[3] [Introduction]
Welcome to my first ever FAQ/Guide, I hope it is informative and helpful. I
have chosen to write about Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 because I am a very
huge fan of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. I spend many hours watching
DVDs and Videos, I'm also a very vivid video gamer, I like alot of games,
but when I pick a Dragon Ball Z game, the experience is unmatchable.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 is a Fighting RPG based on the Dragon Ball Z
Series. The reason you have decided to read this Guide is because you
want to know about the main character in this game, Son Goku, so I won't
keep you any longer. I hope you enjoy reading this.

[6] [Recommended Custom Trays]
My favourite three custom trays are defensive, offensive and energy:
[Name: Defensive Custom Tray]
Mysterious Vest
----------------------
----------------------
----------------------
Universal Power
----------------------
----------------------
This will increase your defence to 153%, and it wil continue to increase throughout the
course of the match.
[Name: Offensive Custom Tray]
Universal Power
----------------------
----------------------
Saiyan Spirit
Rage!!!
---------------------
---------------------
This will increase your attack to 159%, but after 20 seconds it will drop to
129%, don't threat though, because by that time you should have done
some major damage and the Universal Power will make the attack increase
throughout the match.
[Name: Energy Custom Tray]
King Kai Fist x20
Super Saiyan
Super Saiyan 2
Super Saiyan 3
Kamehameha
Kamehameha
Warp Kamehameha
This is basically an average tray, but I find that in Super Saiyan 3, the
double Kamehameha does quite a lot of damage and the Warp Kamehameha
is an easy attack to pull off and does a good amount of damage.
[7] [Costumes]
Traditional Gi Costume: This is the costume Goku is seen with all throughout
Dragon Ball Z, he has an orange overshirt and trousers, blue wristbands and
a blue belt. His undershirt is blue and his boots are blue with red outlines.
Alternative Gi Costume: Goku wears this in the very last Tenkaichi Budokai. His overshirt
is blue and his trousers are green, he has yellow wristbands, he has no undershirt and he
has a white belt. His boots are black and yellow.
