People act like im speaking Sumerian when i praise raging blast. Glad someone finally giving the game its flowers. Graphics and fighting was phenomenal. Given it had Tenkaichis roster would of been the perfect next entry in the series.
Raging Blast 2 was THE game my friends and I played back in the day. So many nights of just constantly battling each other over and over. Really looking forward to Sparking Zero!
I've maintained for years that Raging Blast 1 is one of if not the best looking Dragonball game (at least prior to Sparking Zero) ever! Looks so much better than Raging Blast 2 imo and still holds up to this day! It's a shame that its mostly forgotten by fans today.
Agreed, Raging Blast 2 made everyone look kinda plastic-y whereas Raging Blast kinda looked clean and smooth like the anime. Xenoverse kinda leaned heavily into that same ugly plastic cel shading of RB2.
I loved this game so much I didn’t play the tenkaichi games much. Got this game in middle school and fell in love I felt like I was in the anime lol. People knock on this game a lot which I don’t know why. I think the 1 is better than 2. Far from a perfect game but it really under appreciated to me.
i actually really love the slightly washed out coloring and thinner lineart in this game, i really like how most of the characters look. this look with sparking zero’s effects, and maybe more bold and defined outlines (just to help the characters stand out more against the backgrounds) would be amazing
Just wish they would use Cel-shaded background textures similar to XV or Burst Limit to make the stages resemble the anime more. The stages in RB looked a bit too generic, and unidentifiable form the anime.
@@diegomedina9637His contribution was small but his character and especially in the fighting games was cool and as much as I love RB1 he should’ve been in there…. That’s why he was one of the most used characters in RB2 cuz he was wanted
I remember all the hours I poured into this and then finding out there was a SECOND one. It was great, the only thing lacking in RB2 was Galaxy Mode being a rather cheap story mode, but the challenges in it were pretty fun to do. People complain about the whole "plastic" look, but its not like the game looked bad, it still holds up now. I liked BT3 as much as anyone else, but I can't deny that RB1 & 2 felt more like playing the anime than BT3. Sure they sacrificed some of that scrambley speed BT3 had in some scenarios, but it's not like fast-paced gameplay is absent from the game and lots of the heavy hits feel CRAZEE with the dramatic camera angles from charged attacks, snap vanishes, etc. I will say though, the depth of the combat is just as deep as BT3 with the many combo routes spawned from not just the shared fighting style of BT3 but also from the signature skills and potentially even DEEPER than BT3 because of its cancels AND the cool mechanic of being able to deflect beam and orb related supers if you react on time. No disrespect to the OG, but outside of Sparking Zero, RB1 and especially RB2 were definitely upgrades in most areas.
Gonna miss certain aspects of the gameplay like manual vanishing and manual sways since SZ is more BT focused but hopefully l the change doesn’t feel too bad for me. I only played the Tenkaichi’s through middle school till the PS3 came out then got on RB a little older and put more time into since my PS2 had basically died from old age lol
My issue with this game was the lack of depth in the gameplay especially coming off of tenkaichi 2/3. The sized seemed roster especially not including GT in both games which made no sense to me the story and changes to world tournament they just removed a lot that didn’t need to be removed in my opinion. Which is why I was never a big raging blast fan not to mention the sound design and animations for attacks movement etc. there’s a lot that goes into making a dragon ball game really feel like you’re playing the anime. Something I love about tenkaichi was how every blow actually felt so solid because of the sound design then the energy beams whenever a big or even small energy beam it’s you here a tone of damage sound effects along with a big flash of light of the attack strong enough that flash will take up the whole screen for a second along with a big explosion. That always felt very realistic to me compared to later Gabe’s which stopped doing that especially raging blast. The beam attacks feel like and sound like they hold no weight at all. It’s really weird . Sparking zero at least you get a big smoke cloud which it’s not the same as the old games but I don’t mind cause it adds a layer to gameplay .
