imma be honest with yall, I really liked the game and still like seeing the gameplay, aside from the really small character raster. The music was fire too
Yea, I lowkey thought it was decent. I know that every move takes a second to commence, so if you input everything early fast you actually move decent speed lol, you can cancel all opponents combos by tapping block twice, and you can cancel moves mid combo.
Disagree. Ssj4 was a perfect thematic conclusion to defeating baby due to it being a call back to saiyan primitism. Ssjgod would not be relate to his beeg with the Saiyan's thematically at all
Shin Orochi It was so annoying when the plug to keep the button down on the PS1 would fall out because American PS1s couldn't play the Japanese editions of this game normally.
I actually made my friends laugh their asses off referencing how slow characters moved, and for whatever reason, Vegeta seemed extra slow turning around lol, so for a time, when a friend called me, i just turned very slowly, and at apoint, they all knew it was a Final Bout Vegeta turnaround lol. Kids laugh of the silliest things lol I was like 11 or 12.
This game was epic for its time! The build-up system used in this game is badass! I just can't believe in all this time no other Dragon Ball game ever tried to create such an Innovative build up system.
Diegolazo19 no it isn't if I had to make one point for how it's simple gt made it where goku had all the action every character was forgotten gt stands for goku time that is it.
or maybe everyone hates it because Gt anime series fucking sucks in every imaginable way. From villains to story to goku is a fucking kid, to annoying as fuck Pan character, to the annoying as fuck robot character gero gero -- to vegeta having a retarded haircut and mouschetache to villains named baby, etc etc -- could go on all day about how terrible it is. Common sense says GT is awful -- maybe you have none.
@@bermonz I actually tried the game after this video and tried to be good at it and now.... My opinion is completely opposite. This game is really good. And considering the time it was released in it really awsome. The only problem I would have right now which is kinda nitpicking but it's the dub. I wish this game had the funimation cast from Z rather than the ocean dub. The dub isn't bad but I actually find the voices funny. But the atworks,cover arts and the intro are just so good
@@jiten9843 No, actually it was pretty awesome. it was actually decent for what DB video games could do back in the day. This was around the time of the first games with 3d graphics, instead of 2d. This was the first DB game that you could actually make the characters fly up and down on command, instead of it being launched into a screen where it's in the air. Not many DB games had that feature back in the day.
No. It was pretty decent. Abt as fast paced and clunky as any 3D fighter but with a much more free roaming feel with the flight and foreground and background movements.
Why so much hate on GT and this game? I don't get it. I love Super but come on. This was for PSX and it's actually good looking. It's not the best but at least it's enjoyable.
Let's start for the fact that Goku becomes a kid again. You know you're watching some quality work when the series jumps the shark already in the first minutes.
This was just a bad game. I cannot see how anyone thought it was good unless you just completely skipped out on classic fighters like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct. Those came out on the Super Nintendo/Sega era and were miles better than this. Not to mention, stuff like Bushido Blade and the Tekken series came out around the PS gen.
While Final Bout is not as responsive as Tekken,Virtua Fighter,Soul Calibur or as fast. Combat wise it's still far superior to most of the other Dragonball games that predated it and even Budokai which relies less on skills and more of who can do a faster dash attack.
Really impossible to find when I was younger my friend found it in the Japanese version n we had to buy the spring thing n a disc it came with just to play it.
yeah we know. just reading through the comments I found the emoji interesting. i never had the pleasure or horror of trying to play this game un/fortunately
oh come on guys .. WTH its PS1 Okay ?? this game was amazing also dbz legend was so great i'm not of gt fan but i like this game it was the first dbz game in PS1 ..
well some people who watched gt kind of found it wack which I can see why and it didn't really live up to dbz in its time. if you start a series with turning goku into a kid, you know you already fucked up
I feel like this video was made without any real knowledge about the game. You could fly without getting hit into the air. The leveling system wasn’t so bad either. The power beam battles were pretty good. There’s so much about this game that you guys missed. I think you both should replay it.
