Great Strategy

This is one of my best and favorite strategies to win in duel mode against the computer or your friend. Select Captain Ginyu as your character. Once you start the match, don't fight back. Wait until you only have about half of your yellow meter left, then do Captain Ginyu's body switch (right+square,square,triangle,circle). Your opponent should gain your low health and body and you should get their high health and body. Then all you have to do is finish them off with their own special move (Press Start then go to Skills Sheet).

The easy way to turn super saiyan

First, get the super saiyan ability, then press R1 and R2 at the same time to transform. this way can be used for anyone's type of transformation.

To get Teen Gohan

When selecting character, highlight kid gohan and press square, you should get a box giving you the choice of kid gohan or teen gohan.

If you are going to buy some of Vegetas skills buy Super Sayian Vegeta, Super Vegeta, Final Flash, Big Bang & Galick Gun.

Easy Way To Win Tournament Mode

message: All you have to do is pick Captain Ginyu in tournament mode. Don't do anything and when you are in the red life bar use his body switch technique. You will have your opponents high life and ki and your opponent will have your low one. I have won all of tournament mode with this move. I got 50,000 zenie and got a red capsule which had Super Trunks 2. So do this trick always. 

Spirit Bomb

You can do this only with goku and cell!!!!!!!! With cell you go to perfect form and have more than 3 ki.Then if you are on the left side of the screen you press P Left& P Left& P & K & O.If your on the right side of the screen you press P Right & P Right & P & K & O!!! For Goku you have to get the skill and put it under custom mode then when you pick your player pick goku and go to custom mode then when you play you need to be either king kai fist 2,5, or 10! Then if your on the left side of the screen press P Left & P & P & K & O! If your on the right side of the screen press P Left & P & P & K & O!

Tip: You can only do spirit bomb with cell if your in Perfect form.You can not do the spirit bomb with goku as a super saiyan! You can only do it with goku as king kai fist 2,5,or 10 !!

Easy way to get all DragonBalls

You can collect all 7 DragonBalls during the game, They cost 8000 Zenie at Mr. Popo's Shop. The are listed under Recomended and you can buy them over and over.  Just keep going in and out of Mr. Popo's shop until it shows a black capsule by the word recommended and it will say like '1-7 star DragonBall'. That saves you from going to recommended and buying and buying till it pops up a DragonBall capsule.

SS4 Goku

Beat tournament mode with all characters on advanced then hold select + X while selecting goku he should power up to ss4 but he is only as strong as a normal ss but it is still cool.

Breakthrough Tip

When all 7 dragonballs are collected you summon shenron(as you should know already)and you get to choose between 3 characters to give breakthrough too.If you dont want any of those characters to have it,reset your PS2 and go back into it.To get all 7 dragonballs,go in and out of "edit skills" until a dragonball comes up at recommended,and you should have no problom getting all 7. Note:It does take a while for the dragonballs to show up so you have to have patience for this.

Better Breakthrough Tip

When you call Shenron and are at the point of the three choices don’t wish yet. Remove the memory card and wish (it doesn’t matter who because it will say that there is no memory card). When asked to retry say no. You will be taken back to call Shenron again. Repeat until the fighter of choice appears in the list then re-insert the memory card and it will be saved.

Alternate Outfits

Highlight the name of the character you want the alternate outfit of and press square. When it goes to the fight, your character will be wearing an outfit worn once in the show.
