Is it better? But be warned: once you play the Super Deluxe Mod, you can never go back to vanilla. The roster feels empty. The speed feels slow. The graphics look flat.

It wouldn’t be an honest review without admitting that the Super Deluxe Mod isn’t perfect.

In the pantheon of anime fighting games, few titles command the reverence and nostalgia of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (known in Japan as Sparking! Meteor ). Released in 2007 for the PlayStation 2 and Wii, it remains the gold standard for 3D arena fighters. Its hyper-fast combat, massive roster of over 160 characters, and near-perfect simulation of the anime’s power clashes have kept it alive for nearly two decades.
