Oh man the nostalgia. This game was my first proper introduction to DBZ and fighting games in general. The satisfaction of actually doing a Frieza death ball against my uncle in a fight was the best!
I can’t be the only one that can recall being demoralized trying to beat Cell and have him drop that spirit bomb in the campaign Edit: it’s been so satisfying to hear so many of you went through the exact same thing. That game must’ve been hard or we all really sucked at it growing up.
This just took me back in time a bit. I love how broken 19s energy drain and ginyus body swap are. All you have to do is pull off the one move and you win by default basically.
Because Funimation is run by idiots and they just needed to. It really is strictly a Funimation thing with Raditz and his attacks. Makes me curious now to check the Oceandub version!
Don't know why they went in that direction, but I never really questioned it because of how slightly humorous they sounded. Double Sunday, Saturday Crush, Saturday Crash, Shining Friday, Dynamite Monday. In Budokai 2, he even has attacks called Exciting Year and Weekly Special. I laughed so much at seeing the latter name.
@@straightjacket308Budokai localizes very few of the move names, using mostly direct translations. Raditz movelist is identical in japanese, his actor even shouts “Saturday crush”, so no it’s not a Funimation thing.
Another weird thing in the game is that when you check out the vs display in the main menu, you see goku and vegeta fighting, and vegeta has his Buu saga get up on.

It's kinda neat tho, cause the attacks represent themselves based on the form. White for his beauty and black for his true bestial nature, at least that's how I see it.
As a child i couldn't understand why should i perform a full air combo just to launch a super, and why kamehameha was yellow....thank god it was fixed in Budokai 3
So whoever voiced android 19 should have voiced him in all of the dbz games and they should have nicknamed him “chuckles the ass clown” as an insider for those who know😂
Never got the point in the position moves for the ginyu force in this game. Also I like how it sounds like Vegeta is saying "lets finish this shit" when he does his final flash.
I believe the poses gives you buffs to your attack and defense, depending on which pose gives that kind of buff. Great Saiyaman's ultimate, the Justice Pose, and one of Hercule's ultimates, Hercule Special in B2 and B3, is also a buff, but to both attack and defense, if you pull it off. Plus it stacks up to three times, so when you get that, their regular supers are almost equal to the damage of an ultimate.
Budokai 1 is one of the most unique looking Dragon Ball games honestly. Some people may think it looks ugly or whatever, but that's honestly part of the charm if you ask me, makes it stand out on it's own apart from just being the first Budokai game. And it's the only game I've seen that follows as closely and accurate as possible to the anime.
Some of these are hilarious

Hellzone Grenade was such a bitch to pull off in this game
Special Beam Cannon was harder for me.
@@Zacman1123 For me Special Beam Cannon was the easier after Warp Kamehameha and Final Flash
And it takes so much KI / you have to be fused with Kami
@@ElGokuPESero123 wym by after? you found SBC easier than warp kamahameha and final flash?
@@thetruesquad5059 no, the easiest were Warp Kamehameha and Final Flash, excluding those, the easiest for me was SBC
1:05 BOMBEEEEEER!
I actually like the scream there
@@Opheebop-Productions It is pretty cool.
Cell trying to fly away from the Super Kamehameha LMAO!!!!!
10:30 😂😂😂😂😂
This just took me back in time a bit. I love how broken 19s energy drain and ginyus body swap are. All you have to do is pull off the one move and you win by default basically.
Zarbons possibility cannon should have definitely been a super move in xenoverse 2
Why does Raditz have his attacks named after the days of the week lol 😂

Raditz just loves the days of the week.

I used to beat this game everyday sense I didn’t have a memory card as a kid. Hearing cells cry’s in pain is so iconic 😂 uwaaaaaaaaa! 5:20
This generation don’t know the struggle of not having a memory card😅
I remember when i got the game wondering why goku and rest of the guys have a golden kamehameha's and has Cell gets to have the blue one
Lol same
manga
I don't know if I'm going crazy or not but I could've sworn that there was a Kamehameha move for Gohan but instead it was Kamehameka.
@@Bloodhurl67Kamekameha is Goten
That was one of the things that made Cell my favorite character to play as.
4:15 best move ever
Recoomes ultimate in this game is top tier 🔥💯
It makes NO sense going THIS hard!
wtf I never knew about mecha frieza being in this game
Piccolo in these games just held a Special place in my heart...
Tien's blast cannon comes from behind him lol
wait. so budokai 1 only goes up to the cell saga but the great sayiaman is in it?? how do i not rememeber this??
Another weird thing in the game is that when you check out the vs display in the main menu, you see goku and vegeta fighting, and vegeta has his Buu saga get up on.
You can only get great saiyaman after you win and complete the advanced tourney
I remember playing this on Gamecube, and all the voices were in Japanese. Either I wasn't aware of how to change them or you couldn't haha

