Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden on SNES is that classic 90s DBZ fighting game where you can finally settle playground arguments about who'd win between Goku and Vegeta. The sprites are chunky but full of personality—when you fire off a Kamehameha, the screen shakes like you actually just blasted a hole through a mountain.
It's not as technical as later fighters, but there's something satisfying about how simple it is to pull off those big, flashy moves. Pick Vegeta, mash some buttons, and suddenly you're doing that ridiculous rapid-punch flurry from the anime. The music's all synth-rock guitar riffs that somehow make every match feel like a life-or-death tournament.
Honestly, half the fun is seeing how they translated the show's insanity into 16-bit form. Piccolo's stretchy arms still look weird, and Frieza's death ball takes up like a third of the screen. It's janky in that way only 90s anime games can be, but that's part of the charm.
