Raging Blast 2 vs Budokai Tenkaichi 3

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Been a long time since I played DB: Raging Blast 2 so I may be wrong, but from what I recall, DBZ: Sparking! Meteor has more characters (and more different types), costumes, arenas, modes (it even has a story mode that RB2 lacks), tournaments, and Shenlongs, the fights last longer because the fighters have more life points, it's harder to transform, merge, and use Ultimate Attacks because of the Blast Stocks, and it has a deeper & faster gameplay.

But RB2 has much better graphics, cutscenes for Ultimate Attacks, you can customize each character's Super Attacks, some gameplay differences, and there are some characters exclusive to this game.

For me, DBZ: Sparking! METEOR is the best, but DB: Raging Blast 2 was also very enjoyable game for me.

It depends what are you looking for. BT3 doens't have any kind of cancel system, so in that regard RB2 is superior. The main problems with RB2 as I said before is how slowpaced and clunky it seems at times for one, and also the problem with ultimates being too spammable. Also BT3 it gives you more defense versus ultimates. You can always struggle with your own beam.

If you like canceling, then RB2, if you prefer mroe balanced and less spam gameplay, BT3.

You must be playing it wrong, RB2 is never slow unless you're playing it slowly.

Ultimates are so easy to vanish (you literally have seconds before it hits) that they could waste no ki and it wouldn't make a difference.

Some strong supers, Kaioken X20 and Grand Smasher from Bojack can beam struggle with some Ultimates. Though if you could beam struggle you might as well have just deflected then fired your own attack.

Compared to BT3, it's quite slow. the dash and aura dash in RB2 don't have much difference in speed. The teleportation counters are also slow because it always plays the same scene at the same speed. That didn't happen in BT3. The attacks are clunky because the characters don't lock well when you are attacking. And there is also the camera problems when a character is above you. BT3 is faster without any doubts. I agree the deflecting, super rising and other additions are great. But RB2 is a downgrade from BT3.

And also, another problem of RB2 is that attacks even though they look good (for the most part) seem like cutscenes pasted in the game (specially the ones with the cut to black screen). They were better integrated in BT3 than in RB2, in that game the flowed better in the gameplay.

Nowadays I play more RB2 than BT3, but it's mostly because to paly BT3 I have to connect my PS2 and even then, Ihave to do a disc swap so I can play my import game, which is really tiresome. I hope we get an HD release someday.

I tend to have a strong disdain for all post-Tenkaichi 3 games. RB as well, I played the demo and I was extremely bored after the first fight.

They just outta go back to the Budokai/Budokai Tenkaichi days and make something interesting again.

Raging Blast 2 would probably be better than Tenkaichi 3 if it wasn't so slow.

BT3 wins this one, although RB2 has better graphics and music. My problem with RB2 is all the annoying button-mashing you need to do to get back up and get out of a fall. And the combo system is really annoying in that the CPU will almost always teleport out of them. They made the combos more complex and tougher to memorize but what's the point when the CPU will always escape them?

I think I actually preferred RB1 to RB2 simply because it felt less button-mashy and had a good story mode.

I've read that most people think RB1 > RB2 is that true? If so why and I've also read that RB1 has a more active online.

RB1 is more 'technical' than RB2, which is why more people like it. To me it's more unresponsive, but RB2 dash is slower, but the game is flashier.


They should have made a RB 3, it would have sliced that Ultimate Tenkaichi.

Ultimate Tenkaichi should have been a jRPG, it plays like one.
