The Bleach DS fighters are far superior.

But the first thing I thought was, BT3 is not even the best in the series. That title belongs to BT2.

 

What?! No, in what way Tenkaichi 2 is better than 3? I cannot enjoy Tenkaichi 2 the same after playing 3.

 

 

Not in my opinion. BT3 took out pointer functionality. That was the biggest progression I had ever seen in fighting video games. Without them, the Wii remote controls are a clusterfuck of disorganization and scatter. I am a little bit disappointed to see people adore the regression the follow up provided.

BT3 was a simpler version of BT2 which just fails off the top in this case. Not that you guys probably know what I am saying anyway, you all probably use Classic or Gamecube pads. I simply cannot enjoy this game at all.

Still, Bleach Dark Souls pwns this game. I did not see anybody argue that one...

 

I have both of them, and Tenkaichi 3 is a lot better in my opinion, and yes, I only play them with the Wiimote-Nunchuck. The problem with the pointer is that ALL the time you must be pointing at the Tv, and that kinda sucks. Maybe the Supers were easier to execute, but I like more the way they are implemented in Tenkaichi 3. Also, did you defend pointing up? I used the down button only.

What I do like more in Tenkaichi 2 is the step in, shaking the nunchuck is easier and faster than pressing two times up in the stick. Other than that, Tenkaichi 3 is faster, more fluid, I like better to fly and go down just pressing buttons instead of moving the nunchuck up and down, and to move fast just with the stick instead of shaking the nunchuck. The supers are more diverse and more spectacular (too bad that the Destroy Planet animation is very hard to execute), and it just have a lot of new moves that make it more balanced defensively, like the Z counter animation (when the character dodges quickly and counters) or to use Ki to keep distance with your opponent.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Tenkaichi 2, but after playing 3 and getting USED to the controls, I cannot enjoy 2 in the same way.

ditto.  The pointer was pointless (ha pun) in Tenkaichi 2.  You had to have it on screen and then just moved it off one direction and back on to do MOST specials.  Make it so all characters were the same and didn't need to know anything.  And the pointer was annoying having that little aiming cursor thing on screen.  Plus had to be close enough and all that so it could read or notbe interfered with.

 

while tenkaichi 3, to do specials you have to do teh motion that mimics the special.  And since only 3 per person at each form you have to know what they ahve and not just move pointer in generic motion.  You know like pushing up and triangle for all super specials in PS2.  Made the game too damn easy and thus get bored of quickly and quit playing.  

 

The only gripe i had with T3 was that it was so much different than T2 in controls that it took quite a while to break my habits i had gotten.  But once you get good T3 is amazing.  

 

Sorry I missed this post. Pointer was pointless? I could not disagree more. Also, what you are saying about the supers makes me believe you limited your play time. Some supers were motion based, others required many movements, some required simple pointer usage. I did not feel like the game promoted a, "same ole, same ole" feel any more than BT3 did. But what do you expect with so many characters to play from?

Your point about being close is well noted. That was a poor design decision by the developers as I have stated. I absolutely agree with you there. I never played the PS2 or Gamecube games. I have a couple of them, but I started playing at the Wii games.

Yes the controls are drastically different, but that would not have been a problem for me at all if I thought they were more cohesive. Which I do not believe they are at all.
