Dragon Ball

>Dragon Ball fighting game gets announced
>It's always based on DBZ
Fuck this shit. I want a good pre-Z Dragon Ball fighting game. It could have so much potential
>Varied and fun characters instead of a dozen spiky, colored haired angsty dudes who look like clones of each other, and a bunch of evil edgy ayyliums
>Different martial styles and combat mechanics across characters instead of boring ki beams and endless teleportation or screaming:
>Goku
>Bulma (using weapons and Capsule tech)
>Yamcha
>Roshi
>Krillin
>Tenshinhan
>Tao Pai Pai
>Lunch
>General Blue
>Arale
>Devil Man
>etc
>Arenas could also be more varied instead of another Namek stage or "barren land nº 53676125": Roshi's house, tournament stage, pirate cave, Pilaf's palace...
>No mexican powerlevel faggotry discussions, no bullshit hair recolors, no discussions about Super/GT shit getting in, etc

God, It would be perfect.

Yeah, but you know, Z is popular. Z is what is going to sell.

this

This.
Z is literally the Reddit Game of Thrones of Dragon Ball. Subhuman normies don't even know there was anything before that soap opera trash.

GT was Dragon ball in space and you fucks hated it. So fuck off

GT was Z fan fiction.

A man can dream

You might as well go ahead and move this thread to Sup Forums, mods.

After playing the DQH games I'd really like a DB Musou game. The Toriyama asthetic is just so fitting for mowing through all kinds of creatures big and small

I thought Dragon Ball Z is Dragon Ball?

Yeah, there's no distinction or name change in the manga, but you now what we're talking about.

Dragonball Advanced is fantastic, but I do agree, a musou would be fun for a bit.

tenkaichi 3 had everyone you just listed except lunch and bulma, and also had roshi's, the tournament, kami's lookout, king castle, etc.

are there any good games based on the original Dragon Ball series?

>le hipster contrarian opinion

The only thing good about GT is how the final villains existed because overuse of the Dragon Balls.

I was really hoping Yamcha in FighterZ would be Bandit Yamcha. Makes no fucking sense for him to be Z Yamcha who doesn't fight anybody except Saibaman.

What about a dragonball racing game?

Dragon ball is trash, nigga. DBZ is the only one people care about.

Can we all agree that GT is much better than Super?

Play Revenge of King Piccolo on the Wii. It's pretty fun and it has all of DB remade and redubbed in the game's engine, which looks surprisingly good.

If it's based on OG DB I'd rather have an RPG or action adventure game
Fightan games are boring af

all the characters need to be able to fly around so they use their Z versions.

Advanced Adventures

More like the "I'm not american so I didn't grew up with DBZ opinion"

most of the villains in DB are pretty throwaway. I'd like kid goku though

The Capcom Jojos fighter was all throwaway villains too and it was glorious.

Honestly the DB bad guys have better gimmicks than all the dudes from Z.

only like the first 17 episodes
then it became an exaxt copy of dragon ball z

90% of the characters in Part 3 were throwaway villains.

This. OG DB was about a journey, personal growth, exploration and adventure. It's DBZ that started fetishising 10 episodes long "this isn't even my final form" fights.

I'm not American either, shitskin

Tenshinhan tournament forward were the best and most memorable DB arcs and they all already had DBZ vibe.
DB before Kuririn was pretty shitty to be honest.

The tournaments felt better to me than most fights in DBZ, primarily because they didn't rely on staring contests or who has more forms. It also felt special because there was more to the series than non-stop fightan.

You could make a fighting game out of the tourney but I just feel that's underselling the IP.

Dragon Ball wasn't even that good. It was okay in parts, but Toriyama turned it into a fighting series (that became Z in the Anime) because it wasn't selling.

It was an adventure series at first, but the reception was lukewarm and only picked up after he introduced the tournament, then more tournaments, more fighting, more training and the adventure stuff largely got forgotten. It went from being a kind'a "Journey to the West" story into being the prototypical Shounen, because of chasing popularity.

Being all hipster now and talking about how there's more potential for a DBZ game, rather than a DB one is silly. If DB had more potential, then DBZ wouldn't exist.

>It's DBZ that started fetishising 10 episodes long "this isn't even my final form" fights.

Stop watching the anime and read the manga then?

The Super Saiyajin transformation that took up an entire episode of the anime is about half a page in the manga. There's also a lot more of the silly DB humour (eg. Goku offers to let the Supreme Kai motoboat her, Vegeta gets pissed and says he should use his own wife for that).

90% of american dbz fans have no fucking idea who is most of the people on your list

powerlevels weres a mistake.

exactly. the first episodes have the same sense of adventure and reasonable powerlevels as the original dragon ball, but people hate gt because it turns into the most derivative and soulless series of disjointed fights ever, pretty much nulliying the good parts.

What is the best Dragon Ball (non-Z/GT) game and why is it Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure?

It was just a continuation of Z. Hunting for new and grander dragon balls and more transformations.

this makes me sad because i really really loved the part of GT before baby became a thing

The random animal people just kind of disappeared after a while, didn't they?
