To get all the moves for a character get all seven dragonballs and wish for the "breakthrough" capsule. (it comes up with random characters to do this on if you do not like the characters that appear. turn off your console and try again. Repeat until you get your desired character).

How to Unlock Omega

To unlock omega friezas ultimate form really scary what you have to do is beat the game on all difficulty levels and this is gong to take a long time to do you have to unlock all characters then go to tournament mod and beat it on the hardest difficulty level with all characters after you do that go back to tournament mode put it on hard and then after you beat that omega will appear you have to beat him to get him.

Alternate Level Backgrounds

Go into Dual or practice and select your character.  When you are asked to choose the level highlight either Valley Plains or Cell Games Ring.  Instead of selecting with the A button press X

Easy Way to Knock Your Opponent Out Of the Ring

Ok. For this hint you can use any character that you want. Go to world tournament and chose the difficulty (novice, adept, advanced). Then chose your character( you can have him wear a different outfit if you chose him and normal or custom with the Y button and then hitting the A button after you have chosen). You will be placed with an opponent. When you start the match try to get as far away from your opponent as possible and charge up your Ki so that you can transform into a stronger and faster character (Goku-Super Saiyan). Next let your opponent knock you to the edge of the ring but don't get to close or he might knock you out of the ring. As quickly as you can hit down or up B together to spin around your opponent. This maneuver should leave him wide open for an un-blockable punch (the R button). You can hold down the R button in case he follows you and tries to block so you can really hit him hard. This maneuver should work so use it repeatedly and you should win the tournament.

Awsome Strategy

If you want to make a lot of money in the world tournaments, first finish story mode and get the viral heart disease, then put it on your custom character's skills list with the vaccine along with it (make sure you buy the vaccine at Mr.Popo's shop). Also make the time in world tournament 30 seconds, and just keep dodging your opponents attacks by holding down guard and tapping up or down. Use the dodge technique to help stay away from the edge of the ring and dodge punches and kicks. This is a really awesome strategy trust me it works really well.

How to Get Goku's Dad Bradoc

First you change the difficulty to very hard and go trough story mode but you have to do the levels you first started out with .then after you beat them you will get bardoc. Bardoc has the best moves in the whole game.

Freize's Space Ship

To get frize's spaceship you have to go to MR. Popo's shop and keep going  in and out of the edit skills shop. It is 12000 zenie but it is worth it. you get to become the machine freize but first  you have to die and you get full life and energy. It is the bomb!!

Transformation Trick

If your at a transformation (Gokus King Kai Fist times 10) and you get knocked down and you are below the ki level you transform back to normal but if your a character with multiple transformations (Cell, Frieza, Goku)
you go back to the previous one, take Cell perfect Form and you get knocked down below the Ki level you'll be at 2nd stage. this works on all characters with multiple transformations

Alternate Planet Namek

Go to practice mode and pick Goku (make sure he has "spirit bomb") Then go to Planet Namek and use the spirit bomb on whoever you had chosen to be an opponent. After that you should see a water surrounding you and you will see a water tornado and lots of other stuff.

Get All Characters

Complete story mode (including the extra sections after initially completing the game).
The remaining characters can be unlocked by winning world match on all difficulties.

Great Strategy

This is one of my best and favorite strategies to win in duel mode against the computer or your friend. Select Captain Ginyu as your character. Once you start the match, don't fight back. Wait until you only have about half of your yellow meter left, then do Captain Ginyu's body switch (right+square,square,triangle,circle). Your opponent should gain your low health and body and you should get their high health and body. Then all you have to do is finish them off with their own special move (Press Start then go to Skills Sheet).

The easy way to turn super saiyan

First, get the super saiyan ability, then press R1 and R2 at the same time to transform. this way can be used for anyone's type of transformation.

To get Teen Gohan

When selecting character, highlight kid gohan and press square, you should get a box giving you the choice of kid gohan or teen gohan.

Moves for Trunks

Go S.S:With three or more ki gauges, P, K, G.
buster cannon:PPPP Ki buton
finish buster:P right+p p ki button

Vegeta Moves

Super Saiyan: With 4 or More KI Guauges
Square,triangle,X

Galick Cannon(A) ! Ki Gauge Used

Vegeta's Skills

Super Sayian = triangle R2
Galick Gun = square x4 circle
Final Flash = square x2 Triangle x2 circle

If you are going to buy some of Vegetas skills buy Super Sayian Vegeta, Super Vegeta, Final Flash, Big Bang & Galick Gun.

Easy Way To Win Tournament Mode

message: All you have to do is pick Captain Ginyu in tournament mode. Don't do anything and when you are in the red life bar use his body switch technique. You will have your opponents high life and ki and your opponent will have your low one. I have won all of tournament mode with this move. I got 50,000 zenie and got a red capsule which had Super Trunks 2. So do this trick always. 

Spirit Bomb

You can do this only with goku and cell!!!!!!!! With cell you go to perfect form and have more than 3 ki.Then if you are on the left side of the screen you press P Left& P Left& P & K & O.If your on the right side of the screen you press P Right & P Right & P & K & O!!! For Goku you have to get the skill and put it under custom mode then when you pick your player pick goku and go to custom mode then when you play you need to be either king kai fist 2,5, or 10! Then if your on the left side of the screen press P Left & P & P & K & O! If your on the right side of the screen press P Left & P & P & K & O!

Tip: You can only do spirit bomb with cell if your in Perfect form.You can not do the spirit bomb with goku as a super saiyan! You can only do it with goku as king kai fist 2,5,or 10 !!

Easy way to get all DragonBalls

You can collect all 7 DragonBalls during the game, They cost 8000 Zenie at Mr. Popo's Shop. The are listed under Recomended and you can buy them over and over.  Just keep going in and out of Mr. Popo's shop until it shows a black capsule by the word recommended and it will say like '1-7 star DragonBall'. That saves you from going to recommended and buying and buying till it pops up a DragonBall capsule.

SS4 Goku

Beat tournament mode with all characters on advanced then hold select + X while selecting goku he should power up to ss4 but he is only as strong as a normal ss but it is still cool.

Breakthrough Tip

When all 7 dragonballs are collected you summon shenron(as you should know already)and you get to choose between 3 characters to give breakthrough too.If you dont want any of those characters to have it,reset your PS2 and go back into it.To get all 7 dragonballs,go in and out of "edit skills" until a dragonball comes up at recommended,and you should have no problom getting all 7. Note:It does take a while for the dragonballs to show up so you have to have patience for this.

Better Breakthrough Tip

When you call Shenron and are at the point of the three choices don’t wish yet. Remove the memory card and wish (it doesn’t matter who because it will say that there is no memory card). When asked to retry say no. You will be taken back to call Shenron again. Repeat until the fighter of choice appears in the list then re-insert the memory card and it will be saved.

Alternate Outfits

Highlight the name of the character you want the alternate outfit of and press square. When it goes to the fight, your character will be wearing an outfit worn once in the show.
