Hint:
Story mode replay: Once you have completed story mode once, you will notice that
there are some people missing, except for Gohan as a super hero and Hercule
who get unlocked in world championship mode. Go back to story mode and you
will see what you have done instead of starting a new story. Some of the
episodes will have "New" beside them. Go into those episodes to
get new players and new player abilities, such as a Super Saiyan for Vegeta.
Hint:
Tournament wins: When in Tournaments, instead of trying to kill the CPU opponents,
just lure them close to the edge of the ring. Tap X + Down to
move behind the opponent, then use a strong move to knock them out the ring.
The best way to take out an
opponent in tournament mode. is to do your P(4), E attack
several times, until you knock them out. Another way to win is to get near
the end of the ring, and when they approach you, press Down + X
until you switch sides with them. You can then knock them out of the ring
with a strong attack, such as a kick combo.
At the start of the match,
press P(3), K. This will knock your opponent into the air. Tap
Forward(2) to fly up there, then press P to bash them down. If
they do not fall out of the ring at first, bash them again.
Select any character (for
example, Goku). Lure the opponent to the edge, get behind him, and try to
knock him into the air. Before he falls, hit a Kamehameha and if you are in
the correct position, it will knock him out.
To pick up a cheap win, play as
Kid Gohan or Krillin. When you get matches with Recoome and other larger
characters, most of their punches and kicks will not hit you.
Use this trick for a faster win
in the world tournament level. You can do this with any character in the
game. When you first start, it shows them posing and getting ready to fight,
when the word "Ready?" appears, start pressing Left(2) or Right(2)
quickly, depending on what side of screen you are on. Your opponent will
start moving backwards closer to the edge of the ring. When the word
"Fight!" appears, use the P(2)K(2)E move and
they will go flying out of the ring. If you do not get the first punch, you
are on your own.
If you are at the edge of the
ring and your opponent is about to knock you off, do your character's grab
technique. Oddly enough, every time you execute a throw in tournament mode,
it sends you and your opponent straight back to the middle of the ring.
Keep pressing Forward + R1
until your opponent is out of the ring.
Use Teen Gohan (recommended),
Goku, or Cell. Use kick combos to get them to the end of the ring, then use
a Kamehameha or a few kicks or punches and they will fly out.
To win the advanced tournament
easily, create a custom Vegeta with the following capsules: Galick
Gun(Cannon), Galick Gun(Cannon), Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D, Super Holy
Water, and 1/3 Sensu Bean. In order to win, use the Gallick Gun constantly.
You will occasionally need to sidestep by pressing X and Up or
Down quickly to stay away from the corners of the ring. Using two
Galick Gun (Cannons) Capsules strengthens Vegeta's Galick Gun (Cannon). The
Super Holy Water increases your defense, the Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D
keeps your energy at maximum. The 1/3 Sensu Bean is just for insurance. This
trick also works for any character who can use a beam.
The easiest way to win advanced
tournament is as follows. Go to change capsules, choose a character, and put
Viral Heart Disease and Vaccine in the slots. Then, go to options and change
story mode and duel mode to very easy. Set the timer to 30 seconds. When the
battle begins, his health will start to decrease and keep doing so until a
certain point. By then, time should almost be up and you should win.
This trick works for all
characters. First, put on Viral Heart Disease and Vaccine. Then set the
timer to 30 seconds and enter the tournament. As soon as the fight starts,
shoot a Ki blast until your opponent reflects it back to knock you down.
Hold Down and wait until the match is over. Repeat this to gain easy
money.
Make a custom character that
has Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D, any technique that takes up one slot,
and either Rage!!! or Viral Heart Disease and Vaccine. Also, set the fight
time in the options menu to 30. Just keep using that attack and you will
defeat the opponent easily.
Hint:
Taunts: Taunting (press P + K + G + E) will
lower your opponent's Ki gauge by 1.
Hint:
Easy way to turn Super Saiyan: Get the Super Saiyan ability, then press R1 + R2 to
transform. This can be used for anyone's type of transformation. Note: This
can also be used to do the King Kai Fist and Unlock Potential.
Hint:
Attack boost: Add a Senzu Bean with Sayian Heritage. Your attack will be
boosted after the Senzu Bean is used. A normal bean takes up 3.
Hint:
Power up: Hold X, then press Away.
Hint:
Easier combos: If you are doing a combo that your having trouble with (for
example, the Super Kamahamaha (K(2), Right + K, K,
E), hold the D-pad and press the rest of the moves and it will
put in the arrows. For example, hold Right and press K(2), K(2),
E.
Hint:
Longer combo: If you put in two capsules with a description that reads
"attacks with oppressive force", the move will last longer and
have more hits than usual.
Put in two capsules with the
description that reads "attacks with oppressive force" to a
character, then add other attack enhancing capsules to make a one move death
killer. Note: This is best if used on saiyans.
Hint:
Allow two player custom skill level on one memory card: At the character selection screen in duel mode, have player one
choose a character first. Then, choose the custom skill setting. Then, take
the memory card in slot one and move it to memory card slot two. Player two
can now choose a custom skill setting without having two memory cards.
