Super Dragonball Z Tournament Footage

Super Dragonball Z Tournament Footage
Redrapper by on December 27th, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Back near the end of the lifecycle of the PS2, Bandai teamed up with a new studio called “Craft & Meister”(Founded by the producer of Street Fighter II) to create a Dragonball Z game that didn’t suck. The result was a game called “Super Dragonball Z”, which enjoyed a bit of popularity in Japanese arcades, but failed to make nearly the same dent in the United States. The game featured a pretty unique card system– in which as you battled, you customized the character you played. So your Trunks could have an entirely different set of Super Arts or a stronger weapon for your normals.

However, Super DBZ was underrated for a lot of reasons, almost criminally. A lot of people cried out against the roster size in comparison to other Dragonball Z games, and people who had never played it scoffed at the idea that the game could have any real depth. Well, hindsight is 20/20. This video, posted by ReXXXSoprano is a series of high level matches of Super DBZ– and if anything, it’s terribly sad to see that this game never took off in the states. It’s exciting to watch, and if anything– makes you think how the game would have fared if released in the new renaissance of fighters. ReXXX has also posted a large article detailing the merits of the game, which you can check out over at his Facebook page. 

Till then, enjoy a solid hour and thirteen minutes of this slick Super DBZ Tournament footage. Maybe someday, we’ll get another crack at it.

        Jaxel is 100% correct. All the Tenkaichis were pretty shit. Budokai 3 was the best. WTB HD version with online capability.

          Shin Budokai: Another Road was the best.

    This game was solid, but sadly got NO following in the states to speak of.

    I remember owning this game for a few weeks, then i was sad that no one wanted to play it at all.

      They need to put this on PSN and XBL to get it the exposure that the PS2 couldn’t get it with it’s limited online capabilities. I think the game would’ve had a longer life if the people who did care about it could’ve joined up online to play it.

    OMG DUDE THIS GAME LOOKS AMAZING. I WANT TO PLAY IT NOOOOW. FCK A TENKAICHI!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/josepht.medina Joey T Medina

    The reason why it never took off competitively is BECAUSE it’s a DBZ game.

    I honestly don’t see myself ever wanting to grind out practice sessions to be great at this game, even if it was amazing. Looks really solid too.Sad but true.

    Krillin being viable in a DBZ game?? What is this…. I dont even…

      For real I was like Krillin………..winning?!?! O_o

      I think from the video I’ve seen he just hit confirms into supers well and has an excellent zoning ability with that big bright spirit bomb looking thing and then the traps he can lay on the ground.

      He was also considered top tier in shin Budokai: Another Road, where
      canon wise he is ironically the weakest character, well besides
      Bardock, weird to think Krillin is stronger then Bardock, well at least
      at the point Bardock died, since he got much stronger in the afterlife.

      But if you want me to really blow your mind, then read this, Yamcha was considered top tier in Infinite World, yes Yamcha.

    Well the majority of DBZ fans just want to see large explosions and flashing lights, they don’t really care about anything like depth and are just looking for something that recreates the show in a decent fashion.

    So it’s no real suprise that Super DBZ didn’t take off with such a small audience. Hardcore fighting fans probably disregarded it because they saw it as another fan service fighter with no depth, when if you look at the previous titles you can’t really blame them for thinking that.

      From what I remember, most mainstream DBZ fans shunned the game because the roster was small, they couldn’t handle doing SF-style commands, and like you said, there weren’t enough seizure-inducing explosions.  Most hardcore fighting game fans like it, but the game is just so under-the-radar that it doesn’t get a lot of exposure, and as such most people don’t even know it exists.

      The big problem with this game was there is/was no way to get better. There was no online mode to challenge yourself like today’s games and arcades were already starting to die. I remember searching online and I couldnt find any forums for it besides Gfaqs and combo vids on YT that didnt explain what they were doing. You basically had to become better by grinding it out in the lab and even then, who were you gonna challenge yourself against? Even if you wanted to get better, unless you had a friend or group of friends who wanted to get better, there was no real reason to.

      Perhaps they could have done something like bring it to fighting game tournaments, or spread some kind of awareness in the community. If you want your fighter to be played seriously, you have to learn to interact with the competitive players early on.

      Case in point, I think that’s a huge part of the reason Mortal Kombat caught on despite it being (in my opinion) very subpar to the basically all other mainstream fighting games. It’s also a series known, especially since its 3D games, to be all style and no substance. 

      This time, early on, the producers went to the community and said, “Hey guys, we’re gonna try to make a good, balanced Mortal Kombat for real.” And even if they succeeded only 75% of the way in terms of making a memorable game, they still won over many new players because of their willingness to get close with their audience.

    I owned this game for the PS2. At first I thought it was really strange… The Roster was small and the combat was very different from what I expected but I couldn’t help but continue playing it! There was a lot do collecting the cards for your character and the battle system was pretty cool! No mashing or flying or anything all the time, solid man to man combat with evading and punishing without the neeed to spam beam supers… Don’t remember what happened to it.

