B3 has in game transformations and fusions.

I still really like the animations of the ultimate moves in B3 a lot.

Plagarized but awesome.B3's soundtrack.

Original hand drawn intro with Kageyama song > Generic fighterz intro.

B3 has great looking hand drawn menu's that evoke more of a DB feel with unique looking menu's with voiceovers and all.

Yes I know the Fighterz characters are more fleshed out but the B3 characters suffice for a quick game or 2.

Both games have a great roster but B3 still has some 'exclusive' characters such as Satan, Great Saiyman, Uub, Gogeta SSJ4, Goku SSJ4, Vegeta SSJ4, Majin Vegeta, Omega Shenron, Kid Gohan, Dabura, Goten, Trunks and Raditz.

Some things I like about B3 that aren't featured in FighterZ They're really different games and I like them both. It also had no story mode and its roster was small even by regular fighting game standards.įighterZ may have an original story but the Story Mode is a boring slog so there's not much reason to invest in it unless you're a huge fan of Dragon Ball.

It tried to push itself as a hardcore fighting game so it did away with a lot of DBZ staples and still ended shallow compared to the games it was trying to be like. I can't even say that Budokai 3 is a better 'Dragon Ball Z Simulator' because of all the extra stuff we've gotten for FighterZ since release, and the fact it has an original story rather than retelling the Z story also earns it many brownie points.Ī lot of people don't like Super Dragon Ball Z.

I'll derail this thread instantly by saying that most people who said Budokai 3 was the epitome of DB fighting games probably never played Super Dragon Ball Z SDBZ smoked Budokai 3 every which way as a fighter, lacking only the extras like what-ifs and fusions.įighterZ is already vastly superior to SDBZ at that, which was already a better fighting game than Budokai 3, so I can't see any other way to put Budokai 3 > FighterZ except in matters of personal preference. Does that make B3 redundant, or is there anything people would argue that it actually does better compared to FighterZ? Tue 7:11 pm Budokai 3 used to be seen as the epitome of Dragon Ball fighting games, but pretty much everyone agrees that FighterZ has the far superior combat system.
