Super Butouden 1 Version 1.3 12/08/00 This is my 1st FAQ, but as of now is the best FAQ on this game around as of now(Almost 16 pages, and for a fighting game!) Im going to give stratagies, moves and ratings for each of the 13 charactors (12 if you realize SS Vegeta and regular are the same guy.) None of that introduction stuff and bios are a cheap way to waste space so if I ever put those they'll be short. So read and learn my friends. On the moves list: b=Backwards and B=the button. I had to make up the word "Uncheapness on the Stats. It means "How uncheap they are" It'll make more sense when you get there. Updates ======== Version 1.1 -Fixed some spelling errors(Alot of them) Version 1.2 -Added Basic Moves -Made new section where you can send in stratagies!!!! Send them to me Version 1.25 -Added Some translations of victory sayings. They're about 1/2 done(get the "5" now) I'll finish them in the "near" future Version 1.3 -Finished translations or at least most of em' -Added a rating for Fireball combat to the stats Contents ======= 1.

See their moves) There now some you know how to play. Now I'll go find something useful to do. 3. Goku (Rank=5) Goku is the only charactor in the game who has 8 moves. He is also the only character to have a great, huge, powerful attack that sends people into the air and back to the ground. I had a very hard time ranking him because he's about equal with SS Goku, but not the same. I just put regular Goku ahead because he is more fun. Moves: Fire Jump Kick=(While jumping) F,D + B Jump on Head=Sb, FU + B Kaioken=D for 2 seconds, U + A Mini Spirit Bomb=D, DF, F + A Back up and Elbow=D, Db, b + Y Mega Combo!=b, bD, D, DF, F, FU, U + B Spirit Bomb=F, FD, D, Db, b + A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) Kamehameha=D, Db, b, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Strategy: Goku is defiantly not the best close range fighter, long range fighter, or the best in any specific type of combat at all. He's good cause of his Great, powerful moves, just like in the show. Anyway, the best strategy with Goku is to use the Kaioken attack...alot. When ever you plan on going into close range combat you should use Kaioken. It makes you blink without reaching your maximum power. This makes you attack faster, jump higher and farther and make your attacks a bit more powerful. If Kaioken is used with the Fire Jump kick you can basically have as much jump range as perfect Cell. Whenever you get into close range combat use Goku's Big Combo move. If you didn't master this yet use the back up and Elbow thing or jump on their head and run away. Another good strategy for big levels is to run across the screen until you are incredibly far from your opponent. Wait till the bar in the middle turns black. Now use a mini spirit bomb. It takes a while for him to launch it but it does a ton of damage and is a heat seeker. Try to time it so the bomb will hit them when they're charging at you. Then they won't have time to block it. If you knock someone out use any special move, a mini spirit bomb or the big combo. They're all powerful attacks. As far as regular punches and kicks go, I suggest mixing them up. Do a mix of punches, kicks and trips. Goku can alternate them pretty quickly. Don't under estimate Goku just cause he doesn't have funky, yellow hair. Phew that was long...a whopping 22 lines. Stats: Offense=B+ Defense=A- Air=B Jumps=B Fireball=B Specials=A Uncheapness=B 4.Super Saiyan Goku (Rank=6) When Goku gets super he gets a bit better in jumps and has a bit more stamina than his regular version. The only problem is he lost alot of his cool moves and now has pretty normal attacks. At least he still has 8 moves though. Moves: 3 fire balls=D, DF, F + A Fire Jump Kick=(While jumping) F,D + B Back up and Elbow=D, Db, b + Y Jump on Head=Sb, FU + B Mega Combo!