This is my #1 DB game. I look past the flaws and find this game to be the most fun game I've played in a while. More than the modern db games like Xv2 and DBZK. However I can see why it's usually regarded so low. However what I feel is definitely trashed on too much are the visuals. This game's visuals are much better than RB2, UT, and even games like xv2. The colors remind me of how they actually looked in the manga/anime, and there isn't any of that stupid plastic effect that RB2's visuals are plagued with. Speaking of RB, RB1 story mode is infinitely better than Galaxy mode. I hated galaxy mode and still find it the worst of the "story modes" About the wall issue: you can press left or right on the D pad to switch your perspective and make it easier to see.
To be honest after getting the first budokai trilogy done and over with and then buying the first BT game and never really getting the other 2 titles other than through rentals, I skipped out on raging blast one. I don't know why but it's me just felt more of the same but not as good as the BT games that we had before although considering what we get after raging blast one I'd rather play that than say raging blast 2 or God help us all Ultimate Tenkaichi, I still regret getting that 1. It was because that 1 gave us the ability to make your own character but after playing it for about a few hours I realized that it was a dumb mistake but at least raging blast one is okay.
When I played Raging Blast I was having such a raging blast brother absolute W of a game, too bad it doesn't have any UI or SSG in there, imagine if we get UI Gogeta in Sparking Zero... I liked that idea so much that I made him a whole song in my channel, check it out if you like metal!!!
I remember thinking that besides the "better graphics" I thought it kinda felt like a step backwards compared to Tenkaichi 3. I honestly disliked the way the effects looked like the auras and energy attacks. They kinda felt cheapish in a way, similar to old adobe effects. The game has an overall "roundish" aesthetic which didn't strike me as being better than the previous games too, but I can understand if others would like it. All in all it felt like an alpha or beta game and not a truly complete and polished game.
I used to love playing this game back during my freshman year of high school, sidenote: idk what it is but something about base Goku’s model used to always bug me, like he looks off for some reason
I used to be very active on RB1 if RB2 didn’t look weird and certain aspects of the game didn’t feel off I would’ve stayed on that game but RB1 I had some dun battles with friends and just getting it in in ranked matches that game will always hold a place for me now I’m hoping Sparking Zero will bring that spark back due me especially with it being a actual new Tenkaichi
Never gave it the time of day but I've been playing it now as I still haven't finished building a pc for Sparking Zero and MAN this game is good, it's not as good as BT3 but the graphics and animations carry hard, and the combos, parrying and even the stick supers are a lot better than I remember
it has some cool graphics, music and features but it drops the ball on the most important aspect: gameplay. and that makes it not worth it to me. BT3 is still excellent despite the lack of features. Same applies for 2
I like the item customization. I don’t have rb1 but I have rb2. I put regeneration on kid buu and give him high melee damage fighting him on very hard is fun
Wouldn't really exaggerate it here. RB was okay, but in all honestly I never liked its special effects. They were pretty bad. Tiny beams, blury dust clouds, attack feeling weak, punches feeling weak. People complained about it back then for its flaws back then. Visually, its a weak game. Sparking Zero fixed a lot of its visual downsides imo with its change in art style.
So I peeked at this game with my friends, and at the higher level gameplay, it doesn't play as good as tankaichi, three. A few things to mention here is the movement mechanics as well as examples of gut punching characters.When they're facing the other way. The way L1 and L2 made your character fly up into the air combined with x is a high-tech move that is overpowered and people can smash newbies who don't know those techniques. Though the game was fun for me! 😂
Raging Blast Tops Tenkaichi 3 in graphics, movements and animations but that's it. BT3 has much more diverse attacks (I always saw it as a tremendous letdown when I saw that Goku's SS forms all have the same ultimate) There's also that time space between attacks for example, in BT3 you can execute attacks or supers consecutively but in RB, you are blocked by the game for a couple of seconds. Overall, the graphics and animations are better than BT3 but I believe BT3 tops the rest of all aspects.
