Surprised you didn't mention how Raging Blast's main selling point was the addition of Vegeta as a Super Saiyan 3 for the first time ever. I remember it being advertised heavily for the game.

The neat thing about Raging Blast 2 is the dialouge interactions. Depending on what actions you do with certain characters, you can essentially recreate entire Dragon Ball Z sagas just like how they were and that's a bunch of fun.

Okay, this is a slight nitpick but I remember distinctively that you could totally skip transformations on Budokai Tenkaichi 3 if you had enough energy meter and doing a slightly different button combination. Like, holding left and then pressing R3 could make Goku go from base form to Super Saiyajin 2 anda stuff like that. So it's not something introduced in Raging Blast.

Fun fact: One main factor why the character models look so amazing in Ultimate Tenkaichi is that they are actually the same models from the raging blast games but they're resized to be about *twice as big* as the originals while giving extra details to them.

Ultimate Tenkaichi's "fighting" mechanics felt like something out of a modern non-serious arcade game with how simplified but button mashy it encourages you to play. Most of the strategy/skill comes from whether or not you can play rock paper scissors well and how well can you manage your ki in case you guess wrong.

Raging Blast 2 was one of my favorite games ever on my PS3 not gonna lie I sank so many hours into that game. Love your videos btw. Keep it up bro.

Raging blast 2 is pretty cool. I always liked how it added side characters from the movies because I always wondered how they would fare in a game

3:00 Just a small correction here just in case : I don't know about BT2 but in BT3 you could go from base form to SSJ2, 3 or whatever if you wanted by holding the left stick in a particular direction (I think it's left = SSJ2, down = SSJ3 etc) and pressing the transformation button (keep in mind I haven't played the game recently so my memory is a bit fuzzy but it was something like that), it also consummed the "stamina" bars you would need to go from base to the desired transformation (for example going from base to SSJ3 consummed 3 "stamina" bars)

11:19 These dialogue sections happen when the characters in the fight are recreating a story moment from the anime. There aren't a lot of these interactions, and they are pretty hard to get all the way through considering what conditions need to be met to get all the dialogue.

Raging Blast 1 and 2 were my childhood back in the day, I remember playing them for 12+ hours every day

I think it's worth noting: dash struggles were also present in Tenkaichi 3 (not sure if the previous ones had it as well). Skipping transformations was also present, if my memory serves me right you had to have extra blue energy bars and hold R3 while holding one of the d-pad arrows Anyhow, thanks for making consistently great videos!

Raging blast 2 is one of the best dragon ball games in terms of mechanics. It's probably the most in depth and rewarding game when mastered. It's a shame it sold very poorly and the graphics could have been better. Still dreaming they will do something similar with Kakarot level graphics.

2:57 you could actually do that in the Tenakichi ps2 games, (I can only speak for 3 in particular since its the one I played) you can skip transformations in most characters. But Cell and Frieza needed to progress in order, not the saiyans though.

Yo you smash these out at such a high pace whilst only improving your skill and quality in video making time after time. Really impressed by your recent growth. Impressed, but not at all surprised. You're doing great!

The thing I love about raging blast 2 is ain't no story mode I'm glad because we all play the story over and over again I like it because it's something different

Raging blast 2 is easily my favorite DBZ game. A good amount of people don't like the galaxy mode over a story mode, but I think it was the best part of the game. It was such a challenging and fun mode that wasn't just the same story that I've played in every other DBZ game. Loved the look and feel of it too, it wasn't super hard to learn combos and some of the fights made you have to come up with strategies to win

Ultimate Tenkaichi is a weird freaking game but I love the hell out of it The fights are just button mashing, but they feel the most cinematic out of the entire series

The fact you covered Raging Blast deserves a like from me. People ignore the Raging Blast games for not being the tenkaichi games. I loved this game growing up, and was excited for a 3rd game. My only regret is that I traded my copy of raging blast for ultimate tenkaichi. Ultimate Tenkaichi is a joke imagine playing rock paper scissors with punch and kick instead. Fr one of the worst games I have ever played, which sucks because the game is absolutely gorgeous and was the reason I picked it up.

