I would love for a 200 characters in a crossover fighting game at launch. But nope greedy corporate execs who uses DLC and season passes and balance purists who tends to support the modern practice in video games tend to get their way. P.S. Don't mention MUGEN I want 3d models with pretty graphics ala Xrd or UMVC3.
What the Hell man, this game has EVERYTHING! Robots, Drones, Dinosaurs, Orcs, Elves, Fairies, Skeletons, Puppets, Penguins, Dogs, Emus and so much more! Why isn't this game a classic? Life is truly unfair!
Why can't future MVC games or to the extent all crossover fighting games have a 200 roster at launch. UMVC3 decreased it to 50 and Infinite is way worse! And that's not into getting with DLC, season passes or loot boxes/microtransactions.
+Rio Kamishiro Merag Kastle Because wanting any fighting game to have 200 characters at launch is ludicrous unless you want the game to have nothing else BUT those characters? Budokai Tenkaichi 3 had 150+ characters but half of the movesets in that game were just slightly variations of stock attacks with no real differences to them.
@@xmarksthespot1372 me too! I would be playing the game all day, although that would take about like 30-40 years give it take to make that many in today’s standards because of how advanced graphics are becoming.
They just added the people you default in Quest Mode to the roster. I just wish they had made this game playable in America, and they had CGI endings/actual storylines to aaaaallllll these people
@@Dragonfury3000 For the characters no, but for the background yes. And on big triangles... That's where warping usually happens. Not in Tobal 2. Big textured triangles with no warping.
One of my goals in life is to play this game. I loved Tobal 1 and I wanted to play Tobal 2 the moment it was announced in magazines way back when. I was so bummed out when I heard it would be Japan only.
Strange that Dream Factorys fighting games like Ehrgiez, Kakuto Chojin, and Tobal are obscure compared to other 3D fighters. I guess it was because Tekken and DOA pretty much overshadowed them.
am I the only one who noticed most of tekkens moves were taken from this game. Jins fighting style,ninas fighting style,and one character straight up looked like mokujin. I'm saying this as a huge tekken fan. I am impressed with this game
A PlayStation 1 game has 200 characters while Smash Ultimate only has 89?! Step your shit up, Sakurai! I’m kidding. Thank you for everything, Sakurai. Take a long break, because you’ve earned it.
Amazing game. One of the most underrated. Tobal had everything and was ahead of it's time. It was superior to any other PS1 fighting game, even Tekken 3. It had better graphics than Tekken, characters could show emotions on their faces, very detailed moving mouth when they talking and moving backgrounds. Combat system was also unique. Great combinations and special attacks. You could do chain combination that would finish opponent in air or while laying on the ground.
I'm convinced that when square asked toryama to make more characters for a new Tobal he just gave them his old sketchbooks and said "just use these and gtfo baka I'm trying to make dragon ball"
And this game wasn't ported to America because... why? And there's also the fact that the unplayable characters are in a perfectly usable state, yet they're left out. I mean, c'mon, I want to play as a priest and kick ass for the Lord!
This game was most definitely not low-quality. It broke many records and barriers for one. And the main characters had quality moves and ending scenes. Just because they give you the choice of playing with quest-specific characters as well, doesn't decrease its quality.
@vahidmirkhani ok, I was definitely not trying to say the serious itself was low quality. It actually, looks quite fun and I hate I will never get to play it. That said, you can't tell me ALL of these characters are necessary to the game and aren't just gags, duplicates, etc.
all I need is pizza and a milkshake and we good to go here! what a preview of all the characters got me wondering how I only had the first game and not the second???this one looks so much better I always loved the music to tobal no 1 no.2 is just. as good. the graphics were defibatley ahead of its time and the characters. are none like anything I have ever seen before! just wild!
Such a gigantic waste that they didn't release this in the international market. This could have made it into a franchise, not as big as MK or Tekken or SF, but most definitely a very successful one.
In all seriousness, how many characters are there actually? And by that I mean how many different movesets are there. I can tell a lot of these characters are just clones of eachother.
Haven't touched this game since early 2000s but I remember it having more than 200 characters while there are like around 10 "regular fighters" if you haven't unlocked anyone yet. IMO, this is the best 3D fighting game on Playstation back then. Well, this game & Tobal 1 were the best 3D games in Playstation. I like Tekken 1-3 but they pale in comparison to Tobal 1 & 2 considering Tobal has an RPG game on top of the arcade fighting game
hmm honestly i'm kind of disappointed knowing that the '200 characters' in this game are just animals from the quest mode dungeons. i guess it would be ridiculous for Akira Toriyama to draw up 200 unique characters for a game, but it would've been awesome if it was like that. still seems like a good game though. thanks for taking the time to make this, also
your disappointment is odd, the real disappointment is that the like 80% of the characters are just palette swaps, really doubt Akira Toriyama would wanna design that many charatcers again not after making the dragon ball series. Besides he only helped design characters for Tobal 1 not 2
he makes new characters all the time though? like for every Dragon Quest game, all the other manga he's done, some for commercial stuff that isn't really known outside of Japan... he really doesn't seem to struggle creatively, ever. still, 200 unique characters would have been ridiculous, but cool as hell
Who knows how to get Cougar, Green Jelly, Father, Black Chocobo and Loader? I'm still struggling with that. I would like some help with that part, please.
200 characters, half of them are random animals and objects. It's like a program for 3D polygon testing.
What, you didn't like Brown Lizard? He's my favorite character
TheDeadred123 Dude. We all know Dog is SS Tier.
my favorite was Battle Emu @ 11:26