Raging Blast is good, but I don't think it's underrated If we're really talking about underrated games, there's Battle of Z. Stupid name and bad box art aside, it's really fun in multiplayer. There's also Tenkaichi Tag Team, even the devs don't mention it when talking about Sparking Zero, it was the last actual Tenkaichi game
@@drag0nchampi0n Probably about 11 years ago looking back on my old videos back when I thought I was gonna be a UA-camr lol but those odd camera moments weren’t hard to get out of in a match other than when the super rising would have the camera go crazy if both players are trying to do it at the same time
I never noticed Ultimate Gohan's lacking inclusion cuz he's one of a few Gohan moments I don't care for But on this note the roster is very weird to me Gogeta but no Janemba? Broly but no other movie Villains? Lack of GT? (The games from here on ignore GT's existence mostly despite Super not coming out till XV1, BOZ if you count the movie BOG as Super. And that's a trend I despise as a GT fan) Also the two ssj3's is weird to me, they're cool but if you're missing existing Z characters then why add in these what if characters instead of finishing the Z roster. Then again I would rather play ssj3 Vegeta and Broly over Ultimate Gohan and... idk Lastly, this roster irks me because it is asymmetrical all it needs is one more character next to Kid Buu and Below Broly This game feels like what Burst Limit is to Budokai A spin off of the series it's based on (BT in this case) but starting from scratch (in terms of story content and characters) Basically a modern day version of BT1
Sparking zero proves why Rgb2 >>> Rgb Sparking zero had a mediocre story but amazing gameplay and will be remembered way more a lot of you sony tier gamers that only care for muh story
@destroyermcw626 Replayed a bit of Raging Blast 2 the other day. The game just feels weak compared to Tenkaichi 3. There were definitely things to love about these games, but try playing Tenkaichi 3 and then this game or the 2nd, and you can feel the step down. There doesn't look like there's much weight with the combos, plus the ki attacks look lame.
@@jasonone8726 I have BT2 and 3 on Wii U and Wii and most of my fun long play data is from Dolphin safely copied to My Wii and Wii U and I also did 1 online fight 2 months ago (Wii U USB loader GX) oh and I refuse to play without Wii remote and Nunchuck for both games (It’s fun and different this way). However Raging Blast is just more fair and balanced and has great combat and cancels and Vanishing consecutively like off of doing a charge hit for starters just works or if I’m lying on the ground I can vanish easily ect.
@@jasonone8726 I’ve played Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3 for my Wii U and Wii and all of my Fun longplay data comes from the Dolphin but all my Data was easily Copied to my SD cards and onto the vWii for Wii U and Wii and I’ve also played 1 online match on Wii U 2 months ago oh and I’ll only play with Wii Remote and Nunchuck because it made it more fun and actually play it longer including being high level for BT2 story replay. However I just like Raging blast 2 more because it’s smoother and fair and more updated and Vanishing just works consistently and even while I’m fighting (RB button) and it looks better and has Signature skills plus great Cancels and I can use Raging soul nicely for going all out or to make a comeback and Split screen sessions with 6 HP bars are fun and no complaints like with BT Splitscreen.
Going from Tenkaichi to this made me kinda never wanna go back to this after I got bt3 emulated. I’m sorry android 14 , 15, Cooler armored squadron fans are not cooler than Ssj4 And the GT villains. That and BT3 at least had interesting movie villains too like Giants like Fat Jamemba, Wheelo, Pilaf Machine, and oh how could I forget also having early dragon ball here? Note I’m talking about both of the raging blast games when I say this.
HIGHLY doubt we'll get SS4 Vegito, maybe wayyy down the line, but even then idk. SS4 will 100% be in Sparking Zero though, it's just a question of whether or not it's base game or DLC.
@JarboeGaming I hope I'm wrong... but it just seems smart to put SS4's and GT big bads behind a pay wall. SS4's are eternally fresh but GT as a whole is not. Tragic I know...lol
Despite all the DBZ games that have come out over the years, BT1 has the most badass and authentic Intro of all of DBZ games of the Franchise. BT2 and BT3 in my opinion still remains the most Unique and the best DBZ games in terms of content, quality and fanservices. And from the gameplay perspective aspects, these DBZ games that I mentioned are very close to the anime itself because of the Vibe and Charm, I don't know how to describe it but it was, and still is the most Unique DBZ experience you could have with the combat factor. (- Sheer amount de of characters - Transformations mid-battle (powering up and down) - Fusions mid-battle - Fast gameplay that has that "woah" feel - Tons of extra content - Story mode covering all sagas + movies - What If sagas - Shenron having permanent impact on game (character unlocks and whatnot) - Great tournaments that rotate availability - Edit characters with items (buffs) - 5v5 battles - Really Great and Epic Soundtracks - Destroyable environments - Entire stages could be blown up into their "destroyed" alternatives - Mission 100 being a great challenge - Artwork is 10/10 - Sound effects are great - Combat feels heavy and satisfying) Only Budokai 3, Infinite World and the Raging Blast 1 and 2 and all of PSP DBZ games except of Dragon Ball Z Evolution are still considered also very solid DBZ games, also the hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective.