Hint:
Getting Zenie: If you get second place under the novice level you will get 5,000
Zenie. If you get first place, you will get 10,000 Zenie. If you get second
place on the adept level, you will get 15,000 Zenie. If you get first you
will get 20,000 Zenie. If you get second in the advanced level you will get
25,000 Zenie. If you get first, you will get 30,000 Zenie.
Hint:
Shenron: Within the game you can collect the seven Dragon Balls. In order
to get them, you have to buy them at Mr. Popo's shop. However, they are very
rare. They cost 8000 Zenie each and will only appear in a
"Recommended" or "Gambled" Capsule. After collecting all
seven, go to the Caps List option in the "Edit Skills" menu. Then
go along to the second to last list. If all seven Dragon Balls are present,
press X and you will be asked if you wish to summon Shenron. Select
"Yes" and you will be given the option to "Breakthrough"
three random characters. Breakthrough is a Capsule which will open all the
Death Moves, Transformations, and Physical Moves of the character in
possession. However, it takes up seven ability slots and cannot be equipped
in conjunction with anything else. After choosing your character, the Dragon
Balls will disappear and you will have to collect them all again.
If you do not like the random
choice of three characters that Shenron powers-up, restart the PlayStation2.
All your Dragon Balls will still be there when the game is resumed. Summon
Shenron again until you like the choice of the three random characters.
After you collect all seven
Dragon Balls, Oolong will say "Show yourself Shenron". A dragon
will appear and grant you a wish called "Breakthrough" for one
character at a time. This capsule contains all the moves for the chosen
person. Support capsules will not work with it. It requires seven slots.
After all characters have breakthroughs, the Dragon Balls can be collected
but the Dragon will not appear.
Hint:
Get Dragon Balls quicker: Go to the Skill Shop and go down to the "Recommended"
section. It will tell you what item it is. If it is not a Dragon Ball, exit
and re-enter the shop again. The Recommended item will have changed. Keep
repeating this until you see a Dragon Ball in the Recommended section. Make
sure you have enough money, as each Dragon Ball costs 8,000 Zenie.
After you complete story mode,
go back to it. Go to Saiyan Sage episode 3, Saiyan Attack. You will play as
Piccolo. You will first face five Saibaimen. Defeat them. Next, you have to
face Nappa. You will only have two thirds health though. Defeat Nappa.
Return and do this again as many times as you desired. Every time you defeat
Nappa the first time without losing, you will get a Dragon Ball capsule.
Go to the tournament and win a
lot of Zenie. Then, go to Mr. Popo's shop and buy everything in the
"Recommended" section. Eventually, you will acquire the maximum
amount of every capsule (9) and force the CPU to give you nothing but Dragon
Balls. This takes a lot of time, but eventually you will get every
breakthrough and stack every character's capsules up to 9, making them as
strong as possible.
Keep playing the tournament and
get to the finals. Even if you do not win, you will get money and unlock a
person and a new tournament. After you get 130,000 or more Zenie, go buy
capsules but only the two bottom ones. Do not gamble too much.
Hint:
Get Dragon Balls cheaper: If you do not care what kind of capsule you get, spend your zenie
on the Gamble capsules. You may end up getting rare capsules for just 3000
zenie instead of buying them for different prices under
"Recommended". You can also get Dragon Balls by gambling, and
getting them 5000 zenie cheaper.
Hint:
Keep and reuse the seven Dragon Balls: This trick requires three memory cards.
1. Save the original game on
the memory card A, then save it again on memory card B or copy it from the
PlayStation2 browser.
2. Create a new game and save
it on memory card C.
3. Go to "Trade
Skills" under "Edit Skills" with memory cards B and C and
in the PlayStation2. Trade the Dragon Balls from memory card B to memory
card C.
4. Remove memory card B and
replace it with memory card A. Go to the "Skills List", find the
Dragon Balls, and use them on the desired character.
5. Return to "Trade
Skills" and trade the Dragon Balls from the memory card C to memory
card A.
6. Repeat steps 1, 3, 4, and
5 until you have all breakthroughs for every character.
Alternately, use the following
steps, which only require two memory cards.
1. Get all Dragon Balls on
memory card A, then save.
2. Save it also on memory
card B.
3. Use the Dragon Balls on
memory card A on a character.
4. Trade Dragon Balls from
memory card B to memory card A.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until
you have all attacks for all the characters
Alternately, use the following
steps with three memory cards.
1. On memory card A (the one
that you want all the breakthroughs for), get all the Dragon Balls.
2. Make a new game on memory
card B, then trade the Dragon Balls from A to B and save.
3. Copy the information from
memory card B to a new memory card (C).
4. Trade the Dragon Balls
from memory card C to memory card A. Then call up Shenron on memory card A
and choose a breakthrough.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to
get all the Capsules.
Hint:
Adept Tournament Capsule: Play in Novice mode and become number one. Go to Mr. Popo's shop.
You will see a gray Capsule for 8000 Zenie. It is Adept mode.
Hint:
Advanced Tournament Capsule: Play in Adept mode and become number one. Go to Mr. Popo's shop.
You will see a gray Capsule for 8000 Zenie. It is Advanced mode.
Hint:
Frieza's Space Ship Capsule: Get 12,000 Zenie go to "Recommended" in Mr. Popo's
shop. When you see Frieza's Space Ship. pay the 12,000 Zenie. This Capsule
takes three spaces in Frieza's slot. When you die, Frieza's Space Ship
appears and restores everything. It also transforms you into Cyber Frieza.
