This was awesome! What a nostalgia trip! BT2 was my introduction to the series, but when I got my hands on BT3 later it just easily became my favourite Dragon Ball game of all time. To this day I haven't found a game that could beat it. I would really love to have another BT game with improved graphics and combat but keeping the HUGE and DEEP Roster! Probably only a dream but man that would be awesome!

BT 2 and 3 were great because they moved away from literally everyone having High Power Rush, High Speed Rush or High Speed Volley as special moves. That's the worst part for me of BT1- the lack of care in the specials.

Use to hate Tenkaichi 1 with a passion when it first dropped. There was so much hype built around it. I remember staring at the 3D models in magazines and being pumped. Only to get a game that I felt like was a drop in quality compared to Budokai 3. No in-game transformations, no sway dodge, no destinctive differences between the Kamehameha wave user's animation, color, or sound. Just higher damages. Thankfully these issues were rectified in the sequels which helped me appreciate the foundation Tenkaichi 1 layed out.

Tenkaichi 3 is still the best DBZ game there is…so much fun. Tenkaichi 2 still has the best intro of that series, just like budokai 2 had the best intro of the Budokai series.

I actually loved the budokai tenkaichi opened. The plasticky textures gave it a straight out the toy box feel. I wish they did another opening like this

Amazing work you did here, I enjoy all 3 but if I had to only play one it'd be BT3. The best soundtrack of them all is BT2.

The combat in BT3 is one of the best 3D arena fighter ever made even to this day... imagine if they were to keep it while improving it and revamping Character models and movesets

I think as an overall package BT 3 is obviously the best game in the series, but BT 2 is personally my favourite in terms of how the campaign is done, the What-If stories and of course the soundtrack like Lost Courage and Mind Space.

I think the KZfaq algorithm actually did me a solid by recommending me this video. I think it helps that Tenkaichi 4 was recently announced. But this was very comprehensive and well-done. For me I love the gameplay of Tenkaichi 3, but I think I love the overall package of Tenkaichi 2. Also I think the music for T2 and 3 are pretty good with a greay sense of variety to them. Oh and Super Survivor by Hironobu Kageyama is a banger.

Thanks for compiling all of these games together :) It's really cool to see the changes between all of these games. Tenkaichi 3 would have to be my favourite out of the trilogy

This was by far the most in-depth analysis of the Tenkaichi series that I've seen on KZfaq! 10/10.

Why I love Tenkaichi 3 is because they added Future Gohan into the game giving him all his movesets used from his TV special. Besides, it's still possible to play online on Wii using 3rd party servers, or even Netplay. But Budokai 3 will remain the King of the Ps2 era.

It’s crazy how people have such different perspectives/opinions on these games. BT1 and BT2 was my childhood! The intros got 11 year old me SO hyped! I wanted a whole series like it lol

that Kid Buu vs Vegeta fight had 5 year old me in tears ngl. Up until I learned how to spam heavy attacks and keep Buu in hitstun until time ran out

the games intros was lowkey funny to me for some reason

I've never played this because I had Budokai. Specially Budokai 3. That is still one of my fav DBZ game. I love how you put in DBZA clips into this. Lmao

Yo this was AMAZING! Im glad to see people still talking about the tenkaichi series despite how old it is.

*WHY IS THERE NOT A HUGE PUSH FOR REMAKES OF THESE GAMES* Seriously though these were the greatest dbz games of all time

BT2 soundtrack is top tier

Love the video. As a person who played plenty of these games when I was young, I loved to hear your thoughts and opinions on the topic.

Awesome analysis of those series dbz bt3 will always be my favorite it was perfect for the time.

your videos are fun to watch. they bring me back, much appreciated!

I love the Tenkaichi series, I really hope that Tenkaichi is making a comeback someday in the future. Amazing video and channel, I‘m really happy that this video was in my recommendations 😄

This is going to be an exciting ride!

