Scouter vegeta has the same problem when it comes to his ultimate being wrong its supposed to be final burst Canon since that's the move he used on final form frieza hell imperfect cell too it should have been see ya instead of drain life force
His facial expressions during attacks do a lot to pick up the slack, but yeah. BT3 had two models for him, iirc, and it still wasn't good enough. Between his clothes and face, he's one of the characters that you can really tell the art style changed for.
Really? I kinda liked having to dodge your way out of Hellzone. This completely ruins the interactivity of the move and turns it into just another cutscene interrupting my game.
@CazaDeYork The problem is that it's too easy to miss half of your projectiles whether your opponent dodges or not, either because of them hitting the ground/objects or because they just randomly missed. It made for a really inconsistent move, and it kind of sucked as a Piccolo fan for his ultimate in particular to be so underwhelming. It was one of the more unique moves in the series, though, to be fair. I just like that I'm going to enjoy using the attack for once.
I'm guessing (hoping, really) the reason Piccolo's so lackluster in the base game is that they're saving the good stuff for DBS Piccolo, when the DLC comes.
- Special beam cannon need a better hit box and should be unblockable - Piccolo need a passive health regeneration to represent the namekian regen ability - Some stretch arms combo or grab - little more damage on aura's attacks
Saiyan Saga Special Beam Cannon just NEEDS a cutscene. You don't have to make it gory, but literally just zoom in on their face, then black and white high contrast shot as a few of the more brutal supers have of the beam going through the body. I also wish Goku could hold the opponent so you can do the Raditz beam. Same with Zamasu and Goku Black actually, I really liked how in Fighterz you could have Zamasu hold the enemy. It's a cool scene. Hopefully Potential Unlocked Piccolo and Orange Piccolo have a little more sauce.
My only issue with Hellzone Grenade is it didn't show the opponent blocking and then looking around with the dramatic DBZ sting of them being surrounded by floating Ki orbs.
There should be 3 Piccolo's instead of two. Late Dragon Ball/early Z Piccolo is much different from Piccolo on Namek, and then when he fused with Kami he was definitely much different
I love these videos because any time you try to criticize this game people act like you’re being ridiculous and nitpicking. It’s a fun game but there’s so much that’s clearly a downgrade compared to previous titles from over a decade ago. It has legitimate problems. Fun or not. And again, it is a lot of fun.
But his videos have *always* been on the nitpicky side, even as far back as the BT3 videos. Which isn't innately a bad thing, mind you, it's why a lot of us enjoy his videos, since we care about those tiny details. But complaining that Goku's Angry Kamehameha is the wrong color (BT3) *is* a nitpick and I would say the same about Light and Hellzone Grenades being slotted as a special/ultimate, respectively. Even if the game has problems (which it does, obviously), these are very miniscule issues in the grand scheme of things.
@@RemixerUltimate he didn't say that the game in its entirety is a downgrade, but that only some parts of it are compared to previous titles, which is true. it does some things better and some things worse.
Im sure youve heard this 100s of times but its so nostalgic seeing you cover this game im 22 years old but i can remember watching youre budakai tenkaichi 3 videos as a kid and just wanting to play that game so badly im glad to see youre still doing videos and seems like youre doing well, thanks for the childhood memories!!!
I wish Piccolo had more from his fight in the last Tournament arc of OG Dragon Ball. His fight against Goku is regarded as one of the best in the series, and he basically has nothing to show for it. I think Early Piccolo could've had at least one reference to that.
I hope that they have that planned for DLC, I mean you quite literally have a moveset there for him, mouth blast that got Goku's arm, Super Explosive Wave, and his final KI blast in og Dragon Ball, hell you can even do a Giant Form, plus this means that we can have an accurate meteor Combination Goku.
Considering the total lack of DragonBall characters in this game II think it is fairly safe to assume that there will be some kind of expansion or major dlc featuring characters from it. If that is the case I think teen piccolo would make an excellent inclusion.
Hopefully when DBS piccolo comes in the DLC we get something amazing, but I do think he suffers from the Goku problem of always needing special beam Cannon
I don't know why Kid Goku is known as Goku (Teen) when Goku WAS a teenager in Dragon Ball during the Tenakichi Budokai alongside Piccolo. It doesn't make sense to me... maybe Piccolo AND Goku will have their own "Dragon Ball" version with their original designs so that Meteor Combination can return in Sparking Zero. OR, bring back the customization from the Raging Blast games by adding a mode where you can choose what supers you want your character to have.
I agree, the Light Grenade should have been his Ultimate, this is lackluster compared to when he used it against Cell. Seriously over a decade and they still got it wrong. These people are lazy as fuck