Play through the Namekian Saga
under the hardest difficulty setting and defeat Frieza at all times without
losing once. The Capsule at the end should be Frieza's Space Ship.
Hint:
Gero's Perpetual Energy Capsule: To get unlimited energy, go to Mr. Popo's shop and go to the
recommended section. Leave and return until Gero's Perpetual Energy appears.
Every character can use it, but no transformations are allowed.
Hint:
The Legend Of Hercule (Mr. Satan) Capsule: Unlock Hercule and go to the Mr. Popo's shop. Buy the
"Advanced Tournament" Capsule and the one that appears next is
"The Legend Of Hercule". It is a new fighting mode, where you
recreate the events that the public believed happened during the "Cell
Games Saga".
When you select Legend Of
Hercule, make sure you have a Senzu Bean and custom Hercule. When you get to
fight Goku, your health will not replenish when you fight Gohan and Cell.
Hint:
Red Capsule: On world championship mode, if you win you get 10,000 Zenie and
second place gets you 5,000 Zenie. This is useful because when you go to the
shop and buy the Red Capsule, you will get some very good moves such as
Super Saiyan Trunks, Kamahamaha for Krillen, and even Super Saiyan Level 2
for Gohan.
Hint:
Super Trunks 2 Capsule: There is a capsule to get Super Trunks 2. It is stronger then
Super Trunks and is very helpful when fighting in the tournaments. You can
purchase this from Mr. Popo. The "Recommended" capsule section is
the best place to find it. Exit in and out of the purchase screen and the
recommended capsule should eventually appear as Super Trunks 2.
First, buy the Capsule for the
Adept level for World Tournament mode. Then, complete the Adept level with
Trunks. When you go in the Skill Shop, the Super Trunks 2 capsule will be
there for you to buy at the bottom as a Recommended Capsule.
Hint:
Trunks' Mystery Fiber Jacket Capsule: One of the rarest capsules in the game, this can be obtained by
buying the recommended capsule at Mr. Popo's shop or by completing the
Androids Saga episode: A New Threat.
Hint:
Extra capsule slot: When selecting Capsules for any Saiyan, half Saiyan (except
Saiyanman), or Cell, you can trick the CPU into giving you an extra slot.
First, use four slots for anything, then use the 1/3 Sensu Bean and Saiyan
Heritage. There should be an empty slot at seven. Next, replace the 1/3
Sensu Bean for a normal Bean. In effect, you will get a full Sensu Bean for
two slots instead of three. You cannot trick the CPU into changing the new
eighth slot into anything else.
Hint:
Getting Capsules easier: Go to story mode after you finish it. Finish any desired level
and you should get a Capsule. Although you cannot choose the Capsule that
you get, you might get a new Capsule that you need.
In order to collect all the
Capsules and even the Dragonballs without playing in World Tournament Mode
consistently to attain the money for them, just continue to play story mode
after you have unlocked all the chapters. You will continue to receive
capsules each time you play, and sometimes even a free Dragonball.
Eventually, you will have the maximum of every capsule and force the CPU to
give you Dragonballs. To make it even more simple, find a chapter such as
number 9 in the Namekian Saga (Raging Frieza) that gives you three Capsules
each time you complete it. The only capsules you will ever have to buy in
Mr. Popo's shop are the two World Tournament Capsules for Adept and
Advanced, and The Legend of Hercule Capsule.
Hint:
Burst Zone: When fighters simultaneously connect with an Energy Punch, you
enter Burst Zone. You will know when this is happening by the speed at which
both warriors are attacking and blocking. Rotate the Left Analog-stick
as quickly as possible. If you are the fastest, you will deliver a powerful
knock-back attack on your opponent upon exiting the Burst Zone.
The easiest way to win in the
Burst Zone is when you enter it, spin both the Left Analog-stick and Right
Analog-stick as fast as possible. This has the same effect as pressing
the directional buttons and command buttons all at the same time, but a lot
easier to do.
Hint:
Easy transformations: For easier transformations, enter the options screen. Select the
controller option then move over to "Custom". Hold L1 and
press Left or Right until you see P + K + G
(the transformation buttons). You will now have L1 as a
transformation button. Note: You can do the same thing with taunts; just
press Left or Right or left until you find P K G E.
To transform with any character
easier, press L1 + X. Your character will instantly transform
into a stronger character.
Select "Controller"
at the options screen and press X. Then, press Right until you
get to "Custom". Then, hold L1 and press Left(2). P
+ K + G should be displayed. Begin game play, then press L1 and you
should transform into your next stage.
Hint:
Transformations: You may have already noticed that your character will be knocked
out of his Super Saiyan Transformation when his Ki gauge goes anywhere below
3. By knowing this, you can determine several things in a battle. Note:
Super Saiyan 2 Transformations also are knocked out at Ki gauge 3. Also,
this has almost the same effect with Cell and Frieza's Forms.
Hint:
Easy win: To easily defeat an opponent, go to "Edit Skills" and
give your character a Viral Heart Disease Capsule and a Vaccine Capsule. The
Vaccine Capsule negates the effects of the Viral Heart Disease Capsule on
your player, and only your opponent will get their life drained.
