"Dragon Ball Zenkai Battle (Royale)" Official Discussion Thread

Yeah, if there's any transformation to get the shaft nowadays, it's Super Saiyan 2.

It makes me sad that we won't be able to play this game here in the US... Instead we get Battle Of Z......

This game has never been available for consoles, the closest you'll get will be J-Stars Victory Vs. on PS3 only.

I don't see a huge difference between this and BOZ. Both don't have in game transformers and they both had a lot of characters fighting on screen at once.

Have someone play a match with preteen Gohan, Godku, Zarbon and the upcoming Bardock update and you'll have a lot of characters playing on the screen at once who transform during the matches.

[Saiga]

I have to wonder why it is that some of the Super Saiyans are separate characters in Zenkai if that is the case. Or do they not give existing characters updates?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

To my knowledge, they have never updated an already released character beyond tweaks to move animation times, invincibility frames, damage, etc. It seems like the characters who have their transformations were designed with those in mind, and implementing the new forms on old characters would require cutting at least one of their already established moves for the button trigger for the transformation and completely reworking the game balance because of these changes.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Do we know if the characters have unique combos (like Super DBZ) or if everyone plays the same (like the Budokai & Tenkaichi games)?

[Silkman3003]

Everyone plays the same in the Budokai games?

[JeffJarrett]

Everyone plays the same in the Budokai games?

Same buttons for kicks, punches, ki blasts + similar combo in B1 and B2 (Zanku Fist, etc.)

[DragonBoxZTheMovies]

They're on the website now. Keep an eye out for videos on YouTube over the coming weeks.

Amazing to think that we started out with only a single row of characters. Look at it now; can't get much bigger, can it? I wish they'd get on with whipping out a couple more stages, though. It feels like it's been a while.

[UltWarrior1]

Zenkai Battle Royale is turning out to be one of the great DBZ games. I wonder how many people are playing this in Japan...

I would totally dig this on console. IMO this game is better than every DBZ game the U.S has had in the past 6 years combined.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Piecing the info together, Bardock seems to have an anger meter. The more damage he takes, the more the meter fills up and he can dish out more damage. If you let the meter fill up completely though, he transforms into a Super Saiyan.

This is precisely why this game seems spectacular to me. Every character for this game has some serious tuning, and its shown to make things enjoyable.

I really hope Namco-Bandai allows for a home-port.

This may happen but once development stops, because it's still getting updates it's still technically in development.
I've only played Zenkai once and it did remind me of BOZ but with better controls and more depth to the combat system.

You'd probably see this on the PS4/Xbox One eventually.

That'd be something! Though, for some reason I feel like it would be easier to port this title to the PS3.

[PhoenixEX]

Here's hoping this game gets ported over to the PS4/XB1 and then localized because this game looks miles better than Battle of Z.

It definitely would be, since the machines it runs on are just re-purposed PS3s:

Also, have some random clips of Bardock with Solid State Scouter blaring over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqr707hXhyI

Loved the Bardock montage, that's how you make someone excited for a character!