=b, bD, D, DF, F, FU, U + B Kamehameha=D, Db, b, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Spinning fire kicks=b, bD, D, DF, F + B Little heat seaker=D, DF, F + A Strategy: Goku is a bit better in offense and fireball combat now but he lost his long range power. He only has one crappy special. So try to stay kinda close. Now he can be way better in close range combat. Try to enter close range battles wth a Fire jump kick. Then use some Fire spin kicks or a Big Combo. The Fire kicks are usually blocked and countered, but hey maybe you'll get lucky. The problem with the big combo is it knocks people away, giving them a chance to escape. If they keep running from a close range battle try the ol' fireballs. He's improved a bit in fire ball combat. He doesn't have the old charge up for a while and shoot strong spirit bomb thing but he got some new moves. The 3 Fireballs can pound your enemy and are incredibly fast, BUT...there are those people who fly up and down to dodge your fireballs. In case of the use the heat seeker. Lets see them try to dodge that. The heat seekers are also good if someone trys to jump. They can't block while jumping. heh heh heh. On defense Goku is the same. Use a big Combo or an elbow charge if you didn't master the combo yet. But now you have one more strategy. Step on his head and get behind them. Then your behind him and you should hit him with a spinning fire kick in the back! Pretty low, eh? I would say only use Kamehameha When you have a high power bar and when the other person is knocked out. You need to save your power for heat seekers and triple fireballs. In the air SS Goku fights about the same so I guess thats it! Stats: Offense=A- Defense=A- Air=A- Jumps=B+ Fireball=A+ Specials=C Uncheapness=A- 5. Piccalo (Rank=7) Piccalo is an ok guy to play as, but he's not that fun. When you play as him you don't even need to use the Y button. It makes him kinda repetitive. He is pretty good though and his moves are fast. Moves: Fire Jump Kick=(While jumping) F, D + B Eye beams=F, b, F + A Little heat seaker=D, DF, F + A Kick and run=F, b, F + B Arm Stretch=F, FD, D, Db, b + B Beam Cannon=b, bD, D, DF, + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Special #2=F, FD, D, Db, b + A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) Strategy: There are 2 ways to play Piccalo. The 1st is the kicking way. Piccalo's kicks are good because his legs are long. If you kick randomly you can keep people trapped in a corner. This works even better in the air. His punches (or slaps) are very bad on the ground but are fast and look cool in the air. Use kicks anyway though. His legs are also good for tripping because you can trip them from far away with his long legs. The second way to play Piccalo involves alot of hit and run kinda things. You either do an air kick and then run back or do a non-jumping fire kick which will hit them and then send you away. If they ever try to get close to you, use a stretch arm move. That will send them flying across the screen and do good damage. Gohan can duck under the stretch and grab though. If this strategy doesn't work well for you, use alot of heat seekers to catch them of guard and then use one of the strategies. When you use specials, try to use Beam Cannon. for some reason is harder to block than the other one. As for fireball battles, don't get into them. Piccalo will have lots of trouble with triple fireball attacks. Well, thats it for Piccalo. Kinda short... Stats: Offense=B+ Defense=B- Air=A- Jumps=B+ Fireball=B+ Specials=A- Uncheapness=A 6. Vegeta and Super Saiyan Vegeta (Rank=3) Vegeta is the strongest out of the people you have without the code. Super Saiyan Vegeta is the same as the regular. He doesn't change his moves like Goku does. Vegeta is good and VERY cheap. One of the cheapest. Problem is, thers no way not to be cheap with him if you wanna be good. Moves: 3 fire balls=D,DF,F + A Sliding Kick=D,DF,F + B Fire Punchs=F, b, F + Y Weird Flip=Db, FU + B Head Butt=D, Db, b + Y Final Flash=b, Db, D, DF, F + A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) Big Bang=D, Db, b, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Strategy: Ok, there is a little difference between SS Vegeta and regular Vegeta. SS Vegeta can shoot 5 fireballs without getting tired and regular can shoot 4. Also SS Vegeta can jump a little higher. Thats it. won't effect you much. Now for the strategy. You should do the Fire Punches back and forth, non stop. Noone can stop that easily since you move so quickly when you do it. That should be enough to beat anyone but I'll give you some more strategy for no reason. Do the sliding kick alot since it can go under shots and trip people. In fireball battles Vegeta is also a god. Use alot of triple fireball attacks and you can beat most people in that. Vegetas not bad in defense either. His headbutt attack flings people far away but is slow and can be countered. I use the weird flip to go over the other person and then do quick punches in their back. If you get some one in a corner tap Y fast and do lots of quick punches. Vegeta is great in the air too! The sliding kick can catch your opponent off guard and trip them. If