While some characters are clearly more powerful than others, they must be scaled to be at least close to each other in terms of power in order to keep all playable characters viable, and since Vegeta is a playable character in most Dragon Ball games, he is no exception. The result is a boss fight which feels like every other fight in the game.
The CPU controlled Vegeta may be differentiated with higher stats and hit points than the player, but for the most part, it is not different than fighting a friend who plays Vegeta. By contrast, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has no multiplayer components. This means developers are free to truly ramp up the power of enemies during boss fights.
When the player fights Vegeta on Earth, he is very clearly more powerful than Goku, and it takes a great deal of skill in order to overcome that power gap. This isn't just represented by higher stats, but by unique techniques available to Vegeta during the boss fight.
When Vegeta becomes a playable character in the next saga, the absence of these techniques doesn't feel too out of place, as it is understood that he is going up against much tougher opponents now. During the fight with Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot , the player feels truly threatened by his power.
Victory is not guaranteed, and the focus on the story up till this point makes the stakes feel even higher. Even though players know a game over screen and a reload button are all that await if they fail, it doesn't feel that way. The narrative is strong enough that it drives players to succeed, despite how uphill the battle may seem.
Especially for those who haven't seen Dragon Ball Z in quite some time, the scene acts as a reminder of how truly evil Vegeta was early on in Dragon Ball Z , especially compared to his behavior in the most recent Dragon Ball Super content. Finally, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot mixes in cinematic throwbacks to iconic moments with its combat. The fight is not simply a brawl between two characters fans recognize, but a complete recreation of the epic battle they remember.
Moments like Goku's Kaioken powered punch weave their way effortlessly into the fast and fluid battle, and it feels incredible to not only watch, but to take part in that struggle. In these ways, the final battle of the Saiyan Saga feels as climactic as it should, and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot does Vegeta justice unlike any game has before. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has done wonders for the franchise, its heroes, and its villains.
Fans are reminded of just how strong characters like Piccolo are when he faces down Second Form Frieza, and villains like Raditz are redeemed as more than just tutorial bosses, but real threats to the Earth. The story of Dragon Ball Z is retold in a beautiful and engaging way that allows fans to not just experience it, but interact with it, and includes many new nuggets of information and original content.
The fight with Vegeta is but one of many things that this game gets very right. Eventually, I gave up on getting a horse, and I drew monkeys every day. After that I drew bicycles. I just kept drawing the things I wanted. As a result, even though I misbehaved, at least I could draw well. That habit eventually grew into a job and I still continue to draw today.
