[Cascade]

Awesome. It will be a definite buy for me. Looking forward to it.

[m121akuma]

Oh SHIT, this looks Super DBZ style to me. FUUUUCK YEEEES

[G.O.T]

hmmm. Could this be the sequel to chou dbz like that SF2 creator said said was gonna happen?

[Tigerboi]

I would like another bodukai, never played chou, and I'm glad it's not Tenkaichi.

[kev_the_bev]

no homo at the game's title.

[cain[e]]

The whole universe is going to DIE!

[Syxx573]

The game better have the song "head cha la" in it or else I'm not gonna play it

[cain[e]]

The game better have the song "head cha la" in it or else I'm not gonna play it

It better have the lucky star version of it too.

[SeizureGummies]

The game better have the song "head cha la" in it or else I'm not gonna play it
It's been in almost all the the other DBZ games out there (even Super/Chou), so I don't see why not.

[Ace London]

Damn. DBZ will never die

[Anakron]

I hope my body can take it.

[orochizoolander]

IMO all dbz games suck except budokai3 which was a damn fun and fast game i wish they would just port it to 360 with updated graphics and online play.

Lets hope this doesn't suck.

[Hatred Edge]

Vegito, Broly, Bardock better be in it. So far it looks good. Hope it doesn't suck.

[4649]

I hope my body can take it.

:rofl:

[Autocrat1]

I find it very scary that a month after a new DBZ game comes out ANOTHER one is announced.

Those Saiyans are some horny ass breeders.

[Cody Travers]

All I need to know that nail and hachihyaku better be in this.

[Leebee Link]

It's in my other pants' pocket...

ONLY

IT DOESN'T MAKE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE GUYS



Bandai namco developing= crafts & meister

[Chachi]

Hey Vegeta, what does the scouter say about sales predictions for this game?

[Rick_Son]

looks like it could be real hot!

[ReXXXSoprano]

Sequel to Super Dragon Ball Z?!! HELL YES!!! Maybe this could be one of the good ones. Like Hyper Dimension, Budokai 3, and Super. Please don't let this suck!!!

[Alzarath]

IMO all dbz games suck except budokai3 which was a damn fun and fast game i wish they would just port it to 360 with updated graphics and online play.

Lets hope this doesn't suck.

Go play Hyper Dimension before I hurt you :o

[jswey]

Do you guys think Hyper Dimension is good? I've heard some praise for the game but when I tried to play it ... well, it wasn't too fun IMO.. maybe it just has not aged well.

[Bare Knuckle 2]

Hey Vegeta, what does the scouter say about sales predictions for this game?

It's over NINE THOUSAAAAANDD!

[Leebee Link]

It's over NINE THOUSAAAAANDD!

WHAT?!! NINE THOUSAND?!?!

[Geese Pants]

Hopefully the roster will be more diverse..............I'm looking forward to the game.

[Helter Skelter]

I think Super Dragon Ball Z was the best one, then Hyper Dimension.

[NegroNinja]

Hmn this game's got a lot of meter

More meters = MORE POWAH!!!! Looks good.

[BBCampbell]

Errrrrrrggghh..


YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO, BUT YOU CAN'T TUNA FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IISH!!!

[Worthless]

I think its a new Budokai.The whole flying kicks and stuff looks a little like goku's rush,but whether it's SDBZ2 or another Tenkaichi i'm picking this up.

[Captain Ryu]

Super Dbz was the only one I ever got into.

[Syxx573]

It's been in almost all the the other DBZ games out there (even Super/Chou), so I don't see why not.

also keeping fingers crossed for goku and vegeta to be in the game

[Luigi-Bo 87]

Krillin and Yamcha better be tops in this game.

[DARKHOKAGE]

so we can put links to scans from another game but when it was sf 4 it was a big deal.... what gives??



on a side note the game looks hot

[BeaTs*]

I'll still be playing budokai 3...

[Luigi-Bo 87]

I like T2 better than T3.

[Syxx573]

Krillin and Yamcha better be tops in this game.

i don't find it the least bit ironic that you would play a character who has never won a tournament match when you've probably never won one yourself

[Luigi-Bo 87]

i don't find it the least bit ironic that you would play a character who has never won a tournament match when you've probably never won one yourself

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!:annoy::mad::mad:

Krillin and yamcha are fuckin' dope and you know it. Piccolo is dope too. Sorry for not riding Goku's nuts.:arazz:

[BeaTs*]

I want Recoome! to play like he does in B3, but maybe a bit better

[PozerWolf]

Hard to say for sure what the game may be able to play like. But, as Worthless pointed out, it looks like another Budokai series.

In general, Super DBZ can only said to be the best one seeing as how it played more like a Street Fighter game. But due to its learning curve it didn't get too much people into the game, it was a sleepy hit for fanboys but a great game to those who actually took it seriously for a small period of time.