Fight through the story mode
and/or the tournament mode until you can get the Senzu Bean, Viral Heart
Disease, Vaccine, and Kamehameha skills. Equip all four skills on Goku,
Gohan, or Krillin. When you now fight in a duel, allow your opponent to
knock your health down to zero. By this time, the Viral Heart Disease should
have depleted his health down to half of the last bar. The Senzu Bean will
replenish all of your health and energy. Finish off your opponent with a
four-punch combo and a Kamehameha.
Go into the options menu and
set "Difficulty" to "Very Easy", "Com" to
"Very Weak", equip the Vaccine, Viral Heart Disease, and a Senzu
Bean, Set the time limit to 30 seconds.. When the match starts, dodge for
the first fifteen seconds. The last fifteen seconds should deplete your
opponent's health. When the clock reaches zero, if you have not been knocked
out of the ring, you will be declared the winner.
This trick do the maximum
amount of damage and requires a controller with an auto-fire feature and
Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D. This can be with any character. Equip
Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D, then go to practice. Knock the CPU down.
While the CPU is down, set Circle to auto-fire for the Ki Blast Wave.
It will do damage over 10,000 and combos over 100.
Choose a small-sized character,
such as Krillin or Gohan. Equip him with Vaccine and Viral Heart Disease and
set the tournament to last thirty seconds. When you enter the tournament
with your custom character, the opponent's health will be going down. When
the thirty seconds are up, you will win. This is a very easy way to get
Great Sayiaman or money.
When fighting in any match,
press Guard until your opponent tries to throw a punch or kick. Then,
as quickly as possible, press Punch(3) then blast. Then, knock him or
her down with a kick combo. When an opponent is charging up their energy,
use this time to back away and be ready for them to charge at you.
Go to the options screen and
turn the difficulty all the way down. Try to block as many punches as you
can, let your opponent come to you. Try to think as the Z-fighters would. Do
the basic attacks Punch(3), Energy. It knocks the other
fighter down so you can gather Ki, or go in the fighters face and kill them;
or knock them out of the ring.
At the start of the match,
press Punch(3), Kick. This will knock your opponent into the
air. Tap Forward(2) to fly up there, then press Forward to
knock the opponent out of the ring. Punch also works, but Forward
is stronger. If it does not work, try it again.
When doing a "death
move" such as the Kamehameha, Buster Cannon, Destructive Wave, Photon
Shot, Power Blitz, etc., press Start at the moment just before it
explodes on your opponent. The move will cause more damage. This may require
some practice.
Unlock Great Saiyaman, and use
Justice Punch then Justice Kick.
To get an easy win with any
character in tournament mode, equip him with Gero's Perpetual Energy
R&D, Vaccine, Viral Heart Virus, a specialty move (such as Galick Gun ,
Kamehameha , Destructive Wave, or Warp Kamehameha). When you battle, your
opponent's life will go down, but not yours, from the virus. Because you
have the Perpetual Energy R&D, you can do your specialty move as many
times as desired after a punch combo. Also, since your Ki is always maxed
out, when you block it will not go down and you will not take damage.
This tactic may take some time
to complete, but it is worth it. First, set the timer to 30 seconds. Next,
select any character and customize him with a vest of any kind, Viral Heart
Disease, and Vaccine. Enter the Advanced Martial Arts Tournament, select the
character that you customized, and send him into battle. Once started, just
let your opponent knock you down. When you are on the ground hold Down
to stay there. The CPU will try to punch, kick, and do other moves, but will
not hit you. You can stay on the ground and the time will run to zero. The
heart problem will take care of your opponent. The opponent may hit you a
few times, but it will hurt you very much, if any. You can win all the
matches in about five minutes and get 50,000 zenie quickly. Repeat this to
get more money.
Note: This trick requires a
controller with an auto-fire feature. Use Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D.
Set the auto-fire to Ki, then enter practice or duel mode (not tournament).
Get your opponent on the ground and hold Circle. If done long enough,
it will go into triple digit combos and extreme damage numbers.
Hint:
Defeating Cell in Final Battle: When the battle starts, notice that you have one third of your
health missing. Immediately hit Cell with a Super Kamehameha wave (Kick(3),
Forward, Kick, Energy). This should knock out about
half his health. Be careful, If you get too far ahead of Cell in health, he
will turn into a killing machine. After the wave hits, get rid of the rest
of Cell's life by doing punch combos.
Keep using physical attacks
without using special moves. Eventually his guard will break and you will do
more damage. This requires some practice, but you will eventually win.
Attack Cell with Spirit Bomb
five times and he will be finished.
Attack Cell with Hercule's
Present For You two to three times and he will be killed.
Hint:
Defeating Cell in all forms: As soon as you start, back up. Your opponent should run attack.
Jump back and Kick(3). Repeat this until all his health is depleted.
Hint:
Legend of Hercule: Put a Sensu Bean on Hercule before you start. You will be
revived, but only during the Goku, Gohan, and Cell fights. You will just die
in the other battles.
Use Hercule's Present For You
on each opponent twice and they should be killed.
