgrace and almost killed the franchise for me, that "we need the Power of 5 sayans to make a SSJG using a fetus was my limit for a time.
Codes 208

Oh dont get me wrong, vegeta is absolutely one of my favorite characters (especially in the super manga from moro onwards)
But hes still constantly treated as a stepping stone to gauge a new threats power for goku (and yes, even gohan in the cell saga) to save the day

Theres several playable character campaigns and after 20 hours Ive only just barely finished goku’s 100%, so I’m already finding my moneys worth.
You can also play offline against bots in 1v1 standard battles, team battles or tournament mode.
PLUS you can even customize your own battles with cinematics. Its pretty cool.
I dont play competitively either but thats only like 1/4th of the game

Oh yeah, insanely popular. Which is a given since its often regarded as the grandfather of all shonen anime. That and people, like me, grew up with Z on toonami back in the 90’s/00’s
Its easily up there with one piece and pokemon as some of the biggest anime to exist

Japan held the news of Toriyama dying until a Friday night just so it wouldn’t shut down their economy.