I was literally thinking the same thing. Sounds like they just didn't know how to play the game. Granted, in hindsight the game is not very good and the controls are some shit. You could definitely just fly whenever you wanted.
Derek Solomon thank you for saying what I was thinkn. Flying was easy just up and L1, turn the demos off in options so when you did your special moves it didn’t do that long demo, they just immediately did it, also you could fly on the ground using L1 and down back or forward. The meteor combo was dope, also if you did your special move when your opponent was about to die it would turn into an immediate finishing move, while doing it they would sell out talking trash then kill you. Personally the best part about the game was building up your character. I trained SS4 Goku to level 99. At that point my combos were one hit or two hit killers, the beams and blasts explosion waves were huge. For this to be a playstation one game it was epic.... just playing it for 20 minuets not really knowing how to play is equivalent to playing Marvel vs capcom 2 or 3 and just pushing buttons. It comes off wack..
To fly you didn't have to get knocked off, I think you had to hold down one of the shoulder buttons (L1 or R1.. I think it was the dash button as well) and press upward. That's weird because back then my friends and I actually really enjoyed this game.
you guys only hated it because you didn't figure out how to level up really fast. it was a process but starting as level one, you keep fighting the final guy of the level until you beat him and then go from the first guy to I think it was number 10. I made my SSJ4 Goku a level 99 and it wasn't fair to the others that went against me in 2 player. one punch and I won every time
also you didn't have to get knocked into the air to fly , and it was about timing. if a beam attack was shot at you, you waited till the last second and fired back for a beam battle
Ultimate Battle 22 is rough too. I was so confused when I saw it in a target for like $20 like 2 years AFTER I got a PS2. UB 22 was pretty cool in an arcade tho
You're right. The main problem with flying was that it was actually too free in this game, and made getting to a good playing field a pain in the ass. It was just another way that made combat much slower than the butoden games which made flying just another plane to fight on quickly.
I had this, and UB22. I wanted UB22 because it had a ton of characters, but I found it played like shit. Even though Final Bout was slow, you could get used to the timing, though I could never pull off counters. Funny, I thought Mystic Gohan was Yamcha the first time I played Hyper Dimension for SNES.
speaking of dragon ball games, looks like Xenoverse 2 is coming to the Nintendo switch. I was thinking about getting it on PC, but I think i'll wait (I don't like playing games with a keyboard).
i'm gonna be completely honest with you: I have no idea what a Bluetooth is. I like consoles, you just plug them in, they come with a controller, you play the game. with PC gaming i'd have to learn a bunch of this techno mumbo jumbo and replace parts and download stuff and actually learn how to take care of my computer. and I mostly stick with Nintendo cause I grew up with it thus I only own Nintendo consoles. I mean, I guess I could play it on my brother in law's Xbox one, but of course he and my sister have there own place, and I don't want to learn how to drive.
I like Final bout...yes the game is not perfect but coming from the era of 16-bit SNES FROM 2D TO 3D was a big deal. Most of the kids from the 90s in the USA didn’t get to play DRAGON BALL on Super Nintendo because they were never release here.
"it's much better and legit than most of fighting games" god, this is wrong in so many ways... and yes, I know is on ps1... but still is a bad game. Is the beggining of 3D fighting games, and the developers in dat time don't know much how to work... compare Tekken 1 to Tekken 3, and you see how a 3D fighting game needs to work.
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. A couple notes from an avid player:1. You actually could fly manually without getting kicked into the air. I believe if you held all the L and R buttons you could do it. I did think it was funny that you say you have to be kicked in the air to fly, then around 11:40 in the video you show Goku fly up to Cell. 2. I think one of most interesting features of the game that I didn't see much at the time was the build up mode. You could pick a fighter to train up, but it wasn't as simple as you level up and then naturally get better at everything; you would mostly power up the moves you specifically used. You could horrendously break the game if you played kid Goku and just spammed neutral jab forever because you'd go under most of the adult characters, but it was also fun to get the combos trained up as well. While a lot of people I know complained about the game, they almost all liked this feature because we could play our favorite characters but customize the move sets to fit our vision of the character (so my Future Trunks would fight differently than my friend's GT trunks). We almost ever played the arcade mode once we got into this whole other world.
