INTRODUCTION
I must firstly say that this game is abit of an odd ball. It's based
on the comic and animation series of the same name by Akira
Toriyama which is a big hit in Japan and Hong Kong. Since it's
never been released in the States and Europe, and unlikely to be,
the game will probably not be translated and released here. I think
for this same reason the majority Western gamers will not be at all
familiar with the characters thus finding the style of the gameplay
alien and hard to get akeen to.
What I aim to do here is to give abit of background information to
the story and the characters, hoping this will make the game easier
to understand and more enjoyable. So that more people can enjoy
this game which I think is a fairly honest and accurate translation
of a cracking comic/animation with an original game play.
Having said that, what information I can offer here is only from my
memory, mainly from reading the comic which had been going on
for a few years. I am talking about the Chinese translated version
here which is close to the end. Incidentally, the original Japanese
version has already finished ages ago.
The story of Dragon Ball basically follows the adventures of kid
Son Gokou . It is a fighting hero story in which through numerous
adventures and training under different masters kid Son Gokou
became a better figher each time surpassing his previous abilities.
Infact towards the later parts of the story, these fighters had
become so exaggeratingly powerful that a simple fireball can
create a crater the size of a city! Through all this kid Son Gokou
had encountered hosts of enemies but had also made alot of
comrades. About half way through the story, the author made an
unexpected but welcoming twist.
He made the cute kid Son Gokou grow up into a not so cute Son
Gokou. However this change actually made the story more
entertaining and popular. The name of the TV series was also
changed to Dragon Ball Z then.
The main story line of Dragon Ball Z basically consisted of a
number of major battles with a new enemy emerging everytime
and each one stronger and better than the previous one. In
chronological order the big main enemies were Vegeta, Freeza,
Cell and Majin-Boo.
You may have noticed that quite a few of the characters have
spiked golden hair. This is not their natural hair colour. The
original kid Son Gokou had black hair and a monkeys tail and
when he saw a full moon he would unconciously turn into a King
Kong like giant ape with massive destructive power. But when the
tail is pulled, he would be as weak as a baby. To prevent this
weakness, the tail was later chopped of.
It was later found out that he was not actually human but belong to
a war-like race of aliens,the Saiya-jin with superior fighting
abilities. Even later he discovered that he could actually exceed
the maximum fighting ability of his race thus turning into Super
Son Gokou (Super Saiya-jin) when he needed more power. Hence
the spiky golden hair.This was again exceeded later on so that
from Super Son Gokou comes Super Son Gokou 3 with even more
power.
The Basic controls for each characters are quite simple and
similar:-
There are two energy bars for each fighter. The top one is energy,
which goes down as you take a hit. Note different colours means
different multiples of the bar. e.g. it goes from blue to green to
yellow.
The bottom bar is the power bar which denotes your 'chi' which
decreases as you use a fireball. It charges up on its own very
slowly. When it goes down to nothing, you are then tired and is
not able to move for a few seconds. ( During which time you are
completely vulnerable to attacks)
Notations:
S = Square button F/B = Forward / back on the directional
buttons
X = X button U/D = Up / Down
O = Circle button UF/ DB = Up forward / Down
backward...etc.
qcf= quarter circle forward = D,DF,F
qcb = quarter circle backward = B,DB,B
hcf = half circle forward = B,DB,D,DF,F
hcb =hale circle backward = F,DF,D,DB,B
T = Triangle button
S - basic punch
X - basic kick
O - basic fire ball ( causes the power bar to go down)
T - fly This is actually a form of martial arts when you use your
'chi' to move your body in the air!
L1/R1 - to speed along in the R/L direction on the ground or in
the sky
Hold down either X, O, or S - to recharge your 'chi' quickly. You
will have to do this quite often. You
will see your character has some
sinuous energy around him.
( Noteyou are vulnarable to attacks during this.)
F or B + S (when you are close to the opponent) -
for a close range attack.
FIREBALLS ( all the direction here assumes the opponent is on the
right)
all the characters has basically three types of special-move energy
projectile attacks
1)continuous or spread-out fireballs (depending on the character) -
qcf + O
2)Medium strength energy attack - hcf + O
3)Super Energy projectile attack - qcb,F + O
note from 1 to 3 uses progressively more Chi energy and thus will
cause more damage.
