This is one of those games i was too young to understand why it was bad, so ive got very fond memories with it lol
That must be me with Sagas bc it’s not my favorite by any means but I really liked it as a kid 😂
Yeah me too, when I came out I thought it was the newest and coolest thing out in dragon ball lol. I loved creating my character and even though I needed help from my dad for the button smashing, I loved it. I was young like you said, so I didn't exactly think anything dragon ball could be considered bad.
Same bro plus this has one of the best sound tracks ever
That's good I'm happy for you
@@JOK3RC4RDx Sagas actually had good gameplay tho, unlike this game, but aside from the gameplay, this game is flawless
The funny thing is that in Japan this game had no connection to the Sparking series aka tenkaichi, but more to the Raging Blast series, because the Japanese version called it for Ultimate Blast.
and its based off of raging blast 2's engine. they share animations
The name was chosen by fans with a poll
Yeah gotta roll my eyes whenever someone goes on a long monologue about this game in relation to the BT games because there’s no connection between the two aside from the developer.
I love this Dragon Ball Z game!
This was still such a big part of my later childhood! The music banged hard
The worst Dragon Ball game is Taiketsu on GBA.
Did you forget about Sagas on the PS2?
As a kid I asked for supersonic warriors as a gift and got Taiketsu. I was great full but uhhhhh
@@7783alfonso You mean GT final bout
noooooooooooooooo its Sagas
Sagas was based 😂@7783alfonso
Whether or not you can break out of a combo in this game is dependent in your ki. The more ki you have, the easier it is to break out of a combo. Ki = Defense in this game, even down to your evasion options when facing a super attack.
Also, you didn’t cover this, but there is a (somewhat) meaningful distinction between square and triangle combo paths. Square combos deplete your opponent’s ki (thus getting rid of their defensive options when you launch a super attack) and Triangle combos build up your Spirit gauge, obviously allowing you to use your supers.
Of course, the fact that whether or not you’re able to start a combo is predicated on a coin flip is absolute dog ass, but there is some level of depth here.
I was someone who DID my research and still thought "nah, it can't be that bad". And boy was I wrong. I actually played this again a few years ago, a friend of mine needed help getting the online trophies, so we knocked those out and it just reaffirmed how much I detest this game. Like I agree, visually it still looks great (on PS3), but it gets so repetitive, so fast and it never stops feeling that way.
This game was full of great ideas and perfect for casual multiplayer. It didn't really work out for me, but I did have a lot of fun fighting the giant bosses.
Game was trash asf I remember being geeked abt it dropping then was sad asf😂
Welp, I gotta be that person I'm afraid... sorry, at around 10:00 or so
Escaping combos entirely comes down to how much ki you have (the same ki used to transform, activate the... mode I forget the name of rn and do defensive options to supers)
I don't remember the exact amount, I wanna say around ⅓ of the full gauge, is needed in order to proc the escape chance but good luck trying to actually do that, it's in the same vein as the qte where you have to press the button as the light enters the circle but you have way less time to react (and the same input delay) so even if you do have the ki to dodge good luck actually landing it if the AI doesn't get hit on the initial counter (they won't)
Also square attacks drain ki, I bring this up to say that if you're trying to escape a combo and it's a square combo? You have to have near full ki to escape that
You can cheese the ai with this though as if you have high ki they like to prioritize draining your ki (so they will go for square on their offense)
Anyway, my moment of being that person is over, have a blessed day
I actually appreciated Ultimate Tenkaichi as a kid.. I was 11-12 at the time playing this on XB360, and I loved the game for what it is.. Yes, the combat was different than basically any other DBZ game (R-P-S combat), definitely luck based, some of the story didn't make sense, had some funny interactions between characters, and some apparent flaws, BUT, the visuals were amazing to me back then, creating your own DBZ character and having your own story for the first time (Pre-Xenoverse Era) this was dope af! Yes it was lack-luster compared to previous DB games, but for what it was, it was unique and fire to me.
This game was just insulting. It was during the time when they would inexplicably take two steps forward and five steps back so we never got anything truly great except for a few exceptions. It almost felt like they made it weird and bad on purpose. Basically they said “Raging Blast -> Raging Blast 2 -> Fuck you!”
Also why do great apes look like that? It’s like they used no references at all and tried to recreate it from memory.
I think if this was the kinect version, I feel an argument could made for this being The Worst, but DBZ Sagas, Final Bout, Taiketsu, and Legacy of Goku 1 are all way worse than this.
Sagas is 100% over hated. It’s basically disliked for being made by a western dev and for not being a fighting game. As soon as you start getting in to the weeds of the actual game itself it’s nowhere near as bad as people want it to be.
