(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Basic Picture of Button Layout- _ _|K|_ |P E| -|G|- (*) (*) (*) (*) Chapter IV) Practice Mode (*) (*) (*) (*) (A)-Practice Mode Practice mode is a free style arena where you control one character. You can use it this mode to practice difficult techniques and other strategies. You can make the computer stand still or fight back if you want. In this mode you will never run out of life and your energy can be set at max by pressing SELECT button. There really is nothing to this mode. -Display Information On the practice mode screen is a small display at the bottom (if you have it turned on). This tells you the statistics of your character and what kind of damage he is doing. Example of the Display Max Hits 0 >Actions: Observe the gauge the hand cursor points at. That is your health. When you get hit, it'll go down an amount depending on how strong the attack is. !Raditz: If you reduce your opponent’s health to level to zero, you win! Don't let your guard until you're sure it's gone! +Tip: Check your enemy’s health gauge to see how much they have left compared to your health bar. Some times knocking them threw walls and using trump attacks will help you pull through even if you are behind! !Raditz: This one shows your KI energy level! Special attacks like energy waves and finishing moves use up your KI energy. >>Actions: Observe the gauge with the cursor pointing to it. This is your KI gauge. This will deplete as you use energy attacks or power up into a higher form such as Super Saiyan 2 or Cell Level 2. !Raditz: If you deplete your energy, it will gradually return to this level. On the other hand, your energy gets beyond this level (the third bar), it naturally begins to decrease! So watch out! !Raditz: This gauge measures fatigue! You can raise your opponent's level of fatigue by performing an ultimate attack! >>Actions: Observe the icon the cursor points at. As it grows red your character's fatigue gets higher and higher. This may cause difficulties in fighting and using bigger attacks. *Goku: Hmmm... !Raditz: Just think of all we could do, Kakarot! Doesn't it get your Saiyan blood pumping?! *Goku: Yeah! Now I'll get Gohan back for sure! !Raditz: What!?! *Goku: You heard me! Give me back my son! !Raditz: Rrrr... So you're a weakling and a fool! Your a disgrace to your entire race! CLEAR Chapter 2) Movement and Basic Attacks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami Explains: Next, we will cover the fundamentals: Movement and basic attacks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !Piccolo: We don't have time to waste! The Saiyans are on their way! *Gohan: Okay! !Piccolo: The first thing you need is a change of clothes! *Gohan: Uhhh... !Piccolo: We'll be doing some intense training. But first you must master the basics! You're no good to anyone if you can't move when it really counts! *Gohan: R... Right...! !Piccolo: So let's start with movement. Press forward to Advance, press back to retreat. Try it! >>Actions: Using the directional pad walk forward to touch Piccolo and back. Walking around a while will also trigger Success. Woah... Intense! ^.^ !Piccolo: Next is stepping. Press left or right twice to step forward or backward. >>Actions: Tap the back and forward directional buttons and make Gohan go back and forth. You'll get a success easily here. !Piccolo: Next is rushing. Press left or right twice, but hold it down the second time. Try it in both directions. >>Actions: Tap and hold the button forward to dash forward and repeat only tap the back button and hold to fly backwards. This is a rush. You may have to do it a few times for the game to say Success. !Piccolo: You can dodge poorly executed attacks by shifting your body. Press the G button and up or down. *Actions: Tap Up or Down while holding X button to jump around your enemy. Do this both ways in a complete circle to complete this task. !Piccolo: But if you're evading all the time you'll never be able to defeat your enemy! Good! It looks like you've got your movement under control! Let's move on. *Gohan: Okay! !Piccolo: Now for the basic attacks. Punch with the P button and kick with the K button. Give it a try. >>Actions: Kick several times with the Triangle Button then punch a few times with the Square Button. !Piccolo: Push the attack buttons continuously to put together combination attacks. Have at it! >>Actions: Punch several times in and row then kick several times in a row to complete this task. !Piccolo: Good. You can change your technique by pressing left or right when you attack. Be sure your opponent doesn't read your attack when you use combination moves. You can also attack while rushing. A rush attack is an effective technique. Charge!!! >>Actions: Use the dash technique learned earlier (tap and hold the forward directional pad button). When you are close to Piccolo keep dashing and use punch just as your about to run into him to rush attack him. !Piccolo: Next is guarding. Guard with the G button. Even when you block, you still take some damage, so be careful! >>Actions: Defend yourself from Piccolo by simply holding the X button until it gives you the success. I activated Burst