[Sonichuman]

DAMMIT! Now I have to reeeeally consider buying a 360 now! >(

[G.O.T]

Man screw that. They need an unlockable feature for japanese, and of course have the best dbz song ever. Spirit v Spirit. That's all you need. BTW this game shoulda been a DB game. Lil Goku ftw.

[ChairHome]

so we can put links to scans from another game but when it was sf 4 it was a big deal.... what gives??


The rules are a bit different for Japanese mags. Or should I say more lax.

[Sano]

Only DBZ games I've ever liked are Super Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z 2 on the Super Famicon. Buddokai's alright but not my cup of tea. The worst one is the one on Japanse Sega Saturn. LOL it's a freaking simulator. :rofl:

DBZ2 on the Super Famicon was a classic, I wish more people around here played it. Fireball face offs, Meteo Combos, split screens man it was ahead of it's time. Brolly was like Gouki who you had to meet special requirements to face him as the final boss. Hell you had to unlock Goku because the game was based on the later half of the Cell game plus 2 of the movies. Man you just haven't played a DBZ game until you've knocked out a Cell Jr. and heard him scream "JOOOOOOY!" :rofl:

If this is a sequel to Super DBZ by Craft & Meister I'm all over it. I hope they take advantage of online on the PS3 and 360. And for crying out loud if it comes to the US give us the option to hear their voices in Japanese. Eh I don't mind the English voices in Super too much because there isn't that much dialog but I grew up hearing "Super Saiyajin" and "Kakaroto" so I'd like to hear that again sans importing....

[Ferdinandz]

Hopefully the characters don't play exactly the same :\

[NegroNinja]

Daw crap It's being developed by Dimps >.< So much for this following Chou DBZ.

http://www.daizex.com/ December 17th article confirms it.

Website (http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/dbz_burstlimit/)

[Sano]

Ohs well... (Goes back to playing Chou...)

[Fir]

I can't remember the last time I played a DBZ game, guess I'm hopeful for this one. If it doesn't suck I might pick it up...

[Einlanzer]

*crosses fingers*

better not dissapoint.

[G.O.T]

well im kinda sick now...but hopefully it'll still be good.

-_-
What am I saying? Dimps never made a good fighter or anything else for that matter.

[King9999]

The balls are inert.

If this game is anything like Budokai 3, I'll keep an eye on it.

[Figcoinc]

DA...Ta.DA..DA (NUTSHOCK) Powww!

Okay now it works

Hmmn..okay I'm intrigued, but this can't play like Budokai, they need to think outside of their own damn box!

You sir are crazy, The Rumble Fish 1/2 and BUdokai 3 were all good
just everything else that was trash

[Rhio2k]

Isn't Dimps the same company that made that last arcade Yuu Yuu Hakusho fighter that was such big news, then dropped right off the map as soon as it came out (guess it sucked)? In that scene in the right page, bottom middle, the Goku vs Vegeta matchup, the life and power bars look kinda the same as YYH...

magic box has a section up, new pics

WOOO...the story mode looks like it's gonna be a beast!

[Hatred Edge]

I REALLY REALLY like how they set up the fights like how fights are in other 3D fighters. This looks to be the best thus far. I noticed there isn't a sight of Buu in the trailer.... Guess that means my boy Vegito won't be in it.:sad:

[Neo DX90]

I've never been a huge fan of the Budokai (or Tenkaichi) games, but the story mode alone has me considering this.

[EmblemLord]

Did you guys see SSJ Goku's eyes in that scan?

Fucking beast.

[Shukuda]

Hell yeah! It's finally time they revamped Budokai. Looks like bits and pieces of improved material from all previous Budokai games in one package. I seem some of them Shin Budokai goodness in there too. Game gets intenser in every new one.

[True Grave]

IMO all dbz games suck except budokai3 which was a damn fun and fast game i wish they would just port it to 360 with updated graphics and online play.

Lets hope this doesn't suck.

Chances of it not sucking are low. There was a time when it seemed like developers were going to put a legit effort into the games, as opposed to only making a shallow title with good presentation but little thought on gameplay. After the last few games it does not look like anything has changed.

Flashy presentation on the outside so the anime fans will buy into it and companies make a quick buck, crappy gameplay on the inside.

[Ki Shima]

all fighters are at a disadvantages online and thats the only reason i would really get it, so it makes me feel like "the hell??" when i know they could just bring out a mega advaced version of tenkaichi out for those consoles

the game looks good, but as true grave said it's highly possible theyre out to fuck us over

BUT- i doubt if its the same developers that made bodoukai -a game with dedicated players- will downgrade the game, it will be good, good for people offline

unless they full the title up with A LOT of things

[xero15]

well from the looks of it they went back to the budokai 3 system but changed some stuff to it obviously. looks like a new counter system was put in and a whole new dragon rush was added. what they need to do though is get rid of capsules, TCs, and hyper mode and change up the combos for each character though that way the game doesnt resort to repetitive guard cancels and weak combos.

[EmblemLord]

Yeah, this looks like a remixed Budokai Fighting engine to me.

