 When you think of some of the worst Dragon Ball games you have ever played, what games come to your mind? Ultimate Tank Aichi, Final Bouts, both pretty terrible games in my opinion. But when you look up lists online, one game that comes up pretty frequently is Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 22. It's a game that I've rarely played, and honestly I have no opinion on it. So you know that today on the channel we had to check it out. That's why I invited my friend Nanogenics over to play it. And because we both actually own the game in person, we're gonna have the strategy guides and command lists in our hand as we play. Which really doesn't change the video too much, but at least we'll be able to do special moves because this stuff is not mentioned in the game anywhere. Nanoh, how we feel? Are you ready to play some Ultimate Battle 22? Sorry, Dotto, I'm getting some reading in right now if you don't mind, give me a second. Ah yeah, you got your strategy guide in your hand? I do too. I like all the character pictures honestly. Alright Nanoh, Ultimate Battle 22. Look at this pristine, pristine, championship. You wanna do a tournament? Dotto, let's do a tournament. Alright, let's do it. Bring us in, bro. I'm just playing Ultimate Battle 22 today. Are two controllers inserted? Nanoh, don't lie. Don't lie. This is a... ooh, good task. Are there not two controllers inserted? There are, there are, but if you were... guess wrong, the game was gonna explode. So Dotto, this is how it works. Go ahead. We're gonna select eight characters. Then it will randomly select the other eight characters that are bots. And wait, we just have to... And we control the player characters, and then we fight computers and sometimes we have to fight each other. How cool is this? Okay, this is awesome. Awesome, so you pick the characters. Bro, it's a huge Ultimate Battle 22 fan. Oh yeah, I pick her. I thought we each picked eight. Are we not versing? You do your four and then I do my four. Oh, okay, fair enough. Or let's trade off. Let's trade off. You can go ahead and pick. Well then, we gotta get Vegeta in here on our side, so Vegeta. Okay, well then I want Goku. Goku to Vegeta, I think that's fair. Oh, and this is where the third player is supposed to come in, but this is just you. This is just me. Your odds, I'm even. Your odds, I'm even. I get Gohan. Alright, then pick me up. I'm gonna go with Piccolo. I'm feeling Piccolo on this one. Gotcha. Ooh, I'll pick the fusion. Go, Tinks. Cheater. I'll go with Android 16. I was looking at him up there. I was like, you know. He's kind of brawling, bro. I gotta go with him. I'm just like, you can play Supreme Kai. I want to see what this is all about. Oh, Dima fan. Big Dima fan over here. I'm gonna go with Krillin because I got to. Actually, bro, I do Krillin in every game. Give me Tien. I want Tien. Martian Death beam pointed at the earth. I want Tien Shinhan. Damn. Oh, they're going with the full Ginyu Force build. Alright. That's cool. Oh, you got to fight Krillin. Oh, shit. The only character we didn't pick was Trunks and Goatem. Let's see what the, let's see what the matchups are, Dotto. Alright, I'm down to see the matchup. So is that Majin Vegeta? Look at his head. That's Majin Vegeta. That is definitely Majin Vegeta. Oh, we got a calm battle first. Oh, it's a computer. We're just spectating this for to be hype. Or are they just fighting off screen? I'm not sure. They fought off screen. That's lame. To be, wait, this is me versus me. Wait, what? Wait, what? No, I didn't consider this an option, fellas. Oh, man. I completely forgot that that's how the game would handle it. Whatever, man. That's why I said like we should just draft, like we should just draft pick. I didn't think we'd get an animation here. The animations of the game are kind of sick. He said something about 16 in there. I heard that. Yeah. That's so cool. Who do you think is going to let me control? Who do you think it's going to let? Like surely it's going to be your 16. I'm going to be Android 16. So technically, I think if I wanted my best odds, I should actually pause it, bro. Pause it. Pause it. We get a short reading break. Oh, you're right. You're right. All right, let's see here. I got the super powered direct attack, which is the inputs in this game are fucking disgusting if you play fighting games, by the way. What do I look like rolling my stick all the way