Hint:
Grassland level: Make a large bolder fall on enemy: When battling in practice or duel mode in the Grassland, you will
notice two large boulders placed on opposite ends of the arena. Push your
opponent towards them and get very close to the boulders. Do a combo move
that ends with a power strike facing towards the boulder. You can also hold Forward
and hold R1 for a few seconds to charge up a hit, then release,
causing a power punch. This will cause the enemy to go flying into the
boulder. You may have to move around to find the correct point to send them
flying into. You will see a short intermission with the bolder breaking off
of the mountain and falling on top of them. You can also do this to the
other boulder on the opposite side of the arena. This will also give a
smaller battling range once the boulder is removed. To do this again, just
return to the arena. Note: This bolder does 500 damage to the opponent.
Also, if you look closely at the mountain, you will notice there is a
cracked portion. Slam them in the middle of the cracked portion and it
should break off, doing 500 damage and falling on them.
Hint:
Kami's Lookout level: Easy opponent damage: Get your opponent to the edge of the lookout, then do a strong
attack. They will fall off and you will follow them down. This will take off
about half their green life bar.
Hint:
Restore life: To get life without going into the rejuvenation chamber on Namek,
go up closely to the chamber without going in. You should see your life bar
fill.
Hint:
Powering up: Hold X and tap Back(2), and hold Back after
you tap it again.
Hint:
Destroying arenas: If you enter any battlefield with walls that touch against the
field, push your opponent against the wall and do an Elbow Smash (Toward
+ Toward Hold + Punch) or some other hard hitting attack. Your
opponent will be smashed into the wall, dealing the damage of the attack as
well as an added bonus. This can also be done for higher walls and moves
that will knock somebody outside of the ring.
To make an arena a smoldering
crater, select a character with an Ultimate Move (for example Goku's Spirit
Bomb or Trunks' Burning attack). Then, use the Ultimate Move. Note: You
cannot destroy the World Tournament, Hyperbolic Time Chamber, or Kami's
Lookout (when you are actually on the Lookout) arenas.
Go to versus or practice mode
and choose a character that has an Ultimate Attack, such as Trunks or
Frieza. Use it on a character and after the blast you should see that Planet
Namek is almost about to blow up with lightning and tornadoes.
Use a powerful energy attack to
turn any battle into a desert wasteland. The following attacks can do this:
Perfect Cell's Spirit Bomb, Trunks' Burning Attack, Android #16's Hell
Flash. Deathball and other attacks should also have the same effect.
To obliterate the Cell Games
arena, choose either duel or practice mode (recommended). Play as Teen Gohan
and press Kick(2), Right, Kick(2) for the Super
Kamehameha in Super Saiyan 2.
You actually can destroy Kami's
lookout. Use a Spirit Bomb to turn it into a crater. When battling, equip a
fire Ki Blast Wave capsule x2 to hit them with 16 hits. If you can equip a
character with a Long Combo x2, it will do a 42 hit combo (only with Tien,
Goku, Gohan, Trunks, and Cell).
Hint:
Hidden area: You can destroy Kami's lookout with Goku's Spirit Bomb or
Hercules' Present For You. After you destroy it, you will fight in an area
with a lot of dirt and a few mountains.
On the island stage, hit your
opponent into the rocks once or twice. They will shatter and you will fall
into a cave-like stage with waterfalls in the background.
Hint:
Field transformation: When playing as Trunks in practice mode, go to the grass land and
use his burning attack. You will fight in a hole that Trunks made with his
attack and the trees will be burned to a crisp.
Hint:
Android 17 and Android 18: Extra damage with Power Blitz: When you do a Power Blitz close up, pause game play just before
it hits your opponent. Resume the game and it will do up to a full bar of
damage.
Hint:
Android 17 and 18: Recommended skills: If you choose not to use, or do not have the Breakthrough Capsule
for Android 17 and 18, these are a very good substitute. By giving them all
these capsules, it will have every one of the attacks that come with their
Breakthrough capsules except for Buster Swing (#17/18). This is not included
because its main use is to cause damage if you have low Ki or to buy time to
gain Ki. With Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D, #17/18 will never lose any Ki
on any energy attack. You may want to experiment with switching out Power
Strike with a Senzu Bean if desired.
Power Blitz (#17/18)
Energy Field (#17/18)
Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D
Power Falling Star (#17/18)
Power Strike (#17/18)
Hint:
Captain Ginyu: Easy win: Put Captain Ginyu on "Custom", and choose him with the
Body Change and Super Kami Water capsules on. At the start, your health will
decrease. Then, change bodies and you will see your opponent's health
decreasing. Rarely, your opponent will change bodies back and your health
will still decrease.
Hint:
Cell: Recommended skills:
Kamahmaha
Kamahmaha
Second Form
Perfect Form
Spirit Bomb (Cell)
Improved Special Clothing (or Andriod Barrier)
Senzu Bean 2/3
Hint:
Cell: Easy tournament win: At the beginning, go towards your opponent then hold Forward
and keep tapping Punch. You will eventually knock them back. Run to
them, and when they get up, either do it again or hold Forward and
keep pressing Kick to get a ring out. This will work if they do not
block. If they block, then block them until you think you can punch them
then do the punch or kick combo. If you have Viral Heart Disease and
Vaccine, customize him with them. If you cannot get a ring out, then you
will at least defeat them with a K.O.
Hint:
Freiza: Recommended skills:
Final Form
100% Final Form
Death Ball
Freiza's Space Ship (Freiza returns to life as a cyborg, and your life bar
fills up completely. You can also use the Death Ball in this form.)