if there's about 297 different Gokus and 64 different Vegetas there should be at least 3 piccolos. 1. Early - End of DB to end of Saiyan saga in z. He should be able to transform into his giant form. 2. Piccolo fused with Nail. Hell, his intro could be him fusing. Frieza saga to basically his fight with Gero. The one with the most techniques and seeing as Garlic Jr is in the game he should alos have a transformation into a hulking form the same size as Jr. 3. Piccolu fused with Kami
Exactly, and if you wanna go even deeper, Teen Piccolo from Dragon Ball (during his fight with Teen Goku) and his giant transformation (so Piccolo Early doesn't need it), and Potential Unleased Piccolo and Orange Piccolo and his giant transformation, which will be nine Piccolos' in total if you include his transformations.
Piccolo is such an awesome character that unfortunately gets overshadowed by super saiyans, even though he's on par with them at least until the buu saga. His combos especially as early Piccolo looks fast and aggressive just like he fights in the anime. I also feel that light grenade should be his ultimate, because he used it as a last ditch effort against cell and you can tell the move is very powerful and destructive. Piccolo used the light grenade in a manner that vegeta used the final flash.
They could have given him stretch attacks like in the anime.. his arms and legs could stretch. That would have been a cool even if just the smash attacks are like that, giving slightly extra range
At least now it’s a good attack as opposed to BT3 where half the ki blasts got blown up by the stage and it left you open for any attack, it shouldn’t be his ultimate though tbh
I wonder what do you miss from his fight his Freezer. An energy volley, or that Zarbon style throw he did? I really don't remember anything iconic from his fight in Namek...
1. I don't like how his Explosive Demon Wave is a short range energy blast, instead of the long range energy beam from Raging Blast and the prior BT games. 2. I don't like how his Ultimate is Hellzone Grenade instead of Light Grenade.
The only game that i remember him having that was in shin budokai 2 for the psp and that was OP HAS FUCK, if in a fight you put both characters with 7 bars of healt and piccolo was with only 1HP remaining, you pressed L and R at the same time and piccolo regenerates the full 7 bars of healt, making him having a total of 14 bars of life.
Here’s hoping we get Potential Awakened Piccolo and Orange Piccolo in the inevitable DLC, if the former isn’t in the game then the latter surely will be. Perhaps we’ll even get Giant Form Orange Piccolo as a playable character too
Wish they would bother switching up some of these moves. Kinda gets tiring seeing Piccolo despite taking 2 slots always with the same moves. Did Piccolo End really need the Special Beam cannon? He did not even use that technique as often in the show as people might think pre-Super. In GT he used it but he didn't fight in GT. In Z filler he used it about twice, before that he had upgraded it in the fight against Nappa. The other 3 times were in movies 3, 6 and 9 where only 3 really 9 is the representation of Piccolo End.
I'm really hoping we get a good Piccolo when the Super Hero dlc comes out. He doesn't have to top the charts, but I want something a little different than what we have right now
They should've added a 3rd Piccolo that could be from _DBS_ so he could transform into Orange Piccolo or at least have the 2nd Piccolo have Orange Piccolo as a transformation.
End Piccolo was my main in BT3 so its cool to see him look this good animation wise here. But in some ways i still think Raging Blast did it better at times. At least Hellzone Grenade gets an actual cutscene unlike BT3 where half the attack missed like Omega said
Ok, considering that the freeze to Radish's pierced body is what solidified Piccolo's Makankosappo, it's pretty obvious they went budget on the animators. Man, what a waste of potential this game is. And it had everything else budget-wise
It’s weird how they got his ultimate being right with light grenade a decade ago but got it wrong in this game.
They really are trying to make it like BT3. Even being accurate to the flaws.
It has more flaws
@ atleast they don’t have the moves in Japanese again
@@adamquenano8563 some moves are still in japanese but its whatever
Scouter vegeta has the same problem when it comes to his ultimate being wrong its supposed to be final burst Canon since that's the move he used on final form frieza hell imperfect cell too it should have been see ya instead of drain life force
They really missed with not giving early piccolo a different model and clothes proportions based on Saiyan and Frieza saga
His facial expressions during attacks do a lot to pick up the slack, but yeah. BT3 had two models for him, iirc, and it still wasn't good enough. Between his clothes and face, he's one of the characters that you can really tell the art style changed for.
Was thinking the same thing. I remember Piccolo having a rounded collar all the way up to the Frieza Saga, then having a deeper V when he fought Cell
I would kill for a skinnier ‘Majunior’ 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai look
@@ImpactFrametbh, I never ever would’ve noticed that if I hadn’t read your comment
@alejohndrom4092 I blame Dragon Ball Legends. Their devs have really good attention to detail
Light Grenade losing its cutscene is a big nerf. Hellzone getting one is brilliant. Always should've been that way.

