 If playing through Dragon Ball Z, Budokai Tenkai G2 again has reminded me of anything, it's that old school Dragon Ball games can be extremely brutal. I mean, already throughout my playtime, I've had several fights take me over an hour to complete. And now in this video, I'm heading towards the end of the Saiyan saga, and I'm already worried about what Grade 8 Vegeta is going to put me through. So now it's time to finally pick up where we left off and finish off the Saiyan saga, finally playing as Goku again, it feels like it's been a long time. Yep, this is pretty much what I left off on. Gohan and Krillin are struggling. At last, Goku arrives on the battlefield where his friends have waged their desperate struggle. Oh, he ain't even got anything to say! So you finally showed up! Yeah, I made it. Dad! What's with that look on your face? I don't like it. I guess I'm just gonna have to kill you. I hope they don't even let me play as Goku versus Nappa. I wanted to just be Nappa getting obliterated in a cutscene. Oh, I do gotta go ahead and do it myself. Well, let me check what my Goku build was. I haven't played as this guy in a while. You know what? Pretty good. His attack is probably pretty high. Damn, look at how bald he looks from back here. I mean, I know he's actually bald, but he didn't even have eyes. Bro, hold on. It's been a little while since I played. He broke my stamina already. This isn't supposed to be this hard. Okay, okay. Damn, he actually hit my route. All right, step up. See if I can't remember the route, the OP route. Okay. All right, I'm starting to get worried that maybe the AI have caught on to my games. Nah, I don't think they have. Step up. Hold on, Nappa. You know what? Let me, let me spoil something for Vegeta. Give me energy. Yeah. Oh, the story mode might follow the story of Z, but I'm making up my own route, Nappa. I think you're going to go ahead and catch the spear bomb real quick. All right, maybe not. Oh, God. All right, I'm going to run. I'm running. That's the Key Blast. Nappa with the Key Blast, man. Counter. I'm not, I'm not attacking, bro. I'm not a, yeah, come here. Yeah, you were talking all that good stuff. Sweet. Oh, mixups. Uh, mixups hardly ever work anymore. On Piccolo, my mixups were always, always working. Combos. All right, nice counter. I'll give it up. Anyway, Nappa, like I would say, you had something to say. Ah, hey, hey, relax. Grabs, bro. 4k. Grabs in this game do a lot of damage. But, uh, yeah, something tells me Nappa's not breaking this. He blinked it into his ultimate. Oh, who caused that explosion? I didn't know who caused that explosion. Was that me or Nappa? Oh my God, it was Nappa. And I'm going to die. I can't believe that he actually had an answer for the spirit bomb. Come on. All right, fine. Maybe I got to keep a cannon. Maybe that's the secret. Kaioken. How did that miss? How did that miss, Nappa? Kaioken attack. Kaioken, sorry. I forgot this was 2007. Kaioken. I'm not going to lie. This attack is a little lame in BT2. It's, it doesn't have the, the sweet run-up in it. Oh, damn. Bro, Nappa is kind of a beast. How did it, this is not how the Saiyan saga went, bro. Is he going to stay down there? All right, I got to, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, let's go. I refuse to lose. Oh, no. Let me get this dramatic finish real quick. How about that? Kaioken. Behind the back. Got him. Catch him. 8k damage right there. Boom. Trash. He's not dead. Now he is. Had to let that ki blast fly real quick. Why are we all staying? We're all standing over Vegeta like pathetic. Goku defeats Nappa in an instant and prepare it. Well, it was, it was actually quite the fight and prepares to face the Ruthless Saiyan Prince Vegeta. You guys have done enough. Just leave it to me now. Go back to Master Roshi's house. That I would actually take him up on that offer. I would leave so quick. So Kakarot, do you intend to fight? Yeah. 1v1. Oh, makes no difference to me. If BT2 actually shows the iconic pose. I mean, I, I've already said this is the best single player I've ever played, but that will be impressive. If they actually hit the pose now, I might regret all the skipping all these side battles. But uh, hey, what am I going to do? I'm just looking for dragon balls, man. I'm trying to summon Genron. What? Wait. Oh, no. Oh, I'm going to be late to