Very kewl games you have played. I think Broly also goes for the first one, IIRC he was over-powered to most because it doesn't even really make sense to have him in the game, besides being a Saiyan.

 

[Evil Vegeta]

Legend of the Super Saiyan (SNES)

Namek. The good thing is Tien, Chaozu, and Yamcha can come to Namek if they survive the Saiyan saga. Problem is Gohan absolutely cannot get killed on Namek or it's game over. Krillin and the other humans can be killed and the game will continue. When you fight the bosses like Dodoria, Zarbon, and the Ginyu Force, Vegeta will have the habit of snubbing you and not attacking. That's annoying because the battle gets a lot harder when he's not helping in battle. Gohan can randomly access rage boosts in this game, but they're hella rare. When he does them, he inflicts a shit ton of damage, outright defeating enemies in many cases. That's why it's so rare to see. Another cool thing is this game has Zenkais. If Goku, Vegeta, or Gohan fully heal when their HP is around 1-10, they gain a level up and get much stronger.

Gravity training is hard in this game. Goku ends up damaging himself more often than not. At least the boost in power is worth the hassle.

You have to fight 3rd form Freeza countless times. There are random battles when he's surrounded by a bunch of henchmen, too.

Super Saiyan Vegeta is cheap as fuck. He can kill off any character that isn't Super Saiyan Goku with a Final Flash. This is a hidden battle that takes place if Vegeta survived the battle with Freeza and saw Goku reach Super Saiyan. Once you defeat Freeza, Vegeta rage pushes him to Super Saiyan. Pretty fun battle overall.

Legendary Super Warriors (Gameboy Color)

Fighting Nappa with Gohan alone. This battle is hard because Gohan isn't that strong. He only has the Masenko, whereas Nappa has like 2-3 attacks that can wipe Gohan out instantly. You have to utilize defensive cards in the right moment to dodge or limit the damage. Those range from cards like Endurance, Avoid, and Shockwave. Goku Vs Nappa is easy because he has Kaio-Ken and way stronger than Gohan.

Gohan Vs Reacoom feels impossible. If the battle goes on too long, Reacoom will use Breath to blow away any Chi-attack Gohan does.

Goku Vs Jheese and Butta is super hard. Nothing like the actual story. Their Purple Comet Attack can erase half of Goku's HP.

Ginyu Goku Vs Gohan/Krillin is another odd battle that's way harder than it needs to be. Ginyu has an attack called Dynamite Fist or something. Can also use the Super KMHMH. Both of these attacks do absurd damage.

Base Goku/Super Saiyan Goku Vs Freeza takes quite a few tries. Goku's damage in Super Saiyan feels less than his Kaio-Ken damage. At least Super Saiyan Goku can do the Genki-Dama, though.

Super Saiyan Goku Vs #19. Can't really use Chi-attacks here.

Piccolo Vs #20. Same as above. Physical attacks are a must. Your Chi-attack will likely be absorbed, which heals them.

Super Saiyan 2 Gohan Vs Super Perfect Cell. Cell can Teleport and evade all of your Chi-attacks. You have to outsmart him with strategic use of cards, such as weakening his defense, power, and other stats. Getting the Final KMHMH (Kid Gohan's strongest attack) is very rare. Till this day, I never acquired it. I had to fight Cell with the Masenko and Super KMHMH.

Super Saiyan Vegeta Vs Super Perfect Cell. Lol. You have to complete this battle if you want to unlock the Future Trunks battles with the Androids and Cell in the future timeline. Fuck this battle.

Future Trunks Vs Future Androids. This battle can be either very hard or very easy. Trunks is pretty strong, but both Androids can wear him down. Chi-attacks against #17 can be ignored by his Barrier, and #18 has a combo that depletes a lot of Trunks' HP. If you were able to acquire the Remote Control, Trunks can use it to shutdown one of the Androids. That makes the battle significantly easy.

Most of the Boo saga battles were annoyingly difficult.

Sagas (PS2)

Everything. Boss battles take forever.

Super Gokuden 2 (SNES)

This requires you to do a lot of training to build your power. That means a lot of image training (with Gohan fighting Krillin), going against the gravity room with Goku, and fighting Freeza's henchmen with Gohan. You can change the story based on the choices you make. You can also get game over pretty quickly if you make the wrong choices. If you don't help Dende when Dodoria attacks him, then you eventually get a game over. Letting Krillin kill Vegeta on Earth quickly fast-forwards to Gurd finishing Gohan and Krillin off on Namek. You can also do cool things like have Tien succeed in taking Nappa out with Kikoho, which will lead to Vegeta being the one to take out Piccolo. So many different things you can do here.