Being the die-hard DB fan that I was (who am I kidding, I still am. Go Super), this game was amazing to me. For the time, being able to play as the DB warriors was mind blowing to me, despite the choppy gameplay. I loved it.
Still waiting on Dragon Ball the video game where it takes place during the very first series with rpg elements. It could have a time changing storyline where you infect the timeline by interacting with the characters by either being friends or further into the relationship giving you different endings as you beat each arc. But, this is just a pipe dream, sadly. :(
I played it in 2000. It was neat seeing these older stuff. It was still during the freeza saga. So all of this stuff was kinda new. I was watching the cell saga in a different country I went to. So the buu saga was kinda happening. And like geekdom says, GT looked cool and as a look forward, it was neat. But it was also kinda bland but not horrifically bad.
In Mexico, Dragon ball GT was out around 1999. I made sure I got well informed and I was super popular with the lore I had acquired. I only played this game to try unlock ss4 and I could never do it. It dragon ball legend is absolutely the best classic dbz game
You guys just took me back, god. I remember seeing toys in shops of Dragon Ball Z characters and not know who any of them were. I remember getting a Gotanks toy around the time the cell games or mid android saga was airing on TV, and not having any clue who this character was. For a bit, I thought that the purple and black hair was going to be the next step in SSJ. Before we all got word of ssj3 and all. Man, fun times. It's the one thing I hate about the internet, nothing is a super big surprise anymore. I mean, how crazy would it have been if we had no clue about Battle Of Gods till one day boom, trailer in theater or on TV. Ya bringing me back Geek, ya bringing me back.
I remember playing this game and ultimate battle 22 before the rerelease. I was too young to actually understand how to play, but I also had the same wild thoughts at seeing the gold oozaro and the different characters. And looking back, I totally agree on the point about Chris Ayres. It's really weird. If I ever see Chris Ayres at a convention, I want to ask him what he thinks of it lol.
Man, I can totally connect to what you guys are saying there. I saw this game a little later, but where I grew up, you had these Dragon Ball pencil cases with art from the Boo arc and the movies on them and I thought Ultimate Gohan was Yamcha, Bojack was some transformation of Piccolo and I had no idea who Trunks etc were. It was a crazy time to be a Dragon Ball fan. That and Pokemon were pretty much what every kid in school talked about.
My Story with this game: When I was a kid around 2001-2002 there was a mall in Puerto Rico I'd go to with my grandma and while she was looking in stores I used to go to this stand in the middle of the mall that actually sold this game and others. We could play the game right there for $1 for 10 minutes. I didn't understand the game but I simply loved it for some reason. A holiday came and my sister bought the game for me. It was new, for $55.00 plus $35 for the conversion disk we needed to insert before playing the game. Now for the gameplay, I learned how to Fly (R1 + Directional Buttons) and how to do a Kamehameha (Left, Down, right, triangle) and to charge (X+Square) really easily. but in order to win and beat the story mode I used Perfect Cell, stood in a corner and did the Perfect Barrier (down, left, right, triangle) over and over and kept defeat characters. The Hidden Characters (Vegeto, Z Goku, etc) were unlocked after you beat them in the story mode. defeating Baby was hard but I just kept doing Perfect Barriers until I killed him. I also remember the area called Build up. I used Z-Goku for that because I found out if I did a kick attack he had (left down right, triangle) he would deplete the enemy health fast. At the end of Build up you fight SSJ4 Goku but even if you beat him he's not unlocked. Thats as far as I got, but I remember having a great time with this game even if it was all in Japanese and I didn't understand.
this episode brought back so many memories bro...toshinden!!!I watched DBZ on the international channel in japanese with no subtitles completely oblivious to what the fucking they were saying. times have changed... keep these videos coming man. great stuff
As someone who played a lot of this game this game brought a several mechanics to the DBZ games. Beam struggles, the ability to swat away or absorb an energy attacks and meteo combo and counter attacks.
