INTRODUCTION - This is my FAQ/Movelist for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 on the PS2.
Here you will the moves for all 29 selectable characters, how to unlock them,
the skills they can use and a guide to the various modes of the game including
a walkthrough of the Dragon World Story Mode.
This is an excellent DBZ game and definitely the best I have played so far on
any system.  There are so many characters to choose from I would be surprised
if your fave weren't included here.  I hope you enjoy the guide and find it of
use.
The latest version of this guide is always found at:
www.gamefaqs.com
www.faqs.ign.com
Please ensure you have read the latest version of the guide before emailing me
with a question.  Emails that are actually answered in the guide will be turned
into candy and fed to Majin Buu.
*******************************************************************************
REVISIONS - (02/12/2003).
First version, movelists and guide to all the modes included. I still haven't
managed to acquire all the breakthrough capsules for all the characters yet, so
there will be additions to the FAQ coming fairly soon.  But as it stands you
will find here moves for all characters and a full guide to the various modes
and secrets the game has to offer.
Version 1.1 (14/12/2003)
Ok, so now the US version is out.  Mainly this update adds skills I missed and
corrects a few misattributed skills. Also added are the moves for the special
fusion character Gokule. Also I bunged in a FAQ in the Basics section to
quickly answer the various queries flooding into my inbox.  There were supposed
to be the moves for Tiencha and Kibitoshin here as well, but my left shoulder
froze and I had to lay off playing and writing for a week =(
The last update before Christmas will be along in a week, and WILL include
Tiencha and Kibitoshin, even if my arm falls off!
Version 1.2 (22/12/2003)
Well my arm is still on (just).  Of course I soon realised that the Potara
fusion characters all have slightly different moves depending who is the active
character.  So second movesets for the Vegeta-Vegito and Hercule-Gokule fusions
added.  Tiencha was fine and disappointingly Kibitoshin had no moves of his
own.  Also added every damn capsule in the game including the elusive "Freiza's
Spaceship".  That's your lot until after I have eaten my roast goose and opened
my presents.  Then you can expect some maps of the levels in Dragon World mode
and more detailed character strategies.
Version 2.0 (31/10/2004)
Ok, bit of a longer delay than I planned for the update, put this down to
having to move house, problems with my shoulder and my PC breaking down three
times in as many months causing me to lose a lot of useful emails with good
contributions in them, sorry folks =(
However, I have added a nice lot of stuff, most importantly added an in-depth
guide to Dragon World mode, with some fairly crude maps which give you the
locations of the various buried items and some helpful strategy.  I have
removed the small biographies from the character movelist sections and compiled
them into one section at the end, which is a brief history of the show.  With
276 episodes (US/UK) it can be daunting for relative newcomers, especially with
the wealth of references to obscurer characters from the original Dragonball so
I hope it will be of some help (similar mini-guides in other DBZ gamefaqs
helped me get to grips with the full storyline a few years back).
I've added some technical guff to the movelists, mainly on how much various
power-ups (Super Saiyan, Fighting Poses etc) actually power the characters up
by.
Finally I have added a list of the capsules by availability which should be of
some help to those just starting out.  Also fixed a couple of dumb mistakes
like having Hercule fight Super Buu on the wrong level to get Videl. DUH!
Also, please stop emailing me the "capsule cheat", I know it, I just choose to
not ruin peoples games for them by encouraging them to get all the secrets
without bothering to play the game.

