Cool to see the game is finally getting some recognition in the FGC. It was basically the FighterZ of its time.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Cool! Would love to see an HD port to PS5 of this. Hopefully the Budokai games can make an appearance one day at EVO.

It's a side tournament.

A friend from the SDBZ Discord server pointed me to this thread, so I figured I should comment.

I only heard about this game in 2018 as I was looking for fighting games on PS2. I learned how to do the universal BnB combo back then, but really got interested in learning more in 2019. And I ended up starting a Discord server late 2019 as it seemed vital for gathering interest internationally.

Vortex Gallery is a really good resource for small TO’s. This is my first time running a public tournament, but I think it will go pretty well.

Online registration ends July 22, but I will be accepting signups on-site. You need an Evo pass of course.

You may bring your own memory card, but I can prepare one for you upon request.

We’ve got a matcherino set up and everyone gets a free claim code, so you can add $0.25 to the pot if you want:

Schedule isn’t final yet, but it will be streamed here:

You can also expect a VoD afterwards.

Wow, interesting. I remember loving the visuals in this game and it was fun to play for some time. But outside of having Gohan in Kaioshin outfit and playable Chi-Chi, I remember the gameplay being quite clunky and not as polished as we have with FighterZ nowadays or even Street Fighter back in the day, that it was likened to. Plus not much content. That customizable progression tree was quite fun at first go, but afterwards, the game lost it's appeal quickly and I went back to Budokai series for some DB replays.
I guess the best formula for fighting game is still a strict 2D plane.

Figure I'd share this since it has tons of high level gameplay.

Will there be SDBZ arcade cabinets at evo? Or will they just be playing the ps2 port? I've played it in arcades all the way back in 2007 and it was a whole different beast of a game in the arcades.
The world is your's.

There was a really large arcade section at Evo with tons of JP candy cabs and some uncommon games like Sonic the Fighters, Fists of Fire and Asura Buster, but no Super Dragon Ball Z.
If the arcade version was set up, whether or not card readers are set up would be another thing. Even then, I think I might’ve been one of the few people in the whole venue who has the IC cards, which expire after 500 plays.
Regardless, the core gameplay is always really fun, you’re just missing a lot of interesting stuff without skills and Piccolo sucks without Wall Smash lol.

As for differences, arcade and PS2 are mostly the same aside from bug fixes and added content. The biggest change was that you can only have two System Skills on PS2.
The core gameplay is pretty much the same between the two. If you play one version, you’ll be fine playing the other, unless you use macros on PS2.

Here’s the Twitch VoD with the timestamp at 04:42:52
