Is it 5? I thought it was the 3 Super Butoden games and then Hyper Dimension?

I prefered Super Butoden 2. It had this amazing roster of varied fighters, distance attacks (split screens for beams/projectiles), lots of hand drawn looking arenas, tournaments, single and 2p modes, story mode, quick combat with random(or not choice of fighters/area.) Also had a code to unlock Goku and Brolly easily done on the opening fly in intro. They recently gave that game away free in the US as a download on 3DS if you bought their new DBZ fighting game. I almost did it, kind of wish I did, but I probably would have ended up playing the old one more than the new.

Now that these are mentioned do you know if a "complete" English translated patch exists for Dragon Ball Z: Chou Gokuuden Kakusei Hen? I found an incomplete one, a finished one already exists for Totsugeki Hen.

Yeah 4 fighting games, 2 action-ish RPG-ish games.

one thing i didnt like with this game though is that how much the sound,voices and music became terrible compared to the super butoden games. like a huge step back. the music for the previous ones were actually memorable and the voices doesnt sound like theyre talking with something covering their mouths

graphics are great though. game mechanics , is a 5050 for me.

Thanks for the heads up! Ive not played the Butoden series so I won't notice the sounds differences anyway. Basically I'm just looking for a fighting game that's easy to pick up and learn, not a huge fighting game connoisseur in the first place.

Emulated I've played all 4 of them and settled on Super Butoden 2 when I owned SFC carts. It has Street Fighter 2 combat mechanics along with the distance shots, sky and underwater combat too. The voices are clear and clean sound like the Japanese anime. As he said above you, Hyper Dimension has graphics going for it, but the gameplay and audio isn't as nice, but I'd put it above the other Super Butoden games. SB1 is just undeveloped, bare bones, few fighters and just rough. SB3 is more or less a clone of SB2 with a mode or two less but they killed the roster and turned it mostly into the Goku/Vegeta family battle fest as the variety is shot so it's boring.

Go for it, you won't regret it. Story mode if you don't know Japanese is kind of a wash otehr than playing stuff in a certain order, but do remember to use the Goku/Brolly code so you really have a wicked roster for 1P vs CPU mode.