You are like the only person I've ever seen cover the first game. I was trying to learn about it, and couldn't find anything aside from this

The comedic timing and editing make this so enjoyable to watch, amazing job! You earned a sub, bt3 was my childhood and seeing it get the love it deserves makes me happy, please keep making such amazing retrospectives!

Great video, great commentary, and your experience with the franchise is exactly the same as my own. Budokai 3 is one of my favourite games and I couldn’t stand tenkaichi when it came out. Haven’t gone back to the series since but this makes me think I should. Great production from a small channel, wishing you luck and growth!

The only complaint of this video I have is she forgot to mention the Animated fight cutscenes during some of the story modes I always loved those and wish they added more And it's a shame they didn't show up in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Bardock fighting the Frieza soldiers and dying to Frieza is my favorite animated cutscene There is also animated cutscenes for Gohan vs cell Gogeta 4 vs omega shenron Turles vs Goku Vegeta scouter vs Goku Very lovely and fun to watch Also you forgot to mention that Tenkaichi 2 also has What ifs that are far more interesting then the ones in the first game

I love the way you include the DBZA clips!

I remember as a kid I never had problems with the controls and camera angles. Even xenoverse 2 still has camera angle issues so why would I bother back then when it came out? It makes no sense. I was a beast at this game so I can confirm it has pretty nice combos and animations for the time it came out. The second game sacrifice graphics, but not everything is up to graphics. The amount of characters that was in it, having their special attacks and combos from the show is a big improvement. And also I'm being objective. That's how you analywa game and not basing it on the things you liked

Awesome video young bul, keep it up

This was really in depth and good.👍 I also always wondered why goku’s gi was black in the menu screen 😅

I could legitimately see a competitive scene pop up based on the BP Battle mode if we got Tenkaichi 4 with better balancing and more additions to the roster

I loved Budokai 3 when I got it at like, 11 years old for PS2 5 years ago, but never played the Budokai Tenkaichi series. Really excited to watch this!

One of my older cousins while I was a kid is honestly the reason I was exposed to so much many games/anime like DBZ. I personally loved BT1-3. Few months later I’ll never forget the day I had finished a semester in 3rd grade and my mom bought me the DBZ Trilogy with Super DBZ, BT2 & BT3. Memories 🐉

Your video popped up on my recommended after I heard about the 4th game being announced 🤯

really top notch review nice job

Love the Tenkaichi series. Great video 👍🏾 The content on this channel is good too. I gotta sub

dbzbt 2 is my favorite dragon ball game of all time. Wouldn't have even liked dbz without playing it, thanks for making this!

This is very concise and to the point hopefully it gets more attention

I played waaaaaay too much BT3! Still my favorite DBZ game and the one I'm most nostalgic for. The survival mode is really fun!

Love the TFS clips, clearly you are a person of culture

I really enjoy this retrospective videos. Subbing at 4090. Ready to see when you hit 1M

Highly detailed and well done review! Great job! I miss Tenkaichi with a passion. A Tenkaichi 4 would a dream come true but we’ll see in the future.

Budokai Tenkaichi 4 gets announced and all of a sudden videos like these start popping up in recommended and I ain't even mad

I was so confused for bit when the mic quality got better but then I saw that it was a compilation of past videos. First time watching your channel and already liking it

You earned a subscriber! Good luck on your journey!

Watching these gets my hyped for the new sparking game! When I first saw the reveal for sparking zero i thought it was a joke

Bt2 has the superior storymode and what ifs imo. Raditz one always gets me

31:57 Did I just hear “OMG, my ****ing knee!”? That sounded like Arin Hanson, listening to it on repeat.

Always good hearing another Kiwi accent on KZfaq.

Any and all tfs references are always welcome also incredible work over here

I loved those games back in the days played nothing but tenkaichi 3 for decades as a kid

The editing is god-tier

I remember when I was a kid I spent hours on the first BT it was literally all I needed to stay entertained just the fact I was 3d fighting was enough to make me happy however even back then I thought it was lame you couldn't transform then I got older and saw just how much better the sequels were blew my mind loved the video!

