DBZ: Budokai 3 Tutorial vid

The video was impressive, btw does everyone play on pad or stick?

I got a budokai 3 question. In the game when your pushing back a hyper move(Father-Son Kamehameha,Hellzone grenade) How do you actually charge the meter. I know in Budokai 2 it was mashing, but I cant figure this one out.

CrimsonSouls: I’m assuming you talking about the ultimate attack. If so, there are two bars. There’s the big bar and the small bar. You’ll notice that the small bar is constantly filling up and then going back to zero, over and over. You have to press x at the peak of it, when it’s almost full. The closer it is to being full and when you press x, the more bar you gain in the “big bar.” Whoever at the end has the most “big bar” wins. It’s confusing shit to explain, but that’s my try at it.

dont u have the B3 booklet which is inside the game? because that explains it to you its on page 5 3rd one down.

Wow, I always wondered that too. Thanks :clap:

Goten’s infinite is still in this game.

But of course you can get out of it with that teleport behind thing.

Question. If you are getting combo’d while back turned can you still do that teleport thing?

Yep. EVERYTHING can be countered, back turned or not. Even ultimates.

Goryus: you did an amazing job with the tutorial man. Do you happen to have a list of moves that are chargeable and can be guard cancelled? If not, make one! :stuck_out_tongue:

any tips on charge canceling? i was trying it with adult gohan and either it didn’t come out at all or when i cancelled it i couldn’t continue an attack.

also i’m trying to unlock all the characters and how do i get all the customized move to edit some of the characters that are not in the dragon universe IE Android #16. the characters that are not available in the dragon universe are only available to be played as “normal” and normal has very few moves. How do i get more moves which will allow me to customize them?

with zenie(money in dbz). you get money by winning it in tournaments and random ??? in dragon universe. after that go to the skillshop and spend money getting new skills for the newer and old characters

This is the top tier

  1. Piccolo
  2. Gokou
  3. Dabura
  4. Gohan
  5. Teen Gohan

Kid Buu might end up being better than Teen Gohan, but that is being tested. Kid Buu has one advantage, and if it actually works in real combat, then he is ahead of Teen Gohan.

Piccolo and Gokou are pretty much the Gods of the game. Masters of Gokou and Piccolo will never lose to masters of just abut every other character in the game. Needless to say, at the mastery level, Budokai 3 becomes an incredibly broken fighting game, suffering balance issues that might very well go beyond MVC2. But at the lower levels, the game isn’t very broken.

that game is crazy fun!

its definetly the best one yet.

what makes them so strong and how are brolly and the other characters in the game can u post a full top tier to buttom tier list

hey dbz guy… Every time I go for the spirit bomb I keep getting this Defense wins… dude i mash like crazy - I rotate fast and still nothing… Any tips thx in advance…

Read it.

lol (no offense intended) but u dont mash the button like crazy and u dont rotate when going for an ultimate attack heres the instruction from the booklet
"Once you launch an ultimate attack a gauge appears at the bottom of the screen. Each player must try to press a button at the exact moment the gauge fills – the player who comes the closest “wins " that round. This happens three times, and the player who wins the most rounds succeeds. If it’s the attacking player, the Ultimate Attack does its full damage. If it’s the defending player, some of the damage is blocked.”

ahhh many thx…Im a MvC2 player so I mash “everything”:slight_smile:
Thx again…

hah i know what u mean

Goryus, if only you had AIM or something so I can message you vids on how much better I’ve gotten ‘cause of your tutorial. Sure the vid may suck, but it shows some TC’ cancels as well as Guard Cancel combos :clap:

LMAO
…but I know the feeling…
Well I got the game and have been playing on and off and have had a few problems…

  1. gathering enough ki for transformations
  2. landing ults in the B3 combo vid - I saw a nice way off of a knockback from transformation - but most chars don’t have one
  3. actually attacking
  4. Is there an actual use for dodging? Its quick, but the time cut off from dodging isn’t ever enough to truly counter unless its the last hit of an attack string

Number 3 is prolly my biggest problem. The game has “offense” written all over it - yet it seems whenever I attack first I get dicked. with the nature of most combos and attack being “knocked far away” - you basically have to “get back” into combat - and in that process I always end up eating either a dodge, TC, or something worse. I’m basically new to DBZ games - the last one I even rented was on the playstation 8+ years ago - but I’m having a horrible time transitioning from rushing down in MvC2 since there are no low attacks, overheads, cross-ups, and throws seem to have real flaky priority, or in CvS2 no poking at ALL in this game, let alone trying to work their defense with high/low games. In matches I just want to scream because I feel that it isn’t even about fighters IQ - its a form of just turtling - not full fledge turtle but - forcing the opponenet into a certain playstyle that you can quickly and easily counter and predict. The best I’ve been able to do can’t do consistently yet - is dash towards my opponenet and hit :l: + Guard to reset my position to neutral - and then try to attack, but I spend so much thought into that step alone that my opponenet can simply bait me into a throw, chain, etc.

Now here’s some food for thought - its been mentioned but I’m having a difficult time with it. In Vs play - should custom be allowed? I want to say they shouldn’t be allowed - yet playing with normals - I see huge gaps in move sets which lowers my intrest in playing those characters no ults for one thing. On the flipside - Customs get broken…quickly. IF Goku can manage a lvl 4 transformation - it hurts.