you ever use a special, use Final Flash. It's Really Strong and Very hard to block. Don't waste your energy on Big Bang, thats an attack for losers. The only thing not to do with Vegeta is to jump alot since he has no fire kick to attack with or make him come down fast. Another short one... Stats: Offense=A+ Defense=B+ Air=A Jumps=B Fireball=A- Specials=A Uncheapness=D 7. Freiza (Rank=8) This is the only game I can think of that has Freiza at 100% power as a character. After playing with him for a few minuets you can see why they started putting him in his skinny form after this game. He's disgusting, especially when he charges up. Small, muscular, naked aliens aren't really my type of character, but he is kinda fun. Moves: Back up and Elbow=D, Db, b + Y Finger shot=b, F + A Invisible shot=D, DF, F + A Distructo Disk=b, Db, D + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Planet Destroyer=F, FD, D, Db, b + A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) Tail Spin=b, Db, D, DF, F + B Jumping Tail Spin=Db, FU + Y Flipping move=Hold R, let go when something is in front of you Strategy: Freiza is defiantly not someone you should expect to win with. His best feature is that he can mix up his attacks and do them pretty fast. The best thing to do is do a Tail Spin(no, not that bear flying a plane). Keep doing them until you opponent trys to counter and then use a jumping Tail spin. That should hurt them. But if you miss and land behind them and do an Elbow attack, an invisible shot, or a finger shot. If you can ever get someone cornered you can do rapid punches or back up a bit and kick. His kick should be some fast tail whip. In the air his punches and kicks are a bit faster, and since Freiza isn't a very good tripper (curse those short, muscular legs) flying in the air may give him a bit of an advantage over people who trip you alot, like Piccalo. Another great thing is you can use the flipping move to go through shots, or even people. Freiza's Finger Shot, Invisible shot and Elbow move often knock people out (especially the Invisible shot). Try to knock them out alot and then use a special. The Planet Destroyer is very powerful and fast, making it hard to be blocked. Use it when people are tired. Freiza sounds pretty good, right? Well there's 1 BIG thing that brings him down. His jumps are horrible. You hardly go high and fall very fast. Then you take a while to stop squatting after the jump. this makes it very hard to dodge fireballs. In the air his jump is different but just as bad. In the air he floats slowly, right in the fireball area. So overall I say Freiza sucks cause of his lame jumps. If he had better jumps he would be in the Top 5. Stats: Offense=A- Defense=B Air=A- Jumps=F Fireball=A- Specials=A+ Uncheapness=C+ 8. Gohan (Rank=2) Gohan is a really great character because of his small size. Also he's the King of the Air. He's got no equal in the air...maybe Vegeta. His moves are pretty similar to Vegeta's and are fairly predictable but they pack a punch. Moves: 3 fire balls=D,DF,F + A Sliding Kick=D,DF,F + B Flip n' Smash=Db, FU + B Fire Punchs=F, b, F + Y Fire Jump Kick=(While jumping) F,D + B Kamehameha?=b, bD, D, DF + A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) Ma-Sen-Koh=b, Db, D, DF, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Strategy: Gohan is great because of his size. If you just duck on the ground and kick most attacks will go over you. Just try this out. Fight level 4 Perfect Cell and kick on the ground. Watch as all his attacks miss and then he gets hit in the leg. This won't work as well against a human player though.. His sliding kick makes him so low that he can slide under shots. Don't use this against the 3 fireballs though because when you stand up you will be hit. Gohan is also great in the air. Try to get your opponent to fly up there. He can still slide under shots but now you can catch your enemy off guard by tripping him with the sliding kick. Besides that, try to get your opponent in the corner and punching or kicking rapidly. It is FAST. Faster than Perfect Cell's kicks. Your enemy won't be able to get out of the corner. If he stops blocking for a second he will be pounded. If you try this on the ground Your punches and kicks will be way slower and it won't be as good. So go to the air. Gohan's Worst feature is his defense. If you get trapped in a corner all you can do is flip n' smash, and hope they don't block it, or Fire Punches, and try to force them across the screen. Gohan has