You may be wondering why I decided to make a training mode guide. There are quite a few reasons. I am doing this guide for practice, fun, and because I'm partially bored. This guide could prove useful if you want a small taste of what to expect in the game or just absorb some knowledge. Have fun! The feed back has been great! Thanks so much, and keep sending comments and questions. I'm now requesting you send your e-mails to Jaheavenridge@comcast.net instead of the Guilty Spark address. This makes it way easier for me to check and get to you faster. AIM and MSN are my best forms of contact. AIM is Jayheavenridge and MSN is Jaheavenridge@comcast.net thanks! Have fun with this awesome game! Oh, and do this training mode and practice. Your grandma's ready to school you! :) ---------------- II) Mangarein's updates! Update as of 12/22/04 I created this section with overall news on myself and what guides I'm planning I've decided to do the Trunks character guide after all! I'm going to get it done very soon. My website Exiled Nexus will be up soon, we make custom sprites for free as of right now. I hope you have an excellent Christmas, Hannika, Kawanza or Hanikawanza! I'm getting lots of new games to write guides for, so be looking out for them!

Also, holding X and pressing up and down will cause you to move up and down to another angle around your enemy. Triangle Button Used: The Triangle Button is used for kicking. It can be used in rapid successions to do multiple kicks. The Triangle Button can also be used in large combos to do more powerful attacks. Circle Button Used: The Circle Button is used to fire KI beams. New to the Dragonball Z Budokai franchise is the ability to fire multiple KI beams at your enemy without stopping. The circle button may also be used in combinations with the other fighting buttons to trigger more devastating KI attacks. Square Button Used: This makes your character punch. You can press the Square Button several times to do a punching combo. Square and the other fighting buttons combined can make powerful physical and energy attacks. R1 Button Used: Punch and Kick at the same time. This is also referred to as throwing. If you use this while near an opponent your character should execute their own style of throw. R2 Button Used: Punch and Guard at the same time. Start Button Used: This pauses the game, and the menu comes up. You can choose any of the options on the menu while here.

You can use it this mode to practice difficult techniques and other strategies. You can make the computer stand still or fight back if you want. In this mode you will never run out of life and your energy can be set at max by pressing SELECT button. There really is nothing to this mode. -Display Information On the practice mode screen is a small display at the bottom (if you have it turned on). This tells you the statistics of your character and what kind of damage he is doing. Example of the Display Max Hits 0 Please Submit Known Answers< Submitted By: Eli-Ron Aminov Q. Sometimes when I see a ???? mark on the map, when I try to select it. He floats up all cool like. I can't find out how I did it... and another person said they did it as Broly also. Many people would be happy if someone would answer this for me. Thanks >Please Submit the answer if you know it to Jaheavenridge@comcast.net Submitted By: ? Q. What do the stats mean on dragon universe mode such as Com and Arts? Thanks A. THANKS TO GamingGuru@aol.com Com stands for computer. When someone enters the code they received from a friend, this stat makes the computer smarter and harder to beat. Arts is the strength of your KI attacks. THANK YOU VERY MUCH GAMINGGURU! ------------------- VII) Block Buster Contest Recently, at Block Buster... Every time you rent Dragonball Z: Budokai 3 from a block buster you get a entry into a drawling that will be selected at random. Using a Game Pass with the game gives you 2 entries to the contest.

To fill this section, I might have entered in basic questions I hear a lot. Q. Are you going to make more Budokai 3 guides? A. Yes, I plan on releasing one for Chibi Trunks so far. It'll be in-depth. -updated- A. No, I've changed my plans. I am no longer doing a Chibi Trunks guide as far as I know.