The best thing about this game was it is only game that allowed you to train specific attacks. Like your basic ki attack could one hit kill if you trained it
Ahh memories, i remember having this game when i was young and thinking it was the best game ever just because it was Dragon Ball.......boy was i wrong. Love that Final Bout Intro Though!!!!!!
people never realized that the combat system was similar to Killer instinct than other fighting games. You had to input commands for the combos instead of button mashing. Had to learn from my cousin back in the day. and you had to hold L1/R1 and up to fly independently.
Toshinden was actually supposed to get release on Steam by a company called Console Classics but they just kinda vanished after releasing two lesser known games that no one remembered.
the intro fight in final bout between freiza cell and buu will be in the next upcoming dragonball super episode .. the city scene will be changed to the mystic forest master roshi sends goku and gohan to fight freiza cell and buu
You could also level your character to the point where he or she almost 1 shots everything. Also you could power up and fly strategically. Also Vegetto, Piccolo and Vegeta had some of the funniest quips.
spamming the triangle button when you were in a ki blast struggle *shudders* and that may have actually been one of the better button setups... I remember playing the import back in the day (ty goldfinger) because the localized version was non existant. Super Butoden on SNES was the jam though.
I used to buy the Beckett Dragonball Z magazines weekly at my local grocery store when we took our trip to it with my mom. In those magazines, I learned about this game. The first 3D dragonball game and GT. I was amazed and wanted so badly to have it, but it cost $100+ online and wasn't sold anywhere. By the time I finally played it (after re-release) i couldn't believe anyone ever wanted it. By this point, I had already been too spoiled by the Budokai games.
This game was awesome back in the day and it had content / characters that wouldn't be released for 10 years 1997-2007 and you can fly without getting hit in the air l1 and up ir r1 and down
I still remebmer those false character unlocking requirements, i've only tried to unlocked Gotenks, you had to finish game 7 times in a row with one of Gokus, and then there was Uub: Finish game 12 times with Trunks, 7 times with Vegeta, 20 times with Piccolo. Kuririn: Finish game 3 times with Uub :)
I don't know what this GT is but it's sounding disappointing
Super Vegito its better than this trash called super
*DBS fanboy vs. GT fanboy*
stop fighting, after all this is the whole Dragon Ball franchise

GT has its moments, i even feel that if the character Baby was in super it would enrich the series
Disagree. Ssj4 was a perfect thematic conclusion to defeating baby due to it being a call back to saiyan primitism. Ssjgod would not be relate to his beeg with the Saiyan's thematically at all

There is a set of Tuffle Twins that show up in the Dragon Ball Heroes Anime.
A Boy and a Girl.
GT > Super
@@chesspunk489 hard disagree lol, GT Is shit besides SSJ4 and Baby.

The soundtrack is GODLY yo!
and the intro
Jordan Johnson Yes, that intro was the shit.
Yamcha it was good game
spoken from yamcha himself
You could fly in Final Bout. I remember flying up in the air as soon as the match starts lol
Yeah
JOKES this was the first dragon ball game i ever played and i enjoyed it loll
I literally had the Japanese version that I had to put the conversion disc in first then the actual game.
cordella225 Good times, lol! The intro music is different between the Japanese and English localizations.
cordella225 Same here but too bad the disc was getting lost along with my PS1 lol
Shin Orochi I got rid of my game a few months back
Shin Orochi It was so annoying when the plug to keep the button down on the PS1 would fall out because American PS1s couldn't play the Japanese editions of this game normally.