You just earned a new subscriber and a fan 😀 keep making great content! :)

Hold up? A content creator from Aotearoa? Boom subbed. Let's goooo.

BT1 might have Been flawed tremendously, but it set the tone for the two following GOAT games

Great video

Here after budokai tenkaichi 4 announcement 😆

Press the button Eat the food Press the button Pull the sword Press the button Do the push up Life is now complete.

These were very in depth retrospectives. There was probably only one thing you didn’t talk about in depth and those were the blast stocks(the blue bars on your hud with the number). You mentioned that you need ki to transform in 2 & 3 when it’s actually the blast stocks. They’re also how you enter max power in each game. You need at least 1 to enter max power mode. In BT3 you can even skip transformations if you have enough blast stocks. For example with Goku End, you can go from base to SSJ2, SSJ to SSJ3, or even base to SSJ3. You can also use them to do some of the blast 1 and blast 2 abilities like Wild Sense, Explosive Wave, Goku Mid’s “I’m getting excited”, etc. Overall great video, I just feel you could’ve explain how the blast gauge works.

BT2 had the best soundtrack of any DBZ game and I will die on that hill

My only gripe with the third game, and I played only the 2nd and the 3rd - I missed out on the 1st - is that they removed the body damage on the characters..

Great video! Phone was putting stuff on I thought u had more subs just based on what I was hearing ^

Awesome analysis on the Tenkaichi series, but one wonders... How many controllers did you break while preparing this video?

Aye why’d that rock the dragon bit go so hard?! Especially when the guitar started wtf

Great review!

3:02 it’s good to see that goku is bilingual

Ive never played any of these games but Ig Id better give them a shot!

I mean the part with The Future Trunks and the whole death scenario is self explanatory because we know the story. But you are right about anyone who never watched the anime or read the manga and how it would be hard to catch onto things.

Nice video

While I don’t have much experience with 2 and 3, I will say I do have fond memories of hating the first game. The awful intro, the hard as nail battles, and the initial learning curve was brutal. I remember getting it the same day I picked up dragon quest 8 on ps2 too. Great times. Great video btw!!!

Always loved these games.

Nice

I don't know if it's the case in the Wii version, but in the PS2 version of Tenkaichi 2, there was a glitch in the duel mode where you could choose two of the same characters in the tag team battle. I would always choose 2 SS2 Teen Gohans and it made my cousin mad

That is a gratuitous amount of TeamFourStar quotes. Not that I'm complaining, lol

