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 Piccolo should be equipped to make full use of
his moves & abilities.
Custom 1
A) Attack up 1
------------------------------------
B) Master Roshi's training
------------------------------------
C) Super up 1
------------------------------------
D) Combo master
------------------------------------
E) Dende's Healing ability
Here we increase Piccolo's attack & super & give him a health boost of 10,000
from Master Roshi's training. Combo master allows Piccolo's combos to cause
greater damage, the greater the hits the more damage the combo does. Lastly
his health can now slowly regenerate thanks to Dende's Healing ability which
is great for the Cell games or those prlonged battles that seem to prove
tougher than was originally expected.
.
Custom 2
A) Master Roshi's Training
-------------------------------------
B) Warriors will
-------------------------------------
C) Mirage
-------------------------------------
D) Defense up 1
-------------------------------------
E) Attack up 2
Custom 3
A) Rush blast 3
-------------------------------------
B) Master Roshi's training
-------------------------------------
C) Attack up 1
-------------------------------------
D) Super up 1
This setup increases piccolo's super abilities & his attack power while
also giving him more health. Rush blast 3 allows Piccolo to half the Ki
cost of ki blasts & energy blasts while also powering those moves up!
Other Potara's you may find useful for Piccolo include:
>- Style of the strong
>- Rising fighting spirit
>- Gigantic power
>- Sparking plus
>- Draconic aura
>- King Kai's training
>- Active heart
- - - - - - - - - - -
6) Tips & stratergies==
- - - - - - - - - - -
> Before you launch Hellzone grenade, you should fir several normal Ki blasts
so you briefly prevent your opponent from dashing or trying to move around
in anyway you can, then launch the ultimate move to cause massive damage to
the opponent hopefully causing it's maximum damage potential.
> Use False courage to bolster Piccolo's defenses, add to that his equipped
defense potara and he can withstand alot of fatal damage & you won't have to
worry much about guarding, but don't completely stop guarding when health
runs low unless you can be sure to teleport out of harms way.
> Piccolo's throw has a good range & is excellent at close quaters, he
extends his arm & goes for a combo before knocking the opponent back
& if you are really skillful here, you will follow it up for even more
damage/combo madness!!
> Special beam cannon is powerful but it requires alot of time to charge fully
however, once fully charged it causes massive damage & can even pierce
through some energy attacks allowing you to avoid damage & deal it
simultainously!

7) Piccolo's(End) 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:
$mkc- rBKgX c4j*q (N
Bl4l? s2%dB J1bjp nH
Now on the character select screen under password character you will have
a Piccolo, but not just any Piccolo oh no! This is a super Piccolo with stats
pushed far beyond normal limits, have fun trashing any opponent with the
almighty Namekian warrior.
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 Piccolo at his most powerful!

8) Frequantly asked questions(getting to know you)==
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Q. I'm having problem's using my red potara password, why?
A. Oh dear not this again... sigh... Ok well bearing in mind
all passwords are "CASE SENSITIVE" should you wrongly input
an upper or lower case letter in to the password you will invalidate
the password making it of course unusable & it won't work.Carefully
check your input of the password as they are annoyingly long & try
again, all passwords work & have been tried & tested multiple
times...don't worry you aren't the first to ask me that either...

9) Character quotes   ==
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Naturally as the title of this section implyies, this is a selection of
Piccolo's(end) voice quotes during the game:-
"I sure hope you're ready!"
" Hmph... not even worth my time!"
" Nowhere to run...This is the end!!"
" Ok time for some intense training" (To Gohan)