This and the Simpsons Skateboarding were my two first ps2 games. My best friends next door got a Xbox...what a Christmas
It's weird that Zabon's Possility Cannon was white in his normal form but in his Monster form it's black
It's kinda neat tho, cause the attacks represent themselves based on the form. White for his beauty and black for his true bestial nature, at least that's how I see it.
Sheesh raditz Saturday crush is powerful
Can anyone confirm Hercule’s finish when he drops the bomb and handles it to krillen, is that a Sega game gear? Looks like it from the back
More an amalgamation of the game gear and a gba. This was released a year after the GBA hit the market.
I just now realized Ginyu is saying "Fantastic body!"
Have no idea wtf i thought he was saying as a kid
Bro do those fighting poses actually do anything 🤣
Vegeta’s final flash combo used to piss me off since it could be blocked mid attack
Why are Goku and Vegeta in Civilian Clothes ?
Why do they have to punch to throw energy blasts? That's so stupe
I like how some of the special moves destroyed the ecosystem 😂
How tf wa Cell Kamehameha blue but Goku was yellow
piccolo had the best moveset
Wait a minute.....i didn't realize Great Saiyaman was in this game... He shouldn't have been in this game at all.
He's the final unlock.
@@macdaddymario Ah, okay I see
You’ve done a great service by having Captain Ginyu changed to 18
I NEVER KNEW THEY HAD STAGE TRANSITIONS IN THIS GAME!!
i remember double stacking the ultimates for more damage and stronger visual effect
As a child i couldn't understand why should i perform a full air combo just to launch a super, and why kamehameha was yellow....thank god it was fixed in Budokai 3
Fixed in Budokai 2 actually, also in the official colored manga the Kamehameha is often depicted as yellow early on
Same thing I always asked! I always thought it was field bomb lol
better than all the xenoverse crap
death ball looks like indian movies
0:26 Zarbon the sexy man ❤😍
What do the fighting poses do again? Does anyone remember?
They buff up your attack and defense. I believe they stack up to three times.
Sooo... Uhhh... Do the ginyu force poses... Do something? Like Defense upgrade? Or attack upgrade?
MEGATON BLAST ATTACK
So whoever voiced android 19 should have voiced him in all of the dbz games and they should have nicknamed him “chuckles the ass clown” as an insider for those who know😂
Hate that Zarbon, Dodoria and Android 19# are only in this game and not the other Budokia games as playable characters
What I wanted video
Ahh the good ol days where button mashing actually gave you results 😂
The makers of naruto were clearly a fan of trunks' burning attack 😂
Is there a reason why raditz says the days of the week?
5:23 Destructo Disk!!!!!
3:59 😂😂😂 kills me everytime
Double Sunday. Saturday Crush. 😂
Poor #19 😂
Wait since fucking when was the great saiyaman in the game
7:08 what she said ?
"Field On" i believe
Love the cut after "Present for you" goes off and just shows both Krillin and Hercule dead.
Someone explain Gohans super kamehameha
What's up with Raditz and weekends 😂😂
These are all just look like the same big ki blast im so glad budokai 2 and 3 upgraded the looks
why nappa swishing and swooshing so hard 😂😂😂
Milky Cannon! 😂
I did not know mecha frieza was playable in budiakai 1
My reaction: 😳
Bloody legend
Eraser Gun
cool
Oh no the english dub
Never got the point in the position moves for the ginyu force in this game. Also I like how it sounds like Vegeta is saying "lets finish this shit" when he does his final flash.
The position moves probably grant some kind of buff in the game
@@StoryArtsConcepts I never noticed it in B1 but I got it later after B2 and B3 because in B1 the description is literally "strike a pose"
@@BabaSunWuYan idk I’ve never played Budokai and that’s my only assumption for why it’s there

I can't believe this game was released 20 years ago
Man, the years go by very quick
I remember watching my older sister play it like it was yesterday
She probably sucked ass at it