I should note that is a cheap way to play without a conversion disc, albeit an imperfect means.
Man I remember this game back on the ps1. It was a hard game to find, but we dragon ball ball fan thought it was the best game ever!
Man I loved this game. Unlocking ss4 goku and vegito. Shit was lit🔥🔥

Almost every Dragon Ball Game has like million Goku's
Matthew Channer THANK YOU
Ye, makes total sense comparing a mobile ''card'' game to a ps1 game that is fighting focus ._.
you mean xv2 no offense
Final Bout was miles better than Ultimate Battle 22.
It’s tough to call it, Ultimate Battle 22 I felt was better than Final Bout. The controls weren’t slow and I thought some moves were decent
Thanks for having me again! This game brought back some terrible, but awesome memories. :P

I really have to say, the Final Bout Intro still gives me the chills :D
you press L1 then up to fly mr. Geekdom
So complicated.... lol
Seriously I remember my cousin talking about GT 11-12 years ago, and we were always so intrigued by it. He even brought up AF back then as well lol
I'm 25 now and i remember playing this game at 7-8 I guess and already knowing everyone. In Spain Dragon Ball blew up much earlier than in the US.
I actually REALLY enjoyed this game when i was little. Played it ALL THE TIME.
I've got GT Final Bout, mint condition, love it! ;)
EpyonRoyal tallgeese was better!
I got it too all scratched up still works perfectly
Stop ripping on the game! The game had its flaws (many), but damn man, for those who grew up with this as their first DB game, was still fun!
I loved this game.
Really impossible to find when I was younger my friend found it in the Japanese version n we had to buy the spring thing n a disc it came with just to play it.

I like consoles, you just plug them in, they come with a controller, you play the game. with PC gaming i'd have to learn a bunch of this techno mumbo jumbo and replace parts and download stuff and actually learn how to take care of my computer. and I mostly stick with Nintendo cause I grew up with it thus I only own Nintendo consoles. I mean, I guess I could play it on my brother in law's Xbox one, but of course he and my sister have there own place, and I don't want to learn how to drive.
I like Final bout...yes the game is not perfect but coming from the era of 16-bit SNES FROM 2D TO 3D was a big deal. Most of the kids from the 90s in the USA didn’t get to play DRAGON BALL on Super Nintendo because they were never release here.
Wtf? Final bout is a classic!
yes, is a classic... but this doesn't mean is good. Nostalgia blind a lot of people...
"it's much better and legit than most of fighting games" god, this is wrong in so many ways...
and yes, I know is on ps1... but still is a bad game. Is the beggining of 3D fighting games, and the developers in dat time don't know much how to work... compare Tekken 1 to Tekken 3, and you see how a 3D fighting game needs to work.
It is hardly fair if you compare it to one of the best fighting games in existance.
“it’s much better and legit than most fighting games Released nowsday”
hahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahha
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. A couple notes from an avid player:1. You actually could fly manually without getting kicked into the air. I believe if you held all the L and R buttons you could do it. I did think it was funny that you say you have to be kicked in the air to fly, then around 11:40 in the video you show Goku fly up to Cell. 2. I think one of most interesting features of the game that I didn't see much at the time was the build up mode. You could pick a fighter to train up, but it wasn't as simple as you level up and then naturally get better at everything; you would mostly power up the moves you specifically used. You could horrendously break the game if you played kid Goku and just spammed neutral jab forever because you'd go under most of the adult characters, but it was also fun to get the combos trained up as well. While a lot of people I know complained about the game, they almost all liked this feature because we could play our favorite characters but customize the move sets to fit our vision of the character (so my Future Trunks would fight differently than my friend's GT trunks). We almost ever played the arcade mode once we got into this whole other world.
THIS GAME! THIS FUCKING GAME!
worst thing about this game is that you could literally spam and jab people to death. So broken.