Hint:
Ginyu: Recommended skills:
Milky Cannon x 2
Geros Perpetual Energy
Potential
Hint:
Gohan: 45-hit combo: Have Gohan's Throw skill and Fierce Ranma skill or his
Breakthrough Capsule. Grab your opponent, and when he is falling do the
Fierce Ranma ability (Kick(2), Away, Kick, Energy)
and Gohan will launch into the attack.
Hint:
Gohan: Recommended skills: Use the following capsules for attack power 160%.
Super Saiyan
Super Saiyan 2
Potential
Kamehameha
Super Kamehameha
Hint:
Goku: Recommended skills:
King Kai Fist x2

To perform the most powerful
attack in the game all you have to do is edit Goku with:
King Kai Fist x2
King Kai Fist x5
King Kai Fist x10
Spirit Bomb
Spirit Bomb
Saiyan Spirit
Super Kami Water
After you charge up to King
Kai Fist x10, your attack will increase to 190%. Then, do the Spirit Bomb
and you will do 2280 damage.
Another way to get a high
attack with Goku is as follows:
Sprit Bomb
Saiyan Spirit
Super Kami Water
Potential
King Kai Fist x2
King Kai Fist x5
This should get you about up to
220. If you do a lot of up close battles and do not like the combo energy
attacks, you can switch the Spirit Bomb with King Kai Fist x 10. You can
also exchange the Spirit Bomb for a move that moves a bit faster, reducing
the block percentage.
Use Super Dragon Fist x2 and
you will have an over 40 hit combo.
These skills will make Goku so
strong that he gets an attack power of 200, which is the highest in the
game.
King Kai Fists x2 to x10
Super Sayian
Super Kami Water
Saiyan Spirit
Set up the following Capsules:
Kamehameha x2
Warp Kamehameha
King Kai Fist 2
King Kai Fist 5
King Kai Fist 10

then, highlight the 1/3 Senzu Bean and change it to a full Senzu Bean. Note:
The Senzu Bean trick only works when Saiyan Heritage is on.
Gero's Perpetual Energy

1/3 Senzu Bean
Set up the following Capsules:
Spirit Bomb
Spirit Bomb
Saiyin Spirit
Super Kami Water
Potential
King Kai Fist x2
Wait until Potential gives
you the full 30% to your power and it should be about 200% or 210%. Then,
use the Spirit Bomb and it will do 2520 damage. Do the same with Vegeta,
but with Big Bang and Super Saiyan.
Set up the following Capsules
for Goku at attack power 180%:
King Kai Fist x2
King Kai Fist x5
King Kai Fist x10

Hint:
Goku: Easy win: Use the following trick to win a match of any kind with Goku.
First, unlock the capsule for Warp Kamameha. Then (optional), get a lot of
item capsules such as Saiyan Spirit to power-up Goku. Go to "Edit
Skills" and give Goku Warp Kamameha and any other desired skills. Then,
when you pick your character, choose custom Goku. When the match starts, use
Warp Kamameha. When your opponent is down, recharge your Ki (press X
+ Away(2) and hold). Repeat the process and you should win with three
or four Warp Kamamehas.
When playing as Goku in
tournament mode, equip him with power-up moves/items and two Warp
Kamehameha. It should do a full life bar of damage.
Hint:
Goku 80-hit combo: Go to practice mode and select Goku vs. Yamcha. Get Yamcha to the
top of the level by pressing K, K, Back, K. Goku
should kick twice, then follow with an upward kick. Once you do this several
times you should be at the highest point. The only way to tell is when
Yamcha falls backwards then floats. When he falls, hold Forward and
tap P (but not too fast). By the time Yamcha hits the ground, you
should have gotten 80 hits. Goku may also get 40 hits when he is equipped
with two Super Dragon Fists.
Hint:
Great Saiyaman: Recommended skills:
Gero's Perpetual Energy
Senzu bean
Two of any desired moves.
Set up the following Capsules:
Gero's perpetual energy
One desired move
Serious (1/3)
Senzu Bean
Hint:
Hercule: Easy tournament win: Get your opponent near the edge and use Dynamite Kick. The last
kick should knock him out.
Go to the tournament and get up
to five Ki gauges. Press X, Square, Triangle (High
Tension), then quickly press X(2), Left +X, Left
+X (Present For You). Use this strategy to get easy victories in the
tournament or "The Legend Of Hercule".
This trick requires High
Tension and Hercule's special and works on any level in tournament mode.
First, push your opponent back with punches until you get them about five
feet away from the edge. By then, you should have enough to power up to High
Tension. As soon as you get the chance, execute Hercule's special. The move
will make Hercule drop his exploding device and launch him straight at the
opponent, which should knock them out of the ring. If not, you can pick up
from there; since the attack takes off at least one bar of health, you can
just beat them instead. Another to win instead of using the Hercule special,
do the same steps as in the first part of the strategy, then push your
opponent to the end of the ring with punches. Then, do the Dynamite Kick. If
you are not too close to the edge, it will knock the opponent out. However,
if you are too close, the move will change or turn a different direction
when it is being performed.
Hint:
Hercule: Easy win: When the match starts, use Present For You. When your opponent is
down, recharge your Ki. Do not turn to Super Saiyan as this will make your
Ki decrease slowly. Repeat the process three or four times and you will win.
