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 Videl should be equipped to make full use of
her moves & abilities.
Custom 1
A) Attack up 1
------------------------------------
B) Defense up 2
------------------------------------
C) Combo master
------------------------------------
D) Rising fighting spirit
------------------------------------
E) Master Roshi's training
A good custom setup like this ensures Videl's attack is increased slightly
her defence is boosted also. Rising fighting spirit will let her start any
battle with a full Ki gauge so try to gain the advantage with a speedy right
off the mark videl rush. Master Roshi's training is a must for Videl, her
health is by default very low & this will boost it by 10,000 you could try
King Kai's training but it's costly & may not be as effective for other
purposes recommended here. Lastly combo master will ensure combos & barrage
attacks do more damage but mostly we just want it here for Videl's combo
damage to increase.
Custom 2
A) Master Roshi's Training
-------------------------------------
B) Active heart
-------------------------------------
C) Attack up 1
-------------------------------------
D) Defense up 1
-------------------------------------
E) Dende's healing ability
As with the last setup the health boost is still equipped & again
attack & defence increase slightly, however this time you use active
heart which increases the rate of Ki recovery while you perfom your
rush attacks & that's not all, thanks to Dende's healing ability Videl
can now slowly recover her health which makes up for the initial low
health stat as well as being a pretty cool potara to recover your health
now & again!
Custom 3
A) Attack up 2
-------------------------------------
B) Defence up 2
-------------------------------------
C) Master Roshi's training
-------------------------------------
D) Super up 1
If you are wanting more aggresive & combat versed Videl this is a good setup
which makes the most of previously said potara's but it gives Videl's supers
(special moves) some extra power as her special moves all involve rush type
attacks as she uses no Ki blasts, a good alternative most of the time & I
use it often.
Other Potara's you may find useful for Videl include:
>- Savior
>- Power body
>- Warrior's will
>- Guard master
- - - - - - - - - - -
6) Tips & stratergies==
- - - - - - - - - - -
> Transforming as soon as the blast gauge hits 1 is a good idea, not only
will Videl transform but she will gain access to some equally powerful
moves & be able to perform those she could not previously
> Utilize the sonic sway technique & master it, this can give Videl the
opportunity to counter attack. Sonic sway allows you to rapidly avoid a
flurry of punches & kicks followed up with an automatic counter attack!
> Remember that Videl's rush special moves will not work on giant characters
such as Slug & others, so use your Ki more effectively by going in to max
power mode & using the violent rush, rack up a large combo to still inflict
large damage upon giant characters who have  a slight advantage over Videl.

7) Videl'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:
$Y0Hr 7HH3b 3Pck% 51
VyQjM 8f+c# cxFc1 wG
Now on the character select screen under password character you will have
a Videl, but not just any Videl oh no! This is a super Videl with stats
pushed far beyond normal limits, have fun trashing any opponent with the
iron maiden!
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 Videl at her most powerful!

8) Frequantly asked questions(getting to know you)==
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Q. Videl is absolutely useless her rush attacks suck right?
A.True that while Videl only uses rush/dash type special moves which
will not work on Giant enemies such as Slug etc she can be used in
various ways & the potara section contained within this FAQ will help
you overcome the weaknesses & improve on Videl's strengths, lets not be
completely critical here, there are other worse characters in the game...
Q. Videl's Ki blast, is it really worth doing?
A. Well each to thier own I guess but i would advise against it & if you
do use it, don't charge it up. The reason i say this is that it's so
ridiculously slow that your opponent will easily avoid it or they could
just stand there & taunt you, try to stay away from this, Videl's a
fighter & martial artist so lets keep it at that shall we?

9) Character quotes   ==
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Naturally as the title of this section implyies, this is a selection of
Videl's voice quotes during the game:-
> " I'll show you a thing or two!"
" Fight me or you're grounded!!" (To pan)
" I'll get through this somehow ha ha!" (As great sayawoman)
" I'm going to be mad if you don't take this seriously!" (To Gohan/Goten)
" I'm not holding back Dad!!" (To Hercule)
" Geez Dad! you really need to get back to training!" (To Hercule)
" Ok come and Get me!!"
" You really did it that time... I won't lose again!" (To Spopovich)
" Don't try any funny business with me!!" (To Master Roshi) (The Pervert!)
" Man... I hope he wasn't someone important..." (To Master Roshi)
