Most of them do just fine, really. ^^;

That's why there's little hiragana/katakana above the kanji characters.

The furigana (little kana) are generally meant for children. "Dragon Ball" being what it is, they include furigana.

Ah, I wasn't 100% sure about that, I just heard it from somewhere.

They sadly didn't include seperate stages for stuff like that, so you fight Tullece on the mountain road and Earth in ruin stages (the latter being the one you get from using one of the moves that blow up stuff good -- like Final Flash, Genki Dama, etc.). =/ That's also why Bardock fights on Namek in the Lonely Final Battle stages -- it acts as a sort of 'generic alien planet' for that story.

EDIT: Hah, awesome, name-correcting word filters.

But what happened to that planet (That I'm assuming is Vegeta)that Bardock fought Freeza on in the trailer?

Edit: Also, track 2 of the English music makes me think of Mario Kart 64 Rainbow Road. Ahh, the memories of my childhood, back when I didn't have a care in the world.

Edit 2: a lot of this stuff makes me think of various Nintendo games. It's good, but it doesn't feel like Dragon Ball. It'll do though, as I prefer new music to rehashing the Budokai music.

Thanks for your help everyone. I generally can turn Super Saiya-jin now. And for the ignorant, just because I live in Japan, doesn't make me Japanese. Strange, mindblowing concept, yes, I know. So I have a lot of problems with Kanji. It isn't really that simple to learn...

Secondary question. I just finished the game last night, and I have another like 12 characters to unlock. Any thoughts on how to do that? I played the entire game at level 2 so does that mean I have to play the entire game at level 3 now? Thanks again.

Having not seen the trailer... Did it have a night sky with a large planet/star seen in the background, and little pod-like buildings strewn here and there on the battlefield -- or was it just a reenactment of the climax to the special, where Bardock gets up close to Freeza's ship and unleashes his final attack?

If it's the former, that's a stage in-game that as far as I know is never used. It's listed as "wakusei"/"Planet" in the stage list.

Sounds like most of them are characters you get from Z-Fusion... A lot of people seem to miss Grandpa Gohan, Tao Pai Pai, etc. especially... Have you done any of the item fusions in the Evolution Z menu?

I got all the characters and transformations. 95% done. I did the Raditz what-if and the If Buu was never released what-if. Anyone know what the other/s is/are?

The last one is (highlight!) Beautiful Ambition. It is the Zarbon what-if, where Zarbon tries to gain the Dragonballs himself. To unlock it: Play Freeza Saga mission 01, "The Persuer who Brings Death" (Gohan/Krillin vs. Dodoria) and defeat Dodoria.

Go here and take " Wii Combat Walkthrough Feature " to see how the Wii-version of the game works.

That's what it was! I knew there was a mission like that in the Freeza sga, I just forgot which. Thanks a bunch.

mmm, Wii version wins. Maybe I should make that my first Wii game. (Concidering the Wii launches here December 8, it might just be a european launch game)

Komati · Post by **Komati** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 3:33 pm

I am going to get them both! I most of all want the Wii version, but i can't wait until December so i see no other way then get them both.

As of now I have no interest of getting a Wii so I'll defintiely be at the store on Nov. 7 or 8 to get the PS2 version. I'll probably end up getting a Wii after it's been out for 2 or 3 years like I did with my Gamecube, or when it gets an original Zelda title (Twilight Princess doesn't count since I'll be getting it for Gamecube).

I thought it came out in 2007? Not sure though!

Wait... isn't this game supposed to have '80 hours worth' of gameplay? Why is everyone completing it so fast?

... or do you just play the game 24 hours a day, 7 days per week? Wait.. the game hasn't been out that long, so that's not right...

IGN has said that it will take more than 60 hours of gameplay and less seasoned players might have to spend even more time. My guess is that these are simply gamers who are experts and rush through whatever they can play with. (And have no life.

Beat it 100%! All characters and all that shenanigans.
I spent most of my weekend in multiplayer with roommates.
Next we are going to have fun matches with all the big guys =D

Now about that midterm I have tomorrow..... *studies*

So, you got it 100% huh?

Ok, so inquiring minds want to know. What is the real scoop on this Arale nonsense. Is she in the in the game or not?
