My favorite moment in a PS2 DBZ game was playing Yamcha's storyline in Budokai 3 because it alternates between huge time jumps and rewriting moments to make it seem like he did something useful.

In my honest opinion, I like how Budokai 1 and it's models look, They have a charm to them

The Budokai 2 opening was peak. I'm not upset at all with it and can't imagine starting Budokai 2 up without it.

I didn't realise this was a compilation video until the Sagas part lol

Budokai 1 has the most legit vibes imo. If watching the show wasn't an option, that game was the absolute best alternative at the time.

Oh heck yes a DBZ Flandrew episode on a Sunday morning. I'm happy.

Budokai 3 for ps2 again and again and again. Not only it has amazing capsule skills, if both players are good, it becomes so difficult to defeat one another that the fighting is so precise and last a really long time, it's good to play for showing off at group gatherings of gaming, back in the day

This threw me as a huge sense of dejavu, until I realized a lot of this was excerpts of his older videos thrown together.

15:48 You actually just described what happened when FUNimation hired Bruce Faulconer after they stopped using Ocean Studios

There have been some great Dragon Ball Z games in the modern day but I still feel the PS2 was the best system for DBZ games. My personal favorite was Budokai Tenkaichi 2 mainely for the robust single player mode.

10:57 the saibaman following you like a lost puppy is so adorable for some reason 😭

13:49 knew this joke was coming the moment you said about dende flying 😂

That exchange between Goku and vegeta at 22:01... Why I don't see memes with it? It's fantastic!

2:43 Piccolo looks like he drawn by Rob Liefeld.

I remember buying The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age as a child because we loved The Return of the King game at home, and it said ‘Two players feature’ on the box. It was a turn-based RPG. The two players option was the equivalent of passing the controller to your brother for him to decide the next action of certain characters. Highly dissappointed with that one back then, but it ended up being a good game on its own.

Something I've noticed as I've gotten older, it's pretty impressive how Budokai 1 nailed the art style without cell-shading

Fun fact about the boss fights in sagas (atleast on the xbox version i had) if you find them to hard you could plug in player 2s controller and take controll of the boss, so all you had to do was make them stand still.

I LOVE Hercule saying, "Got a little present for ya'!... SEE YA!!!" click BOOM! Still one of my favorite lines in all of media.

28:21 just wanna say penguin village is from Dr slump the anime/manga made by akira toriama that Arale is from

22:00 absolutely dying. I loved so many of these games but I was so bad at them. BT3's roster was amazing, but doing the 3D fighting arena style was so hard for me to get used to. RIP my Gamecube controller for Budakai 1 special beam cannon.