I’d put legacy of Goku 1 above it just for nostalgias sake, it had an excuse since it was on the Gameboy.
And final bout wins off of the soundtrack and roster alone
Hey! I enjoyed Final Bout. Definitely feels like a precursor to Budokai in a lot of ways
Im sorry but Id much rather play sagas or legacy of goku 1 over ultimate tenkaichi
@@Darksyd2 THANK YOU
6:51 Joke or not, there is a lot of truth to that statement and I’m tired of people pretending there isn’t.
I still love this game. It had an amazing BMG and the CC was amazing. And side note. You need Max ki energy to break out of combos. If you don't have enough ki energy, it won't matter how fast you mash. You need ki for defense.
Also I can't complain about the rock paper scizors parts of the game cuz like.... I remember having a blast playing with my friends back in the day and THEN it was just the new dragon ball game and we were just fightin it up lol, its a more casual twist on the combat for sure, now DBZ Kinect tho ,... ew
literally, as lack-luster and bad as people say Ultimate Tenkaichi is, I genuinely enjoyed it for what it was.. and being able to create your own character on console for the first time was so fire to me 😤 I didnt mind the R-P-S combat either, it was different and unique to me. I was like 11-12 playing it, nostalgia at its finest, had it on XBOX360.
@@ablizzy It's got a cool character creators , just sad no female option till XV , And other races
I always love your videos! I even watch videos you produce on games I have never heard of before bc the nostalgia is unmatched. I found this channel through “MrMattyPlays” through a channel that was focused on (BGS) RPG games and somehow you manage to scratch every itch. What I miss, what I love, what I want, and what is going on currently with gaming. I watch every video you post on either channel. The unboxing factor of your uploads are always unmatched. Keep doing what you’re doing Matty :)
I played the heck out of BT3 on my wii. When I first saw this game I picked it up in a heartbeat on xbox and I thought it was trash. I was so disappointed i haven't bought a DBZ game since, even though i am a big fan of the series. Now i preordered Sparking Zero and am super hyped that they are finally giving me a sequel to the best DBZ game
Says the guy who hasn’t played any db games since 07
We gotta get gt costumes for gohan, goten, trunks, and vegeta! And them baby possessed and battle damage!
7:09 Agree bro! First time being able to create your own character was so nuts to me and everything I wished for as a kid..even with it being limited and lack-luster compared to its successor. This lead the way for the Xenoverse era and character creation.
What does Ultimate Tenkaichi do well?
It's not DBZ Sagas.
I never understood why Ultimate Tenkaichi got so much hate. Maybe because it doesn't live up to the older Tenkaichi games? I don't know. I just remember really enjoying this as a casual experience as a kid, not wanting to stress myself over losing over and over in Budokai 1 and 3. It was a lot easier, and more casual. I like the visuals, and I do like the "rock paper scissors"-esque combat system. And (even if limited) it was the first game to have character creation, I believe. Which offered its own story! This game will always be one of my favorites in the Dragon Ball franchise
Because it took the worst part of Budokai 3, repetitive and tedious QTE’s, and made an entire game out of it.
It's because it's trash asf. It took the worst parts of Budokai 3 and Raging Blast and made them way worse. I'm currently replaying it for trophy purposes and it's still shit just like it was in 2011.
@@shecklesmack9563 what! that was like one of my favorite things about Budokai 3
the dragon rush QTE thing was so fun
ESPECIALLY against my brother or friends 💔
@@thedpstan to each their own, I guess lol
@@ritzcat Dragon Rush was annoying against a CPU tho
Ultimate Tenkaichi
Man I remember thinking this was gonna be sparking zero
Ultimate Tenkaichi I wouldn't even consider the worst Dragon Ball game, that goes to Battle of Z
Will never understand the decision-making with the combat system
Rock, Paper, Scissors Simulator 😂
"very easy to lay out what the game did wrong"made it a rock paper scissor game with dbz characters and put an iconic name behind the title made it full price
I've played this and Raging Blast 2 when they released. Man going back to those games now gives a whole different experience depending on which one I play lol
Never played this one but it'd be cool to see a DBZ Burst Limit video in the future. Loved that game, it was so underrated.
Man oh man oh man I remember when I seen the trailer for this game in class freshman year (or sophomore) was hype that we had our own character with a voice and he's a Saiyan and when I got this game. . . . I had a blast to this day it's still in my top 5 Dragon Ball games I do make a flip-flop with Budokai Tenkaichi 2 an ultimate Tenkaichi I do wish this game got a sequel or DLC with super content mannnnn LOVE the evade (when I got good) always had my opponent should a beam at me just so my custom character could push it back and throw it away Broooooooo man the 1st DB game where are character can go super kaioken (basically just being super saiyan and using one of the kaioken attacks)
Me and my friend who also really likes dbz basically speculated thus game being what xenoverse became and were so glad that youtube was around to show this game was not what we thought
They really put a lot of emphasis on the story mode and presentation, but unfortunately the presentation is also really sloppy. I rewatched some story mode fights and the animation is extremely stiff and janky, and they rip the voice lines straight from Raging Blast, so Gohan and Frieza swap between their Z and Kai voices randomly.
