Budokai/Tenkaichi series: Favourite characters to play with?

Post by Nijuukyuu » Thu Sep 06, 2007 8:53 pm

Well, I guess it's easy to guess mine: Android #17, and Super 17 (in Tenkaichi).

I'm pretty good with him, although, it did take a while to memorise his moves, and all that, LOL. :-P I still have some trouble against computer players, since I only recently started playing the games again.

Well, what are some of your favourite/best characters to play as?

My top 5 Favourite playable characters are

1. Future Trunks (without sword)
2. Bardok
3. Meta Cooler
4. Uub (2nd costume)
5. Piccolo (Cape)


Future Trunks seems really fast and is my all time favorite character in the series.
Bardok because he's cool in the movie.
Meta Cooler because he's the ultimate stealth warrior.
Uub because he's fast, Majuub is such a gay name but he's good too.
and Piccolo because he's 1 of my faves in the series

My two favorite characters are Teen (not really) Gohan and Ultimate Gohan. SSJ2 is badass and I love Ultimate Gohan's UB.

Also, when I really feel the need to mercilessly kick the crap out of something, I use SSJ4(5) Gogeta. :D

Piccolo, by far. The Makankosappo is incredibly powerful if you get the opportunity to power it up, the Bakuretsu Kodan is a quick, effective attack, the Kakusanyudo Kodan is great as a finisher after a max combo, and he's got the two best Blast 1 abilities, the paralyze attack and the instant max power. Plus, he's Piccolo, so he's cool. Who cares that he can't rush?

SSJ2 Teen Gohan. When he is packed with his Movie 9 gi in Meteor, it will be that much sweeter.

And, of course, fucking around with SSJ4 Gogeta is always fun :wink:

For Budoukai/Sparking it'd have to be Vegeta. I just find him very fun to play with.


In Chou however, he's astoundingly weak. I play mostly as Chi-Chi or Goku in Chou.

My favorite is Kid Gohan, his B2 was sweet. (The Gakan something) 2nd would be SSJ2 Teen Gohan, so fast so powerful. 3rd would be Turles, his attacks are really good. 4th Bardock, his B2 is good for some laughs... And the last one is Broly in LSSJ, so much power....
[quote="SSj Kaboom talking about Future Gohan in BT3"]I feel sorry for Future Gohan.

Everyone's like, "What?! What are you doing with [b][i]two[/i][/b] arms?! You tear that off right now, mister!"

The general rule in BT1 is that if, at the character select screen, I have to push more than ten buttons to reach the character, I only use them when picking at random.
The humans and Piccolo I like. (Meh, I guess that includes Mr. Satan and Videl). Something about Bardock is just awesome (I guess it's the timing of certain elements of the execution of his stuff? And... he's kinda badass).
Occasionally Base, SSJ/SSJ2, or SSJ4 goku is fun. (Instant Movement=sweet... when it works. -.-).
I really hate BT1 Kid Goku. He's almost as unfair as Kid Buu.
And... Super17? The hll machinegun "lots and lots of blasts that kill you" attack is just awesome. And it makes it possible to win in tournament mode in one attack effortlessly.

Guldo and Chaozu's paralysis sucks. Saibamen are occasionally interesting, I wish #19 and #20 were less annoying, because they're interesting in terms of variety (but bloody well weak and slow and just crappy... :cry: ).
And odds are if someone fights me with Kid Buu, I will put down the controler at some point before the match's end.

But yah, after a while it just gets boring and I just pick random. Which highlights how crappy Recoome and Nappa's redub voices are.

Ya' know, strategically, Majin Vegeta is worse than Buu Saga Vegeta, since his Big Band Attack takes too long, and his final attack is a suicide Jihadist bombing.

In Tenkaichi 2 :

1-Ultimate Gohan : so powerful, so badass
2-Super Vegeta : idem
3-Piccolo : he's a killer at close range, and his Special Moves are very effective
4-Bardock : 'Cause I love this guy
5-Super Saiyaman 2 : I hate this outfit, but sadly she's much better than the "normal" Videl

Tenkaichi 2:

#20/Gero - I love his moves. Even his full powered energy beam looks cool. Plus he's got laster eyes that go in a wide arc. His UB is just sweet. When you finish someone with it, it really looks like you've annilhated them. I love his ability to absorb energy attacks, it's a life saver and his throw/UB being able to suck both energy and health.

Cooler - Great moves and the best taunt in the game. I could spam that laugh all day long (Japanese of course), it's so evil!
Check out our home made films!
Lots of martial arts action and comedy.

Hmm..

Well I would have to say, for Super Dbz it goes something like this.

1- Trunks : Because apart from the fact I have leveled the shit out of him, the capsule corp laser sword is just so badass.

2- Cyborg Freeza : Again, I'm a sucker for the add-on stuff, I love the giant cannon, it's both ridiculous and awesome.

3- Goku : He's always my default character to fall back on, I don't like him as much as Trunks or Freeza, but it's always fun putting on the Yardrat (?) costume and spamming the hell out of Instantaneous movement :P

For Shin Budokai: Another road (quite the dissapointing game, did anyone else hate the lame attempt to shake things up by moving the default camera angle?)

1- Vegetto : Mostly because of his colossally cheap auto counter move, also he looks neat.

2- Gotenks : Because Super Ghost Kamikaze attack is a lifesaver

3- Mirai Gohan : I'm not a fan of the made up transformations, but he can use the Makankosappo, which means I love him.

And finally Budokai Tenkaichi 2/Sparking Neo

1- Tullece : Firstly, he's my absolute favourite movie character, he may be a little on the slow side, but his ability to go into sparking mode and regain health with three blast stocks more than makes up for it.

2- Mirai Trunks (Saiya-jin armor) : He's incredibly fast, but also has the ability to become a hard hitter at the cost of some speed. (Interesting side note I consider Mirai Trunks (With sword) to be the worst character in the game, he's pumped full of so many extra frames of animation that it's ridiculous.)

And finally

3- Buu saga Vegeta : Because if you start to lose, he's got great energy attacks to spam.

In the interest of keeping a long list short (ish) I skipped over the many other characters I enjoy (Super 17, Bebi Vegeta, Cell (in Super Dbz & Sparking Neo) and SSJ 4 Goku)

I play too many Dbz games.

Favorite fighters? I have a few. :P

SSJ4 Gogeta- Come on, who doesn't like to use the ultimate killing machine? 8)

SSJ Buu Saga Vegeta- My Lv. 160 Vegeta, along with my other 160s, is ungodly fast and powerful.

SSJ3 Goku- Just 'cause he's awesome as hell. :D

Piccolo- His Special Beam Cannon takes so long to charge up, just the way I like it! :lol:

SSJ2 Teen Gohan- On occasion, like in the Cell games, I might use the powerful SSJ2 Teen Gohan.

SSJ4 Goku- Sometimes, in the Tournament, I use SSJ4 Goku to trash my opponents. 8)
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^
