Who's your favorite character to play as in DBZ games?

Post by DBZAOTA482 » Wed Aug 10, 2016 9:58 am

The title speaks for it's self.

Usually Goku and Vegeta are my mains as Goku is always the well-rounded fighter and Vegeta's style aggressive and he can fight well at a distance. SSJ2 Goku especially in the Tenkaichi games I like playing as because he's fast and has one of the fast, most damaging charged regular ki blasts in the games.

Budokai 3 is one of the few games where I don't main Goku or Vegeta. Don't get my wrong they're still good but Gohan and Piccolo I like playing as more since they have incredible zoning (with Piccolo's being the best in the whole game). Also Gohan is like a mix-pot of Goku and Piccolo moves alongside his own added flavor, like Soaring Dragon Strike (what a great super move).

What is your favorite character to play as?

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.

I loved "teen" (ech) Gohan in Budokai 3, while I was never amazing at Budokai 3, there was a point where I could beat the Cell Games with the greatest of ease with Gohan, I could get crazy combos with him, like wise Piccolo is also great, to bad his stance annoys me to no end. Bardock was another one who I was great at, to bad I could never get his ultimate/whatever the fuck there called.

I tend to be biased to characters I like such as Frieza or Pan, which is too bad because the ONE GAME Mira is playable in, his gameplay is... meh. I also like Goku, in Tenkachi/Raging Blast it's Base Goku, whereas, say, Xenoverse it's pretty much all Gokus (besides SSJ4). And in Budokai 3, it's kinda mixed.

So, generally, Goku, Frieza, and Pan, I guess.

My favorite player to play with in DBZ games is Yamcha, not only do I like his movesets in the games but beating someone with him is just as satisfying.

Can't edit my post, but I forgot to mention Videl. I use her a bit despite how *cough* weak she usually is.

I've never had no more fun playing as Future Trunks in Burst Limit than as any other character in any other Dragon Ball game I've ever played.

Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta because I'm a fucking asshole (specifically in Tenkaichi 2 and 3). He's like the Meta Knight or Eddy Gordo of DBZ video games. You're absolute shit if you play as him and you relish the anger of those you fight against.

I remember I used to love using Grade 2 Vegeta and Grade 2 Trunks in Budokai 1. Budokai 1 is literally the only game I can recall that gave Trunks that form sadly :(

burter

Burter.

BURTER!

The developers have tendency to literally make him the fastest in the universe (game-wise)!

Goku/Vegeta all the way for a first playthrough for getting used to the game.
Burter is cool to play as because his combos are so fast.
Vegetto for easy and experimental gameplay.
SSJ4 Gogeta for overkill.
Mr. Satan for somewhat increasing the difficulty level.

I loved future Gohan in BT3 he had this cool move where you could pick up a downed opponent then chuck them into the air. Giving you an opportunity to nail them with a Masenko. V satisfying.

Also loved a custom Tien with extra health to spam neo tri beam.

I always go with Tenshinhan if he's available. For the games where he's missing, I usually go with Goku or Cell.

Kid Buu is always a beast. Fast and brutal.

Raditz. I liked him the best in Tenkaichi 2. He kind of was a broken character, with his rush attack and his Great Ape form.

I usually only like characters and transformations that appeared in the anime and movies.

Not a fan of BoG RoF or Super characters.

The only video game characters i've trueley made allowences for are ozotto and hatchiyack.

Only what if characters i like are like ssj3 Vegeta, ssj3 Vegito.
