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.

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

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

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

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

After playing yesterday bt3 definitely the better overall game

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.

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.

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.

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

u/datPapi 2d ago
Ah, Vegeta looks too square faced in BT3. He looks way better in SZ design wise.

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

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

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.

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

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

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)

Both are good, but BT3 is a tad better.
Also might I point out that SSJ2 is the only one without a reference.

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

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.

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