Well to let you know the dragon ball fighters story mode. Timeline is set after the events of Dragon Ball, Resurrection F, but before Goku, black timer storyline, and before tournament of power storyline.

The conversations between character in this game were hilarious

Damn girl. I was just saying i haven't seen a video from you in while, then "voila." An almost two hour long video? Let's go!

Normally i always preferred a dbz game being 3d and the gameplay being like dbz ultimate tenkaichi,but with fighterz i love the game's art style and it's 2d arcade gameplay but oh god the fact that most of the characters have to be bought with cash is just a bummer, also i remember you can change the intro song to the original dbz budokai 3 theme which is awesome

I'm always looking forward to you posting and this didn't disappoint

I grew up in the 90’s, I didn’t think DBZ games would look better than hyper dimension. Then I saw final bout and my mind was blown. But then I got budokai for Christmas and the rest is history! My biggest complaint about fighterz is the loading times.. it is absolutely BRUTAL. It pulls me out of the game. But I got the game and all the characters for like 20$ last year on Xbox so I’m fine. It’s flashy and beautiful but it certainly doesn’t engage me as much as the past games did.

Ahhhh "Warrior" "Wario(r)" lol now u see how the letter "R" is so weird to pronounce in different countries (if they HAVE it in their language)

For the dlc argument, I recommend just buying the season passes which sometimes go for sales which greatlly reduces the overall cost, saddly as predatory as the practice seem, releasing characters like that is how fighting games extend their lifespan, and believe it or not is better than the old days when you had to literally buy the game again just to get the new characters and balancing (this practice was still in use up to Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs Capcom 3), nowadays sure dlc can still be pricey but is not the worst it has been and who knows, project L might make f2p an actually viable model for fighting games.

It's so funny how the Red Ribbon Army is pretty much the driving force for the supermajority of above-average Dragon Ball stories. The original RRA Saga? Where Dragon Ball came into it's own fully. Cell Saga? The peak of Z. Super Hero? The peak of Super's actual stories. Broly peaks in animation, but Super Hero is what the fandom has been wanting (the plot to get the hell over Goku) for literal decades. Fighterz? The peak of original plots for the games.

@@EternalStorm796 See, I didn't expect to like Cell Max but I liked it because of the execution. Namely, in-universe it's a bad idea forced by higher ups who are just repeating ideas thinking it'll work as well or better than it did last time, and his own creator never wanted to create him in the first place but was forced to. Cell Max is meta commentary, and so works perfectly fine to me. Cell Max exists to reject the concept behind Cell Max. Plus, it was the driving force for one of my favorite fights for one singular reason: without Goku and Vegeta around to be stupid, everyone just gangs up on Cell Max and works together.

I love this Dragon Ball Z game!

I like to imagine at the end of the villain arc, the villains base power increased from what it was normally, so Ginyu force, Cell, and Nappa don't get completely stomped in the fight...

Wow, it only took 30 years but finally they made a Dragon Ball videogame.

Thank you :)

There is something about this video being 1 hour and a half long that makes me full of joy

The game itself is my only fighter that I play online. The single player content in the game might be lacking compared to a lot of other fighting games, But the single player story is both phenomenal and and quite replayable. In fact i'm pretty sure This inspired Capcom to implement the rpg Elements into street fighter six. And I love how much flexibility you have in combos And how much flexibility you have in setups. However, I cannot say that after spending Over four thousand hours in the game, racking up twelve thousand matches against various Opponents of different skill, That the game is enjoyable all the time. I wouldn't call myself a casual but i'm not as Pro as some of the players that are out there. I would call Myself an Advanced intermediate. While the game is easy to get into for the most part, It is very hard to master. And not in the sense, it's hard to master because it has a lot of depth that can be discovered, but it's hard to master because of how lopsided the skill ceiling is. You will either start out knowing how to play the game and just improve upon that. Or it'll start out not knowing how to play at all and end up mashing half the time. There is very little in between. And I will be honest my first few hundred hours were Getting bodied in rank and just struggling to find my footing in a game That doesn't track people's skill that well. And unlike a lot of fighting games I have played in the past. I feel that delay matters most in fighter z than any other fighting game I have ever played. I just can't say the online is perfect or even good outside of playing with friends or a select group of individuals of similar skill. And while I do play on playstation Mostly and am only at rank of Majin, I have played so much of the game that I can only find decent set with tournament Players or people who are ranks above me skill-wise. And because of the lopsided skill ceiling I often find strong players mocking other players because they know those players probably will never beat them. In other games I have played like Tekken 7 I would often find players who were better than me but because that game is so much harder input wise you would often find that your opponent would respect you more if you did win a few then you do in fighterz. But that is just my experience with online. If we're talking about just the game itself it is damn near the best fighting game ever created and maybe the most polished Dragon Ball Game out there in terms of pure combat. And that story mode May well be the only thing you need to play if you just want to experience the game as a game and not a competitive fighting experience. The animations, the sounds, and the characters all feel like they were actually from an episode of Dragon Ball super. With a hint of Dragon Ball Z humor and epicness thrown in as well. It's just sad that fighting games have some of the most lopsided Community out of any genre of video game.

finally a story recap vid

Seeing a full breakdown of this story is pretty fun, considering this game is what got me into DBZ as a whole. I'm glad to see long time fans enjoying it despite the genre having a somewhat steep barrier to entry. (Still sad Beerus isn't playable in the story though, cause he's my main and favorite DB character in general) As a sidenote, I found watching this really interesting too, since it kinda shows off a perspective on the game from someone who is newer to traditional FGs. I came to this game from Skullgirls so I was unsure on how well the tutorial worked for new players, and seeing how easy it makes tags and sparking and stuff to ignore kinda stood out to me due to how integral those are in PvP.