Thank you for using Rock the Dragon. No one appreciates it enough

The incorporating of TFS clips is hilarious here 😂

I'm honestly surprised, that since Dragon Ball Super's Been out, and, if memory serves, Tenkaichi 3 sold pretty good didn't it? While I am aware of the Xenoverse series as well as FighterZ being the more prevalent titles nowadays, I am slightly dumbfounded that they haven't made a Tenkaichi 4 yet. It could include the Sagas present in 3, as well as; Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, Goku Black, Universe 6, and as well as the Universe Survival Saga and the Super Broly Movie. Just imagine the Character Rosters! Obviously, they would have new iterations of Goku and Vegeta for Super, detailing all their canon transformations from Base Form to Ultra Ego/Instinct, as well as either a new Costume for past characters present in Super (For Example, 17 and 18) or a different moveset for the Super Iterations. As well as the following characters from each saga; (Transformations included) Battle of Gods: Beerus and Whis Resurrection F: Golden Frieza, Tagoma, more Alternate Costumes for the Frieza Soldier character. Universe 6 Saga: Champa, Vados, Botamo, Frost, Auta Magetta, Cabba, Hit, Zamasu Saga: Goku Black Base, Zamusu, Fused Zamasu, Super Future Trunks, with maybe a Future Yajirobe Costume, similar to how Yamcha has his Dragon Ball Costume. Universe Survival Saga: Basil, Lavender, Bergamo, Top, Jiren, Napapa, Kale, Caulifla, Kefla, Ribrianne, Obni, Dyspo, Caway, Ganos, Maji-Kayo, Borareta, Jimizu, Cocotte, Kettle, Kahseral, Saonel, and quite a few more possibilities I can't recall. Such as the Blue Haired Cat-Girl that #17 faced off against. Broly Movie: Broly, Cheelai, Paragus There's also a few characters from earlier Dragon Ball Series that they could bring in also, I, for one, would love to see Shugesh, Tora, and Borgos and see Team Bardock as a potential 5-man Team in Tenkaichi 4. As well as Adult Chi-Chi from the last few episodes of Dragon Ball. They could even play around a bit more with the What-if Sagas. For example, I would absolutely love to see Super Broly face off against his sadistic Z counterpart. Team Bardock facing off against the Ginyu Force, or even the Pride Troopers! Jiren vs. Z Broly, as well as Berserker Kale vs. Z Broly, the possiblities are endless. Especially if they decide to add some of the cast from Dragon Ball Heroes and all the other spinoffs, Cumber and Super Saiyan God Trunks to name a few. The possibilities are endless! But, on the flip side, the more characters there are, the more movesets they have to develop. So, it's likely wishful thinking, but, I would be MORE than happy if they made a Fourth Tenkaichi.

Great video but you forgot to mention that with lacking cutscenes the main events in the shows were animated with the ingame engine with great voice acting in budokai tenkaichi 2

FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO ABOUT MY BABIES! tenkaichi is my childhooooood

yajirobi was broke af! in tenkaichi 2 he could store up to 5 blast meters, and basically full heal for a coat of 3 of those blast meters they nerfed him in tenkaichi 3 tho raising the cost of his health from 3 to 5

I still play BT2, and have off and on since 2012. Am currently waiting on a second ps2 controller so i can teach my nephew.

Thumnail picture is sooo good

The box art for BT2 was 🔥

Sparking neo, and meteor are god tier games, and on a competitive scale, even better

Your voice is so calming

BT 2 and 3 were my first games that I owned as I only played B3 on gamecube as my cousin had it. I’ll say about the AI for BT2 and 3 I DEFINITELY agree looking at you Kid Buu good grief that dude and his Mystico Ball Spam got on my nerves.

I think I remember finishing BT3 in one or two sittings. Didn’t unlock everything, but went through the story mode fast af

Hey hidden would you ever consider doing a video review of the new rereleased of thps 1+2 for the Nintendo switch

Goku was wearing black shirt under the orange in the 23rd martial arts tournament. That's probably why he was wearing black in that model you mentioned. It isn't uncalled for I suppose.

Nice use of kaggy’s cover!

Budokai Tenkaichi is probably my favorite cause the different game modes and has by far the best story mode

I LOVED BT1. Even though the moves were a little repetitive, I didn't care. I disagree with your opinion of the opening though because I re-watch it once in a while. It also had the best music from the trilogy. One of my favorites was also the intro to the Z Battle Gate because it was special to me from some reason. Maybe it's because you could talk to mr. Popo, and he would always give you a farewell 😂. I'm pretty sure this doesn't only stick with me because I've seen a lot of people in the tenkaichi community that also liked it. I also think that the menu inside it is the best. Just choosing any level in that certain way and seeing the objective in that font. The only things that I hated was that you couldn't transform and the moveset.

This really is nostalgic

Thanks!

Fun mini Easter egg:if you Waited in the duel mode long enough, Nappa would tell vegeta if his hair would grow or not if he became a super Saiyan. Another Easter egg is that SSJ4 Gogeta's alt costume reference The fan made dragon ball series, Dragon ball AF

I love the use of TFS clips in these videos

Now, we’re getting Tenkaichi 4 :)
