10 Simple Ways To Make The Perfect Dragon Ball Z Game

6. Simple & Intuitive Fighting System

Super Smash Bros is considered one of the greatest fighting games of all time, and that is for one reason: it is brilliantly simple. Despite lacking any complex combos, it never stops being fun, and that€™s because of its ability to keep things simple whilst always rewarding skill. So what does Super Smash Bros. have to do with Dragon Ball? Well, it may not seem it at first glance, but Super Smash Bros. is actually a fairly good point of reference for how to make a proper Dragon Ball game. It has an enormous cast of characters, a wide variety of customization options, and most important of all, is incredibly fast-paced and simple to play. A Dragon Ball fighting game would benefit immensely from this same design. Strip it down to the very basics and focus on hyper fast offensive and defensive attacks that pack a punch. Every character should have their own unique variation of kicks, punches, throws, and energy blasts, all of which can be used in rapid succession, while more powerful attacks can be accessed once you gather enough energy. Honestly, with tight, precise, and easy to learn controls, that€™s all that€™s needed. As long as the fights are fast and feel powerful, the spirit of Dragon Ball will be captured in its purest form as an intense and fiercely competitive fighting game.