quarter circle back and then directly to the right on top? Energy concentration, mega energy bomb and hell's flash. Well, I definitely got to do hell's flash on him. Bro, I'm good. I'm going to be checking back to that. Am I ready? Can I pray? Yeah. Yeah. You're good to go. Oh, bro. You don't even understand what you... Hey! Ocean! Bro, can I get a key? Of course they use key. Oh, belly flop! He just uses so much. Yo, I'm belly flopping down here. Look at me belly flopping. Yo, come down here. Come down here, coward. Catch this belly flop then. Oh, you are a coward. He's actually carrying full charge in on him. Hang on. You are a coward and a half, bro. What? How is that hell's flash? I absorbed that with my energy shield probably, bro. That's not hell's flash. I refused him. Look at this pause screen. Wait, have you not touched me yet? Hey, bro, what you insulted me for? And I'll have you know I'm going for an easier move now. Are you? Still iconic, but... Oh, David, you're not playing. Is that not a hit? Rocket punch! Oh, look at that. That is garbage. That is trash. Bro, I could literally animate that in Photoshop. That's literally not even a joke. I could actually do this one. Rocket punch. Rocket punch. That is trash. That is fucking hilarious. That was awesome, bro. Ultimate battle 23 might be my favorite game. Rocket punch. Bro, what happened to my... Hell's flash. Can you do Hell's flash? I think I just did. Did you? Except I'm literally in Android recovery mode, man. Damn. I can't. I'm an Android. I hate that they do that crap in these games. Oh, no. Bro, back up. Bro, back up. Don't make me rocket punch you, man. Don't make me rocket. What are you doing, bro? Oh! Styling on you? Hey, that's whatever, man. I needed Goku in my side, man. Hopefully. Yeah, you want to Goku to win. You have to go against Krillin, right? I'm still a sick that Android 16 is just... Bro, that rocket punch animation was crazy. Oh, you're going to Raccoon? Oh, definitely great say, man, for sure. Oh! How do you lose again, bro? Oh, wait. This is actually our character. This is a real matchup right here. The other one was real. Don't you dare take my win away from me, man. Okay, come on, man. That just... That wasn't real. Anyway, I got Piccolo, bro. What am I going to hit you with? You think the announcer pops up every time? Yeah, probably. All right, I have Special Beam Cannon. I'm also going to try to hit you with Mystical... Apparently, Piccolo has Charge Moves, by the way. Hang on, wait. Is there two different Gohans? Because I got Kid Gohan. Is there an SS? Wait, didn't you get Super Saiyan 2? Yeah. Oh, you mean like... Is there... Oh, the image is just terrible, is it? Yeah, I think that's supposed to be Team Gohan in the book. I think that's a mistake. Hang on, I'll get you a nice little shot of that. Look, this is what I'm looking at. And the game is Super Saiyan 2. They just didn't know which Gohan they had. Bro, don't make me hit you with a Special Beam Cannon, bro. Oh, you're... Special... That was Special Beam... Oh, wait. Oh, wait. That was insane. Yeah, that might be one of the better attacks in the game. Oh, Halo Stop. Oh, I'm beating his little ass. I'm beating his little... Oh, I'm kicking his... I'm kicking his shit out of him. The powering up in this game is actually cool. Damn, you knocked my ass out of the sky. Damn, you shot me down again. Special Beat... Oh, you see that? Wait, why did I drain my power instead of charge it? How are you doing that? It's Square and X at the same time. Square and X. These buttons, right? It's X and A, by the way, on Xbox. Yeah, yeah, that's what it should be, but maybe back as well. I don't have a charge. I just... I think I have just a Key Blast Deflect or whatever this is. Damn! Doesn't matter. I'm going to resort to my melee attacks. Why did the animations in this game look like that? I also have a charge move. Oh, wait. What was that? Oh, shit! He's got a charge move. I've got stretchy arms, bro. This game is crazy. Thank God we have the instruction booklets. What? Damn, bro. Why are you going kind of nice? No way. You got an Africa? Damn! No way. Oh, you're... You're going to be kidding me. There you go. No, you quit. Quit that. Get in! You are such a hater, bro. You are such a... Get out of that state, motherfucker! Damn! Let's go! Oh, this is whack. Bro, I can't beat this motherfucker at PS1 Dragon Ball games. God damn it. Oh, this is