the battle now. How did I show up in King Kai's planet? Oh, you've come to the right place. See if you got what it takes to pass my test. I don't want to know. I don't want to take your. All right. You know what? I will garlic junior. When am I ever going to get the chance to fight garlic junior in the story mode? I really did not mean to come out here and fight guard. Oh, he tried his damn. He actually crossed me up. Oh my God. I'll block that low. Hey, garlic junior, you really talking trash? But you are literally three foot five at best on a good day and you broke my guard again. You know, all right. You know what? Hey, you're right. You're right. I got to give you more respect. Blink that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Hopefully Vegeta is still waiting for me. I kind of ghosted him. So hopefully he goes easy on the earth. Mix ups mix ups. Oh, that would have been so sick. Oh, no, blink it, blink it, blink it. All right. Gigi's Gigi, give me off garlic junior, bro. I'm not trying to fight this guy all day. All right. With garlic junior defeated, that's all our little side quest. So I guess we're just heading straight to Vegeta the level we are. I guess I am saying that like, oh, they're actually hitting the pose or at least they got the height advantage Goku and Vegeta the epic battle to decide the fate of the earth is about to begin. No way you should be pleased. Oh, that's warrior like you seldom gets to play with an elite like me. This is just a full cut scene. All say it's are inspected for the combat skills at birth lore. This is actually so sick thrown out with the rest of the trash. Well, I don't think that's how it worked. But that's how I wound up coming to earth. Right. I should be grateful. Oh, besides with enough hard work, even a low class can surpass an elite. You're quite a comedian. Oh, the power that no amount of hard work can overcome. This is sick. Is this going to be hard? This game is crazy. BT to do in the back. Wait, wait, wait, we got an actual cut scene. Let's call busy sick. Wait, what? Dodge that weave. Oh my God, yo, that was actually cool. Interacting with the background like that. This is like a machinima. Damn. Oh, bounce back. Hold on. Oh, no. I should have played the story mode as a kid. What the? This is crazy. There's like a full A and B in here. Is this just going to go like right into gameplay after the class? Oh, oh, oh, oh. You look better when you beat Napa. Damn. This is like actually 10 times better than what I expected by the way. Dodge this show me. That was all good. That was all just for the A and B purpose. Seriously, and already I'm completely outclassed. Nah, if this is how all this. I want to see the Super Saiyan cut scene. Fine. I'll show you. Kaioken. Are we going to get Kaioken in a cut scene? Oh, well, it could have looked cooler. We could have recolored him red, but I'll take it. Dashing. All that good stuff a second ago, Vegeta. All right. Well, he still got it. That's really best than I'm more than disappointed. I knew I get to fight him, bro. This is actually a longer cut scene than I ever expected. Incredible. But you know, even though things look really bad, I'm still having the time of my life. That was a great cut scene, dude. We finally get to fight. Vegeta is a lower level than Napa. We finally made it to the Vegeta battle. The cut scene was more than worth it. Does he have like advanced stats or like what's going on here? Oh, we're actually clashing. No, we're even. Let's go. I mean, I feel like, see, when I get even battles like this, I feel bad for using the Z ups, but sometimes they just throw crazy stuff at me, bro. Yeah, hold that. Oh God. They have launcher. Okay, Vegeta. Okay. Okay, but hold on. Got him down to half health. Let me check my skill list real quick. Do we have Kaioken? We do for three blast stocks. I just wanted to make sure I wanted this to be as canon as possible when I win. Actually, bro, this is already a little embarrassing because I'm already there. Kaioken. I don't even know what all the buffs are, but, bro, I am feeling it. My key's going down though. Perpetually. How much damage can I do with one combo though? Wait, why? Let me do my combo, Vegeta. It's already over for you, bro. That was too easy. Kaioken level one. You couldn't even take that? Nah, I know that's not all Vegeta has to