Arity then, let's get started. Dragonball z is the coolest
cartoon show ever shown on tv, also the better cartoon game

and way better than GT, also don't believe in af crap, because
it's all fake. This character faq is for Trunks and Chibi Trunks
only. Also, if people like this faq, i have all the free time to
make up more character faq, even of the whole game. Before i get

the L2 buttons would do.

==================================================
Dragonball Z picks up 5 years after Goku's mariage to Chichi.
The focus changes from Goku to his son Gohan. The series also
becomes more involved with extra terrestials as Goku's race
the Saiyan's find out where he has gone.
==================================================
4.Trunks
==================================================
+++++++++++++++++
|Mirai NO Trunks|
+++++++++++++++++(Older Trunks):
Trunks is the son of Bulma - a headstrong, technical genius -
and Vegeta - one of the most powerful fighters in the Dragon
Ball Z universe. His exact age is not certain, but he first
appears in Dragon Ball Z in his mid to late teens. He is
from the future and has witnessed a threat to Earth which
cannot be stopped in that time. He has come back in time to
try to save the Earth of his time, only to find our heroes
in Earth facing their own peril.
Much to the amazement of our friends, Trunks immediately
turns Super Saiyan and defeats Frieza and King Cold. He
gives Goku medicine to prevent his death from heart disease
and tells them of Earth's coming predicament. The Z Fighters
immediately go into training, and Trunks returns to his own time.
Trunks returns to our timeline again in the Android Saga to
ensure that the Androids do arrive on Earth. He is also born
during this saga, so we have the opportunity to see him both
as a teenager and a baby at the same time. He continues to exist
as a boy and a teen until the end of the Cell Saga, when the older
Trunks returns to his original timeline.

- Turned Super Saiyan at an early stage.
- Came from the past to defeat the evil in the future
- Defeated Frieza

We first see chibi trunks when the androids arrive in the android
saga. He is the son of Bulma and Vegeta. Chibi trunks was always
carried around recklessly by Bulma, and was almost killed if it
wasn't for the future trunks. As Trunks grows up, his father realizes
the potential that his son has, and trains with him in the gravity
spaceship. Trunks is a snotty little brat whose always trying to
find mishcief with his buddy partner Goten, who is a year younger
than him. Trunks was always stronger than Goten, but isn't the
youngest super saiyan. He is very strong and has done it all,
his major accomplishments are listed below.
Chibi Trunks Major accomplishes:
- Turned Super Saiyan at a very young age
- First to do Fusion
- Fought with Majin Buu, Buu