Which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[xero15]

if they actually make this a decent fighter without all the TC heavy matches and considerable guard cancels this could be somewhat good. i enjoyed the TCs in b3 but they became worthless and broken with the inclusion of guard cancels.

[crazymasterhand]

how can something be worthless and broken?

[EmblemLord]

Worthless = Sucks ass

Broken = Godly

Oxymoron much? :looney:

[xero15]

easy your TC can be TC guard cancels are good but they build the meter of the opponent back up and then they could TC mid combo so it takes away a hell of a lot since now you have to wait for one person not to have meter to deal real damage. thats provided they know what they are doing. and broken does not always equal godly.

[Murt!]

Worthless = Sucks ass

Broken = Godly

Oxymoron much? :looney:

He means that the game's engine is broken.

[Goten X]

I've been waiting for Budokai 4 for three years. >_> This game looks like it will deliver. And like Budokai and BT, the third installment (you know it's coming) will be so damn epic. Which is saying a lot, because the PV is looking epic enough as it is.

[xero15]

He means that the game's engine is broken.

im saying it has it perks yes but some of those perks also bring down the system such as TC during the middle of a combo. its not that big of a deal but when matches come down to jab jab jab jab wait for the counter jab cuz i now have meter from blocking TC into a guard cancel combo repeat it gets uninspiring especially the fact that capsules weigh heavily on matches as well. still fun though

[crazymasterhand]

I see what you mean. like dodging keeps Goku from pinning you with KKKK- forever but it also causes annoying stuff like

I poke with Kid Goku's <P, opponent sidesteps the powerpole so I <P<P which tracks, but you can dodge before you recover from a sidestep so I get punished

[Tigerboi]

I expect the name to change to bodukai 4. Looks SO much like B3 and that's good.

[xero15]

I see what you mean. like dodging keeps Goku from pinning you with KKKK- forever but it also causes annoying stuff like

I poke with Kid Goku's <P, opponent sidesteps the powerpole so I <P<P which tracks, but you can dodge before you recover from a sidestep so I get punished

exactly but the thing that i think sucks most is the fact that i CAN hit you i CAN get you in an "INFINITE" i can fuck up your whole game for that matter but YOU CAN teleport out AFTER i do all the said things. yeah i just find it rediculous that anyone can land a combo but it can be cut off by pushing a button.

[Len Momono]

Reset again to the saiyans to cell...little selection of characters...no thanks...

[Cascade]

I would like another bodukai, never played chou, and I'm glad it's not Tenkaichi.

Just curious, why do people favor Budokai gameplay over Tenkaichi? Tenkaichi speed almost rival that of the anime itself. Although, I hope Burst Limit would have the same speed as Tenkaichi has.

[Tigerboi]

Having played tenkaichi, I can say it's more of fanservice on a disc than it is an actual fighting game. That just doesn't float my boat.

[Remix1213]

Yeah, Im more of a fan of Tenkaichi then of Budokai series. The free movement is what makes dbz. Its all about free movement and over the top fighting. Trying to make dbz like street fighter (super dbz) isnt the way to go imo. But imma play this anyway. Just my 2 cents...

[ReXXXSoprano]

Thank the lord its the Budokai style instead of that Tenkaichi (Sparking) nonsense.

[Hatred Edge]

Damn it does look great. Amazing really. Hopefully its better in gameplay i.e mixup and pokes/setups/zone than the other DBZ games.

[Geese Pants]

That beam struggle is hype..........

[Tigerboi]

Damn it does look great. Amazing really. Hopefully its better in gameplay i.e mixup and pokes/setups/zone than the other DBZ games.

B3 got so defense based in high levels that mixups were all you had. This is why the top tier characters all generated alot of ki. If anything, the teleport needs to be toned down this time and made less reliable. It beat EVERYTHING. Which that could've worked, but they need to limit the amount of times you can teleport.


It was basically get the other guy to run out of ki then rain hell on him.

[Hatred Edge]

Yeah I hear you. teleport was too damn good. They need to make it strict to avoid abuse. A problem in Burst Limit could be that Ki refills automatically rather fast. It could be fixed by constant increased penalty. Meaning that if you use Ki in rapid succession the gain speed will decrease more and more forcing players to manage their Ki more skillfully.

[digimonemporer]

I think I found a reason to buy a ps3, as long as this game goes to the GT series...there is NO fucking reason on why it shouldn't!!!

I mean if T3 can do it and add all those freakin characters, this game better as well!

[Syxx573]

you won't buy a ps3 for like 5 years

[digimonemporer]

Especially if certain games come out for the ps2 still!!!

[Cascade]

So, the speed did increase in this game. Nice. I hope they give Bardock the ssj transformation for fun. In fact, all sayians should have it. They're Sayians after all.

[Fulaani]

that looks great

[Hatred Edge]

Man I can't wait for this to come out.

[Geese Pants]

Sucks that any major players/transformations after Cell Saga won't be in this one...........I was hoping to play as Majin Buu.