offer. Surely this is like a five stage fight. Never mind. We are arched. Damn. He's saying pride crushed. Vegeta is forced to resort to desperate measures. As much as I hate to do this, it seems like he's left me no choice but to transform. Oh, we got to take on the great ape now. Oh my God. He's just, he just, he just did it, bro. He right away. No artificial mood came out at all on screen anyway because using an artificial moon, Vegeta has transformed himself into a ferocious great ape. How do you like this, Kakarot? You're finished now. Yeah, you're doing all that talk with a swollen eye though. A great ape. A great ape monster. Why did he say it like that? This spirit bomb holds the hopes of everyone on this planet. I can finally lower accurate do this. He went down in level wide. Why are the Vegeta fights? He survived as long as I can. Bro, I'm not going to survive. I'm going to thrive. If they think I'm afraid of Vegeta, they got another thing coming. Come it. Wait, where's my comment? Yeah, block that. I have three bars. Come on. Am I ever going to get to play? Oh my God. I might not. I might not ever get to play. Woo. Oh, I'm gay. Vegeta, stop. Vegeta. Oh, the great ape is terrifying in this game. Dang. Nah, I got to fight back. I got to. There is no fighting back. He's gotten so much. He's spinning me around like I'm an action figure. Ah, three points of articulation. Give me your energy. I'm sorry, Vegeta. I'm sorry. Oh, I got to run. I have to last 80 more seconds. I am not winning this. Bros. It's over for me. Vegeta, stop. Vegeta, I understand. Okay. I understand. I got to hide. He got another ultimate. Vegeta, please. Vegeta, please. Spirit bomb. Oh my God. Wait. No. Please tell me I dodged that. I went to get the spirit bomb. That shouldn't have hit me. No, I wasted my spirit bomb. Vegeta. All right, bro. The Great Ape is actually kind of a kind of the real deal in this game. I'll give it up. Also, I used to think I was good at beam clashes and stuff, man. But ever since I started playing these old Dragon Ball games on the hardest difficulty, I have always been a fraud. He's he's still looking for. I'm just going to hide. This is how you actually beat the Great Ape mission in this game. You just. Oh, he's getting pissed out there. And cool camera control. Oh, oh my God. Was that him? Honestly, I'm just going to hide as long as possible. I think he's somewhere over there still. Where is he? Is he not over there? Oh, no. Where is he? How can I not find him, bro? He's a giant ape. Where is it? Oh, I'm getting free energy. This is cheap. Look at him. He's still lost. Oh, God, he's. Oh, this is survival horror game. Oh, God, look at him, bro. Ah, dude, this is like Dragon Ball. The breakers. This probably would give somebody the idea for breakers. Oh, he is so mad. Look at him. He is pissed. Oh, God, he's right on top of me. I got him. Hey, Vegeta, over here. Got him. I missed. I'm so sorry, Earth. How did he dodge me? Vegeta, I can explain. I can explain. Did he still not lock on? No, he did. He found me. All right, we're cooked. Come here. Oh, no. Oh, no. Vegeta, please don't hurt me. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just going to run. No, I ain't no loser, bro. I am not going to survive. I told the game that I was going to thrive. Uh-oh. Blink it, Goku. I really should just take this as a blessing. I was able to hide for so long. Wait, I ain't no loser. Give me more. No, I don't need energy. Damn. Please. Guy, again. Come here. Yeah, you can't blink it forever. I win. Time up. Yeah, you should have beat me. I was hiding for too long. Against Vegeta's overwhelming power, Goku's unable to defend himself. Yeah, I mean, kind of true. No, I'll crush you. Yajirobi, help me. Sensing Goku's distress, Gohan and the others race back to help. Oh, what? Gohan and the others return to the battlefield and to find Goku hanging on by a thread. Yajirobi. Why is he just standing there? It's a saiyan. A saiyan. Yeah, bro, thanks for finally showing up. I know. But if you cut his tail off, he'll turn back to normal. You say that like it's a good thing. It is, bro. We got to do this. Oh, no. We got to actually beat him. All right. Well, I guess we're leaving Yajirobi in the back and I'm not giving him any stats, but I do not care about him. There's no way this isn't Yajirobi's only battle in this. He