Seint Saiya(sp?)for the Ps2 I heard was pretty good.
Naruto Clash of Ninja 2 isn’t too bad. It’s not really deep but I find it really fun. There was also this 2D Inuyasha fighter for the PSX that my friend has that wasn’t too bad either, I think it’s called Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale . I also found the 2D Gundam fighter (don’t know name) to be amusing as well.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 is actually pretty good. There are a few high-level play matches on Youtube. A tournament with 45 entrants* took place about two months ago. Gundam Battle Assault 2 is also another game you should take a look at.

^ The screen wasn’t projecting in real-time, so it affected a lot of the player’s timing. It’s still worth a view.
Melty Blood.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Hokutonoken! 'nuff said.
Also Guilty Gear too if you consider that “anime”.
There was a DBZB3 tourney in nashville a few months after the game came out. about 50 people showed up.
The game honestly gets kind of boring in high level play because it gets really defense and mind game based because of the teleport. that, and this tourney allowed breathrough capsules only.
So yeah, SSJ4s and Omega Shen Long was mostly what you saw. (from what I understand, all characters are set to default capsules for most of the tournies) there are alot of ways to balance B3.
the breatrough tiers are alot different than the standard tiers.
Ah, also: Fatal Fake, a very underrated Doujin game… but play the latest patch, the first version is shit, the last is very nice.
I’m a fan of DBZ so i’ll play the games, but otherwise as a fighting game fan, the DBZ games make me want to cry!
Why oh why do they keep trying to “capture the DBZ feel” and failing for the most part? Why not just make a solid, kickass 2D fighter with DBZ characters?
Basically Throw DBZ characters into the MVC2 engine! It’ll let the guys can fly around and launch over-the-top attacks DBZ-style, and at the same time benefit from a fun fighting engine that does not SUCK.
Those DBZ games are actually pretty good. And they have made 2D DBZ fighters before. Of course, you would have had to own a SNES(prongs removed for ez mod) and a modded PSX.
And the current DBZ games aren’t that bad. They have their own funky mechanics to them. Especially Super DBZ, which is actually pretty good.
And lol @ HnK recommendation. It’s fun for casual play, but not for serious play.
Anyway, play Arcana Heart FULL.
I like the defensive play (probably because I’m a turtle) at higher levels. Omega Shenron definitely has a broken factor to him. He’s the only character who starts with all 8 ki gauges maxed – an enormous advantage. The default capsules generally aren’t the standard for tournaments from what I’ve seen and who I’ve played.
He’s top tier in just about all rules of play becuase of that simple fact. Same with Kid buu.
Goku in Vegeta are pretty high in breaktrough (as long as you DON’T use thier 4ki moves) play, but fail in the other modes.
Goku is better, just because he can transform inot more modes with less ki. Most players base the entire match around getting to SSj4, but I see alot get to SSJ3 and do just fine. Vegeta has to work a bit harder, because he only has tree modes. It’s more “all or nothing” with him.
Piccolo is godly outside of breatrough. His strechyness gives him an advantage over most characters.
I see some players use Cell and Frieza too. Frieza because he can stack transformations really fast and has DEEEATH WWAAAAYVE. Cell for some of the same reasons, and his energy field is pretty beastly.
And Brolly, because he does far too much damage to be so fast.
But yeah, the games main strat comes from teleporting. So ki is too important. This is why Kid buu and Omega Shen long are the top two.
i though the 3d Rurouni Kenshin fighter was alright
There was a 3D kenshin fighter?!
Im sorry, did you use the Mai Otome game and decent in the same sentence?
Are we playing the same game? Its probably one of the worst fighters ive EVER played. Bleach Blade Battlers is a close 2nd…tho naruto ex for the wii is absolutely terrible…as is the DS naruto fighting game…bleach ds 1 was full of infinites and would be good if it was…well…bleach ds 2.
Some games that im a fan of are:
Melty Blood, Bleach DS 2, Eternal Fighter Zero, Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 (only #4, thus making it far diff from the clash of ninja series).
People say good things about HnK and Jojo’s, but i dont personally like those games. The Narultimate Hero series is ok, im not a fan, but there’s a decent following for it. The Shippuden version is pretty popular. Battle Stadium DON is kinda fun if you dont take it seriously, and jump superstars/ultimate stars is pretty fun at a casual level against your friends…umm…thats all i can think of for right now…if i think of more later, ill post, but thats my opinion =P
yeah there is a ps1 game and a ps2 game. I can’t find any videos of the ps1 game but here is a screen shot
The game for the ps2 was released last year I think, here is a vid

Melty Blood
Gundam Wing: Endless Duel
-SH
HnK, JoJo’s, Bleach DS games and the YuYu Hakusho game for sega that the system is based off of.
I’m hearing a lot of good things about Melty Blood, anyone know where I could get a hold of it? What platform is it for?
There’s MBAC ver. B for the PS2 (I believe) and an MBAC ver. B PC. play-asia probably carries copies of both.
The melty Blood for ps2 is based on ver A, while the pc version is ver b.