[Hatred Edge]

You're telling me? My favorite character is Vegito.

[digimonemporer]

Hell fuckin nah, I'm not getting this. There is NO freaking reason this game DOESN'T GO past the Cell saga. WTF!!!

Looks like I'll be playing T3 and B3.1 forever!!!

[Geese Pants]

It'll probably be for a possible sequel..........

[digimonemporer]

A possible sequel? How could u go 500 (T3) steps forward and like over 9000 steps backwards (Burst Limit) and it's on PS3 at that?

Now don't get me wrong, I love B3. It was a solid game and had high replay value. Very easy on noobs to pick up and play. T3 involves a little bit or technical skill and not really noob ready. But I play em both pretty decent.

And I like how they are trying to combine the game mechanics of the two games. But to NOT add all the characters from T3 and then some is ridiculous. Why do people think that Super DBZ wasn't good...it had NO replay value. Who the fuck gives a damn about customizing a character. It's going to be banned from tournaments anyways.

I wouldn't mind waiting 2 - 3 years for this game. As long as they do it right and at least add in all the characters from T3.

Seriously.

[SOL Bandit]

You're telling me? My favorite character is Vegito.

He's crap, change your favorite to Gogeta.

Realize that there are two different developers for the budokai series. Dimps had nothing to do with the crapfest that was t3 and the likes of it. Notice in the GDC vid the guy speaking says they want it to feel like the old budokai(1,2,3), he says dimps wants it to feel more like a traditional fighter.
Im biased though so nothing you say about tenkaichi could make me acknowledge it as a game, it was fan service at its worst imo.

[Rhio2k]

he says dimps wants it to feel more like a traditional fighter.

Be nice if they added fuckin' ducking and jumping like traditional fighters. That lack makes it hard for me, as a person who only plays fighters, to not see this game as also fanservice, and thus not take it seriously.

[DietSoap]

Hmm...I wonder if it's gonna play like Shin Budokai (all moves available, no Capsule bullshit, and no mini-games-esque crap involving button timing for special moves/teleport escapes/Gogeta/Vegeto/Gotenks)...and truth be told, I'm really not seeing shit justifying this to only be for the latest systems.

tenkaichi 3 is miles ahead of tenkaichi 2

if you said tenkaichi 2 then i wouldnt be posting but your talking about tenkaichi 3, a REAL 3D fighting game that actually has depth, something that opens up a new world in fighting games and your talking down about it, you dont know what your talking about son :wtf: im surprised how selfish people are. thought fighting games was liked cos it symbolised the depths of martial arts and fighting but i guess i was wrong, it's just nostalgia......

[marshun]

gonna hate paying full price fur a Z game but it's cool

[xero15]

still hoping they leave out capsules. they were fun originially but made it hard to balance ki attack and defensive all at once. the better part though it looks like with a few subtle old similarities everyone looks like they will play differently from another. hopefully vegeta and piccolo will be beast in this game looking forward to guard cancels so long as the teleports dont destroy the game again.

[Rhio2k]

I wish to god they'd quit with the fuckin' "play through the anime's storyline and learn all about dbz" story mode. Everybody already played through this shit with the first 5 or so games. We already know how dbz's storyline goes. Chill with the shitty-looking 3d versions of cutscenes from the anime. They never look right. Just make this one a straight-up fighter.

[Hatred Edge]

Yes fuck the story mode. But seeing its the japanese.....just make things unlockable without having to do story mode. I really hated story mode in T3. My God Kid Buu was too damn strong. Pretty much played cat and mouse the entire time and then out of nowhere R3 appears on screen, one click and hes dead. Lazy shit. I quit playing that game.

C'mon Burst Limit be a real fighter this time. I'm tired of playing DBZ games and quitting them a week later.

there is truth in this post. but yeah im glad they are stopping at cell not because i like the cell saga, hell my fave characters are in the buu saga, but because they can spend more time developing character individuality and depth as opposed to a hell of a lot of clones with small differences. as far as androids go though eighteen and seventeen better be beast. :woot:

[Shinkuu Tatsumaki]

I was never a big fan of these games, even though I love DBZ. The reason is I get bored of these games quickly. It has like a million characters but they all have like the same moves but with different names.

It's only fun when playing casually with friends or something, but I hope Burst Limit can be considered a real fighting game.

The SNES ones had the best... I miss the one where you could counter the other guys blast.

Surprised no one posted this in here yet...but oh well here ya go

New vid. Trunks vs Freeza. I thought for a sec that Trunks was able to transform from a ss to an ss2, but I think its the uss transformation. I hope they give Bardock at least one ssj form.

[Hatred Edge]

I doubt that it's USSJ because he didn't bulk up at all. It is the SSJ2 form. His hair is spiky like Gohan's. It's a lot like Gohan's on SSJ2 form. Awesome pic though(1:18).

Yay for shorter transformations. Damn DBZ BT3.... And charge cancelling is back!!!!!!