I’ve always thought that the character creation was great. You could change aura, change your fighting styles, your hair would change when you transform. I hoped xenoverse would apply some of this but they never did.
I didn't get how they made a DBZ fighter so bad, when they literally had the Budokai template.
*Tenkaichi
getting whooped by my cousin using a saibaman while im using gogeta on ultimate tenkaichi has never left my memory 2011 december in puerto rico. 11 year old me has yet to let it go
Get your payback in sparking zero!
I loved the story mode with your own custom Saiyan. That shit was great
Aww dood. I would buy used games and didn’t like them and trade them in as well.
Manager, told me after like 4 returns I couldn’t return them. Cause this isn’t a video game rental store and after that. I stopped giving GameStop any business after that.
I was so hyped when I saw that trailer and then I finally bought the game a few days after launch super excited and then I saw the rock paper scissors gameplay and it crushed my soul
I really didn’t hate this like most others. It wasn’t the combat heavy entry like its predecessors but I did understand that they were focusing more on the flair than the mechanics.
Custom character was a huge deal to me too.
Gosh we are all tooooo antsy for sparking zero. WE WANT THAT GAME. AND WE WANT IT NOW!!!
This is wild, might be the only Dragon ball game I have never played. I am in my mid 30's and I used to play roms of Japanese super nintendo DB games since there wasn't any in the U.S. So I have played a lot of games, even the terrible GT final Bout and another PS1 game that all the attacks were just different colored energy balls essentially.
You are missing absolutely nothing. It doesn’t even satisfy any kind of curiosity, it’s just an empty and soulless experience.
I actually bought this game again recently for nostalgia. I knew it was ass but I wanted to play it anyways😭 Only things I enjoy about it are the music, graphics, and boss fights
even though i was like 11, i hated playing this game when i rented it for my brothers ps3.. immediately i was like what the hell is this combat, it is horrible and random, and the only positive thing about this game is the visuals..
As far playing the game it was disappointing, but it's also a guilty pleasure for me. It's one of my favorite games to watch the CPU duke it out in.
Ultimate Tenkaichi would be a great game if the gameplay wasn't rock paper scissors. Great OST, Good customisation(Changeable Aura and moveset), Original Hero story and good graphics
I just bought this to get hyped for speaking zero, I had never played this before. Holy fuck it’s confusing as hell and soooo bad.
Hope you are covering Sparking Zero
God I hated this game coming off the Raging Blast games. Literally all they had to do was keep BT3 melee combat and it could’ve been one of the best.
The worst? Oh man I always liked this game. There were some fights that were unnecessarily difficult at times for me but I still loved it. I always considered Sagas to be the worst…
Sagas is good bro
You can't get out of a combo without ki. That's why mashing recovery doesn't do anything For you
The Graphics were pretty cool for its time.
I would love to see a video on raging blast its such a good game yet nobody talks about it.
This was my second favorite DBZ game other than BT3 growing up
Yes it is the most underwhelming especially considering the hype it had. But I had a lot of fun with this game when I played it
This game had a sick credits theme tho
The "Worst" DBZ game is dbz kinect, not this.. this can at least be the most enjoyable game of rock paper scissors you'll ever play
this game was literally a scam,scammed me for % dollars bc i couldnt get a full refund after i opened the plastic
i always wanted to create my own character like xenoverse but it still disappointed like all db games not even Sparking Zero because you cant make your own character in it but really xenoverse disappoint me is you can only be super saiyan 1 and 2 you cant even be super saiyan 3 thats disappointed.
I only have my ps2,ps5,and pc i wish I could get raging blast 1 and 2
Personally I don't hate this game, I went from tenkachi 1 to this and I liked it for what it was and I like the first CaC we could make, but it's 2player mode is what I hated about it, me and my buddy would play it and I used to beat him everytime because of the rock-paper-scisorrs thing
The music was top tier though
I actually liked this game, i just never accepted it as the continuation of the tenkaichi series
I firmly believe that this was a good game I loved the Budokai series and this felt like a 4th game
This and DMC Devil May Cry deserved better
Edit: also the best soundtrack in dbz game history
This game had fire music though i still listen to it today lmai
this game was raging blast 3 but they redid it into this game style because the sales were low and they wanted to do soething difernt to get fan intresrt back, it sucks onestly becuase raging blast 3 could have ben great
All they had to do was emulate what bt3 did gameplay wise. Every other thing about this game is amazing.