average specials so I won't discuss them...and cause I'm lazy. Stats: Offense=A Defense=C- Air=A+ Jumps=B Fireball=A- Specials=A Uncheapness=C+ 9. Trunks (Rank=11) It looks like the programmers made Trunks at the last second and really rushed him. He has the same body as Vegeta and most of his moves involve flipping and little knee attacks. They're all kinda slow and easy to block. They could have made him much better if he had some cool sword attacks. Please don't yell at me for giving Trunks such a low ranking...I really didn't want to. Heh. Moves: 3 Fireballs=D,DF,F + A Back up and charge=D, Db, b + Y "Tornado Kick"=b, Db, D, DF ,F + B Flip and knee=DB, FU + B Special #1=b, Db, D, FD, F +A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) Special #2=D, Db, b, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Fire Jump Kick=(While jumping) F,D + B Strategy: Um...not too much you can do to be good with Trunks. Try to stay on 1 screen but as far as you can be without going on a spit screen, and using triple fireball. Other than that you should be defensive. If they get close use a back up and charge move to try to knock them out. Then you can use a "Tornado kick" to try to hurt your opponent or use a flip and knee to try to knock them away from you and possibly knock them out. Trunks has ok specials and if you knock someone out you should try to use one on them. Just like with other characters you can use the fire jump kick to jump over a fire ball and then kick the enemy while he's shooting it. That's all! I can't think of anything else! There are no characters he is the best to fight with or characters he should be extremely scared of. He should use the same defensive strategy on all of them. If you have a good Trunks strategy tell me. My E-mail is at the bottom. Stats: Offense=D+ Defense=B+ Air=B- Jumps=B Fireball=A- Specials=A- Uncheapness=A+ 10. Imperfect Cell (Rank=9) Cell is a really tricky fighter. He can trip you, smash you across the screen and cpunter your attacks without moving alot. He's alot more unpredictable than you'd expect. He can also absorb health which is definitely a hard thing to deal with. He's probably the hardest guy to master though. Moves:Energy Wave=b, Db, D + A Energy Absorb=F, FD, D, Db, b + A Slide Trip=b, Db, D + B Grab n' kick=F, FD, D, Db, b + B Tail Whip=Db, FU + B Kamehameha=D, Db, b, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Beam Cannon=b, Db, D, DF + A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) Strategy: Like I said before, the best thing to do is catch people off guard. Cell isn't too good I offense or defense and is underestimated cause of it. Now look at Cell for a second. I bet you wouldn't Expect a big guy like that to suddenly start to slide and trip you or quickly grab you and kick you across the screen. Try to get your opponent off guard. The Energy Wave is another great one. That's a VERY fast shot that can go under other fireballs. Use that when your enemy trys to shoot, then they won't be able to block. Ok, that's enough of the "catch off guard stuff". Cell's cornering is ok. His kicks are slow but his punches or "slashes" are pretty fast. Also when cornering, the trip and the Energy Absorb are pretty good. If you can master Energy Absorb (Something not even I have done!!!!) you can take health and keep the other person a little distance from you. If you keep using it over and over (I can't, lol) you can keep them stuck in the corner for the whole match. Cell's fireball combat is fair. As I said, the Energy Wave is fast and unpredictable. Also, if you tap A cell can keep shooting fireballs without lowering his arm. He still gets tired though. His Tail Whip is better just for suprising people than defending from air attacks. Usually their hand or foot hits Cell's tail and you both get hurt. Just like Freiza Cell's jumps are what makes him suck. He has the highest jumps but they have the least range. The long time he spends jumping leaves him open to tons of attacks. In the air his jumps still stink, ut go a little farther. That's all. Oh yea if you knock someone out use a special or if your low in health, absorb. Stats: Offense=B- Defense=B Air=B+ Jumps=D Fireball=B Specials=A Uncheapness=C+ 11. Perfect Cell (Rank=1) Now some people are probably saying, I know that Perfect Cell is probably the worst character in the game, just gotta find his weaknesses. YOUR WRONG!!! He's defiantly the best. there are some ways to beat him and make a fool out of him, but overall he's still number 