Announcer sucks though. What is Japan on? On Tekken 6 has a good announcer thus far...

I too want Bardock in SSJ form. Besides the announcer the music sucks too. Hopefully they top that issue already.

[onyx]

So, the speed did increase in this game. Nice. I hope they give Bardock the ssj transformation for fun. In fact, all sayians should have it. They're Sayians after all.

Fuck SS3 Bardock, imagine SS3 Raditzs:looney::rofl:

Game looks good and fast, i just hope it dose'nt play like robotic ass. Some of the movie characters would be a nice treat Pikuhan and Janemba w/ the sword.

And wow...Trunks looks fuckin CRAZY when he's giving his end taunt.

[Rhio2k]

Somebody let me know when the mp3 of the entire intro song drops, please.

[Finkledoodoo]

Be nice if they added fuckin' ducking and jumping like traditional fighters. That lack makes it hard for me, as a person who only plays fighters, to not see this game as also fanservice, and thus not take it seriously.

Doesn't need a jump or a duck, the rock paper scissors for high mid and low is already there...

Instead of high mid and low being the height of attacks, they are represented in speed.

jabs are high in speed and also high hitting, if you have an aggressive poker, you can counter his high attacks with a low attack.

low attacks are low in speed, but also putting you in a low profile, (input is usually back plus a button,) they go under high attacks the second you input them. Low attacks are great vs button mashers.

mid attacks are of course mid speed but are faster than low attacks, (input is usually foward and attack,) they stuff low attacks and get stuffed by high attacks.

Adding jumping doesn't really help because the advanced use for jumping is usually crossups and instant overheads, but budokai uses a block button. It is noted that you can hit someone from behind which makes an attack unblockable, the with the few moves budokai 3 have that do jump, I've yet to hit with a move as a crossover, so I'm guessing budokai 3 has no crossover properties in the engine.

Ducking doesn't really work since low attacks are slow as dog poop. You'd only hit someone who is in the middle of a high poke, which is what it does already...

I also take note that this version of high mid and low does come at the price of being casual player friendly, but remember that at high level street fighter play, jumping is not only rarely used, but when it is used, it's often punished with a super combo.

[MrArcadePerfect]

it plays like bodukai :)

[Goten X]

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Budokai 4... err, Burst Limit is going to be epic. Way better than any Budokai Tenkaichi game, that's for sure. Online play, updated fighting system, AMAZING graphics. The game looks damn good.

Somebody let me know when the mp3 of the entire intro song drops, please.

I'll have it for you, homes.

EDIT:

if you said tenkaichi 2 then i wouldnt be posting but your talking about tenkaichi 3, a REAL 3D fighting game that actually has depth, something that opens up a new world in fighting games and your talking down about it, you dont know what your talking about son im surprised how selfish people are. thought fighting games was liked cos it symbolised the depths of martial arts and fighting but i guess i was wrong, it's just nostalgia......
How are Tenkaichi 2 and 3 so different? They use the same damn way of playing, the third game just improved things a bit. The series was never known for depth, mostly because it is so simple. Too many characters that don't really play all too different, and a lot of them you really don't want to play with after a few fights.

What I'm trying to understand is how Tenkaichi 3, by your logic, is a "REAL 3D fighting game," but Tenkaichi 2 and the first are not.

[CountingGardens]

Thank God they're finally making a decent DBZ fighting game... Super DBZ was such a disappointment and the Tenkaichi games were fun for a while, but definitely not as awesome as the Budokai series. This better be a little better than Shin Budokai though, ugh, that game was crap compared to Budokai 3.

-_- No....

It seems like they are trying to make Burst Limit less fan service DBZ game and more fighting game material the way that dude was talking on the interview. The Drama Pieces is very interesting i like how it deters move spamming.


I still say they need to bring back Legends and put in on the Nintendo DS.

3 on 3 Format. Wi-Fi connection 6 Players madness. Unlimited stage movement=Best DS game ever.

Bandai doesn't remake games as much as they could, so I doubt it'd ever happen. The closest we'll get to Legends on the DS seems to be SSW2... (Yeah, I know. Not really close at all).

Might as well stick to that Jump! Ultimate Stars for that DS WiFi heat. May not be all DBZ, but it's one of the best, if not THE best, DS game out.

[CountingGardens]

I loved Jump Ultimate, cept when I had to play annoying ass Japanese players who just kick your ass and than taunt all day.

[Hatred Edge]

You know what I want? More expansion on the teleporting. I dislike the whole ALWAYS teleporting behind your opponent at close range. How about teleporting in the air above or far away in front or far away behind?

[Goten X]

Hell yeah. I remember the first time I played, I was beat down because they were spamming and everything.

The taunts, though? I taunt all the time, so it didn't bother me. >_>

When I was watching one of the leaked trailers, my brother said he saw Goku teleport backwards or something. No, it might have been in the GameSpot's GDC video with Donny Clay. But yeah, either way, it needs to be in there. It'll keep dodging from being so predictable.

