  • Releasing in 2003, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 became an instant classic with its fun gameplay, unique and interesting story mode, and a whole cast of new characters not seen in the previous entry. Despite it being a great game, not a whole lot has been talked about its beta and cut content elements, so I will be covering things about this game that some of you may not know!
    The preview build didn't let me equip capsules, so I went through the story with just doing combo cancelling, it wasn't fun fighting Kid Buu.

    I think I would've personally enjoyed the hair physics and the small detail of the characters turning with the cursor on the map. But hey, I'm happy with the final product and these games, especially B2 as it was maybe my first DBZ game if I recall, will always have a special place in my heart.

      ​@@jferrandowI'm pretty sure it was because maybe the disc space wasn't enough to keep that in in the final product

    As a fan of cut content, it’s always pretty cool to see what content was cut before the final game was released. These older dbz games have a special place in my heart for these reasons alongside the older halo games.

    0:30 there are also unused skill sets for android 19, kid gohan, dodoria, and zarbon in the final game, they don't have any death or physical moves but they have their special equipment capsules from budokai 1 which made them easy to identify
    there's also another unused character skill set that i personally believe belongs to kibito, but they don't have any unique capsules assigned to them, unlike the budokai 1 characters, so it's impossible to tell for certain from just the texture files

    • @KegOfMeat
      @KegOfMeat Рік тому +1

      Kibito is a good guess especially since they would have made moves up for him because he didn’t have any notable ones in the show. It could have also been Pikkon but perhaps he was cut because they couldn’t get the Thunder Flash Attack to work.

    Very interesting. I know the the mouth open thing was often in characters from b1 but it’s good they changed that. My best friend loves budokai 2 so I will have to share this video with her. Thanks for making this!

    I only recently found out that JP B2 has Cooler as Friezas alt💀. I never knew about alot these since I barely digged into b2 other than swapping head mods but seems like alot was also cut

    • @grognougnou
      @grognougnou Рік тому +3

      Cooler is only available as Frieza's Alt in the Special Japanese V-Jump version of the game. But both the V-Jump and the normal Japanese versions of Budokai 2 have Kuritza as Alts for Frieza.

    Zarbon and Dodoria were probably meant for the Stage 2 snow level, instead of fighting Recoome and Ginyu twice.
    Also, so glad they changed the energy beams from Budokai 1!

    Around 2:04 you can notice a Saibaman flying past Gohan, could it be a stand in for a missing Chaotzu model?