Raging blast made ssj hair white during cutscenes that alone makes it peak.
fax and at the end of the battle after you win or lose i don’t care what anyone says this game looks amazing it’s THE best looking dbz game of all
Never played the first one, but Love Raging Blast 2.
Put dozens of Hours into Galaxy Mode alone. So good

However I just like Raging blast 2 more because it’s smoother and fair and more updated and Vanishing just works consistently and even while I’m fighting (RB button) and it looks better and has Signature skills plus great Cancels and I can use Raging soul nicely for going all out or to make a comeback and Split screen sessions with 6 HP bars are fun and no complaints like with BT Splitscreen.
I hate rb2 mechanics no flank no dragon dash cancel really slow game
In fine playing that and was just doing a Tournament last night with all opponents having my Custom 3 and the funny Announcer making it more alive.
You’re just assuming bro
This seriously looks so much better than Sparking Zero imho. Less is more.
Going from Tenkaichi to this made me kinda never wanna go back to this after I got bt3 emulated. I’m sorry android 14 , 15, Cooler armored squadron fans are not cooler than Ssj4 And the GT villains. That and BT3 at least had interesting movie villains too like Giants like Fat Jamemba, Wheelo, Pilaf Machine, and oh how could I forget also having early dragon ball here? Note I’m talking about both of the raging blast games when I say this.
I just moved on from those Blocky models and animations.
I used to spam the combo where you jump and hold square to break opponents guard
Sparking zero doesnt even have chacter customize L
The lack of SS4 sauce is abundant in these games 🥺 I hope we get DragonBall Hero reps in sparking zero, like SS4 Vegito... that would be cash 💰
HIGHLY doubt we'll get SS4 Vegito, maybe wayyy down the line, but even then idk.
SS4 will 100% be in Sparking Zero though, it's just a question of whether or not it's base game or DLC.
@JarboeGaming I hope I'm wrong... but it just seems smart to put SS4's and GT big bads behind a pay wall. SS4's are eternally fresh but GT as a whole is not. Tragic I know...lol
@@Ledluver I think it's because of the focus on Super, I hope I'm wrong, but we'll see. Only 3 months to go!
Despite all the DBZ games that have come out over the years, BT1 has the most badass and authentic Intro of all of DBZ games of the Franchise. BT2 and BT3 in my opinion still remains the most Unique and the best DBZ games in terms of content, quality and fanservices. And from the gameplay perspective aspects, these DBZ games that I mentioned are very close to the anime itself because of the Vibe and Charm, I don't know how to describe it but it was, and still is the most Unique DBZ experience you could have with the combat factor. (- Sheer amount de of characters
- Transformations mid-battle (powering up and down)
- Fusions mid-battle
- Fast gameplay that has that "woah" feel
- Tons of extra content
- Story mode covering all sagas + movies
- What If sagas
- Shenron having permanent impact on game (character unlocks and whatnot)
- Great tournaments that rotate availability
- Edit characters with items (buffs)
- 5v5 battles
- Really Great and Epic Soundtracks
- Destroyable environments
- Entire stages could be blown up into their "destroyed" alternatives
- Mission 100 being a great challenge
- Artwork is 10/10
- Sound effects are great
- Combat feels heavy and satisfying) Only Budokai 3, Infinite World and the Raging Blast 1 and 2 and all of PSP DBZ games except of Dragon Ball Z Evolution are still considered also very solid DBZ games, also the hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective.
A very mid game compared to bt3
and yet it's probably the second coming of Christ if you compare it to xenoverse and dragon ball breakers
The last game to look good with those cel shaded visuals for a while with the take over of the ugly plastic look
I whooped so much ass online with this game …..
