Bought this game and was sorely disappointed.
OK I’m playing this game and it kicks ass. However, I am finding it hard as hell!! Is this a game where you have to rely on Ki much more than hand to hand? I beast on opponnets and to nil damage but, whip out the Ki blasts and it’s all over.
It’s much more effective in my experience to gain ki early on through melee attacks. Powering up simply makes you too vulnerable.
And yes, this game is much more difficult than previous Budokai’s. What level in particular are you having issues on?
Normal. However I have never played any ot the other Budokai games. So I’m sure there is a learning curve.
Woohoo!! I beat Great Ape Vegeta in the Saiyan Saga and unlocked all the fighters!! Ultimate Battle mode is pretty fun. I’m at Rank 87 with SS2 Pre Teen Gohan. The opponents are getting a lot tougher. Dodoria came in and put up a pretty good fight. But I beat him and went up like 5 ranks.
Do you guys think using custom fighters breaks the game any? Also, what about fighters that can regenerate like all the Buus and Piccolo? Are they considered cheap?
I just saw some trailers and vids of Tenkaichi and it looks SICK:tup: Can’t wait try it…since I don’t have PS2 (:lame: )…Ooo Ya…Does anyone know where I could find some vids with Oozaru’s in them???
yeah its all about ki. use throws and others hits to set up the big shots. cuz yeah, using alot of punches dont well unless u brolly or super trunks or someone wit a short smash gauge.
Does anyone have any good tactics for battling characters like Broly/Bojack in the Battle Gate? They pretty much ignore all my attacks and beast me.
haha yah super trunks, brolly and bojack have a super armor kinda thing. the only characters i found that it doesn’t work against are…super trunks, brolly and bojack. so if u pick one of them then u’ll be able to hit them and they’ll reel. if want to stick wit a regular character then to make them reel u gotta do the type of attacks where u hold square and ur characters loads up for the hit ( u dont need smash meter for them to reel either).
sidestepping and teleporting helps too, cuz their attacks are slow.
In the Battle Gate it’s especially easy, just repeat square, square, x and you won’t even have to learn a single advanced tactic. The AI not needing to block your attacks, never blocks your attacks, works on the monkeys too. Works when you’re using Mr Satan too.
I just ran away and spammed fireballs at them. Square, Square, Circle is’nt really effective against Broly/Bojack since they can just interupt your chain with a punch of thier own.
against the players who can just punch through your attacks, brolly, bojack, and android 16. punch combos and then teleport does work(for the computer). just punch combo, teleport behind them and punch combo again, and then stun them with X, and then throw them. charge up. ki blast four times and then immediately follow the ki blast with a finishing move. the computer usually will start throwing the ki blast away and then bam!, get hit by your finishing move, and since theyre so far away, you just keep tagging them and immediately charging up, repeating the same tactic. pounding on them with combos takes to much effort, even against the computer.
i dont think its really all about ki so much. this game definetely makes you use your whole arsenal if you want to win. the computer might not offer much, but if you keep blasting me with ki or trying to play tag with finishing moves. i can
1)dragon dash and spin through your ki blast
2)instantly teleport with some characters
3)throw them all away and build up my favorite technique gauge(the blue balls). which will allow me to instantly transmit with some characters and with some characters, you can also block any attack by doing the explosive wave technique.
4)keep dodgin and running and as soon as you begin to run low and try to charge up. dragon dash and start pounding you until your ki guage runs low and you have to mash the buttons to get out of dizzy mode, all the while, im man handling you.
there are alot of things to do. the evasive techniques in this game are nice. from character specific techniques, to simple teleporting and just dashing away, or side stepping.
i think its deeper than some might think, and is tournament worthy to me
Even with the camera flaws on solo play, I’m really enjoying this game. The 3D levels and techniques at your disposal really liven the game up and alow for a lot of stategy.
I’m still learning how to deal with “brick wall characters” (Broly, Bojack, #16) myself. Since they can interupt your punch/kick combo at any time, I really have to change up my strategy. BTW, is there any way to do a guard break on a brick wall character?
For anyone using any form of Goku, plan your attacks wisely because he SUCKS at charging up ki. I mean, I love Goku and his many forms but he’s got to be one of the worst characters when it comes to gathering ki. He’s a fighter that will seriously benifit from the might Ki Control Potara.
Anyone playing the Ultimate Battle Mode? It’s a lot of fun and puts a VF sorta spin on the game.
any Broly fans here? 
once uv got the game mechanics down this is very good, the best dbz game deffinetly
ape vegeta was pretty easy for me, the hardest probably was… trunks in ultimate battle mode lol not really but he was the most persistant
reply to the broly fan: he sucks lol friend keeps picking him, in a nutshell he’s clumsily invincible
First sorry if this has been talked about, only skimmed most the thread since alot of it was just b3 vs this game and I could care less to be honest shrug.
Anyway wtf, I got the game yesterday beat all the z gates blah blah simple enough, and now I was doing the tourment shit and why the fuck is the cell games so damn hard?
Ok granted I know, im ass. I suck. But im confused, is it so hard just beacuse I suck? Or is it so hard beacuse I suck AND the cpu is a cheating bastard? Its pretty frustrating. I dont understand how I beat all the other stuff so easily only to be having so much trouble with this crap.
Also wtf why is super vegito so shitty. Horrible finishing move, and why the fuck do his regular fireballs take like all his meter? Gawd… Im sure hes probably pretty decent somehow… but wtf Im hella disapointed in how he is in this game. (dunno how he was in any of the other ps2 games never played em but this game bah hum bug!)
On a final note, ummm im not sure if its my game, but for some reason my options dont save correctly. Like I save the japanese voices etc, but then when ever I turn on the game, its all in english again. Even though it shows all my options are to watch I switched them. So I have to go hit default every time I turn on the game, and then switch them back.
Im wondering if this is just my game? Or is this just some stupid flaw in everyones game. I already plan on takeing the game back(bought it in a moment of weakness shrug), but if I can say its cuz of my game is being gay. Id feel better about it.
Thanks
^ What Super Vegito are you playing? He’s good to me and his finisher does ASSLOADS of damage.
I think that happens in EVERYONES game. It sure happens in mine :tdown:
Umm the only super vegito thats in the game to my knowledge lol…
Umm im not talking about regular vegito. But super vegito gawt damn man… Just regular baby fireballs take a shit load of meter to use. And he doesnt build a shit load of ki very fast ethier.
As for his finisher… I dunno… It damage wise it seems terribly average. I mean come on, it goes NO where. Big fireballs beat it… hell just about anything beats it. If you try to combo into it from certian stuff the game is biased vs you and will just make the move wiff, it will just go through the guy for the few seconds its out and just refuse to hit the guy for some unknown reason. Also it would seem after you hit it at certain spots of the screen the other guy acctualy gets up before you even get out of the animation and can hit you. @_@(granted I guess ive seen this with other attacks as well… but whatever)
For the supposed strongest character in the dbz universe, he seriously got the shaft.
On another note are some fireballs unflickable??? or can certain characters not just flick them back? Ive noticed that krillians powered up fireball, well…appernetly its just to damn powerfull and is ethier unflickable or super vegito can not flick it back. STUPID.
Oh well I suck, so not like my opionon holds much weight, but ill still wait till someone prooves me wrong shrug.
If you’re talking about Kuririn’s Kienzan, then NOBODY can deflect that in the series or the movies without getting cut like a hoe late with her pimp’s cash, and apparently it holds true to the game, too.
