    Use code KADAZEE50 to get 50% OFF your first Factor box plus 20% off your next month of orders at bit.ly/3z0YSqi! Today we seek to answer the age-old question! Is Goku(Mid) actually mid?🤔
  • @warhawk059377
    Thanks for having me for the project. I hope everyone enjoys! I'll try to check here frequently if anyone has any questions.

    44:03 "His grab attacks have some solid reach." Buu: *takes goku's brain*
  • 27:20 There’s a fact about Babidi in Dbz bt3, if you do babidi’s ultimate it will do anywhere from 10-13k damage. But if you do if a grab then do his ultimate the damage increases. You can keep stacking it over and over again until babidi’s ultimate becomes one shot. The same thing will happen if you pick spopovich,do his ult then switch to babidi mid match then do his ult.

    KaDazee is gonna have a lot of work when sparking zero releases
  • @daafusionman
    my man here is preparing us to what we will see on sparking zero .
  • Unrelated to video but potential detail for a future video. In dbfz, all the numbered androids(meaning all but cell) have at least 1 super/ultimate, which has the number of hits equal to their number
  • @anonluxor470
    I wonder if you noticed or not but when piccolo (Early) dose his rush attack he grabbed the opponent and for some reason it dose damage
  • @HiImAiden
    Love that you spent the first 20 minutes explaining all the mechanics in the game so we understand why each character is good or bad. Not a lot of tier lists for old games do that.
  • Love your consistent content for the PS2 titles nowadays, but I have to be honest, the "all characters play the same" segment really only CONFIRMS that notion to the people that actually make that statement, traditional FG players. Yeah the characters have to do different strings for the different enders, and some have unique variations like the power press, but the actual play STYLE and win conditions for all the fighters remains the same; trying to flank and do higher combo damage from the back. It means all the characters are designed with that in mind, and the only thing FUNCTIONALLY differentiating them is how well they can do the most important actions e.g. dash speed, if they have a RRC, if they have a GOOD RRC, if they can get good setups for the -1 bug, or if they can have a cheesy move like Barrage Death Beam or Super Explosive Madan. So the characters do end up being a lot more homogeneous than those in traditional FGs. Which isn't to say that the game isn't fun, there's a reason Sparking Zero is hyped beyond heaven, but there is definite truth to the statement, and it greatly affects the competitive gameplay imo.
  • Great video! I've dabbled in the competitive community of BT3 and it's a great that this kind of knowledge is being spread! It really is surprising at times how few people know about so many of the vital things to the game, but I'm all for having these resources be in an easy to digest format that's fun to watch. Good stuff 👍 Also: I'd like to mention the fact that another reason why blaster wave is so good is because it builds a lot of ki upon succesfully hitting, which pairs well with characters like cell with strong 2 bar blasts 2s and is part of the reason why that particular -1 set-up paige showed off in cells segment is so good. As well as that, despite the lack of flight being a downside for arale, it also allows her some really interesting flanks using the drop down that flightless characters have and her dash attack, allowing her to easily and more importantly, quickly flank at close range

    9:37 "i was rotating my stick for fun" bro we don't want to know that💀
  • Love the video ! Glad to see you're not limiting yourself to secrets and trivia ! It really shows your love for Dragon Ball and the games that you are willing to do such a deep dive into the competitive scene. I love that you are putting the players and their skills in the forefront. Thank you for all your work
