Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Tier List 2020

[Yokumi24]

The newest version of the Tenkaichi 3 tier list has finally been released. Many different lists have been made by various top players from different regions. Due to a large roster, it takes a long time because a lot of versions are made before a setlist is released. Primarily with ranking the high and mid-tier characters. Although the competitive scene is rather unknown to many North Americans the game is still thriving with a dedicated player base in Latin America and parts of Europe.

Who made this list? What authority / credentials / background with the game do they have? What are some of the reasons behind some of the categorizations? How has this changed since some of the prior tier lists? Have any new discoveries been made in the game that would have led to some of these changes? What kind of response does this list have within the larger community, particularly with players from different regions?

I can definitely buy that Kid Boo is top tier. He was always a pain to fight against in that game, but what makes Broly the best of the best?

He's Broly, he'll always be the best of everything.

For me to play as, it was Kid Buu and Butter on top... Man, his supersonic kick or whatever his hich speed going around and kicking was called, this guy got me trough the both Survival modes with breeze.

But I can agree with some of the characters on the picture going by head, I know that Freeza/Cell Goku SSJ was awesome, Trunks with long hair and armor, SSJ (or 2?) Gohan... I remember Arale's Ultimate attack was pain in the ass to hit with.

The list was created by top Italian player Paige he's been playing the game for years and is a well-respected member of the Tenkaichi 3 community.
