Most people say

Story mode: BT2 > BT3

Gameplay: BT3 > BT2

And i agree with it. Story mode was far better in BT2 and not so rushed, but fighting mechanics and roster was better in BT3.
I mean it was dumb that BT2 didn't have GT Goku in his base/SSJ/SSJ3 forms while having Baby in his SSJ form and his Super Baby 1 form that he never really used.
But it was also dumb that BT1 had Vegeta SSJ4 and Gogeta SSJ4 but didn't have Omega Shenron lol. He had to be introduced in BT2.

I also like that they added characters like kid Chichi, Arale, Android 8, Fasha or Nuova Shenron.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

Android 18 in GT is arguably the hottest version of her.
Super 17 saga version to be more specific.
She looks great with this harcut + I like suits on girls which is why i also like her special DBS outfit.

They both look great here although her 2nd outfit from Cell saga is still my favourite one.

I guess this would be my own unpopular opinion, but I actually preferred BT3’s story mode over what BT2 gave us. While I remembered thinking the BT2 story mode was the coolest thing ever when I first played the game, in hindsight, it had far too many unnecessary fights that just got repetitive after a while. Also, the cutscenes could get pretty awkward, what with the stiff in-game models. Finally, while the game does have the whole flying around the map thing from Budokai 3, it wasn’t executed nearly as well. It just felt tacked on.

On the other hand, the story in BT3 was much more to the point, which I thought was refreshing, given that the game was just telling the same story we had already seen many times before. Plus, the decision to include dialogue during the fights was a neat touch that helped make the story mode seem more interactive, despite being much shorter than what BT2 had. Oh, and the game also included OG Dragon Ball in its story, while BT2 completely ignored all the pre-Raditz stuff.

What I like about Super:
-FT arc
-I loved the 9 Weeks of Peace Episodes
-the Connection between the Z Fighters in the TOP arc
-how they given Vegeta his spotlight (a Thing Super did far far better than GT although I love GT more than any other series)
-Great Fights(the second&last Thing Super did far better than GT imo)
-Hit

What I dislike about Super:
-2 Movie Rettelings (I consider the ROF arc the worst in the franchise)
-Gokus Character Devolpment
-Vegetas Character Devolpment
-no connection between the arcs
-the whole U6 arc(except Hit)
-most of the TOP arc ...56 Episodes Fighting Overdose it was extremely hard to come through the arc
-the fact that Super is placed in the 10 years tbh
-where is Goten?where is Trunks?
-the Character Designs are completely garbage imo(I put a lot of value on Character Designs)
-the ending of the FT arc :D
-Ideas&concepts(2 Movie Rettelings,a Tournement,a creative good Arc,a Tournament)
-I don’t like the music
-The Transformations
-How meaningless every arc actually is
-Characters like Zeno,Whis&Beerus absolutely took away the drama from for me as you can see in FT saga

Dragon Ball is for kids. Transformations and powerups pulled out of the arse have always been a staple of the series, too.

Kaio-Ken Blue doesn't look good the way it is. The double aura effect makes it look very cheap with the two of them moving independently of one another instead of the blue aura feeding into the red one. It comes off as them just stacking two different animation effects on top of one another and calling it a day. When/if it gets adapted into the Shintani style, they better fix it.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Faulconer music is a lot better than original DBZ music
(Menza music is still trash of course)

yes he maybe innocent but as an adult he is wiser, more mature and can kill his opponents with a sane state of mind unlike the massacre he used to cause as a kid like in Red Ribbon Army arc or killing Mazoku clan members out of revenge, also as an adult he learned to make tough decisions like stopping Gohan from helping Piccolo against First Form Cell or saving Satan and Dende instead of his sons when kid boo is trying to destroy the planet.

In fact, i enjoyed this manga frame more than entire ToP arc in anime:

You mean a chapter with horrendous, worse powerscaling, character writing (especially for Kale) and fight scenes than any part of the anime lmao.
i would take that over the snorefest of an arc that ToP anime version was. the anime dragged the shit out of this arc and had boring characterization and even more worse asspulls.
I prefer Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, DB/Z/GT Movies, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT in Japanese.
For DBZ Kai and two new Movies I like both Dub and Sub. I Prefer Shunsuke Kikuchi Soundtracks over All other Composers.

Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be very unpopular. Although it is certainly possible that is a vocal minority sort of thing there