you, man. Or I guess maybe technically it's me. Do you think it's going to be you? It might end up being you controlling this. Hey, I'll try not to let you down. Oh, that is much Vegeta. Now that it's like Morsameden. It's definitely just Vegeta in the book, by the way. It definitely is just Vegeta in the book. Yeah, they used a base Vegeta image. It's actually a pretty iconic Vegeta image, though they used. And then Raku... They didn't have a Zarbhan image, and then Raku is definitely just a rip out of the anime. That is literally someone cut out of it. Like, someone put the price. They probably had to sell for that image, and they were just like, okay. They really didn't try. All right, well, I guess we both have to be at the wheel for the first... It is me. Well, my bad, Nanna. Let me see if I can't help you. Come on, this is a computer, man. Come on, Nanna. I'm sorry, Nanna. You got this, Nanna. The computer knows more than I ever will. Oh! Whoa! Oh, dude. Spamming? The computer knows how to charge up. He's already better. Shut up, man. Nanna, you're not going to lose to a con, bro. Come on. I can figure this out. Maybe if I hit him with the final flash, Nanna. Maybe if I can figure out how to do final flash, we'll win this. Maybe I can figure this out, Nanna. Okay, that was something. I can't hit this goddamn final flash, and put to save my life, Nanna. I can't... Oh, God. Damn! Nanna, I feel like you're self-sabotaging me on my Vegeta pig. No, I'm trying. Dude, Nanna, beat the computer, man. This has to be the hardest shit of all time. Nanna, you play fighters, man. Come on. Bro, I swear to God, these inputs are way harder, man. I don't know what the fuck a quarter-circle back roll it forward on top. I've never seen that in my life in a regular fighting game. Get off me. Nanna, just hit it, man. You're so low. This is so hard. He's dodging all my attacks. I didn't even get to use you, man. Come on. I'm going to fight for my life, Nanna. I promise you, by the end of this, you're going to say, at least you tried. Let's go. Come on. Come on. Nice block. It's over. It's over. It's a combo. Bro, you saw that combo. That was crazy. Bro, that was so fucking difficult. How do I do the roll it down straightforward? I should have spammed Big Bang Attack. That wasn't how it was supposed to go. That's my bad, man. That's my bad. Wait, wait, wait. So does that mean my Gohan fight against Rukrum is going to actually be you? Just a play? Honestly, you get one more match against me, and then I think you're benched for most of the tournament. I mean, it is your video, so... Oh, God damn it. Bro, I'd rather you play. I feel like that's a better display. This was cool the first time. Now it's kind of like... I was thinking the same thing. I was like, this was a lot more charming the first time I saw it. I'm going to read again, bro. All right, viewers, how much money are we betting on the fact that Dotto wins this one because he's playing as Tien? And it's not my character. It's his. Hey, bro. Well, I didn't get to practice. The Tien model looks good, though. Actually, the Deborah model looks good, too. He's spinning. He's turning me to stone. They couldn't program in the visual for that. He's crazy now. Oh, oh, oh. Bro, he has hands like Honda? No way he has hands like Honda. Bro's playing Street Fighter 6 now, man. Come on. Yeah, this is a little bit of a better display, Dotto. I can't help but notice you're using some actual... Oh, my God. Why do they put so much... What? Is it a display, Dotto? If I had displayed more than I did against Frieza? Yeah, I'm not going to put a lot of budget to Deborah. Why do they put so much budget to Deborah? I don't know. God damn it. He's turning me to stone again. Wait, why is it that you just did, by the way? Dotto and Ray. Damn, Tien might be... Boom. I got the lead, Dotto. Oh, my God. He blew off 90% of my fucking Christ. The board is the strongest character in all of fiction. Bro, I swear he turned me to stone six times, bro. He does turn into Kira's work, by the way. Did you hear the happiness in my voice when I said I had the health lead only for 90% of it to be blown away in a keyboardized? And another calm match, bro. My bad, bro. I hope you enjoyed the last match. Wait, these are my two characters now. Yeah. Look, I'm not going to throw up. That's what you're worried about. Are you not? Let me go read real quick, bro. I was going to say, let