===============================================================================
******************************* 2) THE BASICS *********************************
===============================================================================
When I began the movelists I was faced with a quandary, basically what moves to
list as each character can be customised with various moves gained from
capsules.  So I decided to list the basic moves given if you select the
character as NORMAL - that's an uncustomised character - first of all.  Each
character has their signature moves; a throw and most of them have a powerup up
or two in NORMAL mode.  I have used these as the backbone of the character's
movelists.  The moves in NORMAL mode are a good guide to setting up a character
to start with as you get into the game.
You must remember though that certain moves listed in NORMAL mode are NOT
initial available for creating a customised character, they must be obtained in
DRAGON WORLD MODE first. After the NORMAL moves are listed, I have listed first
the additional offensive moves each character can learn, along with inputs.
Then the defensive and support abilities they can equip.  For full descriptions
of the abilities check out the skills/capsules sections, I don't want to be
repeating myself for each character.
Certain characters like Goku and Goten/Trunks can fuse into new characters
using a Fusion capsule.  I have decided these cover these Fusions as separate
characters, even though they cannot actually be selected from the line-up they
must be activated in battle.
There is also my basic rating of the character and some suggestions for good
skills to add to them when you customise them.  This is only VERY basic stuff,
I am sure plenty of very detailed in-depth character FAQs will appear soon, so
this should be seen as a basic overview to help you get started.
There are several modes of play available. The main story mode is called DRAGON
WORLD.  Here you take control of Goku and pick allies to work your way through
an adventure based on the plot of the cartoon.  Here you win new skills and
unlock secret characters.  Unlike the other modes, you cannot access the basic
NORMAL skillset, you must use a customised character to progress.  It is
covered in depth in a separate section.
WORLD TOURNAMENT mode sees you work your way through several battles to be
crowned world champion.  You can use NORMAL or customised characters here, but
fusions can't be used.  You earn cash from competing to spend on new skills at
the skills shop, the better you do, the more cash you earn.  This can also be
played as multiplayer, but you will earn no cash.
DUELING MODE.  You basic one-on-one 2P versus mode.  You can use NORMAL or
CUSTOMISED characters here. You can choose a stage to fight on, some of which
allow wins via Ring-Outs.
TRAINING MODE is split into practice and training.  Practice allows you to
fight with NORMAL or CUSTOMISED characters.  Training sees you take on the part
of Goten as the other characters take you through the game controls.  This also
includes useful practice in Fusion Mode before you can access it in the game.
EDIT SKILLS - here you can visit the Skill Shop and purchase new Skill
capsules.  You can customise the characters and you can view a list of all the
skills you have purchased or won in DRAGON WORLD MODE.  If you have another
memory card and save you can also trade skills between them. Skills are covered
in depth in their own section.
BABADI'S SPACESHIP - Acquire after finishing DRAGON WORLD and wishing for it
from Shenron.  Here are four mini-game stages that allow you to win Dabura and
the three Buu forms.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL FAQ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok well I thought I would get my emails on this and I wasn't wrong!  The most
common questions are answered below.
Q: Why can't I Fuse in Tournament or Dragon World Mode?
A: You can't use the Vegito or Gotenks Fusion (or special fusions) ability in
either of these two modes, except when the storyline in Dragon World allows it.
Which is lame. You can use them Babadi's Ship, Two-Player and Practice.  Super
Buu's Absorption, Vegeta's Babadi's Mind Control and Frieza's Spaceship can all
be used in Tournament Mode however.
Q: I can't use Teen Gohan in Dragon World Mode!
A: I have no idea why he is not available as an ally in DW mode, but he ain't.
Sorry!  It also sucks that Android 18 can't be used after level 4 and Majin Buu
on the final level. huffph.
Q: How did you get the guide up so fast?
A: Believe it or not, the UK (PAL) version came out a month before the US
version. And I live in the UK. I also got my copy free courtesy of a website I
review for, check out my review at www.thunderbolt.be (shameless plug)
Q: Is Broly/Master Roshi/SSJ4 Goku/Gogeta etc in the game?
A: Nope.  No film characters, no Dragon Ball: GT characters and sadly no Master
Roshi.  What you get is what's listed here.
Q: How do I unlock so-and-so character?
A: Read the damn FAQ.
Q: Where do I find so-and-so skill?
A: Most skills eventually appear at the skill shop, but there are a lot of
support skills that do not, for example 4 slot armour and the various "wish"
skills, or the senzu beans.  Basically you will need to play Dragon World and
collect the capsules on the map and dig up ones as well.  The final Buu levels
yield most rare skills, so don't rush through them!
Q: How do I find the Dragonballs?
A: After the first level you really need to find the Dragon Radar on each level
and use that.  Move until the red ball is in the centre of the radar and then
select the character with X but instead of moving, the character will dig up a
