"Sparking! NEO" Help Thread

[Anonymous Friend]

Anywho, I am proud to say I have all characters/forms in Sparking! NEO/Budokai Tenkaichi 2, though getting Grandpa Gohan's "Fox Mask" took about 4 or 5 efforts with Buu. And just so you all know, I played the entire story mode (What-Ifs and all) on level 1, so maybe I'm just being lazy, but I still got all characters/forms. Maybe if it was a Dimps game I'd try it out on the biggest difficulty, but with the SPIKE games I just like to go at it the easiest I can.

That's actually what I did. And I also did all the Tournements on level one. But afterwards I started on Ultimate Battle and am doing that on level 3. I am planning on going thru the story mode again on level 3.

Although, on level one there were maybe a half a handful of fights that I had to repeat. But I did repeat the "2 Majin Buus" scenerio over and over again for the super boost in EXP and million Zenies.

This may be a dumb question, but how do you tag with your partner before you die? They don't tell you how in the manual.

If you're asking regarding the Ps2 version, just press L2/L3(left analog)/R3(right analog), and you aren't limited to making tags just before a character of yours is about to die, you can do it at any point as long as the teammate gauge is filled. If your copy is the Wii version, I have no idea, perhaps read a "FAQ" on gamefaqs.com? That or just go through the Training session in the game (it's interactive this time).

I don't know if anyone else has encountered this, but in the story mode when the gang fights copies of themselves, it would not allow me to switch out with another character. Was this a glitch or were they supposed to fight in sequence?

Also, while holding L2 you use L3 to choose who you want to switch to if you have more than one tag partner.

Thanks a ton for your help, Tori-bot! Y'll be sure to get on that tomorrow after work!

No prob.

And Fateful Brothers is the best what-if ever.

Oh, and make sure to equip Z-Items if you're having trouble beating Raditz and/or Gohan.

I can't find Grandpa Gohan in any of the Dark Dragon scenarios... Any further hints?

[gohanku]

It not the Dark Dragon, it the Destined Rivals scenarios when you fight Vegeta as Goku for the first time.

Thanks!

I'm stuck on the Satan vs. 18 fight... X_x
I beat her by ring out in the Buu Saga by pure dumb luck after trying for an hour. But this time she's way harder! :/ How did you guys beat her? Mr. Satan is utterly worthless in this game.

[gohanku]

The Buu saga version was very hard, I tried ringing her out like crazy and it worked but the Destined Rivals was weird , 18 just flew out off the ring and landed on the wall of the building, ringing herself out. My advise is to try and to knock her near the edge and smash her down to drop her onto the floor. (Beware of the Krillian one!)

I equiped him with a couple of halos, ki and B2 +10s. Then kept using his present special until her health went away.

Oh man, I hated that Mr. Satan fight.

He kept falling out of the ring.

I like the idea of him stumbling in the air, but in the Tenkaichi Budokai ring it is a serious annoyance.

[Castor Troy]

I was lucky enough to get #18 out of the ring with Satan's regular L2 + triangle move.

[Anonymous Friend]

To be honest, I don't think Mr. Satan should have a standard Ki gauge. Simply because he done have any Ki based attacks. They should have kept him like he was in Ultimate Battle 22, where he use bombs and weapons.

Aside from the blue stat Potaras, I'm only missing one Potara. It's the one listed between the yellow "Master's Pressure" and "Master's Trump Card". Does anyone know what that missing one is, and where to get it?

[gohanku]

Is it possible to get the World Tournament stage? I checked the stages and realised that you don't start out with it, so can you get the World Tournament stage at all?

Go to Gamefaqs and they have a list of everything. I think I know what you're refering to but I don't have my list on me right now.

I think you have to complete all the tournament courses and levels

I found out what it's called (Master's Presence), but it never said where to get it. Unless I missed that part.

In the story of Tenkaichi 2, does it matter what level(1,2 or 3) I choose? Will it effect the outcome of me getting specific items? All it does is adjust the computer difficulty level right?

Also, can you unlock the view on the character like Tenkaichi 1? Or once its locked on you can't unlock, unless you get hit by a special attack.

In 2 players vs. mode, before you choose what stage. It says "Map Effect " on or off if I press it. What does map effect do?

It doesn't affect the items you can get, just the enemy difficulty (and the amount of experience points you get).

Also, can you unlock the view on the character like Tenkaichi 1? Or once its locked on you can't unlock, unless you get hit by a special attack.

When you're not in close-combat mode with the enemy, just move towards the camera (as in, press down) and press the Lock On button to unlock from your enemy.

I've never tried that one, but I'm guessing having it off would disable breaking objects in the level, or maybe disable you from blowing up the arena (you know, when it cuts to a shot of the planet from space, with a huge explosion, then when you go back to the fight, the arena is changed).

How do I gain experience in Dragon Adventure? I beat some opponents, but it still says 8 exp.

Give your players Z items such as Health 5, Attack 5, Ultimate Blast 5, Blast-2 5, etc. I was confused about it when I first started, but it's very easy to understand and provide. These "Z item" elements play the role that levels your characters up at all when defeating your opponents, without them, you can't level a character up the slightest after even a hundred battles.