[Finkledoodoo]

Budokai 3 started to become competitive in my area, than it just dissapeared. My question is, do you think that burst limit will go competitive? It seems like budokai 3 only came second to gamecube's naruto 4 and with this next gen push, do you think that dimps can make a decent enough fighter for the scene? Oh well, what am I saying? Super dbz made that attempt, and it got looked over strong. Sigh, burst limit will at least be the best budokai...

[Goten X]

I was kind of upset Super DBZ got looked over. Yeah, it's not the best, but it was a change of pace from both Budokai and Tenkaichi. I enjoyed it, I dunno.

And yeah, I think Burst Limit has a better chance of going competitive. I hope it does, at least. I'm hoping online will show players that people are really into the game and get them to go out to places to match up face to face. I know, that's asking a lot, but I've been waiting for a competitive DBZ game that isn't Hyper Dimension on ZSNES or SNES9X for a while now.

No more terrain to interrupt
Now I think you can go in the air if you want without being launched or launching.
Ummm dont get hit by ultimate finishes...
It seems to be more of a traditional fighter now with actually having skill lol.
No More capsules.....customzing. You see what you get



and it ain't Tenkaichi Budokai.

[EmblemLord]

B3 took skill.

You could go into the air at anytime in B3 as well.

There are still cancel combos in this game so...yeah...still pretty broken actually and since capsules no longer exist I think characters with good range and good combos will dominate.

*looks at Piccolo.

It's B3 all over again.

Sorry for the double post, but this really pissed me off: I commented on a DBZ video yesterday (the Trunks vs Reccoome fight, to be exact - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2WxC6z_VPw#54wQ2WkiyiE ) saying that Budokai 3 and Burst Limit have more depth and strategy than the Tenkaichi series. Someone responded about a hour ago:

DbzmasterdbzNecross
This is what annoys me about this game. It's just a street fighter clone, which IMO had no depth. It's also too easy to die in this game while in the show and the tenkaichi series it took alot of hits to kill someone.

Now. Let's break this down, bit by bit. Street Fighter clone, he says. Interesting, considering Super Dragon Ball Z was the game closest to to a Street Fighter game (combos and all). He also says the games have no depth. I forgot mashing to buttons to attack and flying around all the time counted as deep gameplay. Seriously, I am tired of these kids that pick up any BT game before playing Budokai 3 and say Budokai 3 sucks because it's "boring" (read: requires skill). And what's this bull about BT games let you take "more hits"? It's called a HANDICAP, and every Budokai game had one. The difference is that the custom system (I don't know how they messed it up so bad going from BT2 to BT3) built in more health, and characters that were stronger had more health (which made things REALLY uneven).

Ok...first off I want to say for the record that I agree with you in terms of budokai 3 having more depth than the tenkaichi games and master whatevermacallit is probably a dumbass. However, I disagree with this notion that I feel that I'm getting from you that sounds like 'Tenkaichi doesn't have any depth at all'. I enjoyed watching the evolution of the tenkaichi series all the way up to the 3rd one and while yes of course there's only technically 'one attack button', to put the game below the gba games is reeeeeally harsh. Especially considering that so called mashing of buttons in Tenkaichi 3 will get your ass countered quickly. You couldn't just mash attack button all day on in the game because of the z counter system and it made you actually try and mix up. Not to mention you could option to sacrifice a portion of your life bar and get them off of you so you can re-evaluate the situation. That's just my opinion though.

[Hatred Edge]

The tenkaichi games do have depth... It's just that each characters has as much depth as the other.:shake:

So in the end it comes down to customs or base stats.

A lot of people shit on Tenkaichi because they changed shit from budokai. Whoever you are, you're just as bad as KOF players who bitch about tagging or SF players who bitch about parries and have no intelligent response besides "negged" and "fuck off".

Apparently no one posted that ALL THE TENKAICHI GAMES SCORED HIGHER THAN THE BUDOKAI AND THE GBA GAMES BY EVERY GAME MAGAZINE/SITE. So.... please be able to tell between PERSONAL opinion and FACTS.

If you hate the Tenkaichi/budokai/GBA/PSP games : I DON'T CARE AND NO ONE ELSE DOES. You like what you like and that is it. So respect that people will prefer what they do. Don't start some dumbass war about which game is better and shit like that.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't mean to say the Tenkaichi series had no depth at all. I played through the series and enjoyed how each game progressively got better (the bigger gap being between the first two games), but the when the third game came out, it felt like they could have done more with it IMO. It updated a few things, and looked better, but it didn't give the sense of upgrade that Budokai 3 gave to Budokai 2.

Oh, and the tier thing was just a joke. I like most of the GBA games (Buu's Fury and Super Sonic Warriors, especially), but I haven't played any of the card games. If I had made the tier myself, I probably would have just put the Budokai games together, then BT3, GBA games and BT1/2. And then the PS1 games (I loved Legends, btw) And then DBGT Final Bout all the way at the bottom... Oh god what a horrible game.