    I had this game, it was definitely really good. But I had one major beef with it, the awkward flight system. Like it juts felt weird, I had to press jump to hover and press jump again to land or something, it was awkward to control and I couldnt get used to it. I would’ve preffered a more standard jump-in’s like most typical 2D fighters.

    I still think DBZ Hyper Dimension on the SNES is the best DBZ fighting game, period.

    Lol, I was just playing Super DBZ this morning!  I still consider this to be the best DBZ fighter to date.  It’s too bad that it didn’t pick up over here in the states; it had a nice arcade tourney run in Japan.

      The funny thing is Super DBZ’s inputs are pretty lenient.  Heck, since pressing up doesn’t make you jump, 720′s have never been easier!

    I always wanted Capcom to have the license for this game to make something like DBZ vs Capcom imagine the amount of money they would make….Or, since Namco has the license then what about DBZ vs Naurto with a similar fighting system to Marvel VS games.

      Every character had a base set of moves, which extra ones you picked up was completely up to player preference.  I thought it was pretty cool that you could have options on how you played your character (i.e. Trunks’ 3 different sword choices).   And really, you could unlock stuff through versus mode in 2P, since experience was really easy to gain even if you were losing.

        You’re missing the point though. What Jaxel is saying (or atleast what I think he’s saying) is that by making it that way, new players were/are already at a disadvantage. Not sure what FGs you play but even moves with little to no importance are still part of a character. Im not sure what moves you had to unlock in this but Im pretty sure you would sometimes be providing access to higher dmging combos, better reset options, better zoning or rushdown options, etc.

          I know what he’s saying (and it’s a valid complaint); certain skills like Super Cancel are so good that it really makes a difference in how you can maximize a character’s potential.  I do like the memory card system in that you can take your customized characters with you, but yeah, a person who’s completely new to the game (or doesn’t own it) is left without any add-ons.

        Not to mention all I saw in that was them dashing towards each other and being the first to land the same exact jab.  Compare that to Super DBZ where we saw each character having a variety of useful normals and spacing options.

    Super DBZ was a great game. So what it didn’t have every single useless (and filler) character ever? At least EVERY character in Super DBZ had their own unique moveset, unlike the Budokai and Tenkaichi games where everybody pretty much played exactly the same. Plus having ChiChi playable was kickass. Dat Bansho Fan.

    God, I remember thinking Budokai 3 was going to be like this from what everyone hyped high level play. Even had the game myself, but as a tween, flight combos and strict SF controls ARE rocket science, so I dumped it like everyone else.
    Still kept adult/Ultimate Gohan and Videl (Pigtails) as my mains though.

    Nostalgia over 9000!

    Anyway, I don’t know about you guys, but I’d like to see an arcade Bleach fighter. A competitive arcade style Bleach fighter seems to “match” the series the most out of the 3 current great Shounen series. Probably won’t come true, but one can dream right?

    • Anonymous

      I dunno, the Bleach fighters on DS (Blade of Fate/Dark Souls) were pretty solid. A solid engine, a great cast of characters (shout-outs to my Dark Souls main Ichimaru <3) and those Flash Step combos/mixups were crazy cool. Unfortunately, due to the game being for portables, it didn't really get a following. At all. Dark Souls should have gotten an arcade/bigger console release.

        I could have said that too, but apparently IaMP is already good enough to play competitively, so I didn’t figure I would step on what already works. SWR and Hiso, on the other hand, would make excellent zoning games if the graze mechanic didn’t blow it all off. It’s kind of discouraging to me to come up with a useful sequence of bullets only to have a single dash nullify all of it :<

        Less broken and more balanced than Jojo’s and the Marvel games. Duel has the best engine for an anime fighter, glitches that inhance the game not destroy it, a rosterr balanced enough where everyone can win, cheap bullshit but not too cheap, great meter manegment, it’s the best anime fighte. Jojos is second but Jojo’s has a legit busted character in Pet Shop.

I never did any of the shit there doing in this video, and it’s fucked up that this game get’s buried in the sands of time while all the blow pop bullshit soils DBZ’s good name like an orangutan with the diarrhea.

I never did any of the shit there doing in this video, and it’s fucked up that this game get’s buried in the sands of time while all the blow pop bullshit soils DBZ’s good name like an orangutan with the diarrhea.

    This game deserves a sequel, and I am damn close to starting some kind of online petition (or something LoL) to give a REAL DBZ fighting game another shot at the glory it deserves.

    P.S This games soundtrack is dope.

    I had this game, I loved the hell out of this game, Chichi was REALLY good in this game, but it just never went anywhere and that’s a shame. This is really the best DBZ game, hands down.

    Goddamn, the original Japanese voices are annoying as shit.

    SDBZ would have been better with a bigger cast, selectable voice casting options, and so and and so forth. As it was released, it’s the closest thing to the REAL Dragon Ball Z fighting experience: the Super Butouden series. By now they really seem archaic and lacking, but when released, they were great 2D fighting as only Dragon Ball Z could present it. Fireball lockups ruled. I’ve always wanted to see a modern interpretation of that engine, albeit with more modern 2D fighting mechanics (so it isn’t relegated to doujin fighter hell). It was because of the Super Butouden games that I even knew of Dragon Ball Z in the first place… years ago.
