You lose a certain quantity when you're hit by a special attack (see later) . The damage depends on the special attack. Yellow (Ki) Bar- This bar controls your Ki. You can lose it when you shot kiballs (fast) or attack (quick). You can recharge it with the Y button. If you lose it all, your character will be tired for a while, can't moving. Balance Bar- This bar is very important. When you attack someone your bar side will grow, and when it gets full by one of the teams, that team selected warrior will do a special move against the targeted enemy. Kicks and punches are more effective than kiballs.

His bad range finishes it all. Has to be the 2nd Best character _________________________________________________________ VI.Misc _________________________________________________________ When you finish story mode with more than 500 points (you get 0 to 100 points after each episode according to the reality, I mean, the more was your play like the real story, the more points you gain), you open up a movie with portraits of all the DB/DBZ story and the raising of Gokou. Nice to watch. When you throw some kiballs or do a special move, generally you destroy some trees. It's not happy but it is funny. The best special moves to destroy the trees are Super Boo's shout, SSJ3 Gohan Combo and SSJ3 Gokou MegaKamehameha. There are some mountains on the stage that can be destroyed, gaining some power on the balance bar and putting the crushed enemy tired. If you smack the enemy against the ground you will gain a bit of balance bar, besides of the hammer balance gain. I call the "Constant Hammer Attack" when you constantly press d+B to do always hammers and smack the enemy countless times to the ground until the balance is finished. But it has to be done against a dumb opponent or he/she will teleport and counter. Some characters have a special movie when they enter on battle for the first time on each episode: 1-none 2-Commando Ginyou show to Freeza 3-Freeza appears on his machine and morphs on all of his phases /Piccolo drop his jacket and cap. 4-Future Trunks drop the jacket and turns into SSJ Future Trunks , absorbing a great quantity of power. 5-Cell makes two Cell Jrs. 6-Adult Gohan drop the jacket and the sun goggles and turn into SSJ Gohan. 7-Gotenks' dancing fusion. 8-Vegitto's fusion. _______________________________________________________ VII-Insight _______________________________________________________ This game was (unfortunately) a failed try. And why? Its style is very different that another games, DBZ or not. The style of the game isn't attractive for some but... in my opinion it was pretty good. The lack of other well-known characters (Tenshinhan, Chaoru, Yamcha, Brawley) condemned this game to the ignorance on most players' minds. It's a bit bad that it will take time to defeat someone, especially the Commando Ginyou. The songs are cool but the way some special moves are (egs. Kuririn's blades pass over enemy's body but don't cut them at all, and Kid Boo's Triple Kick and Fireball leave the opponent stand, even if he dies.) are made is horrible. Details. Only details, you must be thinking. The poor graphics compared to another Saturn games rank badly this game, just like Fighters Megamix or Last Bronx. But it's a good game for hardcore DBZ fans, and even for some that wanted a different fighting game, like me ^_^. _______________________________________________________ VIII-Thanks _______________________________________________________ To Jeremy Peeples (JPEEP2000@aol.com) For telling me how to post FAQs.