EDIT: I completely forgot about the SNES games. Butoden 2 and Hyper Dimension were great fighting games (SB3 was, too, but I enjoy 2 more). Legend of the Super Saiyan is one of my favorite games, actually...

gameplay wise bt2 is a fucking joke compared to bt3, you dont sound like someone who has played it deep enough to know what your talking about

fighting game wise as you're judging it all is where it improved most

this vid will show depth in range, depth in options and depth in enviroment, there are one or two options that doesnt get abused in this vid but its pretty good overall

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds_A_xo8JN0

[Goten X]

I didn't mean to start a "Which is Better" argument, guys. Sorry. :(

Now on to replying...

No, no, no. I'm not judging the game solely on how much it has improved (BT2-BT3). I haven't even really explained my opinion on the actual fighting (just that I don't consider it as deep as say, Budokai 3, but maybe more so than Super DBZ which I enjoy as well). And of course I didn't sound like someone that had played the game deep enough: I didn't say anything but BT3 didn't improve much over BT2. BT1 was a joke compared to the sequel, and BT3 was the perfection and fine tuning.

I mean, the video you linked shows nothing new to me. I didn't buy the game to play for a day and then sleep on it. I've payed attention to others playing it, strategies and combos. I've even put in enough time in the game to become adept. I could maybe keep up with the players in the video.

You have to understand, just because I don't necessarily LIKE the game as much as you doesn't mean I don't understand how it works... In fact, you have to know deeply know anything to dislike it in the first place, otherwise you don't have anything to base your OPINIONS on.

Thanks for track, too bad it's so short. Either way, appreciate it, and hopefully they'll release a full version seeing as this one is 1:33 long. I also want the instrumental track featured in the Gohan vs Cell match. That track is too wicked. :looney:

[Goten X]

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be released shortly after the games comes out. I love the instrumentals for B2, B3 and BT3.

And as far as the extra bonus go... Maaaaaaaaan, I already have up to the Trunks saga, so I want the movie. But oh well, I guess I can sell it, or something, haha. The shirts looks cool, too. Just hope they're not too big (like the shirt Capcom sent me with Battle Network 4), because I'm not too big. :(

For once, I want a PS3 for the pre-order extra. I already have the first season on DVD, so the first seven eps do me no good.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the whole theme song is in the first video, so you can use a site like Zamzar to tip the music from it, or something.

[Rhio2k]

Thanks for track, too bad it's so short. Either way, appreciate it, and hopefully they'll release a full version seeing as this one is 1:33 long. I also want the instrumental track featured in the Gohan vs Cell match. That track is too wicked. :looney:

Of course there will be a full track, just as sure as the american intro will only be instrumental. They do this with every game. You only get the first verse in the intro. This may be short, but it will tide me over until the single drops. Hironobu has done it again.

All the vids are the mad notes, son.

Can't wait for this shit to come out.

Haven't been this hype for a DBZ game since I seen Super.

Online is gonna be one greazy place to be.

Omg The gameplay is dare I say it. Good? Too good?! Maybe....Oh yeah I'm maining Yamcha. Wol Fang Fist ftuw

[Hatred Edge]

Needs MOAR Vegeta!!!!

[G.O.T]

Goku vs Frieza was the most epic shit i seen in a dbz game for a while now. It was like it really was the cartoon. Damn it's sad I want to really hate this shit because it's a dbz game. But I already know as soon as it comes out I'm pretty much gonna buy it.

I'm glad it doesn't seem as stale or stiff as the other budokai games before it. I couldn't watch a dbz game besides super without falling asleep. Although I've seen some B3 matches that actually looked pretty intense but usually they are mirror Goku matches, and they are chocked full of lame looking dragon fist spam.

@ Hatred Edge: indeed this thread needs more Vegeta. But it needs a lot more of Cell. I have yet to see a Super Perfect Cell match yet.

This game is going to be the shit, Cant wait

[G.O.T]

So is this one more traditional? It seems like they took out those built in capsule combos aka
>PPPKE stuff. And the desperation specials seem more along the lines of the Fist of the North Star being able to throw them out, and dealing a huge amount of damage or just straight out killing the opponent. Or should I say more OG snes Yu Yu Hakusho style desperation or so it seems to me.

[marcusg]

Everybody with a 360 go download the BURST LIMIT DEMO!!

The demo is out?
*runs to the tv room*

[TTZ231]

Only from Saiyan Saga to Cell saga?

Yes, so it means there wont even be the amount of characters from B3, and it gives them a "reason" to come out with more versions (aka BL2, BL3).

They've already milked this thing so much that they ran out of ideas for the name. Burst Limit? Haha WTF!?

But seriously, we get up until Cell Saga with this, then in Burst Limit 2, we get Buu, SS3 Goku, MVegeta, Gotenk, adult Gohan, and movie characters and probably one fighting upgrade, like cancels. Then we reach Burst Limit 3, with some DB and GT characters, and one more fighting engine upgrade. YEY!

