Everyone says Tenkaichi feels more like the anime.
But I don't remember EVERY fight being so.. spastic. Sure, there's moments, but the entire series seems to replicate one or two high spot moments, and ignores the more conventional, down to earth fighting styles that Budokai recreates..

Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
You could fight flying around and teleporting just fine in Budokai. But you don't get the hands waving all over the place, kids on a sugar high style of fighting all that often like Tenkaichi does it.
Look at Goku vs early Freeza or Vegeta in the anime. You could make out punches, kicks, and movements there. You can actually tell what's going on.
Tenkaichi think s EVERY melee is like Vegeta wailing on Captain Ginyu in Goku's body, or Piccolo and Goku spastically waving at Brolly and not doing anything.
Basically, if Tenkaichi was a wrestling game, it would be nothing but "high spots" (Think stunts, like a Frog Splash, or some Lucha style cartwheel out of the ring.)

Budokai was a better fighting game though. It had better mechanics, better detection animations, better moves, and better innovations like the beam clash, and the super techniques just being more fun.
They dropped that in Tenkaichi so you could have a more open world, but everything else felt basic.

Budokai is a far better fighting game. There is no contest.
I had way more fun with Budokai Tenkaichi 3 though. Split screen is ass however.
Because Budokai Tenkaichi gives you a 3d environment to move around in. Budokai is restricted to 2d. That made it more immersive to me.
Also, DBZ was down to earth to you?

It varied though. The ultra insane choreography was usually relegated to the nothing fights, while main battles like Cell, Freeza, Vegeta, or even Buu were more methodically, deliberately paced out.
And wish they'd release an hd remake of Tenkaichi, because the prices are pretty insane now for the 3rd one. Just like Budokai 3 was before the HD pack, and Infinite World is working it's way up to..
Funny how Tenkaichi 2 is a totally reasonable 20 bucks second hand, when it's not "that" much of a step down over 3..

Let's say I wanted to give the that style of gameplay another chance, but didn't want to spend 70-100 dollars on Tenkaichi 3 (I regret selling Smash Bros. Melee when it was only 15 dollar's, too. Hindsight's a *****.)
What would you recommend? Raging Blast, Xenoverse, what?

I loved that! I always used First Form Frieza and since he had a Scouter I would pretty much auto lock on the opponent as long as they aren't Androids. So I would run and hide as the match was starting so they would have trouble locking on to me. Then I would spam Ki blasts like a dick
The Tenkaichi games better capture the feel of the series. You can fly around the level..destroy buildings, etc.
With the Budokai fighting games it was just your standard street fighter type game. You couldn't really explore the levels or anything, you could just kinda fly straight up into the air.
Nothing beats being able to fly underwater, etc. and just go around the level raining down destruction.

Even in Budokai, most of the characters had a lot of the same looking moves, like throw and melee attack animations (ki blast specials were the main exception to this), just they were given different names.