Dragon Ball, after the first level there are 6 more balls and eight levels.  If
you miss a ball you can find two on the next and so on.
Q: How can I get the Breakthroughs I want quickly?
A: Well you have to slog through Dragon World until you get to the final battle
with Kid Buu as normal. Now when you have pretty much knocked him down to one
or two lights, EXIT Dragon World Mode so it saves.  Now go back into Dragon
World Mode and pull out the memory card.  Defeat Kid Buu then when it queries
your lack of card just select NO and continue to Shenron.  If the Breakthrough
you want is not on offer, reset the game and then shove the memory card back
in. DO NOT SELECT CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Instead choose to LOAD GAME and
ignore the warning, then you can reload Dragon World Mode from where you saved
just before defeating Kid Buu.  Now pull out the card and do it again.  As soon
as the Breakthrough comes up that you want, stick the memory card back in so
that when you select it, it will save to the card, then just choose to continue
as normal. If you manage to balls this up, I take no responsibility for your
stupidity.
Q: Who's your favourite character?
A: Well in the game and the Anime I like Vegeta best of all.  OK, Goku is the
hero, but Goku never seems to be as complex and multi-layered as Vegeta, to be
honest Goku story pretty much ends with him becoming the legendary Super Saiyan
towards the latter half of the Frieza saga.  Original Dragonball is Goku's
story, DBZ seems to be more interested in telling the story of Gohan, Piccolo
and Vegeta.  I love Vegeta's inner battles with his desire for power and the
obvious happiness he gets from his wife and son (even if he tries to deny it).
He is also a nifty fighter in the game.  I love Super Buu, his battle with
Gotenks is one of my favourite parts of the saga, god Gotenks is SO ANNOYING
(but very true to life, little boys are JUST like that, heh heh) I was cheering
Buu on by the end! He's also fun to use with his Absorption ability.  Finally,
I like Android 18,a powerful female fighter and damn sexy lady to boot!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNIVERSAL MOVELIST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every character shares the same basic moves.  These are covered in the Training
Mode, but for completions sake, here they are as well!
Basic Punch (P)      Square
Basic Kick (K)       Triangle
Energy Blast (E)     Circle
Guard (G)            Cross
Power Punches and    Hold forwards or backwards at the same time as punch or
Power Kicks          kick to perform more powerful uppercuts, hammerblows,
scissor kicks and roundhouses
Unblockable (P+K)    Press punch and kick to do a close range unblockable
attack
This will also launch an opponent in the air and initiate
air combat
Hop backwards (b, b) tap back twice
Dash (f, f)          tap forwards twice
Dash Attack          double tap forwards and punch or kick
Dodge back (u+G)     Press up and Guard
Dodge to front (d+G) Press down and Guard
Throw/Combo (K+G)    Kick + Guard
Recover Ki           Hold down Guard and double tap back or forwards then hold
Transform (P+K+G)    If skill is set you can transform into a stronger fighter
Deflect Ki (G)       Press Guard just before Ki blast hits
Don't underestimate the usefulness of the basic kick and punch combos.  Some of
the smaller and faster characters can be utterly devastating simply using
speedy strings of basic attacks, never giving the more powerful characters as
chance to power-up a signature move.  You should always throw in plenty of the
power punches and kicks as well, as these can hurl opponents out of the ring on
some stages if they hit on a counter.  The basic unblockable does little
damage, but is great for interrupting attacks and smacking your opponent up
into the air.  Like with all fighting games, it's not your mastery of the big
flashy moves that matter, it's your handling of the basics that can be the
difference between success and failure!
When it comes to performing the powerful attacks listed below most of them
require Ki to perform.  Your Ki gauge is listed under your energy bar and can
be maxed out at 6 levels.  Certain moves require you spend a certain number of
Ki Levels to perform.  So this is listed as so:
f + G         Kamehameha (1K)
1K = 1 Ki level expended.  Simple eh?
Some manoeuvres do not spend Ki, but require that level of Ki to maintain,
these are basically the transformations some characters have.
e.g: To maintain Super Saiyan 3, Goku must have 5Ki or more.  If his Ki drops
below that he will stay at SSJ3 until he is knocked to the floor.  Once that
happens he will revert to whichever form he has Ki to sustain.  So if his Ki
was down to 3, he would drop from Super Saiyan 3 to Super Saiyan.
Certain moves in the game require you to twirl the analogue stick as quickly as
possible.  If you use the palm of your hand to twirl BOTH stick at once you
fill the gauge TWICE as fast!
===============================================================================
******************* 3) DEFAULT CHARACTERS MOVELISTS ***************************
===============================================================================
These are the eight characters that you can initially select in the game. I
have tried to be as comprehensive as possible listing all available moves, but
please if I have missed something let me know POLITELY! Thanks!
I have added Support Skill Notes to each characters list to give further help
in character creation.  I thought it would be better to place them in with the
character guides as people seem to miss important stuff in separate sections.