Use the following trick to win
in advanced tournament mode. Before the fight starts (when you can see
yourself and your opponent), move towards them and press Punch very
fast. You will get a slight edge by punching the opposition early. Punch
four times then press Energy (Dynamite Kick). Hercule will jump up,
do a kick move, and then do a big kick and knock the opponent back on the
ground. Run up and do the Dynamite Kick as many times as needed to kick them
back and out of the ring. Note: When you knock them back the first time, you
can knock them out easily by pressing the D-Pad towards them twice,
and on the second time, hold it. You will jump in the air and fly very fast
towards them. Then, by either pressing Kick ,R1, or Punch,
it will hit them (with some timing) out of the ring.
Hint:
Hercule: Recommended skills:
High Tension
Super Kami Water
Present For You x2
Potential
Cheering
After you become High Tension
and Potential is done, your attack is at 190%. Then, use Present For You. It
does 2280 damage, and more if you hit the opponent.
Hint:
Krillin: Recommended skills:
Kamehameha x2
Berserk Fist x2

Also try the following setup.
Note: If you are a fairly moderate to good player, you should be able to win
tournaments easily. Stay away from sides and do not worry about K.O.s; the
Senzu Bean revives you and gives full energy so that you can automatically
turn Super Saiyin 2 and use Ultimate Kamahameha.
Super Saiyin
Super Saiyin 2
Senzu Bean
Ultimate Kamahameha
Jackhammer
Hint:
Teen Gohan: 41-hit combo: Add two Fierce Ranma capsules to Teen Gohan. When you enter the
combination, he will do the attack like usual, except it will last longer
and do 41 hits. Note: Sometimes it only does 38 hits.
Hint:
Trunks: Recommended skills: The strongest possible move in the game will take away 2999
points of damage. Each character starts off with 3000 points of life. In
order to do this give Trunks:
Super Saiyan
Burning Attack
Burning Attack
Super Kami Water
Potential
Mixed Blood Power
Once in a fight, use his
Burning Attack. It will leave your opponent with 1 point of life. Just one
more hit and they are done.
Hint:
Trunks: Easy tournament win: For a ring out, use Punch(2), Kick(2) to knock your
opponent close to the edge of the ring. Next, use a series of kicks, or Punch,
Kick to knock them out. For a knock out, once you get Super Trunks,
Super Trunks2, and Super Saiyan, this will be easy. At the start of the
match, turn Super Saiyan instantly. Every second counts. Gather your energy
by powering up or repeatedly attacking your opponent. Launch a Burning
Attack. Doing this should weaken him. You can then avoid losing by staying
away from the edge and knocking your opponent's lights out. Also, once you
get Dr. Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D move, equip Trunks with it. Then,
have two Burning Attacks, a Finish Buster, and a Senzu Bean. If you have any
more slots, equip as them as desired. Then, once the match begins, you can
have nonstop Burning Attacks until your opponent is defeated. Note: With
this move, transformation is impossible. All the special moves listed can be
bought at Mr. Popo's skill shop.
At the start of the battle use
Trunks' grab attack. He will get them close to the outer edge of the ring.
While they are getting up, tap Forward(2) to dash to them. After they
are up, use Trunks' kick combo (Triangle a few times) until he does a
roundhouse kick to knock them out of the ring. If this does not work, as
when your opponent counters your kicks), keep trying.
Hint:
Vegeta: Recommended skills:
Use the following skills:
Super Sayian
Big Bang Attack x2
Sayian Spirit
Potential
Super Kami Water
Go into practice mode and once
his attack goes to 210%, use the Big Bang Attack and it will instantly do an
overkill. Note: You must get in the full combo.
Use the following skills:
Super Saiyan
Super Saiyan 2
Final Flash

A recommended World Tournament
Skill combo For Vegeta is as follows. Your opponent's HP Gauge will decrease
rapidly and you can use Galik Gun as many times desired.
Galik Gun (or Final Flash)
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine
Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D
Hint:
Vegeta: Easy tournament win: Before entering world tournament mode, go to edit skills and
equip Vegeta with these capsules: Senzu Beans, Super Saiyan, Super Vegeta,
Gallick Gun(Cannon), and Big Bang Attack. Go into world tournament mode, and
when "Fight" appears, start kicking. When your opponent is sent
flying through the sky to the ground, hold X and tap Away(2),
then hold it. Release X and Away. Then, keep kicking again.
Repeat this until you reach Vegeta's maximum level. Turn into Super Vegeta.
Then, press Left + Square, Square(2), Triangle, Circle
(Big Bang Attack). It takes out one and a half Life. Repeat this until your
opponent is defeated.
Do Final Flash, then run up to
your opponent and press Kick. Then, do a kick combo.
Choose normal Vegeta at the
character selection screen. When the match starts, use Final Flash. When
your opponent is down, recharge your Ki. Do not turn to Super Saiyan as this
will make your Ki decrease slowly. Repeat the process three or four times
and you will win.
Hint:
Yamcha: Easy tournament win: To easily win a tournament, select Yamcha as your fighter. As
soon as the battle begins, use the Wolf's Fang Fist (making sure the
opponent does not block the four punches; if so do not use the move and just
block until a chance is given). The seventh hit will knock your opponent
into the air and the final attack should hit the opponent out of the ring.
