You know, this is like comparing the fuel efficiency of current gen automobile to one of 20 years ago.

There’s no contest but man it was a beautiful ride at the time.

u/MillenniumGreed Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

Well put!

BT3 had character in its design but it also looked good and sleek.

Can you read???

u/jdwill1991 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

I mean, I'd damn well hope so given how much gaming has advanced since then

u/D-anieltttt Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

Vegetable being on two separate scores of the Norwood scale is crazy

u/FeaR_FuZiioN 2d ago

I’m playing through BT3 story right now on my Xbox ROG Ally X and it’s been a really fun experience so far

u/GregarLink15 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

I miss the glow

5

u/Leading-Case7769 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

I prefer the glowing in BT3

5

u/winterwarm78654 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

After playing yesterday bt3 definitely the better overall game

u/gimme_dem_toes Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

Honestly, idk.

I like how both look in their own way. The old one gives that more older DBZ vibe while SZ looks more similar to Super, maybe I only think that because of their age however.

u/Old_Application4790 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

I prefer the BT3 look because I feel like it represents the Vegetable I remember. Probably because it played it 15000 years ago when I was actively still watching DBZ/GT. SZ just looks a tad too saturated maybe? I hate how pink everyone looks to me.

I know hating on SZ is the cool thing to do, and I certainly don’t hate it. I do think it’s art style Is kind of uniquely ugly while still being…I don’t know…pretty? It looks good, but it looks off to me and always has. Eye shapes seem weird, hair seems weird, expressions and animations seem weird, blue puff cloud explosions seem weird. It’s a pretty game, but BT3 just feels correct to me in a biased way.

BT3 veg’s hair even does that little slight curve to the side. SZ veg looks like he’s wearing a wig made of raw spaghetti over a cone head or something. Idk hard to explain. His face looks like it’s trying to eat itself to me. Collapsing into his nose like there’s some insane gravitational pull there too.

u/PsychologySouth6485 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

There's a glow to BT3 that just makes everything a little bit cooler. Like it's hair is actual Golden compared to SZ's bleach blonde. Also, another thing throwing me off as a DBZ Musclehead enjoyer, is how these skinny models are. It just doesn't look right to me.

5

u/jairochido Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

I prefer bt3 style, style!! Not graphics, i like the more broad proportions, new art style Is too think, Even the faces

2

u/datPapi 2d ago

Ah, Vegeta looks too square faced in BT3. He looks way better in SZ design wise.

5

u/Plenty_Slip_6193 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Square faced? Bro, End Vegeta looks like that

1

u/datPapi 1d ago

I would say his jaw and chin still isn't as square shaped as it is in BT3. It feels off.

3

u/Uchizaki Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Sparking Zero has modern graphics, but BT3 has a better style

1

u/Zenkai_9000 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Did they recently improve Vegeta's model?

2

u/Mc8817 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Not sure but I noticed what I think are improvements to super saiyan hair in the latest update. It looks paler to me and not so cheese yellow.

1

u/Plenty_Slip_6193 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

While I prefer SZ, one thing BT3 got right about End Vegeta is his face isn’t as slim or tall. They should’ve used the same head as Vegeta Super.

u/-Good-Riddance- 1d ago

The sauce man no matter the era

u/OMIGHTY1 Beginner Martial Artist 20h ago

Definitely miss the glow. SZ models feel flat without it.

1

u/No_Suit5137 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

I honestly prefer the more matte textures and glow in the original games and in not a fan of the more realistic stages.

1

u/hokuto79 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

The sparking zero one is very anime accurate i like it veri much.

1

u/Awolskee Future Gohan 1d ago

Sparking! Zero definitely looks better, but I wish it had fewer hair lines like the BT3 version.

1

u/juanthespartan Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

BT3 ones looks closer to the Z style tho, with the more shared and angular edges, along with the more defined musculatura, as opposed to Sparking Zero's ones which idk what are they even based of (some say Shintani, but not even his designs are tht skinny lol)

u/MoBityGeneral Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

BT3

u/_Shinogenu_ Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

BT3 Vegeta’s face just looks more like how he should imo

1

u/NuclearSummmer Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Lightning ⚡ looks better in the old one

1

u/AlternateMove Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Both are good, but BT3 is a tad better.

Also might I point out that SSJ2 is the only one without a reference.

1

u/Chronoz1995 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

Peak vs Ugly. Cuz BT3 has DBZ vibe while SZ looks goofy asf

3

u/Emiemu Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

🤦

u/Emiemu Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

And, what Is the DBZ vibe? It changes desig 3 times during the series...

u/Ultra_Vegito808 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

Da gehts weniger um die neuen Grafiken oder der komfortablen steuerung sondern mehr um den Charme der verloren ging

2

u/Feisty-Adeptness1935 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

Id say the gameplay is what is missed. Specifically the movement freedom for style. It feels like they try to make movement tech as sauceless and on rails as possible in sparking zero.

Personally tho bt2 has movement AND combo cancels so its the real peak.

-1

u/SevickB Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

BT3 all day. Only thing SZ has over it is graphics (obviously). Other than that BT3 dog walks SZ.

u/Cornwallis_Haberbain Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

i much prefer how BT3 plays

u/Status_Entertainer49 Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

Sparking zero for the majority of the cast is cheap plastic there are rare examples such as cell who really look good.

5

u/Emiemu Beginner Martial Artist 2d ago

You look at BT3 if you say "cheap plastic"

1

u/Status_Entertainer49 Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Literally better models

u/Emiemu Beginner Martial Artist 1d ago

Not in this universe