The tenkaichi style had to go at the time it was old
@@qdakid7776 RB1 and 2 would like to have a word with you
@@thegigahxrtz sales wise rb2 did not perform well At all that’s why they switched up
@@qdakid7776 “hey RB2 didn’t sell well, let’s try something retarded”
I would be hyped for Sparking Zero, but Kid Goku's voice (Colleen) still sounds absolutely horrible compared to Stephanie Nadolny who thankfully returns for the role in DB Daima.
Imagine this being the determining factor of your enjoyment of a game. The English dub voice of a single character.
It looks pretty good, to this day IMHO. If only they would release it again, but changing the fighting system...
🤔
You should've played burst limit
If they made the game strategic the gameplay could have worked with like RPG and strategy
Have you tried Xenoverse 2 with the Revamp overhaul mod?
people that think UT is the worst DB game never played taiketsu, the GBA card game or DBZ Kinect
Most people do not know what they want, not a joke. You good.
There is some good to say about this game. I still play it sometimes
umm it's 100% "TAIKAETSU"??? Don't even argue with me ✋️🤦♂️😭😭😭
Nah😂 at least with Taikaetsu you can a good laugh at how bad that game was. With Ultimate Tenkaichi, it's just painful to play and embarrassing.
Soundtrack and Story mode are great, the rest not so much...
This game was the epitomy of booty butt cheeks. I remember how hype I was when I saw the character creation screen. I was like "mannn this is gonna be legendary".
Bruh I ain't never been so disappointed by a DBZ game in my life. I remember losing the disc one morning and... not caring at all. Like til this day, I have no idea where it went and I still don't care 😂.
I wonder where Dragon Ball Z for Kinect is on the rating list?
To be honest THIS ISN'T THE WORST DBZ Game
Dragon Ball Z Battle of Z is
More surprised you chose to do it again
Worst DBZ game is Sagas. Loved it as a kid, played it with my son recently, it is a horrible game lol
The real Tenkaichi 4
Like my brother play Super Dragonball Z at least
Ultimate tenkaichi walked so Xenoverse could run
More like Ultimate Tenkaichi crawled so Xenoverse could walk lol
This game had a goated soundtrack tho
Sorry that title goes to kakarot
You're trolling right
@@cauliflablue3076 ong I hate it
I’ve never had a more mind numbing dragon ball game experience
I know I’m the minority lmao
@@JacksGameReviewsNah I agree with you. It’s weird because it had all the ingredients of a game I should love; an “open” world Dragon Ball Z action RPG. Yet somehow I was bored after like an hour and felt nothing playing it.🤷🏻 Usually I’m very easy to please with Dragon Ball but I haven’t touched it since then.
What a shame that a game with a great look had such awful gameplay.
Song name starting at 11:00?
This definitely was not bad to me
Isn't battle of z considered the worst dragonball game from this era of them?
I dont see why they keep releasing dbz games they all have the exact same story with different looks for characters. Everysingle one is the same thing
rock paper scissors dbz style
Worst DBZ games for me is definitely Taiketsu and DBZ Sagass..
I think Burst Limit had the best graphics, these graphics look plastic to me.
The worst dragonball z game is either legacy of goku 1 or dragonball sagas
Def not the worst , it has alot of fun aspects, Now if you want to try one that IS bad , Then fire up GT final bout, I remember my homie sending me a pic of it at the game shop one day and was like "look what I found!" and I was like no dont fall for it its a Trap! lol
its just boring, so it fits the truest definition of mid, like LoG1, and final bout are definitely worse, id put this value just around DB sagas cuz the patience they demand from you is about the same (seriously why tf did they even make the final half of CaC story mode a grind fest)
@@aokyoutsuki7744 idk man I can't hate I enjoyed UT back in the day, plus it was the first to bring SSJ4 Back after AWHILE , And that alone was enough of a selling point for me lol, don't know why they only added Gogeta tho
It is probably a bad game, but it has a great opening especially the European and Japanese version because they have the same opening.
GT Final Bout Opening

@@cauliflablue3076 same reason as always, they didnt have the 3d model made at the time, from raging blast, then 2 added more, then finally ultimate tenkaichi, which they made CaCs, the giant bosses, ssj4, u get the picture
That's not Dragon Ball Z Sagas
10:17 that's lowkey a skill issue. This game was not that hard low-key
Nah that would be the one on PS1. That was awful.
I would say Ultimate Battle 22 is the worst imo, and hell, I even enjoyed Sagas
