    @@brotbrotsen1100 DOA6 had a good foundation for the actual game, it's a solid fighting game and everything. But yes, the monetization of the game made it DOA. When you have a day 1 season pass that costs more than the actual game itself (and it only lasted for a few months before the next season pass came out, for the same high price). And even if people wanted to buy individual costumes on the PC version they weren't able to, that was only available for the PS4 version of the game. PC players could only get outfits by buying the season passes. (They did end up changing that way later, but the game was already dead at that point.) Not to mention that a bunch of reviews negatively focused on the games character designs and completely ignoring the actual gameplay (which is par for the course in gaming journalism I guess).

Basically 255 is the item limit, and since the game only checks to see if you've talked to yajirobe, not whether or not you have a bean, it just deducts a senzu bean from your inventory whether you have one or not. Since you have 0, it rolls you back over to having a full stack 🤣

    I remember having fun with Supersonic Warriors and that was on the same system. Definitely better sprite work and it had the characters fly. Though I kept using Frieza and he’s kinda nuts in the game. His super is the planet killing attack he does in the show and while it’s super easy to dodge (as it just goes straight down), it makes a 45 second clock where you win once it times out. The only way to prevent the clock is to take the hit, which takes out half of max lol. So I would just charge it up, hurl it and then just dodge for 45 seconds. Why yes, I am a degenerate

    I strongly appreciated you having someone from the team of Webfoot like Gerry Swanson basically go into detail about what was happening with the making of Taiketsu. I never once thought that they had an arena fighting game planned at the time, but couldn't get to it due to time constraints and trying their hardest to make Taiketsu what it was meant to be rather than what we got. It definitely makes me appreciate Legacy of Goku 2 a thousand times more given the context of what goes on in developing the game. Judging by the video covering the making of The Legacy of Goku 2, those people genuinely cared about making the sequel one to remember. The looks, the gameplay, the mechanics, and most of all, the music in the game is simply amazing. Dragon Ball eventually did get plenty of arena fighters though, with some being good like the Raging Blast series and some being pretty bad as time goes on, like Ultimate Tenkaichi and the Xenoverse series.

    I played this back in the day, and I think it's the most disappointed I had been with a licensed game at the time. I remember some people defending it with "Well, it's on the GBA, so what did you expect?", to which my go-to response was always, "Yeah, you know what else is on the GBA? Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival." Granted, I know now that every game dev story is different and porting a classic game is different from making a new one from scratch, but that really doesn't make the game any better.

    Battle Beast for PCs would make for an interesting pick for this series, I feel. Visually it's honestly really damn good, and it got decent reviews at the time, but trying to play it today shows how rough of a fighting game it truly was, and I think the positive reviews at the time were mainly a mix of the excellent presentation & the generally dire options PC gamers had when it came to fighting games (at least ones that weren't ports of arcade or console games). For every One Must Fall, there were tons of terrible PC fighters.

    Lol that dig at jump force. Nice job matt. Honestly I don’t know what’s worse. A game that’s on the GBA. The GBA had a lot of games that looked really bad on it. So taiketsu is a little excused but not really. But jumpforce has no excuse. It’s style choice was made by design not by limitation. It’s honestly insulting that jumpforce is on the same console that has fighterZ and FF7R. I despise the look of jumpforce. Playdough character models. Never again!