6.Character FAQ
==================================================
Ok, now is the time that everyone's waiting for, the character faq for both
Trunks and Chibi Trunks. I will start out with Chibi Trunks first and then
move on to Future Trunks. Enjoy.
++++++++
|LEGEND|
++++++++
P=Punch ([])
K=Kick (/\)
E=Energy (O)
G=Guard (X)
-->= Forward
K K P P E,  P P E Trunks does 599
damage to the opponent and a maximum of 5 hits. Same deal with the
--> K K P P E. But otherwise if you just go K P P P E, --> E - It's the same deal as the
double buster but
much weaker than it. It takes 1 gauge to use. When P P P P E is used Trunks
inflics maximum damage of 493, same deal with -->K P P P E. But when you use
K K E - Trunks hurls the opponent in the air with a kick, then follows
it up with a punch, four kicks and a downwords punch which throws the oppenent
into the ground, then charges at them. This attack varies, for example, you must
choose a different button than the opponent chooses to attack. The normal damage
for this attack that Trunks inflicts is 135. Takes 1 gauge to use.
"Energy Burst"
--> P P P P E - Trunks hurls the opponent in the air with a punch, then follows
it up with a double axle that throws the oppent downwards. Then you (the player)
charge up. If you charge up full, then Trunks adds another attack at the end,
otherwise it's 9 hits and Trunks inflicts 238 damage. Takes 2 gauges to use.
"Grand Impulse"
P+G, [] + X - It's Trunks throw attack. Trunks grabs the opponent and kicks them
, then 2 more kicks and then follows it up with high kicks. It does 161 damage
and does not require any gauges.
=======================
[BREAKTHROUGH CAPSULE.]
======================= ( This is when you choose Breakthrough from the edit skills
menu for Trunks)
To get Trunks breakthrough, you have to collect all the 7 seven dragonball from
the dragonworld and summon shenlong and wish for Trunks breakthrough. There is
also another way to get this breakthrough at the Secrets section of this FAQ.
NOTE: Trunks breakthrough capsule is the same as the normal attacks of Trunks.
So really Trunks doesn't need a breakthrough capsule, because you already have
the attacks.
*SUPER SAIYAN*
P+K+G - Just a typical saiyan move except for Raditz and Nappa. Trunks turns
Super Saiyan. Power + Speed go up 10%. Takes 3 gauges to use. The bad thing
about this attack is that it slowly drains your ki, also after your ki gauge
is down to less than 3 you transform back to your original state.
"Double Buster"
P --> P P E, --> K K P P E,  P P E Trunks does 599
damage to the opponent and a maximum of 5 hits. Same deal with the
--> K K P P E. But otherwise if you just go K P P P E, --> E - It's the same deal as the
double buster but
much weaker than it. It takes 1 gauge to use. When P P P P E is used Trunks
inflics maximum damage of 493, same deal with -->K P P P E. But when you use
K K E - Trunks hurls the opponent in the air with a kick, then follows
it up with a punch, four kicks and a downwords punch which throws the oppenent
into the ground, then charges at them. This attack varies, for example, you must
choose a different button than the opponent chooses to attack. The normal damage
for this attack that Trunks inflicts is 135. Takes 1 gauge to use.

it up with a double axle that throws the oppent downwards. Then you (the player)
charge up. If you charge up full, then Trunks adds another attack at the end,
otherwise it's 9 hits and Trunks inflicts 238 damage. Takes 2 gauges to use.

P+G, [] + X - It's Trunks throw attack. Trunks grabs the opponent and kicks them
, then 2 more kicks and then follows it up with high kicks. It does 161 damage
and does not require any gauges.
=================
[FUSION CAPSULE.]
================= ( This is when you choose Breakthrough from the edit skills
menu for Trunks)
In order to get Gotenks capsule you have to reach stage 7 of the dragon world.
It's so simple to get this capsule. No wishing crap or whatsoever.
NOTE: Trunks Fusion capsule is the same as fusion or breakthrough BUT instead
of super saiyan you have FUSION. Also, when using the Fusion capsule you can
switch between Goten or Trunks in the middle of the battle, by pressing P+K+G,
but Goten's attack are different than Trunks.
*FUSION*
P P K K E - Trunks best move/attack of Trunks, the FUSION. Goten comes and you
perform the Fusion dance with Goten. Here's the tricky part, you have to press
the buttons in order, theres a little bar on your screen and you have to follow
the button pattern. If you take too long or mess up on a button, you'll get
the FAT GOTENKS, i don't know if there is the skinny sick Gotenks. It takes
3 gauges to use this attack, so you can do this attack right off the bat.
"Double Buster"
P --> P P E, --> K K P P E,  P P E Trunks does 599
damage to the opponent and a maximum of 5 hits. Same deal with the
--> K K P P E. But otherwise if you just go K P P P E, --> E - It's the same deal as the
double buster but
much weaker than it. It takes 1 gauge to use. When P P P P E is used Trunks
inflics maximum damage of 493, same deal with -->K P P P E. But when you use
K K E - Trunks hurls the opponent in the air with a kick, then follows
it up with a punch, four kicks and a downwords punch which throws the oppenent
into the ground, then charges at them. This attack varies, for example, you must
choose a different button than the opponent chooses to attack. The normal damage
for this attack that Trunks inflicts is 135. Takes 1 gauge to use.

NOTE: In order to get Future Trunks, you have to beat Vegeta with ChibiTrunks on
Namek.
