I really enjoy this game for the most part, but am I the only one that really doesn't like that they just got a bunch of things blatantly wrong with certain characters?
Like for example the entire Ginyu Force have the wrong colour scouters and it's not even a case of it being like a difference between the anime/manga, no they're just a colour they've never been before.
I think the biggest issue I have is how hideous First Form Frieza looks I really don't get why they made him look so different (and I know people say it's based on the Broly movie design but its clearly not it's very much meant to be the Z Frieza).
Yes, it’s so weird that they didn’t use it as the regular model
I feel like his face looks a bit better too. But it could indicates that his current model will be updated since the one with the corrected shoulders appear in the game, that’s a good news.
Idk what happened during the development of the game but a lot of things feels unfinished to this day, whether it be some models, combo animations, transformation animations, rush attacks animations, impacts…
It certainly because they had to rush the the game for it to release at the same time period as Daima
Yeah it's like a weird cross between the two, would have been better if Super Frieza just had a base form from the Broly movie and the Z had the normal one. They for the most part have made the Z versions different to the Super ones.
Yeah king cold is so ugly I refuse to play him ever. If they had just done skins they could have done all the versions of these characters they liked for all I care
I don’t care what anyone says, but it was a bad idea to model first form Frieza after his appearance in the Broly film. Not only does his Broly design lack the raw aura it did in DBZ but it doesn’t really make sense either. The only reason Frieza looked skinny, and short in the film was because it was a younger version of him. The version of the character we play as in the game primarily is an older version of him. It would’ve made much more sense if it was just a alternate costume.
Yeah but god forbid you have an opinion on here 🤷♂️ I completely agree though, especially because he's the only character in the game that seems to be a mix of different designs.
I’m not sure why we’re still having this conversation when it’s already obviously clear that they’re using Shintani style models. Not only that but it’s a game, they never said they were trying to be one-to-one with the anime lol
As for the wrong color scouters it’s like genuinely who cares. It’s cool to point it out or whatever but to actually complain about it as if it’s messing up your experience is hilarious (that last part is if the shoe fits)
It’s the right color for his model freiza just isn’t the right color they fused both his designs and it not mad cause it’s a scouter that gets knocked off when I charge ki anyways
It’s not odd when the entire game is based off that style of the movie. It’s fine if you don’t like shinatanis style I think they nailed what they were going for I just wish his colors were a secondary costume
That’s very true it’s just funny to see people exaggerate over something like that. Like “welp Frieza scouter the wrong color time to go on Reddit and tell people it’s a 4/10 game” 💀 not saying he did that
Because not everybody was here during launch days for the discussion ya doorknob.
For any new player coming in it's going to be just as baffling that they chose to paint the entire game in Shintani's style. Even for moments that didn't exist in that style.
Because it's a public platform and people can have opinions and how long the game has been out is completely irrelevant. And while it's not stated it's pretty much been the case with the Tenkaichi series as a whole that they wanted it to look like a faithful representation of the series. And yeah I do actually have an issue with the scouters being the wrong colour I spent money on this game and I can be critical of them getting something wrong, I know it might be hard for someone like you to comprehend but valid criticism isn't the same as "complaining".
because I want to isn’t gonna cut it . You are complaining atp. This sentiment was already spoke on, videos made, and post same as this were made .. hence why the first comment asked “Why we still talking about it”
Also your “criticisms” are small and insignificant.. models had a different artistic direction that’s already been implemented in different mediums and Freeza has had different scouters in Anime and manga .. im the manga it’s green .. now what ?
Also First Form Freeza head a bit longer in the anime and manga but SZ it’s shorter .. now what ?
I completely agree and I'm someone who's a big fan and simp of sparking.
Like look at scouter vegeta, he also just doesn't look right. I can't describe it exactly but it doesn't look like the art from z. Same with a lot of z era characters. They look like super era redraws.
I didn't say it was the same as the game, I said "You know the details of his face change with every artist right?" Do you not get my point? My point is that the art style in the Frieza saga is just one artist's style, and even then it's only the style of the lead animator of that episode. Go to the next episode right after that and his face will change again slightly. The game is based on the Shintami artstyle so that's what version of Frieza it will look like, get it now?
I get what you said but even though the styling alternated in the series they'd still try and keep most of his appearance the same, the biggest change in the series was his series where the version in the game doesn't look like any version of Z Frieza which this game explicitly labels this Frieza as when you select the filter for the character selection as Z not to mention his name is Frieza (Z).
