(____________________________Introduction__________________________)

So after seeing the character FAQs build up for this game, I thought it
would be good to start my own on my best character - 17.

This is my first FAQ, and I plan on updating it whenever. There may be some
things I don't know or have forgotten to put in in this FAQ, so if you find
anything that you think I should put in e-mail me.

Now, without further adu, I present to you the Android 17 FAQ.

(_____________________________Android 17___________________________)
____________________________________________________________________
|PROFILE: Android 17 was originally created by Dr. Gero. Created   |
|-------- primarily to kill Goku, Androids 17 and 18 were also the |
|keys necessary to making Cell complete.                           |
|								   |
|He was formerly a delinquent boy, but he was taken against his    |
|will and reconstructed into an android along with 18. Naturally,  |
|he hates Dr. Gero, and after being activated in the lab, he wasted|
|no time in taking his revenge.                                    |
|								   |
|With his limitless power supply,Android 17 is capable of a variety|
|energy attacks. He can also use his specialty, a powerful android |
|barrier, to deflect attacks from his opponents.                   |
|__________________________________________________________________| 

1. How do I unlock Android 17?
You don't. As soon as you start playing the game, 17 is already on the roster.

2. What role did Android 17 play in the Dragon Ball Z Anime series?
He was an evil android created by Dr. Gero to get revenge on Goku. In 17's
character profile, it said he was actually once human. The last you see of
17 in the Z series is in an episode specifically titled "Say Goodbye, 17",
where he is absorbed by Cell after being weakened in a battle with Piccolo. 
He is revived when Shenron grants the wish of everyone who is killed by 
Cell to come back. He leads a peaceful life after that, avoiding Goku and 
the others. The last time you see him in Dragon Ball Z is when he helps Goku 
form a spirit bomb to defeat Kid Buu.
He is seen again in Dragon Ball GT, where another 17 comes to fuse
with him to make Super 17. 

3. Where do you play as him/against him in the game?
In Trunks' story you get to fight him as Gohan and Trunks. In the Android Saga
you have a few battles against him, and also one battle where you play as him 
on Piccolo's side to fight Cell. In Future Trunks series you will also have 
to fight him again. Then, finally, in the Super 17 saga you have a couple 
battles against him as Trunks and 18.

4. What advantages/disadvantages is there to using 17?
Advantages:
Good speed
Automatically charges
Good moveset
Fast melee
Rushing range is great

Disadvantages:
You cannot charge with L2 until all yellow bars are full.
MAX Attack isn't all that accurate.

5. What are some good potaras for 17?
Bulma's Support
Dragon Homing +1/+2
Gero's Lab Data
Gravity Device
Magic Beast Yakon
Majin Seal
MAX Power Plus
Perfect Stance
Turtle Stone

6. What costumes are there for 17 and how many?
There are only two costumes - one is the original outfit that was shown in the
Anime and the second is a tan one remixed with warmer colors.

7. What is the Android 17 lvl. 160 Password?
[Note: Do NOT e-mail me telling me these passwords don't work. If none of them 
work for you, you simply aren't putting them in right]
You can use any of the p/ws below:
-a$ba zhkf eLGK f(yU fnW? U+If F-y? DRr%
-hDSh vPLT RiwG d)T! +fw- ebxU b@jN Cefk

(___________________________Spec. Attacks__________________________)

Welcome to the Special Attacks section of the guide. This one will be a little
different then the last section - I will explain each attack, and how to use
them to your advantage. I hope that this section will prove the most useful, as
17's Spec. attacks are definately savvy for any situation in any battle!
____________________________________________________________________

BLAST 1

Android Barrier
L2 + Circle
Costs 1 Blast Stock
Damage: 170
Description: This is an attack that allows you to block any projectiles,
rushes, or melee attacks of any kind. Use it whenever necessary, it's very
helpful to block B2's and UB's with it.

Finish Sign
L2 + Up + Circle
Costs 1 Blast Stock
Damage: 0
Description: This attack gives you a boost of power. It stays in effect until
you use a Blast/Spec. attack. Use it when you want to finish an opponent off
with melee or you don't have too many energy bars at the time.

BLAST 2

Full Power Energy Ball
L2 + Triangle
Uses 3 Ki Guage Bars
Damage: 9000-11020
Description: This attack sends out 2 energy balls at the enemy. Can deal a good
amount of damage. Use it whenever you get someone in the air so that they can't
defend themselves when you use it.

Delta Combination
L2 + Up + Triangle
Uses 2 Ki Guage Bars
Damage: 9020 - 11060
Description: Android 17's rush attack! :D !! This powerful attack is what makes
him more useful then other androids (maybe besides 13, who also has a decent
rush B2). With just a 2 Ki Bar cost, it is easy to take advantage of. I might
add also that this attack has a great range, and can pretty much tackle to any
opponent as long as they're in sight range on the stage.

ULTIMATE BLAST

Full Power Energy Wave
[In MAX POWER mode]
L2 + Down + Triangle
Uses 4 Ki Gauge Bars
Damage: 12500-12740
Description: Ok, so this is not that accurate. You'd have to have a stupid
opponent or have someone close enough for this to hit - but if it does, it's a
doozy of an attack! Good luck with it.
