Then came Budokai 2, also in Japanese but an improvement from the the first, more characters and better game. Then came what was the best Dragonball Z game to come to PS2, Dragonball Z: Budokai 3 which showed improved graphics, more characters, the english language, and more. Some think that B3 is still the greatest and BT is not as good. Recently Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi was released all over the world, made by Spike, not Dimps who made B1,2, and 3. Tenkaichi is a completely different type of game, a free-roaming game, where you travel anywhere in the area and defeat the opponent using different means of Martial Arts and Ki Mastery. Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi offers many new characters, completely new gameplay and a range of different, entertaining modes. ================================================================================ CONTROLS ================================================================================ Menu Controls: D-Pad / L.

Frieza assembled an army of superior warriors from around the galaxy, and sent them out to conquer a host of planets. Whether selling the planets for profit or adding them to his personal collection, Frieza was ruthless in his conquest of all. Fearing that the Saiyan race would one day rise up to oppose him, Frieza killed Vegeta's father, King Vegeta, Goku's father, Bardock, and destroyed the saiyan homeworld, Planet Vegeta. In order to gain his wish for immortality, Frieza and his band of henchmen came to Planet Namek in search of the Dragonballs. What he found, however, was much more than he had bargained for. His trusted lieutenants Dodoria and Zarbon were defeated, and not even his elite Ginyu Force could suceed where they had failed. The situation only grew worse, until finally Frieza's dreams of Immortality were shattered, and in his rage revealed his true nature. In this form, Frieza's Power level already exceeds 500,000. But in response to Vegeta's continued challenges, he later transformed into even more fearsome forms. His favored attacks include the Death Beam and Death Ball attacks. His overwhelming power typically allows him to fight in a calm, self-assured nature. The depth of Frieza's cruelty is somewhat concealed by his polished, almost aristocratic manner of speech. Frieza 2nd Form In this form Frieza's power level can exceed 1,000,000! In this form, Frieza grows much taller and bulkier and also sprouts two large horns. In addition to Death Beam and Death Ball attacks, Frieza uses his great horns as weapons. Frieza 3rd Form In his third form, Frieza's Power Level increases greatly and he changes in shape again. Frieza's great horns grow and there are now four of them, and his whole body has metamorphisised into something far more hideous. Also Frieza's personality reverts to the composed attitude he possesed in his first form. Firza now learns an array of new high speed beam attacks. Frieza Final Form Unlike his previous forms, Frieza's Final Form is small, sleek, and plain. Despite his weak appearence, his power level is MUCH higher than his 3rd Form. In this form, in addition to his Death Beam and Death Ball, he makes use of his telekinetic powers and a new beam attack, Energy Cutter. Frieza 100% Full Power This is Frieza's final transformed state, in which he releases to combat the mighty Super Saiyan Goku. Frieza's body in this form is slightly larger due to a large increase in muscle and power. In this form, Frieza utilizes his 100% Death Ball and Destructo Disc attacks. Mecha Frieza On the brink of death Frieza is rescued by his father, King Cold, who conducts Reconstructive Surgery bringing him back once again. It is supposed that in this form, Frieza has roughly the same moves and power level as his 100% Full Power Form. Icers/Changlings Frieza's Race is known around the world as "Icers" or "Changlings." There are four Icer's/Changling's known in existence, they are: -Frieza -King Cold (Frieza and Coolers' Father) -Cooler (Frieza's Brother) -Kuriza (Frieza's Son, appears in Neko Majin Z, a manga/comic designed by Akira Toryama himself) ================================================================================ STATS ================================================================================ ---------------------------------------------- a) Base Form ---------------------------------------------- Starting Health= 39,600 Starting Ki= 33,000 Health= 2 Speed= 3 Ki= 2 Attack= 3 Defence= 3 Favourite Moves= 1 Finishing Moves= 1 Super Finishing Moves= 1 Low stats as in any Base/Normal Form Warrior. ---------------------------------------------- b) 2nd Form ---------------------------------------------- Starting Health= 48,000 Starting Ki= 40,000 Health= 3 Speed= 1 Ki= 1 Attack= 4 Defence= 1 Favourite Moves= 1 Finishing Moves= 2 Super Finishing Moves= 1 Good attack stat and pretty good health. ---------------------------------------------- c) 3rd Form ---------------------------------------------- Starting Health= 37,400 Starting Ki= 32,000 Health= 2 Speed= 6 Ki= 1 Attack= 2 Defence= 1 Favourite Moves= 2 Finishing Moves= 3 Super Finishing Moves= 1 A decrease in health from the last form, but huge increase in speed.

