To Get Mecha Frieza

Ok Mecha Frieza is kind of hard to get but it's worth it! First of course u have to have Frieza (play through namek saga at any level). Second you have to have 12,000 zenie. What you do is go to Mr. Popo's skill shop and go down to the recommended capsule and check if there is a support skill called "Freiza's Spaceship" if it's not there then leave the skill shop and go back in and check again. You'll probably have to do this a lot (I did). Once you check and it is there then buy it. It can only be used by Freiza (duh). If you give your custom Freiza this skill it takes up 4 spaces on your skill sheet, but it's worth it because once Freiza reaches 0 health the spaceship will come and beam him up. He will then fly back down with full health, max Ki, and he will be Mecha Freiza. He fights as if he was freiza in his final form (he can do Death Ball) but he looks a lot cooler

Get All Characters

Complete story mode (including the extra sections after initially completing the game). The remaining characters can be unlocked by winning world match on all difficulties.

To Get GT. Sayaman

Beat Advanced mode in tournament mode. (hint) Use Teen Gohan in normal mode (unless you can do ss:2). He may be short but he has strong leg muscles. That's how I beat it.

DragonBall Z: Budokai Hints

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.

Stronger Attacks

If you want stronger attacks buy two of the same capsules if you buy meteor break trunks} super dragon fist {goku} two times put them together it will do the normal move plus a special series of attacks try it kill them in style.

Energy Drain

If you have trouble beating opponents in any of the World Tournaments I stumbled onto some help for you. If you have already played thru the regular game with Goku and have faced Android 19 and the Virual Heart Saga this should work for you. Here how its works if you have the Virula Heart Disease Capsule and the Vaccine Capsule equipped them in the edit skills box and any other moves you have or want. Then when you select your character make sure you select custom. As the match begins you will notice the enemy you are fighting will lose energy. As you continue to fight and hit him with attacks the enemy will lose energy very rapidly. Easier kills for those hard to beat folks in the game. The only person I had to watch out for was Captain Ginyu and his body switch. This works because the computer doesn't have the vaccine equipped so it just drains the energy from the character as you fight.

Power Up

Want to know how to power up? Well I can tell you. Hold X down and press the back arrow twice ( note the second time you have to hold the back arrow as well as X )and you should see your guy's kai gauge going up ( it only goes up to 6 or 7 )you also should see a glowing ring thing around your guy.

Foggy Valley Plains

When choosing what place you want to fight at, choose Valley Plains, but instead of pressing X to choose it, press square. Then you will fight at a foggy Valley Plains.

Better ''Blaze Zone'' Controls

If you've played D.B.Z.budokai1 there is something called ''Blaze Zone'' .When you fight really fast like in the show. In the begging of ''Story Mode' it tells you to press guard, punch, and kick really fast. And that's kind of hard. So instead of that move both analog sticks or just the right one to fight faster and win

Easy Way To Win Tournament Mode

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.

Vegeta's Skills

Power Up = hold x press back hold back
Super Sayian = triangle R2
Galick Gun = square x4 circle
Final Flash = square x2 Triangle x2 circle
If you are going to buy some of Vegetas skills buy Super Sayian Vegeta, Super Vegeta, Final Flash, Big Bang & Galick Gun.

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.

Better Breakthrough Tip

When you call Shenron and are at the point of the three choices dont wish yet. Remove the memory card and wish (it doesnt 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.

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.

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.

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.

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! 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 !!

Vegeta Moves

Super Saiyan: With 4 or More KI Guauges
Square,triangle,X
Galick Cannon(A) ! Ki Gauge Used
Square,Square,square,square,O
Galick Cannon (B)1 Ki Gauge
square,right,square,square,o

Moves for Trunks

Go S.S:With three or more ki gauges, P, K, G. Buster cannon:PPPP Ki button. Finish buster:P right+p p ki button.

Shenron Confusion

When you go to get a wish from shenron. Right when you make the wish as soon as it says save compleat (asactly on time) then you hit the reset button then you will have your wish and the dragon balls will still be there!!!

Ultimate Tactic

This is the way to be unbeatable in dbz go to edit skills and go to goku put on potential (boosts power level) kamehameha 2 king kai fist 2,5 and 1 third senzu bean plus super dragon fist you r now unbeatable my friend so play on

Cheat about The tower

When you are up on the tower with some powerful use their special attack. Like super Kameha or spirit bomb or something like that. When you use it he tower will be blasted out the sky. You will also be standing in a huge crater in the ground.

Goku Killer Strategy

This is probably the best strategy for Goku I have found, and its my favorite. Okay, This is what you do, go to Mr. Popo's shop and buy 2 warp kamehamehas or 1 if you already have one, then buy another kamehameha (Goku) and then you buy the green capsule labeled Geros perpetual energy machine or something with the name Geros pepetual..., note: this is a rare skill and can only be found once you have, from my point of view, all characters and you have beaten all of story mode. Once you have that, go to customize characters, select Goku, remove everything from him, then put in the 2 kamehamehas and the 2 warp kamahamehas ad finally Geros perpetual energy machine. This will enable Goku to have unlimited energy and the doubles of the kamehamehas and warp kamehamehas make them twice as strong.

Key Blast

Charge up for keyblast/kick for Hercule this. Press these x(hold) right(2)Left(Hold)Let go of x. This is for key blast for everyone. When you play any character use except Hercule. Hercule kicks he dose not do key blast. And to do key blast/kick Press circle.

Neat Thing About Kami's Lookout.

When ever you go to Kami's lookout go with either Goku or Gohan. Than with Goku transform into King Kai Fist x2,5,10. Use Spirit Bomb and the whole lookout will be destroyed and you will be in a huge crater. Same with Gohan except transform into ss2 then use Super Kamehameha.
