Super DBZ isn’t really tournament friendly, since a lot of the stuff that makes the game balanced is only available when you spend time unlocking skills for your character.
I’m a huge DBZ fan, but I never cared about the games, especially the fighting ones. Maybe, I’m wrong for wanting them to play more like traditional fighters.
J-Stars Victory seems more fun than this one here.
Yeah. It feels awkward when you first play it. I was in Japan for TGS and I played VS at an arcade. The controls felt really weird and off at first but after playing for a little bit, I adjusted. Game is pretty fun once you do. Also played Zenkai Royale. That game shits all over BoZ. Not sure why they didn’t just port it with more characters.
Is this the arcade game that’s out in Japan? I never got a chance to play that while there but I heard it was good. On the other hand though all this looks like is a four player Tenkaichi with nothing really new added. Eh I’ll probably pass until they make a real DBZ game.
I owned DBZ Legends import on PS1 using a device method that plays sports (think it was called Gold Finger or something).
Tobal 2 was the other import I had on PS1.
The best fighting games don’t have to be the deepest. Fun > depth (as proven by the SSB series, which is tiers below Street Fighter series depth. simple, yet enough room for skill and fun. )
And even in a simpler mechanics design, depth can still exist in a battle system like this. And it definitely takes more skill to defeat a team than it is to defeat a single opponent. 4 vs 4 is going to be a blast online. Plus with this gameplay design, a Battle of Z series could have an easier time implementing more playable favorites. Considering Battle of Z is the first of its kind these days with new engine, it already is building up a more
impressive roster than most DBZ fighting series that start out. I’d say a sequel could possibly rival or surpass Tenkaichi 3’s roster.
And the online players 4 vs 4 team aspect is going to deliver a flavor of entertainment and party play that 1vs1/tag team fighting games can’t match.