has that much health. No, man. Yes, run into it. No, blink it, Krillin. I'm not 15K. The great April. He took my stamina. Thankfully, he's too tall, bro's elevated. He can't hit me. You can't hit what you get. He got me. How do you blink? How are you this fast as a monster, bro? Solar fl- He took both my blast stocks. I can't. I- I can't get out of this. Side step. Side step. I found the answer. We just have to side step him. Hopefully, if he gets close, I'll be able to solar flare. Solar flare! No, no. How did he see through it? I didn't get any damage off. I- Yeah, bro, we're cooked. Krillin- Krillin was my ace in the hole, bro. Yeah, man. I'm c- Masako! I hate this. I hate this guy, dude. He dodges f- It will hurt you, Gohan. It- It's gonna hurt. Oh, God, 9K! Masako- Oh, God. I can't win, bro. I can't win. Not on three-star difficulty. I'm sorry, Gohan. You're- Oh, Gohan. Oh, never mind. He's right there. I thought his body got disintegrated. Yajarobi cut his tail off. Is there a way to cut his tail off? Like, canonically, is that what I was supposed to do? Lead with Yajarobi? There's just no way. Uh-oh. Dodge it! Yeah. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. Come on. We just need to beat him. This time I led with Yajarobi just in case there's like an actual Easter egg where if you do damage as Yajarobi, you get to eat tail. That's how hopeless that last battle felt for me, by the way. Kaplan slicer. And yeah, there was no way to get his tail off. Side step. Yajarobi's dead. Okay. Well, I went with Gohan next because he has Masenko. So still a technical check. Okay. I gotta- I gotta put a wall between us to stop these ki blasts though. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you. You are such a- Masenko! 5k damage. That's good damage. Masenko! Full charge. And it missed. Well, I'm just going to charge up until he- There he is. Please. Don't miss! Ah, damn! Back step. Put your- Gohan, put some ki into it already. And there goes three bars of stamina. I'm cooked. It's actually over. So yeah, I'm not sure- I'm supposed to beat this one. I'm going to be honest. Krillin, you're literally the only hope. Because at least Krillin can make a dent in his armor when he doesn't- Let's go! Let's go! Combos! A great ape! Ah! And there goes my stamina again, Vegeta, please! This great ape fight is crazy. He'll hide. There's no hiding from him now. It's so over. Solar Flare is also the worst move in the game, bro. It takes eight years to go off. Damn! I died from that. Alright, I went back to my original order, but honestly, it's very important that he doesn't lock on right away. This is the only strategy I think I have. I just have to not lock on right away, and then I have to find him before he finds me. Okay. Krillin! He's the giant ape right in front of you! What do you mean you don't know where he is? Why were we looking around like- I can't believe it! Did you see Krillin look around like he was confused? Could he have made it more obvious, Krillin, who the enemy was? Dodge that, please. Oh, I'm- Oh, I was almost him, though! For one second, I was almost him! Oh, my God! I'm losing a whole bar of health for that. I Solar Flared him! Oh, my God, that was so clutch! Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide! Yes! That was so clutch! Vegeta! I'm coming for that tail, buddy! Destruct the disc! Get that tail, Krillin! I was slightly out of range and most of them despawn. Oh, yes! Krillin's having an all-star performance! Just launch it! Oh, how come both of us couldn't miss? Solar Flare! And it missed. Worst move in the game when it's not being the best move in the game. Please, go easy on me. Oh, my back. Yeah! Smile for the camera, bro! Solar Fl- I'm so- I'm sorry for what I'm about to see. Yeah, I shouldn't have gone for a Solar Flare there. Come on! Come on, go on! Krillin gave us a great opening! We're almost even with him in health. That's how you know it's a good opening. And I got grabbed because I don't know the grab animation from a heavy. Stay right there, Vegeta! Smile for the camera! And you blocked it. Is that rocks? That rock was not safe. Get up! Go on! Get up! Oh, it's GGs. I'm afraid this is GG territory. Get him! Oh, god, he countered. He countered. Masako! All right, we clipped him for a bar. Yasurobi, it's really going to be up to you, dude. Masako! That