Hol on, u might be right bout that 🤔
This game isn't worth $70 dollars.
Yeah we might 2 or 3 new Piccolos, any new ideas are better used in that while keeping tje old characters faithful to bt3
@grannyfanny741 honestly what game is
@@luckyghost7777games with less fan service, online bullshit and micro transactions?

I can't believe he said the correct attack name instead of "Fury Bullet."
we should've gotten a Piccolo (Mid) or something, honestly. There's so much cool stuff Piccolo can do that's just left out.
My only issue with Hellzone Grenade is it didn't show the opponent blocking and then looking around with the dramatic DBZ sting of them being surrounded by floating Ki orbs.
"Oh...... oooooooooh..."
I really wish they did the raging blast style of movesets. Also, his rush in his early form would make an awesome counter super
Kinda disappointing how the move sets of everyone is cut down. In all the games Piccolo had the most variety in attacks.
There should be 3 Piccolo's instead of two. Late Dragon Ball/early Z Piccolo is much different from Piccolo on Namek, and then when he fused with Kami he was definitely much different
That's cause they did everything but go all out on customization.

I think they should make more use of his stretchy arms
Yeee I don't think they incorporated that at all. Could even just be grab, part of combo or heavy attack, anything would be cool
Explosive Demon Wave is a long range Energy Wave which was used on Goku in DB, but they made it look like the point blank blast that he shot at Raditz
Hopefully when DBS piccolo comes in the DLC we get something amazing, but I do think he suffers from the Goku problem of always needing special beam Cannon
1:03 SPECIAL BEAM CANNON 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Goku was 15/16 when he fought in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai and against King Piccolo.
I really missed his strechy arm grab he had in the older games
I agree, the Light Grenade should have been his Ultimate, this is lackluster compared to when he used it against Cell.
Seriously over a decade and they still got it wrong. These people are lazy as fuck
It’s not lazy, they just prefer Hellzone Grenade. It’s more unique
Light grenade is just a big energy ball but hellzone grenade is a move that shows the strategy level that piccolo can show in the battlefield.
Ultimates are supposed to be big finishers and Raging Blast was the only one that got it right with Piccolo's Light Grenade
men i think that light granade must be his ultimate or at least get more love in his animation, in the anime is so dope
I'm so glad we live in a timeline where the king is back to review movesets
Early Piccolo's ultimate might be a contender for worst Ult. Terrible tracking and average dmg
if there's about 297 different Gokus and 64 different Vegetas there should be at least 3 piccolos.
1. Early - End of DB to end of Saiyan saga in z. He should be able to transform into his giant form.
2. Piccolo fused with Nail. Hell, his intro could be him fusing. Frieza saga to basically his fight with Gero. The one with the most techniques and seeing as Garlic Jr is in the game he should alos have a transformation into a hulking form the same size as Jr.