1. Moves: 3 Fireballs=D,DF,F + A Super Beam Cannon=D,DF,F,b + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Powerful little ball thing=F,DF,D,Db,b + A (Must have 1/2 of power bar full) VERY GOOD flipping kick=Db, FU + B Sliding kick=F, FD, D + B Fire Jump Kick=(While jumping) F,D + B Grab n' Throw=F,DF,D,Db + B (Be close) Strategy: Perfect Cell Doesn't really need strategy, but here it is anyway. His punches are slow, if your on the ground and wanna do one of those cheap "Corner em' with the fast punches and kicks things" use the kicks. His kicks are to fast for anyone to challenge. But, they should not be overused! A few characters like Goku and Vegeta have moves that can jump over it then land on your head or get behind you. If they get behind you you'll have trouble stopping you kicks and they'll get some hits off you. If you wanna be cheap use the "VERY GOOD flipping kick". If you keep using that (Like the Level 4 computer does) noone will get out easily ('cept Gohan). That reminds me, DON'T USE THE FLIPPING KICK ON GOHAN!!! He can duck under it and trip you when you land. Try shooting triple fire balls at Gohan. Now Its time to praise Perfect Cell's speed. He is very quick, his jumps are the longest and second highest in the game. If some one does a triple fireball attack you can easily jump over all 3 and finish them with a fire jump kick. However, Cell has a problem, people like Android 18 and 16 have unlimited energy. They can keep shooting you and if you try to jump 18 has heat seekers that can hit you in the air. So beware, Good players can beat Perfect Cell. But your almost invincible anyway. Thats long for a guy who needs no strategy. Stats: Offense=A+ Defense=A- Air=B Jumps=A+ Fireball=A- Specials=A Uncheapness= F 12. Android 20 (Rank=12, LAST) Man...I really wish they put someone like Krillen or 17 or even Chi-chi in instead of this poor excuse for a fighter. 20 never even fought in the show, he just got pounded by Piccalo. Couldn't they have used Android 19 instead. 20 is ugly, wimpy, slow, cheap and has an annoying voice. Moves: Poke in the back=F, b, F + Y Eye beams=F, b, F + A Jump on Head=Sb, FU + Y Uppercut=D, DF, F + Y Energy Aborb=b, bD, D, DF, F + A Head Butt=D, Db, b + Y Random Shot=D, DF, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) SPECIAL ABSORB=U + A (when special comes at you) Strategy: After playing with 20 for a few minuets you will realize why he is the worst and one of the cheapest characters in the game. The main strategy with 20 is to use the Energy absorb non stop. This is the way of the cheap player though. You will keep injuring them and stealing life. You shouldn't use any other attacks. Maybe poke them in the back a few times to get behind them. Another cheap thing is that the absorb is unblockable. A less cheap(but still cheap) strategy is to shoot specials at your opponents. When they try to shoot specials back, you just absorb them. Thats all you should do with 20. Here's what you should not do. Don't go on offense if you don't have alot of energy for absorbing. You'll get pounded. Don't get cornered. 20's head Butt can knock them away BUT its slow and you might get tripped while your using it. His poke in the back is ok BUT its easy to block and hard for 20 to stop doing. You should jump on their heads and run as fast as you can. Don't get in fireball battles. 20 gets tired after shooting 2 fireballs. Don't jump. His jumps are slow and he has no moves to do while jumping. Don't try to punch or kick randomly. He can't do them very fast and when the other person blocks them, it gives them alot of power. Going in the air is optional but it's a bit harder for me to do the absorb when I'm up there. That's it for strategy, but if you want a laugh look at his stats. Stats: Offense=C Defense=C- Air=C Jump=D- Fireball=C Specials=A+ Uncheapness=F 13. Android 18 (Rank=10) In most fighting games the girls are the fastest characters in the game. Its not like that at all here. Android 18 is one of the slower people in this game. She also has the most annoying voice. Moves:Uppercut=D, DF, F + Y Jump on Head=Sb, FU + B Energy Wave=b, Db, D + A Little heat seaker=D, DF, F + A Slide Trip=D, DF, F + B Back up and Elbow=D, Db, b + Y Butt Smash=D, U + B Sheild=U + A (When special comes at you) Special=D, Db, b, F + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Strategy: Android 18 has alot of close range moves but they're not all that useful. 