wall is very much in front of me. Oh, god. Can Yasurobi actually clutch up? Nah, I'd win. Come on! Nah, I'd win. Yasurobi's slice. Oh, god. This actually is going to take a miracle. Let's go. Come on. Come on, Yasurobi. Do something for us for once in your life. Oh, god, he dodged it. Yasurobi can't block in the air. Get down, you loser. Yes. Hidden energy. Oh, did he just turn me around and kill me? Did he just turn me around and kill me? Get behind the rock. Get behind the rock. Okay, can't see us. This is our chance to get full key. Try to surprise him with a beam. I just need to know where he is. Oh, god. Okay, we have lock-on now. Now I can get a free ultimate, and I'm going to try to surprise him with it, obviously. Oh, he found us. Destructo disk in his face, Krillin. He tried to blink one of them, but he still had to take 9k. I consider that a win. Solar flare! It worked. It worked. It actually worked. Full power beam, right now. He blinked it. He doesn't even know where we are. Are you kidding me? Are you actually kidding me? It's rigged. This is the most rigged game I've ever seen in my life. Does he have Ultra Instinct? How did his body detect the beam? This is rigged. The most range I've ever seen in my life. Nah, the game is actually just following a script, bro. That's crazy. Spin me out of here. Kave, Kave. Uh-oh. Ha ha ha ha ha. Okay, that one was just funny. Solar flare! Yes, yes. Go, go, go. Find a rock, find a rock, find a rock. Yes, no, yes, yes, yes. Oh, come here, big fella. Come here, Vegeta. You still, you still couldn't detect my presence. Oh, Sartling's are pretty good at that. Big 10K damage! Solar flare! He didn't even know where I was to begin with. I got, I'm dead. This is gonna hit for 9K. I'm dead. Ah! Well, I was technically alive until I hit the crown, but... All right, that's a really good... It's a decent start for sure. Oh, God. I just wish Yajirobi wasn't the worst character to ever be created, bro. Please! I do feel like the, the CPU gives dumpling this. I knew it, I knew it. I knew it was pointless. Do I have hidden power yet? Hidden energy! Nope, yeah, I knew. No, how do you launch me for... It's all up to Gohan. It's all up to Gohan. The best star I've ever had. Oh, God, of course you block. And a grab too, man. The grab is so... The animation is so hidden, bro. I hate this guy. Oh, brother! Look, I recognize when a run is dead as much as the next guy, but I just refuse. It's over. It's over. Gohan, it's gonna hurt. Ah, it hurts a lot. It hurts a lot. Yeah, this, this grade 8 mission sucks. Ha ha ha, brother, dude, please. No! The strategy is dead. The strat is dead of charging the full. No! No, I want to surrender so bad. You're an asshole, Vegeta. You can't just step back. And another grab. Cheating. I hate you. Grade 8 for what is with these old Dragon Ball games, bro. Oh, wait. You might let me get the Structo Disk. Big mistake, Vegeta. Yeah, you can't block that. You can't block that one, buddy. At least sometimes he walks into the chip damage. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Solar Flare. Ah, goddammit, it didn't work. Krillin's actually popping off. Not even because of any, like, gimmick or anything. Krillin's just him right now. Solar Flare didn't really work out. Come on, Krillin. Tweet the leg. No backdashing, Vegeta. Not anymore. I'm so over all the backdashing stuff. Ah, big coming around the face. Blink that. Oh, no. Ah, that was still a great fight, Krillin. Great fight. Oh, yeah, I'm switching up the goddamn tempo now, Vegeta. Oh, god, he got a counter. We have so much health that I want the smoke now, because even if I just get a few hits in, must say go. Of course, he blinks it with his back turn. No surprise. It's great at Vegeta, after all. The most nimble Dragonbucker. Get out of my face. Thank you, Krillin, for the great start. Yajirobe, useless as always. Thank you for the big clear, too. Give me my OST. All right, what's left? Big upgrades for the only characters that fought. Yajirobe surprises even himself as his attack cut short Vegeta's monstrous threat. Yeah, okay, bro. Not in my playthrough. This is not true. Nothing, but wait, what? Wait, are we going to have to 1v1 with Yajirobe? Well, Vegeta is still desperate. He's out here struggling. Gohan, no, I won't let you die. Turn your eyes towards the moon. Gohan, wait, can I? Why can't I fight as a great Athe, please? Oh, what the wait? Wait, wait. Does this mean I can transform? Bro, this is crazy. Vegeta still has so much. Why is that armor proceed condition? You should be battled damage. You should have 2L2. Dash up. What's this, Vegeta? Losing to a mere child, Vegeta. Losing to a cave, Vegeta. Now, this is embarrassing. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Can I not transform in this game? Where are the trans- Can I not go great Athe? Where did Vegeta go? Uh-oh. Where is- Where are you? Ah, behind me. When did you get behind me? I am dead. Oh, I'm actually alive. Doesn't matter. I'm not looking too good. Masako. Hey, took a cave from that though. I'll take that. Get off me. Stay back. I don't want to have to fight you. Oh, wow. Oh. Oh, he got a combo. All right. Well, hold on. I'm not- I'm not losing that twice. How do you see me? I just want to use the cheese technique one time. And Gohan, he literally shot us, bro. He's got to be somewhere around. Yeah, that's him, Gohan. The guy that's been trying to kill us this whole time, that's him. Come on. Yeah, you want to do all that talk, Vegeta? How did that break my guard? I blocked it. I thought- Oh, God, I did let go of block. Masako to the face. And he rolled it. Bro is actually playing Tekken out here. I'm playing BT2. Super and Yielding Spirit. Let's go. I got it. I got- I got the Spirit off. Damn, Vegeta is playing like a god though. Oh, and I have Super Armor. Yo, Gohan's kind of a beast. Wait a minute. Gohan's kind of a beast of nature. That's Vegeta's technique. I'll do it again, too. I'll do it again, too. You better not. You better not let me get my Super and Yielding Spirit. You better keep spamming. You better keep spamming. All right, so you kind of got me. All right, you kind of got me. You kind of- I'm not watching your whole grab animation, bro. I'm surrounded and going next. Oh, he could just see me. He could just see me through anything. Oh, I still hit the final part though. Must I go- Oh! AMBT3, that wouldn't have worked, buddy boy. Okay, block that. I'm nice. Come on, Gohan. We need every combo we can get. This guy has been a menace the whole time. Super and Yielding Spirit. Let's go. Up to damage. Up to damage. Up to tempo. Don't ever try to put your hands on me ever again. I'm rage boost, anime filler, Gohan. That's a different kind of Gohan, baby. Big follow-up with the Key Blast. I'm saving that for Frieza. Nice, we got him even with us now. I'm just going to kind of stall for time. I'm not going to lie. I'd rather- Oh no, the controls! No! My controls, I hate when that- Like, I get awkwardly stuck. I don't know how to describe it. Super and Yielding Spirit, let's go! I'll go on. You forgot that I'm my father's son. That was a combo set up in a half, baby! Yeah, it's looking like it's over for you, Vegeta. Finally. And you know what? You were spamming Key Blast, huh? Boom, hit him with a Sidewinder. Boom, hit him with a Sidewinder. Tell me, what's it like to be defeated by a gra- I was going to say a grab, but I'm not doing all that, bro. No. No. Damn your Saiyan pride, just let go and die! I won't joke this! Let's go. It's over. That should be the end of the Saiyan saga. Yeah, it's bringing that music. Yup, sounds like the end of a- Tree of Might. Hold on, is there a Tree of Might saga? Bring in the end of Saga music! This is over! Give me my final cutscene. At long last, the Z fighters brought the mighty Vegeta to his knees. But as Krillin readied the final blow... Stop! Aw, come on, bro. Is that you? He deserves to die! Hoping Vegeta would learn to change his evil ways. Goku asked that the Saiyan prince's life be spared. Ah, I'll remember this, you scum! Next time you won't be so lucky! Yeah, crawl away, bro. Earth was saved from the Saiyan menace, but in truth, this was only a prelude to the epic battle still to come. I'm afraid that our problems are only just beginning, oh dear. Thank you, Kinkai. You haven't talked to me all game like that, but alright. And that's the end of the Saiyan saga. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this. If you want to see me continue BT2, just keep watching these videos, like it and let me know down below. And click on some of these other videos that should be on your screen right now. I've been Dotto. I'll see you in the next one.
