"DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Thread

[Hellspawn28]

This game needs a lot of characters, more than BT3.

No it doesn't. The game can be just fine with 60 or maybe 70 characters. I want a DBZ game that is good for once. RB2 had a nice selection of characters, but the game was boring since it was nothing new.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

Yeah. You look at the first Budokai game. It had mere 23 characters. Even with the small roster, it had tons of replay value. I'd like that on Battle of Z as well. I do hope they consider adding a story mode.

Hope its not a short game

With 8 characters on the battle field at the same time, it has to have more characters than this.
Only 8 matches, and you'll see all the characters in battle.

The game needs to balance. If you have too many characters then most of them play the same which is what most people had issues with the Sparking games. The Sparking games in my opinion are all flash and no substance. They are fun, but they are too simple and a huge selection of characters won't help it. It's like with the Transformers movies. Sure they are fun, but they are still not any good.

Isn't the point of a game to be fun?

I don't want a Dragon Ball game that has different buttons for every character.

Hopefully they are following ZBR in things other than group battles. Also you mention those movies a lot. Not that I like those movies or anything but DB is just entertainment too.

[TheMightyOzaru]

I just want the necessary characters. cutting people like Dabura, Goten, Trunks, Ultimate Gohan, etc is not ok.

Yeah but you need substance though. You can't have icing with no cake. From what I've seen from other DBZ fans, they don't care if the gameplay is good as long if they have a ton of characters. It's like what Mr. Plinkett pointed out in his review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull that people enjoy the same shit that they like last time. I'm not saying that the Sparking games are bad, DBZ games need to be more then just large selection of characters.

[supersaiyan DbZ fan]

I hope the story is very similar to BT2 because it has almost every battle and I want Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball.

[supersaiyan DbZ fan]

Finally a Dragon Ball Z game on Vita. They must (I hope they?) give a release date (soon?).

[DBZGTKOSDH]

If it covers DBZ only (hopefully not), then the perfect roster would be this for me:

Spoiler:

• Goku (base, SS, SS2, SS3, SSG)
  Gohan: Kid
  Gohan: Boy (base, SS, SS2)
  Gohan: Teen (base, SS, SS2, Great Saiyaman, Ultimate)
  Gohan: Future (base, SS)
  Goten (base, SS)
  Vegeta (base, SS, SSG2, SS2, Majin)
  Trunks: Future (base, SS, SSG3)
  Trunks: Kid (base, SS)
  Vegetto (base, SS)
  Gogeta (SS)
  Gotenks (base, SS, SS3)
  Piccolo
  Kuririn
  Yamcha
  Tenshinhan
  Chaozu
  Nail
  Bardock (base, SS)
  Saibaman
  Raditz
  Nappa
  Kiwi
  Dodoria
  Zarbon (base, transformed)
  Gurd
  Reacoom
  Butta
  Jheese
  Ginyu (base, Goku body)
  Freeza Soldier
  King Cold
  Freeza (1st, 2nd, 3rd, Final Form, Full Power)
  Mecha Freeza
  #16
  #17
  #18
  #19
  #20/Dr. Gero
  Cell Jr.
  Cell (1st, 2nd, Perfect Form, Super Perfect)
  Dabra
  Majin Boo: Innocent/Good
  Majin Boo: Pure Evil
  Majin Boo: Evil (Piccolo, Gotenks, Gohan absorbed)
  Majin Boo: Pure
  Coola (4th, Final Form)
  Metal Coola
  Broli (base, SS, LSS)
  Super Janenba
  Chilled
  Beers

52 characters without transformations, 109 with transformations. I added the most popular Movie villains there, didn't include giants because they don't seem to be playable in this game, and also didn't include any what-if forms.

A french translation : http://db-z.com/wp-content/uploads/2013 ... n-jump.jpg

It says : "the genki gauge (=vital energy) will be on the top of your screen. the more you hit your ennemy, the more the gauge increases. Linked attack increase your genki gauge faster. When the genki gauge is full, you will become like « invulnerable » and you will be able to unleash a « special attack » with no more details. There also the "energy share" system to share your vital energy with your allied."

(my english sucks)

[TheMightyOzaru]

Honestly base Broly is a pretty pointless character, we don't need him.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Honestly base Broly is a pretty pointless character, we don't need him.

Same for base Cell Games Gohan. I just added them for completeness.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Base Broly is pretty pointless, in that he didn't really do a lot (though he did attack Goku), but I'd rather they keep him if Broly's in the game at all, just for completion's sake. It feels weird to me when we get these games and a character exists only in his transformed state (still wondering why we never got a first form Hirudegarn).

And beaten to it by DBZGTKOSDH.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

If it covers DBZ only (hopefully not), then the perfect roster would be this for me:

You skipped Freeza Soldier and the Ginyu Squad, which are already in. You also included SS Bardock without Chilled, which was pointless in DBZ Kinect and remains so here IMO.

Personally, I think this game is the perfect candidate for a large roster. The focus is on team battles, so shouldn't all the characters who had a team utilize that ability in the game? It's nice to fight Raditz, Nappa and Vegeta all at once. Why would I want to fight Coola without Neiz, Sauza or Dore? =P

Thanks, fixed it.

I DON'T want a repetition of ultimate tenkaichi ,I want base forms it feels realistic to the series
