Ideas for a skill-based 2D Dragon Ball fighting game

[Ozotto]

- 2.5 D
- Saiyan Saga - Cell Saga/ Other World Tournament
- First 9 DBZ movies as side story lines
- Bardock & History of Trunks side story lines
- Ozotto, Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans Bonus/ Hidden Story lines.
- More focus on filler
- Refined Character Roster, no henchmen characters.
- Giant Boss Battles, no playable giant characters.
- Fight every battle that occurred in the anime, including filler, ex. Scare Face & Shorty, Ginyu Force on King Kai's planet.
- Movie henchmen can be fought against in story mode, battles have novelties/ or special conditions or variations based on the henchmen's special ability or gimmicks. Since these characters have limited move sets, they aren't playable though.

Decided to edit the OP and bump this old thread of mine.

I hope a new Dragon Ball game will be announced at E3 2016. It would be a good moment to release a new game as Super is running and Xenoverse sold well.

I'd wish a Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 4 with Burst Limit graphics and all characters and transformations from Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 plus some new ones, like Major Metallitron, Ninja Murasaki, Staff Officer Black (using his Battle Jacket), Kami, Mr. Popo, Android 14, Android 15, Olibu, Pui Pui, Yakon, Hatchiyack, Beerus, Tagoma, Champa and his team, Golden Freeza, Ozotto and some others. Also, elements from Legacy of Goku II and Buu's Fury would be interesting.

Would happily accept either of the two but especially Burst Limit 2.

I think a Budokai 4 2d fighting game would really do well on Xbox Live or PSN online only purchases. Budokai 3 was one of my favorites for the console, the game introduced free roaming the map, which was a very different take then the board game type setup for Budokai 2. I might be completely wrong but I want to say the first went up the Cell saga, then the 2nd went to Buu, and the 3rd went to GT? If that's right, then it had something new every game! It wasn't just rehashing the same old arcs. I Honestly feel like the DB console market hit its peak with BT3 simply because it was the last game with a large roster and the what-ifs. The story was complete at that point, then it got rebooted with Raging Blast, Burst Limit, and Ultimate Tenkaichi. It wasn't until Xenoverse until the series had a fresh breath of life but imagine if Budokai 1 started with the original DB series with Kid Goku and Bulma chasing after the balls. They could have pumped out the games from the start all the way to end of GT which would have probably made it Budokai 6.

Burst Limit 2 because there would be no Super Armor bullshit.

I updated the first post.

Would you guys like if Budokai series was rebooted and have the first game called "Dragon Ball Super: Budokai"?

Sure, if it included Super characters and story's of course, but on the other hand I feel like Budokai ran it's course as it defines the playstation era of DBZ games. I do hate how we are skipping around on the titles with no sequels, like Battle of Z to Xenoverse. I'd like to see a series again like the storm games but it also needs to be something fresh that they can expand upon and doesn't get repetitive after the first entry. I think the Budokai and BT games would make a great base and inspiration for this, since they were the last non repetitive entry's into a series.
