DragonBall Z Abridged

[Asura]

I don't see Tenkaichi 3 being this high on the list. Don't get me wrong, I love it to death, but I don't think the TFS crew are as enthusiastic about it.

Well, it’s either in the top 3 or not on the list at all, and while that would be funny as hell if they didn’t even include it on the list, I don’t see it happening.

Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 is #4

Thank you TFS! Now you guys got me again!

Predictions for top 3?

3. Legacy of Goku II/Buu's Fury (if they count them both under the same number)
2. Budokai Tenkaichi 3
1. Budokai 3.

Hmm... Let me see... I don't think Legacy of Goku/Buu's Fury was a game that good to be on ToP 3 so I think it maybe be:

3. Dragon Ball GT: Transformation Infinite World or Burst Limit
2. Budokai Tenkaichi 2
1. Budokai 3

I’ve never actually played Legacy of Goku 2/Buu’s Fury but I was just going off of the comments of how many people are expecting that game to be on the list. Even if they aren’t good enough to be top 3 though, they’re either top 3 or not on the list at all, which considering even Sagas made the list, that would be something else.

I can’t imagine them excluding either of these games though. Maybe they’ll have Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi tied for 1st?

It's possible they consider the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series to be one franchise, and thus only one of the games makes it in

How so? The Budokai trilogy were produced by DIMPS while the Tenkaichi Budokai (Sparking!) trilogy were produced by SPIKE.

[KaiserNeko]

Infinite World is the Budokai series. Burst Limit was under deliberation but ultimately didn't make the cut for the list for multiple reasons. (Largely, it too is kinda just... a worse Budokai. Unbalanced characters and a terrible assist system.)

[Asura]

Seems strange to have something like Sagas on the list whilst excluding Burst Limit completely, but alright.

Looking forward to the top 3

We basically just consider Burst Limit a Budokai game with a fresh coat of paint, and not as good as the best of it's series.

The various wikis do the same, since it was made by Dimps & seemingly based on their Budokai engine, so I don't blame you. It's like saying the Evolution game isn't a Budokai game, even though it used the engine & visuals from Shin Budokai.
Which, speaking of by the way, tell Lani, Kirran, & Grant about playing Shin Budokai - Another Road in the future for the gaming channel. Kirran & Grant, maybe Lani too, will probably like its storyline better than Super's Future Trunks Arc, since it takes the same concept of Trunks coming back from his time & brings the main Z Fighters to his time to help take care of his timeline's[ version of a lot of the threats from after the Cell Saga.

I think that sounds fair enough. I hope you mention it in the Budokai video when it comes up, otherwise I bet people are gonna be real upset and confused, haha.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about Shin Budokai Another Road. I never played it but I thought the story was neat, even though it 100% looks like a Budokai clone. Definitely fits along the lines of the what-ifs in Supersonic Warriors 2. Hopefully an honorable mention?

Another Road's story? You mean the rehash of the Buu Saga except everything's dumber because everyone's already been through this and knows what they're doing is stupid? And there's possessed minions who don't really have any dialogue or interaction. Hell, Future Trunks is really only in it for the first half an hour, as soon as he gets help from the other timeline he is practically cut from the story.

To be fair, I never played the game myself, since I didn't grow up a Sony kid & didn't have a PSP. I only saw a bit of a let's play on YouTube a few years ago, so I didn't know he was only in it that long.
In terms of it rehashing the Buu Saga, I can see where you're coming from, but the fact that the Future Trunks Arc of Super addressed it too shows that both writing teams were thinking the same things. It's just that Another Road kinda got carried away from having any sense of logic to include some of the characters, specifically the movie characters, from the amount of it I saw. Xenoverse at least has the excuse that since they dealt with time travel from the realm of the Kais, I assume that's where Tokitoki & Conton City are, they have the excuse of being able to go to alternate timelines where the movies could've happened. What's Another Road's excuse. Then again, someone could make the argument for the other way around. In any case, I'd still love to see them play through it at some point. Maybe next DBcember.

When I say rehash, I don't mean the idea of exploring Buu's resurrection in Trunks's timeline, I mean plot points are repeated in the same way no matter how non-nonsensical it is. Like Vegeta giving his soul to Babidy AGAIN to fight Goku, which helps revives Buu, before Goku is knocked out and Vegeta dies fighting Buu. Which is why
have a hard time believing that this could be considered a better Trunks story than Super's arc. In Super, Vegeta showed his development and made it clear he was fighting for his Son. In Another Road Vegeta doesn't give a shit and is happy to fuck Trunks over to fight Goku despite getting over this the first time he did it. It's even worse a plot point here because he doesn't have the excuse of underestimating Buu.

And I don't see how this suggests the writers of the two products were thinking the same thing. In Super, the mention of the Buu arc was there to simply show that someone as competent as Trunks stops almost all of the saga from happening by just being logical about it.

One of the few moments where they change it up is with Babidy reading Piccolo's memories, realizing that Buu is gonna betray him and decides to go to Namek and use the Dragon Balls to control Buu. It doesn't last long and leads to one of the most frustrating levels in the game, but it's a nice deviation.

Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury is #3

[Noah]

Really? This game sure was fun, but it was way too easy. I prefer Legacy of Goku II

I think it's because it's so easy that it's so fun. LoG 2 can get a bit grindy at times.

The only way it was more easy than LOG2 is because the level cap was raised & grinding was made more manageable by way of weighted training clothes, plus the fact that you can allocate stats. Other than those, the games are very much the same. As far as I'm concerned though, Buu's Fury is the better game because it feels MORE like an action RPG than LOG2 did, though some of the things aren't really intuitive, like the allocation of stats & the weighted clothes, since I had no idea you could do that as a kid until I saw their playthrough.

Sorry if this was asked before, and I know that Kaiser(?) said they wouldn't be dubbing Super, but have you guys ever thought about doing a movie dub of BoG in the future?

Also, did the thought of doing an episode or a movie that was a pure serious dub ever cross your guys' minds?

Battle of Gods does count as a Z movie...

There's also the 2008 Jump Special.

It’s a Z movie and a Super arc so I guess it gets rather confusing between the two, and I think most people associate the likes of Beerus, Whis, and SSG with Super and not Z.

There's also the 2008 Jump Special.

And Ressurection of 'F'

Well yeah but those two kind of... sucked in comparison to BoG.