I actually liked GT I hate how it's bashed
WadeyGamerHD same
Being the die-hard DB fan that I was (who am I kidding, I still am. Go Super), this game was amazing to me. For the time, being able to play as the DB warriors was mind blowing to me, despite the choppy gameplay. I loved it.
i will say this though , this game's intro was amazing. the game however.....
Are you gonna do Legends and Ultimate Battle 22? I still have those games. They're awesome.
dragon ball z legends was good
one of the best dbz games
The Animated Gamer Truth
i would still play that game over some of the games today
What is the PS1 trinity? I'm assuming it includes Legends and Final Bout.
ah yes I can already see gt fans saying dragon ball super worse than Dragon Ball *G* oku *T* ime which I doubt it.
Elijaah Spraglin but it is though
pan and trunks has more screen time than all of super's secondary characters lol
I don´t say Super is worse. I actually think Super is better but that doesn´t mean GT is as bad as people pretend.
Gt don’t mean goku time
The intro to Final bout has one of the greatest animation in the entire dragon Ball universe !
Still waiting on Dragon Ball the video game where it takes place during the very first series with rpg elements. It could have a time changing storyline where you infect the timeline by interacting with the characters by either being friends or further into the relationship giving you different endings as you beat each arc.
But, this is just a pipe dream, sadly. :(
I played it in 2000. It was neat seeing these older stuff. It was still during the freeza saga. So all of this stuff was kinda new. I was watching the cell saga in a different country I went to. So the buu saga was kinda happening. And like geekdom says, GT looked cool and as a look forward, it was neat. But it was also kinda bland but not horrifically bad.
In Mexico, Dragon ball GT was out around 1999. I made sure I got well informed and I was super popular with the lore I had acquired. I only played this game to try unlock ss4 and I could never do it. It dragon ball legend is absolutely the best classic dbz game
Dbgt : i a good game
Db budokai 1 : *Take my beutiful firework*
What button do u press to unlock ssg4?
I remember ready a book in 1998 saying that the reason Final Bout was created was to promote Dragonball GT.
didnt this game come out in america in 2003 , 1997 JP ?
You guys just took me back, god. I remember seeing toys in shops of Dragon Ball Z characters and not know who any of them were. I remember getting a Gotanks toy around the time the cell games or mid android saga was airing on TV, and not having any clue who this character was. For a bit, I thought that the purple and black hair was going to be the next step in SSJ. Before we all got word of ssj3 and all. Man, fun times. It's the one thing I hate about the internet, nothing is a super big surprise anymore. I mean, how crazy would it have been if we had no clue about Battle Of Gods till one day boom, trailer in theater or on TV. Ya bringing me back Geek, ya bringing me back.
I remember playing this game and ultimate battle 22 before the rerelease. I was too young to actually understand how to play, but I also had the same wild thoughts at seeing the gold oozaro and the different characters. And looking back, I totally agree on the point about Chris Ayres. It's really weird. If I ever see Chris Ayres at a convention, I want to ask him what he thinks of it lol.
I remember getting a mod chip installed in my PlayStation just so I could play this game.
Battle Arena Toshinden I & II... :D Great times! I had my Pentium 166! :D Awesome channel, man! Keep up the great work!
Man, I can totally connect to what you guys are saying there. I saw this game a little later, but where I grew up, you had these Dragon Ball pencil cases with art from the Boo arc and the movies on them and I thought Ultimate Gohan was Yamcha, Bojack was some transformation of Piccolo and I had no idea who Trunks etc were. It was a crazy time to be a Dragon Ball fan. That and Pokemon were pretty much what every kid in school talked about.
My Story with this game:
When I was a kid around 2001-2002 there was a mall in Puerto Rico I'd go to with my grandma and while she was looking in stores I used to go to this stand in the middle of the mall that actually sold this game and others. We could play the game right there for $1 for 10 minutes. I didn't understand the game but I simply loved it for some reason.
