I don't care who you are dragonball-dragonball GT are the best fighting series in the universe. And that is the truth.

[Eugine]

Nope its not. Soul Caliber PAWNS Dragonball anytime!

I only played the bodakai (sp?) series though.

[Golden Djinn13]

Soul Caliber isn't the greatest, but it is much better than Budokai. ( thats the truth.)

[Mars Djinni]

I tend to think Fighting Games based on TV shows are rather limiting considering if it were to have a storyline, it could only be limited to segments of the story. The latest dragonball Z fighting game doesn't even cover the full storyline and stops 3/4 of the way. Go with Soul Calibur.

[Golden Djinn13]

You mean Pokemons the greatest show on earth? Is it April Fools already?

And I agree Mars Djinn, Games based on shows are very limited to certain parts of the show ( for DBZ, its mostly the first few sagas).

[Kwesi]

I made the mistake puting DBZ is the best fighting series but i actually meant it as a show. I was going to put down DBZ is the best fighting show in the universe but it falls far from family guy. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!

But DragonBall Z budokai 3 is actually a very good game. I have never played the soul caliber series but it looks very good.

[lifeform287]

I'm walking away very slowly. Anyone who thinks DBZ is the best fighting show is NOT a friend of mine.

[el_Sethro]

family guy is a fighting show? :)

anyway, from what I've seen of DBZ, the show generally consists of two big muscular guys standing, glaring at each other while panting for about ten minutes. then one of them is like "I will destroy you like a little speck" and the other is like "no, it is I who will destroy you"
and then they start yelling and glowing for a few seconds, and then they jump at each other and punch and kick wildly for a while before spriniging apart to repeat the cycle again... and again... and again...

[Golden Djinn13]

Thats why I get tired of watching the show sometimes. They should just fight without stoping to talk about something thats pointless.

[Kwesi]

Thats why i love the show.

[Eugine]

Oh. They only have the Spanish version here, so I don't watch it... I would of though, since it's hyped up in school.

Since we are talking about the show and not the game, I'm moving this to the entertainment forum.

[Kwesi]

Spanish version? where do you live¿

[Eugine]

The caribbean, although I get alot of channels from different places. Mostly American.

I only watched a few spanish episodes, the action was nice IMO, but the story wasn't (after all I couldn't undertand it)

[Kwesi]

Oh cool, do you have satellite. And i would probably understand like 5 words of spanish cause i take it in high schoollllllllll and i have taken it in middle school.

[Golden Djinn13]

The story is okay, but not the greatest ( in some sagas).

That is true but overalll in my opinion DBZ is a great show.

[Golden Legacy]

I actually enjoyed the DBZ plotline, especially during the Trunks/Android sage. Lots of good moments there.

Of course, in general, the DBZ battles tend to be drawn out. Entire episodes are spent just preparing for battle. But when they take off, they are definitely some cool moments to remember.

[Neo]

Heh, that's what I call a major bump, Riad ^^.

DBZ has it's moments, but overall it's not that special. Like you said, they first spend like ten episodes talking and talking and then a few eps fighting. There is too much talking during DBZ. Not that realistic. In the middle of a fight they start a conversation which lasts kind of forever, whilst they do not attack eachother. Another thing I find rather annoying in DBZ is that while two people are fighting, the rest of his friends are just standing by it and watching how their pal get's killed without doing anything themselves.

[Platinum Sun]

I'd like to tell you what I think of DBZ, but words are so combersome. I think I'll use the purest form of communication known to man, a Flash Movie!

Well, I've been trying to breathe some life into the forums. There are plenty of great topics out there, but they're "lost", so to speak. Worth a shot, eh? ;)

That said, like you said, characters will often stop and talk during the middle of fights. Often times, this is done to shed some light on a character, which I'll admit can be pretty interesting. You come to accept, for example, Vegeta's incredible pride, Goku's nobility/chivalry, Piccolo's hardcore demeanor, etc.

It gives the characters a bit of the human aspect, as opposed to being raging fighting lunatics.

(Though I'll admit, it can be pretty hard to see that).

[Kwesi]

Yeah that is on eof the big problems of the show, it takes them forever to fight. They prepare for about 6 episodes and then they fight for like 3. But the fight scenes are great. I didn't really like GT that much it was more focused on the comedy aspect of the show instead of the fighting.

[pHantOm]

I used to love DBZ, then DBZ GT came around it was so bad it made DBZ look bad lol.

As DBZ made DB look bad.

[Shikonaurum]

I don't know about you, but I liked DB for what I saw of it. More comedy, for what it's worth.

[Omni-HaSu]

:P ya dbz is a great show it kinda went downhill after the cell saga though.. as for GT.. it was alright but a dissapointment compared to db,z
