Tips and Tricks for Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3
The seven Dragon Balls in DBZ Tenkaichi
Budokai 3
How to get the 7 Dragon Balls
The Dragon Balls are disseminated through the Stages in
the story
mode and it is possible to earn them as an additional price if you win
the tournaments.
If the player has collected the seven Dragon Balls, he
can invocate
the Dragons and unlock some additional characters, potaras and arenas
or get some Z points.
So here are some tips to get the 7 Dragon Ball faster :
In the story mod, it is particularly easy to collect the
7 Dragon
Ball in the Goku VS Slug and Future Trunks VS Imperfect Cell missions.
All you have to do is to run through the buildings until you get a
Dragon Ball and then win the fight (otherwise you will loose the ball).
How to invocate the Dragon you want to invocate :
Choose Your Shenron
Like in the anime, there are 3 Dragons who can be
invocated in
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and they are : Shenron, Porunga and
Ultimate Shenron and each one of them can unlock differents things.
So, how to invocate a particular Dragon so you can
unlock the character, stage or object you want ?
When you activate the 7 Dragon Balls, they RANDOMLY
invocate one of
the Dragons so to invocate the Dragon you want, do the following :
After
collecting the seven Dragon Balls, Save the game and then activate the
Dragon Balls. If the Dragon invocated isn't the one you want, just
reboot the game, load your savegame and activate the 7 Dragon Balls
again. Repeat this procedure until the Dragon you want is invocated.

Team battle mods and only if the characters below are in the same team :
- Gogeta and Vegeto : Goku (End) and Vegeta (2nd
Form).

To make theses characters merge during a fight, press

(on the PS2), keep it pushed and in the same time, press the left, top
or right arrows button to become the fused character you want (Vegeto,
Super Vegeto, Super Gogeta, Gogeta SSJ4 and

How to KO evil opponents in one hits with Spike the
Devilman
Devilman's Ultimate Kikoha inflicts more or less damages
to his
opponents depending how good or evil they are. If Devilman's opponent
has a pure heart, his Ultimate won't inflict any damage to him but as
contrary against a character filled with evil, the super move will be
devastating ... and if you give the right potaras to Spike the
Devilman, he can KO theses characters in one hit with this move.
How to KO any opponents in one hit with Goku (Middle)
To do this trick, give the same potaras I gave to the
character Goku
(Middle) in the Tenkaichi 3 Tips and Tricks video below and choose to
set the fight on the "Namek Planet" Stage. Then do what I did in the
video and your opponent will be knocked out cold after having been
touched by Goku's Spirit Bomb.

How to KO any opponents with Tenshinhan's ultimate
Give Tienshinhan the same potaras I gave him in the video

The Special abilities
In addition to the 3 special moves and 2 skills which all

How to stun the opponent in Dragonball Z Budokai
Tenkaichi 3
When the opponent is low on ki and you aren't on max
power mod,
attack him and if he blocks use a chargeable attack oriented in a given
direction (for example press Square+Left for a few second) to try
breaking his guard. The thing is : Each time you break the oppnent's
guard, you take one Ki bar out of him so if has less than one ki bar
and you break his guard, he will be stunt, out on his feets, during a
moment.
A good tip to increase your chance of stunning the opponent
is to give to your character the yellow potaras "Mind
Breaker" or
better if you play with an Evil character, give him the blue potara
"Gigantic Power". With the "Mind Breaker" potara, your character will
take out of his opponent 2 ki bars if he breaks his guard and with the
"Gigantic Power" potara, 3 ki bars.
How to absorb energy with Dr Gero, Android 19 and
Super 17
When you play with Dr Gero, Android 19 or Super Android
17, if the
opponent fire an energetic attack toward you, press the "Circle" button
and keep it pushed while using the directional left or righ arrows. If
you do that, your Android character will absorb the energetic attack.
It works both with small energy blast and Kikohas (Super Moves).
The Max Power Mode
When a character has his 5 yellow ki bar and 5 blue ki bar
fully empty, he reaches Max power mode.
In this mod, he gains additional skills proper to this mod.
How to use fast movements in Max Power Mode
In max power mode and only with some characters like for
example
Goku SSJ3, press the Circle button + one of the directional arrow and
your character will disappear and reapper shortly in the given
direction.
Infinite Combos
In Dragonball Z Tenkaichi 3, the characters can do melee
combos
indefinitely when they are in Max Power mode (but the Max Power mode is
limited in time).
NOTE : However, a few characters have patterns which allows
them to perform infinite combos when they are in their normal state :
You can view theses special Infinite combos for Tenkaichi 3 here :