Frieza's first battle was against Vegeta, when he was in his normal form. Then, at the wish of Vegeta, Frieza transformed into his 2nd Form. Frieza destroyed all of his opponents, Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta, in this form, until the new, fused Piccolo appeared and beat him. Then Frieza transformed into his 3rd Form showing more power than the Z Warriors thought possible. Gohan and Piccolo fought him in this form, Piccolo failed and Gohan came close to crushing him with a powerful outburst of Ki. Frieza was begining to get fed up with them, so he transformed into his Final Form, not like any of his others. More Power, More Speed, and Weird Looks(all of his forms were weird anyway). Vegeta and Dende were killed by his terrifying power, they thought Frieza had won, until Goku appeared recovered and stronger than ever. A clash of Super-Powers occurred Goku matching and damaging Frieza as much as Frieza damaged him. Then Frieza revealed that he was only fighting at 1% of his true power! So Frieza powered up to much more powerful state and began destroying Goku in the battle, until Vegeta and a disturbing nightmare brought Goku to his feet again, and with a brilliant idea. The Spirit Bomb! Goku began charging his bomb, while Frieza having no clue what he was doing, apart from looking like an idiot. Eventually Frieza had had enough and attacked Goku, Piccolo bought him some time to get more power, and when Frieza eventually found out that a huge ball of energy lay in the sky it was too late. Frieza threw a Death Ball at the the bomb as it approached him, but the Spirit Bomb absorbed it. Frieza was crushed into the earth by the Bomb's great power. But it was not over... Frieza was back and was back to kill that saiyan scum who had sent him to hell by being hit with the awesome Spirit Bomb. Frieza's first task was to kill Goku, Death Beam! and a small beam of energy travelled at high speed toward the startelled Goku, but Piccolo was there to save the day, just as it was about to get to Goku, Piccolo jumped in front of it and took the pain for him.Frieza could only laugh at Goku's ever growing rage. With a outstretching hand and his great power, Frieza picked up Goku's best friend, Krillin and blew him to ashes. "KRILLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goku screamed, "You've taken it to far Frieza, you must die, i cannot forgive you for what you have done!" And with that a great transformation, 1000 years in the waiting appeared, Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan! Frieza's worst nightmare's had been realised Frieza had always feared the saiyan race for this reason, and now he would be destroyed by his slave race. Goku had so much power that Frieza was almost nothing to him anymore, he could toy with him all he liked. Until Frieza powered up to his 100% Full Power and they were almost matched in every way. Planet Namek had become unstable from the battle and it only had 5 minutes till its destruction, Goku had to finish it and get out before then. Frieza then demonstrated a Destructo Disk technique of his own. Two disks which constantly followed Goku wherever he went, until Goku led the Disk's into Frieza chopping him in half, silencing the monster for good. But Goku was merciful and despite all of Frieza's evil deed's gave him some of his Ki to get off Namek, but Frieza used the energy to fire off a final shot at Goku, he easily overpowers it and with a "You Fool!!!" destroys Frieza. Months Later... Frieza lay in pieces scattered throughout space, but his father, King Cold, gathered him together and with Reconstructive Surgery, Frieza was back. Frieza and King Cold travelled to Goku's home planet, Earth to destroy him and the planet out of revenge. When they arrived they found no Goku and no Z Warriors they knew they knew they were outmatched and Goku had never come back to Earth after defeating Frieza. But a mysterious youth appeared claiming to be a true super saiyan, Frieza, King Cold and their henchmen greatly underestimate Frieza and with his awesome blade, Trunks, the mysterious youth, destroys Frieza for good. Then he easily disposes of his father, ending the reign of Frieza forever. ============================================================================= COMBAT STRATEGIES FOR FRIEZA ============================================================================= -Spam As with any other character just start the battle as you would normally maybe pulling off a couple of combo's to get ki, and if in an area with points to get out of view or knock opponent into a water area, do that and gather as much ki as possible before they get out or find you, then: A) if in survival battle keep spamming beam attacks or charged ki blasts (rocks in Hercule's case) B) if in defeat within time limit, with attack ???, or defeat with all your might, just constantly hit with beam e.g Kamehameha, then they fall, Charge Ki, Fire again, repeat until done. C) Get familiar with throwing your opponent silly, because if you throw them up it gives a lot of time to charge and waste time/run away (COWARD!). -Constablock Consta = Constant Block = Block Constantly hold down block, this works VERY well in "Survive until time runs out" battles, and if you want throw in a couple of combo's or beam attacks if you have the Ki. -Others These arent really strategies but are useful things that forms of Frieza have "Long Awaited-For 100%" - Full Power Frieza / Mecha Frieza This takes you straight to Max Power Mode, useful if u need/want to use 100% Death Ball or just want to spam beams/ki blasts. Charge Ki Blast - Mecha Frieza Its a special blast that a few have which gives the opponent a quick shock leaving them open to smash and beat to death ^_^ Also most of the forms of Frieza have "Psychokinesis" which paralyzing the in-range enemy for a while, long enough to fly away or charge ki or pull of a combo. Also,this applies to any of the LARGE characters in the game, make good use of your size as you have awesome strength and defence, combo's usually dont even disturb you. NOTE: Will add more soon, feel free to e-mail me your Frieza combat strategies as long as they have an appropriate e-mail title. ============================================================================= THANKS ============================================================================= I would like to thank: -Mum and Dad(for buying the game for me) -Spike(for making the game what it is) -Akira Toryama(for making the awesome anime, Dragonball Z) -Frieza(for being evil and pretty cool to make a faq about) -Others who helped make DBZ and DBZ: BT -Gamefaqs(obvious reasons) ============================================================================= HISTORY ============================================================================= Next Version: -Descriptions of each move -The Battles against and as Frieza -More(Hopefully) ---------------------------------------------- Version 0.85 -Completed nearly everything and ready to post on GameFaq's -Ready to take suggestions and places for improvement ---------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= CONTACT ME ============================================================================= If you wish to contact me for any of these reasons: -Suggestions -Queries -Corrections -Notifications Then my e-mail address is radicalmatt@hotmail.com Please, make the subject/title Frieza FAQ or DBZ: BT FAQ, something to do with BT or Frieza otherwise i will delete it without hesistation at risk of virus' or just plain spam which can be rather annoying.