mode on accident while holding guard when he hit me. !Piccolo: Well done. Don't ever forget these basics, no matter what kind of situation you find yourself in! -The Sky Darkens- Huh? *Gohan: Bu... But, it's the middle of the day! Why did it get dark all of a sudden? !Piccolo: Shenron...So, Goku has returned... CLEAR Chapter 3) Controlling KI energy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami Explains: In this training exercise, you will learn to control your KI energy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !Krillen: Alright, Gohan. Let's try some image training. Close your eyes, and visualize Planet Namek. *Gohan: Right. I can see it. !Krillen: Now, if you're not careful, the Saiyans will spot you on their scouters. You need to control your KI energy. You got that, Gohan? *Gohan: Yes. !Krillen: Good. Then try gathering your energy. Hold down the G button and press back twice. >>Actions: Hold down the X Button and tap the back button twice holding it the second time. Your character should start to have smoke or dust swirl around him as he powers up. !Krillen: Next, let's try firing a blast. Press the E button, and you can throw an Energy Wave. >>Actions: Tap the Circle button several times to fire multiple KI blasts. !Krillen: How 'bout that! Like father, like son! Let's try some more. If you time your blocks right, you can deflect an Energy Wave or knock it back at your opponent. Try it both ways. >>Action: When Krillen fires a energy blast at you, block it by tapping X right as it's about to hit you. You have to do this twice, once hitting it away and once reflecting it at him. !Krillen: Wow! I'm impressed! Maybe I should've done some training with Piccolo, too. That's all I've got for you. Nice work. *Gohan: Thanks, Krillen. CLEAR Chapter 4) Finishing moves and Combination attacks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: You must now learn to use such tactics as Finishing Moves and Combinations to your advantage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !Vegeta: Hey, son of Kakarot. *Gohan: Y... Yes... !Vegeta: We need your help in the battle against Frieza. You're still young, but you may be of use. *Gohan: Oh... !Vegeta: Let's see if you're worth your salt. You need to be ready to launch a Finishing Move at any time. Fallow these commands. >>Actions: Press right on the d-pad while pressing the circle button at the same time to do Masenko. !Vegeta: Hmm. Not bad. But, if you do it with a combination move, It'll be even better. Try it with these commands. >>Actions: Press Punch, Punch, Punch, Punch, Energy (S, S, S, S , Circle) to perform a stronger form of Masenko !Vegeta: Now we'll practice a KI Burst. Counter my Finishing Move with one of your own. When the KI burst starts, push all of your buttons as fast as you can. And be warned -- I won't hold back. >>Actions: A tricky part, but easy enough. Fire your beam at the same time he does his then rotate the control stick or press buttons to have a little struggle between his blast and yours. !Vegeta: I suppose that will do. When the time comes, fight boldly like a Saiyan. Until then, I need to catch up on some sleep. *Gohan: Yes... G. Goodnight... Thank you very much. CLEAR Chapter 5) Transformations ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: This exercise will teach you about Transformations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !Goku: Ha ha! I give a pretty mean haircut, if I do say so myself! *Gohan: Thanks, Dad. !Goku: Alright. Now that you've become a Super Saiyan, I'll teach you more about KI energy. !Gohan: Great! Thanks! *Goku: Here's the deal. Finishing Moves and Energy Waves use a type of energy called KI. If your KI gauge is full, your attack will be strong. If it's low, your attack will be weak. So it's important to keep your KI energy as high as you can during a fight. *Gohan: Got it. !Goku: Now. I'll have you charge into a Super Saiyan. When your KI is high, transform by pressing P, K, and G all at one. >>Actions: Press the L2 trigger or P, K, and G at the same time to become a Super Saiyan. !Goku: Hey... Nice work, Gohan. Great. That's enough for today. How about being a good boy and massaging your dad's shoulders. *Gohan: Alright, Dad. CLEAR Chapter 6) Advanced Dodging Maneuvers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: You will now begin training in the more advanced defensive maneuvers, such as rolling and dodging. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Videl: Oh, Gohan... !Gohan: V... Videl... What are you doing...? *Videl: Well, I thought I'd come and practice my Flying Technique with you. Do you mind being my sparring partner? Well there's no one at home to practice with... Dad's pretty lazy when it comes to training... Well, here goes, Gohan. !Gohan: Wha... Hey...!? >>Actions: None. The game will make Videl attack at Gohan who will counter by rolling back onto his feet and go back to more talking. *Videl: How... How did you roll like that? !Gohan: When you're going down, hit the G button. Do you want to give it a try? >>Actions: Wait for Gohan to hit you then hit X before you fall to roll. !Gohan: Yes, that's it. *Videl: Alright! I'm going to go all-out now! >>Actions: None. The game will make Videl attack at Gohan who will dodge all of your punches and go back to more talking. *Videl: What? I can't hit you? I've never seen anyone do that except Dad! !Gohan: You can do it, too. Videl. Watch your opponent's attack carefully, and hit the G button at just the right time. >>Actions: Hit the X button while he swings at you to dodge his punches, after a few dodges it'll give you Success. *Videl: Yeah! I did it!!! !Gohan: Just be careful, because your KI level will go down each time you do it. *Videl: But, Gohan! You were going easy on me weren't you?! !Gohan: Uh? Huh? Well... No! *Videl: I see... You're hiding your full strength until the World Tournament. Okay, I can wait until the Championship. !Gohan: Uh, alright... *Videl: You're going to practice with Goten now, right? I'll leave you boys to it, then... !Gohan: Alright. And Hey! You did great! *Videl: I'll see you at the World Tournament. Bye! CLEAR Chapter 7) Teleportation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: There are still more advanced techniques that you must learn, such as Teleport and Pursue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Vegeta: Trunks! Are you ready?! !Trunks: Yeah. !Vegeta: Then pay attention! Gohan has been training his brother for the World Tournament. Don't underestimate him. He's going to be very difficult opponent to beat. You need to be ready! *Trunks: Okay! !Vegeta: I'm going to teach you to Teleport. This will drain your KI energy, but it's an important move when you're in a bind. I'll demonstrate. Now, attack me! >>Actions: None. Trunks will fly forward and attempt to hit Vegeta, whom flips and strikes Trunks from behind. *Trunks: Wha...? What happened? How'd you get behind me?! !Vegeta: This is Teleporting. It allows you to move behind your opponent at an extremely high speed. Time your move with you’re opponent's attack. Press the G button and towards your opponent. >>Actions: Use The X Button + Forward when he's about to attack you. Trunks will fly behind Vegeta. *Trunks: Ha! I went behind you, Dad! You can't get me! !Vegeta: Don't get cocky! If you can do it, your opponent can do it, too! Don't forget!! *Trunks: Okay. !Vegeta: Good answer. Next, I'll teach you "Pursue" After you've sent your opponent flying, pursue him and knock him back again. Press the E button while he's in the air. >>Actions: Use the L2 button to knock him in the air, right when you hit him press the Guard Button (X) to warp around and hit him several times. !Vegeta: Okay. That should be good. *Trunks: Hey, Dad... Aren't we going to go to the amusement park? !Vegeta: Hmph. After the World Tournament! And... Only if you beat Gohan's kid brother. *Trunks But... But... CLEAR Chapter 8) Hi-level Fighting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: Now for the advanced offensive maneuvers. Learn to perform a Charge Attack and a Guard Crash. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Trunks: Are you ready, Gohan? !Gohan: Yes, let's do it. The androids are gone for now, so we can get some practice in. *Trunks: Alright. !Gohan: I'll teach you some tricks to break your opponent's guard. First is throwing. Get close to your opponent and push the P and G buttons simultaneously to throw you opponent. >>Actions: Walk to Gohan, and press L1 to throw him. !Gohan: No problem. If you are about to be thrown, you can block it by trying to throw your opponent, too. Next is charging. It doesn't matter if your opponent is guarding when you charge. Try these commands... >>Actions: Press forward and R1 to break his guard. !Gohan: And finally, during a rush attack, you can also do a Guard Crash. Use these commands to attack... >>Actions: Press forward twice on the d-pad then hit R1 to break his guard. !Gohan: That's good, Trunks. Another attack is to use a stand-off. If you enter a stand-off, you can take one attack. Try these commands... >>Actions: Hit R1 as Gohan hits you to knock him away. !Gohan: When two opponents enter a stand-off, you will see a burst of light. Push the buttons as fast as you can. If you win, you'll throw your opponent. Give it a try! >>Actions: Use the R1 at the same time he does to enter burst mode, then pound as many buttons as you want or rotate the control stick. !Gohan: That's enough for today. *Trunks: Is it?... I... I just wish I were a Super Saiyan. Then I could be strong like you... !Gohan: No need to rush, Trunks... You're still young, and you're getting stronger by the minute. You'll get there. And when you do, I'll probably need you to look out for me. *Trunks: Okay... Oh, yeah, Gohan... Why don't you eat at our place tonight? My mom will be happy to see you. !Gohan: Well, alright. Sounds good. CLEAR Chapter 9) Hyper Mode and Ultimate Attacks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: This training will prepare you for Hyper Mode and Ultimate Attacks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !Piccolo: We've entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but we still don't have time to waste! You have to prepare to face Buu. *Gotenks: Ha ha! Yeah! And we've already thought of some awesome new attacks! !Piccolo: In order to perform an Ultimate