The true "Everyone is Here!" roster, well before Smash Bros.
This is more like "Every thing is here" rather than "Every one"... lol
Or “Everyone is here!” Tekken edition.
This game having 200 playable characters is very impressive even for PS1 standards.
@@SolarFarle I'f imagine if someone did a Tekken 2 mod where there is tons of characters.
Zeecarver. Yep man
The year is 21XX, everyone plays Wyvern at TAS levels of perfection.
If the roster keeps expanding at this rate, Tobal 3 is gonna have 5000 characters. Sounds like a PS5 selling point to me
I'd buy it! 😤
@@xmarksthespot1372 me too! I would be playing the game all day, although that would take about like 30-40 years give it take to make that many in today’s standards because of how advanced graphics are becoming.
If this was on Kickstarter, I feel like there would be an expensive backing tier.
Dog vs Black Dog is some EVO shit.
The most "Sega game" made by a non-Sega company.
They went overboard on the characters. I guess since the Tobal No. 1 only had 8 characters, they decided to add a couple hundred more.
Tobal No. 1 had a shitload of characters, too. In fact, a lot of these ones were also in Tobal No. 1. Most of these are NPCs.
They just added the people you default in Quest Mode to the roster. I just wish they had made this game playable in America, and they had CGI endings/actual storylines to aaaaallllll these people

@@jazztheartist If you want to help me ^^, I'm thinking about new characters or new textures for the characters 😁😍🌹💐💕💝
Amazed and impressed a PS1 CD-Rom could handle this much
The coders in this game were wizards. The rendering engine had high res, 60 fps and no texture warping.
@@NesrocksGamingVideoscan't have texture warping if there's barely any textures and just colored polys like FF7.

use an emulator fam
have u gotten to play it yet?
@@rampantfantasy1181 Yes! I got to play it this year :)
Ah. Calm 90's music.
I lost it at Giga Hammer and Alien's Cocoon.

looks like a gmod fight club mode
Strange that Dream Factorys fighting games like Ehrgiez, Kakuto Chojin, and Tobal are obscure compared to other 3D fighters. I guess it was because Tekken and DOA pretty much overshadowed them.
Silver Haired Devil IMO DOA was the best but Tobal was very close behind it followed by the rest
The bouncer was def their most popular
This and Fighters Megamix for the Saturn... the best fighting games of the 32-bit era!

Lindsay M. Some tekken staff were actually involved. Square and some namco folks also made ehrgeiz
Dog Man that game had a mishima too
Tureygua Ki STILL better stories than boobs or alive and virtua fighter
If Tobal no 3 was made, I would imagine they get the same crew who made Tobal 1 and Tekken 3, with Nobayoshi Sano as the composer.
Square should Remaster the Tobal Franchise in Toriyama's Honor.
Why do most of these characters seem to be just random assets they've turned into fighters.
+同時に because they are. 90%of them are quest mode npcs
What's really crazy is how each one has its own character design & a moves list
@@RayRae559 Aren’t all the monsters have the same move set?
@@farhanasharmin8997 Not at all. Some have combos, special abilities, bullets, different type of defense (even "none"), etc.

Also made by Akira Toriyama aka the creator of Dragon Ball!
It’s like Tekken/Virtua Fighter meets Dragonball or Tekken, but it’s made by Bird Studio.
Dont forget the RPG sistem inside the game that let you go out in countless dungeons and upgrade yourself. Very ahead of its time.
Rip Akira Toriyama
I'm convinced that when square asked toryama to make more characters for a new Tobal he just gave them his old sketchbooks and said "just use these and gtfo baka I'm trying to make dragon ball"
Dragon Ball was already over in 1997.
“I was gonna use some of these designs for Chrono Trigger or a new Dragon Quest game, but clearly you guys need them more. Here ya go!” 😂😂😂
this looks like a 3d mugen game
With all those NPC's and monsters it's almost Runescape The Fighting Game.
4:00 and you guys thought Piranha Plant in smash was crazy? This game was way ahead of its time.
this music is so nostalgic holy fuck
Mokujin is from Tobal?
7:41 Patrick confirmed a classic
This game was pretty much an asset tester for square
In memory of Akira Toriyama, I hope this game gets remastered or remake or crossover with Dragon Ball (anime and game) as a tribute.
I can't believe I only just discovered this game.
now I need to make a fighting game with a 201 character roster =b
Even patrick star is available on this game
And this game wasn't ported to America because... why?

You can emulate it (or play it on a PSP). An English patch is out.
And you can play as a priest to kick ass for the Lord! ;-)
(really, you can)
8:30 Oh hey, Toriyama's in the game himself!
Toriyama designs some characters 4 this games, thats why some characters looks likes they are from the OG Dragon Ball
Versus Sonic
and man that music is awesome
I'm a Patrol Drone main myself.
Giga Hammer and Alien's Cocoon are among my favorite-almost unbeatable for the AI !:)
Crazy, having 200 characters no one ever uses this to make mods of this game adding characters from Dragon Ball or mortal Kombat
It is a shame that this game never made a huge impact, it is outstanding
We thought MK Armageddon was the definition of quantity over quality, but this blows it out of proportion

"How many characters do you want in the game?"
"Yes."
...
"...how many textures do you want in the game?"
