5) Recommended Z items==
- - - - - - - - - - - -
You are very welcome to choose your own potara's to equip, here i've simply
given a recomendation of how Kid Gohan should be equipped to make full use of
his moves & abilities.
Custom 1
A) Combo master
------------------------------------
B) Master Roshi's Training
------------------------------------
C) Attack up 2
------------------------------------
D) Defense up 1
------------------------------------
E) Rush blast 1
Custom setup 1 allows Gohan to increase his low health capacity thanks to
Master Roshi's Training which boosts his health by 10,000. His attack power
is increased quite alot his defence increases slightly too & with the
addition of combo master Gohan's combos will inflict greater damage & rush
blast gives his Ki blasts & other rush attacks a greater boost of strength,
this should be a primary if not a favoured set up due to it's great potential
& ease of use.
Custom 2
A) King Kai's Training
-------------------------------------
B) Defense up 1
-------------------------------------
C) Attack up 1
-------------------------------------
D) Rising fighting Spirit
This setup will boost Gohan's health by 20,000, it's costly in terms of potara
cost but he need the health boost & it's not too bad as his attack & defense
are increased & his Ki will be at it's peak in any battle due to the Rising
Fighting Spirit.
Custom 3
A) Super up 1
-------------------------------------
B) Attack up 1
-------------------------------------
C) Master Roshi's training
-------------------------------------
D) Rush blast 1
-------------------------------------
E) Warrior's will
-------------------------------------
F) Defense up 1
Gohan retains the benefits of a health increase, attack increase, defense
increase, Super increase, his rush blasts are powered up & Warriors will gives
Gohan the ability to half damage from Ki blasts & energy attacks providing
that the guard button is pressed with the circle button at the right time.
This is a balanced custom setup that works well for most modes in DBZ:BT3.
Other Potara's you may find useful for Gohan include:
>- Style of the strong
>- Mirage
>- Guard master
>- Sparking plus
>- Kibito's Secret Art
>- Proof of friendship

6) Tips & stratergies==
- - - - - - - - - - -
> Kid Gohan's size can be used to your advantage, as he is smaller than alot
of characters he can actually avoid most attacks & due to his high agility
can easily step aside from an incoming throw.
> Gohan's ordinary Ki blasts (Triangle button) are rapid & can slow down an
enemy dashing towards you, take note that your opponent can deflect them
back so be prepared to either defend or deflect it back again with the
circle button, there's nothing worse than being hit with your own Ki
blast....
> Super Unyielding Spirit allows Gohan to enter Max power mode immediately
don't waste the opportunity to inflict heavy damage upon your opponent,
however be aware that Ki charging will be slower for a time after it's
use. This move is best used in two situations, when Gohan's health is
running low in order to inflict massive damage or when your opponent is
down to roughly thier last health gauge & finish them off with a special
move!
> During a rush make effective use of the high speed movement (circle button)
careful use of this will prevent the enemy getting the upper hand & help you
to partially stay out of the way & remain more vigilant for counters.

7) Gohan's red potara password ==
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Red Potara are special from ordinary potara, they grant super enhanced
properties & cannot be obtained by normal means like your standard potara
used to customize your fighters through evolution Z. In order to obtain
the red potara you must "cheat" so to speak, go to the 'data centre' on
the main menu & then input the following password:
7MD-x vq3(1 %#BkJ j*
m@&c- MjZqB DT6D? Ns
Now on the character select screen under password character you will have
a kid Gohan, but not just any Kid Gohan oh no! This is a super kid Gohan with
stats pushed far beyond normal limits, have fun trashing any opponent with
the mighty young Saiyan!
I should also mention that you will only be able to use red potara characters
in duel & ultimate battle modes, which does take a little of the fun out of it
but it's another extra feature you can use to see Kid Gohan at his most
powerful!

8) Frequantly asked questions(getting to know you)==
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Q Wow Gohan has not 2 but four costumes! surely a mistake?
A. No not at all, Gohan has four costumes that represent each
of these sagas 1 (Namek Saga) 2 (Sayian Saga) 3 (Namek/Frieza saga)
4 (DBZ early movies, Dr. Wheelo, Turles, Slug etc) by large I find
characters that have four costumes to choose from usually have their
fourth costume as their best costume but that is mearly a matter of
opinion, there are other characters such as Videl who has 3 costumes
to choose from.
Any other questions/queries regarding Gohan please feel free to e-mail me &
I will include them in this character FAQ, if you would like credit for your
FAQ section contribution then please let me know in the e-mail you forward
to me. E-mail address detail follows below.