4)Release of Chi ( few of the characters has an invisible fireball -
the strength of a normal fireball ) - B (hold), F + O
note also a basic fireball can collide with and dissipate another
basic fireball and an invisible fireball. Whereas a medium fireball
will be needed to cancel a medium one and so on.
Of course, there are also the Unblockable Fireballs
(read on)
DEFENSE
1)Basic block - B or DB ( you can block a kicks, punches and
basic fireballs with this but will take
some damage from a medium to Super fireball)
2)Breaking a Medium/Super Fireball - S +X ( when done right you
will see your character's arm
lash out and no damage will
be taken. Have to time this
one, ie when the fireball is
near you.)
3)Energy Shield - qcb + O ( this will also block the fire-
balls but will cost you your
Chi energy depending on
the length of time)
4)Quick Step - tap B twice (you can avoid fireballs this way, again
need timing though.)
5)Run away! - R1 or L1 ro T ( I've found by far the best method is
to avoid the fireball by moving
away quickly)
HYPERMOVES (RUSH)
For most Hypermoves to work, one needs to stand close to the
opponent and the first punch or kick of the move must connect
with your opponent. Hypermoves do not use any chi energy.
1)Player vs computer - self-explanatory. The computer will
randomly chose your oppponent after you
have chosen.
2)Player vs Player
3) Tournament - It's one player, you and the computer will each
choose a number of characters to enter the
World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament.
You can choose the same character more than
once. Then the computer will draw up a match
table to see who will fight against who. The rest
is pretty straight forward. Note this is an import-
ant mode of game play because Son Gokou's
adventures in the comics repeatedly brought him
back to this tournament which was held every
three years.
4)Build Up - this is where by you can pick a character and train
him to become a better fighter with an increasing
energy bar as a reward each time you beat an
opponent. You can then save this character on to the
memory card and bring him to your friend's house
and use him to beat your friends' characters.
When you first select the option, there will be a
question in Japanese which means do you want to
start a new character. Choose yes and it take you to
the character selection screen. After you've chosen
the character you want to train. you will notice that
the rest of the 22 characters ( including yourself) will
have a level number 1 -22 when you highlight them.
At this moment you are at level 0. Start with the
character who's level 1 and select him. You will
then fight him. After you've beaten him the
computer will ask if you want to save the character.
Select yes and now you are a level one character
with a slightly more energy to spare on damage
and slightly more powerful attacks and so on.
Needless to say from 1-22 the opponent is more
skilled and fights better than the previous one.
After you've beaten all 22 characters, that's when
the first boss character appears (level 23). After
you've beaten him you will find yourself back at
the start but all the other characters will be
numbered from 24 onwards and stronger than the
previous 22. This is the 2nd Block. There are five
Blocks in all and within a block you dont't need to
fight the characters in order. Ther Maximum Level
is 125.
The neat thing here is that the more you use a pati
-cular move the more powerful it'll become. I believe
it's the move you finish your opponent with that's going
improved. You can also keep on training a move even
after you've reached level 125.
5)Build Up Battle - You can use two 'built-up' characters from the
card/cards to fight each other. During the battle,
pressing L2 will let the computer control your
character and pressing R2 will let you control
character again. You can therefore let the PSX
control both characters and just watch the match
Before you start a game I advice you first to go to the option
screen and turn the animation off. There is a short animation
sequence before and after each fight which shows both characters
and the victor after the fight talking in Japanese mainly just
taunting the opponent. This is a nice touch but it also means
its takes PSX longer to load as it has load the sequence first.
Better to do without it.
Alot of the moves were given specific names which I'm sure will
get lost in the translation some how. So most of the them I will be
describing the actual move unless its has a significant back ground
history.
Also please note any techniques that uses O button consumes Chi
SON GOKOU
Son Gokou the leading man of the comic/animation. Here
appearing as Super Son Gokou. His first master of martial arts is a
wacky old man, Kame Senin, Grampa Turtle is probably the most
appropiate translation. Turtle because he normally wears a heavy
turtleshell on his back ( for the purpose of training!)

