Hint: Defeating Bosses:
When fighting a Boss, have a special move, teleport, and a good combo chosen. Run up to the Boss enough to teleport behind them, then do a combo. When he or she gets thrown away, lock on quickly and hurl a special move to cause maximum damage.

Hint: Defeating Captain Ginyu:
When you are fighting Captain Ginyu, he digs underground most of the time and attacks from underneath. To avoid this, get up in the air and stay there. Captain Ginyu cannot fly. When you are up in the air, you can charge your Ki or a special move then keep launching attacks at him. He should be defeated after awhile.
raging dragon.

You will need the attack Uppercut Special Move and Teleport. He digs a lot -- stay in the air. It is also useful to recharge the Ki meter in the air for some Bosses. Use uppercut on Captain Ginyu, then do Galik Gun when he falls to the ground. Wait until he gets half way up, then teleport behind him. Do punch and kick combos. Repeat this until he has been defeated.

Hint: Defeating Cell:
Once in SS1, do only simple combos with a lot of buttons involved. The more buttons the better. Try using the first two combos that you learn. Note: You must have Combo Breaker. Try not to use Ki moves unless you have to; the longer you must charge, the more open you are to attacks.

Hint: Defeating Frieza:
When fighting Frieza in Tyranny Of Friezam, he will Shoot Death Balls at you. Either dodge them, or when you are close to him, punch or kick him. He will dodge your Galick Guns by teleporting. Just punch him until Piccolo arrives.

Hint: Defeating Imperfect Cell:
Once you are on the island, Sabamen will start attacking you. After the Sabamen, Imperfect Cell will appear. When you fight him you can kill him easily. Use uppercut, then lock on to him. Then, do Galik Gun. He will fall to the ground. Transport and do a another Galik Gun. Run up to him and start doing kicking combos.

Hint: Defeating Kid Buu:
To defeat Kid Buu, you must use Spirit Bomb with Goku as your character. You must do this for about a half hour until he is defeated.

Hint: Defeating Vegeta:
When fighting Vegeta, stay in the air the entire time. Dodge his Galic Guns. When he uses his other attack, it will only affect you if you are on the ground. While that attack occurs, Vegeta will be vulnerable. Lock on to him with L and hold B to hit him with a Kamehameha Wave. Keep doing this until he is defeated. You should not lose any health by doing this.

Fly in the air so you do not get hit, then stay in the air. Hold B, then when Goku says Kame, release B. It will almost always hit him.

Dodge his moves and get up to him. Keep attacking with X(2), Y(2). Do not stop doing this to prevent Vegeta from guarding. Sometimes he will make a quick guard and start beating you again. Note: He is very fast.

Hint: Hit Dende:
In Tyranny Of Frieza you can hit Dende with Ki balls or a special move.

Hint: Gohan: Defeating Nappa:
Fly while shooting Mesenkos at Nappa. Nappa will eventually start shooting blasts of energy that paralyze you. Quickly dodge them and fire at him.

Hint: Goku: Defeating Freiza:
When fighting Freiza as Goku, you can only hurt him when you are a Super Saiyan. When he charges up his Death Ball, use the Quick Teleport (if purchased) to get to him and deliver the blows to hurt him or charge up your Super Saiyan meter. Try using only punches and kicks, as he will dodge the Kamehame Wave. It will only hit and hurt him if you are Super Saiyan and if done while he is charging up his Death Ball.

Hint: Goku: Finishing moves:
Press Y(5).
yu-gi-ohmaster.

Hint: Teen Gohan: Defeating Perfect Cell:
Keep hitting him until the Ki bar for Super Saiyan is full. Then turn Super Saiyan and keep hitting him until you have filled the Ki bar for Super Saiyan 2. Finally, when you turn Super Saiyan 2 attack Cell with Masenko, but first lock on to him with L. If he teleports behind you, use a combo. Note: Do not waste your Ki on Cell.

Hint: Protecting Goku:
With two players, while one is fighting the Android, have the other person stand in between Goku and Dr. Gero. The Ki Blasts that Dr. Gero shoots should hit the other player instead of Goku. Make sure that they are a short distance away from Goku, as the explosion from taking the Ki Blasts can also hurt him.

Hint: Pendulum room:
All enemies have more health than usual, regardless of difficulty, because you can go back and play any level with any character capable going Super Saiyan/Namek even if they did not exist at that particular point in the game. This is can be useful when playing in the Trunks Saga levels; in both levels under the Hard difficulty you can build up enough energy to go Super Saiyan/Namek ten to twelve times. To defeat Bosses in the Pendulum, build up your Super Saiyan/Namek meter and transform. Do as many combos as possible to keep your meter as high as you can. With any luck, you can defeat the Bosses without changing back to normal. Note: When fighting enemies that used "Combo Breakers" in Play Sagas mode, those enemies will be much more inclined to use the technique, which can cause your Super Saiyan/Namek energy to drain quickly.

Hint: Easy energy blast hits:
When fighting a henchmen or Boss, get him within the view of the screen. You can do this when you are on the ground or in the air. Hold B. When game play slows down and your character starts charging up a blast, press L and put your aiming reticule on your enemy. Press Teleportation (Black). You will teleport directly behind the enemy while you are still charging up. Once you have appeared behind the enemy, immediately release B to blast your enemy at point blank range. If you want to be reckless, charge another one after he falls to the ground from the last attack. Teleport behind him and blast him again. You can do this repeatedly. Note: It is easier to do this when the enemy is distracted by charging up his own blast or doing any other attack that he may be trying to perform. Just hit him with this before he can make it successful.

Hint: Unblockable finisher:
Press Y(4), X with any character.

Hint: Warp finishing move:
When locking onto an opponent with any character, while charging for an attack, teleport in front or in back of your opponent and attack.

Hint: Warp Kamekameha:
To do a Warp Kamehameha or any Warp Ki attack, when charging it lock on to your opponent and teleport.

Hint: Fly backwards:
Jump into the air and press A to hover. Then, hold Left Analog-stick Forward to fly until you nearly reach your maximum speed. Then, immediately hold Left Analog-stick Away and you will fly backwards. Rotate the Left Analog-stick for more backwards-zooming fun.

Hint: Easy practice:
Set the game on two-player mode. Have the second player be Goku or Vegeta. You will win against him because he cannot attack.

Hint: Easy wins:
Throw someone. When they go flying, do Galick Gun, etc. and it will kill them.

Glitch: Play as same character in pendulum mode:
While at the character selection screen, have both players highlight the character you which to be the same as, then press A simultaneously. If done correctly, both should say their names at the same time. Note: The timing must be precise.

Glitch: Invisibility:
Note: You must have purchased the Uppercut and Smash moves. Also, this trick requires two players with friendly fire on in the options. Have the first player uppercut the second player followed by the smash move. When the second player is still in mid-air, he must simultaneously and constantly tap A. If done correctly, the first player will be knocked to the ground, reversing the attack. At this time, the second player will become invisible. This was originally done using Broly (player two) and Trunks (player one). Typically the only way to view the second player is for him to charge his Ki, throw a Ki blast, or fly at full speed. When in combat, moves performed against the invisible player as hand techniques will not harm him. This glitch may require constant tries, thus doing massive damage to each player.
