I remember forcing my older brother to pirate this game and burn it onto CDs at like, 6 different occasions. Not because I was any good at it, but because I was obsessed with the manga-accurate aesthetic

One thing I'll say about this game, it's one of the few games with Chi-Chi as a playable character, I wish she was included in Dragonball FighterZ but unfortunately it was confirmed they're not adding any more characters to the game :(

One thing that really surprised me about revisiting Super DBZ after all these years is the music. Dunno how I didn't notice before... it's bloody fabulous.

Seeing more and more talk about this game brings a smile to my face. I love seeing obscure or hidden things like this get recognized and brought into the limelight on KZread or elsewhere. Hell, I learned there's a whole community still running games online for Super DBZ. Amazing what people will do for the things they love 👍

The game over screen after beating the game is very much an arcade fighting game trope. Usually they'll ask you to ask you to put your initials in if you made the leader board in either time completed or points.

Something I haven’t seen many people mention about this game is that whilst it’s said that the game only has the dub cast for the audio, the PAL version of this game comes with the Japanese voices only and doesn’t let you change to the dub cast.

But honestly I like this graphic style of approach, like why the texture is so shiny shiny and over colorful palette..

I love how you change your intro depending on the games that you're reviewing, also I remember playing this game on ps2 it was alright but the special moves looked off

I've played this a decent bit but never came back because I just preferred Budokai style games. The soundtrack has some bangers in it and the graphics are pretty good.

Played this all the time at a local card shop on an arcade machine back in the day. Took a bit to get used to but had fun. The art and transitions in your videos are top notch. You do a really great job every time

It's pretty much a prototype to fighterz

Super DBZ is my 3rd favorite DB game, its so well made for a licensed fighting game, its just that its more appealing towards people familiar with fighting games or wanting to get into those.

Your KZread name is a good name, very hard to find when I search for your channel, it truly is Hidden 😅great video

Also funfact : european version had Japanese dub only, but thats because europe (specifically france, portugal, spain and so on) were more familiar with Dragon Ball and japanese productions (they even got the japanese 16bit DBZ games localized there)

This game is goated to me, not only is a it a rare example of a dragonball manga game, the only other I can think of off the top of my head is Dragonball Online, but its a legitimate fighting game with DEEP mechanics

Another wonderful video. I liked to play this alot when it came out despite being trash at this sort of fighting game. I liked the art style and the gameplay with the freedom to roam the map and the high level of destruction. Great job.

You deserve way more view ! Great videos, great thumbnails ! Please continue :)

Bought this as a kid, I felt like a crazy person being the only one who remembers this game, even my younger brother I played with forgot about it!

Just found your channel and love it! Keep it up! I just subscribed 😎

Great video! Keep up the good work

Hey I love your videos please keep doing them!

I like the graphics and characters just the damn controls kill me 🥲

I like how the game takes the artistic style of the original manga instead of the anime. Wish more anime games would do that more often nowadays.

It's disappointing to see yet another person that has their opinion of the FGC is sullied by genuinely cringe and toxic individuals like LTG.

Watching Justin Wong talk about this game and seeing pro matches the other month... Absolutely SICK. When I played this on PS2 back in 2006 I thought it was good, but the way they play takes my appreciation and the game as a whole to a "Super" level

Out of all the DBZ games on the PS2, Super Dragonball Z was my all-time favorite. What I loved the most about was how they stuck with the manga art style with the game instead of going with the anime. I always wished they had of made a Super DBZ 2 but, alas, it didn't happen. Sad, too, this game was the 💩 back in the day. I remember spending many an evening after work playing the game. If they ever do any remasters of any of the DBZ games, I seriously hope this is one they pick.

the editing in this is so good

I Had this game. It didn't have a lot of content and, despite that, I played a lot. Its combat system was quite good

I remember renting Super Dragonball Z ps2 game at Hollywood Video when I was 15.

You're not alone. Was never really aces at the game myself. Either the instructions on what to do weren't exactly clear or I my attention span was too short to try the tutorial stages. ...Might be the latter now that I think about it.

This game is good very good I love it..... it's a real shame I suck horribly at it making it very hard to enjoy for me personally

The hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective. ✌☯️

This game will make a comeback, it's immaculate

Super DBZ I had this on the PS2 so many great memories 🍻

Played this a bit when it was new and it was in a weird place for me. The graphics were so good it made going back to any other dbz game at the time feel like a downgrade even though i didn't like the gameplay. So by looking too good but not playing that well (to my tastes) it made me disinterested in DBZ games for awhile. at least until xenoverse

God i played this so much as a kid, probably my favorite classic dragonball game

When i was a kid i thought the game was medicore but when i was a teenager i liked the game because when i was a teenager i finally figured out street fighter controls. However one thing i find stupid is other fighting games have better tutorials this game just had training mode only which is annoying its like they almost rushed

Hey hidden you should do a retrospective for dragon ball z raging blast 1&2

this was always such an odd game to me, like i know it's not a bad game but it's only good in about 30 minuet bursts, then i get bored with it

Played this in the arcades in Hong Kong. Wished I bought a memory card.

Always covering the good shit.

This game looks awesome in its concepts.

That's a fair review.

I remember letting each character beat me and going to the next stage with this game

Is that kaggy in the background music

I’m not sure if this is appropriate, but it’s hot to listen to you talk about dragon ball ps2 games. It feels like KZread is finally fixing their algorithm and serving content and creators I want to watch

Burst limit video?

The graphics not colour palette in this game are beautiful

the one thing this game lacked for me was duel or vs mode with cpu's, doing arcade and survival over and over can only last me so long, for me, fighterz, infinite world and budokai 3 are the top of the top.

Yes yes and more yes

it pissed me off that in the ps2 era practically no dbf games same to the xbox

I played the hell out of this game. It really was Dragon Ball Z with street fighter controls which it wasn't bad at all I wish the came out for the original Xbox. Plus It was a good time it just the street fighter controls you definitely need to practice.

This game looks SO GOOD

I have that game since 2006 despite my lack of memories of playing that game. That game is somewhat interesting even though i hate the "Action" bar mechanics. That game is mediocre to me even though the cinematic cutscenes of ultimate attacks are cool to watch. I love that Chi Chi is playable which is unfortunately rare to see her playable in Dragonball games. This game seems like it's an experimental game.

The budokai series is for Dragonball fans. Super Dragonball is for fighting game fans.
