Interesting...
Well, I played the released version of BFP (with the Rodney models, of course), and I think it's a lot better than ESF in ESF's current form. Gameplay-wise and environment-wise.
It was actually possible to hit people with a ki beam without them being stunned, which is the main problem I had with ESF.
Bid for Power has some serious balance issues, however... that homing Kienzan attack is just cheap (the disk is indestructable, takes off over 70 percent of your health for each time you're hit, AND it only takes a very short amount of time to charge it up as well so you can fire tons of 'em at people), Rage or the Angry Gohan attack as it was called before all the un-dbz-ifying (look it up, I'm SURE that's a word.
) changes took place is pretty cheap as well.
In the end Bid for Power was a huge disappointment (I had spent a year on their forums for something I thought was going to be incredible and turned out only to be just good), but it was still fun and overall... a good mod.
In comparison ESF's good, but not nearly as good as Bid for Power's final product RIGHT NOW in my opinion... but it has the POTENTIAL to blow Bid for Power out of the water... it's up to the developers at this point.
Assuming they don't get shut down like Bid for Power did and DBQ probably has (or is going to... for some reason the people at Infogrames have something against the Q3 engine... probably because their games look like reprocessed shit).
I'm going to be watching this mod's development with great interest.
