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
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.
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.
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.

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 !!
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 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.
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.
