The downside about Raging Soul is you cannot use any super or ultimate moves while its active. Raging Soul combos can be evaded by swaying and vanishing so this isn’t a super mode. If an enemy runs away you can teleport to them to keep pressure on.
Once both bars are full hitting a button switches you into Raging Soul mode (plus changes the music to the opening theme song) where hand-to-hand attacks chain easier and deal more damage. To activate it you need to max out your ki meter and high tension gauge, usually done by charging. The Raging Soul system makes melee attacks more useful. Battles usually come down to ki fights, but the newly introduced Raging Soul system changes that a bit. Specials are still the most damaging moves in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2. The stick spinning motion comes into play when two special moves beam attacks clash. You can still send enemies flying across the battlefield with a well-timed charge attack, but recovery is a bit different since you mash buttons instead of spinning the analog stick. The circle button is reserved for character specific attacks. Depending on when you press triangle, you can turn an enemy around, hit them with a flurry of fists or make them stagger for a second. Break the chain with triangle for a smash attack. Square (on PS3) throws out a string of punches and kicks. Every character has the same basic set of combos. Other modes like the world tournament, quick battles, a tutorial (set in Galaxy Mode) and online play from Raging Blast return in the sequel.ĭragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 uses the same rush & smash combo system from Raging Blast too. Winning fights can unlock missions on another character’s galaxy grid and character customization items. You can play through missions as villains like Turles and lesser characters like Saibaman. Galaxy Mode, compared to the other Dragon Ball games, covers more characters. As the difficulty level increases, computer controlled enemies get stat boosts or you have to fight multiple opponents with only one character. Each fighter has their own path to follow with preset fights ranging in difficulty from easy to ultimate. On the other hand, casual Dragon Ball fans may be scratching their heads wondering who some of the 100 characters in the game are. Diehard fans don’t have to watch Piccolo shoot Goku and Raditz with his special beam cannon for the 9000th time. It’s more arcade-like than the single player mode of other Dragon Ball games. Galaxy Mode drops cutscenes that setup the story and goes straight to fights. Namco Bandai calls it Galaxy Mode and that’s what you’re going to play to unlock the bulk of Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 characters. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 retells the story of Dragon Ball Z with a giant, multi-character connecting, sphere grid.