18 should try to get into fireball battles. She has unlimited stamina and can keep shooting fireballs without getting tired. Besides that she has a heat seeker for hitting people who jump and the incredibly fast Energy wave. I've beaten Perfect Cell by just shooting with her. It's also good to get into special fights because he shield move can easily block specials without doing any damage to her. If you ever get forced into close range combat...run. She is one of only 2 people in the game who have no fast moves where you catch on fire. Her close range moves are slow and easy to block. The step on the head thing is good for getting behind the enemy and running. The elbow move is the best thing for close range because it will knock them away. If you really want to fight close up (You Fool!) use the slide trip to trip people(obviously). Also use the Butt Smash(lol). That does good damage but sometimes goes over your opponent and misses. Try not to jump alot with 18. Her jumps are alot like Freiza's and are really bad. Going in the air doesn't help too much either. Just shoot alot of fireballs. Stats: Offense=C- Defense=B- Air=C+ Jumps=D- Fireball=A Specials=A+ Uncheapness=B 14. Android 16 (Rank=4) Android 16 is a strong fighter but really isn't that fun since he doesn't do to much in the show. His attacks seem to do more damage than other people's (alien's, android's, whatever) and he has a nice variety of them. Moves: Arm Stretch punch=F, b, F + Y Eye beams=F, b, F + A Spin and kick=D, DF, F + B Jump on Head=Sb, FU + B Rocket Punch=D, DF, F + A Rapid Fire Kicks=F, b, F + B Hell's Chush=b, bD, D, DF + A (Must have 1/4 of power bar full) Strategy: 16 is big and strong. Most of his attacks are meant to take your opponents' attacks and turn them around. 16 has a great offense and defense. If someone gets to close, BAM!!! hit 'em with the arm stretch and send 'em flyin'. Someone trys to trap you in a corner use the spin kick to dodge a punch and BEAT THEM DOWN. Then you would use Eye beams to do a ridiculously large amount of damage or do the fire kicks to force them across the screen and do damage at the same time! He's great at fireball combat too! His arm stretch can dodge a shot if used right and his rocket punch breaks through shots, hits you enemy and does a ton of damage. The only problem with the rocket punch is that you have to wait for it to come back. If a fireball follows it back, it will hit him while his hand reattaches. Another thing that makes him great is that he has unlimited stamina like 18. He can't get tired. So he can shoot as many fireballs as he wants. The only problems with are that he's too big a target and may have trouble fighting people like Gohan, and his punches and kicks are kinda slow. He's really strong but not a character who most people would wanna use alot. His voice sounds annoying, he's slow, and not a famous character from the show. Stats: Offense=A- Defense=A+ Air=B+ Jumps=B Fireball=A Specials=C Uncheapness=B 15. Interesting Facts Here's a bunch of cool stuff that you can find out about this game. Stamina: Each character has a different number of regular fireballs they can shoot before getting tired. Here they are. Android 16 and 18=UNLIMITED Super Saiyans, Imperfect Cell and Perfect Cell=5 fireballs in a row Android 20=2 fireballs in a row. Pathetic! Everyone else=4 fireballs in a row If you are long distance you stamina will last longer When Piccalo trys to reflect or deflect a shot and fails but lives, his arm blows off. Then he regenerates it and moves his fingers. When Vegeta does it he whips his lip. They can get hit during this but its's pretty fast and almost never happens. Try to see it! If you fight yourself you get to hear new sound affects. For example, if you fight Goku against Goku, you will be able to hear him say spirit bomb when he uses spirit bomb and Kaioken when he does Kaioken. The 1st time a move is used against a blocking person it does a little damage, but after 3 of the same attack in a row it stops doing damage when someone blocks it. In story mode loose to Perfect Cell with Gohan or Piccalo and hear a sound effect. :) 16.

