I believe that referring to characters like 17 and 18 by their Japanese names is perfectly fine since that is what they were meant to be called - they weren't even meant to be called "androids" but rather "artificial humans". It's quite different from saying Bejita or Torunkusu (...

Why are certain trained humans so very weak in DBZ?

Something that I've always wondered about and that I just recalled as I was playing Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is why are humans such a Videl and Mr Satan so pathetically weak compared to humans such as Krillin and to a lesser extent (I believe) Yamcha? Now I've read the manga up to the arrival of Radditz ...

And for the release date, when does it come out in USA for the PS2, I might be in Singapore but we mostly import games from USA, there is even the NTSC-U/C logo.
In a little over a month on the 13th of November.

So ... you guys think that in five or six months from now when the European and Australian versions are released that they may end up with more characters, levels, and features again? More like a bit over one month. I asked a guy at the counter at EB Games and it's coming out in Australia 22nd Nove...

Well that's interesting, Conan and Rocketman. I don't actually remember it going like that but I trust you (especially since my memory of this is so vague). I'll rewatch it in the near future but my memory of those events at the moment is that it's Vegeta and only Vegeta that crushes the Potara beca...

Re: What do these icons mean when used in a combo listing

He explains what most of the things mean but what does "-s" and "^" mean? I've also seen "~" used in other lists. Anyone know what they mean? Stun move, juggle move, and hold button respectively. It's explained in the FAQ. Thanks - I'm currently using the 18 FAQ and I ...

Well in all honesty what DBZ games need a Japanese PS2/chipped PS2/Swap Magic to be played apart from BT3 which is out in about a month anyway? If it's just so you can play DBZ games a little earlier (and in a foreign language) then maybe it isn't worth it. I tried playing the Japanese BT3 the other...

What do these icons mean when used in a combo listing

I'm just looking at some character FAQs for Budokai 3 over on GameFAQs and this one guy (who wrote FAQs for Gohan and 18) uses certain icons in his combo lists. Here's an example combo: <KK-s, K<K, >KKKKK^, KK>K>KPE 1303/1356 1.0 He explains what most of the things mean but what does "-s" ...

I had a little go the other day and I was surprised to see that they'd taken out the ability to stop locking onto the opponent and free roam and also to search for the opponent with L1. Now you're permanently locked on though many Ultimate Blast moves will knock you out of lock on; you'll then start...

Re: SSJ3 and dead Goku/alive Goku

Oh... I haven't seen that part for many years but I always thought that Kid Buu was meant to be way stronger than any other Buu because the fat Kaioshin was essentially weakening him in some way - thus when he was removed from within Buu, Buu became vastly stronger. Look at it this way: Goku's sens...

Thank you. So just to clarify, he's physically 17 years old but his last birthday was his 16th due to his training in the Room of Spirit and Time? Is Videl the same as his actual age (17) or the same as his "recorded age" (16)? Well, I doubt Chichi would have falsified Gohan's identity pa...

Re: SSJ3 and dead Goku/alive Goku

I always perceived from the rather vague circumstances, that Kid Buu was stronger than fit/adult Buu, but weaker than Gotenks and Mystic Gohan Buu. Oh... I haven't seen that part for many years but I always thought that Kid Buu was meant to be way stronger than any other Buu because the fat Kaioshi...

Gohan and Videl's ages when they meet

I haven't watched the Buu Saga for years (I'm getting there slowly but surely, I'm at the end of the Frieza Saga at the moment) so I may have missed out some obvious things here but I've read on certain sites that Gohan was 18 at this point. Now, I know nothing about the Japanese educational system ...

I haven't tried it myself yet but it sounds as if the Disc Fusion system is comparable to the thing you could do with Sonic and Knuckles on the Mega Drive: You can use the characters from the most recent game in modes from the older games. So you could do the Ultimate Battle mode (or whatever it's c...

Is this magic key thing the item you use with a slimline PS2? I have a normal-type PS2 and use the slide card thing (and have done so for years) and haven't had any problems. I think getting the PS2 chipped is better than getting a PS2 from any other particular region since you just need that one ma...
