Gohan 28's Guide to --------------Dragon Ball Z---------------- Super Butouden 2 ------------------------------------------- ------------- Contents ------------- 1. Introduction 2. Characters 3. Computer Character Weaknesses 4. Copyright Info 5. Contacts ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dragon Ball Z Super Butouden 2 is the second in a long line of Dragonball fighting games, and takes place during the Cell Game and movies nine and ten. This one, however, is probably the one based on story the most. Super Butouden 1 was just some info of what happened in-between the battles, and Super Butouden 3, along with all but one of the other fighters, is just strictly fighting, with some dialogue before and after the fights. In Super Butouden 2, you make decisions that can change what happens next. Some choices let you skip battles, like when you're Gohan and answer the second choice when talking to Piccolo the first time, you'll skip the battle with Trunks. And other choices add more battles, like after defeating Zangya and answering the second answer (I'm guessing the question is whether or not to kill her on the spot, and choice two is no) will have you fight her again. And the outcomes of battles can also affect what happens. I won't tell you how to skip battles, or what each choice does. You'll just have to play around with it a bit, like I did. I just tell you techniques and the weakness of each character when controlled by the computer. Anyway, without further ado, onto the FAQ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Characters ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gohan The son of Goku, and the first to ever go Super Saiyan level 2 in all of Saiyan history. He did this to defeat Cell during the Cell Game, and it came in handy throughout the rest of Dragonball, particulary against Bojack. He is the main character in this game and is, at the time, the strongest being in the universe. And believe it or not, he's only nine when this takes place. Vegeta Vegeta is the Prince of Saiyans, and believes this not only makes him the most important, but the strongest to. Unfortuneatly for him, this is not the case. Vegeta always dreamed of being a Super Saiyan, not quite knowing the difference in appearance until he saw his rival Goku, or as he calls him, Kakarott, in this form when fighting Frieza. Vegeta's dream finally came true when he turned Super Saiyan before battling Androids 19 and 20. Trunks Trunks is Vegeta's son, and is stronger then his father. There are two versions of Trunks, Mirai Trunks and Chibi Trunks, who is a baby at the time of the Cell Game. The one you play as is Mirai Trunks, who traveled back in time to save the future from the androids. He appeared in the past when a thought to be dead Frieza arrived on Earth with his father. After swiftly killing them both, he told of the grim future in store for Earth, which in his time was taken over by the androids he came back to destroy, numbers 17 and 18. His combination of human and Saiyan blood makes him stronger then just one or the other. Gohan also has this combination. Piccolo Gohan's mentor Piccolo has appeared in nearly every Dragonball fighting game, only one that I know of doesn't have him. Even though he can't go into a powered up form like Saiyans can, he's incredibly powerful, and is slightly more powerful then Vegeta in Super Saiyan form. He gained this incredble strengh from the Namek Fusion Technique, where two Nameks fuse into one forever, usually doubling the stronger one's strength. Piccolo has fused with two other of his green humanoid race, a fallen Namek named Nail and his evil father's other half Kami. Goku Unplayable in this game without a code, Goku is Gohan's father and the first to go Super Saiyan in three thousand years. Goku has a pure heart and a strong bond with his friends, and when Frieza killed his best friend Krillin, Goku went Super Saiyan and defeated the pirate, believing him to be dead. After his son defeats Cell, he sacrifices his life to transport the about to explode android to a far less populated planet. Cell The bad guy of the Cell Game, cell is an incomplete, imperfect android model that a computer finished. While still imperfect, Cell showed amazing strength and, using his tail, absorbed androids 17 and 18, becoming "The Perfect Cell." In this state, he was so powerful that he couldn't be harmed in the slightest way even by Goku. He destroyed android 16 ruthlessly, thus making Gohan so angry that he went Super Saiyan level 2. This caused his downfall as Gohan beat him up 'til #18 was freed and he was, again, imperfect. From there, he blew himself up, but not before Goku teleported Cell and himslef to King Kai's planet, killing Cell, Goku, King Kai, Gregory, and Bubbles. He reconstructed