Attack, release your KI energy and enter the Hyper Mode. Press the P, K, G, and E buttons at the same time. >>Actions: Hit R2 to transform into hyper mode instantly. !Piccolo: That's an impressive display of power! But you can only release your KI energy for a limited period of time. Before you run out of KI energy, press the P, K, G, and E buttons again to launch an Ultimate Attack! >>Actions: Press R2 while near Piccolo, to use your ultimate attack. !Piccolo: Woah! I've never seen an attack like that! *Gotenks: Pretty cool, huh? I should be able to take care of that Buu creep, no problem! !Piccolo: Don't be over-confident! You still have a long way to go before you can defeat Majin Buu! Keep practicing *Gotenks: Yeah, yeah. Fine! CLEAR Chapter 9) Dragon Rush ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: You are now ready to learn the Dragon Rush. This tactic will prove invaluable in the many difficult battles ahead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Cell: Grr... What happened? Why can't hit that Gohan brat with an Ultimate Attack? !Freiza: Don't you know, Cell? You can't just use Ultimate Attack anytime you want. *Cell: What?!? !Freiza: If you launch an Ultimate Attack against an opponent before his Fatigue gauge is full, it's easier to escape full damage. *Cell: What?! I didn't know that! So, what do I have to do to raise my opponent's fatigue? !Freiza: You use a Dragon Rush. If you press a different button than your opponent during a Dragon Rush, you can make your opponent fatigued. Let's say I'm your opponent. Go into Hyper Mode and use a Pursue Attack. >>Actions: Use the L2 button to change into hyper mode then hit your opponent in the air using the pursuit technique to enter Dragon Rush. *Cell: Perfect! Ha ha ha ha ha! Now, no one will stop me! !Freiza: Go, then, and annihilate those vile Saiyans! *Cell: I will, if I ever get out of H.F.I.L (Home for Infinity Losers) !Freiza: ...... CLEAR Chapter 10) Item Capsules ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: The time has come to learn about Item Skills. Remember, knowing when to use them is just as important as knowing how. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Goku: Hey, Bulma. I need a way to make myself stronger. !Bulma: What?! You're kidding, right? Didn't you guys just beat Majin Buu? *Goku: Umm... !Bulma: Well, alright. I suppose there's one way... *Goku: Really?! !Bulma: If you still want to be stronger, this is about all that's left. *Goku: Huh? A capsule? !Bulma: Give it a try. Hold down the G button and push down on the directional buttons twice. >>Actions: Hold the X button and hit down twice. Notice, the capsule healed him two bars on his health meter. *Goku: Hey! Lunch! Yum!!! This will definitely give me strength! !Bulma: I told you! It's call an Item Skill, and it can give you a big advantage during battle. *Goku: C'mon don't you have any more? I'm still hungry! !Bulma: You can only use one during a fight. If you want more, you'll have to wait until you get home. *Goku: Hmph. Well, I'll bet I can get something else to eat from Chi-Chi. Thanks, Bulma! See you!! CLEAR Chapter 12) Final Secrets... I promise it's not taunting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kami explains: This will be your final training exercise. Calm your mind, as you absorb these secret techniques. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !Yamcha: There's still one more super-secret technique you can use to win a fight. *Tien: Super-secret technique? !Yamcha: That's right... The most awesome technique there is... Taunting!!! If you can get in a good taunt against your opponent, you can lower his KI energy. Hold down the G button and press on the directional pad twice when you don't have any Item Skills. I'll show you. But it'll take some serious training to be able to pull this off as cool as me. >>Actions: None. Yamcha will attempt to taunt, Tien will knock him down and taunt first. !Yamcha: Wha...? *Tien: Don't forget. If you hit your opponent while he's taunting you, you won't lose any energy. I'd say that pretty much wraps up our lesson for the day. Keep practicing. !Yamcha: Uh? Wha...? Wait...! CLEAR That is the ending of the training mode. You will get an item skill "Bibidi's Pot" for completing the entire training mode. Item: Bibidi's Pot Slots: 3 Effect: Random effect activated from among all Item Skills. Buttons: G + down , down during battle. Characters: Everyone can use this item. Comments: Can only equip Item Skill once per tray. (*) (*) (*) (*) Chapter V) Ultimate Attacks (*) (*) (*) (*) Ultimate attacks by far, have baffled more people in this game than most other attacks. Ultimate attacks are powerful attacks, that can go either way depending on fatigue, skill, and timing. During an Ultimate attack, two bars appear on your side, and on your enemies side. When the small bar rapidly fills, you tap the X button as close as you can without going over, or you will be penalized. Do this to increase your bigger bar. If yours is bigger at the end of the short time, you'll do more damage. Either way, you'll do some form of damage. (*) (*) (*) (*) Chapter VI) Dragon Universe Questions (*) (*) (*) (*) Q.
