Kinda confused

[DewPrism]

Didn't Xenoverse 1&2 already achieve this type of gameplay?
Why are they reverting back to this style of combat when Dragon Ball Fighterz became the most commercially profitable?

Or am I missing something here?

Edit: So I found out through comments that the Tenkaichi series is nothing like Xenoverse at all. I personally didn't even know the Tenkaichi series existed since I only played Budokai 2&3 back on the ps2. Sorry for the confusion.

Shhhh, hide, don't let them find you, comparing budokai tenkaichi to xenoverse is dangerous :O

[Vlady]

Jokes apart, the best way to describe xv is an extremely, EXTREMELY, pale ghost of tenkaichi.

The following game, sparking zero, is actually Budokai Tenkaichi 4.
The reason for the seemingly different name is that budokai tenkaichi was only the america/european name, in japan it was Sparking (tenkaichi) Sparking Neo (tenkaichi 2) and Sparking Meteor (tenkaichi 3), now they kept a single name worldwide: Sparking Zero

After Budokai Tenkaichi 3 there hasn't been a SINGLE db game, ANYWHERE(doesn't matter the platform or the year) that got even remotely close to the same levels BT3 reached back then...for 17 entire years.

The only one that was still acceptable was raging blast 1-2 (its ps3 spiritual successor, which is also 10+ years old).

This, on the other hand, is the OFFICIAL successor of the ps2's masterpiece.

Sadly you didn't get to enjoy it back then, but as of now this is what's probably going to be the best DB game of the next 10 years.

There's lots of things that can be said about sparking zero and the old BTs, but to make it short, Xenosh1t has absolutely NOTHING to do with the tenkaichi series.

There's probably hundreds if not THOUSANDS of videos or posts that explain clearly everything, so you just need to look around if you're interesting if finding out more.

Wait, so this game is going to be like Budokai 3? Man, I hope they don't screw this one up.

Not budokai, budokai tenkaichi, those are different games.
Budokai = 2d
Budokai Tenkaichi = 3d

Of course the differences don't end here, just to say a few more, BT had a HUGE roster (something sparking zero will have too) and a way more complex fighting system, with overheads, low attacks, counters, grabs, attacks that ignore guard, hyper guard, side attacks et cetera, Budokai Tenkaichi was as technical as a 2d fighter while being 3d, something simply amazing.

[DewPrism]

Well, to clarify... Budokai never even entered my mind when thinking about this game. I grew up playing the Budokai games (i'm 35) and loved them. I had no idea the name was different in Japan. No, i'm not an expert in this field, I apologize. Thanks for the info,

Most importantly, there only 1 key point you must know.

You may already know it, but just in case I'll say it explicitly because its of utmost importance for everybody to understand it as clearly as possible:

Ultimate tenkaichi IS NOT a tenkaichi, that game literally just stole the name, they literally did a poll of 5 names, and this one has been chosen because it had the word "tenkaichi" in it

xD

[DewPrism]

Anyway, I'll give it a chance. I like more competitive style fighting games.

A nice choice imo, for now you might wanna watch one of the gameplays avaible online.

Those are mostly noobs that can't land a single decent combo, but you'll at least get a vague idea of what you might get yourself into.

Ok In short,
Xenoverse does not have beam clashes and is also missing a ton of other stuff as well as a horrible intrusive UI that is constantly showing damage numbers that you cannot turn off without turning everything off.
So Xenoverse is what Dragonball Online became Sparking Zero is continuing what DBZ fighting games were for years before Xenoverse went back a few steps.

This game will be epic.

But wasn't Dragonball online good unlike XV? O.o

Dunno for sure since I didn't play it, but heard it wasn't bad at all

I was never able to play Dragonball online so I cannot comment to that.

Xenoverse was something to do until I got my Ps3 and Ps2 working again for TenKaichi 3 and Raging blast 1 & 2

whatever these people on this forum say, dont listen to them.

xenoverse is fundamentally different in both gameplay and style to tenkaichi/sparking

so... to say that the games are the same style of combat is just ignorant.

why do you think most people who loved bt3 hated xv? because the fighting is different.
id even say they are sorta different genres. both arena fighting games but both with different ways to go about it.

Ok. My only confusion (until these fine people in this forum informed me about) was that Budokai and Tenkaichi were the same thing. I'll be perfectly honest, I grew up playing BUDOKAI 2 and 3. Not the Tenkaichi series. Budokai 3 is more of a fighting game while Tenkaichi is more of a DBZ style type game.

With that being said: This Sparking Zero game is a direct sequel to Tenkaichi series. Not Budokai, and not Xenoverse. Which is slightly a bummer for me since i'm a fighting game enthusiast... BUT i'm still going to give it a chance since i'm being told there are combos and skillful gameplay involved. Sounds interesting enough.

I think you'll love it, but hey, in case you end up disliking it, you still have 2 hours of gameplay to figure out what you wanna do :P