Dragon Ball Z 3 (NES)

Holding off Mecha Freeza until Trunks arrive. Also gotta fight Cooler a bit later.

I'll think of some more later.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Great answer. Legend of the Super-Saiyan sounds gr9.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Gohan VS Cell (Budokai) - You start off with one less health bar than normal and it doesn't help that Cell's a fan of that cheap knockback attack.

All battles against Pure Boo in Story Mode (Budokai Tenkaichi) - The first 4 require you to survive for 60-90 seconds, but even that's difficult when Boo is so fast and lands massive damage pretty quickly. The last level involving him requires you to beat him with the Genki Dama in 2 minutes, which is difficult when so much as getting shot with a tiny Ki blast when trying to charge up your Ki fully will mean you have to charge up the 2nd bar all over again.

Raditz VS SS3s (Raging Blast 2) - One of Raditz's Galaxy Mode levels requires you to defeat SS3 Goku, Gotenks, Vegeta and Broly whilst your health decreases and it's on Ultimate Difficulty. Talk about unfair.

"Super Saiyan Bargain Sale" and "Super, Ultra Series of Battles" (Xenoverse) - Goku and Gohan will keep spamming their Ultimates at the last part and will even do so both at once to trap you. Unless you have the Ultimate "Blue Hurricane", there's no point in even attempting these.

Final battle with Mira (Xenoverse 2) - Not only do you have to do three different stages of battle relying on maintaining as much health as possible and not overusing your items, but in the last section his Super Attack which chases you no matter where you go is the cheapest move in any DB game.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

I did both XV fights without Blue Hurricane (I couldn't use that right anyway).

 

[Pocket-Gog~]

Final battle with Mira (Xenoverse 2) - Not only do you have to do three different stages of battle relying on maintaining as much health as possible and not overusing your items, but in the last section his Super Attack which chases you no matter where you go is the cheapest move in any DB game.

Funnily enough, I found Mira a breeze in that game. May be a result of how fucking good Golden Form is.

 

[Castiel]

The Budokai 2 fight against Kid Boo always took me an eternity to get past as a kid.


Raging Blast 2 also had a few unfair ones where you start with 1 hit point and you have to take down 2-3 characters. It just degenerates in the player hiding behind something charging up and spamming ultimates. Very very bad design.

Unless you have the item that makes it so you start with full health but I think I managed to muscle through all of them without it. Took me centuries.

Should've specified if playing as a Majin like I do, because Quick Sleep.

The Budokai 2 fight against Kid Boo always took me an eternity to get past as a kid.

It could actually be pretty easy if you figured out the glitch for Goten/Kid Trunks to have them meet with each other and Galu to get a ridiculous defence buff.

 

[Castiel]

I probably also would have had an easy team if I didn't button mash the whole time. lmao

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Speaking of button mashing, I'd add all the giant boss battles from Ultimate Tenkaichi. Unless you're extremely adept at mashing a single button with the right technique or have a cheap alternative like the pen trick, you have pretty much no chance at the quick time events.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Also Super-Saiyan 2 Gohan in Shin-Budokai. I'm going-off memory, so maybe I just didn't figure out the easy way to win back then, but that took me and a friend a few tries.

 

[Papasmurf]

One of the galaxy mode fights in Supersonic Warriors 2 - Never managed to beat Broly in this game.

Budokai Tenkaichi 1 and LOG I in general - self-explanatory.

The dinosaur egg mission in LOG II, along with #19 and #20 fights if you follow the story and use Piccolo for the latter

Sagas - Not only difficult but suicide inducing due to how laughably bad and rushed the game is. Pretty much DBS ep 5 in game form.

The boss parade in DB Advanced Adventure.

Unlocking SSJB Goku & Vegeta in DB FighterZ w/o resorting to DLC'ing - never done this, but heard it sucks ass.

All I can think of atm

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Why was BT (2005) hard in-general?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Why was BT (2005) hard in-general?

Mainly because regardless of difficulty, the CPU would often resort to the same square square square X/square square square triangle combo and a lot of levels required you to defeat the enemy with an ultimate attack, something irritating to perform in this game when even 1 small Ki blast will bring your KI bar back to the yellow level if you haven't charged up to max power.

Thank you, meng. I never played the game, so I never knew that.
