Did you watch the same video I watched? Jeff was the one who said "seriously that is not that bad" when Vinny complained that pressing two buttons was to hard for him.

Not a terrible game(I'm playing the PS3 version right now thanks to gamefly)but since I'm not  huge DBZ fan anymore, I still prefer other fighting games.

F the haters.  I still like DBZ and it's too late to change that, no matter what happened.

Protip: L2 and LT are triggers.

The intro video was great. With Sonic Boom on top it was fantastic.

dragonball z is the name of a deck. young goku to teen goku/with toddler son gohan is Z deck. dragonball GT is a futhur deck. plain dragon ball is the name of the whole thing. raging blast got characters both from Z and GT which probly why they didnt put Z cuz it has almost every character in dragon ball decks.

Its not a re-release, they are completely redrawing it and following the manga properly. As a result its much shorter than DBZ was. "
Dude it's a re-release but with some scene redrawn,all the fillers taken out,and some new voice actors. Also it's censored as hell now  at least on the Nicktoons one. They took Bardocks scar off, removed some blood and some scenes that are too violent are gone but u can still see traces of it. I hear Akira thinking about making a new Dragon Ball Series on anime vice u should go check that out. And could the giantbomb team be anymore wrong about DBZ even though what they were saying was funny as hell lol. "
You're right that the Nicktoons one is censored. The entire thing is uncensored on DVD/Blu Ray.

If that was directed at me, read what I wrote again. Reading comprehension is key. I know that L2 and LT are triggers. Also what you said had nothing to do with what I said or what YukoAsho said.

I sick of the same dragonball z story being repeated over and over again. I have seen it wayyyyyyyyy too many times. Need a game thats an all new story with a new villian and everything. Not just a small part of the game being a new story which is lame.

Heh, it's funny Ryan Davis addressed the abruptly halting spinning circle load thing. For some weird reason that bothered me too.

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit for the 360 was so much better and felt like a good fighter I have no idea why they made Raging Blast or why the made a sequel on top of that.

I think the fact that Vinny is terrible at the game made it look considerably worse than it probably is.
 
And it's probably still pretty terrible. :/ I don't think it's impossible to make a good Dragon Ball game. The original premise of the show was quite good before DBZ era shit fucked it up. I played that SNES era DB game that followed the story and it was really pretty fun. The developers just suck.

I can never get a bead on what Vinny thinks about Dragon Ball.  Sometimes he defends it, and other times it seems like he's making fun of it.

I always hate watching the guys play a DBZ game. Minus Evolution since that game was complete garbage. Anyway, they always say the controls are awful when they really aren't. If you learn how to play the DBZ games Tenkaichi and on you'll find they are wonderful and fun. It's annoying when people say streamline these controls that aren't difficult to learn at all. 
 
All I want is for one of them to learn how to play which doesn't take long at all and then judge the game based on it's merits and not ignorantly judge it.

They changed too many voices for me and it doesn't look that great. I prefer the original even if it does have filler. I just bought all the seasons on DVD so I'm not going to bother watching or buying Kai.

Dragon Ball Z seems to be coming back. The have the remastered series on Nickelodeon called Dragon Ball Z: Kai thats been playing. Plus theres the excellent Dragon Ball Z: Abridged series on youtube. 
 
Even though looking back on Dragon Ball Z I realize its pretty stupid, It will always have a special place in my heart because I watched it so much as a kid.

Exactly. I bought the seasons on DVD because they were $20 each and you know what I learned after re watching it... it's stupid :P But it has a place in my heart forever.

If he can fly why does he need to do a backflip? DB zed or otherwise is utter shite, power fantasy my arse. Overblown everything with only your overblowing imagination to limit you; like tortureporn (also shite). Thank you for reading my all knowing views on this matter.
