This game is based on the anime and manga Dragon Ball Z.
The modes on the title screen are:
Story Mode: Choose a character and go through the Cell Game, then DBZ
Movie 9 and (if you meet a certain criteria) DBZ Movie 10. The choices
are really only relevant to the story and not to the game, so you don't
need to know Japanese to play.
VS. Mode: There are three subsections.
1P vs. 2P
1P vs. CP (the opponent is chosen randomly)
CP vs. CP
After the character is chosen, you have a set of choices.
Life-Press left and right to change the amount to anything between 400
(two full energy bars) and 10 (one hit needed to defeat you). This is
the handicap.
Attack Power-Light or hard. It's set on light. Another handicap option.
Game Rank-1 (easy) to 4 (hard)
Background-Choose the stage
Music-Choose the music
Tenkaichi Budokai (tournament)
Up to 8 players can compete. Any number of those may be human
controlled. All fighters that are not human controlled are automatically
controlled by the computer. Press start when you choose the last
character you want to be human controlled.
Options:
Sound-Stereo or Mono. Default is Stereo.
Music Test-self-explanatory
Sound Test-Self-explanatory
Battleground:
At the start of the fight, both fighters are on the same screen. If you
get too far away from your opponent, the screen splits vertically. If
you fly to a different level than your opponent, the screen splits
vertically.
Raising your ki:
Press Y + B to raise your character's ki. This will make your character
bend back and flare with ki. Meanwhile, your ki meter will increase.
Stuns:
If you throw a ki attack that you don't enough power to use, you'll
throw the attack, but you'll be stunned a little while afterward. You
can also stun yourself by throwing several kikouhas in a row. You will
be stunned, no matter how much ki you you have. You can stun your
opponent by hitting him with a few powerful attacks.
Super Blasts:
Each character has two super blasts. If the two fighters are close
together, the attacker will charge for a little bit and then fire a
large ball of energy. If the two fighters are far apart or on different
levels, the screen will cut to the person charging up the blast until he
fires. The screen will then cut to the defending fighter, who has four
options which are:
Guard: B + A Buttons
The defender shields him or herself with their arms. Takes 50% damage.
Repel: Back, Down-Back, Down + A Button
The defender catches the blast and then deflects it away. Takes 25%
damage.
Disperse: Forward, Back, Forward + A Button
The defender uses a ki shield to stop the attack. Takes no damage but
the ki meter is reduced.
Counter: Down, Down-Back, Back, Forward + A Button
The defender fires a blast, meeting the attacker's blast. To overpower
the attacker's blast, press the Y, B and A buttons repeatedly.
Super Meteo Attacks:
These moves do a lot of damage, but use no ki. They may only be executed
on the lower level of the stage. All Super Meteo Attacks require you to
be close to your opponent. Note: Cell Jr. does not have a Super Meteo
Attack.

To fight Brolly, go through the hard difficulty without losing a match.
Mr. Satan is the guy that fights Cell before you do. He is defeated
quickly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Fighting Strategies
------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, a general (every character) tip:
-If your opponent is stunned and in the air, hit him/her with a super
blast. If they're on the ground while stunned, hit them with the Super
Meteo Attack.
----------
Son Gohan
----------
Gohan's most effective weapon is his string of punches. They are quick
and can do significant damage. Also, if the final punch hits, then the
opponent is knocked down. The Diving Kicks can be used as a surprise
attack.
Gohan's normal attacks don't have much range, so you'll have to fight in
close. If you must fight a firefight, then fire the large ball of ki. It
does a good deal of damage and is difficult to dodge.
----------
Vegeta
----------
In general, your most effective weapon is the string of three hits.
Don't overuse this, but use it when your opponent is landing from a jump
or isn't expecting it. Always follow it up with the dashing elbow. Use
the Bakuretsu Ha to catch charging opponents off-guard. The Kienzan is
the most useless weapon you have. Don't use it often. And finally, don't
underestimate the usefulness of the Renzoku Energy Dan. The third blast
lags behind, so it can hit opponents who stop blocking after the first
two shots.
The range of Vegeta's normal attacks isn't great, so you must fight in
close. Use hit-and-run tactics to strike quickly.
----------
Trunks
----------
Trunks' main strength lies in his kicks. He gets great range on all of
them, particularly the jumping kick and the Super Sliding kick. Don't be
afraid to mix up the Super Sliding Kick with a normal sliding kick
(Down+B). Also, the Pump Kick (Toward+B) can surprise opponents.
As for Trunks' ki attacks, they all use a great deal of energy, so
constantly power up if you're fighting a firefight. The tri-blast will
cut through everything but superblasts, so it is a good option up close.
The shockwave is also a good option as it can catch opponents off guard.
