Hints
Defeating Bosses
When fighting a Boss, have a special move, teleport, and a good combo chosen. Run up to the Boss enough to teleport behind them, then do a combo. When he or she gets thrown away, lock on quickly and hurl a special move to cause maximum damage.
Defeating Android 17
To defeat Android 17 in Trunk's Saga, dodge his blasts, then press [Punch] four times each round.
Defeating Android 18
To defeat Android 18 in Trunk's Saga, dodge her blasts, then press [Punch] four times.
Defeating Captain Ginyu
When you are fighting Captain Ginyu, he digs underground most of the time and attacks from underneath. To avoid this, get up in the air and stay there. Captain Ginyu cannot fly. When you are up in the air, you can charge your Ki or a special move then keep launching attacks at him. He should be defeated after awhile.
You will need the attack Uppercut Special Move and Teleport. He digs a lot -- stay in the air. It is also useful to recharge the Ki meter in the air for some Bosses. Use uppercut on Captain Ginyu, then do Galik Gun when he falls to the ground. Wait until he gets half way up, then teleport behind him. Do punch and kick combos. Repeat this until he has been defeated.
Defeating Cell
Once in SS1, do only simple combos with a lot of buttons involved. The more buttons the better. Try using the first two combos that you learn. Note: You must have Combo Breaker. Try not to use Ki moves unless you have to; the longer you must charge, the more open you are to attacks.
Defeating Frieza
When fighting Frieza in Tyranny Of Friezam, he will Shoot Death Balls at you. Either dodge them, or when you are close to him, punch or kick him. He will dodge your Galick Guns by teleporting. Just punch him until Piccolo arrives.
Defeating Imperfect Cell
Once you are on the island, Sabamen will start attacking you. After the Sabamen, Imperfect Cell will appear. When you fight him you can kill him easily. Use uppercut, then lock on to him. Then, do Galik Gun. He will fall to the ground. Transport and do a another Galik Gun. Run up to him and start doing kicking combos.
Defeating Kid Buu
To defeat Kid Buu, you must use Spirit Bomb with Goku as your character. You must do this for about a half hour until he is defeated.
Defeating Vegeta
When fighting Vegeta, stay in the air the entire time. Dodge his Galic Guns. When he uses his other attack, it will only affect you if you are on the ground. While that attack occurs, Vegeta will be vulnerable. Lock on to him with [L] and hold [X] to hit him with a Kamehameha Wave. Keep doing this until he is defeated. You should not lose any health by doing this.
Fly in the air so you do not get hit, then stay in the air. Hold [X], then when Goku says Kame, release [X]. It will almost always hit him.
Dodge his moves and get up to him. Keep attacking with [B]x2, [Y]x2. Do not stop doing this to prevent Vegeta from guarding. Sometimes he will make a quick guard and start beating you again. Note: He is very fast.
Gohan: Defeating Nappa
Fly while shooting Mesenkos at Nappa. Nappa will eventually start shooting blasts of energy that paralyze you. Quickly dodge them and fire at him.
Goku: Defeating Freiza
When fighting Freiza as Goku, you can only hurt him when you are a Super Saiyan. When he charges up his Death Ball, use the Quick Teleport (if purchased) to get to him and deliver the blows to hurt him or charge up your Super Saiyan meter. Try using only punches and kicks, as he will dodge the Kamehame Wave. It will only hit and hurt him if you are Super Saiyan and if done while he is charging up his Death Ball.
Goku: Finishing moves
Press [Y]x5.
Teen Gohan: Defeating Perfect Cell
Keep hitting him until the Ki bar for Super Saiyan is full. Then turn Super Saiyan and keep hitting him until you have filled the Ki bar for Super Saiyan 2. Finally, when you turn Super Saiyan 2 attack Cell with Masenko, but first lock on to him with [L]. If he teleports behind you, use a combo. Note: Do not waste your Ki on Cell.
