	First, Long states that Kenzo must memorize all the actions ''FighterZ'' has to offer, and produces a large number of scrolls. He guesses that Kenzo is the type to dislike studying, and wonders if he can do it. Kenzo gamely states that he can memorize everything in as little as ten minutes. An hour passes, and Kenzo declares he has everything memorized while lying half-asleep on the floor. Long realizes his early doubts were foolish, but is curious about Mamoru having told him that the depths of the "Back-alley Saiyan's" powers were even more formidable. Kenzo snaps up, accepting a candy bar from Long, and demands to be given his next task.

An hour passes, and Kenzo declares he has everything memorized while lying half-asleep on the floor. Long realizes his early doubts were foolish, but is curious about Mamoru having told him that the depths of the "Back-alley Saiyan's" powers were even more formidable. Kenzo snaps up, accepting a candy bar from Long, and demands to be given his next task.

	Long declares that next comes the real thing, and pulls the tarp off a "Giant BV-X" (Battle View Cross) game unit. Long asks him to use the knowledge he has obtained to demonstrate his own personal combos in Training Mode against a CPU-controlled Freeza.

Long asks him to use the knowledge he has obtained to demonstrate his own personal combos in Training Mode against a CPU-controlled Freeza.

	Kenzo marvels at the size of the system, which is several times larger than a person, but Long simply dares him to press the buttons. "Punch! Kick! ~~Let your~~ fighting ~~skills~~ flow ~~through~~ the game!"		Kenzo marvels at the size of the system, which is several times larger than a person, but Long simply dares him to press the buttons. "Punch! Kick!" he cries. He tells Kenzo to let his fighting senses flow into the game.

	Kenzo launches his body from the floor into the "A" button and lands a kick on Freeza with his Goku. However, afterward Kenzo has trouble landing any hits on the CPU, which dodges and retaliates. Perhaps the difficulty owes to the size of the BV-X system, or perhaps it stems from somewhere else.

However, afterward Kenzo has trouble landing any hits on the CPU, which dodges and retaliates each time. Perhaps the difficulty owes to the size of the BV-X system, or perhaps it stems from somewhere else.

	Long stops Kenzo and demands to know why he refuses to use weak attacks. If he stays fixated on strong attacks, the CPU will always have time to move, and Kenzo will lose the opportunity to chain hits together. Kenzo responds that he dislikes the idea of using weak attacks, as his goal in ''FighterZ'' is to get "stronger."		Long stops Kenzo and demands to know why he refuses to use weak attacks.

	Long is dumbfounded. Kenzo had absolutely been using weak attacks up through his match against Musashi. He wonders if Kenzo simply decided against using them once he knew them by that name. ~~"In that case..."~~		Long is dumbfounded. Kenzo had absolutely been using weak attacks up through his match against Musashi. He wonders if Kenzo simply decided against using them once he knew them by that name.

	Long lunges toward Kenzo with his fan. Kenzo takes a hit on the face and jabs toward Long, stopping just short of landing the blow. Long asks Kenzo why he chose a jab. Kenzo answers that it was fastest, and would be able to stop Long's movements.		Long lunges toward Kenzo with his fan.

	Long tugs at Kenzo's wrist-band. ~~"Then, was~~ this strike.~~..weak?~~" ~~he asks.~~ Kenzo replies in outrage that since Long seemed like he was really trying to kill him, he had a serious blow ready to finish him in one hit wound up with his other hand. As Kenzo ~~explains, he~~ has the realization that his jab might be the same as one of ''FighterZ'''s "weak" attacks.

	Kenzo remembers his time as a street brawler. For an opening, he would choose one or two weak attacks. Then, in the interval, a medium attack, before finishing with a strong blow or special technique. Each kind of movement was important.		Kenzo remembers his time as a street brawler.

	Kenzo takes to the game again with this realization in mind. If he can simply make Goku move in the same he would during a real-world brawl, his own unique combo style will be born.

	He lands a five-hit combo against Freeza, then flings himself from the giant BV-X's joystick up to the shoulder button, punching straight through it to end the match with a Kamehameha, which racks up a 25-hit combo.
