^ What he said, KV. The Budokai series is basically a bog-standard fighting game but with DBZ models. Tenkaichi actually feels like DBZ. It's behind the shoulder, and you spend most of the time in the air, flying around at omg high speeds teleporting behind people etc etc. It's actually fully 3d. You can also hide behind objects, since if your opponent can't see you on-screen, you can't get a lock on them (well, for Scouter characters anyway >_>). It's a little like Zelda's Z-Targeting system.

Personally, I disagree. DBZ was always about making a bang. Tenkaichi fails to capture this for the most part while Budokai does it well.

Let`s take Vegeta`s Final Flash for example. In Tenkaichi, its shown as a relativly regular energy attack. Nothing really special. But in Budokai (at least 3), when Vegeta executes it he does it as if he was about to unleash apocalypse itself! Seeing that most energy attacks in DBZ were executed in this fashion, I belive Budokai holds more true to the nature of DBZ then Tenkaichi.

Yes, it was flashier and looked bigger... but really. That was just the cut scene type of thing, while in Tenkaichi it holds true to DBZ that everything is fast. You can't just stop to charge your energy for a few minutes, because you'll get your ass kicked. Plus when big attacks hit, the screen went white and it did a shit load of damage, so what if it wasn't the biggest thing. I thought it was pretty shweet.


Anyway on a side note. I played Tenkaichi I for about six hours, and hour of that was trying to be Oozaru Vegeta (note: I had only been playing for about 1 1/2hours at that point, so I wasn't very good) and he was hella hard. So, I went and lost my dignity and checked a Walkthrough to see how to beat him... it told me exactly what I had already thought up, but dragon dashing into the air, much like Kibbles said. So, I did that and beat him... but what I really wanted to say was. Has anyone ever used Kaioken Attack on an Oozaru x3
EDIT: I've attempted twice to hit a Kaioken Attack on an Oozaru, but they always swat me away xD