SKILL NOTES:
* Goku's Super Saiyan can only be equipped if King Kai Fistx20 (or Kaioken
dammit!) is also equipped.
*If you twirl the analogue stick up the full gauge of the Continuous Kamehameha
you will do a tenth hit of extra damage.
* The Spirit Bomb moves can only be performed in King Kai Fistx20 mode or
normal mode
* If the Vegito/Gokule Fusion fails it cannot be performed again during battle
* Although the Vegito/Gokule Fusion capsule takes up seven slots, Goku will
have access to his NORMAL moveset
* The Vegito/Gokule fusion cannot be performed in Tournament Mode or in Dragon
World mode (except when the story allows the Vegito fusion)
POWERUPS
King Kai Fist x20 increases Goku's attack power by 5%
Super Saiyan increases Goku's attack power by 10%
Super Saiyan 2 increases Goku's attack power by 15%
Super Saiyan 3 increases Goku's attack power by 25%
The Vegito Fusion increases Goku's attack power by 30%
Going Super Saiyan as Vegito increases Goku's attack power by 40%
The Gokule Fusion increases Goku's attack power by 10%, but Ki does not drop.
COMMENTS: Well as you would expect Goku is one of the best-rounded characters
in the game.  With great speed, endurance and strength he is ideal for the
newer players to get to grips with.  He can also be set up in a lot of
different ways, from sacrificing skills to be able to change into Vegito or
Super Saiyan 3, to piling on all kind of powerful attacks like the Spirit Bomb
at the expense of the ability to go to the highest level of Super Saiyan.  With
support abilities like Angels Halo which prevent Ki loss he is one of the best
in the game.
In battle your tactics will mainly focus around how you have set him up.  If
you are planning on powering up to Super Saiyan 3 you will need abilities like
Angel Halo, so you are best then sticking to the basic Kamehameha attacks which
will now be much more powerful.  Of course Spirit Bombs when he is in Kayoken
or Normal mode can be a real match finisher, but I have a hard time targeting
it.