Raging blast 2's dialog during battles is essentially the story mode. Its not random and happens when you make story related battles happen.

Your videos make me feel like I'm back in 2009 standing in line at Blockbuster with a new Dragon Ball game. Glad the algorithm brought me here!

You got this one out fast! Well done. I'm proud of you always. ❤

Respectfully, I'm going to defend RB2. I had played and seen the Dragon Ball Z story so many times by the release of this game that I'm happy they gave us a way to unlock stuff and progress that wasn't reliant on the story. The gameplay was superb and the art style still holds up today. I personally have a soft spot for the game because of the "tournaments" me and my buddies held. Don't even get me started on how cool the roster was for this game (although several other DB games had waaayyy better rosters). I personally didn't really care about story in DB games until Battle of Z because of the ability to play an antagonist route & God Goku 🤣. Then XenoVerse comes along with multiple race and gender character creation, an rpg style leveling, and new characters to guide you through the story.

Would love to see a series like this done with the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja games. (Perhaps Uzumaki Chronicles as well.) Budokai/Tenkaichi and the Ultimate Ninja games go hand-in-hand for early anime fighting game nostalgia for me. And there's a lot of upgrades and differences from game to game, so comparing them would give a lot of interesting content for a video series.

Playing Xenoverse 2 is a spit in our face compared to all the games we got before. Can’t believe everyone praises that game yes it has very cool concepts but the older games had waaayy more content

I really liked the ultimate tenkaichi character customization. For example, i will never understand why in xenoverse, your characters hair stays the same when you turn ssj instead of spiking up. Also i loved that you could pick your characters fighting style and their aura. If xenoverse 3 comes out, i hope they have those options because i feel like it will open so many options and variety in characters

Hell yeah You did part 2 already! I watched all the others last night, great content

Love the content as always Cant wait for all tekken games

A thing Raging Blast did over Tenkaichi was "signature skills". It was an extra character specific attack like punch or basic ki blasts. It wasn't powerful and just a single hit but some had great utility like Piccolo quickly stretches his arm to pull an opponent back into melee range, Metal Cooler had this teleport one that would have you appear anywherr the enemy is for a quick strike but if it was blocked it left you vulnerable, Vegeta has a quick ki blast barrage that you could combo into, others had stunning attacks, etc

The dialogue that happens during battle in Raging Blast 2 is for unique character fights aka fights that happened in the series. So fights like goku vs frieza, gohan vs cell, would have dialogue as if you were playing a story mode

Tenkaichi Tag Team Actually has a lot of pretty decent mods like making it look like XV2, raging blast, Budokai Tenkaichi 1,2,3 also has custom movesets, special, and forms

The thing about Ultimate Tenkaichi, if you pay attention enough, you notice all characters have a built in fighting pattern that lets you easily guess if they pick left or right. Took me like a week to notice it tho.

i LOVE this series, so much nostalgia! subscribed and looking forward to your new videos :D

Good job Niosai, I'm glad to see your channel growing! Looking forward to seeing more awesome content *cough* Naruto games *cough*

tenkaichi tag team is criminally underrated. That 4 player mechanic is literally the greatest thing ever

Another banger from Niosai in the DBZ game reviews. Seriously well made videos, always a banger and joy to watch.

Damn you are pumping these out my man. Don’t get burnt out. Love the content!

As a Dbz nerd content like this just fills me with joy please keep making this quality stuff

So, is the next “I played every Dragon Ball game in 2021” going to be DBZ for Kinect, Battle of Z, Xenoverse, Xenoverse 2, FighterZ and Kakarot? Also, would you consider doing the handheld games: Legacy of Goku, Taiketsu, Legacy of Goku 2, Legendary Super Warriors, Supersonic Warriors, Buu’s Fury, Supersonic Warriors 2 and Attack of the Saiyans? I’m so glad I never bought Ultimate Tenkaichi because it just seems awful

Yes yes finally I've been waiting for this you should make more of this its really good keep up the good work

Damn bro just subbed a few days ago when I got recommended the first Budokai Tenkaichi vid you made! Glad to see you already getting them sponsors so you can secure that bag 🙌

I can't believe you got a Sponsorship so fast! You're going places!!