Hit Dende
In Tyranny Of Frieza you can hit Dende with Ki balls or a special move.
Protecting Goku
With two players, while one is fighting the Android, have the other person stand in between Goku and Dr. Gero. The Ki Blasts that Dr. Gero shoots should hit the other player instead of Goku. Make sure that they are a short distance away from Goku, as the explosion from taking the Ki Blasts can also hurt him.
Easy energy blast hits
When fighting a henchmen or Boss, get him within the view of the screen. You can do this when you are on the ground or in the air. Hold [X]. When game play slows down and your character starts charging up a blast, press [L] and put your aiming reticule on your enemy. Press [Teleportation] . You will teleport directly behind the enemy while you are still charging up. Once you have appeared behind the enemy, immediately release [X] to blast your enemy at point blank range. If you want to be reckless, charge another one after he falls to the ground from the last attack. Teleport behind him and blast him again. You can do this repeatedly. Note: It is easier to do this when the enemy is distracted by charging up his own blast or doing any other attack that he may be trying to perform. Just hit him with this before he can make it successful.
Unblockable finisher
Press [Y]x4, [X] with any character.
Warp finishing move
When locking onto an opponent with any character, while charging for an attack, teleport in front or in back of your opponent and attack.
Warp Kamekameha
To do a Warp Kamehameha or any Warp Ki attack, when charging it lock on to your opponent and teleport.
Fly backwards
Jump into the air and press [A] to hover. Then, hold [Analog-stick Forward] to fly until you nearly reach your maximum speed. Then, immediately hold [Analog-stick Away ]and you will fly backwards. Rotate the Analog-stick for more backwards-zooming fun.
Easy practice
Set the game on two-player mode. Have the second player be Goku or Vegeta. You will win against him because he cannot attack.
Easy wins
Throw someone. When they go flying, do Galick Gun, etc. and it will kill them.
Glitch: Freiza becomes stuck
In the fight with Freiza, if you hit him at the bottom of the screen he will be stuck. He will throw a blast at you, but you cannot hurt him. Throw a Kamehame Wave and he will be back on the island so that you can resume fighting him.
Glitch: Holding the Boss under your arm
When fighting Frieza, Cell, Captain Ginyu or any other Boss, grab your opponent at the same time that he attacks or grabs you. You will both fall to the ground and will get back up with the enemy under your arm. However, you cannot hurt the enemy, and will have to restart.
Glitch: Leave game boundary
In Journey to Namek, choose Piccolo (no cape). Defeat the first set of enemies. When you get to the second set (with the one on the building that is firing at you), defeat them as well. Next, go the location where the building meets the hill (closest to beginning). Get a run and jump at the building, but stay close to the hill at the same time. If done correctly, Piccolo should land on the hill! You can now climb up the hill and play around on the mountains in the background. The blue pits will take you into an infinite abyss.
In Tyranny of Frieza, choose any character and defeat the first three waves of enemies. Then, go to the second rock. You should see a tree and a strip of beach behind the rock. Destroy the tree. You need to get on the beach. To do so, you must fly over the rock. To fly over the rock, go to the big third rock. Get to the highest point on the bottom ledge, near the right. Jump and fly onto the next ledge. With practice you can get to the very top of the rock, and will be able to jump. Jump, fly, and go over the previous rock, then land. Now jump. If your character is greenish, jump again and press [Forward]. You should land. Jump, and if your character looks normal, move towards the left edge of the rock, but do not cross it. Keep going forward, and to the side slightly. Eventually your character should run off into the water. Be careful to fly here, or you will fall too far to come back. You can fly around looking at the islands, and and see Frieza's spaceship up close.
Glitch: Play as same character in pendulum mode
While at the character selection screen, have both players highlight the character you which to be the same as, then press [A] simultaneously. If done correctly, both should say their names at the same time. Note: The timing must be precise.
Glitch: Invisible character
When a Boss appears behind you and hits your character up in the air keep pressing [A] and you will become invisible.
