Hint: Special attacks:
Each character has three special attacks. To do a characters
special attack, press
A
+
B
+
R
. Your characters special attacks are determined by
where you are. You can do a Normal, Aerial, or Ground Special
attack. The arrow will point in the direction that your special
attack will be. It will take 50% to 100% of your power gauge to do
a special attack. Some attacks at 50% are different than when at
100%. Your character can also shoot a weak, normal, or strong Ki
shot. To do a weak Ki shot, hold
R
and press
B
. To do a normal Ki shot, hold
R
and
press
A
. To do a strong Ki shot, hold
R
then press
A
and hold it. To do your characters throw,
press
A
+
B
near your opponent. To Guard,
hold
A
or
B
. Pressing
A
results in a weak guard, but you can counter an attack faster.
Pressing
B
results in a strong guard.
Hint: Easy special attacks:
You need to press
R
,
A
,
B
for a "certain kill" shot or your "Special" However, all you need
to do is hold
A
, press and hold
B
, then
tap
R
. Timing is critical. This works for any type of
special move.
With Goku level 1, when your power is 100%, press
L
+
R
. Also, when your power is 100%, be at the very top
of the battle screen and press
A
+
B
+
R
. Goku will perform Spirit Bomb or Genki Dama.
With Goku levels 2 and 3, when your power is 100%, you must be at
the very top of the battle screen and press
A
+
B
+
R
. Goku will perform a Kamehameha Wave
with an Instant Transmission. Try doing this; when your power is
100%, be at the very top of the battle screen and press
A
+
B
+
R
simultaneously.
This can be done with other characters besides Goku.
Hint: Bonus battle:
Successfully complete story mode without losing any matches.
Depending on your character, you may fight a bonus battle after the
credits end.
Hint: Easier win:
To get an easier victory over someone, first immediately when the
match starts, do your super attack. Then, charge up to 100%. Let
your opponent charge to 50% or 100%. Let your opponent do his super
attack and immediately when the blast comes out, quick dodge it by
pressing the
D-pad
twice. Immediately when you dodge
it, do your super attack. Your opponent may still be blasting when
you blast. Therefore he will not move. Note: You are better off
doing this if your opponent is in a corner.
When you have enough points, buy #18 on level three. Then, do any
battle with her. She has infinite energy blasts because she is an
android.
At the start of the battle, before your opponent has a chance to
fight, use your weak attack by pressing
B
continuously. Do this until your power increases to 100%. Once this
happens, use your strong attack by pressing
A
. After
the strong attack, quickly use your super move by pressing
A
+
B
+
R
. Do this
repeatedly. The timing must be precise or your enemy will hit you
first. If you are losing, try using your super move and your strong
power shot (
A
+
R
) repeatedly until you
reach the correct moment to hit him. Note: Your opponent will dodge
your hits -- the timing must be correct.
Hint: Signature attacks:
Some characters use their famous attacks as in the Dragon Ball Z
television shows. For example, if you want to use Gokus Spirit Bomb
fly up the screen until you cannot move further. You must be on top
of your opponent at the very top of the screen. Also if you want
your special attack to be very strong, have your Spirit gauge at
100%. You cannot use the special if your Spirit gauge is below 50%.
Not all characters have their signature moves in this game. The two
that are common are Gokus Spirit Bomb and Friezas Death Ball.
Hint: Attack position:
When you use strong attacks, your position matters. For example, if
Piccolo at any level is on the ground with a Spirit gauge at 100%
and you use his special, he will fire a group of disks at your
opponent, and it will follow your opponent. Note: You can avoid
these disks.
Hint: Power-ups:
Certain characters, such as Goku, have special power-ups. You can
try this out in training mode. Your Spirit gauge must be at 100% to
use Gokus or another characters power-up. Then press
L
+
R
. Goku will be blinking red. He is using his Kaio
Ken (which is his power-up). There are other characters that have
power-ups. Also, different levels make a difference. If you are
testing out Gokus Kaio Ken, then first try his level 1 form.
Note: Be careful when using these power-ups. As you use it, your
life slowly drains away, giving you a very strong disadvantage. You
will not die when you use the power-ups; it will leave you some
life, but not much. If you get hit, you will die.
Hint: Easy DBZ points:
Go to the challenge mode and select the Saiyans team as your
opponent. Note: You must complete the other teams before you can do
this. The best characters to defeat the Saiyan team with is level 3
Gohan (you must have enough DBZ points to buy him), then level 1
Piccolo. The highest number of DBZ points you can get is 4.
Hint: Frieza: Easy kills:
When you are playing as Frieza at any level, get 100% energy and go
above the enemy. Use a certain long range kill (
R
+
A
+
B
) and he will use the attack that he
used to blow up the core of Planet Namek. This will start a timer.
Stall until the timer runs out, and your opponent will instantly be
killed. Note: When fighting multiple enemies, this will only kill
the one that you are fighting.
Hint: Frieza: Special power up:
When playing as Frieza, get 100% energy and press
L
while powering up. He will turn purple, making him a lot faster and
stronger. Note: This will cause his life gauge to go slowly
down.
Hint: Gohan: Vegitos costume:
When playing as Goku and fighting against Goku, notice that the
opponent Goku is wearing Vegitos costume. Also, if you are adult
Gohan and fight against adult Gohan, he will also be wearing
Vegitos costume. You can also be Super Saiyan Kid Gohan and fight
adult Gohan. Adult Gohan will be wearing Vegitos costume.
Hint: Gohan: Super powered:
When all of your team members are dead except for Gohan, he should
begin to glow and be stronger. Note: He must be level 1 or 2 for
this to happen.
Hint: Instant transmission:
In order to teleport without having a teammate, when you at least
have a small amount of Ki (20% will do). press
L
while
also pressing in the direction of your opponent. This is a good
strategy when your opponent is using a "certain-kill" move and you
want to do yours in order to attack your opponent from a blindside.
Note: This only works for Goku level 3 (he learns it before he
fights Cell) and Cell (because he has some of Gokus cells).
Hint: Winning teams:
This can be done in all modes except story mode. Because you cannot
have all level 3 characters in challenge mode, use the following
trick to win. If you have not unlocked the characters levels for
Android 18, Frieza, or Trunks, then do this. If you do not want
another character after you pick one character,
press
Start
and choose "Yes" The winning team should be
the following: Have Android 18 level 2 and have Frieza or Trunks at
level 2 and the other (depending who you selected second) at level
1. Have Android 18 level 3 and choose to have just Frieza at level
1 or Trunks at Level 1. Have Android 18 starts the game and use
rapid fire (hold
R
and repeatedly press
B
). When your opponent is on ground(you will notice
the gauge between players health flashing and your opponent is
still on the ground), use the Ex Power Shot (hold
R
then hold
A
for three seconds). Repeat Ex Power Shot
for three blasts. After third blast, let them have it with more
rapid fire. If Android 18 somehow dies, you will have Frieza. Make
sure Frieza has 100% Spirit. Some how go above your
opponent(probably after he has been hit with a smash downwards) and
use Friezas Special (Deathball). Make sure it does not hit your
opponent. If done correctly, the timer will appear. Fast dodge or
do whatever is needed to keep Frieza alive until timer reaches 0.
Your opponent will die in one hit and you will be still alive.
Trunks is just included for speed. If you want to defeat your
opponent quickly, use Trunks.

Frieza team: Defeat Heroes team
Goku team: Defeat Vegeta team
Majin team: Defeat Gokus team
