GAME: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden

The game had potential, but it is too easy and same combos every moment, it saddens me more that the music is top notch.

The assist thing is fun. At least they limit to balance it. The supers are too slow.

The lack of online and training will be solved in the JP release update.

But is a shame that this is another button mashing DBZ game, but at least an Improvement over the Supersonic Warriors series

I'm guessing we won't get that update for a while. Also, I really think this series of games in the series always kinda sucked. The first 3 games had few playable characters, a crappy storyline, and the gameplay always wasn't what it should be. The DS game I played was basically all of DBZ Kai and then some but the way the game played was so damn archaic and weird that a bit of practice and a tutorial was required so I could play the game!

Yeah, fighters have always crappy storylines, even the most complex ones (The only one decent is Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-, from the same company)

The DBZ Kai Saiyan RPG is actually a pretty nice RPG in my point.

You say Guilty Gear's story is decent. I think it's alright too but I can't follow the story for the GG series sometimes.

People complain about Blazblue's story a lot, but those games have segments which give more exposition for the in-universe lingo such as Nox Nyctores and stuff. Feel free to say that it sucks that players have to do that in order to understand what's going on, but with GG, there are still things I don't understand e.g., what the hell a Gear is, the significance of certain groups, etc.

Looking for information on it doesn't help. Go on the Guilty Gear wiki and try to read up on Sol Badguy. The information I found on him also takes the spin-off games into account by including Sol's endings in every game and I heard that some of it is canon or something?? It isn't a proper list of canon for Sol so I can't follow it.

In response to the question of what a Gear is, the original game's instruction booklet describes it as "a fusion of human DNA, animal DNA, and magic." While I agree that GG's overarching plot is a bit too complex for a fighting game, I've always found it easier to follow than BlazBlue's story. As much as I love BB, I've always struggled to make sense of the "how and why" of the series' universe. The pertinent information is definitely available; I just can't process it.
