#99. Dragon Ball FighterZ (PS4, 2018)

This will become a bit of a trend on my list, so let's get it out of the way now: I really like fighting games. Like a lot of others, I've entered tournaments for Dragon Ball FighterZ. I've put some time into it, and found some very enjoyable things, but also some things to be critical of (I am critical out of love though, just reasons why this may not be as high as other fighting games).

The level to which this game captures the feel of the anime is so good. The action is fast and supers feel devastating. Visually, DBFZ is so high up there. There are multiple characters that I find a lot of fun to play. And the tournaments can get super hype, a metric that probably matters a lot more to me than others,

However, fighting games with assists have always been a struggle for me. It's an issue for me in the Marvel vs Capcom games as well. I just become stupid once a game has assists involved. The netplay is also pretty bad, something that became a more glaring problem in 2020, when both local and major in-person events stopped. The roster also ended up with a lot of Goku variations for some reason? And I mean a lot of Gokus. I don't need to play as any of them, but it does seem kind of strange that someone playing three unique Gokus can fight against someone using three different unique Gokus.