me go read real fast. Hang on. Shine Shine Missile? Wait, wait, Dotto. I don't know a lot of Japanese, but do you think they called it Shine Shine Missile? Because dye in Japanese is shine? Probably. So they thought that there was like a shine? They took shine, shine, something and turned it into Shine Shine Missile. That is stupid. All right, bro. Let me hit you with... You piece of... Oh, yeah. You like that, huh? Yeah, yeah. Right in the kisser. Oh, come on. Right in the kisser, baby. I hope you enjoyed playing. I hope you enjoyed playing. What are you... Whoa! No, I don't think she's got good stuff against Gotenks. I don't think so, buddy. I don't think so. Oh! Come on. Oh, if I just hold circle it charges up too. Let me hit you with the You're Dead kick. I did it. Let me hit you with the You're Dead. Oh, you did? Oh, come on. I actually want Gotenks to win, though. Wait, did you just dodge that? I did. That was crazy. I still got the Gotenks win, baby. We still clutch up. I didn't really get accomplished much, though, to be fair. To be fair, I did not accomplish much with Gotenks in terms of my technical ability and skill, but I'll still take it. Hey, that means you actually get to play, though. Oh, it does. And you got one fight. You got one fight in the next five minutes. Oh, you got to fight Krillin. Yeah, bro, but I want to Goku to make it. Ironically, if I win with Goku, you'll be fighting, though. This is an interesting setup. You know, if we were IRL, though, it wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Yeah, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all. I want to do Ultra Kamamiya, bro. Yeah, that one's hard. All right, tap in. I will win a match against the computer. I am him. Stop. Oh, snap. Oh, my God. Hey, bro, stop. Oh, my God. Bro, when facing these computers, they do not come to mess around, man. All right, let me see if I can... You just want to let Krillin charge up over there, bro? Oh, that had to be the Ultra Kamamiya. Oh, that hurt. Oh, no. Oh, God. My Ultra one hit harder. My Ultra one hit harder. Yeah, but mine was Ultra Kamamiya. That's Ultra. Oh, nice. Let's go. Oh, no beam clashes here, baby. Oh, please. God, are you going to get in there, bro? Are you just going to keep throwing? Are you going to really make me feel better? No, no. Read me off some moves, bro. Read me off some moves. I can't read and fight at the same time. I try to go flick through my paint. I got you. Hurry, Goku. Hurry. Give me some of the melee ones. Do Back Forward Shoot. Back Forward Shoot? No. Do Forward Back Forward X. Forward Back Forward X. Yeah. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's all I needed. Yes. Nana, thank you for reading. Oh, kick him in the mouth. Kick him in the mouth. That's what I needed. That's a big W for Goku. That was huge teamwork. That was like a pit crew, bro. That's like when they're racing. You always got to have a pit guy. Yes, sir. Now, Nana, let me go ahead and get Gohan in there. Yeah, dude, I swear on everything, man. You could either make it to where we have to fight again or you could make it to where I have to find a computer player with your character. Get Gohan open, bro. I need you to read that to me. Oh, you got 18 minutes. God, damn. Dude, try a halo stomp. You got to be jumping and then you press Forward Down X. Forward Down X, okay. Oh, that's the same. Bro, Piccolo had that move. Oh, yeah. Let me get that dome piece for Koum. Hey, you remember what you did when I was a kid? You remember what you did when I was a kid, huh? Yeah, you remember that, huh? Oh, yeah. Keep going. Oh, Reeds. Reeds. Oh, nice. Now, give me an ultimate move. Give me a Key Blast. Give me a hard one. It's the same. It's the same. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Do a full circle up. There you go. Why do we go upwards? You can do it with some Sinko with just a full circle or full bottom half circle. How do you say that? Forward. Like back down forward circle. What does that do? What does that do? Bro, he's spinning. He's looping. What is happening? He's looping. He's got loops. Fight back. I am. Yeah, that moves awesome. That's... Oh, let's go. I swept the leg. Yeah, let's go, bitch. It only counts if you win with a Sinko though, so... Say goodbye. That was not Missenko. It... Missenko, read Missenko to me. It's back down forward circle. Back down forward circle. Missenko! Hey! Missenko! Wait. Did he just