Just discovered your vids, good fun stuff. You should do a xv2 story mode deep dive too

I wish we would’ve gotten these graphics/artstyle in a modern budokai game. I absolutely love the way it looks, but didn’t it play it much because it’s such a hardcore fighting game

Since it took you so long to play it, I'm surprised that you didn't buy the deluxe edition one of the many times that it was on sale... A $100+ game was being sold for $20 or less, frequently

What a chilled and relaxing synopsis of this game, with some bits and bites here and there :D Thanks for the vids and keep it up! Looking forward to your take on Tenkaichi 4 vids when it launches! PS. The bloopers are hilarious xD

The dlc is on sale about once a month

Strange that even though FighterZ carries a lot from the Extreme Butoden games (same developers) it doesn't carry over the flight transition... Close second favorite storyline. Especially the villain arc. If only there was an interaction with all 3 Frieza, Cell, and Buu. And one with Frieza meeting the Kid Buu clone.

The only pay to win dlc character was lab coat 21, one of her supers gave a debuff to the enemy of 21% kess damage, and you were able to combo into it. Before she got nerf tournaments and locals had to ban her

enjoying hearing another kiwi talk about nerdy stuff, just like the bus to school

*Man I was a monster with Captain Ginyu back in the day when this game first came out but people got way to cracked*

It's just kinda an unfortunate side effect that making these characters is so expensive, especially when you can't demo them for youself, but you're kinda expected to just buy who you personally want to play. Kinda an issue with traditional fighters DLC in general. Gets kinda worse when you do get into competitive and the newly released character is busted, though eventually nerfed.

That’s interesting to me how you found the story mode to be the most engaging. To you, that was the meat and potatoes of the game. As someone that has around 250 hours of total game time in DBFZ, I honestly never even came close to completing the story mode 😂 I played it for little awhile when i first got the game, but quickly got into training and playing matches against increasingly difficult AI. I eventually created my team of 3, learned combo routes from KZread vids, and spent hours upon hours grinding my way up in ranked matches. This game is amazing because not only is it awesome to play and fantastic to look at, it also has something for everyone. We can all spend hours and hours playing this game whether we play the story, fight against friends, or practice combos and grind our way up the ranked ladder. If only rollback net code would finally drop 😭

isnt the dash button the fly button?

In a traditional 2D (or 2.5D) fighter, flying is kind of pointless unless its like a special stance characters can use. In Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, there's several characters that can fly for a few seconds to stay in their air to extend their combos, but thats about the extent of it

A Majin is a play on the words, "Ma" meaning evil, and "djinn". Majin Buu is an evil genie. That's what his race is

Damn, so Android 21 also wasn't mechanical at all I guess; just created via cellular manipulation. Really weird understanding of what an android/cyborg is.

Maybe do a video on the xenoverse games.

Hilarious that dragonball fans prefer the games without actually balanced or nuanced combat

25:48 love the reference to Arin 💀

Need the music at 36:00 , 55:45 , and 1:28:55 . All bangers. Great review but I will say I think the game still feels like a dragon ball game, it's just different since it's a 2D traditional fighting game rather than a 3D arena fighter. I also think if you ever have time to check out the game some more since there's a lot of anime references in the moves and whatnot

Thumbs up for Majora’s Mask!

I will say, the characters are actually pretty cheap if you buy them in the fighter pass. Especially when the game and these packs go on sale all the time, it's nowhere near $100. I've always thought paid dlc characters in fighting games were justified because it takes way more work than just swapping out a model and calling it a new character like a modern budokai would do.

I love FighterZ, the dialogue exchanges are chefs kiss but god does the single player and arcade do a *terrible* job of teaching you how to play the game. It’s either too easy or puts some really bad habits into you… but that only matters online I suppose

This is my favorite game and I cannot recommend it. 3.4k+ Hrs on PC. 2K+ Hrs On PS4. 1K+ Hrs On Nintendo Switch. Onlinel after 5+ years: *Winning in any sort of way* "Connection Has Been Lost" ARCSYS decides best of 3 Is the only option for ranked online, this absolutely kills Online matchmaking. You wait 8-10 minutes to find a match then you play 2 rounds and then its back to waiting in a queue. 2-3 Minutes of gameplay vs 7-15 minutes waiting sucks.

29:10 well.. you see Dragonball FighterZ is a Modern Fighting Game, which means that you don't get the full experience unless you fork over more money for DLC since Modern Fighting Games are more like Live Service Game, or in other words, if there is No New Season Pass Announced The Game is practicly Dead. but What I hate the most about DBFZ is that there is No playable Hercule/Mr. Satan... WTF!?

You shouldn't be sorry, you didn't do anything wrong! For what it's worth, the sprite (actually model) flipping is a deliberate choice. This is technically a 3-D game, so there's no reason they *have* to flip it, they could just have the same animation play when the model is turned around. They chose not to though, because if they did, the animations would look completely different when you switched sides (the limb that was in the back facing one way is now in the front, etc.) And if the mechanics don't work for you, they don't work for you. No harm in that. Traditional fighters aren't for everyone.