A holiday came and my sister bought the game for me. It was new, for $55.00 plus $35 for the conversion disk we needed to insert before playing the game.
Now for the gameplay, I learned how to Fly (R1 + Directional Buttons) and how to do a Kamehameha (Left, Down, right, triangle) and to charge (X+Square) really easily.
but in order to win and beat the story mode I used Perfect Cell, stood in a corner and did the Perfect Barrier (down, left, right, triangle) over and over and kept defeat characters.
The Hidden Characters (Vegeto, Z Goku, etc) were unlocked after you beat them in the story mode.
defeating Baby was hard but I just kept doing Perfect Barriers until I killed him.
I also remember the area called Build up. I used Z-Goku for that because I found out if I did a kick attack he had (left down right, triangle) he would deplete the enemy health fast. At the end of Build up you fight SSJ4 Goku but even if you beat him he's not unlocked. Thats as far as I got, but I remember having a great time with this game even if it was all in Japanese and I didn't understand.
Both of your experiences with this game remind me of my experience with DBZ Sagas.
I tried so hard to enjoy that game. I really did.
this episode brought back so many memories bro...toshinden!!!I watched DBZ on the international channel in japanese with no subtitles completely oblivious to what the fucking they were saying. times have changed... keep these videos coming man. great stuff
First console game I played was battle arena toshinden, bring backs so much memories.
As someone who played a lot of this game this game brought a several mechanics to the DBZ games. Beam struggles, the ability to swat away or absorb an energy attacks and meteo combo and counter attacks.
The best thing about this game was it is only game that allowed you to train specific attacks. Like your basic ki attack could one hit kill if you trained it
Ahh memories, i remember having this game when i was young and thinking it was the best game ever just because it was Dragon Ball.......boy was i wrong. Love that Final Bout Intro Though!!!!!!
people never realized that the combat system was similar to Killer instinct than other fighting games. You had to input commands for the combos instead of button mashing. Had to learn from my cousin back in the day. and you had to hold L1/R1 and up to fly independently.
Toshinden was actually supposed to get release on Steam by a company called Console Classics but they just kinda vanished after releasing two lesser known games that no one remembered.
the intro fight in final bout between freiza cell and buu will be in the next upcoming dragonball super episode .. the city scene will be changed to the mystic forest master roshi sends goku and gohan to fight freiza cell and buu
You could also level your character to the point where he or she almost 1 shots everything. Also you could power up and fly strategically. Also Vegetto, Piccolo and Vegeta had some of the funniest quips.
spamming the triangle button when you were in a ki blast struggle *shudders* and that may have actually been one of the better button setups... I remember playing the import back in the day (ty goldfinger) because the localized version was non existant. Super Butoden on SNES was the jam though.
why did you stretch the image? my eyes are bleeding lol
I used to buy the Beckett Dragonball Z magazines weekly at my local grocery store when we took our trip to it with my mom. In those magazines, I learned about this game. The first 3D dragonball game and GT. I was amazed and wanted so badly to have it, but it cost $100+ online and wasn't sold anywhere. By the time I finally played it (after re-release) i couldn't believe anyone ever wanted it. By this point, I had already been too spoiled by the Budokai games.
I can't seem to find your gamming channel what was the name again I'm new to your Channel
The best things about Final Bout was the opening sequence, the music, and the book artwork.
This game was awesome back in the day and it had content / characters that wouldn't be released for 10 years 1997-2007 and you can fly without getting hit in the air l1 and up ir r1 and down
I still remebmer those false character unlocking requirements, i've only tried to unlocked Gotenks, you had to finish game 7 times in a row with one of Gokus, and then there was Uub: Finish game 12 times with Trunks, 7 times with Vegeta, 20 times with Piccolo. Kuririn: Finish game 3 times with Uub :)
renember ultimate battle 22?
Dbz Budokai 1 is my favorite dbz game still to this day. It would be cool if you made a video about your thoughts of the Budokai series
