I finally beat Yamcha game level 3!

Ended up getting Final form Bebi (Just before Oozaru). So it was good to have the option to become giant if I was doing badly. It's pretty easy when you get a strong character.

Only character I have left to unlock is Cyborg Tao.

Good suggestions on that. Cell Game is one of the last ones I have to take care of... I've been fine with no items what-so-ever thus far, but I see that one being an annoyance when I decide to finally tackle it.

On a side note... doing the Yamcha game on difficulty 3 being stuck with Dodoria is just mean.

I can't believe that stupid Yamcha game tournament. Every damn time I went in, it gave me the worst characters! The only "good" one I got was Super 17, and thank God, it was his customized form! :wink:

Oh yeah, I'm still pissed that BT3 doesn't have Super Survivor except for in the opening. Which is instrumental, and I really want to hear Hironobu Kageyama's vocals, but as hard as I wish, It's not gonna come true!! :cry:
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

The vocals are in the UK edition, but the rest of our music is that electronic stuff. I mean you'd think with just about every movie that came out this year having composed music rather than whatever this is, I really hope the Wii vertion has the Japanese music, that way I'd end up buying the game again and not getting ticked off at the fact that unless you alter the music each time you turn on the game each battles starts with "The Meteor"

Isn't there anyway easyer then Hildegarn's story to get the Dragonballs? Hildegarn's story is one of the hardest fights in the game because it is so freaking cheap. All the other ways I know are immensly boring, same for getting z points. The game is really good, to bad unlucking stuff is so freaking boring. Game devolopers noawadays confuse being hard and long with being fun and with a good replay value. Hard games and games that take a long time to unlock shit bore me to tears.

Edit: Meh, don't bother that much, I'm a whiner ;_; It's boring but I kinda got the hang of it now.

In other things, can someone list the various items that physically change the characters? And what characters does it change? Well, the auras are obvious, and the Halo affects Goku End and Vegeta End, does it affect anyone else? Are there more itens like these?

Its not really that hard a fight, its just so darn long. There are other fights you could use, on that stage for example but this one has a part of the fight that you can use to hunt for that Dragon Ball. Set the storymode to easy if you are having trouble, since your only collecting Dragon Balls its probably the best idea.

THe only problems I've had with the collecting of Dragon Balls is if Hildegarn destroys the building with the Dragon Ball and when Porunga is the Dragon that shows up because he has nothing I want.

Save just before you activate the dragonballs. Then if you get a bad dragon you can just reset the game and try again.

What happens to the dragons when you wish all the wishes? Do they keep only the Z Points? Do they gain something else?

I believe they'd probably just have the Z-points. Also about the Yamucha games. Why are people complaining? You don't have to go with the character it gives you. You can just exit back the tournament menu and go back in to the tournament until you get what you want.

Yamcha games was good to me, first time that dificulty 2 appeared it game me Wheelo, first time difficulty 3 appeared it gave me Zangya and pitted me against Hildegarn, that was nasty, even if I won I had Giant Slug next. But on the second time it gave me Kid Buu :3

The character i got first was Super 17 so it was a piece of cake.

Uhhh you can only do that once.
The Yamcha game is only there at 5:00 and 6:00. If you go out again then the Yamcha game is gone and you'll have to go in and out again 24 times to get back to it. Even then it's no guarantee it'll be level 3 again.

I knew I would be misunderstood. You don't go all the way back out. You just press back once. That'll take you to the screen with Mr.Satan. The time will not change but you can proceed to the Yamucha games again and pick a different character. Maybe it was fixed for the English version? It works in the Japanese version.

Actually, the Halo item effects SSJ Gogeta, which I thought was cool, since the only damn time we see that form of Gogeta in the series, he has a Halo. Although it doesn't effect Vegetto.

Hey cool, I forgot to try that... It makes sense though. I still think that the Halo should be just a skin altering item that would affect all the characters we see dead and fighting, meaning: Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Chaozu, Piccolo, Freeza, Reecome, Guldo, Baata, Jeice, King Cold and Cell. Did I forgot anyone?

Edit: By the way, do I have to sacrifice my first born to get Red Shenron to come out?

I got all my Dragon Balls from the fight with Slug. Just don't activate the R3 event when it comes up and Slug never gets big.

Nope, still works here. Usually takes ages to get either a character I'm good as or a powerfull character though.

I got lucky. The first time I played it it gave me Mecha-Frieza. So beating the Yamcha Games was rather easy for me.

Now the Level 3 Cell Games are a different story - I had to cheat using a customized Kid Buu to win that thing. :twisted:

How do I play as Goku with a halo in any mode outside of the story modes where he's dead? (ex: movie 12 story)