If the opponent does not go out, knock him back near the edge then use the
Wolf's Fang Fist (once again making sure that they do not block the four
punches).
Hint:
Yamcha: Wolf Fang Fist: After performing the Punch(4), Energy, you can
continue to press Energy up to seven more times and get more hits
than just the normal four. This will also increase the damage to the
opponent.
Hint:
Dr. Brief's throws a bomb: In the "Edit Skills" screen, go to change capsules.
Select one of the androids and wait. Look at Dr. Briefs to see him throwing
capsule boxes. Watch carefully and you will see him throw a bomb.
Hint:
Increased damage: If you equip two of the same ability, you will do a lot more
damage. For example, if playing as Vegeta use the following: Final Flash x2,
Big Bang Attack x2, Super Sayian, Super Vegeta, 1/3 Senzu Bean. Your attack
for Final Flash and Big Bang will be higher.
Hint:
Charge your own energy: To charge your energy, rotate the Right Analog-stick
clockwise. This works best with Piccolo.
Hint:
Real voice after transformation: A character's voice will remain the same, even after
transformations. Do a special attack to hear their real voice, such as
Perfect Cell's Spirit Bomb.
Hint:
More authentic dialog at beginning of the fight: To have dialog that has to do with story mode or the series
Dragon Ball Z, pair these two fighters together: Krillin and Android #18,
Frieza and Goku, Vegeta and Goku, Android #16 and Goku, and Trunks and
either Androids #17 or Android #18, Piccolo and Teen Gohan. If you pair
these fighters as indicated, you will hear different dialog pertaining to
the story mode, or the relation between the characters. Certain character
pairs may also have different dialog at the end of the fight. Note: Great
Saiyaman always says the same thing no matter what, but it always has to do
with "Justice" or "Evil".
Hint:
CPU counters: if you guard most of the time, the CPU will eventually do a Power
Punch or Power Kick.
Hint:
Double K.O.: When in tournament mode with both you and your opponent have low
life and both of you kill yourself, the game will announce a Double K.O. and
both of you will lose.
Hint:
Using two custom characters with one memory card: At the character selection screen, choose the first character
(player one or two),while the other player waits. After the first player
chooses, remove the memory card from slot one and put it in slot two. You
should now be able to choose another custom character for player two.
Hint:
Ki Ball tennis: This has no purpose other than a laugh, and will not unlock
anything in the game. Enter practice mode (or two-player duel if you want to
play with a friend) and choose your characters and stage. When the fight
starts, put as much distance between you and your opponent as possible. If
in practice mode, set the opponent's action to Deflect-Back at the pause
menu. Once you are as far away as desired, launch an energy ball by pressing
Circle. In practice mode, your opponent should knock it back at you.
Just before the ball hits you, press guard (X) and if it timed
correctly, it should be reflected back at the opponent. In a two player
match, you can play it like a proper game. For example, flip a coin to see
who serves (launches the energy blast). Set a score limit. If the Ki ball is
knocked away, hits, or is hit by another Ki blast, whoever reflected the
ball last gets the point.
Note: Go to Mr.Popo's shop and
buy the Gero's Deflect-Back R&D (which will enable you to deflect Ki
balls by holding X). If your friend does the same thing, you can play
Ki tennis all you want.
Hint:
World Tournament references: Some characters will say different things to other characters.
For example:
Goku against Gohan (wins):
"Wow, you've gotten stronger, Gohan."
Goku against Frieza (beginning): "You never learn, do you?"
Trunks against Android #16, #17, or Cell (wins): "I did it,
Mom!"
Goku against Android #16 (beginning): "Hey Gloomy Gears."
Hint:
Higher combos: To make someone's hits higher, just add any move on to them that
has a description of "Attack with oppressive force". Then, add
whatever else you want to the character. It is recommended that this be done
to Kid Gohan or Teen Gohan because their attack can get at least forty hits.
Select a fighter that shoots
out quick Ki blasts. Then, put Gero's Perpetual Energy on that person and go
to practice. Choose a fight against a big opponent (such as Dodoria or
Android #16). Knock them down with an attack (such as Kamehameha or Buster
Cannon), then keep using Ki blasts very quickly for a long time. The damage
and hits will go up.
Glitch:
Disappearing Frieza: Wait until Frieza teleports, then use your character's
combination beam attack. If done correctly, Frieza will have vanished until
the attack is completed.
Glitch:
Knock back Frieza or Cell 1 form: When fighting Frieza or Cell in there perfect forms, defeat them.
Immediately after you defeat them (after it says "K.O.") press Ki
Blast. They will change into the form before their perfection.
Glitch:
Wrong name: When using the Gallic Cannon as Vegeta, he says "Galic
Gun" instead of "Gallic Cannon".
Glitch:
Wrong restart location: In duel mode, when you perform the death move "Spirit
Bomb" and you fight in a crater, once someone is defeated and it asks
you "Battle again?", select "Yes". You will reset the
fight in the crater made by the spirit bomb, and not in the arena that you
started fighting in the first place.
Glitch:
Wrong voice: When playing as Perfect form Cell, oddly enough he will speak in
the voice of his form before absorbing 17 and 18.