----------
Piccolo
----------
Like Trunks, Piccolo's main strength is his kicks. His standing kick
will keep most opponents away, and if it doesn't work, use the Dashing
Kicks to knock them down. A good mix-up tactic to use is to jump and
kick your opponent on the way up and then use the Diving Kicks on the
way down.
Most of Piccolo's ki attacks are useless, except as surprise attacks, so
use them sparingly.
----------
Cell
----------
Cell's best overall attack is his standing kick. It has great range and
always knocks down. A nice attack to use is the two-hit string and then
a standing kick. If the string is blocked, then the final kick can still
hit your opponent and knock them down.
Cell's ki attacks are a mixed bag. The Renzoku Energy Dan is a great
move and can be deadly if preceded by the Taiyoken. The barrier of ki
can harm attacking opponents, but it doesn't have much of a use
otherwise.
----------
Cell Jr.
----------
Cell Jr. is almost completely useless. His attacks have little range,
but he is small and quick. Use both of these facts to your advantage.
Stay low to the ground and attack with either kicks or try the Diving
Kicks.
Also, you must attack with ki attacks if you wish to win. The Kienzan
and Renzoku Energy Dan can catch opponents off-guard and the Energy Dan
can juggle your opponent.
----------
Zangya
----------
Zangya's bread and butter are her strings of hits. The string of punches
followed by a diving kick can usually get at least two hits off of a
surprised opponent. The string of kicks is slower, but each kick is
deadly.
Zangya's normal attacks aren't the greatest in the game, but they aren't
horrible. Her standing kick can counter most charging attacks and her
punch in close can surprise opponents. However, if the punch is blocked,
you are left wide open to attack.
----------
Bowjack
----------
Bowjack's standing kick is a great weapon as it counters most charging
attacks and knocks down everyone. His strings are mostly just two-hit
attacks, but they are quick. The knee after the sliding can catch
opponents offguard easily if they do not know it's coming. The Bicycle
Kick is a valuable tool as it can easily knock opponents away.
----------
Son Goku
----------
Goku's seven-kick string makes him a great fighter. Even if blocked, it
still does a great deal of damage, and you are in position to strike
quickly after it. Goku's two-hit string and the Scissor Kick can be used
to surprise and damage charging opponents.
Goku's normal attacks make him mainly a close-range fighter. Use one of
the strings to get in close and then dominate inside.
----------
Brolly
----------
Brolly is easily the best fighter in the game. All of his normal
standing and jumping attacks knock down. You'll want to use his string
of kicks sparingly as it's easily blocked and when it is, Brolly is wide
open to attack. Don't bother using clotheslines against the smaller
fighters such as Son Gohan and Cell Jr.. Use the Bakuretsu Ha to catch
opponents off-guard.
Use standing attacks to keep opponents out of range and to knock them
down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Battle Chart
------------------------------------------------------------------------
By using the CPU vs. CPU option on the VS. menu, I had each warrior
fight each other in an attempt to see which one was the best overall.
The results are as follows.
1=Son Gohan
2=Vegita
3=Trunks
4=Piccolo
5=Cell
6=Cell Jr.
7=Zangya
8=Bowjack
9=Son Goku
0=Brolly
A '\' means not applicable (I didn't have mirror image fights), a 'o'
means a win and a 'x' means a loss.
To find who won where, find the number on the left that corresponds to
the first fighter, and go right until it meets the column with the
number of the opponent. For instance, Trunks defeated Son Gohan, but
lost to Piccolo.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
1|\|x|x|o|o|o|x|x|x|o|
2|o|\|o|o|o|o|o|x|x|x|

9|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|\|x|
0|x|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|o|\|
Tied for 1st: Son Goku (8-1) and Brolly (8-1)
These two won most of their matches due to their ridiculously long
chains of attacks. In fact, Brolly pretty much dominated everyone, but
was upset by Son Gohan. When Son Goku and Brolly fought, it was all
Brolly.
3rd: Bowjack (7-2)
Bowjack fought valiantly and only had trouble with Goku, Brolly and
Cell. The bicycle kick proved to be very useful.
4th: Vegeta (6-3)
Vegeta's chain of hits helped him win several fights. A variety of ki
attacks also proved useful.
Tied for 5th: Son Gohan (4-5) and Cell (4-5)
Both of these people used speed and charging attacks. Gohan's size
proved vital when he fought Brolly as just about all of his attacks went
over his head.
Tied for 7th: Trunks (2-7), Piccolo (2-7), Cell Jr. (2-7) and Zangya
(2-7)
Nothing much to say about these people. Zangya requires a large amount
of speed and finesse. Cell Junior's size helped him win a few matches.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Secrets
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be able to play as Son Goku and Brolly in the VS. and Tenkaichi
Budokai modes, press Up, X, Down, B, L Button, Y, R Button and X as
Gohan is flying toward Kami's Lookout. You should hear Brolly say
"Kakarotto." (sound 5D in the sound test)
