History VideoGame / HyperDragonBallZ

''Hyper Dragon Ball Z'' is freeware game developed from the ''{{VideoGame/MUGEN}}'' engine by fans of the anime dubbed "Team Z2". The gameplay focuses on the mechanics inspired by ''StreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' with other fighting games thrown into the mix (like ''MarvelVSCapcom'' and ''TheKingOfFighters''). Initially beginning as a simple brand of ''Dragon Ball Z'' characters to go against the traditional ''Dragon Ball Z'' characters introduced into M.U.G.E.N. so far (overly flashy, broken, suffering heavily from SturgeonsLaw, etc.), the Z2 team of Balthazar (idea conceiver) and Cybaster (primary coder) expanded to include various others, including inspiring some other smaller projects in the team's honor. It's come to the point that a game based on the Z2 characters was realized, and the roster expanded from Goku and Vegeta to many more.

Soon to be released characters are Gotenks, Tien, Krillin, and Android #18. The download for the sample of the game (which includes the latest build) is [[http://justnopoint.com/HyperDBZChamp.rar here]] and the page to download characters is [[http://network.mugenguild.com/balthazar/ here]].

A beginning build of the game itself only included Goku, Vegeta, SS Goku, Mr. Satan, and the Saibamen; an updated EVO 2014 build replaced Mr. Satan and the Saibamen (who are still in the game as non playable characters.) with Ultimate Gohan and a beta build of Final Form Frieza, along with some new music for the existing stages and new stages. The "Majin Build" brought back Mr. Satan and included an updated Final Form Frieza along with new characters (Majin Vegeta and Babidi). Piccolo was then released on Christmas 2016, and was included with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Zqebj0Rp0 Champ Build]] along with various updates (including, as the name suggests, an overhauled Mr. Satan).

** The Champ version replaces both with Golden Freeza. Unlike Cyan Goku or Vegeta, he cannot be controlled by the player if the selection screen is hacked to include him, so he is always controlled by the CPU.

---> ''"Ever heard millions of screams slowly silenced by a burning atmosphere? '''Do you want too?'''"''

* DummiedOut: Goku originally had a variation of his Spirit Bomb finisher where he absorbs it, turns Super Saiyan and passes through the opponent as a MythologyGag to the ''SuperAndroid13'' movie. Later updates removed this finisher due to SS Goku becoming a separate character.

* JokeCharacter: The old version of [[BadassNormal Mr.]] [[FakeUltimateHero Sa]][[LovableCoward tan]] naturally.
** LethalJokeCharacter: When paired up with Goku: he sits the fight out forcing Goku to do all the fighting himself, but he infinitely charges up Goku's Spirit Bomb for him from the start of the fight to the end.

* ShoutOut: Babidi's "Let the hate flow through you" quote, as if he wasn't enough of a Palpatine/Sidious expy himself.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Over at Mugen Fighters Guild, Babidi was someone who was fairly not expected to make the roster, [[AluminumChristmasTrees partially due to being involved in a joke]] [[TrollingCreator claiming that (Majin) Vegeta had been canceled]].

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Certain moves will kill the opponent on the last round if the move depletes their health. Of the characters present in the roster (finished or not) there's (SS(GSS)) Goku, Ultimate Gohan, (Majin (SS()GSS) Vegeta, Mr. Satan, Piccolo, and Gotenks. They know each other and any one of them can brutally kill each other (well, maybe except for Mr. Satan killing anyone but you get the point).
* YouDoNotSoundLikeYou: Some characters (particularly Vegeta and Frieza) were given new voice work exclusively for the game, though both the Creator/FUNimation and Japanese voices are selectable for every character.

* [[Troll]]: Frieza has slight shades of this in both of his walk animations (the "girly" forward walk and the "come hither" back walk), clearly showing that he's not taking things seriously and mostly wanting to rile you up.

* YouDontSoundLikeYou: Some characters (particularly Vegeta and Frieza) were given new voice work exclusively for the game, though both the Creator/FUNimation and Japanese voices are selectable for every character.

* KickChick: [[DistaffCounterpart Gohan]] [[UpToEleven in spades]]. His UNLEASHED Mode even banks on his Omnikicks and both variations of the HurricaneKick (giving them substantial power boosts while they fill up the UNLEASHED gauge in return).

* TrapMaster: Babidi can play this game very effectively along with being a good zoner overall (all of his moves are disjointed bar his grabs, and his Rock Throw command move even has tracking properties before it falls).

* MightyGlacier: Piccolo is the biggest and slowest contender in Hyper Dragon Ball Z, but he's still just as capable as the other fighters; trading speed for power, he simply does high amounts of damage, often times not really needing an EX move to shave off half of an enemy's health thanks to combo-setups and increased hitstun inflicted on his opponent.

* TeleportSpam: SS Goku has this built into his playstyle and (as with every other character barring Goku) his JUSTICE Mode incorporates it into his ultimate attack (as well as enabling him to perform five teleports in a single combo as opposed to three and gives him the tracking-port Pursuit Attacks). Frieza also has access to the "Counterport" which places him behind the opponent should they strike him (and their movement is delayed giving a chance to attack. Outside of that move he also teleports after launching someone or whenever he dashes backward (and forward if close enough to his opponent) when SADISM is active. Babidi also has the Wizard's Forward/Backward Teleport.
* TheOtherDarrin: Some characters (particularly Vegeta and Frieza) were given new voice work exclusively for the game, though both the FUNimation and Japanese voices are selectable for every character.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Certain moves will kill the opponent on the last round if the move depletes their health.

They know each other and any one of them can brutally kill each other (well, maybe except for Mr. Satan killing anyone but you get the point).

* BeamSpam[=/=]MoreDakka: Some characters with projectiles can do this to an extent, some more than others, but the king of this trope in regards to the others is Vegeta. He can tack on the most amount of non-super projectiles and expands his combo hit further with his super projectiles(the only other person who comes close is SS Goku and he achieves this through teleporting rather than raw beam spamming). The base version of his Galactic Gunfire has the players ButtonMashing and rotating the control stick to deliver more hits. His RAGE Mode is even more dedicated to this trope in which he must use his Ki Blasts and (Aerial) Machine Gun Temper very often (he gains an EX variation for his Aerial MGT too) to gain stronger finishers for his Galactic Gunfire while disabling some other moves (Power Charge, Dash Elbow, Zero Counters, and Wolverine Flip). His Majin counterpart does this too but only for his Super Move, "Machine Gun Tantrum" [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill and "Cyan"/SSJGSSJ Vegeta fires at least twice as many Ki Blasts and/or hits twice as much/hard with his projectile-based Super Moves]].