0:42-0:43
I had to replay this part 3x to make sure OG Piccolo told his opponent to *dodge* before blasting them.
3:25 Stay hydrated bro 😂
I can't wait to see how they do Super Hero Piccolo. He's gonna be one mean Big Green
They could have given him stretch attacks like in the anime.. his arms and legs could stretch. That would have been a cool even if just the smash attacks are like that, giving slightly extra range
I honestly wish his Hellzone Grenade was a rush
I wish they didn't change it at all
Why?, in anime / manga is not a rush.
You know, I actually like how they handled that move this game. The ki blasts into the animation. Nice.
A rush would be good too.
At least now it’s a good attack as opposed to BT3 where half the ki blasts got blown up by the stage and it left you open for any attack, it shouldn’t be his ultimate though tbh
This game felt like it was made be people who don’t play games
I wonder what do you miss from his fight his Freezer. An energy volley, or that Zarbon style throw he did? I really don't remember anything iconic from his fight in Namek...
My biggest gripe with early piccolo is that Special beam cannon does NO damage
When played slower it looks like they tried that weird charge up for Light Grenade, but it goes by too fast
Whats the song name for this one?
1. I don't like how his Explosive Demon Wave is a short range energy blast, instead of the long range energy beam from Raging Blast and the prior BT games.
2. I don't like how his Ultimate is Hellzone Grenade instead of Light Grenade.
I always think it's so strange how Piccolo is never allowed to have regeneration. It's just weird to me
The only game that i remember him having that was in shin budokai 2 for the psp and that was OP HAS FUCK, if in a fight you put both characters with 7 bars of healt and piccolo was with only 1HP remaining, you pressed L and R at the same time and piccolo regenerates the full 7 bars of healt, making him having a total of 14 bars of life.

Here’s hoping we get Potential Awakened Piccolo and Orange Piccolo in the inevitable DLC, if the former isn’t in the game then the latter surely will be. Perhaps we’ll even get Giant Form Orange Piccolo as a playable character too

God they really dropped the ball with the movesets
They should've added a 3rd Piccolo that could be from _DBS_ so he could transform into Orange Piccolo or at least have the 2nd Piccolo have Orange Piccolo as a transformation.
I really like hellzone in this game, pretty solid moveset in my opinion, i wonder what they will do for Super Hero Piccolo
I really hope piccolo (super) has a good move set also I’ve always preferred early piccolo to later piccolo
No matter the game: Big Green always has a good moveset.
Would have been cool if they gave early Piccolo a rush from the 23rd tournament saga, just to have something new
hopefully they get more creative once DBS Piccolo and his two transformations get into the game
imo i think you should also showcase the heavy attacks (Triangle )
End Piccolo was my main in BT3 so its cool to see him look this good animation wise here. But in some ways i still think Raging Blast did it better at times. At least Hellzone Grenade gets an actual cutscene unlike BT3 where half the attack missed like Omega said
We should atleast expect Orange Piccolo and Gohan Beast. At least they made it into the anime
Orange Piccolo is gonna be fun to use. Still bummed that they held off on Super Hero content, but ya gotta sell those season passes lol
Is it me or does his head mostly stay in place during the grab? I mean, he could logically pull that off, but it still looks weird.
TLDR: Lesser raging blast.
Ok, considering that the freeze to Radish's pierced body is what solidified Piccolo's Makankosappo, it's pretty obvious they went budget on the animators.
Man, what a waste of potential this game is. And it had everything else budget-wise
This why they should have had 3 piccolos
Omega just dropped phone on DND
What's the name of the song playing in the background btw?
No hellzone grenade ?
Does his throw still have the stretchy arm?
Piccolo really should’ve had a (Super) variant as well.
Super Hero dlc
@ Oh yeah I completely forgot! That would be the perfect opportunity to add another Piccolo
Did your Gohan moveset video just get blocked?
Why did you private the Gohan video?
At the very least Hellzonr Grenade isn't garbo in this game.
How is Light Grenade inaccurate? (outside of not being his ultimate)
@@DragonNM46 you answered your own question.

Im saddened by no strechy arms
I kinda miss his OG Tenkaichi 1 grab. But it's understandable since it doesn't fit in this game

Raging Blast did a much better job with Piccolo. He is my third favorite character behind Vegeta and Frieza and yet I hardly use him. So sad.
that gut punch doesn't feel very impactful (bakuretsu mahoko)
terrible early piccolo, he should be saying destructive wave and i'll beat you to death
Agreed with destructive wave, him saying "i'll beat you to death" and then do two hits makes zero sense
the Ultimate is better as a cutscene