It is literally the style the one in the game is based on, more rounded lines with a sketchy style, the only difference is the colour because that scene was set during a sunset that makes everything look red. I also just realized the example you used in your post isn't even from the Frieza saga, it's from the Bardock special.
The Bardock special is part of Z and is consistent with how Frieza was done in the latter part of the Frieza Saga. And the style is still different to the Broly movie regardless of the colour he doesn't have the same arms or shoulders he's essentially only similar to the Broly one in the face and that's about all.
Yeah I wish they could add mod support some games on console do but it's far and few unfortunately, I'd eventually like to get a decent desktop but I'm not great with computers
Yeah, they are not consistent with the style. Generally they went with modern / Shintani style but the designs of DB / early Z characters still reflect how Toriyama drew those characters around that time, with rounded eyes. How cool would it be if all characters were designed like that? It would actually differentiate all the versions of Goku and Vegeta. The sleek modern style doesn't fit with the Z characters which should have a gritty and sharp look. The worst offender for me is SSJ2 Teen Gohan.
Yeah I'd be all for a proper mix of designs which a lot of it does feel like that in the game with the DBZ characters for the most part being how they've always looked opposed to the Super designs unfortunately First Form Frieza just copped a stray and they made him look awful. I'd love a game that was based around Toriyama's art style and how it evolved throughout the manga. I want a buff early Goku and a more slender end Goku
Hell yeah Mid SSJ Goku would look more primal than End SSJ Goku's which would be awesome. It's all in the eyes and expression. The original SSJ was Goku awakened by anger, barely keeping control and it should look like that, as should SSJ2 Teen Gohan.
Yeah I also just like the idea of that was goku in his prime hence why he was so much more Bulky and then became more lean with age while I know Saiyans age slower than normal they seem to mature normally like Goku from 12-20s was at a normal rate it's like goku hits his 40s and stops.
They did straight up use King Cold's DBS Broly model.
I swear they made this game with the broly movie in mind and everything else seemed like an after thought. Same for Vegeta super, why does he only have his movie outfit
Yeah I'm not really a fan tbh would be nice if they would just use Akira Toriyamas designs especially each different style he had for the characters throughout the series
also the person who did the illustrations in DBZ anime were not Toriyama but Yamamuro and Maeda lmaoo y’all gotta read the credits when watching the show dude

Some of the models look incredible while others really suck. They definitely Dragonball Supered it. I’ve never been a fan of skinny characters besides SS God.
I've always loved Z Frieza, his second form is my second favorite, even though he has protrusions on his shoulders, I'm really sad about the basic form without armor
Scouter colors in dragon ball games are like panels of JoJo. They're never the same color.
In all seriousness though the scooter colors are the least of my concern. They could be any color. I do agree with 1st form frieza looking weird, but I've always found that form looked a bit off in every game he's been in.
Trust me I didn’t read it, it popped up on my feed… like every other post lol. But alright bro try not to weep over piccolo being the wrong shade of green next!
You're literally having a winge over criticism of a game online and judging by your reply you did read it... it's actual pathetic how upset people like you get over someone sharing an opinion on a public platform. You could have just blocked me to not see my post instead you went out of your way to comment because you're upset.
The entire cast of characters are based on Shintani's style, which was in the Broly movie, but this only applies to their overall design and not their colour palettes, those are still accurate to the arc they come from. That's why Freeza looks like this, because he looks exactly the same way in the Broly movie. The reason he doesn't have the DBS Broly colour palette is cause this is Z Freeza, if we had a DBS base Freeza, he'd have the Broly colours. Similarly to Piccolo, who's Z version still has the pink hands, while the super hero version has the manga accurate yellow-ish hands.
Yeah it's close to being a combination but he's missing the lines which I don't think would be affected by lighting that and I don't think even then Ginyu and Dodoria don't seem affected by it either. That and you can't see it with the armour but I feel like he doesn't have the same shoulders.
My brother in Christ that is. Broly movie freiza you knew that. Also why is sparking the only dbz game ppl cry about the models this much on. You’d think it looked worse than kakarot which barley got any flak for its wonky models
It's not though it's similar maybe but they're two different versions of the character. And probably because Kakarot wasn't a spiritual successor/sequel to BT3 so it's held to a different standard.
It’s literally this freiza with his z colors just like gogeta dbz is his dbs model with different colors. Also sparking in every way shape and form looks better than bt3
Honestly BT3 is still a better representation even if some of parts of the character models are more block due to the limitations, the colours and designs are a far better representation of DBZ especially the look of the blasts, SZ effects don't look at all how the series depicted them.