I also loved how RB had the light shaded SS hair rather than just being gold all the time. This was definitely a nod to the animation direction the Anime took.

This is the kind of content I want from KZfaq! Keep it up!

Hi! Just subbed after binging all of your other videos and was instantly excited to watch this!! Raging Blast 2 hits home all over again :)

Raging blast was so beautiful, bright, and fun

You could also jump transformations in Tenkaichi 3 if you had enough blast stocks, you could choose which form based on the directional output you gave while hitting the transformation button. So R3 and right on the d-pad would give SS2 and so on I believe

A future video on all the Dynasty Warrior: Gundam games would be SO EXCITING imo. Loving this channel so far.

18:46 fun fact: In this game, you can glitch out the customize, and override the value limit of any character, making them obscenely strong using a specific item many more times than you should. It does however instantly removes the ability to change that character's customize profile after that.

The algorithm has been suggesting this video series to me all week and I'm happy I finally watched it. You make really good reviews and I'm definitely going to sub and check out the rest of your stuff. I think it would be really cool if you did the Legacy of Goku games.

Ultimate tenkaichi had good graphics and the create a character feature i loved a lot. The fighting mechanics were a bit boring but the ultimates looked cool and was animated well imo. Also the fact that some hairstyles changed when going super saiyan with your created character was so cool (something xenoverse 2 can learn from, thanks to modders for creating the option tho) and changing character aura and fighting styles was amazing. I replayed this game multiples times and enjoyed it everytime. Its a weird game that locks u in somehow.

I was curious what the best DBZ video game was and your videos have been an invaluable resource. imo there is no better resource than someone who's actually played them all, which is what I find particularly appealing about your videos. Liked and Subscribed, eager to see more content.

Back on these vids again. You do an absolute amazing job with these a d it's a proper trip down memory lane. I was gonna ask if you were you would place the 'battle of Z' game or if you would review it at some point. It's quite fun.

I love raging blast 2 and imo it’s the best fighting system in a dragon ball game. It’s a lot like super smash bros melee where there’s so much hidden tech that opens up a ton of combo potential. The game just did a bad job of explaining it and 90% of people have no clue how deep it can get

I honestly wouldn't make a point against Raging Blast 2 for not having a traditional story mode. A lot of Dragon Ball games retread the same story over and over, so having an arcade-y type mode that is to the point is a nice change of pace.

Really liked the video, really good cover for an amazing series that will always be in my heart lol

2:58 You can also choose a form in Tenkaichi 3. With L3+Up you go to the strongest form, and you can go down a form with L3+down. L3+left or right allows you to fuse if you have the other half of the fusion in your team. And the direction determines whether you use Potara or regular fusion for Goku and Vegata

I think budokai tenkaichi 3 should have a feature that allows you to unlock the characters easier becasue it's such a pain but fun in every other way

Aah ultimate tenkaichi. The game that's infinitely more fun to watch than to play.

Great video Trevor I loved all the tenkaichi games growing up except rock paper scissor. Loved you more in cow chop

Man, these games bring back nostalgia. This is my entire childhood right here. Thanks so much for bringing back a piece of it. 🔥

I wish there was a raging blast 3

3:00 actually in Tenkaichi 3 at least you CAN decide which form you transform to from base. You can go straight to ssj3 Goku from base for example, it just costs more of your blast stocks. You do this by holding a direction on the d-pad corresponding to the transformation you want, while you are clicking the thumb stick to transform. This is also how you do fusions mid-match.

Great, thorough video. I would have loved explicit discussion about the character roster in each game.