Then Burst Limit Tenka'Ichi, which will remove 2/3 of the characters from BL3, and then BLT2 and BLT3.

[Goten X]

Lol at the fail in the post above.

Some amendments to add to the drama piece mini guide posted above.

- "Waiting for you, Piccolo!" is activated not only by Raditz's ki attacks, but if he does a combo that gives a certain amount of damage.

- The "Hidden Move!" drama piece only activates if you've done "Waiting for you, Piccolo!", first.

- To be more specific, "Leave My Daddy Alone!" activates when you and Raditz are on your last health bar.

[Ki Shima]

burst limit demo? (disappears)

[kimo_kata]

To me it seems its running with the Shin Budokai 2 engine. Something I've noticed since the first trailer. Even the special attacks are from Shin Budokai. Also the aura burst. I also noticed i couldnt power up and that our power gauge raised itself. That made it fun.... not.... Not powering up took away from the cool factor. I was hoping that now since we have these super powerful systems, that when we power up in the game it'll have cool effects like the world shaking and breaking apart. That would be so cool. I mean i still want the game and its still clean, its just missing some key factors and they need to change the title to Dragonball z: Shin Budokai 3 - Burst Limit.

Not trying to be negative but you know. I had high expectations. I still can't wit for it just because of the online play. YES!

That's what I want to know. Honestly i'd thought I would see Tila Tequila but I guess'd wrong.

I played the demo, i cant say im too impressed with it. It feels ALOT like those psp games except for more stiff.

I have never played the PSP games, and I love this demo, actually... :/

[NegroNinja]

PSP games made me want to play this series again, I don't even have the demo and I'm giving it +10

[Goten X]

- "Waiting for you, Piccolo!" is activated not only by Raditz's ki attacks, but if he does a combo that gives a certain amount of damage.

Actually, to edit this...

You don't have to do "Waiting for you, Piccolo!" first. I stood around for a while and it popped up, actually.

[AlterGenesis]

These DBZ games have a tendency of being a little too simple. The demo kind of emphasized that point in my mind.

[Goten X]

Simple to get into, of course. It has to be, it's a DBZ game which means a lot of people will play it. If the Budokai series is any indicator, you'll be able to get into the game and explore the deeper gameplay of it.

[Sonichuman]

It's amazing how far the 'over 9000' fad has gone...

[Goten X]

No idea, but I need to find out. That is pretty pimp.

[jubeh]

Hell yeah. I spent all my time on the demo trying to do a super kamehameha out of that, and this guy makes it look easy.

I hate to noob out, but does anyone have a list of verified characters? I just want to know if Android 17 is in the game.

[kimo_kata]

I just hope the lag online isnt that bad. If it isnt then i'll be spending alot of time on this.

Should be, it goes up to cell games. I dont see why not.

[jubeh]

I have my worries. The only game he was good in was Super DBZ. I think he was even top tier, at lease in the early days when I was actually playing it.

[kimo_kata]

Super DBZ the arcade game? Hm. That game was simple. No worries. Just get some practice.

[X20ASTRIKEFREEDOM]

No idea, but I need to find out. That is pretty pimp.

Right when u hit R2 and triangle then at that moment u press up and circle

[xero15]

so i havent been keepin up with this lately but i am plannin on gettin a 360 soon so just to make sure does this have online play?

[X20ASTRIKEFREEDOM]

yes for both 360 and PS3

[jubeh]

Yeah, I actually really liked that game. 17 had some really badass juggles > special > super cancel, but I guess all the characters kind of did.

The guy that made the video said to input a special command, cancel with guard, and then input the super kamehameha. I haven't tried it yet, though.

[fistoftheryustar]

the trailer / intro seemed amazing. i didnt like in the gameplay how the lifebars take up so much room, im trying to imagine how awesome itd be eye-candily if there wasnt such big lifebars

[EmblemLord]

Good shit@ keeping cancel combos.

I love how they gave combos more animations.

After playing the demo it seems like you can charge up alot of different attacks for guard breaks.

You know I have ALOT of respect for Dimps. After each Budokai game they listened to the fans and gave them what they wanted.

The only thing they didn't do was implement low attacks, but they put in alot of stuff to make up for it, like guard breaks, regular attacks do chip damage, transformations guard break, and throws. Some characters can even combo off of there throws.

I truly love them as a company because they value their consumers and listen to what they have to say. The Budokai series has evolved so much in terms of gameplay, graphics, the options at your disposal, everything.

Hats off to Dimps. That's how you make a fighting game series. By listening to the people playing them.

Ah man I tried this shit out today, man. Shit is too good. Also I agree, they really are trying to make it a quality fightre, and not just fan service like the other crappy dbz games. I also learned from the interviews that they tried to make the budokai series competitive anyhow. Although I didn't like B3, i think they really step there game up.


Honestly. I like this game, and I've only played the demo. Indeed @ hats off to Dimps quote.

Who are you maining Mr. Psychic Force man?