himself in the perfect form from one surviving brain cell, only to be disentedrated by Gohan. Cell Jr. These little guys were created by Cell, and, like there creator, show amazing strength. Just one managed to knock out Vegeta. They're only fightable if you lose your first battle with Cell, and are good for gaining extra health. Zangya Bojack's daughter and one of the bad guys in movies nine and ten. I, however, know little about her or her father, as I have yet to see those movies. Bojack The father of Zangya and the big bad guy of movies nine and ten. Did you notice that when in the story part of the game he's a blue, muscular, pirate dressed guy with orange hair who looked like he could get girls from all over the galaxy, while when you fight him he's a shirtless green guy with blood red hair and scarily resembles Blanka from Street Fighter? Brolly Brolly was a Saiyan, the original Super Saiyan, at that, who was with his father, Paragus, when Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza. They both escaped and survived, though noone knew this. Brolly came and attacked Earth in movie eleven (I think). He had hated Kakarott (Goku) ever since he was a baby because he was in a crib next to his. When Goku was a baby, he was supposedly a big crybaby and was constantly bawling at the top of his lungs. This annoyed Brolly and he hated him ever since. In movie eleven, he came to get back at Goku, and surprised everybody when he went Super Saiyan. I don't think Goku was alive at the time, but I'm not sure. Either way, he wanted to destroy Earth because Goku survived only because of the planet. You can only play him with a secret code and can only fight him if you beat the game on hard without losing a battle. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer Character Weaknesses ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Each character has a weakness when playing one player mode. Here's where you can learn them so you can exploit them and make each battle seem like less of a project. Gohan This little guy doesn't have much in the way of weaknesses. However, his arms and legs are quite short, allowing you to attack before he hits you when doing a jump attack. If using Piccolo or Trunks, your legs are long enough to hit him with a flying kick or even just going up to him and kicking without him being able to do anything. This strategy works even in two player mode, and Bojack and Cell can use their leg length as an advantage almost as well as Piccolo. Vegeta This guy loves his Big Bang Attack. And he uses it a lot. However, his strategic gaffe in doing this not that he's constantly stunned after using to much KI energy, but the fact that he tries to use it when he's close to you, leaving him unable to attack for a few seconds while charging. Trunks This guy attacks very quickly, and is like a lightning bolt. However, he often falls for ground and sky attacks. In fact, he virtually never guards or counters them. Piccolo This guy is pretty well rounded, and doesn't have much of a weakness. However, he loves shooting homing blasts. Often you can guide the blast to hit him instead. You just need to be patient fighting him. Or, as an alternative, just attack him all out. Goku This guy has one really annoying attack. It's where he goes kicking and spinning across the stage, and if caught, it's really hard to get out, unless you use a sliding kick in-between his attacks. However, if he misses, he can't stop 'til he's done. This leaves several seconds to shoot a super or homing blast. Cell This guy may seem like he's a very powerful character with no weakness, constantly attacking you when you do jump attacks, shooting Super Blasts at you when your screen is split, and countering or dispelling your Super Blasts. However, he has two weaknesses that can easily be exploited. One: He's a sucker for sliding kicks. He rarely does a thing to defend against them. Two: He loves Blast Duels. However, he sucks at them. Plain and simple. Cell Jr. This guy has no weakness. But then again, he has no strengths either. So there's really nothing to worry about. Zangya Like Cell Jr., she also has no strenghs or weaknesses. But unlike Cell Jr., she doesn't have pathectically low health and is a decent fighter. Bojack This guy is the boss of the game unless you succeeded in reaching Brolly. He has two whole life bars, so you're probably thinking "Oh my God! I'm dead meat!" Don't worry. If you're playing as Gohan, you're so short that many of his KI attacks will go over your head. He does enjoy shooting homing blasts, but those can be guided back at him. Brolly I haven't made it to this guy yet. I'll add him soon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright Info ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2000 Gohan 28.