*You must be in Super Saiyan Mode to perform the Super Kamehameha.
*If you twirl the analogue stick up the full gauge of the Continuous Kamehameha

*Kai Unlock Ability can only be equipped if Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 skills
are also.
POWERUPS
Super Saiyan increases Gohan's attack power by 10%
Super Saiyan 2 increases Gohan's attack power by 15%
Elder Kai Unlock Ability increases Gohan's Attack power by 25%
COMMENTS: Considering how powerful this form of Gohan is in the anime, I am
quite unimpressed with him here.  Frankly he plays like a less powerful Goku
and some of his basic kick and punch combos seem to come out so slowly as well.
Not one of the fighters I choose to play much, Teen Gohan and Great Saiyaman
are much better.

you will do a tenth hit of extra damage.
POWERUPS

COMMENTS:  This is more like it.  Considering how much they made Piccolo suck
in the Psone Dragon Ball games, is great to see this Namek warrior back at full
potential.  He has the longest legs in the game bar Cell and can play a great
push back game with them.  Smaller fighters can have a hard time getting in
close when you have Piccolo going wild with the Fierce Ranma.  I actually
prefer to use him mostly as a physical fighter, using the Piccolo Regeneration
skill to spend his Ki to limit damage.  His combo speed and interrupt ability
are superb and with damage being soaked up by defence skills he can usually
last the distance and win.  Although he has two power-up skills I tend to set
him up with Gero's Perpetual Energy R&D and forget the Nail/Kami skills.
Destructive Wave comes out so fast that he can really do damage being able to
do it over and over.

SKILL NOTES:
*You must be in Unlock Potential Mode to use this move.
POWERUPS
Unlock Potential increases Krillin's attack power by 5%
COMMENTS:  Krillin can actually be quite a nifty fighter, I actually like to
play him  as super offensive.  I play most small fast fighters as super offence
and larger slower characters as more defend and counter. You do need to get in
close with him and if your larger opponent is using pokes to push you back you
may have problems. His Kamehameha does come out very quickly and can interrupt
a lot of other energy blasts.  Destructo Disc is a little less easy to target,
I would only ever use it at the end of a successful combo, rather than on its
own.  I tend to equip Rage!!! and/or Miracle Power to him and try and win as
fast as possible.  Also as Fierce Destructo Disc is quite Ki heavy, Gero's
Perpetual Energy R&D makes a good skill as his Unlock Potential Skill gives a
fairly negligible increase in power.
I have detected in other DBZ game guides something of a Krillin hate club.
Well I think he's great, the anime's depiction of his and Goku's growing
friendship in Dragonball is wonderful (how chilling is the sequence before they
find him dead.. where Goku just knows something is wrong...? brrr) and the
anger and grief Goku feels when Frieza kills him just pulsates out of the TV
set. Mind you his voice in the FUNimation dubs (and this game) does suck.

If you successfully perform the Tiencha Fusion, attack is increased by 10%
If the Fusion fails, attack is reduced by 10% for the duration of the fusion.
SKILL NOTES:
*If you twirl the analogue stick up the full gauge of the Domination Blast you
will do a tenth hit of extra damage.
* To activate the Tiencha fusion, either Tien or Yamcha must have at least 4Ki.
So you must tag them in and out of battle to build it up, you do this by
pressing P+K+G.  They will switch in battle.
* When you equip the Tiencha fusion capsule, although it takes seven slots,
both will still have access to their NORMAL moveset.
* The Tiencha fusion lasts as long as the timer, then if knocked down when its
is at zero they will break apart and refuse when their Ki is built up again.
*The Tiencha fusion cannot be performed in Dragon World or Tournament Mode
COMMENTS: I haven't really used Tien much to form a proper opinion.  He does
have some good speed and Dodompa comes out VERY quickly and can interrupt a lot
of attacks, otherwise he fights pretty similarly to Yamcha.

COMMENTS:  I was rather impressed with Raditz.  For a fairly bulky character he
has an amazing punch speed, although his kicks can be a little sluggish.  He
also has a neat range of energy attacks. I would in fact equip more copies of
Double Sunday to power it up and forget about the other attacks and play a fist
fighting and Double Sunday game with him.  In fact when I did some of the
Babadi's Spaceship games he was my top scorer in landing the most hits!

*The Gotenks fusion cannot be performed in Dragon World or Tournament Mode
POWERUPS
Super Saiyan increases Kid Trunk's attack power by 10%
If you successfully perform the Gotenks Fusion attack is increased by 10%
Going Super Saiyan as Gotenks increases attack power by 15%
Going Super Saiyan 3 as Gotenks increases attack power by 25%
If the Fusion fails, attack is reduced by 10% for the duration of the fusion.
COMMENTS: I expect if you chose Trunks you are probably going for the Gotenks
fusion, which is discussed in his own section.  To be honest I will say the
same for Goten as well, if you aren't using the fusion, they are both decent
small fighters with a nice turn of speed, but basically, a bit dull to use.
Sorry.

