yes…yield to the dark side…you cannot resist the pull of a DBZ game that’s finally done the right way.
other tidbits:
-characters can get knocked through random background elements, just like the show.
-the action is FAST, like it should be.
-English voice actors (a good thing, imo…there’s not a lot of voicework though…just some grunts and some bits where they yell the names of their attack.)
Krillin’s “If…” story is next for me…and then perhaps Android 18.
DBZ Supersonic Warriors…the lineup:D:
Goku – regular, ssj, ssj2(?)
Gohan – “teen version” regular, ssj2, Mystic.
Vegeta --regular, ssj, and with Majin/ssj2 powerup.
Piccolo --regular, merged with Kami, merged with…hmm…that other Namek:p
Android 18
Dr. Gero
Perfect Cell
Freeza – regular final form, and mech-form.
Buu – Fat, and SuperBuu.
Trunks
Gotenks - time limit on ssj3 form.(*haven’t played him yet)
Krillin
Captain Ginyu
-natural regeneration!
-Human Extinction attack! <<you can do this, and then rush the opponent while the attack is still going on…so this ends up with the other guy getting surrounded by energy blasts while you’re right there doing whatever kind of physical attacks you want, relatively safe. :lol:
-it looks like the only drawback is that he has no special for when he’s on the ground and the opponent is above him.
SuperBuu now has a permanent spot on my team in Challenge mode.
Join us. You cannot resist the call of the best DBZ game ever made. Join us. Join uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssss.
Krillin is one of my fav characters in this game. He even has a special energy attack that involves Gohan and one that involves Tien’s Tri Beam Canon. You guys remember the unnamed move Krillin did on the Sibamen, Nappa and Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga? That move is in the game and it rocks!!! I’m so glad they included the human in DBZ that matters most. (Well to me anyway)
More DBZ. This game actually put my Phantasy Star addiction on hold.
haha…my powerlevels keep increasing in the Challenge battles. SuperBuu is just too tight…you can’t really lose with him on the team. I DESTROYED Piccolo with him just a little while ago. Human Extinction Attak–dash—combo followup while he’s getting hit…quick charge, back off for a powerful Ki shot. It’s fuckin beautiful.
*sadly, I have come to the horrible conclusion…that Freeza…kinda…sucks:(
He’s pro’ly not the absolute worst…but WHY??! Why must cool characters always end up with the short end of the stick in a video game? His weak Ki blast just doesn’t seem…“right”…he seems to be less capable of combos, his ground wave super just sucks, and he seems to take more damage than other characters. Maybe it’s just me…I’ll keep playing of course…I really hope I’m wrong on this initial assesment of his ranking…Freeza is too tight to suck like this. It can’t be true…it just can’t be:(
Don’t dispare, Million. I’ve used Frieza a few times and I’ve rocked with him. his ground energy attack is pretty tight when you use it at 100% power. I also think he’s got some nice combos.
As For Krillin. I love him but I’ve had some problems battling with him against Saiyans and other stronger warriors. He’s strong but I think they made it like the anime where characters like Gohan as a 9 y/o are stronger than him. To be honest I love how they’ve made characters different in strength. I haven’t played as Gero, Ginyu, 18, Buu or Super Buu yet. I’m still going through If Stories, buying fighters, etc. THIS is the DBZ game we’ve always wanted.
-Mega Man Anniversary Collection-
I’ve got the remix of Heat Man going through my head. It was on my mind at work today as was Dr. Wily’s stage 3-4 tracks in MM4. The new thread I made for Currently Playing Games wasn’t up long so once again, here is the link for my MMAC review in case anyone missed it:
I was just playing DBZ: Supersonic Warriors…that game OWNS all. They should seriously scrap Budokai 3 and make it exactly like that game, only with more moves (thanks to more buttons) 3D graphics instead of scrolling planes (but still fighting in 2D, mind you) hi-res sprites, more characters, and the cool stuff from Budokai such as laser power battles, charge-up on techniques, and all that other “interactive” jazz. That would be the greatest DBZ game EVER.
I really love how instead of trying to make it true to the story, they just have “what-if” stuff going on. I cracked up when Goku and Gohan just blasted Cell to dust. :lol:
Oh yeah and BTW, Arc System Works DID develop, if anything in cooperation with Banpresto. Check the credits.
If you liked old breakout-style games (Breakout, Arkanoid, etc.), you’ll love this. Moving bricks, teleporters, and in one level I finished with 39 balls on the screen.
Hmm… I’m making a whole separate topic on this…
Also playing…
Spider-Man 2 - Free swinging rules! This is probably the best game based on a movie based on a comic I’ve ever played…
Today I completed The Maijin Buu Saga and Krillin’s If Story in DBZ: SW. Super Buu is one tough mother. I actually played as Super Buu for the first time today and he ownz. LV 3 Goku has Instant Transmission. IT=Best method of escape from doom. OH and Krillin’s If Story rocked. Seeing him as the hero of the DBZ series was a welcome treat.
I haven’t played Mega Man Battle Network 4 at all today or yesterday. The game is great but I’d rather play DBZ: SW instead. Makes me wish I wasn’t reviewing BN4.:bluu:
Holy crap, I just tried that myself…Goku can own you hard with IT. do a combo then dash attack, then IT behind them and kick them straight to the canvas. Too effing good. :evil:
EDIT: It gets better…I just owned Krillin a few minutes ago with the following:
I checked the Credits and it turns out Arc Systems did help develope DBZ: SW. So why is Banpresto taking all of the credit?:bluu:
Man I wish I could playd DBZ: SW with someone else. Can you imagine all the head games you could play with someone in battle? Man it would rock so hard.
Well I hopped back into MMBN4. I’m playing it on the 'Cube via my Game Boy Player (so DBZ: SW can stay in my GBA :D). I finished up the perlims so I’m now in the tourney. When they said “Perlims” I thought I was gonna actually fight other Navis, not do favors for idiots to lazy to do them theirselves. Ah the joys of being an erand boy (sarcasim).
I was ABOUT to start playin Dark Age of Camelot again, but it seems my cdkey is “in use”. So, I calmly reacted, by headbutting my monitor and yelling “BAT SHIT!” …Fuck.
I’ve also come back to playing Breath of Fire 3 once again. Is it just me, or does Garr have the highest critical AND reprisal rate? Because he pretty much single handedly trampled the Dragon Zombie.
Me and my PS2 memory card are reunited, and I beat Mega Man 5 on PS2. Did anyone notice, one of the ending themes from the NES version got taken out? Anyone remember that goofy and confusing music that plays when Mega Man and Dr Light chases down Wily before the ceiling crashes? That’s what got taken out. After putting the last hit on wily it goes straight to the credits music.
Heh well it really is hard for me to pick just one. But I really like FireMan’s redesign as well as GutsMan’s. Now what they did to Rush was just wrong…:eek:
Yeah I noticed that too. The part where Mega Man holds up the ceiling (which I thought was pretty cool and shows how strong the Blue Bomber really is). I wonder why that music was gone but it is nothing compared to the tradgey that is MM7’s omitted ending.:mad:
