I don't really understand why people think Dragon Ball original is that much better. A lot of characters become irrelevant, but a lot of new (arguably better) characters arrive. I also don't understand why people think the early part of the series is more about martial arts than Z.

The fights are over the top, and simple, just like Z's. I for one don't think either part is outright better than the other. Saying that Z is just about screaming and transformations is extremely disingenuous.

Just think about it. Tien Shinhan was the second strongest character next to Goku, and he couldn't even defeat the henchman guarding Piccolo Daimao, let alone actually stand a chance against Piccolo.

Then in the final fight with Piccolo Jr all the humans were considering teaming up against Piccolo. It was stated that all of them together wouldn't even stand a chance against Piccolo, and that includes Roshi and Tien, who were once on par with Goku.

Roshi and Tien gave Goku some trouble during the world tournaments, and Yamcha defeated a starving Goku. However, when it comes to actually fighting villains, the humans were practically worthless unless they were fighting other humans.

Don’t get me wrong, I played the Tenkaichi series religiously as a kid yet I’m not excited about Sparking Zero. The game looks gorgeous but I fear the gameplay will just become repetitive. Dbz Kakarot was an awesome game with an incredible story mode, but the gameplay was became super boring for me. I just don’t see Sparking Zero’s story mode being that much better than Kakarot’s story mode.

I love how amazing the graphics look for Sparking Zero, but I just can’t bring myself to get excited for it. A friend of mine preordered it so maybe I’ll play a few matches with him to see if… oh yeah… that’s not possible anymore.

I noticed something that seemed weird, but if the reason is what I think it is, it's actually awesome.

So the manga has Vegetto in Goku's gi with inverted colors. White sash and white under shirt. Black pants and shirt.

But in color, his sash is blue!

It might be this way to make the upper layer of his outfit to look more like Vegeta's (continuous blue, from sleeveless to pants). And they still made the sash a lighter blue, probably for it to still be visible. That's so awesome.

I was thinking abt atleast getting the history of trunks dlc , since that’s my favorite dbz movie/tv special . But are any of the other ones any good ? Cause I’m also thinking abt getting another one (haven’t seen any video or review for them ) but don’t wanna waste money in case their mid or trash

Goku learned instant transmission which gave him a significant advantage in a few of the fights throughout the series and definitely gives him an edge over Vegita. However if Vegita were to go to hit and learn time skip, do you think that would even the playing field or would it not be enough to close the gap?

PS - this would be pre-black freeze, but post ToP