This is a sick video glad you’re revisiting all the dbz games

Loving this channel so far, dude 🙂

11:17 I'm not entirely sure either, but a good example is if Future Gohan is fighting 17 or 18 and his health gets low, he'll give the "I won't die even if you kill this body" quote

I just discovered your channel. Great stuff man. Love these types of series dives.

I'm glad I found you through YT recommend. Your content is great!

Dude you’re one of my new favorite KZfaqrs. Keep these videos up king 👑

Survival in Tenkaichi Tag Team is not endlessly, it ends after 100 opponents are defeated (50 battles), you can gain health/ki/union or energy by fulfilling conditions which makes it somewhat easy to beat if you bring a friend along (Or if you customize your characters with health recovery capsules).

i remember commenting that you should paly dragon ball games and then i completely forgot about it, i searched your channel again and it was a pleasant surprise that you played almost all of them, great videos man keep it up

Awesome job as always man, I hope they return to the Tenkaichi gameplay style with a new game soon as it is just so good and I'd love to play with DBS characters in that style. Also Tenkaichi Tag Team is very accessible through emulators on your phone and the modding community is so good, I spent so many hours playing with them on my phone. It definitely deserves more recognition than it gets.

In budokai tenkaichi 3 doing a rush combo super attack ( cutscenes where your character do a combo to your opponent like goku meteor smash) will launch the opponent always in the same direction and replace both players in the center of the map ( or at a specific spot predetermined). Also in tenkaichi 3 you could also select the level of transformation, from base to ssj3 by just pressing on the d-pad a direction, tho it consumes more energy charge.

Bro your channel blew up congrats man!!!

Easily the kind of content I wanna see. Some errors but they were nitpick at most. You got a new follower bro thanks for the video. 💯💯🙏

Let's go just came back from academy and I have this amazing video to watch. Thank you so much

Love the content man may the algorithm bless this channel

Loved this video!!!

You are riding the wave of the algorithm like a boss with your videos. Keep surfing since you deserve it 👍

Another great video!

hey your first Sponsored nice! congrats man you made it!

Playing ultimate tenkaichi as a kid I instantly gave up cuz I had no idea of what was going on, after hearing what you had to say you got me interested in trying it again!

Love your content

Nice video and series fr. You should do One Piece games next!

Wow, a sponsor!!! Congrats, my dude! Keep it up!!!

Lowkey when I was 12 and dbz for kinect dropped I had a guilty pleasure with it in the sense that it felt like what ultimate tenkaichi was meant to be. Played it when my parents were gone so I could really flail around LOL, remember there being a couple missions that were super challenging

I just watch part 1 like a hour ago. Man you upload fast

Now what if you did all of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja games or Clash of the Ninja games or both? Love the content you brought to YT btw, happy holidays.

Loving the videos man🤘🏻

MY BOY GETTING SPONSORS LEFT AND RIGHT YOU LOVE TO SEE IT.

another banger video bro

Love your videos! I hope you can get around to doing The Legacy of Goku games and some of the more obscure games like DB Sagas and the 2D fighter on 3DS

Great vid! As an idea for a future video - how about all the non-canon transformations across the games? Characters such as SSJ3 Vegeta, Yamcha/Tien fusion dance or even the Buu absorbs like Piccolo and Frieza. The What-if from Budokai 1 showed a potential Cell with Krillin absorbed at the very end in a cutscene as well if I remember correctly.

Great stuff!!! Which one is your favorite?? I gotta give it to bt3. I like how the fast dash (without ki ) is the standard way to move. Feels much more like dbz!!!

I love the customization in raging blast 2, there’s so many different ways you can boost characters stats and i also love the fact you can change characters auras

I was hoping really for tenkaichi tag team and u did it

You deserve more subs, great videos.

I loved raging blast. One of the reasons is because you could make some absolutely broken custom decks with certain characters. Specifically tien. You could buff the heck out of his ultimate attack to kill the opponent in only 4 to 5 shots (remember, you could shoot like, 8 or 9 times at full health) and you could make it so your super/ultimate attacks couldn't be blocked. So if you hit the opponent at all, they just die. It was so fun

Nice job with the video!