Dash elbow - qcf + S
Forward Turtle Flip - F,B,F + X

YOUNG SON GOHAN (SUPER)
He is the elder son of Son Gokou. Mixed blood of Son Gokou's
Saiya-jin race and a human. Some how this kind of mixing
produces stronger fighters the ability of whom exhibits itself even
when they are only young. Thus he is able to turn into Super Son
Gohan already. This is true also for Son Goten and Young Trunks.
Infact Young Son Gohan has got so much potential when he
actually utilises it, he was the only person who managed to defeat
Cell in the comic. His first master is Piccolo.

yes killed, but not completely gone as his spirit lives on in the
After Life.

GOTENKS (SUPER)
A very strange fighting technique towards the end of the series
where by two fighters of similar size and ability can 'combine' to
form a stronger fighter for a limited period of time! Very bizarre,
anyway if you have watched the animation intro of the game you
should know that Contenks is made up of Son Goten and Young
Trunks. They did in order to fight the Ultimate Evil - Majin-Boo.

descending multiple fireballs

TRUNKS ( SUPER)
Older version of Trunks. In the comic, he came back in time from
an alternative future to give Son Gokou some advance medication
to save him from a premature death from a heart attack so that Son
Gokou can help him destroy two androids,namely Android 17 and
18, before they were activated, whom in Trunks' time is close to
causing a total destruction of the world. Trunks as a whole is a
good natured person quite unlike his father.

Obviously not human, he is of another alien race whose home
planet, the Namek was nearly destroyed by Freeza. He has the
unusual ability of regeneration of any part of the body be they
completely severed as long as the head remains. Master to Young
Son Gohan and really admires Son Gokou. One of the good guys.

Klilyn had known Son Gokou since they were kids. Together they
trained under Grampa Turtle. Although they were quite
competitive when they were young, Son Gokou's ability soon far
exceeded Klilyn's. However as far as humans go, he is probably
the strongest. He had taken a fancy to Android 18 during the
Battle with Cell and actually ended up marrying her.

TENSHINHAN
Used to be a contester in one of the three yearly Tournaments and
got beaten by young Son Gokou. Since then he has become one of
Son Gokou's comrades. He hasn't appeared much in the latter half
of the comic as he is not really that good a fighter compared to
everybody else.

GREAT SAIYAMAN
This is actually the grown up Son Gohan. The ridiculous costume
is a super hero out fit to disguise his real identity from normal
people and his class mates. He was trying to play the part of a
super hero crime fighter at the time with hilarious consequence. (
although Son Gokou and his comrades had time and again saved
the Earth from certain destruction, your average human is
completely ignorant of their deeds and abilities and just how much
the fate of the Earth was on the line.)

KAIOHSHIN
In the Dragon Ball Z world there is an Afterlife ruled by four gods.
There is also a god of gods above them who until the later parts of
the comic only existed as a rumour. Kaiohshin is that god. He
came to the latest Annual Fighting Tournament to elicit help from
Son Gokou and his comrades. (Son Gokou Although already dead
has managed to get 'leave' back to Earth to fight in the
tournament!) Kaiohshin told of an ultimate evil who is about to
emerge again onto the Earth with the help of a powerful wiizard.

VEGETA
Not only is he of the Saiya-jin race, he is actually the prince of his
people, thus he is a very proud character. When he first came to
Earth he had wanted to conquer it but luckily he had been defeated
by Son Gokou. Ever since then his only goal was to become a
better fighter than Son Gokou and to beat him. As far as I know
he's never managed to exceed Son Gokou's abilities. He was not
all bad, in a few unlikely circumstances he had actually helped Son
Gokou to defeat a couple of enemies. He had also fathered Trunks
and although there was little external show of fatherly love, he
does love him. But his pride however would not let him accept that
this 'commoner', Son Gokou, is a more superior fighter than one with
Royal blood. Which resulted in his joining the wizard's gang who
was responsible for releasing the Ultimate Evil. The wizard had the
power to increase a fighter's ability so he would far exceed his
own potential. Not willing to miss an opportunity to best Son
Gokou, Vegeta willingly beacame one of the wizard's subjects,
thus the M on his forhead in the intro sequence.