Almost complete, but I probably wont come back for the rest 17. Strategies from other people!!!! Maybe you have your own strategy but it's to small to post on GameFAQs.com so if you have a strategy that I don't (maybe one for Trunks) then send it to me and I'll put it up and put your name next to it. Give em' to me at DarkBlueAnt@aol.com From Wazpy(Wazpy@aol.com):There's no way to block Absorb, so when fighting Cell or Android 20 use alot of back up and charge moves or those grab and throw moves. Then they will get knocked away to quickly for them to absorb you. 18. The Walkthrough! Ok, heres the deal. Theres a secret ending of the game if you beat it in the game on level 4 with certain characters fighting certain matchs.The characters you must fight the match with are listed next to the enemy's name. I'm going to give strategy(gettin sick of that word) for each match to make it much less annoying. BEFORE YOU START SET CONTINUES TO UNLIMITED. One thing to remember is that if the character you have to beat the match with dies, you have to loose with the other characters. Then you continue and try again with the character you need. Piccalo (with Goku) This isn't too hard. When ever he trys to grab you with his stretch arm shoot a fire ball. Hit him with the fire jump kick alot and if he gets knocked out use a big combo. Thats all. Vegeta (With Goku) Start off by shooting 2 fireballs and the run left. Fly in the air and charge up alot (Down in the air). Use lots of Specials or go very far away, till the middle bar turns dark blue. Then use a mini spirit bomb. In close range use Kaioken and Big combos. Not to complicated. Freiza (With SS Goku) They pump you up for this match and attacks do ALOT to him. Use alot of specials to win this match. Wouldn't hurt to throw in some Goku combos and heat seakers if you can. Thats the best thing to do. Android 20 (With Piccalo) This is ALOT harder. He is VERY CHEAP. He always absorbs you and you can't use specials. There is only one good thing you can do. Stand on the same screen. Stay as far away as you can without making it a spit screen. Then use a fireball. Now Quickly duck and kick. He will dodge the fireball, charge at you, and run into your foot and fall. Do this non stop. If you get tired he will beat you down. But if you survive that do this again. Keep doing it till you die. The other stratagy is do Piccalo's kick foward and back thing non stop. It works really well, but you might get tired and start messing up. Android 18 (With SS Vegeta) Do Fire Punches back and forth and you will win. Thats it. EASY. Imperfect Cell (With Piccalo) Do alot of Specials and heat seekers. Stay Very far from him. If he gets close stretch you arm and kick him away or do a Fire Kick and Run. Best thing to do is use specials. Android 16 (With SS Goku) Start with a jump on the had and then run away. Fly in the air and charge up while staying as far away as possible (Middle bar must be dark blue). Charge up and use lots of heat seekers. When he gets close, fly to the other side and do it again. Trunks (With SS Vegeta) Fire Punches back and forth. Dont trap him in a corner. If he gets in a corner back away and let him come out. His attacks do a Ton of damage! Fire Punches should work Gohan (With SS Goku) Use a bunch of jumping Fire kicks. Also use a bunch of triple fireballs. When ever you get a chance use a big combo or a special. Watch out for gohan's fireballs. Perfect Cell (With Gohan) EASY. Duck on the ground and just kick. He will keep flipping over you and run into your feet. When he gets knocked out wait 2 seconds and then use a Fire punch. Keep doing it till you win and prepare for... FINAL BATTLE (WITH GOHAN, SS GOKU or...MR.SATAN(aka Hurcule)!!!) You made it!!!! Now this is a final battle against Perfect Cell. It has new music and Mr.Satan is on the character select. Pick SATAN 1ST!!!!! If you dont pick him first his picture disappears and you cant see him. He shows off alot and then Cell slaps him away. His face will still be there. Now pick it again. This time he pretends to have a stomache ache because he's scared to fight. After the 2nd time, Satan is gone. Now use Gohan or Goku to fight him. I'd say Cell is above the maximum difficulty. 6 attacks from him can kill you. With Gohan use the same strategy as before and beat him. With Goku run across the screen and shoot lots of heat seekers. Another Goku thing to do is use alot of combos. Get him in the corner then do a 4 kick thing when he gets up. He'll probably fall over and get knocked out. Then use a special. After you do all this, that's equal to about 3 or 3 of his regular attacks He will block all specials. Have fun watching the credits when you win. There is also a picture with Goku, Gohan, Piccalo, Trunks and Vegeta that says the end. Oh, also this match has some cool music in the background that isn't in the sound test. 19.Copyright and Credits Ok, if you wanna use this on your site ask me 1st.
