Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden 3 is that classic SNES fighter where Goku and the gang actually feel like they’re throwing down with proper speed and energy. The sprites are big, the Kamehamehas look legit, and landing a super feels satisfying—none of that stiff, clunky fighting you sometimes get in older DBZ games.
You’ve got all the usual suspects: Vegeta, Piccolo, even Trunks with his sword. The controls are simple enough to mash buttons and have fun, but there’s some depth if you dig into the combos. I remember spending way too long trying to nail Gohan’s Masenko just right.
It’s not perfect—some characters feel way stronger than others—but for a 16-bit DBZ brawler, it still holds up. If you’re into retro fighters, this one’s a solid time capsule.