dodge it? Oh! That's a dot over there. Key Blast. Itch. Did he want to go down? What is going on? Oh, God. Missenko! Got him. That counts. Yeah, coward. I kind of look like Trunks more than Gohan at the end there. I don't know why my hair was spiked up that way. When do I get to play again? Right after this computer match. I got money on D'Bora after what we saw. Hey, bro. If you could make sure you win this match, though, I'd really appreciate it because I need somebody to play. It's finally my time to fight a computer player. I don't think I've fought... Yeah, bro. I've only ever fought you. Sorry, man, for the lack of competition you've been having. Oh, wait. Go Dinks. Anyway, you trying to hit this shine-shine missile for me, bro? You good? So the way you want to do it is don't hit up. Oh! Shine-shine missile! Oh, wait. I'm too short. You're too short. You're ducking his attacks. They have all the time in the world to breathe. All right. He does have the health lead right now. No. Ooh. Pretty close game here. Oh, brother. What? Why are you so cheap? He's begging you not to beat him up. Bro, you have to win, Nino. I just realized you're dying. Bro. There you go. Beat his ass, Nino. Beat his ass. Charge up. Charge up and do shine-shine missile for him. Oh, oh, never mind. Do that instead. That would save. Win, Nino! Win! Fight, Nino! Fight! No! No! Nino! You lost again, you. Not that I could even talk, Nino, but damn. You just made it so I don't get to play. This is my finals now. Damn, this is my last match. A guy like me can't even play in the finals no more. Oh, God. And I'm Gohan, too. Actually, I already know the buttons on Gohan. I'm fighting for your team. You're fighting for mine, bro. But at this point, all roads lead back to Nanogenics finals. Don't take me lightly, Nino. I'm not the scrub I was, but what? Wait, wait. Get off me, man. Oh, yeah. Get off me. Okay. All right. There you go. There you go. Overhead. Dash and kick. Oh, my God. We're just both punching the air. Oh, come on. No. No! Okay. In the back of my head. No. I didn't mean to tire myself out. Stop it, Nino. No! Oh, shit. No. No. Nino, don't do this. I'm trying. I can't. Oh, I jumped in. Oh, my God. No. No. How are you still alive? Oh, I did my upper cut. Anthony, you're this, you bitch. Oh. No. Why does his mistake go up slightly? This does technically mean your character is advancing though. So I mean, hey, bro, do me right. Win the finals, bro. That's all I can hope for at this point. It's got to be Frieza. This is got to be iconic. Frieza. Frieza. Frieza. Oh, my God. Wait. It says two player. You think maybe it'll let you? No shot, brother. This is you. Nino, you get to finish this. Survive, Nino. Win for the human race. At this point, Nino, you realize you're fighting for the human race, right? Oh, shit. Oh, my God. It actually changes. It's nighttime, by the way. It's evening time. This is pretty sick. If only we hadn't seen this intro like 30 times. Yeah, if only. But at least we're seeing it for the final time in a different environment. Now, Nino. Take it away. Win this, bro. Win this. I'll tell you what. That Frieza's computer is a mean one, though. Did you lose to Frieza? Yeah, you obviously lost to Frieza. I lost in the first round. Whoa. Oh, my God. Whoa. Nino, Nino, I told you he's a mean one. I told you he's a mean one, Nino. You got to win this. Oh, God. Oh, God, Nino. There you go. You had to block that. Nino's fairing. There you go, Nino. Pick your spots. Pick your spots. Good uppercut. Good combo. Damn, you are literally him at PS1. Dragonball games, bro. It is with an ultra combo, Nino. I tried. Oh, no. Oh, God, bro, if you're... Oh, Nino, it's getting close. Just go back and do what you were doing, bro. Just wait. Oh, God, Nino. There you go. Nice. Good option. There you go. In the final moments. Martin... Oh, there you go. Nino, he's in the air. Oh, Nino, you're tucking yourself out. Charge. Charge it. You don't have time. Just go back and charge. Oh, what an AT. Five. Come here, Nino. One combo. For human kind, he clutched up. I actually think he had zero HP left. Goku wins. That's the end of the World Tournament. Wow. Do we get like a cool winning animation? That's what I want to see. With like confetti falling down on Goku? Do we... No. Oh, we get sent back to the title screen. Yeah, that's pretty sweet. All right. Well, hopefully you enjoyed this Ultimate Battle 22 video.
