And by discovered I mean heard on another forum, tried it for myself, and now taking credit.

You can get battle-damaged versions of Vegeta's Saiyan armor once he transforms into Majin, looks pretty sharp too.

You're slow Deus. I've known this since B2. Expected it in B3. Tried it soon as I had the Majin Cap. ^^

How could you have known about it in Budokai 2, when Vegeta doesn't even have Saiyan armor in that game? o_O

Yes he does, his alternate outfit in B2 was his Cell saga armour.....

I said Saiyan armor, not Bulma's armor.

If you ask my opinion it count's as Saiyan armour anyway.... after all, Bardock had armor similar to Vegeta's cell saga armour.... I don't think Bulma made THAT did she?

Bulma's armor was a reproduction of the old-style armor, was it not?

I think there were some slight differences between the two of them though, like how Bulma's version had thinner shoulder-straps and went halfway up Vegeta's neck while his saiyajin armor ended just below his neck.

Xyex · Post by **Xyex** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 5:06 am

Be all that as it may, it's still armor, and it's still cracked/damaged. The fact that it was cracked/damaged led me to expect the same from B3 and all 3 armors there.

And besides that Deus, that's also the same armor design as what he wore on Namek and I KNOW Bulma didn't make that. XP

Deus ex Machina · Post by **Deus ex Machina** » Sun Dec 12, 2004 11:34 pm

Well I didn't try it on Budokai 2, so I didn't know about that until now. Nobody ever tells me these things.

Vegeta didn't wear that style of armor on Namek though; his had shoulder pads, and the next one was like a shoulderless version.

Guess what? Got the game today! Sold a few, got the last copy there was (2nd hand. Lucky), only tried practice mode, we finished Goku's and Yamcha's DUs, got Bardock and Chibi Goku, and so far loving the game! Any tips when I fight my brothers?

Sure. If you get one of your ki blasts deflected back at you, use it to teleport behind your opponent. Also, play characters with transformations if you want a significant advantage, because some people will know they're f***ed if they're up against a SSJ4 being played by an expert, which may also give you some sort of psychological advantage. And be cautious/conservative when using Hyper Mode and your ultimates until you know what you're doing. If your ki runs down, it just leaves you open for your opponent's ultimate or whatever else he or she might have in mind. If your opponent has less than three ki bars, then take that opportunity to beat him or her senseless. In fact, if you're really skiddish, then don't waste your ki on any special attacks unless you KNOW your opponent cannot teleport behind you (unless of course you can counter the same way without any consequences). Also, don't specifically consentrate on knocking your opponent outside the ring in the tournament mode, just think about getting a KO, and you'll end up occasionally knocking some opponents out just as a consequence. There. I typed anything that might or might not be useful that immediately came to mind.

But if you want to prove how much better you are than everyone you play against, then fight their Goku's and Vegeta's or Piccolo's by playing ONLY Mr. Satan.

We'll respect you and shower you with praise for it.

I was just reading the Budokai 3 strategy... is Omega's Death Move really Minus Energy Ball or some shit like that instead of the dub's Negative Karma Ball?

Xyex · Post by **Xyex** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 6:02 am

Yep, it's called Minus Energy Ball... stupid name, cool looking move.

Another thing Frobman, there are three characters that can't teleport. Uub, Videl, and Hercule. Keep that in mind when play as or against them. Also, certain characters do more damage per % than others. For example, a basic punch from the likes of Base Goku does more damage than the same move from Videl.

Frobman · Post by **Frobman** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 6:06 pm

Thanks for the new tips! Thogh I couldn't do Dragon rush/ persue well, I'm a mean teleporter (3 times max. I got!), I'll leave the human thing a secret for a while. Wahahahaha!

Have any of you found this glitch when trying to play Broly's DU? It starts with Goku flying through the map it self. My brother had this 5 times, but it later worked (now he owes me a chocolate bar. Bet).

Deus ex Machina · Post by **Deus ex Machina** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 7:02 pm

I've been hearing about that glitch on a few sites; luckily mine doesn't have it.

The S · Post by **The S** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 1:13 am

I can't seem to find it on this forum, but how do you get Meta-Cooler? I did as all of the FAQ's say, but it doesn't work -_-

Post by **VegettoEX** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 1:17 am

Do you mean get the "Cooler's Spaceship" capsule, or actually PLAY AS Metal Coola?

You can get the capsule either in the shop or somewhere floating around on Namek the 2nd time through as Goku. I dunno why people have problems with these types of things... I just flew around and got everything with no problem.

If you mean PLAY AS him... it works the same way as "Freeza's Spaceship" in this game / the last game (being it works exactly the same as a Senzu). Have the capsule attached. Now die / lose all of your life-bars. His spaceship will come floating down from above, beam him up, crank around for a second, and then spit him back down as Metal Coola with full lifebars. Metal Coola / Mecha Freeza are not separate playable characters.

I have like 85+ in this game.
I can help you guys with your questions.

Let me start off with Bulma is NOT a playable character.

Ask away.

To acquire the capsule. I know about how to play as him, as I have Frieza's Spaceship already, and I have Budokai 1 & 2 as well.

But every strategy I read says you fight MetaCooler after fighting Cooler on Namek in Goku's DU mode second time around. And after beating MetaCooler, you get the capsule. After I beat Cooler, however, it went straight to Cell Saga.