COMMENTS:  Goten is possibly the quickest fighter in the game outside of Kid
Buu, but pays for this by having a teeny reach so if your opponent is playing a
keep out game you could be in trouble.  Again if you aren't using the Gotenks
fusion this is like playing a mini Goku.. only not as fun.

SKILL NOTES
* Babadi's Mind Control will activate if Vegeta is knocked down with only one
energy gauge left (orange), he does not need to be Super Saiyan.
* Atomic Blast will consume half of whatever amount of Ki Majin Vegeta has to

* If the Vegito Fusion fails it cannot be performed again during battle
* Although the Vegito Fusion capsule takes up seven slots, Vegeta will have
access to his NORMAL moveset
* The Vegito fusion cannot be performed in Tournament Mode or in Dragon World

POWERUPS
Super Saiyan increases Vegeta's attack power by 10%
Super Saiyan 2 increases Vegeta's attack power by 15%
The Vegito Fusion increases Vegeta's attack power by 30%
Going Super Saiyan as Vegito increases Vegeta's attack power by 40%
COMMENTS:  The man, the FREAKING man.  Vegeta is my favourite character in the
anime and the game (and frankly one of my favourite characters out of any
medium, books, films whatever).  He is almost as flexible as Goku, with the
ability to equip Angels Halo.  He has stumpy arms and legs, but amazing
punching speed. As you power him up his Galick Gun gets ever more devastating,
in fact I advise ditching some attacks to power up just that one with extra
copies.  Many people will be using three slots to use Babadi's Mind Control.
This can be great but also a waste if it only activates when you have about
half your final health bar left.  Learn to do Majin Vegeta's Final Explosion
Attack though and you should have most fights in the bag!

SKILL NOTES
*If you twirl the analogue stick up the full gauge of the Wolf Fang Blast you
will do a tenth hit of extra damage.
* Spirit Ball requires you tap in a random button combo to perform once
activated.  Mess up and the attack misses and damages you instead!
* To activate the Tiencha fusion, either Tien or Yamcha must have at least 4Ki.
So you must tag them in and out of battle to build it up, you do this by
pressing P+K+G.  They will switch in battle.
* When you equip the Tiencha fusion capsule, although it takes seven slots,
both will still have access to their NORMAL moveset.
* The Tiencha fusion lasts as long as the timer, then if knocked down when its
is at zero they will break apart and refuse when their Ki is built up again.
*The Tiencha fusion cannot be performed in Dragon World or Tournament Mode.
POWERUPS
If you successfully perform the Tiencha Fusion, attack is increased by 10%
If the Fusion fails, attack is reduced by 10% for the duration of the fusion.
COMMENTS:  Aww poor old Yamcha.  I've just been watching the original Dragon
Ball series where he was stalking Goku, Bulma and Oolong.  He was always
outclassed by Goku and as you would expect he's not a great power character.
However that said, most of his attacks use little Ki so you can keep up an
assault of power moves raining down when others would have run out of energy.
Plus.. one of his costumes is his snazzy yellow suit from the Buu saga.. so
there.

SKILL NOTES
* Rotate the analogue sticks to do more damage with the Recoome Bomber
* Rotate the analogue sticks to full guage to do a tenth hit during the Buster
Magnum.
POWERUPS
Special Fighting Pose 3 increases attack by 8%
Special Fighting Pose 4 increases defence by 5%
Both poses can be performed multiple times for cumulative bonuses.
COMMENTS: Again I have not used Recoome too much, but he seems to have a nice
turn of speed for a bulky character and a lot of power moves to play with.
You'll probably play a more defensive game with him, and the Fighting Poses can
raise your resistance to damage quite considerably.