An enemy character before the Battle with Cell. He was a
Conqueror and had travel the Galaxy to destroy other civilisations.
One such planet was Son Gokou's home land and he also killed
Son Gokou's father. He originally appeared to be a very weedy
character but after each fight he transformed into a more superior
fighting form. What we see here is his final form. He was at the
end defeated by Son Gokou.

ANDROID 18
One of the destructive androids (17 and 18) who wrecked harvok
on Earth in the alternate future where Grown Up Trunks came
from. She was not so much of an android as a man-made human-
like life form. Infact apart from her superior fighting ability,
strength and long life-span, she was not that much different from a
human. She was created by the same mad professor, Dr. Gear,
who made Android 16 and Cell. When the future Trunks came
back, he quickly found that all was not like what he had
experienced from his time. These androids turned out not to be the
monstrous killing machines from his past, sure, they haven't got
much compassion as far as human lives are concerned but they
were basically care free and laid back and did not care much about
destroying Earth. Their only target was to defeat Son Gokou which
to them only seemed like an exciting idea.
Being an android, her chi bar recharges more quickly on its own
than the other fighters but it also meant that you cannot quickly
charge up by pressing a button.

ANDROID 16
He was activated at the same time as Android 17 and 18. An
enigmatic character as he, like Cell did not appear in the alternate
future that Trunks came from. It was later revealed that unike the
other two androids, he was totally mechanical in construction and
possesses even greater fighting power. But in contrast he had more
compassion and human qualities than the other two and had joined
Son Gokou in fighting Cell.
Like Android 18, he cannot use the quick charge method to
replenish his Chi Bar but it does charge more quickly than the
other characters.

CELL
Unlike the alternate future Trunks came from, in this 'Present' it
was Cell instead of Android 17 and 18 who became the Destroyer
of Earth. Created by the same mad professor he had taken a Time
Machine to come to this 'Present' in order to complete his
programme by absorbing Android 17 and 18 to become the
ultimate fighter. His main goal of course was to kill Son Gokou.
He was made from highly adaptable cells thus giving him the
unique ability to take samples from strong opponents via his tail. (
hidden in his back) He could then master what ever skills the
opponent had. ( That is why he can use Turtle Power Ball ). We
see him here in his final form, after he had absorbed the whole of
Android 17 and 18. It was in this form that he had managed to kill
Son Gokou but was eventually defeated by Young Son Gohan
whose hidden potential now fully expressed triggered by the shock
of his father's death. After a severe bout of beating Cell even
regurgitated the absorbed Android 18.

This was what was awaken by the Wizard - The Ultimate Evil?!
Not exactly a face that inspired fear, more likely, laughter. He IS

One of the evil things he did was to turn people into chocolates
and eat them! Nevertheless he is an extremely dangerous
opponent.

SUPER BOO
Some silly human crooks managed to kill Majin-Boo's pet, a very
cute puppy, thus triggered a personality split in him - an innocent
side and an evil side. The Evil side managed to eat the other
half after he's turned him into a piece of chocolate. The result was
Super Boo - the true, pure, Ultimate Evil. In the comic, he has the
power to combine with people to increase his fighting ability.

SATAN
This chap needs a bit of introduction. He is just an ordinary person
with some abyssmal martial arts skills and he had witnessed the
battle between the Son Gokou team and Cell
from afar. As I said before, Son Gokou and comrades remained
quite annonymous. So after Cell was defeated everybody just left.
When the media arrived at the scene, only Satan remained and he
claimed to have defeated Cell himself and became a world hero.
That is why if you beat the game on the tournament level, you will
then get to fight Satan.
As mentioned this guy has no super skills therefore he cannot fly
nor move quickly sideways. He also does not have a chi energy
bar. But be beware, he fights dirty but also very funny.

-ion Son Gokou and Vegeta had to combine to fight Super Boo
